- How to find jeans that fit? What are the perfect jeans for your body type?
In this video I explain what to pay attention to when shopping for jeans (waist, hips, thighs, length...), which type of jeans work for which body type and what to do if you can't find any pair of jeans that fit you.
This try-on video is not sponsored by Levi's.
Though Levi's, if you read this, let's design a capsule collection together. Call me? :-)
Thumbs up if you liked this video!
New videos: Wednesday 4pm & Sunday 12pm (Paris/Berlin time).
Take care!

Justine Leconte officiel Hi Justine. Really love your videos. I am 38yrs and trying to stop wearing jeans. Really would like some sugestion on how to replace jeans trousers on my wardrobe. Thank you very much.
Justine Leconte officiel Your videos are really entertaining and helpfull, Justine! I always smile instantly if I see a new one. 😍
I know I'm not the only woman with a belly-bigger-than-hips and I don't find normal jeans! I have to wear maternity jeans but the good ones are more expensive 😳 Also I can't have a tight jeans directly on my belly. Have you ANY suggestions for such a Problem? (i'm a European size 42/44)
Greetings. In addition to fit, a discussion on denim material would also be useful since it affects the fit, look, and wear.
Hi, I have the same problem. I once got Gap maternity jeans (!) but now I get jean jeggings. They are not leggings - they are denim but they have wide band fitted elastic at the waist. No zipper, which I prefer - I don't need anything else making my stomach look bigger! These leggings are very flattering. You just can't tuck in a top because the elastic would show. I get them here in England from Marks & Spencer. They are not expensive but are excellent quality. Sorry to write so much! (Great video Justine, thank you.)
Justine Leconte officiel I only use J brand or Madewell jeans don't like any other..i dislike low waist, I am tall and my crotch is long!
You have completely destroyed for me the myth about sizing and made me understand the disparity among brands sizes and the way factories differ in the way they make the clothes. I cannot thank you enough, something valuable to teach my little girls, because of you they will never be focused on a particular size but to a fit. What a gift, Justine!!❤️
I read somewhere. 'If you doubt, immediately after you put on the jeans whether they are the right fit, they are not'. I think it is very true!
+Caroline Y yes. And comfort doesn't "come with time". If it is too tight (especially around the thighs), it is too tight, period. 😁
Justine Leconte officiel, Absolutely! I just gave a pair of straight leg Old Navy jeans to my niece. I wore them one day, and they were still tight and uncomfortable on my thighs by the end of the day. The lighter wash even made my thighs look huge. On the other hand, I would never part with my dark wash straight leg Levi's.
Best advice😊👍
yes, just like with shoes!! (y)
If you have to question it or go back and forth on it in the dressing room then don't get it.
Ur forgot to mention rear pockets placement. Fast fashion especially cheap jeans place large rear pockets low which makes ur butt look saggy. This can be seen at any mall in the US.
I think my bum looks saggy when the pockets are too high, I think this is an individual thing.
Can you make a video about how to measure perfect bra size? and also with different types of bras. that will be really helpful! Thanks.
YESSS!
Yes please!
Ingrid Morbid. Not only do you need to be properly fitted (I have it done once a year) you need to try the bra on either at the store or at home (keep tags on) and then pull on a blouse where the fabric shows everything. I have quite a few solid lace bras but omg they look terrible when wearing a slinky t-shirt or sweater over them. I made sure to buy 3 t-shirt bras (3 different colors) just for that purpose. Learning how to figure out your size is actually quite easy, I've forgotten how exactly since I don't do it myself, but you need a flexible tape measure. It's something similar to this. You measure just under the bust to get the size (32,34,36,etc) and then measure around the fullest part of the bust. Each inch after the 1st measurement you took is the cup size. That's the part where I can't remember the exact sizes? Personally I prefer a dept store with a well trained staff as they know which bras run bigger or smaller and what would look/work best for you/me. Good luck!
Baileygirl Smith : Yes, absolutely spot on, on all points.
Hag Belmont r/abrathatfits can help with any bra problems 😊
Justine, I've been watching your videos for a while and want to thank you. You're videos are incredibly helpful and easy to understand. Thank you so much :) I always look forward to watching you.
Justine, you look great in anything. Keep smiling.
Thank you for the advice!! I took it, bought the first pair of jeans in years and have gotten compliments all day! Have an excellent day!
I'm so glad that you popped up on my recommendations. Your videos are so addictive. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
+Lg . . Thanks for clicking on that recommendation 😉🤗
If you're a short lady on a budget (like me) I highly recommend Old Navy for jeans. They have a nice petite selection without breaking the bank. I'm super in love with their leggings as well 😍
I love your videos ! Very concise,professional and to the point! Thank you for sharing.
