Denim that fits my thin thighs. Jeans often give the unfortunate effect of empty pouches on the thighs and saggy appearance where the thighs meet the butt
I’m a baby boomer who fell in love w/Levi’s 501 back when you had to soften them yourself. No lie…I had to buy them about 2 sizes too big, and sit in a bathtub full of hot water, and let the jeans shrink and mold to my shape. Then, I had to keep them on until they dried. The worst part was how blue the bath water turned. It was a chore to get them right, but when I pulled them on they felt like the were made just for me. I’ve never had a pair fit me like that since.
I'm starting to become a jeans collector too after realizing I have been wearing the wrong inseam and rise my whole life - shortie petite with a longer rise!. Amazing how stunning jeans are that fit!
Great video, Christina! I grew up in the 70s and Levi's 501s were what all the cool kids wore, but I had a JoLo body and there was no way Levi's or any other jeans were going to fit me. A couple years ago with the rise of the Ribcage jeans I was able to wear my first pair of Levi's that actually look like the ones everyone but me had in high school - and at 62 I feel like a cool kid! 👖
62yr old here also! I loved my 501’s but now have a different body shape. I’m still slim but the waist is a little bigger. I’m not a fan of the button fly at this age either. Maybe I should try again with the correct measurements.
i love content like this coming from yoy because it comes from an intentional minimalism-ish perspective. i have been growing my wardrobe but i dont want to just buy whatever there is. please more content like this!!!
1990's 501 jeans were the best jeans ever!!! I wore these exclusively for years until they changed the fabric and fit.Very happy to see 100% cotton jeans again. My rule is no more than 1-2% for elastane content. Anything higher I will not buy. I hate hate jeans with stretch. They look good for a few hours and then lose their shape. They don't hold your tummy in and wear out very fast. Getting back into denim again now that cotton is coming back and I can actually buy jeans again after many years of only being able to buy stretchy jeans. Right now, I am loving Mango jeans (99% cotton). They are the best fitting, most comfortable jeans I have bought in many years. Good price point at $69.99 CAD.
Christina!! Omg I think this is one of the most helpful videos you’ve ever made! You know so much about denim and this honestly feels like the ultimate guide - especially when it comes to shopping for denim online. Saving this one for future reference! ✅ ✅
I think the 501's are the best in your collection. You can't go wrong with a classic 501. I keep losing weight and buying 2 pairs of jeans each time I go down. I like Levi's high rise 724, think they're called. I also like classic boot cuts and straight leg with slight stretch. I'm not a fan of distressed jeans and I normally repair the holes with flannel patches. I also like men's 550's when I want full depth pockets and relaxed fit. I found some Lucky mid rise boot cut at Marshalls that are one of my favorites too. I've bought multiple 7 for all mankind boot cut and NYDJ Marilyn jeans and they are decent. TFS
I have quite a few Levi's from the 90s on up to my newest ribcage I bought this year. Its hard for me to pick a favorite though. Levi's are my obsession.They are so comfortable,and never go out of style. Thanks for sharing
My favorite jeans are Levi’s selvedge denim! Something about cuffing them up and seeing that classic edge just makes me happy. My favorite cuts are the 501 and the 701. My recent additions are the 1970’s slim straight and the flare. And yes, sizing can be a pain. I always buy two sizes and return one.
Thank you for sharing. I'm 52 and have a 32" inseam, short waist and wear a size 3 Jr jeans. I haven't found good options for my age. Low rise are most comfortable with fitted in the waist and butt, relaxed in the legs and straight leg or boot cut.
I have the Wedgie and the Ribcage and I love them. I’m 5’3” normally 26” waist, size up in the wedgie for a more comfortable fit and size down if your ribcage pair had a poly blend. My ribcage is light wash and it’s literally my favorite pair ever, so comfy.
Ah, another jeans lover! My favorites are definitely Levi's 501s, but I recently discovered Pull & Bear and Stradivarius from Asos, and they are super flattering as well.
hip measurements are really important too for vintage denim for those of us with wider hips and thighs...in fact that's become the most important measurement for me. It's ok if the waist is a little big, but if the hips are too tight, then you can't sit down. And a lot of vintage Levi's (esp 517s) run slim in the hip because they were originally made for men.
