Styling Vintage Straight Leg Levis 10 Ways

- Ciao everyone! Today I am styling a pair of straight leg mid-rise vintage levis 10 ways. These looks are not ground-breaking but I am changing proportions and accessories to get more use out of the clothes I already have. I used closet staples to make new outfits out of old clothes - this is a great way to work with a capsule closet, stop impulse shopping, and use creativity instead of consumption!

OMG A WHOLE VIDEO DEDICATED TO MY OLD JEANS! They’re the gift that keeps on giving 😍😍😍
This is proof that none of us would need more than one well-fitted pair of jeans if we had your styling skills!
This is also proof she looks great in anything.
This is very kind!
...and your body! 😁
Sorry I just read what @kathleenp3135 wrote😊
I like it when you style up one item several different ways. I also find it very helpful when you explain why something does or does not work. Thanks for all your hard work bringing these videos to us. 🥰
Thank you for watching ❤
That cannoli t-shirt wins at life. 🏆
Also, don't alter the jeans; alter your mindset. They look great on you. If it really makes that big of a difference, try a micro-cuff.
In comparison, jeans that *don't* cover my ankles annoy the living Hell out of me because my legs are long and I absolutely despise the proportions of anything cropped. If I wanted clam diggers, I'd have become a fisherman, LOL!
I'm 100% on your team Melody! Agree that full-length jeans or pants make long legs look even better. Cropped or shorter chop people off.
Agree. I'm not a fan of jeans cut above the ankle bone, on me or usually other people. I do occasionally roll the hem up an inch and a smidge, but I wouldn't buy them shorter on purpose.
I won’t be hemming them - I love this!!
Growing up I always had trouble finding jeans long enough. High waters were the bane of my teenage existence. Very occasionally I will wear ankle length jeans cuffed - beach or very casual wear only. At the age of 68 I’m still in that camp. Hate cropped pants. They’ll always be high waters to me, no matter what the current trend or my age. Full length pants - straight leg jeans especially - are my go to jeans.
@@llm5726 I bet you look like a million bucks in them!
Loved the looks in his video! Like the longer length of these Levi’s. I think,they look dressier and they make your legs look longer. Great ideas.
Yes! After watching I’ll be keeping them long!
Wearing tall boots with jeans is why I kept and ordered more skinny jeans. Tall boots and skinny jeans look smoother. Excellent video. 😊
Yes! More versatility!
Agree on the skinnies, but they didn’t look bad. What was more telling is that you looked uncomfortable with it. That said, I loved the jeans tucked into the motor for a faux jogger vibe.
You really rock those jeans! But do NOT alter them! I think they are fab just the way they are! In Canada showing ankle in the winter does not sound smart… Great video with lots of ideas. Inpirational as always 👌
Thank you!! Definitely not altering!
So good! I personally love the length of them on you. It's giving all the 90s vibes and I am here for it ❤ Oh! And I think the faux fur vest would look amazing over the black flowy top look and over your cream turtleneck sweater + pleated maxi skirt or wide leg trousers 🔥🔥🔥
Ooooh thanks Lia! I likely will not be hemming them ! ❤
I liked the black jean with the stacked heel boot you wore for several looks. It looked seamless on the bottom half and flattering
Yes! They were a fave!
I have high waisted blue straight leg levis that I am now going to play with. I do find cuffing them with flats works pretty well
Always informative and well packed with inspo and ideas!!! You're one of the fashion people i can never unsubscribe from! Perfect!
Wow thank you for the high praise!
Thank you, Alyssa! Love how you just get straight into the looks and don’t do much describing, it actually makes the elements of style far easier to see and take in.
So good to know!
Great video Alyssa! I do have to say that I like it when you talk us through a given look to explain why it works or not. Makes it easier to apply things to my closet!
Ah good to know thank you!
For further inspiration, I love wearing this style and length of jeans with flat, slightly pointed ankle boots, ideally in the same colour as the jeans. Sometimes I do a mini cuff, but mostly not.
Thanks for all the great content you have been creating.
Yes! A pointed toe boot would be great with these!
Midrise looks perfect on you. Please don't turn them into shorts like you did the boyfriend cut you bought overseas lol😉. That length and shape is boot underneath every time and you rocked it.
