Please do a video styling your mom!! It would be great to do a capsule wardrobe and then add some modern looks to her wardrobe in another one. Please?
Yes, I need looks from Lydia on over 60 and 70 wanting to hide a stomach area, what do we wear. I’m size 12/14
This sounds like a fun idea, if Lydia and her mom are both willing😊
I’m not as strict with jeans because styles change even if the similar styles return but I totally agree with most of these preferences. The only thing I’m a stickler about is the shape since I’m petite and have to choose the shape more carefully-ie: not too flared, not too wide, not too high rise, etc.
Great idea
Would love the idea of Lydia styling her mother.
Thank you. That was so useful for a 54 year old. It’s so easy to get completely wrong at my age. I have a pair of 501s from the first time they were fashionable. Vintage like me 😂
You are doing great, Antonia!❤
Thanks Lydia, that was really useful. Would love a “what jeans to wear with what footwear” video!
Can we just appreciate your nails being on point every video?! Beautiful 🤍
Nail lacquer needs to disappear- it is so bad for the environment and for one's health.
Nails that beautifully manicured do more for a woman than jewelry 💎
I really like a bootcut or flare jean. They always look good on every figure and seem to elongate the legs. I am also a fan of a midrise or low-ish rise waist. I really dislike the high rise jeans now. I used to wear Levis 501, but they aren't quite the same anymore with all the stretch. Still a good look on the back pocket/butt.
Mango jeans are so underrated. I have the best luck in there in terms of fit on the highstreet.
Some of the best jeans I ever had are from Mango sale 😊
I agree with all the jeans you highlighted to avoid. Jeans are one of the most difficult items for me to buy as they are so difficult to look really flattering. I personally prefer a classic Jean- the simpler,the better.
Honestly that is true for most (almost all?) of us. Truth is, there are so many options that are designed for a wide variety of body types combined with a tendency to be very trendy that at any given time you have to sift through a lot of denim noise. Especially if you are shopping mainstream stores.
Thank you so much for educating us with your content. You’ve saved me from impulse shopping so many times and also inspired me to find my authentic style ❤
I agree with everything you said. Unfortunately, here in the U.S. wide leg cropped slacks are coming into fashion. Just a glimpse of ankle. But I am not going there. I will just wait this one out until everyone comes to their senses and this style passes. LOL! Thank you, Lydia.
Agreed. Wide, cropped jeans everywhere. Seems to be a reaction to skinnies going out of style, as opposed to a style that can work for most bodies.
I recently tried on the barrel style jean, and I was surprised how flattering they looked on me😊 I now have a black pair and pale blue denim.
Lived in Levi's 501's in the 90's. Love, love your classy style. Thank you ❤🇦🇺
Love your hair that length. It’s so chic on you xxx
So so helpful as I clean, declutter, store, and organize my wardrobe for spring transitions. Inspired me to dive right in as I listened! Thank you!
I like your recommendations.
For my curvy body type though a paper bag waist is not a good choice. Also the 501 do not work, I prefer the ribcage.
I love today's styling tips.
Love when you recommend the best length and shoe for each style of jeans
Hi Lydia! I love your channel and your input in today’s fashion. ❤
Thank you for doing this! I didn't even know I needed it until you did it! There are so many styles out there that it gets confusing as to what you like or should like. I'm seeing a lot of the embellished and coated jeans and I'm thinking should I like these and get a pair. Just because they're selling them doesn't mean I should buy them. This video was super helpful to maintain a classic style and to narrow down what you need to add to your closet.
This was a very useful video, but it would be lovely if you could take the styles you desire and show some different ways to style them including the right shoes to wear with them. Thanks for your inspiration.
I really find this kind of video so so helpful!!!! I love it!!!! Thank you so so much 🫶
Im a big fan of Zara jeans, the range they offer is fantastic and they are so reasonably priced.
