You've done it Emma - You have finally converted me into straight leg jeans!! LOOVVEEEE this video! So happy you're not leaving us hanging whilst you are across the pond living it large xxx
Honestly this is the best jeans video that I have ever seen! Also you are the first person that I have ever seen that has been able to show me the proper way to cuff a non tapered hem. And just a little suggestion for when you come to the states: since you are such a fan of Levi's (who isn't?) you should try looking in the thrift stores here. We have great styles and prices. I have at least 10+ pairs of Levi's alone that I bought secondhand for an average of $10 or least for each one...🤑
I'm a bit funny about second hand clothes, I do buy vintage occasionally but I really struggle with the smell, it's just a weird OCD kinda thing of mine 🙈
This is the first time i'm leaving a comment after watching youtube for years, you are now officially my favorite when it comes to fashion. Please keep the highstreet vibe going, other youtuber always recommend really expensive pieces.
I love high street and I love designer pieces but I prefer to invest in my shoes and accessories along with staple pieces rather that wearing designer head to toe.....I haven't got the money for that 😂
Thanks so much for doing this video, been looking forward to it for a long time. I appreciate how thorough you are with all the design elements and all the little details that could've been overlooked. Also, hope you're having fun on your trip to the states! Been loving keeping up with all your Insta stories ☺️
I never realized how important denim was, until I started watching your UA-cam videos. It makes a big difference in an outfit! This was a great video! Now I’m off to search for some of these!
You are one of my favourite youtubers! I love British youtubers! You guys often have the best style so chic and effortless! Plus your personality is so lovable 😘💗
Love Levi's. I used to only wear Levi's and hated other jeans 👖 but I reached out to other brands when Levi's were not doing great but I don't think I ever liked any other brand as much. I found Lucky Brand in the interim and still like, but Levi's are the best 🌸 ⚘ and I loved your Paige and Re done. The grey t-shirt and gold jewelry look great. Thank you for cleaning the mirror for us ❤️ lol hope your trip is going well ❣️
Thank you Emma for this lovely video I was really looking forward to it. Great options there, love that you cover all different price points. I have to say I went and bought these Zara jeans in both blue and off black and haven’t stopped wearing them ever since!
Amazing denim collection - plus the Levis CT jeans you linked to were almost half price in a mid season sale so I bought 2!! Well, a girl needs options! xx
Here in Canada, no one ever really talks about Topshop denim. But, soooo many UK bloggers looooove them, so I made a special trip down to Topshop in Vancouver yesterday. I tried on all different styles and fell in absolute love with the Jamie jeans. Bought two pairs!!! Finding great fitting comfortable denim is hard, so I’m glad I tried Topshop!
Topshop is a British brand and many of use grew up with Topshop jeans, for most of us they were probably our first jeans as a teen so we do pay hommage to them 🙊 However, be wary as not all of their styles are good, some have so much stretch in the fabric that you end up with saggy crotch, saggy butt and saggy knees 😕
been waiting for this video for too long!! I bought 2 pairs of redone's since you reviewed them before and though stiff , they are the softest denim I've ever worn. thanks for the tip!
Such a great video, Levi's are my favorite denim brand. When I was younger I use to love The Gap jeans, something happened and the quality and sizing changed so much and I just stick to Levi's now.
Thanks so much for this detailed video!! Love ASOS jeans, have you tried the Farleigh slim mom jeans from them? They are amazing. And H&M Vintage line of jeans are great also!
I Emma great video lots of info on each pair of jeans, loved it thank you. Levi's are my fav, I've had a few pairs over the years and you can't beat them they last and last. Thanks again Emma Ria xx
My favourite ones are Levis 501ct as well. I also buy them in 26/32 size. They are the most comfy jeans ever. I have them in about 5 colors and am absolutely addicted to them :-). Cant believe I wear the same size, when I watch your films I think you are much slimmer than me :-) Love your style, of course!
I didn’t think this was going to interest me too much but I watched as you’re my fave at the moment... this was a great video! I’m a similar size to you so I’m keen to pick up one of two of these. You know your shit!!!!!!