Very helpful video, Alyssa. I love the ideas for a similar pair of black jeans I have. More like this please!
So glad you liked it!
I bought some midrise jeans QUITE BY ACCIDENT the other day. Decided to try them on anyway, fully expecting to return them, but they’re FABULOUS! They fit perfectly! Who knew????
Yay! Have fun styling them!
Everything looks fabulous on you!
Cuffing with a loafer might be cute too. I agree hemming a little bit might help. The best look was probably the lower boots...which hides the length 😏
Your best Jean! . These look fabulous on you. Great styling of course. Do NOT shorten them! Not saying more. Lol. Luv ❤️🇨🇦❤️
I'm a sweater person. I knit my sweaters. I would love you to do this with one sweater. This was inspiring
Happily! ❤
I have a black striped cardigan. I haven’t reached for it at all since my sister gave it to me from her closet. I put it with a black T-shirt and a pair of straight like black casual slacks. Thanks for the inspiration to shop my closet!
Yayyy❤
I'm new to your channel and really appreciate your style sense. Just a wee wish that I was slim and young again...but, happy to be who I am. Can always adapt!
I forgot how cool Levis were. 😊
Love all the outfits! Great combinations 😊
Great I wear jeans alot. You have helped me a alot with packing for travel. I'm going to Paris December 21st so your tips on winter travel help alot.
I fell in love with look Nr 5😍
Thank you so much for the inspiration🤗
Love the Levi's. Still own a few pairs. Cherish the fit. 🎉
Hi Alyssa. If ever a video proved the rationale of wardrobe-shopping, this is it! Well done! Slow fashion should be everyone's agenda.
Awesome! I was so glad to see you did one of these videos as I really have enjoyed the past ones. :) The only thing missing was your fun dancing (there was a little bit but not as much as others and I really enjoy the playfulness it brings!). Thanks again for all that you do! :)
Ahh noted! Didn’t have the best dancing music on this time!
So timely, Alyssa, as I bought a pair of midrise vintage straight leg jeans recently, and the proportions look off to me with low heels. I agree that just a smidge off the hem to hit on the sweet spot of the ankle makes a world of difference, especially as I'm only 155cm tall. Thank you for confirming my initial impression 😅❤
So glad you found it helpful!
501s buttonfly used to be my faves! 😂
The striped sweater and graphic tee were my favorites. Try platform chucks or doc martins. And let it be slouchy like a trouser at the top of the flatter shoe.
They look best when paired with high heels. 🎉
#1 Coats - I had to go back twice to see those cool tan boots. My eyes were fixed on that gorgeous dark red jacket. #6 and #10 slouch yes, Yes, YES!!!
3,5,7,9,and 10 were my favorite Alissa 😍 awesome demonstrations 😊
Thank you for watching!
OMG, I wore 505s in the 80'S. A group of us wore nothing but the 505 red tag Levi's. We would buy them rigged and unwashed. Once washed a few times, they'd shrink and fit us like no other pair of jeans. Love them. Thank u for doing this video.
Thanks Alyssa,I always find inspiration from your videos.
Just love this episode!
Love the longer pant. Short pants make me feel like I am still 12 and growing too fast for my clothes. The looks are right on so I think the problem is you haven’t let yourself step away from ‘current trends’ to see the value of the looks you created. Hope you decide to leave them be. Just sayin’ 😉
I am no. 4 in 2weeks time! thanks for this!
Also, since everything you teach is about less is more. This should also be the scenario with how much you speak because this video was priceless! Good job.
So on time! I dyed a pair of vintage grey straight Levi's deep black an ran out of styling ideas!! Thanks a lot ❤
I love it when you style one piece many ways. My favorite was look #6. - Michelle
First, they look fabulous on you. Second, I have been wearing vintage denim all my life because next birthday is 70, eek. Being 5'1" I have almost always had to shorten my jeans or they would no way work. Have made many bags and purses with the off cuts. The trick is to preserve the original hem. For this you need a good tailor or a great you tube video. Never be dominated by your clothes. You are such a beauty, you rule your style well. 🌺🌼🏵
Really watching your footwear. I am sure I have a pair of those somewhere.... Clever Alyssa!!! I do like the preppy beige sweater and white shirt.... And the city #1....best! Thank you! Xo joanne
yep - 5, 7 and 10 with the black shirt :)
yaaaaaaaaay! Love this type of content from you.