Erin Busbee had good recommendations on choosing denim albeit for 40s plus women and she agreed with no whiskering (the horizontal lines along the hips) but she explained why - extra horizontal lines, whether via whiskering or unnecessary pockets, adds a line to break up the outfit and will also make you look wider. So if you want to look sleek and give an illusion of narrower, one trick is to avoid extra horizontal lines 😉
Another trick to look for is the size, closeness, and even angle of the back pockets because they will affect how your hind end looks. Small and wide they will make you appear larger, bigger and closer together they will make you look smaller. So the pockets really matter in the back too. I avoid some Levi's because they make the back pockets so wide and it makes me look huge. Just a tip 😉
@@sandrapoulson9316thanks. It’s hard to see those on ourself!
love love this. congratulations and thanks Lydia❤
Lydia, I agree with all your choices of jeans. The only thing is do they apply to petite people like the joggers or wide leg. Most of the models shown are tall so the jeans look fine if they are long on them but what about a petite person could that make them look shorter. Thank you for all the various jean suggestions! 😊❤️
Yes definitely, I am petite also and the puddling looks absolutely ridiculous on me
I'm tall and I still havent found joggers for my 34 inch inch legs
Yes, avoid buying all those swerve styles but if they are all you own then just pair them with a classy white blouse, ballet flats and a nice pair of earrings lol 😉 😘
I have such a hard time styling my jeans thanks for this video I agree with your don’t buy list I wish you showed how to style each style jeans
Nice suggestions, but very subjective. Two-colour panel jeans elongate the legs.
I was just in zara yesterday evening up the paper bag jeans! This video is my sign to go back and buy them 😊
I can't remember when this was, but slightly cropped and loose jeans with a band of embroidered ribbon around the hem were a thing. Possibly fifteen to twenty years ago. Very limiting in what you could wear with them ( peasant blouses were big as well back then) - a very bohemian look, not for everyone.
I agree with just about everything you said except the arch/balloon jeans. I’m quite skinny and those pants make me look like I have no figure. 😮 that’s just me though. 😊
So needed! I find jeans the hardest thing to buy. To get the right length, colour and style, I end up trying on hundreds before I doin the perfect pair 😊
Extremely useful, thanks Lydia ❤ I LOVE Rose Cropped white or off white jeans from Arket 🎉 I managed to get a pair in the sale X
Yesssss, useful!! Thank you, Lydia!
The two colour jeans with the yellow tinge look like they are growing mould
Thank-you so much! Loved the shoe one and this is even better since jeans can be tricky. It would be fun to see you style your mom :)
Your Don’t Jeans was very helpful. As a 5’ petite women, the kick flare was would be the best jeans for me. Thank you.
Levi 501 forever jeans!
Thanks for what to buy! I’m always looking for good jeans. I do not agree however with the contrast stitching 🧵 I love dark blue jeans 👖 with light tan stitching , looks so classic and refined (in my opinion) 🥰
Yes, it’s been a useful video Lydia since I’ve worn about 3/4 of the jeans from your avoid list!! I could tell you about a real pair of horrors that I wore in the early noughties 😆
I’ve never worn ripped jeans though. To me they look like they’ve been run over by a lawnmower.
Thanks, Lydia. Jeans styles and trends can be confusing. Appreciate the straight forward pics and the styling pics.
Oh, lovely advice! You have a really good eye indeed. ❤Thank you, darling.
Loved this video!
Great video with good advice too
Just wanted to make you aware of poor customer service from Flattered. I will never order anything from them again.
I think it's also very crucial to mention the difference between stretch jeans vs not stretch jeans. It makes a lot of difference.
Thank you, so helpful…
The 501 is nice, but... since I discovered the Levi's Ribcage, i'm literally in love with it !!
Jeggings are for toddlers. Agree with all of this, except perhaps the always wear jeans long. TBH this does feel modern and of the moment, so I think you are correct to say it looks "cooler" to be a little puddly. But as a 5' 3" woman I find a jean that ends at the ankle can be more traditionally flattering. Although 100 agree that "cropped" jeans really only look good on a few body shapes.