Love your denim collection 😍. I bought Zara mom jeans and Levi`s 501 ct after I watched your haul, Levi`s are my fav. Now I have to invest in the Dr Denims . Can’t wait for the next video. 😍
Awesome information!!! You covered all the details so well. I had to chuckle at the face you made regarding Jeggings because I couldn't agree more! 😂 We'll done!
Love love love!! I have a question regarding finding the right jeans for me...I’d say my waist is a 10 but my legs are a 12 and I just can not find jeans to fit me at all. Either to tight or to big around the waist. Are there any brands in particular you would recommend I try, or styles. I usually always wear a skinny jean. 😘
Have you tried a straight leg, they are't as fitted on the legs so you could get away with a 10 and they maybe wouldn't be tight on your legs? Just a thought to try maybe x
Hi Emma and Happy Easter to you from Norway. I agree with you regarding the Levis 501 skinny. I ordered a pair from the States. I sized down one sz as I always do in the 501 and the fit was perfect except around the knees and in the calves, they were very tight.(and I have long slim legs) I hope that it will give with some wear. I just ordered a pair of Levis 501 CT in my usual 501 size, witch I have not received yet, but I red your comment here that the CT comes in different styles? And then I start to worry a bit about the fit of the jeans I just ordered. I thought that CT was CT and not different styles within the CT? Can you then please tell me what kind of CT style you have in this video? Thank you.
Hello there! Loved this video but you didn't mention the size you ordered in the Paige Sarah Straight jean...I am considering ordering a pair and need to know if they are true to size or, if I should size up or down and if they shrink at all after the wash?
Hi Emma. Great video! One question: How do you clean your black denim jeans? I've been wearing black jeans for many years now, and I hate that they loose so much colour when washing them in the machine - so any good advice or tips?
Really informative video, thank you. I’ve always bought high street jeans (River Island, Zara, H&M, etc) as I’m really clumsy and couldn’t bear to spend lots then drop something greasy on them or fall over and tear them. However, having six dogs means that I live in jeans so wearing anything else just feels odd (Wore a sweater dress yesterday and got myself all flustered rearranging it and pulling it down all bloomin’ day) so I think I should try on a few premium brands so that I have a couple of pairs for ‘best’. Also, in your everyday make up video you mentioned your eyebrow are tattooed - Could you do a Vlog about that please as your brows look really great! Was the procedure painful and how did you know what colour and shape to choose or did the person doing your brows decide?
I will be blogging my eyebrow touch up so you guys can see the process 👍🏼 You'd be surprised at how tough premium denim can be, a heck of a lot more so that high street denim as they're designed in the old school denim way, to stand the test of time & wear 👍🏼
They all look great on you! I’ve tried a few straight leg as usually wear skinnies but most as I’m 5ft 5 are too long and don’t work well! Maybe need to find some in a shorter leg will try the Topshop ones but the Levi’s Ct looked too long on me x
Amanda Dyke Levi's will shorten their jeans for you for free in store, I believe it doesn't matter where or when you initially bought them. I had my wedgies straight shortened.
How does the black Levi’s jeans wash? I feel like after 5 washes all my black jeans are grey. 😒 I even use vinegar as “fabric softener” to preserve colour. Also, great tip on cuffin boyfriend jeans before folding them up. Why haven’t I thought of that!? 👍🏼
The Weekday Tuesday don't seem to lose color and I've been washing them once week for six month now. I've had my fair share of black jeans and I'm positively surprised. Some of their other models are absolute crap tho
I barely wash my jeans unless they actually get dirty. You're not supposed to wash jeans like your other clothes, but if you do you should wash inside out on a cold wash. If you're washing hot that might be the reason that they're losing colour x
Emma Hill You raise a great topic: What ARE you supposed to do to jeans, to freshen them up? I try to stretch my use quite a long time before washing them (although toothpaste seem to be DRAWN to my clothes! Maybe I should dress in the morning AFTER I've brushed my teeth! 🙈), but when "the knee situation" appears, I feel I have to wash them - if toothpaste hasn't forced me to before. I've heard that you can pop jeans in the freezer for a day or two to freshen them up, but gotta admit, haven't tried it tho 🤔 The trick with Dylon is great. I do that every now and then
the next time you’re in the states, you should check out imogene and willie - Nashville TN based denim brand (also have shops in LA and Portland OR). beautiful denim!
