A quick note: The issue with top shop sizing is a side effect of fast fashion. They don't have consistent sizing bc they outsource the production to different parts of the world who then use their own template/models when manufacturing the clothing piece. The denim material (unsanforised) & the stitching method used for the twist in the & other stories jeans. Ultimately, the same reason for the sizing for top shop, fast fashion. The brand loses the ability to create a quality product if they outsource the manufacturing process to different countries.
FYI: It's also a good way to tell if you're buying fast fashion for those who aren't familiar with company names/company umbrellas/groups, this can be confusing to some of us who aren't spending massive amounts of time researching. I use this bit of knowledge as a cheat when I shop in an attempt to avoid fast fashion to the best of my abilities anyway.
Great review as always Lizzy. You buy it & review it so we don't have to. ;)
TheQUBANQT also recommend the app good on you. you can search nearly any brand and get a quick overview of their production, sustainability, and ethics.
This is super interesting!!
Oh hell yes, this is the kind of rambling, immersive content that I love to tuck myself into bed with. Perfect timing.
HAHAHAHA this made me laugh. Just the ticket to send you off to sleep 😂😂
Lizzy Hadfield there’s nothing more calming than a bit of shared sartorial neuroticism
Would you ever consider doing a video on your fitness? A week in workouts would be super interesting
Ok now I dont know her workout routine but mine is as follows..dark chocolate milk bar hah.
The ribcages do come in other lengths. You can search for “full length” ones. I have the opposite problem though, I’m 5’1” and the cropped ones fit like full length jeans on me!
Hi Lizzy! For testing basics, how would you feel about collaging all your cutaways next to each other at the end of the video so we could see the side by side comparison? :)
My tip for the levi’s: I wear knee socks by Falke underneath them so that there’s no weird gap! If you pair black boots with black or dark grey knee socks it looks really chic and keeps you warm! And in Germany they do offer them in different lenghts online :)
I do the same!
Same here.
Top tip, love my Falke x
Mareeen14 I have short legs so on me they are just on the ankle. Oddly enough, the black wash are just that bit longer!
Ok wowowow, this is the content we needed but never deserved (side note: what is that jumper you’re wearing with the everlane jeans, I neeeed it)
Hi Lizzy, thanks for the epic video. I get that Weekday make really affordable and great looking jeans but they are all manufactured in countries that are notorious for poor working conditions. I think this should influence the purchasing decision more than pricing (especially if the difference is 10-20£). I feel like fashion bloggers never talk the actual countries clothes are manufactured in and a lot of viewers will watch this video and go out and purchase a pair of Weekday jeans, when maybe they should be purchasing the Everlane ones. Hopefully this doesn't come across as overly negative.
Excellent comment, thank you. :)
Hej :) just wanted to add that how it is produced has nothing to do with the pricing. Everlane and arket are slightly better than the others but aren’t really sustainable when it comes to it. Please don’t let yourself get fooled that high price = better quality = higher manufacturing standards. Neither the conditions for workers nor environmental standards are better because of pricing 🙆🏼♀️
in general, re-done is just too expensive for what it is. they’re really nice clothes, and they sell amazing basics all in one place, but i always wait to see what they put in their sale on black friday/cyber weekend. got a graphic tee for €44 instead of 100-and-something and some shorts for ~80 instead of like 150. not very wintert but oh well 😂
L Ll I did the same thing!
you have to keep in mind that they’re an ethical and sustainable company. fast fashion pricing has really skewed how we see prices, but clothes shouldn’t be as cheap as they are in fast fashion stores. think about the people making your clothes, if you’re paying $5 for a shirt, how much do you think the person that made it got paid?
ina sweeney i know that. and yet there‘s ethical brands that don‘t charge you that much for jeans, or 110$ dollars for a cottol tee 🤷🏻♂️
How's the quality? Just bought some jeans and was so tempted to get a muscle tee and a tank top but they are so expensive! just want to make sure if i ever decide on getting them, they are worth and will last a lifetime haha
This video was A LOT of work! You seriously don’t understand how much we appreciate you doing this. You were so in depth and I really really liked that you did check in’s after wearing them for a few days at a time. I can’t say it enough! WELL DONE!!