I didn't really understand this, Lydia wears loads of her jeans cropped and I love the look on her??
I strive to become as polished and put together as you ☺️❤️ your videos help me a lot with styling pieces I already have and what to buy when I need new stuff
Beautiful and useful ❤thanks
I tried sooo many jeans styles over the years. The once I stuck with and are very flattering are Levi 501 in various lengths, and the arch jeans. So, no more searching for me.
I've got the really dark wash wide leg cargo jeans from M&S and I think that they're really smart and elevated. I think the dark wash and wide leg make them smart. They're quite a stiff, structured tailored cut too. And the cargo pockets just give them a moden twist. But I do think that the pockets have to be flush to the leg. I don't like the pockets that actually have a base so that they sag and bag out from the jeans.
How about the Sezane LeCrop jeans?? They are wide but cropped going in your "avoid" column. But I love them and think they are actually quite popular. Although now I am afraid I may change my mind.
Very helpful. Would like to see some show combinations with the jeans you suggest.
Thank you!
Great video! I agree with you in everything. Can you also do a video on bags and shoes to avoid? I think those can uplift your outfit or do the opposite.
Great video! Thanks!
I have never liked cropped pants. They fall terrible and look like your pants shrunk
I have the Mango kick flare jeans and love them. Love your recs!
thank you! very useful!
Love the COS arch white jeans, but...they're SO tight around the waist. Customer reviews commented as the fit to be small.
Exactly. I prefer that cut and fabric to all else. But the tiny waist courtesy kindly doctors and 17 years steroids after medically caused asthma prevents me.
Same, I find their denim such a small fit?!? I sent back the Arch jeans as they were too tight and I ordered the largest size..
Arket are the same, their biggest size in denim is a UK14...
Super helpful video! I completely agree with the avoid jeans… but I am guilty of buying the contrast stitching. Was feeling unsure about them and could not explain why 😮 I will return them after this video ahahah 😅
Great tips.. kerp em coming. Thabk u.
I love your content. I agree with everything that you mentioned that you don’t like back when they were doing jegging I would go in the men’s department.. buy Levi’s/found a couple really good ones. The best part is they actually have pockets u can put stuff in/can’t stand stretchy jeans there’s no point in my opinion
Great video!! Thank you!
Definitely try the Levi's 501...great style! I have many pairs, differing lengths and colors.
This was a much-needed video for probably everybody. Thank you so much.
You shoud try Agolde Jeans.
Super helpful.
The avoid pairs were quite obvious to me, none of them I would ever wear. I'm also planning to get 501 but don't know what lenght to go for cos I've got wider hips
Can you do a video on the length each type of jeans should have?
Completely agree with all of these points regarding jeans!!!
The back pockets are always the problem. If they don’t sit high enough they look awful!
Can we make capri's illegal?
I agree with everything! Thank you ❤ Love your style !
Love your style❤. May I ask, does the COS barrel jeans stretch as you wear them more?
The black pants and taupe top
Great video!
Great video. Couldn't agree more on the cropped length for jeans or pants and especially on the wide leg. I have yet to see anybody who really looks good in this style. Also that jegging pant was not good when it first came out and probably never will be. Ripped jeans a definite no here and looks like they are not as popular this year. I always hear "wear what you like", but sometimes we all need to step back and take a second look.
Thank you so much, dear Lydia, for the very helpful summary of the jeans styles! I just bought the 501s and they are really nice and timeless….👍🏽🥰🫶
Great video. Thank you for simplifying very confusing mix of jean styles.