Girl, I'm 63 and still wearing my Levi's! I thrift for jeans, and even buy Levi's that are too large as I sew and take them apart and custom alter them. My favorite has always been 550 men's jeans because I have thick thighs.
As an hourglass, I struggle so much with jeans. I have taken the waist in on many, but it's not even worth the trouble since they're not my most worn items. However, I am always listening for curvy testimonials on jeans.
You should try Abercrombie & Fitch curve love jeans. I carry weight in my butt and thighs and I was surprised how much give the denim had even though it was 100% cotton.
Being pear-shaped, I understand where you are coming from. I haven’t worn jeans in years because either the cut is wrong or they are uncomfortable. I do however still enjoy watching videos such as this one.
I have huge hip bones and my butt is big but not super big so jeans without any stretch never work. They’re either 5 inches too small to button or they fit the waist but the froth has is baggy and it looks terrible. I just wear skirts or 1% stretch jeans (anymore looks bad on the butt and cheap) from Target because I can try on all the different rises. I wish I could buy second hand
@@Lily-uv9uu It’s hard! I exclusively thrift, so if I can't find it at my local thriftstore I go to ebay or poshmark, but I have ordered jeans that didn't work out!
Ikr - im also an hourglass and i just buy the size that fits my butt and then take them in. Or go for mom jeans, those weirdly fit my hips and waist most of the time
super informative! I'm currently shopping for a perfect pair of cropped straight leg jeans and have laid my eyes on the levi's 501 in cropped length. I tried two sizes in store and just couldn't decide - the bigger size sits perfectly right now but the sales associate was saying as these are 100% cotton it won't look as good after a few hours of wear so I should go with the smaller of the two sizes. I ended up buying the smaller ones and having tried them home now (tags are still on) I now feel like I should've gone with the bigger size as I am afraid they will shrink after the first wash (they are already as tight as I can bear them to be without being in pain lol). What is you experience when it comes to brand new 100% cotton 501-es? Will they actually loosen up as much as the SA was saying? Greately appreciated!
I didn't think this video would teach me anything but it did, you're a God send and I'm ready to turn my life of poor quality around. Women's modern fashion is too much for me; most jeans are baggy, skinny, or distressed, and I can never find a classy simple straight legged jeans that I like--that is to say I don't have a single good pair of jeans currently or ever. It's the first time I'm seeing and hearing about vintage denim, huzzah
Currently looking for comfortable yet flattering jeans (high wasted, straight leg). Staying away from the jegging jean look as I just don’t feel they fit my style anymore. This video has been extremely helpful and right on time as I have been struggling to find a nice comfortable pair of jeans. Thank you so much!! Big fan of your content this video has been especially helpful! Take care 😊
👖 Loved this! Thanks!! I used to wear 501 Levis when I was in high school, then everything changed with Levis. They aren't made the same. Still looking for the perfect jeans for me. I like a midrise bootcut.
I actually think the trick of putting your jeans around your neck to see if it fits really outdated, because it does not account for your body type below the waist.
Yes very true! Thank you for pointing that out! I think it’s prob just a helpful starting point, esp if you’re thrifting in person and there’s no fitting rooms ❤
Great video! I have about 50 pairs of jeans. Levi’s 501 are definitely one of my favorites. I also enjoy wearing Hudson, True Religion, and 7 for Allmankind. ❤️
Super helpful video! I live in Germany so to my fellow Europeans I 'd like to recommend Monki jeans (not fairly produced, but you can easily find them second hand and they have super nice 90s fits) as well as armedangels jeans (fairly produced). xx
Hey!! Ich habe zufällig monki Jeans entdeckt. Zb die Yoko (high waist und wide Leg). Ich wollte dich fragen, ob die sich bei dir weiten am bund und generell? Die sind ja aus 100% Baumwolle und ich bin zwischen zwei größen.. weiß nicht ob ich die nehmen soll, die schon enger ist oder die, die lockerer sitzt.
I hate buying jeans. So hard to get a good fit. However invested in a pair of Agolde and it’s true…there’s the before time and after time. Love the feel of the denim. And the cost per wear just keeps going down.
Amazing video! I find your denim fits you perfectly. Having a pear shaped body, very different from your athletic build, I wish I could find a creator with my body shape for tips on best denim!
Before you even asked, I was going to say: OK I NEED a complete deep dive on the jeans collection. I feel like I’m finally in a place where I can be more intentional with my denim instead of just buying AE, and I’m a total denim lover. Love your style and trust your recco’s!!!!
