I love high waist boot cut, dark wash, no rips, no crazy pattern, embellishments, faded parts. The hardest ever to find. Yours look great on you!
you may find this funny BUT...I found some comfy stretch jeans at Walmart in the dark blue wash! They have been stepping up their game lately, and constantly surprise me with some of the things they carry. Also, Old Navy is known for having decent (yet cheap) jeans. I've bought several pair from them.
Those are SO hard to find. I've been looking for months! (At least ones that I can afford!)
Boot cut jeans for me, and dark wash only. The days of low-cut jeans are long behind me, so a higher cut.
I do prefer straight leg, dark wash, they give the illusion of longer legs (I'm 5'4"). However, I fear that my larger derriere make me look like a ice cream cone. A longer, sweater or top can camouflage this a bit. Any tips are appreciates to style a short, roundish figure. My days of 18 y/0 and 100 pounds are not coming back. But I still want to look stylish. Not trendy, just stylish.
Marie Anne you have the most lovely smile 😊! It makes every outfit chic!
I am so happy we can find high waisted jeans of every type! I liked the bootcut of the 2000’s but hated the low rise.
I like high waist straight cut jeans. I’ve actually had jeans altered to improve the fit. Great bonus tip. 😊
Mary- I agree, this is a good jean for me also- with a dark wash.
I like the same type!
Where do you find straight cut jeans?
Would you mind sharing the brand that you like. I always have such a hard time.
Right now I’m loving old navy loose straight WOW jeans. 🌸
My favorite are boot cut jeans. Love the balance they give me with my top part of my body.
I love watching you and your videos! Absolutely fabulous, Marie-Anne Lecoeur! The best style of jeans for me is bootcut because I have more of a pear shape figure and the boot cut with a high waist balances me. With a great pair of pumps or boots and they look great!
Awesome tips! Great advice about trends too. Trends don't matter - it's what looks good on your body. And buying multiples of jeans you love, is something I do too and highly recommend. Thanks Ms. Marie-Anne!
For YEARS I have been searching for the perfect jeans and wearing the wrong kind. I had dismissed boot cut because I am tall and dislike flared pants or jeans......you have totally convinced me I plan to go out and try a pair of boot cut tomorrow! Thank you. I am optimistic......
I have always been a bootcut jeans wearer! I'm 5'2" - 120 lbs with a rectangle shape body and this style balances my body. I have tried skinny jeans but never find ones that don't make me look much larger. Also, I insist on plain pockets... classic's for me💚
I now have 7 pair of jeans (all thrifted) after having not worn jeans for years. I reverted to the look of them and I love them now. I have one pair of bootcut high-waisted in dark grey DKNY.The others are shades of mid to dark blue that include 2 pair Levi 501 and 505. I do prefer the 100% cotton but will wear 1% or 2% elastane. More than that I think compromises the true denim look. I'm petite --5'2" ,thin and a slight pear shape. This was one of your best videos!
I totally agree about the bootcut jeans! I think they are very flattering.
I am 5ft 10ins tall and 34/35" inside leg-a real pain all my life to find jeans long enough (68years old). My best advice to everyone is to get a sewing machine and alter your jeans to fit-Side seams are easy to take in. I am still wearing jeans and love them. Marie-Anne you look fabulous in yours xx Sue UK
Great video Marie-Anne. I love the voice over with you walking in your town in France. Going from your "salon" to the outdoors showing an outfit as you walk is so appealing. Not only do we have a mini travelogue, we see you wearing the jeans you've chosen for your body type! Keep it up, this is a wonderful technique to add spice to your videos!!
Totally agree Carol. I do enjoy seeing the theory being put into practice, great teaching.
@@d18nac Thanks Diana. I like the use of the mannequin, but seeing an outfit in motion is very helpful!
Great advice. Here in the States we see a lot of "funnels" and a lot of articles trying to tell us that cropped skinnies with ankle boots gives us long legs! I agree- the skinny has its uses, but bootcut is so much more flattering to a woman's shape. I like the jeans of NYDJ. They come in every style and color, and have a little bit of shapeware built into their construction.
@@MarieAnneLecoeur So true; it's a trend that just needs to go away. My defining moment was when I saw a photo of me walking away from the camera in skinnies and ankle boots- I thought who is that stumpy little person and it was me! My dark bootcuts make me feel...chic and elegant- and tall!