I really appreciate your commitment to the Testing Basics videos! They have helped me so much when it comes to finding new basics to my closet. I must say I am so very surprised that Levi's doesn't do more lengths, but have to check those jeans out - I'm short so they will probably be the perfect full length on me 😂.
I absolutely LOVE watching you talk about jeans. You have the best styles with jeans! Where is you sweater from?
Random commenter here. If you're asking about the first sweater, I think it's the alpaca blend cardigan from & Other Stories
Amazing video, I love a straight leg & bloody love hearing you talk about jeans. Thanks for all your work!
I’ve come back to this video 3 times already. Every time some influencer swears that some jeans are worth $250 and I feel sad because I just can’t justify that expense on my budget, I come back to Lizzy’s logic. There’s a sweet spot for influencers in terms of their effectiveness at “influencing” and Lizzy nails it.
This makes me so excited for the Everlane Cheekies that are currently en route to me! I've also tried ReDone and was disappointed in the fit (the stovepipes). My fave higher end denim are Paige and AG, the fit it always bang on, they wear and wash so beautifully.
The levis are available in different leg lengths in the US so maybe that will be available in the UK soon
They are available in different lenghts in Germany as well :)
Not all styles of the ribcage are offered in different leg lengths. It depends. Levi’s comes out with different styles as often as farmers invent and trademark hybrid apples.
LOVE EVERLANE! I have 3 pairs and I wore them as my uniform for a retail job 5 days a week for a year and they wore so well. They also offer a style called the 90s cheeky rather than regular cheeky and the 90s has no stretch so they are a tad more durable. ❤️❤️
I have worn Topshop jeans for years and have always ordered same size online. Recently they really messed up their length sizing, it is just too short compared to what it was.
itsrenaful I agree. Same problem.
That allegedly 34” leg pair were a joke, I’m afraid and I would be wanting a refund, too.
The Everlane ones look the best in my opinion. Love the color of the denim as well.
i want to buy a pair of straight leg jeans for months, but cant decide where should i buy from. this video is so helpful! thank you 💕
Weird about the Levi’s! I live in the USA and own a pair of “Ribcabe Straight” jeans in a leg 34! Maybe they just don’t offer all the ribcage styles in UK yet? THANK YOU for this video, Lizzy! This must have been so much work and I now have such a good idea of jean brands I want to try in the future after watching this!
In Europe the Ribcage is only available in 27 or 29 length right now. In spring 2019 they hat a "selvedged" version with croped leg in 32 Inch length. It is made of thickest denim of all Levi's I ever saw. They weight more than 800 g.
With high end denim brands like A Golde, Diesel, Rag & Bone, etc. you’re paying for Japanese or Italian denim. With expensive wash techniques.
the best jean review on youtube...can't believe it's taken me so long to find your channel!
Thank you for this excellent video, Lizzie. I just wish I had your figure...but on the plus side the Levis rib cage are long enough (in fact I had to get them shortened) and I agreed they’re brilliant. I also have to recommend Citizens of Humanity jeans. There’s something about their denim and fit that really is worth paying for.
we have the exact same taste in jeans (I own the same stories and everlane and a diff pair of agolde, but the stories ones are still going strong after a year!)
For shorter girls (I’m 5’5), longer jeans aren’t really an issue because you can just get them re-hemmed. I loved the fit of the Arket ones and I had no issue with the leg length because I can just get them tailored.
Lizzy’s testing basics is my absolute bible !! Luckily enough I saw you wearing the seattle jeans and already bought a pair - can confirm they’re such a good denim. Also I recently bought a pair of Agolde Jamie style jeans (straight slightly tapered leg) and I love them so much !! I reckon they can be comparable to the weekday but better quality.