I know these jeans are a bit out of your comfort zone, but you look amazingly chic! If we ever needed proof that straight leg is the most enlongating, this is our proof and highrise would be even more so. Add sleek black footwear and a dark top or your gorgeous long sleeve stripped off the shoulder and a camel jacket or coat. And... Voila! A look that would look fabulous anywhere. I love this format, more please!
This vid is so timely for me right now. I just ordered a pair of classic levi 501’s .
Thanks for the great inspirations and I would love to find a black pair of denim that give me a look that I would want to style. You gave a great inspiring look for my navy emboss coat dress for layering because I have not had a chance to wear it because it's not warm enough during the winter and the layering underneath with a wool blazer or denim jacket might work. Thanks for sharing and ta ta for now.
love the content! ... it would be great to see how to style a vintage shearling vintage coat for winter!
Lovd and saved ❤️ I started a capsule for the week, you just gave me so many fantastic ideas to tweak it! Tonight we’re going to a book signing with our favorite Canadian rock star- Geddy Lee 🙌🏻 I’m going to try the beige and burgundy inspiration in look 1- and the heels with the denim is hot, great tension 👌🏻 love the color palette, silhouette and Levi denim...
So glad it helped! Have a great time!
First, I love hearing you speak, I subscribed to the Sustain This podcast because you (and Signe and Christina, too) are so thoughtful and interesting. Now (after some major 😒🙄), I really loved look #10 and will be playing with that look. I felt like you looked less confident this video, but that’s amazing! You’re figuring out how to make this item work for you and thanks for sharing that, cause that’s what life is like sometimes. I definitely am glad I have held on to some things I didn’t feel confident in at first. Love the variety of content you give us 💛
You had fun and so did we !!!
Super entertaining video AND it gave me some ideas, thank you.
I love this! Recently bought a pair of vintage black velvet jeans and needed some new inspiration. I think #5 would also look good with a light color boot.
My favorite format !! Thanks for inspiration
Those jeans look fantastic on you!😍
Absolutely love this video. You gave us all some great ideas to shop our own closets as always
Thank you for this video…the high waisted jeans and pants are horrible on my long waisted figure…midrise fits me best…much appreciated!
Love n light . Thanks
Definitely booties (w high heals or not) with that kind of jeans.
Look #1 & #5 are my favs 🥰🥰
Have you considered cuffing them or cutting them to show more ankle. The black heels my favorite. Cheers
I have a pair of soft brown 505s and a couple of shades of blue 501s, so I loved watching you style these up. I wear them with sock booties and some sneakers. I don't care if they aren't exactly right, it's too dang cold to be exposing my ankles. 😉
WOW! That one pair of jeans is SO versatile. Lots of inspiration
Hi! I love your channel and you’r lovely personality!
I cary weight in my middle section and that’s why I am more drown to wear middle waist jeans and trousers and I love ankle cropped length . In my opinion they look awesome with trainers and ancle boots. Especially with shirts and t-shirts. Try it on and you will love it too. And….. after all you always can roll up your trouser leg for more familiar shape. ❤
Fun video! Love the different styles!
This is a fit that would never fit me personally, but I enjoyed the video
Great Video. I also have trouble with hems that hit below the ankle unless it's a wide leg pair of jeans. Would you consider doing a video with recommendations on footwear with different types of denim and hemlines? BTW- Love a good pair of vintage Levis and those look fantastic on you.
Love love this format!! Yes! Feeling inspired!! Would a little fabric tape and a baby cuff fix it? 😊
Fun video, it’s always interesting to see your proceess. So I have a pair second hand, black straight-legged Levis, not sure if they are vintage or 501s, and i also struggle with them, but I love the fit! They need to be hemmed but i haven’t decided to which length yet. Last nigh I wored them tucked into a high boot with a block heel and I fo7nd I had to just wrap the excess fabric around my legs to avoid bunching and lumpy boots. I love how they turned out! I no longer wear heels like ever, but i do have a pair of black ankle booties with a wedge heel that i think would work, and maybe that’s the hem length I need.