Loved seeing this video since my body shape is similar to yours so it was great to see how the jeans fitted on you.👖 Every pair of jeans in this video was a good find!
Same ! Similar body shape here & I totally resonate with Christine's style !! I always loved blazers & jeans… except Christine actually knows what she's doing haha ! So I’m learning.
My favorite is actually from Old Navy, but it's been pilling quite a bit lately, which I've never heard of jeans doing. Probably because of how much I've worn it 😂
I stopped wearing jeans in 2011 and I've gotten rid of all my low-waist skinny Levi's. I decided to wear high-waist trousers because I find them lighter, chic and more comfortable. 14 years later, now in 2024, I'm back on wearing jeans again, especially Levi's, I believe the brand is the epitome of jeans and they're a classic. I always prefer the high-waist, boot-cut, wide-leg, and straight leg fits! ❤
Back then a lot of men's brand-name jeans were made a lot better than women's clothes.....and mens-wear denim fabric was much sturdier than the fabrics they used for women's clothing. Bell-Bottoms were so darned c-o-o-l back then........never liked the polyester phase that followed though!!!! 😅
Great collection ❤ I am also big fan of Levis 501. I live in Australia, so naturally my favourite jeans brands are Ksubi and Neuw. They are premium quality, and the cut is very good for my petite frame.
I find the Levi's Ribcage flattering. I have 3 pair, one dark, one light and one gray. They are all different feeling although the tag says they are the same material. Odd, but I love them all. I'm 29/30 inseam but the Ribcage are 27 and it's so flattering and modern.
Yup....wash in cold water....spin .... line dry only........your jeans will last forever. Dryer heat is death to fabrics....and Mother Nature does it the best: FOR FREE!!!! 😊
Awesome video - so informative! Need your advice.... I'm replacing my current denim with 100% cotton or (98/99%) and just bought several Levis 501s - I bought 26 and 27 in the Wedgie. and also skinny (which I think is actually more slim). I can button the 26s but they're snug - fine when I walk, tight when I sit; 27s are more comfortable and fit now with slight room - but am concerned about them stretching too much. When I wash .... I use cold water and hang dry. How much will the 100% cotton stretch and what happens when I wash in cold/air dry. Keep the 26s or 27s?
I gave up my cult classic 501s but somewhere regret it. I found the microseconds to be too low for my long torso. However I just discovered the wedgie and I LOVE it
@@Christinamychas weekday are swedish! they’re more commonly known in canada/the us under their cheap monday label, which was discontinued a few years ago.
i think you should look into TCB denim. they do reproduction of the vintage 501. not 100 percent sure if they do a women's denim though worth checking.
Ahh I wish I had the body for these jeans. I’m built more like my dad. Bigger belly, no butt, no hips. So I tend to wear low rise straight leg jeans because they don’t cut into my stomach. I’ve always had the best luck with American Eagle because they’re usually cut straight through the hip which fits me best. They do carry curvy cuts for those who are. :)
The issue with shopping for new jeans online is you don't have access to the measurements but usually just the brand size chart which usually comes with the qualification that "this is a guide only" etc. Buying used or vintage most sellers will provide the very useful measurements of the individual pair of jeans waist, hips, inside leg etc.
Salutări din România! Foarte utile informațiile😊 Ai putea te rog să faci un tutorialul cum îți împachetezi blugii și depozitarea lor în dulap. Și eu sunt de asemenea o mare colectionară de blugi, mai ales vintage😊
Hey! Christina you are my favourite youtuber and I love your vlogs so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 200K Subscribers very very soon!✨❤️☺️
For anyone reading this, I highly recommend brands like Naked and Famous (Through Tate and Yoko), Unbranded Brand, Warehouse, TCB, Full Count, Tanuk, Freenote Cloth, Bravestari etc... as alternatives to typical higher end denim brands. Haven't been let down yet. Not all of them offer cuts specifically for Women so you'll have to judge how a mens fit may work for you, but some definitely do Womens offerings such as Naked and Famous if you want to be safe. Some of these brands prices vary wildly by site, so it's worth hunting around to find a seller that can give you a good deal like Denimio/Hinoya who specialize in Japanese brands.