Also can you please tell me where are your jewelleries from in the first part of the video ? They’re gorgeous xxx
You are the best, i am waiting for your straight leg jeans video for month, and now this make my sunday!! You have the best taste of jeans!!!
I was waiting for the video. That was brilliant and I'm so glad that the weekday came first! They are literally the best!
Have a good time in Japan!
1 year ago after watching one of your videos I purchased the Weekday Voyage jeans. They are still my favourite to this day! I also have the Seattle which I wish I would’ve bought a size down because it’s so large in the waist for me :( So I can attest to that! But still a big Weekday jeans fan here💪🏼 thank you for the amazing video again, every time I’m in awe of the amount of effort and thought that goes into these Testing Basics videos.. keep up the great work!
Such a great & informative video! Seriously though, it is crazy that all these brands have jeans that you can fit into! I'm 5'4 and a size 10 with a fairly small waist & big bum and when I say that 1/20 pairs of jeans fit me, I'm not exaggerating. There's always just such massive gaping at the back! I used to work in Levis and had to resort to wearing skirts and dresses on uniform because I couldn't fit any of the jeans properly. When you were saying you wish you had a big bum I was like nope... Lizzy, you do not! Because otherwise this video would have taken years to film purely because finding 10 pairs of jeans that fit would have been such a challenge!
If anyone has any recommendations for jeans for people my size I'd really appreciate it! I have a pair of the Weekday Voyage jeans which I like but they still gape meaning I have to wear them with a belt. Other than that, the only pairs have found that I like are vintage!
You’re so amazing for doing this. Thank you for putting so much work into this video, x
I picked up a pair of the original cheeky straight jeans from everlane last month and I quite like them. They’re like the 90’s ones you got but with a little stretch. I’ve found with the high waist, a tiny bit of stretch is more forgiving when you sit down.
I'm so short, I'm gonna try the Topshop ones haha
I agree with what Lizzie said about the Weekday jeans, they are so easy to wear and fit great! Also really affordable, had a result when buying mine they had a sale on in store and only paid £20 bargain.👍😊
Sooo happy for this video! Worth noting that the Levis ribcage come in full length (in the us and Canada anyway) and they’re to die for. No stretch and so perfect
I really like ASOS own brand jeans and H&M. I have jeans from both that are more than 3 years old and still going strong.
If you look up Everlane and let's say H&M on the Good on You app, H&M is doing better than Everlane. Everlane is not as good as everyone thinks.
I know you probably mentioned your cardigan in the past, but I forget, can you please remind us where it is from? thank you and thank you for all the work put into this testing basics :)
hi lizzy, just wanted to point out that on-screen info or cutaways don't appear when you mention that they will in this video. couldn't really follow along too easily, esp in the re/done segment!
The Seattle jeans I have tried to buy like 10 times already because of you, I think I am a similar size to you that’s why I find it so strange but I couldn’t find any size that’d fit me. I think 25 waist looked fine when I was standing up but when sitting down there was a huge gap between the jeans and my back if you know what I mean, which to me looks super annoying. I tried the smallest size but it was just too small so I ended up with no Seattle jeans and now I’m even more so annoyed that you’ve put them in the first place 😂 oh The Jean Drama
I have the same problem! I've gone for weekday voyage instead, it's a bit wider through the leg but still great I think
I agree with Pernilla! If you have a somewhat smaller waist-wider hip situation like me then the Voyage will fit better than the Seattle.
Levi's has full length ribcage jeans on Amazon. Great video. Thanks!
Yay! Thank you for doing this! So nice to see the jeans I’m interested in on someone around my height/leg length. Seriously don’t know how brands can get away with advertising all these different leg lengths that are not accurate whatsoever 😫 I’m ordering tall 34” because I’m tall! Not 34” only to receive 28” capris!