Hi Justine! Thanks for posting this video. I have always struggled with jeans; I usually find ones that offer comfortable movement and have the waists taken in. My question is about my figure:
I'm pretty much a rectangle/athletic (*clears throat* with a some weight added) but I have a large bust and narrow shoulders, with heavy upper arms. When I was working out, my proportions shrank but didn't alter and I struggled to shrink my bust/upper arms. What kind of shape should I be focusing on when I shop for or make my clothing? Style is challenging! Thank you.
Would you consider doing a video on how to wear scarves of your head? I always see complicated knots and chic 50s women on airplanes wearing scarves on their heads.
On petite ladies high waisted jeans look really pretty. It will make your legs appear longer. I am petite myself and it looks very good!
Helpful, thank you. Jeans are one of the harder things to find for me.
This is very informative! Thank you!though I was so frustrated with Jeans shopping (I have a hard to fit figure AND specific wishes to the garment I am to spend money on), I started to drape a jeanspattern on myself. My bum curve is huuuuuge... And this curve got more straight in stores for years now, no wonder everything digged painfully in my stomach.I really am lucky to be able to sew these things up myself nowadays. Pants that pinch painfully in the flesh are a thing of the past now
I hate shopping for jeans, thank you for this video. ☺️
Would you consider going over your top choices for brands that offer tall?
Thank you so much...I will try your advice next time!😊😉
so good of you ....thank you!!
I would appreciate your input on the trend of, ripped jeans, distressed jeans, rugged jeans, destroyed jeans, busted jeans or shredded jeans. A teenage member of my family has a favorite pair of destroyed jeans, which are (in my opinion) borderline obscene. Insight and comments from a professional, like yourself, might be able to give helpful and truthful comments offering enlightenment on how to have a creative approach with jeans without unwittingly advertising oneself as someone practicing the world’s oldest “profession.” Thank you.
Thank you for such a great topic! I find jeans and trousers from Italy fit me the best. Whenever I go back, I always buy quite a few of them.
I’m loving your videos! What would you say are the best jean brands in your opinion? I know you’re about ethical production and good quality. Your advice would be awesome. Thanks
I loved this video and am so glad that I found your channel. Love from India.
thank you for this, its very informative, changed my way of buying denim pants..thank you very much
+franz victoria soriano awesome, thank you!
I'm extra petite. I like "capris". They are the perfect length
Could you please do a video about an athletic, more muscular body type and how to style it more feminine? Measurement-wise I would be an hourglass, but I don't really have curves, they're just mostly muscle.
I am watching.this again because I have to go shopping for jeans next week
Hi Justine , I would like to know where should the pockets sit on your bottom. xx
Hi Justine ,, Very good video , can u also make a video on inner wears , how to measure and buy according to our body type and fabric and brands that are doing good in these department
I could never find good pants and they always feel limiting and uncomfortable. That's why I started wearing almost only dresses and skirts. It works perfectly for my part shaped body. It highlights my little waist and hides my what I call underbuttfat I think it's also called saddlebags or something like that?
A big plus. You can hide your foodbaby perfectly and tights just feel like sweatpants in winter.
You look always chic and put together and people don't believe me when I tell them my actual weight or they see me in underwear. My appearance looks that different:D I am so happy o learned that quite early and built a wardrobe around that for the past years. Once in a while I want to wear a pair of pants though. So thank you for your help on this video I will keep it in mind on my panthunt :D
(I an talking about a line dresses and skirts. Also I am 23 (: )
low rise jeans looks good on you.
Can you make one for shorts as well?
Straight cut - inverted triangle
Hi Justine, I'm curious to know what you think of high waisted jeans for an hourglass figure? I love vintage fashion and am thinking of getting a pair. Love you vid's :)
Hi Justine, what do I need to do when jeans never fit right when I sit down? I always have to wear high waisted jeans since low and mid rise jeans doesn't seem to cover anything when I sit down and fall lower so I have to keep pulling them up. Jeans that fit my waist becomes too tight on my stomach when I sit down but if I size up then the waist is always too big when I stand up.
Very informative , thank you,
I'm a guy, but I really don't like men's jeans. They are either too lose or too tight. I think I could look good in women's jeans with straight leg. Do you think they are too tight in the crotch for me or would it work? I would like to highlight my thin legs and waist to give my shoulders a bit more "power". Generally I want to go for a more feminine, slick and "model-like" look. Do you think ths is the best way to go about it? I mostly wear chino pants with straight legs and looser tees. if I swap the chinos with denim, would it look good? Enough questions! I really like your videos, because even tho I can't use all the information, you always say why and how something works so I can come to my own conclusions.
Aahh.. You are a lifesaver..
2:55 - actually i usually go one size smaller when this happens, usually with a better result 🤔🤔
love how you nearly show your middle-finger 01:02
Did I?... 😨
Can you recommend any Latin American brands? I have received a generous serving of bum, which means that there's almost always a gap between me and the waistband, which sucks. I once had a pair of jeans from J.Lo, but I can't get my hands on that brand where I live (Denmark).