I could never wear 501’s. I think my legs were too chunky. I wore wranglers as a kid. And having horses, it meant I was always in jeans. My favorites for a while were Jag Foster Flare. And I still like them. But since discovering Agolde 90’s mid rise loose fit, that’s what I wear. The problem with buying jeans is that they vary so much pair to pair, even the same size and style. I think that most jeans are still cut in a pile.
I love collecting denim too… I do like Levi’s and Agolde but Citizens of Humanity have me in a choke hold lol… they fit so well for me I have them in skinny, trouser cut , wide leg, fitted bell bottoms… I try to find them like new on re sale sites when I can but often I’ll just cough up for them. I find I do get a ton of wear and never regret the purchase.
What do you look for in a perfect pair of jeans?
I love it when the thighs are big enough for me to pull the jeans ALLthe way up above my hips. Can’t stand it when the crotch of my jeans sags down!!
A flattering fit on the booty - high rise
High waisted bootcut. Dark wash. Levi’s
Denim that fits my thin thighs. Jeans often give the unfortunate effect of empty pouches on the thighs and saggy appearance where the thighs meet the butt
So agree with the elastane part. That’s why I always buy 100% cotton.
I’m a baby boomer who fell in love w/Levi’s 501 back when you had to soften them yourself.

Wow ! I never heard of that & I’m a 70 ‘s teen !
I’m a 70s teen..how did I miss this? I guess because I was really tiny….🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Yes! I remember… and I waited to hem them because they would shrink in length. I hate stretchy jeans.
I hate stretchy ones too.

Me too at 58 and I still have my Levi's 501 from way back then though along the way they were turned into shorts. 😊

70-80's. We wore men's Levi's in high school, but ripped the size patch off. Because we never wanted anyone to know what size we wore.
Back then a lot of men's brand-name jeans were made a lot better than women's clothes.....and mens-wear denim fabric was much sturdier than the fabrics they used for women's clothing.

Yup....wash in cold water....spin .... line dry only........your jeans will last forever. Dryer heat is death to fabrics....and Mother Nature does it the best:
FOR FREE!!!! 😊
Hi Christina, thank you for this video! This was so informative and helpful. Jeans are the best!
Very informative Christina, keeping this handy for future shopping 🛒
Love this video!! My first!! with you! I need all the help you gave!! Thank you!
So glad it helped!!
Also seconding the Everlane recommendation, particularly their cheeky jeans - great quality and fit!
Levi’s 70’s High Slim Straight is absolute perfection!!!
I have a pair of jeans from Gap and love them, they’re my favorite ❤️ Great video!
Awesome video - so informative! Need your advice.... I'm replacing my current denim with 100% cotton or (98/99%) and just bought several Levis 501s - I bought 26 and 27 in the Wedgie. and also skinny (which I think is actually more slim). I can button the 26s but they're snug - fine when I walk, tight when I sit; 27s are more comfortable and fit now with slight room - but am concerned about them stretching too much. When I wash .... I use cold water and hang dry. How much will the 100% cotton stretch and what happens when I wash in cold/air dry. Keep the 26s or 27s?
Guess Escondido ! Fit me perfectly!
This was so informative and helpful! Thank you so much Christina :)
I gave up my cult classic 501s but somewhere regret it. I found the microseconds to be too low for my long torso. However I just discovered the wedgie and I LOVE it
I love your videos! for us short curvy girls non of the vintage jeans look good so a little sad
I love your style! Thanks for the inspiration
Hahaha excellent "that's what she said" moment!
Hahah I walked right into it 😂
Another amazing jeans are the voyage, lash and rowe cuts from Weekday. Fabulous!
I’ve heard this! Are they a UK brand?
@@Christinamychas good question 😄 they are from HM group and are known for good denim. Their voyage cut beats Levis Ribcage easily for me.
@@Christinamychas weekday are swedish! they’re more commonly known in canada/the us under their cheap monday label, which was discontinued a few years ago.
Hi Christina...i love your channel especially your minimalism videos. You're amazing! Thanks for this video. Hugs from Italy 🤗🤍👖
Super helpful! Thank you!!!
Jeans! We would like to see your jeans collection yes yes and yes!
Your vintage 501’s are my favourite :)
Me too 💙
Hi Christina, just bought a pair of 501s that I couldn’t never afford first time round. How would you style them?
Awesome video, Christina ❤️
Great info!! I love your videos!
I have to have a white pair too. Love!!