Perfection! Thankyou!
You can alter and maintain the original hem!
I sometimes cuff my straight leg jeans when wearing boots or lower heeled shoes. I love the look. Is this outdated now?
Nothing’s outdated if you feel good in something as the confidence you have wearing it will always look good 😊
So good!
Love the inspiration. Jeans are my happy place. I have been on the search and have tried so many jeans over many years and have realized one or two pair of premium denim is the way to go but need some advice on a great brand for straight leg. What would be your top picks for straight leg? I'm 5'7' and 135-140 pounds, inverted triangle so my shoulders are wider than my hips and I have long legs so petite doesn't work. You have such an amazing style and have knowledge of brands.
Love the video! I've seen you wear the beautiful black stripe sweater in Look #3 in other videos. I love it, but haven't been able to figure out what brand it is. Do you mind sharing? It's such a great casual and versatile sweater. Thanks!
Thank you Alyssa, all great looks though I wasn’t sure about #8. I thought the jeans were a perfect length, you don’t need to alter them.
Alter them to fit your body...when "gifting" someone something...you should never put any rules on what the other person chooses to do with the item(s). It's also good to see you go back to what you do best, it was a fun video to watch!
It's the footwear. Add a white court sneaker or cognac boot. You can always cuff the bottom to your liking. A turtle neck makes the torso look too long with mid rise jeans for my body (I have to wear a deep scoop or v neck) ❤ higher the rise higher the neckline
Thumbs up😊
Hi! These looks are all very west coast BC, my area. I personally prefer long pants but most are too short or too long; I like them not quite touching the ground when wearing a 1" heel, so 33" inseam for me. Hard to find... Thanks! Loved the video! Have a great week!
I love my vintage denim, mine are more a mom style and the first time in almost (😢) 40 years I don't have to yank that shhhyt up lol.
Funny enough Levi's are impossible for me there's never enough room in the seat for me and even when they're high rise they're mid on me .
You look so tall in em GF! Hehe I love that Christina gave em to ya, she needs to share lol.
Legs for miles!
I actually have most of these exact items, but on me, the outfits look nothing like yours! Could it be because I’m in my late 60’s, short-waisted and stand 5’2” (last time I was measured)?
Mid rise is always a challenge. I have the same problem with the 501. On my body high waist looks better that's why I prefer the ribcage. But I keep the 501 cause it's a classic style.
The jeans have a good fit, you took the words right out of my mouth, can be half an inch or even 1 inch shorter to perhaps get the best look.
What about folding them up to under the knee outside a high boot, maybe with a heel? I remember stylish friends of my mum used to that in the seventies, and I want to do that too. But my jeans are either to narrow or to wide to do it nicely. Maybe it works with those jeans? And a wide blouse, tunic or sweather outside the jeans?
Loved the 505 Jean with all the higher heels, arguably the slightly longer then current trend and higher heel was more balanced on your frame overall - very chic.
The tucked in styles did not work as well, in my opinion , excepting number 8 where the all black looked kinda dangerous and great (without denim jacket). Loved the long voluminous pale coat and the Jean. Please don't shorten - you are not short of jeans (no pun intended😂), silhouettes change and classics ain't classics for no reason ..😎thanks for a great video!
Love your "style this" videos!
OMG I love the music!! What music is this?
LOOK #8 is my fave --without the denim jacket, plain and with the vest. I LOVE those boots. Where did you get them please?
Great video Alyssa, footwear always gives me trouble with denim. Although, I love the tall knee-high boot with heel. What brand are they?❤
How can I find out where you purchased some of your outfit pieces. This was very helpful. Thank you!
I have been debating on whether to add a black jean. Do you feel it is replacing the dark wash? These suggestions of course would work for any jean. Awesome!
The footwear also gets me stuck with straight leg jeans with a length like this. How would you team sneakers with this exact jean, especially when travelling and you need comfy walking shoes?
I love these looks! I have the same jeans and I’m looking for a pair of short boots like yours do you have a link for those?
I neeeed those tall boots! Where are they from?
❤the cannoli tee!! Where did you find 🇮🇹
❤❤❤