Thank you so so much Lizzy the commitment to this video is insane! Love Weekday already and you’ve made me want to try more of their styles xx
Amazingly detailed Lizzi you did a fab job, thank you for all your effort xx
I bought Levi’s 501 Skinny and Ribcage, both in waist 27. A tape measure around my waist measures 28-29”. The 501’s fit perfectly, with breathing room, whereas I couldn’t even button the Ribcage. Sucking in as much as possible there was still about 1.5cm gap. I’ve been trying for a week to exchange the 27 for a 28, but Levi’s customer service is HORRIBLE (my size isn’t available in the exchange menu even though it’s in stock online).
Ahh, I've been so excited for this episode! I actually have the Agolde and the Levi's (I also used to own the Everlane pair), and I had similar thoughts on those. The denim on Agolde is really good, but not enough to justify spending so much more when there are other high street jeans with a better fit.
Through the video talked about leg length and how certain pairs would be good for people with a certain height. One thing I want to add to this is that knowing your inseam measurement is super important. I'm 5'5," but I have long legs and a 30" inseam, so I tend to have a hard time finding jeans that aren't too cropped.
The Arket and Weekday pairs will be my next jeans purchases--so good!
I'm plus size and I don't think very many of these brands do plus size but I still really loved this video! If you ever wanted to do a part two or a different fit of jeans I could think of at least 10 brands I'd love to see you test but I think that would have to be a while from now because you're probably worn out from denim testing. I cannot believe how awful some of the fits were 😂 Looks wise my favorite were the & Other Stories but I'm partial to a lighter wash so that's probably a big part of it. My two favorite brands for plus size denim, in case any other plus size ladies out there see this, are Warp + Weft and they have a really good selection of washes and style and the other is more new to me and it's DL1961 but their plus size selection isn't as good but the fit is much better (they're both not cheap or affordable though, Warp + Weft is around the $100 mark for most of their jeans and I think DL1961 might be over $150).
I love these videos, so helpful especially for online shopping when you can't go and try on the pair of jeans in person. Cheers Lizzy! X
Hi Lizzy, if you do another version of this I would suggest Grlfrnd, Slvrlake, Eve Denim and Citizens of Humanity for high end jeans. Given the resurgence of 70's style and therefore wide leg and flares, and also realising those may not be your favourite styles, it would be great to see a Testing Basics on such styles. xo
imagine putting on a pair of jeans and it actually fits thighs and waist
Thara Lawson 🤣 this comment made me laugh out loud for reals in a cafe, this is so on point! X
@@sarahbrowne2532 😂😂😂
Agolde and citizen of humanity are the only ones that fits perfectly with no gap. Levi’s is horrible horrible for that.
Just imagine
Agolde is really expensive in the UK. They usually sell for $188 USD which is def not 240 British pounds. The Agolde 90s fit is really good on athletic build body types and those with curves
This was so helpful and interesting Lizzie!! Thank you so much for taking the time to film all of this and share your experience 💗
I have a darker wash of the Uniqlo ones and the are fantastic they hold much like the other stories just knee a bit but the fit is 👌🏻 plus they alter the length for free (i am 5'3)
This is an incredibly helpful video! Been wanting to buy a new pair of jeans, but have been waiting for your video!!
Wish I had your figure! They all look amazing on you.
The ribcage come in 2 lengths and they also do a ribcage "full length" which come in a 32 and 34 leg, in the US anyway! x
I had the same freaking problem with topshop leg lengths, thought I was absolutely crazy. Sucks because those jeans are perfect in every other way!!
I’ve gone back to reference this video so many times! Just got the Levi’s (I’m 5’6”) and I actually wish they were an inch shorter so they should definitely do different lengths.
This was a really great and informative video, thank you Lizzy!! 😊Will for sure go check out the ones you recommended next time I go jeans shopping👌🏼
Phew !! Well done, what a superb review and evaluation - great job. We're ever so grateful you did it so we didn't have to. Stay warm and well. Happy festive season ; - )
The Levi's Ribcage do come in 2 leg lengths- 27 & 29! The link you've posted has them. I tried them on recently and agree, the shorter length is 1000% better!