Great Video t u I love Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans soooo comfy!
Yes to denim collection 👖☺️
i think you should look into TCB denim. they do reproduction of the vintage 501. not 100 percent sure if they do a women's denim though worth checking.
Ahh I wish I had the body for these jeans. I’m built more like my dad. Bigger belly, no butt, no hips. So I tend to wear low rise straight leg jeans because they don’t cut into my stomach. I’ve always had the best luck with American Eagle because they’re usually cut straight through the hip which fits me best. They do carry curvy cuts for those who are. :)
Great video and tips! I only have 2 pairs of jeans but I am definitely looking for some more. The everlane cheeky jeans look so cute!
The issue with shopping for new jeans online is you don't have access to the measurements but usually just the brand size chart which usually comes with the qualification that "this is a guide only" etc. Buying used or vintage most sellers will provide the very useful measurements of the individual pair of jeans waist, hips, inside leg etc.
👖 Love this!!! I have been loving B Side Jeans lately.
great video 👍 and yes updated jean collection pleasssse
I’m really surprised by the amount of useful information.
Thank you!
try on some of the osaka 5 jeans and some repro jeans that has amazing fit
Salutări din România!
Foarte utile informațiile😊
Ai putea te rog să faci un tutorialul cum îți împachetezi blugii și depozitarea lor în dulap. Și eu sunt de asemenea o mare colectionară de blugi, mai ales vintage😊
👖 Would love to also hear your thoughts on how to take care of the jeans on another video! Thanks!
Fun! Thank you for the idea!
vintage levis are the best fitted denim ever made, for women or for men, in my case the mens 501
I’m obsessed with denim too 😄
Hey! Christina you are my favourite youtuber and I love your vlogs so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 200K Subscribers very very soon!✨❤️☺️
Thank you so much, Mansoor! ❤
For anyone reading this, I highly recommend brands like Naked and Famous (Through Tate and Yoko), Unbranded Brand, Warehouse, TCB, Full Count, Tanuk, Freenote Cloth, Bravestari etc... as alternatives to typical higher end denim brands. Haven't been let down yet. Not all of them offer cuts specifically for Women so you'll have to judge how a mens fit may work for you, but some definitely do Womens offerings such as Naked and Famous if you want to be safe.
Some of these brands prices vary wildly by site, so it's worth hunting around to find a seller that can give you a good deal like Denimio/Hinoya who specialize in Japanese brands.
I’m also a Jean lover and I must have a good pair of white jeans and also a dark wash added to your Jean essentials 🙂
Ohhh yes white denim is so nice! 🤍
@@Christinamychas Yes!! But my light wash are probably my most worn. Ugh I love jeans 😍
Good white jeans are sooo hard to find. I'm limping by with some mid rise cropped skinnies that slip down. Any recs?
@@jacquelinea8224 my Levi 721 skinny ankle jeans are *chefs kiss*
@@Outrageous86 I will look into them. Thanks!!
I would love to see a denim collection! 👖
Great video, many greetings from Greece 🌴
This was literally right on time.
Great tips! Thank you!
Levi's sells vintage and second hand jeans right on their own site now
Great information, thanks.👖
I could never wear 501’s. I think my legs were too chunky. I wore wranglers as a kid. And having horses, it meant I was always in jeans.
My favorites for a while were Jag Foster Flare. And I still like them. But since discovering Agolde 90’s mid rise loose fit, that’s what I wear.
The problem with buying jeans is that they vary so much pair to pair, even the same size and style. I think that most jeans are still cut in a pile.
This video is perfect timing for my search for a new pair of jeans 😁 my question is...what about new 501s? I was looking to try the Levi 501 skinny
I’m def a snob for vintage myself! Haha 😅
Yup, my new 501s just came in the mail and let's just say my search for the perfect pair of jeans continues 🤣
I love collecting denim too… I do like Levi’s and Agolde but Citizens of Humanity have me in a choke hold lol… they fit so well for me I have them in skinny, trouser cut , wide leg, fitted bell bottoms… I try to find them like new on re sale sites when I can but often I’ll just cough up for them. I find I do get a ton of wear and never regret the purchase.
Also 👖! We want to see the full collection
My favorite jeans have always been Levi's 👖
Great video!!
Helpful, too, when searching for the best fit. 👖👖👖👖👖
I love jeans, too.