A video on bra sizes and shapes and brands please!
I hope you may be able to answer even after your helpful video I do appreciate but I'm still struggling I'm inverted triangle which is probably the worst shape to have I'll bear in mind the drop waist as I have 1 pair of this and it works around the whole hips body bum thighs area but as a woman of 47 with a inverted triangle shape I feel also high waisted are better fit around that area but I am not really happy with every straight leg for jeans I own it makes me look somewhat masculine and the skinny around the calf is always wayyyy to skinny I have some Asda jeans that fit perfect at top but is almost qute tight on my clafs is this wrong at age 47 I do feel jeans are quite flattering for a cheap store pair but they are good quality thick and stretch every straight leg pair is usually a disaster and end up looking shapeless and other ones I look absolutely awful in as I am very skinny around legs and bum it's just the tum makes me size 12 because of peri pause meanou pause and then I am like the largest bust size can you do a vid on jeans for this type shapes woman also with short legs and petite and 5"3 in height I'm having nightmares kinds wishes 💜
As a 5 foot and an inch woman, super petite and small, all the normal pants, jeans or jegging will still be longer than my feet in which I will have to fold it always, thus I will go for the 3/4 pants and jeans or capri jeggings because it fits perfectly on my feet without having the need to fold it. Lmao. Short people problem.
I have such a hard time finding jeans that fit. I always will be trying them on in the store and I'm like "these are perfect!" But then when I really wear them they end up riding down and I end up showing my backside to the world and it's super embarrassing.
+Emma Sieger yes, that is what happened when the waist doesn't fit. When you try jeans on, do some squats, sit down, etc so you filter out those issues before buying 😉
I am an apple shape and find the super firm stretch very skinny jeans look the best. Wearing them super tight and you cant breathe for 5 or 10 minutes , but you get used to that. Just dont eat much with those jeans on which is a good thing too.
Has no one else noticed how gorgeous Justine's figure is?
Yes we have they are
Very good! Just saying that ladies like me, that need to lose tummy weight, feel much more comfortable in high-waisted jeans so we can tuck in the muffin-top rather than have it spilling out!
yes totally agree! that's the one thing I would've changed in the video
I’m short waisted with a tummy and “dip hips.” I NEVER wore jeans that fit comfortably and flattered my figure until high rise jeans and pants became fashionable. Mid rise styles always “bite into” my waist and are slack and sloppy in the lower hip/thigh. They looked unattractive but were also extremely uncomfortable to wear.
No “fashion/style advice” works perfectly for everyone.
A Masion I have a tummy and hip dips too, but even high rise jeans are uncomfortable for me. Like it will be too right for me to breathe and my waist is so high up that it’s right under my boobs. I’m honestly considering quitting jeans cause of this.
@@amasion2882 I kinda feel you, high waisted jeans are the way to go, though I have more of an hourglass type over anything
I know that this is an old video ( just found it!) But l think that low waisted jeans have been out of style for quite a while... thank goodness for those of us with " tums".... so uncomfortable!!
Justine - Hi Guys this is Justine
Me - *HITS LIKE BUTTON*
I cannot be the only one who gets excited when she uploads a new video :-)
Vibha B : Yes, isn't she great. If she's still in France, I hope she's establishing opportunities in Asia; the part of the world that most appreciates AND can afford to pay her to keep herself in the style to which she either is, or will be, accustomed. I note that Singapore has opened its SECOND lycée, so large is the French community there now.
Jenny Penny
Same here!!!! "Hi everyone, It's Justine!" .....and I know to look up, from my desk, and pay attention! Justine's wide range of topics, are always "tres, tres, informative," up-to-date, fun, and she is the REAL DEAL. Never pretentious, just a great teacher, inspiring speaker/educator, and motivating. Sometimes I feel really guilty when I am jumping from RUclips video to RUclips video, --wasting time --but when I tune in to her videos, it is time well spent, I feel as if I am really gaining excellent information that I can actually use in my every day life. I love her format how she gets right to the point, in the first five seconds and, I particularly loved her video on who to watch or follow I guess, on Instagram. I have two daughters both out of college, and I do not use the apps the way young people do, but I do have an Instagram account and the suggestions she made on that particular video were really great!
Vibha B Literally me! ❤ u justine!!
Thank you for this explanation.
Could you please make a tutorial on how to determine denim's quality?
I have weird experiences with super cheap Pimkie jeans lasting for over 7 years, and $150 Lee getting torn in a year. As well as other way around.
I also suspect expensive jeans to be fake sometimes, and have no idea how to determine it.