Thank you very much, Marie-Anne, for your great advice. I like very dark wash, high waisted, straight, or bootcut jeans. They're not easy to find, and I'm still looking! You look wonderful in your jeans; they suit you perfectly. :)
Wonderful advice Marie-Anne. We all need the perfect pair of jeans (or two!) in our wardrobe. I spent years trying to make the trendy skinny jeans suit my pear shaped body. Last year, I gave up and invested in a pair of classic high waisted straight leg jeans and, voila, they really flatter my shape, hold my tummy in and my legs look longer too. I've recently bought a secondhand pair of high waisted boot cut jeans and they look amazing also!!! 💖👌💖
I love dark wash denim, it makes me look slimmer and I like them mid-rise with straight leg.
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Levis do a high rise, or mid straight cut that are uniformedly dark. I have a great pair..try online. I also like the wedgie cut.
I love boot cut. I'm hour glass - no matter what I weigh, my waist is 10 inches from my bust and hip. My big challenge is that I have a very long torso and short legs ( and I am on 5' 2").
Marie-Anne, I’ve tried boot cut jeans over time, but I never like the extra fabric around my legs. I am an Apple 🍎 and just totally prefer high rise straight legs.
Great bonus tip!
Au Revoir!
@@MarieAnneLecoeur instinctively I prefer high-waisted, straight leg. Guess what? I am an apple!
Thank you so much for the truth about buying jeans. You are straight talking funny and most importantly informative!. I am 63 years of age. I have such classic French style wardrobe I should have been born France In a different life time we could have been friends and dine and drink together. Please continue to be your viewers friend. We need you in our lives! Best wishes for 2022!
Bootcut with higher cut. Thanks for another informative video Marie-Anne.
I agree. My first "bootcut" was a Levi's in dark blue ,(and I confess that I bought these pants because they were in sale, at Orlando) ... I used to wear straights... but I noticed it was wonderful in me ! because my shape is a rectangle . Since that occasion... I don't loose time and money buying another shape jeans!!
Really really helpful video about jeans, and well explained, as usually. I am inverted triangle and I can see now clearly, how the bootcut jeans will flatter my shape.
Thank you, Marie Anne!
That frustration sounds familiar to me. I always wear bootcut because I have large calf muscles that I want covered. It drives me crazy because skinnies are so popular. It’s all they seem to sell. Basically, jean colored spandex.
I broke 4 vertebrae in my back so I am a bit shorter than I was, i was already short, My tummy sticks out like I am 4 months pregnant, my innards stick out because they don't have anywhere to go but out, the jeans that fit the best on me are the hip height ones, the higher ones I wear with a belt as they slip down without a belt, I wear tunic tops over them because I don't like showing my tummy or my crotch, I am very happy with all the advice you have given me, you have given me inspiration to go out of my boundaries and try new things, thank you for all your help, regards Hazel from New Zealand xxx
I buy bootcut and when I get a pair I love, I buy at least two. They last forever and as styles change, I’ll still have them.💗 Ty Marie-Anne for empowering me to wear them. I’ve felt odd since skinny jeans became the new ‘in’ and I kept wearing boot cut. I’m an hourglass and I know they don’t look as nice on me as a girl with tiny hips...I feel like a bowling pin😂 I do own a few pairs of skinny jeans tho and I usually wear them with knee high boots-the boots help add width to the leg and add balance for more hourglass look. Great video!💐
Marie-Anne Lecoeur ty💗 I always appreciate the positive reinforcement from your lovely videos💐
I want to walk around in France in bootcut jeans and high heels 😂
My favorite jeans style is exactly what you featured in this video-- so flattering!
My favorite, too, Mary. Problem is: Trying finding them!
Great video and bonus tip! My favourite jeans brands are NYDJ, Eileen fisher, and PAIGE denim. these pants have perfect fit! I prefer Boot cut dark wash for evenings, straight leg mimics the skinny but the leg is straight so it balances out my hips a bit,I own a pair to fit with the tall boots I wear in the colder months, and boyfriend jeans for a more casual weekend look.
I am a rectangle and 58 and am wearing the Everlane skinny jeans and they are so comfortable! Never would I have chosen this style of jean but Everlane has tall in this style of jean and I benefit from that but even without that they are just perfect! Give them a try! Oh they are flattering too:)
Exactly!!!!1000%the truth!!! I bought the same pair of jeans from H&M, perfect for me! Thank you Marie-Anne!