Watched & enjoyed your video so yesterday I ordered a pair of the Weekday Seattle jeans in black. They were down to £20 on ASOS. So worth a try. Arrived at lunchtime today. Perfect fit. Thanks.
I think someone else has mentioned in the comments already but the Levi’s rib cage come in different lengths and leg styles too. I know they have a wide leg, flare and even a split leg one. I noticed that the product assortment differed a lot on the Levi’s website depending on what country you were in.
This is a really informative video. Thank you for sharing!
The Levi’s rib cage ones do come in different leg lengths now, I recently got mine in W26 L27 (good for short people too!)
really enjoy these videos, so interesting to watch 💗💗
Hi Lizzie, I wonder if you would consider doing a different kind of Testing Basics where you would find the best option for people with a different body type. I feel like for you it often comes down to the fit and the style you're going for but if we're being really honest, because you fit into the current beauty standards, most items of clothing will fit you anyway, but finding the perfect straight leg jeans would be more challenging for shorter/curvier people for example. With your input, we can get an idea of what brand would be the better quality, but it's still hard to imagine what fit would suit different body types best.
Violette (violette_fr) did this recently to find the perfect white tshirt and I thought it was really helpful. Just an idea!
Patricia L this is a brilliant suggestion! I’m short and pear shaped and already know the Seattle jeans sadly don’t work for me (after trying from Lizzy’s previous recommendation)!
Same here, Weekday jeans didn’t fit me at all. I have a curvier figure. Try the Levi’s ribcage, they’re amazing on me, flattering and comfortable.
I think the idea is great but her body is not curvy or short and she probably doesn’t know the struggle to find jeans for different body types. She only knows the struggle for her own body type. She’s really helpful when it comes to quality, fabric, wash etc. It’s not really realistic for her unless she has friends with different body types that are willing to test clothes with her. It would be better to find a youtuber or bloggger with your body type if you want to know the fit.
@@serenity8910 I personally have a body type that's similar to Lizzy's, I just thought it would make her series more appealing to a broader audience -- it's harder work for sure because it would mean enlisting the help of a friend willing to be filmed, asking to borrow clothes from brands etc. but it might be worth it
Where is your cardigan from in the beginning?
&other stories :) www.stories.com/en_eur/clothing/knitwear/cardigans/product.wool-blend-cardigan-brown.0637856006.html
Ah, you’re an absolute star - thank you for this Lizzy. My favs were the Levi’s, I’m a shortie - veryyy tempted... 🤩 xx
Great video Lizzy - you put so much effort in. I'm 501 vintage levi's all the way - I think my fave ones are actually mens ones that I tapered the leg in on slightly as they were very straight leg and I prefer a bit of a taper as I'm shorter
Those Levi's Ribcage must be the cropped version. I have a pair of the Ribcage Straight jeans in leg 29, I'm 5'9 and they are not short at all! They fit perfectly
Thank you so much for this video!!!!! I own one pair of jeans because I've put off buying them for so long, so it's way past time to buy another pair...
Amazing video! Thank you for all the work you put into it. Would you consider collaborating with someone with a different body type for videos like this? I know the everlane jeans don't work for me (small waist, bigger bum, so some jeans are just really uncomfortable in the crotch or just aren't flattering). I know this would be EVEN MORE work, but it would be extremely helpful!
I've been waiting for this video for SO LONG!! Love you
wow, how much I needed this video!! I ordered the straight leg jeans from topshop two days ago and curious to see how it fits me once they arive! But defitnitely going to look at the Weekday jeans, they look great. The Levi Ribcage look gorgeous too, very flattering. Hope the lenght will work for me!