Thank you for all your videos, they're very useful 😊
Natu, famous brands can hardly guarantee quality these days. Look at the seems - the smaller the sewing print of the seams the better, best of all - seems look invisible unless that is intentional style and they look robust. I bike a lot and have to make sure the color will not fade around my bum, so I slightly scratch the material. I had seen Guess jeans for 200 $ that died my finger nails instantly. Some brands now warn people about extra care their clothing need. Check how flexible the material is itself, especially at the knees as poor quality material will expand around the knees and make pants look years older. Like you, I own a pair of jeans I bought still at college from 2nd hand and they are still my fav winter jeans.
julijakeit I never thought about scratching it, I'll try it next time. I found my perfect jeans in Calzedonia two summers ago (jogging with a perfect fit and very elastic, but with a sturdy look) and I got them in 4different colors, as backups, in case they only lasted me a year. But so far the first 2 ones are going strong. I'll do this scratching test on them!
In my opinion the most awful quality you can get is if you buy a pair of Pepe jeans. At least here in Germany.
Levi's used to be good but idk anymore
@Winnie The Pooh I know, that's true. But isn't it for all the things during these times? I think, yes, it is.
But, I've got to admit, Levi's 711 is REALLY good! At least here in Germany. I'm a huge fan of 711. Both quality and fit are awesome! Love it.
I would love a video for fuller figures. I always get the feeling that when you're slim everything looks good. 😕You're a star btw. Brief, concise, to the point without chattering away. Lovely. 😘
H MARIA : Yes, it's great how concise she is.
omg yes that'll be great!!
Yes, but if your size is an European 50, you are pear-shaped with a quite big belly, it is impossible to find jeans that fit. When I was a bit younger and thinner, I could by a pair and have it reworked at the waist (always to large at the back). But now, I can find a pair of jeans any more... the only jeans I find contains too much stretch, almost only a lot of synthetic fiber, they don't last, and are inconfortable.
Florence Cousin I totally understand you. I changed size a few years ago and nothing seemed to fit me... until I stopped searching at the same places and brands I used to. Levi's, for example has plus sizes with a lot of different shapes and fits. I think Justine's advices really apply for all figures, you just have to be patient and try on a loooot of pants ;)
A good rule of thumb, with a caveat:
Surgery can affect fat distribution beneath the skin by creating 'breaks' where incisions lie and altering the shape. I say this because I have had cesarean section surgery and my lower abdomen now has a sharp crease, resulting in my stomach folding over itself, adding girth to my lower stomach and affecting how my undergarments lie on my body, which also impacts the fit of my clothing. While my upper body and thighs haven't changed, pregnancy and surgery have altered the shape of my lower torso significantly. I am effectively a near-apple, though before I was a busty rectangle.
I'm a very tall (180cm) pear shape with a big butt but a small waist, and I literally don't own a single pair of pants that fit properly 😩 I feel the need to go with high waisted pairs because they prevent my butt from spilling out when I sit down (lol), but they're always too wide around the waist when they fit my full thighs, butt and hips. Lower waists just give me a muffin top. Ugh. The STRUGGLE. To be honest, most of the time I just give up and wear skirts.
+Rikke that's not a bad solution at all! 😊
Maybe try vintage mom jeans? It has to fit your style, but they're usually perfect for ladies with more curves and a small waist. Might be too short, but that doesn't matter with this style :)
Belts, belts, belts!! I have the same problem :)
Rikke the struggle is REAL!!! I think pants have changed, or maybe the fabric. I can only wear slacks/trousers and I still have to try dozens of pairs before finding ones that fit properly. I haven’t found a pair of jeans that don’t stick out in the back in over a decade. Something changed in the fashion industry for this to be a problem for multitudes of women worldwide. It’s not the shape of the women, it’s the designs.
Me too but not so critical. I just wear skinny jeans from levis. My small waits 78cm and my hip 104cm
I really appreciated the laugh I got from the picture of the actual camel's toe! This should be on a poster in fitting rooms with a red slash through.
Good one!!! LOL!!!🐪🐫
I have a 34” inseam but am 5’6” tall, so I have a dramatically short torso. I’m also a slightly bottom heavy hourglass/pear shape. If I want a good cry, I’ll go jeans shopping. I have yet to find a proper fitting pair of jeans. This guide is very helpful in theory though. 😂
I hear you. I am a 5'7" pear shape with a 34" inseam. I hate jeans. I do not find them comfortable and they are definitely not flattering. I quit even trying. I prefer slacks and find them much easier to fit & flatter my shape!
Your tips are so sensible. Love it, Justine!
As a pear shaped women it's always recommended that we wear boot cut BUT I find that it just adds excess fabric volume to my lower half and I end up looking more bottom heavy than I already am! Not only that but boot cut jeans are out of fashion at the moment... making me feel too 2000's (and not in a good way).
Ingrid Bennett Yeah, I don't agree with that one either! I'm long legged with narrow hips and bootcut or straight leg looks WAY better on me than skinny jeans. I should be someone who looks great in them, but they make me look 'top heavy' (broad chest/shoulders) while wider legs make my figure appear more balanced.