I’m beyond late, but you have the exact same waist size as me and I’m so thankful because lately I’ve been looking at some Levi jeans and wondering what waist size I should get. This video was extremely helpful, and I absolutely adore you for it :D
Hi, I know this might sound silly but do you buy your Levi's directly from their website? Everyone I know seems to find theirs in vintage stores but I've never been so lucky to find a pair that fit properly.
There's a big difference between vintage levis and current levis. Vintage levis are awesome, but they are essentially mens jeans and that's how they fit. Denim technology had evolved as have the levis brand and now they create awesome styles for women. Sometimes I buy from the levis site but as I mentioned I tend to buy most of my levis from the States when I visit because they're so much cheaper 👌🏼
Good Sunday morning from Virginia, Miss Emma. Another happy Sunday, to wake up to an Emma Hill video! A cup of strong coffee and pen and paper in hand, and all is good. Love you Miss Emma!! Hope you loved your trip to my homeland! Je suis Canadien.
Julia Troncoso Levi’s are not worth the money. Save your cash for an actual premium brand or buy a vintage pair of Levi’s- before they started being made in Asia.
Hi Emma. Just a quick question about the Levi's 501 CT. I bought them recently and sized down 2 sizes. The were pretty tight when I tried them on (I even checked if I could sit in them 😂) but I find they give quite a lot. Within an hour they fit more like a boyfriend jeans 😕 What are your experiences? Thanks in advance!
I have a couple pairs of premium denim, but I'm always scared of washing them b/c i'm scared the wash will fade out, they will stretch, etc. How do you come about maintaining their shape, and how often do you wash them?
Great video! I also love that real jeans-feeling when I buy jeans, and lately i've bought two pairs from Weekday! (I think they just launched in London aswell?) Great price, great quality and very good fit. Look especially for the style "way", they are similar to levis 501. Big hugs!
Emma you should try freezing some of your high end denim to get rid of bacteria instead of washing them. Denim isn’t meant to be washed unless if you want to intentionally wear in some raw denim :) (I got my knowledge from a textiles course I’ve taken) / love the video though and your content 💕 I’m trying to update my wardrobe and invest more and this video really shows what investing in pieces can get someone!
Somara Son I actually barely wash my denim, it’s only if I get them dirty which having 5 dogs can happen 🙈 I have heard of the freezer trick before but it just wouldn’t be possible for me because our freezer is tiny and we have so much meat in there for the dogs that there’s never any free space 🙈
Yeah I actually thought of that while writing the comment haha! I don't freeze my jeans either, I live in NYC and have a tiny little fridge. Happy New Year btw! :)
Thanks so much for this video Emma, it was super helpful and informative, and obviously very funny as usual 😁 Thought it was just my husband who did lunge tests in new trousers 😂😘
I didn't because they're old and they changed the denim in their newer version so they're not as nice and if I talked about a pair you can't actually buy then I know people would kick off 😂
I'm only really good at knowing what suits my own body shape and my legs are pretty shapeless 😂 or stick-like as my mum calls them. And I never give recommendations that I haven't tried and tested myself so I'll open this up to anyone else that can help...
501 high rise super skinny’s are my favourite. I just wish all the Levi’s washes were created equal I find some don’t feel as thick as others. I guess it’s that way so they can cater to everyone . The key with Levi’s is to try and try and try again until you find which style and size works best for you.
I'm way too late for this. Interesting video, I feel like I'll have to look into Levi's. My favourite jeans so far are some Ralph Lauren black, high-waisted skinny jeans with white stitching. They'd been about £140, but I got them for 30 quid in the John Lewis sale a couple of years ago. I was very, very doubtful about them because I didn't think I'd like anything skinny, but they're not extremely skinny. I got them in a US 10 (UK 14?) and they are so comfy. They do have a bit of stretch so I can eat without worrying that my waist will be cut in half. I'm 5'3 and they're a perfect length for me.