Marie-Anne, you look so chic 😍 Every woman needs a perfect fitting jeans for several occasions. Haven't found mine yet, thanks for the inspiration🙏
@@MarieAnneLecoeur merci beaucoup xx
I like dark wash midrise jeans with a straight leg. I hate distressing- it is so hard to find jeans without distressing!
Levis! Look online. They have loads of non distressed!
Diane, "distressing" seems to be the "in" thing now. Everything is distressed, from clothing to furniture. I don't like it, either.
I have not purchased a pair of Jeans since I turned 50. I’m looking for dark boot cut. Now I will go to H&M. I am only 5’ tall. I have refused the skinny jeans for every reason that you’ve mentioned. Thanks SO much for the recommendation. I’ve been at a loss to know where to begin.
I have inverted triangle body and with several experiences i have learned which pants fit me well and these are so great jeans to my body, but with these explanations i understand why is that. Thank you for your information i have learning so much.
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Thank you 💫
Great video! Thank you for sharing these important tips/advice when looking for the perfect pair of jeans. The High waisted straight cut jeans in dark wash are my favorite type of jeans 👖. Merci Marie-Anne.😊
Bonjour Marie Anne! I am a petite, rectangle, slender. I usually wear skinny jeans. After seeing you in both skinny and boot cut jeans, I need to try boot cut. Great visuals!
Hello Marie-Anne, I also like bootcut with some stretch. However, in autumn and winter I prefer to wear skinny jeans with boots over the top. For me, I don’t like any extra fabric around the knee where the jeans are tucked into the boots, it doesn’t look streamlined.
One problem I have is, no matter how well they fit and even if they are high rise, somehow jeans or trousers always manage to ride down. Not much but it seems every time I get out of a car there I am hoisting them up!
I am a triangle like you, Marie-Anne, so I know the challenges of finding jeans that aren't too big in the hips and thighs. The brands that fit me the best are Vince Camuto (at Dillard's) and Banana Republic's slim through the hips. Most of my jeans are skinnies, but I recently purchased a couple pair of boot cut that are at least at the belly button. I do best in a slightly higher waist to help me look my slimmest even though I'm small and a slight body shape. After wearing skinnies for so many years it's taking my eye some time to become accustomed to how I look in a (not too wide) boot cut. But, it's a nice change instead of my usual skinnies. Depending on which style of jeans I'm wearing helps determine which of my beloved boots I'll wear; ankle or knee boots. Thanks for another great video! Yesterday I went shopping for a small houndstooth, black and (slightly off white) white straight skirt. I found myself asking if Marie-Anne would approve of the shape for my body, the workmanship, the fabric, the print, and the classic style. The answers were all YES!!!! It's all coming together and I love my clothes right now the most I ever have, all while remembering that LESS IS MORE and QUALITY OVER QUANITY.
Definitely straight or boot cut for me! I found a style at Target that fits me really well (tho the rise is lower than I wish). They discontinued them several years ago so I scoured eBay and got myself several more pairs. They all fit perfectly. I will check H&M next time I'm in the city and see if they have your darling jeans for me to try on. I am definitely long in the torso (from belly button to crotch) and hate low rise jeans.
My jean of choice is the skinny. Unfortunately boot cut jeans make me appear squat. My favorite brand is AG jeans. The brand just fits my body so well!! Levi’s are nice but I can’t eat in them!! I need a jean I can enjoy a good meal in!! Love this video!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Smart lady ! Yeah if find the jean that fit you well, why not get more .Thanks for sharing .
Love this video! It’s my favorite from you! I’ve always had trouble getting jeans that look good on my figure. I’ve been wearing skinnies and I’m not satisfied. I am also a rectangle, like you! The next time I shop, I am going to try boot cut jeans. I’ll let you know how I fare. 🙂
This is such a well put together video 👍😊. Explained so well. Practical and real life. Thank you so much. And no kidding when you find the right pair.... buy 2,3 or even 4😊. Also I stick to rebuying those go to jeans. I love my Levi’s. Darker wash., Bootcut always.
Thank you for this! I've been struggling to find well fitting jeans. I'm an hourglass, will look for bootcuts.