Thanks for the valuable video!! When it comes to jeans I recently opt for straight leg jeans ( I can recommend jeans Lee Carol they are straight legged, high waised and they are vey similiar to the Levis 501 which I also want to get maybe in a wite or creme color). Additionally I really like wearing mom jeans I have got one pair from Topshop. I am a petite woman and I think wide leg/barrel jeand can overwhelm me. At home I like to wear leggings and I hate jeggins too. From time to time I wear skinny jeans and I have a pair of ripped jeans wioch I try to get rid of by selling them (I do not know whart forced me to buy them)
Hello, i love your vídeos, Is it possível To show the exact reference of the jeans? When we go To the Store its soo dificult To choose the right ones
I don't like those brown jeans those yo me look dirty. However, I have one pair with side pocket and I wore them with a white shirt and a belt how you suggest in your videos and I got lots of compliments on how cute they looked. But I agree we must be very careful when buying jeans..
Thank you Lydia, you are my fashion bible
Love you are from Manchester too 💖
Amazing video ❤❤❤❤ love it love it
Please make sure to try on the 501s prior to purchase ! I wore them to death when I was younger but after puberty.. NOT ! Those are better for people with no curves and they will flatten your butt 🤦♀️ they definitely have other options.. maybe the 7 somethings 🤔
Can you tell me, what Kind of Watch do you wear, It’s so nice 😍
What watch are you wearing? Looks nice!
I love the barrel jeans. Stunning design as they wee originally round 1980. I am a deep autumn with pale skin, so the all the mid to pale washed out jeans look chap, weak and pathetic on me. Same on my fah wih white hair and strong tan. Pale wash on you Lydia is soft and lovely. Please do jeans on your mum. I have medically induced asthma and had 17 years on steroids. Previously I was very slim, about your height and a 32A bra at 40 and always looked model like so everything I put on looked wonderful. So now women say I am not fat but my waist is above the standard for my medium to small hips. I bought clean black H&M Jeans straight with 4% stretch stuff so even the waistband stretches whilst a normal cut. This works but the great jeans are pure cotton.
i understand its fashion and its changing but i with this barrel and palazzo wide leg jeans would go away! i agree with all avoid items too.
Jeans are so hard to find! On me, the barrel jeans are so unflattering. I found that the best fit for me is fitted on the bum / thigh and straight leg, slightly cropped.
Patch pockets, aka cargo jeans, are very masculine. All your "avoids" are mine also--h😜🤪. The jeans with the tinge look like they were washed in rusty water. Yuck!
I have always liked Levi's 501 jeans too. If you look close, they can remind you of Mom Jeans, with the tapered leg which I like. Interesting how Mom Jeans where not so hot a while back and now they seem to be making a come back in some form with other jean styles. I still like jeggings because they look great to me with boots and booties.
I like classic tan/orange stitching, but I watch out for overly contrasty whiskering on the hip area and too bright buttons (copper, bright silver, etc.) also in denim jackets, as they're a bit like jewellery and can make an outfit look too busy
I cant believe my no1 styling guru (you) have not got any 501s. 😱. I love the 724. Just because the button fly on 501 can be troublesome if you get a sudden urge. 😳 i agree with all the avoids. They are totally minging.
How about a video on styling cropped jackets.
Hi Lydia, would it be possible that you can do a video of styling jeans with boots? Been styling skinny/slim jeans with boots all my life and having a hard time to do it with straight/wide legs/etc... sometimes I would wonder does it even work? love this episode, by the way. Thank you!
thank you very much, Lydia for a very nice and useful video! I would advise against Levi´s 501 jeans though. I owned 2 pairs of them and the quliaty isn´t really good for the price tag. For me personally Mango and Zara jeans have almost the same quality but cost less. I also recently purchased the jeans from &Other Stories and they look so chic and expensive. Really good quality! I would opt for &Other Stories, Arket, COS jeans instead of Levi´s. The price is alsmost the same but the quality is far more better 🙂
I say the same thing to my boys as your grandfather, paying for ripped jeans feels like paying for trash. I told them go to good will and get cheap ones and rip them yourself!