Great video..... Levi’s are my go to for denim. I also love Hudson, Paige, and Frame. Premium denim is definitely worth the investment, better quality and will last for years 👌🏽😍
Hi Emma, I was wondering why you didn't review your H&M jeans because you seem to have many and I am curious about what you think of them :) Anyway I'm gonna try a few pairs of what you recommend ! Thanks !
I loved this video. Now, I have, what some would call, a Kardashian bum 👍 but with a lot more dimples 👎🤣 and I'm only about 5.4". Would any of the cheaper priced jeans suit my 'bubble butt'(it really isn't as big as Kim's, but it's a good sticky out butt) or would you recommend a different shape jean? X
I wouldn't know I'm afraid Sally, sorry. I'm only really good at finding what suits my own body shape and as I don't have much of a butt I wouldn't want to say that something would fit a fuller bum if I haven't got the results to confirm 🙊
You should really try Madewell jeans, it's a US brand and omg they make awesome jeans, straight leg, boyfriend and all, great high quality... I literally bought 4 pairs when I was in the US! Love the video by the way 😘
I did try some on when I was shopping in the Grove in LA back in June but I wasn't a fan I'm afraid. I didn't like them enough to buy them in comparison to the other brands I wear. But it's all down to body shape and what works for some might not work for others I guess x
Hello I am a bit on the petite size, I recently cut off the ends of my black GRLFRND jeans. Yours look so good in you with the cropped length, I sort of regret cutting too much off. Do you have any tips about length and what is a flattering length? Thank you!!❤️
It really depends on your own style, shape and preference. Mine changes throughout the seasons - in summer may sway toward cropped but winter definitely longer. ❤️
I love jeggings 😂😂 Thats what i wear the majority of the time. I have yet to find a denim that fit my short leg/waist size. Side question, have you tried the 'farleigh' jeans from asos?
Also, I know exactly what you mean by the 501s being tight on the calves! I suffered quite a while until my 501s finally wore in. Recently I got a pair that had 1% elastane in them and a lighter wash. They’re loads more comfortable! Also, I found the inseam is key! It seems as though the shorter inseam the nicer the fit.
Superb video! Thank you - the only thing is I would've really liked you showing the jeans with sneakers, since thats what I (and i assume most people) usually wear with my jeans. It would've given a more clear view of what the jeans does for your legs and bum since heels always make every kind of pants look better / more flattering. X
You've done it Emma - You have finally converted me into straight leg jeans!! LOOVVEEEE this video! So happy you're not leaving us hanging whilst you are across the pond living it large xxx
Honestly this is the best jeans video that I have ever seen! Also you are the first person that I have ever seen that has been able to show me the proper way to cuff a non tapered hem.

Emma! love this video - we're just the same shape and I agree with the styles, fits, cuffs, etc. Well done!
Great video👍🏼....so if you could only have one pair of jeans which ones would you go for... ? 🍁🍂👖👖😘😘
Levis 501's
Looove your denim collection and I can swear by a good pair of Levi’s they are the best!🙌🏼
Awesome information!!! You covered all the details so well. I had to chuckle at the face you made regarding Jeggings because I couldn't agree more! 😂 We'll done!
yessss! you are reading in my mind. tip for cuffing jeans with wider leg is what i wanted, thanks
Fabulous video Emma. Thank you for sharing your denim wisdom. Queen of Denim!
I've been waiting for this! Thanks for all your tips, need to get myself a pair of Levi's! ❤️
Emma! This is absolutely fab. Question for you though, did you alter the light 501 CTs? I love the fit on them they're stunning x
Nope that's just how they came, the 501 CT's come in so many different styles which is why I love them 🙌🏼
That first topshop jean is GORGEUS! I need them but guess what in my country there is not topshop. I am literally sad right now.
You make EVERYTHING entertaining!! Need some Levi’s in my life now!
