    Hi, Serena!
    I’m Marie from New York, and I am 61. I like to dress classy, my younger colleagues at work call me a “fashion icon”, and I always try to dress appropriately in order to hide some problems which I have now after gaining some weight, especially around my belly.
    This is the first video of yours I have watched, and I subscribed right away! This video is very informative, thank you for that!
    How to buy jeans was always a mystery for me, I didn’t know how to approach it with my Apple/Pear shape, except than to come to a store (my favorite Gap or BR) and ask a sales rep there to find for me “something which fits”. 😉
    So far I was able to find at least one pair of jeans which would conceal my extra weight around the belly without looking ridiculous. But I thought that since now on I have no choice but to cover my disappearing waist with a loose top, and I stopped wearing my blouse tucked, being aware of my belly…
    This video gave me hope: I didn’t know there are some type a of jeans which can help to hide your belly… Good to know! Also this was a great advice: to set up a camera and to look at yourself 360 degrees, I would like to try that. And the most important thing is that it was good to learn what type of jeans fit your body shape, although just intuitively I would normally choose a high rise, slim fit (not skinny type- thank you for explaining the difference!) or boot cut jeans, and I also like cropped jeans, because I am tall enough: 5’6”, and the cropped jeans look good on me. But it’s nice to have a “science” behind that intuition, and maybe now I’ll be able to properly order jeans on line, because whenever I ordered them online before, they never fit me, and I was sending them back…
    BTW, I don’t think that wide jeans look good on anyone unless you are very tall and very skinny. They make you look wide and shapeless, especially if you’re a little overweight or short. I know wide jeans are in trend, but no… They don’t look classy at all in my opinion.

    Thank you for being so specific about what part of your foot or ankle the pant bottom should touch for different types of shoes. I also didn’t know about the zipper length issue. Now it makes more sense why cheaper jeans typically don’t fit as well as more expensive jeans. I really enjoyed this content

    Wow! I learned so much! Thanks for your work on this video. No one has ever explained so much about jeans and I've worked with a lot of sales people in my life time. You really helped me know what to look for when shopping for jeans. I've never seen so many different types of jeans as what are available now a days. So many different names, thanks for breaking it all down.

    Wow can't thank you enough for this vlog. Been clearing out wardrobe. Seven pairs of jeans heading for charity shops. Mainly because they no longer fit & had decided that at 76 I shouldn't be wearing them anyway. Someone will be getting some hardly worn high end jeans from the op shop so at least not totally a waste. Am now going to buy one pair using your guidelines. To wear with my fav white linen shirt - scarf - leather loafers & tan trench coat. Am so going to take pics of myself on phone as suggested & note carefully the guidelines you mention. Thank you so much for all that hard work & purchasing on our behalf. Only issue now for me is finding those brand names here in Australia.

    First time viewer. I subscribed.
    I found your "class" to be very informative.
    I thought you might be interested to know that in 1977-78, I was an assistant manager in a "designer " jean store called Reunion.
    At that time the jeans were expensive at about $30 to $100+! I have 6 pair hanging in my closet that I have intended to pass down or sell... I was 5'4" and weighed about 105 at the most!
    Back then it was THE place to buy upscale jeans... Bill Blass, Pentimento, Faded Glory, Chemin de Fur as well as Levi's, etc...
    I checked and the zippers are all long! 😂 all 100% cotton... with lots of detail... some with contrasting top-stitching and/or rivets... mostly "wide-legged"or "bell bottoms."
    Now that I'm a rectangle with no defined waist at 130 lbs and about 5'3... they don't go over my hips!😂
    I don't wear jeans that much now, but I find Gloria Vanderbilt, Amanda line, to be well-made for the mature figure...😅
    I so enjoyed your video and look forward to more fashion tips and stylings...❤😊

    Thank you, this was VERY helpful! I used to be able to just go and buy jeans like it was nothing. But as I'm now older, and my body has um..."shifted," (plus a few lbs) finding good jeans that actually fit and are comfortable, is becoming harder. I found my favorite style of jeans at of all places, Walmart! They have a LARGE selection of jeans (it just takes some picking through) that are brand name (Levi's & Lee are 2), they're stretchy and very comfortable. Several times I have also found amazing bargains in the clearance racks too. You don't need to spent a lot to look good!

    Thank you! This was so helpful! I've always struggled with finding comfortable jeans. I'm a thrift store girl and have never been able to bring myself to spend that much money on a pair of jeans. But, the investment remark makes good sense. Though it's still hard for me to take the leap! lol! I've had good luck with the Buffalo David Bitton jeans which I have been able to find in thrift shops. They're comfortable on me. I think I'm an apple shape. I'm a size 8-10 waste and a size 6-8 hip area- depending on how they run. And thin legs. It's frustrating. You've inspired me and I"m looking forward to giving some of your picks a try. Off the Outlet Mall I go! I'll start there... Much appreciated! I just subscribed.

    I almost did not click on the video because of the length but you were really detailed and I’m now a subscriber! One suggestion and it is intended to be constructive criticism, I’m always interested in knowing the fabric content, particularly 100% cotton or the percentage of elastane or spandex because it effects the longevity of the pants. Example here I own two pairs of Eddie Bauer straight leg 100% percent cotton that I have owned and worn for literally thirty years. Keep up the good work!

    Thank you so much for your guidance on the subject of jeans. When my husband passed away, I lost 68 pounds. I went from a size 12 to a size 6 very quickly. At the time, the only jeans that I could find that fit me appropriately were skinny jeans. So now I have like 8 pairs of skinny jeans in my closet.
    Between this video and the video you did on frumpy clothing and jean length, I now have a better understanding of what looks good and more classy. I went from a large hourglass figure to a more athletic or rectangular figure.
    But, the age thing really does figure into how to look polished at a more mature station in life. Thank you again.

    I watched this video a couple of times to understand why I never have been able to find a pair of jeans that looked decent on me ...because I was simply looking at the wrong stuff !! I didn't know what to look for my body type. I have always had issues with camel toe in all leggings pants etc. And now after birth of two kids I also have a small pooch that depending on the time of the month can look very pronounced.
    I am sad that none of the jeans u suggest and wore in the video are available in Germany. But I have learnt now what to look for exactly so packed with that knowledge I am hoping to give jeans shopping another go.

    Schooled... in a good way. I've never bought jeans at Walmart, Target, etc because they used to never have petite sizes. Never aware of that short zipper thing. Your demo in this video shows how spot on you are about a short zipper. Before "petite" sizes came out -- used to just get my Levis hemmed. Now that petite sizes are more prevalent--- it's been Gap and Loft. Will have to check out JCrew. Bootcut may have gone out of style over the decades but never left my closet :)