Fantastic timing, I will be out jeans shopping this Friday! I'd like to find a pair in black with a subtle boot-cut.
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Will let you know how I get on! :) xx
hi happy new year everybody. I am not a fashion expert but I have bought jeans from M & S several times mainly because I find all the size range . However, the biggest downside with these jeans especially the deep colors is that they fade all the way each time you wash them either by hand or machine. To avoid such cases, read the labels and when it says some color may transfer, it is certain that the jeans will lose color very quickly. Another tip would be to check the fabric composition because if the elastane is high percentage you may need a size smaller.
I like medium to dark wash jeans. I own both skinny and boot. My two faves are Joe's Jeans in Muse (I think?) and Hudson Jeans in Colin-flap. I have had these jeans for well over eight years and they are amazing. What I really love about both of them are how well they have lasted and the quality. The Hudson Jeans have the flap- button back pocket, which help give a little umph to my backside. I am a rectangle.
I avoid low rise jeans as I was mistaken several times in the past as a pregnant woman.
I ❤your theoretical explanation!!!
I wear skinnies or straight. I haven't worn boot cut since the 90's but you've convinced me I need a pair. Your legs look a mile long and gorgeous in yours!
Perfect, and love the location of your walk, 🙂💋
Hi Marie Anne 🌹🌸! I have the following issues with bootcut jeans. One, because I am petite, and hardly any one makes jeans for our height. So bootcut is impossibly long, or I need to get them tailored to my lenth. I don't find that issue with the skinny jeans. Secondly, the skinny jeans I find easier to style. Also super comfy. After years, I have found my most comfortable jeans in Zara to wean me off the tights.
Straight pants are best for me, a petite pear, because they seem to make my legs longer and my hips aren’t accentuated. They have to be high cut jeans, of course. As usual, you look gorgeous, Marie-Anne.
The bootcut style looks amazing on you, Marie-Anne. It’s truly my favorite style. As a short gal, it’s a very chic, lengthening style. Very informative video. Xx💖 p.s...my favorite perfect fitting pair of jeans, I bought four...two dark wash, two other varying shades of mid-wash. 😂
I like my dark blue skinny jeans with black flat long boots, black flat brogues, heeled ankle boots and brown short riding boots. My other favourite is a pair of black cropped flare denims that I love wearing with black courts ... probably should be a no no no outfit but I feel great in them, they fit beautifully and are often my go to jeans... 😬 x
Great tips, thankyou Marie-Anne xxx
good tip, yes, when you find a good pair always buy 2 or 3 pairs, as it is hard to find good fitting jeans ,
I enjoy high waisted boot cut, wide leg and flair leg I'm an inverted triangle body type. I like the Gap, levis and old navy jeans.
👍
Thank you Marie-Anne for a short and sweet but informative video. I prefer high rise jeans to hold my bulges in. I am a pear shape so straight-cut and boot cut are more flattering for me, but I could get away with skinnies if I wear a long flowy top to fake the inverted triangle/ rectangle shape.
I'm a pretty tiny hourglass and pulled my bootcut jeans out of the cupboard to try on after watching this and nearly fell over laughing. Think I will stick with my mid-waisted skinny jeans for a while longer. You looked great in both types of jeans.
Turns out I have a pair of jeans almost exactly like those in the bottom of my drawer that I haven't worn for years since the skinny ones became fashionable. I pulled them and they fit perfectly and I will wear them again! thank you.
LOVE high waist bootcut. Hard to find, but will keep looking. lol
So true from a short inverted triangle. They are so hard to find but a lovely lady on your site on a prior post told me where to find some. However i still always need to have them altered at the hips. Lovely tailor in Melbourne who is Italian. Even though I now live in another state still post items down to them. I buy the size that fits my waist perfectly and then tailor the rest. It does make a difference. So enjoyed your post and would love to know the brand
As you asked for preferences, my jean favorites are dark wash, boot cut or straight/slim leg. I have tried skinny leg jeans and slacks, but I feel like Peter Pan in them and I find compatible tops more limited. I also favor mid rise waists. I love high waisted jeans, but as I am 5’4”, I am not long waisted enough to carry them off. Enjoyed the view of France at the end of your video. Thx for the information
Oh my gosh..."not the roundest peach ever" 😂. I am a pear with a somewhat large "peach"! What a nightmare trying to find jeans!