Yes you do! Haha :) and the patch that is on the pants is vegan too now
Love love love!! I have a question regarding finding the right jeans for me...I’d say my waist is a 10 but my legs are a 12 and I just can not find jeans to fit me at all.

Hello there! Loved this video but you didn't mention the size you ordered in the Paige Sarah Straight jean...I am considering ordering a pair and need to know if they are true to size or, if I should size up or down and if they shrink at all after the wash?
Sorry about that, I think Simon cut it out in his editing 🙊 I got true to size in those x
Thank you so much for your reply :)
Hi Emma. Great video! One question: How do you clean your black denim jeans? I've been wearing black jeans for many years now, and I hate that they loose so much colour when washing them in the machine - so any good advice or tips?
I wash them inside out and on a colder wash which seems to help with reducing any fading. x
Ok, thanks! :-)
Really informative video, thank you.

They all look great on you! I’ve tried a few straight leg as usually wear skinnies but most as I’m 5ft 5 are too long and don’t work well! Maybe need to find some in a shorter leg will try the Topshop ones but the Levi’s Ct looked too long on me x
Yep definitely try some of the brands that offer the different leg lengths, Topshop, ASOS etc x
Amanda Dyke Levi's will shorten their jeans for you for free in store, I believe it doesn't matter where or when you initially bought them. I had my wedgies straight shortened.
have you ever tried & other stories jeans, bdg axyl jeans and asos farleigh jeans?
Babe loved it so much that I watched it twice already
Such an amazing collection! You really do have the best style
You made me invest in the Dr Denims this summer... totally worth it and look great on the bum! Thank you xx

PishTosh83 I used to use Dylon to bring black jeans back to life, you could try that.

Great jeans 👖 collection .....did you ever count how many you had? A blazer/coat collection would be good too 😊
I have just over 50 pairs including my summer denim 🙈

Good Sunday morning from Virginia, Miss Emma. Another happy Sunday, to wake up to an Emma Hill video! A cup of strong coffee and pen and paper in hand, and all is good. Love you Miss Emma!! Hope you loved your trip to my homeland! Je suis Canadien.
That was great!!! Especially loved the brand's breakdown. Might need to drop all my money on Levi's soon haha
Julia Troncoso Levi’s are not worth the money. Save your cash for an actual premium brand or buy a vintage pair of Levi’s- before they started being made in Asia.
Hi Emma. Just a quick question about the Levi's 501 CT. I bought them recently and sized down 2 sizes. The were pretty tight when I tried them on (I even checked if I could sit in them 😂) but I find they give quite a lot. Within an hour they fit more like a boyfriend jeans 😕 What are your experiences? Thanks in advance!
Rosalie Prins yep they give a lot, that’s why I always size down in Levis 👍🏼
Emma Hill Thanks! I'll size down even more next time and try the shrinking technique for now.
Yeeeeessss, no where near enough people talk about Dr Denim, absolutely SWEAR by them 👏🏻👏🏻
This video is like a Bible, thank you Emma :)
Your expression when you said 'jeggings' ... priceless 😭😭
The Levis 311 is such a beautiful jeans, definitely my current favourite in my collection! Have you tried the Levis Line 8?
I tried one pair but I wasn't as sold on them as my other Levi's. For me first impressions with denim are everything, they get one chance with me 🙊
Loved this video! Such a great set up. What size did you get in the Florence Asos jeans?
Waist 28, length 34 x
Your content is freaking awesome. Amazing review.. thank you!!! Lucky to have a Levi's outlet close by.. about $40-$60CAD a pair. must go have a look!
Oh I do love a good Levi's outlet 😉🙌🏼
I have a couple pairs of premium denim, but I'm always scared of washing them b/c i'm scared the wash will fade out, they will stretch, etc. How do you come about maintaining their shape, and how often do you wash them?
Try not to wash them unless you absolutely have to, then wash inside out and on a cold setting. Its the hot settings that will strip the colour x
Emma omg been waiting for this one!!! I am such a jeans lover, thank you so much for sharing! Loved it😍
Great video! I also love that real jeans-feeling when I buy jeans, and lately i've bought two pairs from Weekday! (I think they just launched in London aswell?) Great price, great quality and very good fit. Look especially for the style "way", they are similar to levis 501. Big hugs!