SAME. I'm also pear shaped and quite short (5ft) and everytime I wear a boot cut I feel like I look even shorter.
I buy a relaxed fit or straight. boot makes me look shorter and skinny makes the pear in me more pronounced.
exactly my problem. I feel comfortable in skinny jeans and combine them with quite loose fit things on the top
It's funny when recommendations go awry, I've heard the same thing too but I think the style that looks best on me as a pear is a trouser or wide leg (but not a huge wide leg). I think an issue with the bootcut is does the part where it starts to flare fall with where your knee actually is, not in the right spot definitely makes it look off. Ultimately if you like something, try it on, it's the best way to see if it works for your particular body.
I have big butt and big thighs, and I'm petite. It's such a pain trying to find pants that don't make me look short and fat. Straight cut always makes my legs look like chimneys, and boot cut makes me look really short. Even the Levi's bold curve is too short on the back, they squish my butt flat and wide. I always have to go back to a stretchy skinny jeans with pockets just right. After a decade of just riding on the old jeans that still fit, I finally found Lucky Jeans midrise and highrise jeans (Ava, Lolita and Brigitte), and they fit amazing.
I can finally repurpose my jeans instead of fixing that hole in the butt. 😂
@reicirith Thanks to your suggestion, I was out looking for some jeans and found a pair of Lucky Brand jeans (the Lolita Mid Rise Crops), and decided to give them a shot. I cannot tell you how pleased I am! Like you I have an ample bottom, my thighs are fuller, and I'm petite. Finding a pair that actually cover my backside and don't do that dreaded slide when I sit or bend is beyond fantastic. Thank you for the recommendation!
You make people feel like it REALLY doesn't matter what shape we have, we are beautiful. Thank you
I hear people complain all the time that fashion is catered to tall, thin women. As one myself, I don't understand this complaint at all! I always have so much trouble finding jeans that fit me in length and at the waist. If the waist fits, they're too short, or if they're long enough, the waist is super big. It's like brands think that as you get taller, everything else gets bigger too. That's not always true!!
I am 5' 11" and I have just accepted that I have to buy clothes a size bigger and then have it tailored. Happy that more retailers are carrying Talls. I am not getting a bigger size because I am fat, but I am longer all over, especially my arms!
Lori Bonicelli try Long Tall Sally!
I have the opposite problem as I’m only 5 feet & 1inch tall& even some “petite” jeans are too long in the leg. I can get them altered but sometimes it ruins the overall shape. Also generally here in Australia there seems to be less choice available for petite women.
some advice for my tall ladies out there. Go shop in the men's section! The cut isn't any different. Not even in the crotch. Except that a women's 34 length is never long enough for me but a men's 34 fits perfectly. And if you'd prefer a tighter leg that's super easy to fix yourself. There are plenty of tutorials out there. Another upside to men's jeans is that they have bigger pockets and are often cheaper.
They're also often built more durable, which is super important if you're going to put down $$ on clothes. Getting stuff that lasts longer is always better. Though, I've always had to get them tailored to fit my waist because most mens jeans don't have enough curve for me. That's a minor thing really.
Yep, I started wearing mens jeans for the same reason. All womens jeans make me look like I'm wearing flood pants.
Li Na i love men jeans!
Li Na Aren't men's jeans good only for a "ruler" figure? Men don't have a difference b/t waist & hips.
Gloria J. Pinsker I honestly never had a problem with that and my body definitely doesn't have a ruler shape. I think men's bodies are a bit more diverse than that. And many jeans have stretchy fabrics which might make a difference as well. It's worth trying some on either way.
I have a rectangular body, and I love the classic “Mom jeans,” and even took it to another level with one pair, I dug out a pair of my mom’s jeans from when she was in high school, and they fit beautifully. They’re the classic Zena jeans, and the denim is much thicker than anything I’ve ever seen in a store, and they feel much more durable
I just laughed so hard at the camel toe part that my husband and cats stopped to look at me.
I've heard the "wear low waisted jeans for apple body types" a few times now. Do other apples find that this style literally falls down when you walk? If you buy a tighter waist then you just suffer muffin top. I can only wear mid or high rise.
+15wolfey can you recommend one where the mid or high-rise waist isn't too tight? Other viewers we're asking too.
Me too! I've ended up having to insert elastic into the back half of the waistband and now they stay up.
Justine Leconte officiel. Hi Justine. Yes, as someone else has already commented, Paige jeans work for me (Hoxton Ultra Skinny). I have also had success with Adriano Goldschmied (The Prima Mid-rise Cigarette). A mid-rise bootcut also works to balance out my bigger top half. Hope this helps.