Laura Ellen...I can't tell what age you are, but I can say we all struggle with our shapes because we're not the "perfect" shape! Find the pair that suits your body type or you'll be miserable because something for another body type doesn't and will never suit you. It took me about 30 yrs to find the store that has jeans for me and I feel great in them (I don't weigh a little, but I'm not a plus size either!).
@@marinazagrai1623 I agree! I recently found a pair of jeans that I feel comfortable in.🤗
I am changing to bootleg!I wear dark skinnies ,high waist and slightly stretchy..All for comfort. My daughters told me to wear skinny because I have skinny legs and it has been hard to find bootlegs that fit without looking too big. I'm 5'5 and 50 kg. My body shape looks identical to yours Marie Anne and your jeans look great! So...guess where I'm going in the next few days!
Thanks again for sharing yourvpearls of wisdom once again.😀
I'm 5 ft so although I love bootcut they can look odd when shortened (even petites need shortening for me). I try to go with straight as skinny jeans are snug on my calf and I don't like that look for my age. Like high rise as they hold it all in.
I love the look with the jacket and scarf. I'd given away my boot cut jeans and got skinny, but they don't fit well now. The jeans I have now (2 pair) are dark have some stretch and flair a bit at the bottom. Very helpful video.
I like to have different styles of jeans for different occasions. I want to add some bootcut jeans to my jean wardrobe or my “ jeandrobe” now. Thank for all of your priceless jean expertise!
I’m a rectangle and I look good in skinny jeans because I have narrow hips and plump butt still … I like boot cut but sometimes I feel short in them . I have to wear heels with it in order to make my legs look longer and I’m for comfort so forget that!
Merci Marie-Anne! I am also a rectangle shape and these jeans are perfect! It,s always good to get 2 pairs when one finds the perfect pair and at affordable prices.. I do that too.🤗 Wishing you a wonderful day! x🍁
Dear Marie-Anne,
Just today I found the perfect jeans that I have been looking for . That’s Bootcut style. I wear only skinny and bootcut Jeans . I m petite and I love jeans that make me look slim n tall. Bootcut makes my legs look longer as you said and holds the muffintop in which is great! I bought one today from (Only)store. I didn’t look at HM . I will surely go n have a look there. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see how you style Bootcuts jeans like what shoes and tops goes well with it . TIA 🙏😘🙏
Thanks for another fabulous video! I am an inverted triangle and mostly wear boot cut. I do, however, wear some skinny (or straight) jeans , cut at the ankle and paired with nude ballet flats or nude/tan sandals. I like this combo in warmer weather months
Hi Marie-Anne. I'm 5 ft 3 and pear-shaped. I like bootcut jeans but most jeans are not sold in the right length for me so I get them cut. Trouble with this is that the width at the bottom gets lost. I prefer them slimmer fit at the thighs and a wider width from the lower knee. I just found a great pair recently so I bought 2. They come in 3 lengths, so I ordered the short length and they have a nice wide waistband which has a slimming effect too.
I like a high waist Jean because I have a high waist and a longer leg. My tip is to go for the Tall range because they have a higher rise. I then get them hemmed to my preferred leg legenth. Gap do a tall range as do Next. I also always go for boot cut as I look rediculos in skinny jeans! Thank you for this helpful video.
boot cut is my favourite, because i have long feet so boot cut with medium heel make my legs longer and my feet nice
I love this video! Thanks to you, I finally found the perfect pair of jeans. I bought a pair of bootcut Levi's 😍 I'm also a rectangle and never thought to try mid-rise bootcut. Thank you!!!
❤️❤️❤️My favorite pair is Boot-leg jeans. I'm 5 ft and it makes me look a little taller.
Wonderful advice to buy 2! I love to see you strut your stuff around your city! I love your savoir faire 😊 I am a pear shape and like straight leg but I will try the bootcut as I am 36 years old and thought they were a bit old fashioned but I will try they look great on you.
Marie-Anne Lecoeur Can I add, I doubt they are old fashioned. Decades ago, do you remember, only one particular style would be in fashion and that’s all you could buy. Everyone wore the same style and every other style just looked plain wrong.
I think all that has changed, otherwise, why would jeans of the same brand be available in such different styles? It’s a good thing too because, if people are going to wear jeans forever, it wouldn’t make sense to produce them only according to whatever is the current trend. Even though we see new jeans trends come and go, people still want their staple style.