Emma you should try freezing some of your high end denim to get rid of bacteria instead of washing them. Denim isn’t meant to be washed unless if you want to intentionally wear in some raw denim :) (I got my knowledge from a textiles course I’ve taken) / love the video though and your content 💕 I’m trying to update my wardrobe and invest more and this video really shows what investing in pieces can get someone!
Somara Son I actually barely wash my denim, it’s only if I get them dirty which having 5 dogs can happen 🙈
I have heard of the freezer trick before but it just wouldn’t be possible for me because our freezer is tiny and we have so much meat in there for the dogs that there’s never any free space 🙈
Yeah I actually thought of that while writing the comment haha! I don't freeze my jeans either, I live in NYC and have a tiny little fridge. Happy New Year btw! :)
Love denim& love your video ❤️
HI thanks for the video! What size did you get for Asos florence jeans? Thanks x
Thanks so much for this video Emma, it was super helpful and informative, and obviously very funny as usual 😁 Thought it was just my husband who did lunge tests in new trousers 😂😘
Did you mention your H&M jeans? I love their straight leg jeans.
I didn't because they're old and they changed the denim in their newer version so they're not as nice and if I talked about a pair you can't actually buy then I know people would kick off 😂
I‘ve ordered 2 pairs of jeans on Asos and said to me I could only keep one, because i have so much denim. You made me keep both pairs 😂
Love your collection! You need to try &other Stories jeans, too! They are just amazing!😍👖
I do have a pair but I couldn't feature all my jeans in one video as I have well over 50 pairs 🙈
Loved this video. Love Demin. Now to shop for a few more pairs!
Thanks for another great video! For those of us with more athletic figures (big thighs), do you have any straight leg jean suggestions?
I'm only really good at knowing what suits my own body shape and my legs are pretty shapeless 😂 or stick-like as my mum calls them. And I never give recommendations that I haven't tried and tested myself so I'll open this up to anyone else that can help...
501 high rise super skinny’s are my favourite. I just wish all the Levi’s washes were created equal I find some don’t feel as thick as others. I guess it’s that way so they can cater to everyone . The key with Levi’s is to try and try and try again until you find which style and size works best for you.
Totally agree x
Not like jegginggsssss LOL have you ever bought from madewell? I heard their jeans are nice but would love to know your thoughts!
I tried them whilst shopping in LA earlier this year but I wasn't a fan x
I'm way too late for this. Interesting video, I feel like I'll have to look into Levi's. My favourite jeans so far are some Ralph Lauren black, high-waisted skinny jeans with white stitching. They'd been about £140, but I got them for 30 quid in the John Lewis sale a couple of years ago. I was very, very doubtful about them because I didn't think I'd like anything skinny, but they're not extremely skinny. I got them in a US 10 (UK 14?) and they are so comfy. They do have a bit of stretch so I can eat without worrying that my waist will be cut in half. I'm 5'3 and they're a perfect length for me.
Great video..... Levi’s are my go to for denim. I also love Hudson, Paige, and Frame. Premium denim is definitely worth the investment, better quality and will last for years 👌🏽😍
Hi Emma, what are your thoughts on the quality and fit of H&M jeans?
as always you are right on point, i was just looking to extend my jean collection !
Hi Emma, I was wondering why you didn't review your H&M jeans because you seem to have many and I am curious about what you think of them :) Anyway I'm gonna try a few pairs of what you recommend ! Thanks !
only because of the length of the video, I didn't want it to be too long. if you have any questions let me know. x
I loved this video. Now, I have, what some would call, a Kardashian bum 👍 but with a lot more dimples 👎🤣 and I'm only about 5.4". Would any of the cheaper priced jeans suit my 'bubble butt'(it really isn't as big as Kim's, but it's a good sticky out butt) or would you recommend a different shape jean? X
I wouldn't know I'm afraid Sally, sorry. I'm only really good at finding what suits my own body shape and as I don't have much of a butt I wouldn't want to say that something would fit a fuller bum if I haven't got the results to confirm 🙊
Worth a shot 😋 Thank you for finding the time to reply.