Justine Leconte officiel I'm a petite apple shape and have two pairs of diesel Fayza style, the best and most comfortable jeans I've ever owned. They're designed to be worn low and be a little baggy around the butt on thin girls, on me they fit fabulously at the waist, hips, legs and butt in 2 sizes smaller than my usual. Would definitely recommend!
agree. Also high rise makes the legs look long.
I have had a really bad day. I subscribe to a lot of people here on RUclips, but I was drawn to watch your video sooner, because I knew it would be happy, soothing, educational, and fun. I really appreciate your channel.
As an apple, I have rarely been able to find women's pants that fit; what fits around my waist easily has 6-8 inches excess material at the hips. For me, the simple solution is buying men's jeans, where with just the waist and inseam measurements, they always fit.
I love how your videos are always timeless, am frequently returning whether however time passes, it’s memorized & vital information to check back on! Thank you 😌😂
Am I the only one who HATES low raise?
I am one of those who can never find a pair of jeans that fit both my hips and waist. I always have to wear a belt if I buy woman jeans. Another reason why I prefer mens jeans....
you are not the only one, sister!
Love your videos. Could you please do one for ladies who are carrying most of their weight on their bellies?
I have no butt but a big belly
sounds like lower cut would be good option.
Have you looked at NYDJ (Not Your Daughter's Jeans)? Those are made specifically for women with a bit of belly. They feel fabulous and stretch really nicely in that area smoothing everything.
JuJu Bean I have the same problem. For my personal taste I avoid low cut like the plague I just feel like my belly hangs over the waist band. I prefer a mid or high rise and something with a bit of stretch so it doesn't hurt my belly. Don't be afraid of jeggings either. They can be really flattering when paired with a flowy top or one where it chinches at the true waist.
Yes!! All my pants fall off of me if they stretch too much since I have a smaller hip and thigh than waist.
Same . No hips, no bum, chicken legs and a muffin all the way around . I hate jeans!
This was such a great video, thank you very much! I'm Brazilian but live in the UK, and I can never find jeans that fit me here. Now it all makes sense!
+Nicole T. Hehehe I can imagine 😅
Basically I've given up on buying jeans until I go back to my home country. They charge too much for Latino fits in America haha
+Olga Cruz oh really? I didn't know...
Hello/ Bonjour Justine ,
I am french like you but will post my comment(s) in English since your growing audience seems to be English speaking . Great video as usual , your videos are always delivered in a highly structured and informative manner ...yet friendly and straight to the point about fashion, trends , French ways etc...so well done ! I never / rarely comment on videos and i had to register and get a youtube profile just to leave you a comment and congratulate you :-) In fact i wanted to comment on the video you've made on the 5th of july about how to start a business , which is similar to the subject of your first video you've made when you started this channel , which purpose was to make a journal of your journey as a young designer launching her business ...and in between you seem to be adding so many advices on clothes, fashion and so much more ...There's something you do not mention in your video about how to start your business and "market it" ...for instance i was wondering how you've managed to turn this channel since your first video into such a success 175 000 abonnés , that's not a small number ! Félicitations...could you be kind enough to reflect perhaps on what / how you've managed that ? which video perhaps helped to bring you an audience in the jungle of all the youtubers talking about fashion and beauty etc...plus in your first video which introduced your channel you've explained and offered to share a sort of step by step journey / journal on you building your business and fashion line? which somewhat has turned into one of the most informative and well researched channel on fashion , clothes, trends etc...anyway CONGRATULATIONS / mes félicitations les plus sincères ...a bientôt et merci de partager avec nous d'une façon aussi claire et intelligente sur des sujets variés ...vous avez vraiment un style très personnel de présenter ces sujets ...and straight to the point ! Si je parviens à écrire et compléter tout ce que j' aimerais faire and "achieve" avec mon blog , je ne manquerais pas de mentioner votre chaine et certaines vidéos bien précises ..pourquoi refaire ce qui est déjà si bien fait ;-)
This video comes just in time for me as I have to buy new jeans! Thank you very much Justine, you are a great inspiration :)
+Laia González thank you 😘
I don't know if you experience the same struggle as me, but whenever I'm on the hunt for a good pair of jeans I always run into the same problem: I have a tiny waist (only 58cm), but my hips and bum are 93 cm, because I am an athlete and grew a fair amount of muscle in that region. And my jeans almost never ever fit me perfectly on the waist AND my hips/legs, I usually have to alter them myself (which is not a problem) or sacrifice one for the other
But great video as always, Justine!