Love this🙌🏻Live & work with denim! Levis do 2 leg length in ribcage( 27/ or 29) and its meant to be a bit cropped. And the newest are super long(raw denim) I’m a tall girl( Lindsey’s height) ❤️
Love Agolde denim 🙌🏽
Ok I'm convinced that I need the everlane ones
ive never in my life subscribed as fast as i did rn
Where is the first grey sweater from? The really over sized one, I love it
I recently grabbed a pair of distressed ribcage jeans for black friday in a length 32 and they were super long despite my being 5'10. Luckily they were a raw hem so I trimmed them shorter myself, but I feel as though the cropped style is a bit too cropped and the longer style are a bit too long for most people.
the Uniqlo jeans in the darker wash seem to have less elastane in them or something, because they give much, much less than the lighter ones. I have the dark blue pair and they feel like such expensive denim, but my friend has multiple pairs in lighter washes and they all give at the waist and knee. don't know why they're different aside from inconsistent production but they are!
What is the perfect shade of dark blue to always look put together and expensive?
Royal blue or navy (shrugs)
Jeans in a solid dark wash look the most polished
There is no such thing? Dark could be anything depending on the brand but you said - the answer is dark blue but there’s no “universal”
I love this video I’ve lost quite a bit of weight over the last couple months and I’m always on the lookout for nice jeans I love the levis ribcage I have w26 but there a little too big so might try them in a 25 or the everlane ones
Hey i work for Levi's and you can get the wide leg version of the ribcage jean in a 32 and 34 length! They're just as nice of a fit too xox
May I ask where the cream turtleneck from the very end of the video is from??
I’d love to know this too- great basic! Ace video by the way, thank you, Lizzy! X
I believe it’s Tory Burch x
Super helpful video! Two questions: 1) Where is your cardigan from? And 2) do you think you could put your measurements in the description box or something? Most of the jean reviews on YT are done on people with a way straighter or curvier figure than I am, and measurements would help me gauge what the fit would be on me.
I love testing basics, wondered if you could add in the range of sizes that the brands you test have in the pieces tested? X
Great video :-D I am 168 cm tall (5.5/5.6 i think) and i like my jeans to crop a bit (not a lot) and I have such a difficult time finding a pair that is made for my hight or have my leg length. I think most brands make jeans for women who are quit tall. Even weekday. Am I the only one who struggles?
Same! But I get them tailored very often
I live in the US so I'll order some Everlane styles! Thank you! (I know we don't deserve it but could you list your jumpers? Those first oversized ones I want!)
the re-done high rise loose (i think that’s what they’re called) are great tho. kaia gerber wears them a lot. not a fan of the stove pipe’s either.
I would not size up in the rib cage! I wear mine maybe 2-3 times a week, and they really stretched out on me after regular use. Very uncomfortable in the beginning, now absolutely perfect.
I love how you pronounce Arket
This was fantastic! So so helpful. I’m going to try the weekday jeans as I struggle to find the right fit/ cut. Could you consider a what shoes go with what jeans? I struggle with that too 🤦🏼♀️ thank you xx
I love that you didn't buy the redone jeans!!!!
the same thing happened to me with topshop jeans recently. L34 and they were a 28 inch leg when measured. Customer service was pathetic too!!
Loved this video since I'm looking for another pair! Will give the the Levi ones a try since I'm a bit shorter. :)
Wanted to leave a note on the weekday jeans; although their choice is great, they've never lasted me long. I've had three pairs of their 'Way' jeans which al ripped within 6 months. There 'Seattle' jeans lasted me 3 weeks before all of the pockets were really badly torn... My bf has the same experience with their jeans so it's not just me tearing jeans apart. No weekday jeans for me anymore.
Uniqlo straight cut men's from last summer were great! I bought 4 but I do like boyfriend style jeans. Unfortunately they changed the pattern/design for the winter version and they don't fit the same
Have you tried the Weekday Lash jeans? I love them
Whoa. That was intense, Well done. Thank you.