Yessss to this! What a fab denim collection! X
❤️! I just can't get enough! And thank you for clearing your mirror for us. You're the real MVP( My favorite Vlogger)!!!!! ✌🏽️❤️
Hey Emma, love your collection. Did you shot this video with 35 mm lens? :)
No it was a zoom lens x
Thx for info about Levis jeans! I wanted to buy one and now I know which one.
Hey Emma! Love this vid! Where is your T-shirt from? Xoxo
All details in the description box x
Absolutely loved this video, i love denim i was in heaven. Thanks Em x
LOVE the new hair Emma!!!
Thank you for this great and informative video. I love denim and I am updating my collection. I now have some great new brands to try!
You should really try Madewell jeans, it's a US brand and omg they make awesome jeans, straight leg, boyfriend and all, great high quality... I literally bought 4 pairs when I was in the US! Love the video by the way 😘
I did try some on when I was shopping in the Grove in LA back in June but I wasn't a fan I'm afraid. I didn't like them enough to buy them in comparison to the other brands I wear. But it's all down to body shape and what works for some might not work for others I guess x
Really need to know who the tee is by that you're wearing and what size to order. Pls and ty! XX
I wrote everything in the description box 🙈
I loved this so much! Thank you for making this!
I absolutely love my GAP and Zara jeans!!
Hi, do you know the color and the length of the Levi's 501 ct jeans? :-)
Hello I am a bit on the petite size, I recently cut off the ends of my black GRLFRND jeans. Yours look so good in you with the cropped length, I sort of regret cutting too much off. Do you have any tips about length and what is a flattering length? Thank you!!❤️
It really depends on your own style, shape and preference. Mine changes throughout the seasons - in summer may sway toward cropped but winter definitely longer. ❤️
I love jeggings 😂😂 Thats what i wear the majority of the time. I have yet to find a denim that fit my short leg/waist size.
Side question, have you tried the 'farleigh' jeans from asos?
Yep I have, I had one pair that I used to like last year but then they changed the denim and now I hate the new ones 😕
Thank you! Now I know to stay away. You've become my denim bible guide now.
Topshop Jamie's are good for small waists and short legs
This is really helpful, all the jeans look great on you X
im glad you found it helpful. x
@emmahill have you tried the 501 skinny jeans if so how would you say the sizing compares to re/done?
I did order a pair but I sent them back, they were too tight and stiff on my calves (and I don't have big calves), didn't feel at all comfortable 😖
😆 thanks for the reply! Love your channel! I really love those re/done jeans on you😍😍! I want themmmm!
Also, I know exactly what you mean by the 501s being tight on the calves! I suffered quite a while until my 501s finally wore in. Recently I got a pair that had 1% elastane in them and a lighter wash. They’re loads more comfortable! Also, I found the inseam is key! It seems as though the shorter inseam the nicer the fit.
I wish to see an updated 2019 version of this.
There is an updated denim video already on the channel from a couple of weeks back 👍
Posted the comment prior to seeing the updated video 😁. Saw it and loved it as well ♥️
Thanks a lot for this video !!! I love jeans too !! Can you tell me how tall you are please ? I'm 1,73m but I've got long legs .. :(
I'm 5'9 with a 34" inside leg x
Thanks for your ideas n advice..... It's really helpful...
Emma, Do you have any style tips for Kick Flare jeans? Thanks x
As in cropped ones?
Yes!!
Superb video! Thank you - the only thing is I would've really liked you showing the jeans with sneakers, since thats what I (and i assume most people) usually wear with my jeans. It would've given a more clear view of what the jeans does for your legs and bum since heels always make every kind of pants look better / more flattering. X
thank you. I wear jeans and trainers fairly often in my vlogs so you can check some Inspo there. x
absolutely love your style😗 i am gonna buy Zara one haha