much love from saxony
+irgendeine mit 'nem Namen indeed, your body requires taking the waist in. But I am sure you wouldn't want to loose muscles in the hip/thigh area. I find sporty bodies beautiful, on men and women 😀
Literally the struggle is real
If you're still interested, I've got somewhat similar measurements (60/90) and some of the Weekday jeans fit me quite well. Definitely not perfectly, but better than many others, so maybe those could be something for you. Apart from this gap at the back that's still there even then, the cut sadly varies a lot with them (I've tried on four jeans of the exact same model and size in different colours and only one fit me well enough to keep it, but that's a win because I've been trying to find jeans for an eternity)
Very helpful information! I bought a pair of Levi’s skinny jeans in Portugal many years ago. They were PERFECT. Once I returned home to Ireland and tried to get a second pair, I was informed that the style I had gotten in Portugal was only sold in Latin America, Portugal and Spain, bc the cuts were made slightly different in those markets, to suit curvier shapes, while the “same” skinnies here in Ireland were cut for narrower waists and leaner bottoms 😪 I’m Colombian, so that’s my story 😉
In short, skinny jeans sold in Ireland, UK and most European countries (except Spain and Portugal) never ever suit my South American curves, no matter how thin I may be 😪
The position and size of the back pockets can help you make your bottom and hips look slimmer, I like good size pockets fairly close together. Marks & Spencer's Eva Bootcut jeans are good quality, inexpensive and come in different lengths (petite, etc.). I have found they fit me best of all, I buy the regular length for heels and the petite for flats. Available in the UK
As a petite girl with hips and bum, jeans have always been my enemy. To the point I just stopped wearing them and moved on to skirts. I'll keep this video in mind for the next time I go out shopping, and perhaps I can actually find some jeans this time :D
I am trans girl male to female ..finding this intresting but doesn't completely apply as I still have less meat on my hips yet I do have a pert bottom and long legs... I suppose I still have to stick to male jeans yet the waist height is too high to look femm… not easy to find jeans without looking male which is what im trying to avoid.... thank you for your indepth explanation I now know whats wrong but its not going to be easy to find what looks correct lol …. I love your channel its a big help in chosing my wardrobe .. please keep posting Justine you are a sweetheart x
do you already have a video on shapewear, lingerie, etc?
+djphoenix98 not yet, but lingerie is on the wishlist 😉
Justine Leconte officiel great! i'll definitely watch out for that. 😄
xoxo from the philippines!!!
I wish women would wear slips. Skirts and dresses flow and hang nicely with a slip underneath.
Pam W i agree! ☺
I also cut down longer slips into tunic length because a tunic 'snagging' on your behind adds pounds to your look! Makes tunics slide easily over my trousers to give me a sleeker look.
This was a great video, as they all are! I was surprised to learn you are tall. Having nothing to compare you to on your videos I have envisioned you as petite. :-) Thank you for all of your videos!
I never knew there was so much to know about the proper jeans fit. You’ve made my life easier. Thank you. Also you are just so darn cute!
The day after I watched this video, I went to buy new jeans! I have always had a difficult time buying pants because of my hight and figure, but now, with your tips and explanation about jeans and body types, it was easy and fun! Thank you Justine, and keep up the superb videos about style: they are little diamonds amongst the many useless videos here on RUclips.
i want u to know that u r my favourite.....
+Sampada Regmi yayyy 👏🎉 Thank you!
i literally watch all ur videos ......do keep up the good work
Why are all of the jeans so far from your waist like 7 cm below the waistline. Your waist is where when you bend right or left and a winkle in the skin begins to fold. The same is true when you bend forward. Tough to have a long torso when fitting clothing.
I am latin and have a huge bum and hips and thighs and a small waist. My fav jeans are the top shop petite high waist in the uk
second that!
My favourite pair are topshop Jamie, they seem to fit a lot of people very well. I am somewhere between inverted triangle and hourglass (triangle when looking at my shoulders to my hips, and hourglass by ratio between wais and hips) with average thighs. They are just so comfortable and accentuate my waist :)
angela gomez the Jamie jeans changed my life. The only pair I wear now.
angela gomez I'm going to have to give these a try! Thanks
angela gomez Angieeeee que risa verte por acá. Yo estaba pensando lo mismo que comentaste. Me encantan los vídeos de Justine ❤️❤️❤️
I think you should have mentioned as well what type of denim as well. I am a full hourglass (there is 30cm at least between my hips and waist) and the only jeans that fit are the one with some elastane to give them a stretchy feeling. Otherwise I cannot even pass a jeans through my bum :p High waist is also better for hourglass (on me they end up being middle waist lol) because they enhance the waistline.
+Linda Ben Awad thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your reply, love your channel (entre compatriotes Françaises :))
Justine:
An idea for your business.
You mentioned that patterns are regional... I am a French Canadian women, who lives in Denmark. My daughter has my body shape (petite hourglass). In Denmark, the patterns are OBVIOUSLY made for ruler shaped and inverted triangle women. This type of pattern does match the most common body types around here.
Now that my daughter is an adult, like me, it's fairly easy to find clothes that will fit, since we are not too short either. However, from the age of 9 to 12, clothes shopping was a nightmare. The pants for girls here have no room for the bum, AT ALL. Just try shopping for clothes with a child, who experiences that not only things don't look right, but they hurt if she can zip them up and tie the button. She was literally screaming and crying in the dressing room. It took hours to find one pair of pants, and we had to do it all over again after a short amount of time, because she was still growing (horizontally).
If you feel like making children clothes and selling them online, clothes that actually fit slowly growing curves in Europe, I think there would be a market.
Financially, I used to try to find the cheapest pants possible, because we would need to buy new pants every 3 to 6 months for 3 or 4 years. We tried shopping in more expensive clothes stores, the problem still occurred. Also, the rare jean we could potentially find in such a store was so expensive that it was prohibitive to buy new ones 3 months later. So, a good fitting pair, with room for the growing hips of a 9 year old, could cost as much as these more expensive pants as long as they are roomy enough to last a reasonable amount of time. Room to let the hip bone grow. :-)
Maybe there are good children clothes brands available online nowadays, but it might be worth investigating.
My daughter didn't want to wear dresses or skirts either, because all the other girls wore pants. :-/
I loveeeeee high-waisted jeans, they make me taller :)
Such an eye opener to know why camel toe happens and other mishaps. Thank you! Can't wait for a new review using higher waist pants.
hey Justine :-)
I would love to receive some tipps for thicker legs /ankles / calves! I am petite (1.59 m) and for my height my legs are big! thank you! love your channel! :-)
Could you recommend/ name a few brands that do only jeans and do it well? I really want to shop somewhere that only sells jeans but I don't know any brands! Thank you :)
Ana The reader Hi...I also wasn't aware there are stores that only carry jeans...
Bought a pair online from Macy's last week, and I HATE them- even though they're the same size as my other jeans, these are TIGHT on me.
Thanks to Justine, now I know why!!
P.S. You look beautiful, Justine! !🤗
Other than diet and exercise, what do you recommend for those of us with a stomach and saddlebags? Thanks for all of your tips.
Xelbuad cut sugar. most of the fat cells there are used to store converted glucose from the liver.
Nothing BUT diet and exercise is going to do that.
Thank You I am one of the thousand People who requested this!
+Eli the Owl thousand? I knew the comment got many likes but I didn't see it had gotten that big 😅. Well, I hope everyone finds the video helpful!
Any kind of perfect jeans for ladies with love handles ?
Melissa Loves Thrifting thanks ;)
Hi Justine, thanks for the video- it was really helpful. What are the names of shops which specialise in jeans?
Samantha Boluka Following
I am wondering the same question! I've never been to a jeans-specialized store before, but would like to give it a go, since it's so hard to actually find something that fits...
I think she was talking about brands specializing in jeans, not necessarily entire shops. Examples of denim brands would be Levi's, Pepe Jeans, Lee, Diesel, True Religion, G-Star, 7 for All Mankind... Lots of compartment stores have denim sections where you have lots of brands, cuts and sizes.
I was wondering the same. The only one I know is levis here in Colorado. I have given up on jeans and just get men's 501, or 505's. I have learned so much from your videos Justine, I even educate my 21 year old daughter, thank you.
Thank you!
Bootcut jeans with spandex are really the only option for fuller figure sized women. They give you balance with your shape and movement with your body.
I was a huge fan of the bold curve Levi's jeans as I am something of an extreme pear, but Levi's stopped selling them in shops over a year ago and now I checked and I can't even get them online anymore in Europe. Does anyone know of other brands or models that could replace them?
+bealittecreative I know that Guess tends to be curvy too
I like Lucky Brand's "boyfriend" jeans.
I know!! The Levi's demi curve was my perfect fit. First pair of pants I could wear without a belt. Looked for them again when mine started to stretch out and wear thin this past year. Nowhere to be found. :(
bealittecreative silver brand jeans. They are amazing, I used to buy Levi's supreme curve but they don't make them anymore. Silver brand Suki fit was perfect for me and they carried various inseams and styles.
American Eagle if you can find them. Also Calvin Klein has nice models. For apple body jeans.
finally, someone who says high-waists look good on rectangles! everyone else says it's unflattering and its such bs
okay ...stop reading my mind😅😘😘😘 this topic was on my mind .. hehe
+Namrata Khobragade hehehe should I add telepathy to my CV? 😂
yes, yes and yes! By the way, finding out about your channel is the best experience I got from RUclips! Merci, Justine, tu es tout simplement magnifique. Bisous
great video!
what are good, ethically correct producing denim brands?
Hey beautiful thank u so much. You have vast knowledge on jeans could u do a video on petite women 5"4 with hardly any bums ( back ) . What denim can I wear to make my back look appealing. What fall ? What cut ? Where on my ankle should it fall. Thank u so much.
Helpful Indeed 😍😍😍
+Nirmiti Pimpalkhare thanks!!