Marie-Anne Lecoeur Yes, I understand the problem. I meant, rather than one style of jeans being “the style” for a few years, and every other style looking out of date, nobody looks twice at different jean styles today. At least I don’t think so, maybe I’m wrong!
I haven’t bought jeans from these brands but I’ve seen different cuts in Gap, Boden and Next. That’s not to say they’re a good fit though, I don’t know. Glad you found what you were looking for xx
I like dark wash, straight leg, classic style jeans, no added decorations, spangles, pocket flaps. I’m 5’4, but I feel like boot cut make me look shorter. BUT...there are some brands doing a slight boot cut, and I might try them next. It’s not as wide as a regular boot cut at the bottom. Great video.
Marie-Anne, I’ll try that. Thanks!
i love your videos . i learn so much from you . however, i am a very short woman, a little on the overweight side and i don't think i look good in most jeans which have flared leg bottoms . i think they make me look terrible and shorter than i already am .
@@MarieAnneLecoeur i had a very serious injury to my right foot and ankle . i am unable to wear anything over 1" high . this has been over 10 yrs since the injury . i miss wearing heels . they are just not a part of my wardrobe anymore . thank you for responding .
I have... navy-blue boot-cut jeans! They're currently my only pair of jeans and the one problem I have with them is that they're about two inches too short because I have such long legs (lucky me!), so that's frustrating. I have no idea why women's clothing is sized such that if you get a longer leg, you automatically get a bigger waist. I don't know if there's a branch of Long Tall Sally near me, but I might try there when I need to replace my jeans. Until then, I'll just have to find ways to minimise that slightly too short leg (ironic turn of phrase there, I know! :D)
I was smiling the whole time while watching this video. I used to have a pair of perfect Levi's boot cut Jean's and I wear it all the time, until i.gained a few pounds. Then I kept going back to Levi's stores hunting for the same perfect look, and I thought, they must changed how they make Jean's. It's not the same anymore. To this day, I could not find the same look, that perfect Jean's. I have never tried H&M...thanks for the tip, I will go try their Jean's. I may be in luck this time and will get two:)
I am 5’3” and high waisted jeans are up too high over my belly button. I rather have a mid-low rise, but the boot cut looks the best on me since I have hips at 125 lbs. skinny jeans are very unflattering for me, however they are the best with riding boots which is a very popular look where I live in horse-country. I love your videos & look forward to them, keep up the good work❤️🙏🏽
Thanks for the tips and reasons why different cuts of jeans flatter different shapes! Maybe I will try boot cut, I am 🍐. Also, thank you for showing us some of your French village, so beautiful!
When I was a nice hourglass, I loved Gloria Vanderbilt jeans more than anything! They are made for womanly curves, and don't gap in the back. Now that I have a tummy (bye bye to 24 inch waist after 4 kids...) GV plus sizes still fit me pretty well.
My favourite jeans are slim cut. Not as tight as skinnies but not as loose as straight cut. Luckily I haven't had a problem finding good fitting jeans. I live in the U.K. and usually buy mine from Next or M&S. I do have a couple of pairs from NYDJ an American brand, these are really slimming although a bit more expensive.
My favorite jeans are straight leg or boot cut NYDJ from Macy’s. I buy only the mid rise. They are higher in back and lower in front. Boyfriend jeans are ok too. I can’t wear Levi jeans because in order to fit my hips and thighs the waist is too big. I hate high rise and skinny jeans. I love button jeans but hard to find. I like any color jeans. No rips. Some embellishments is fine if not gaudy. ❤ I am late posting this, It is 2023, as I am watching all your videos I missed because I only started watching utube a year or so ago. 😻😻😻
Dark wash, mid-rise, straight leg or slim boot cut. As a shorty they are always altered.
Hi. If you can do a video about how to find a perfect coat for body shape. I cant find. Thank you
Bonjour, Marie-Anne. I just came across this video, and I couldn't have found it at a more perfect time. Talk about frustration in finding my perfect pair of jeans! I already have a pair of pull-on jean jeggings with a flat front that doesn't add inches to my middle, but I want a pair of boot cuts, too, for the reasons you stated. But, (and this is a big "but"), I need pull-on boot-cut jeans, which are more comfortable due to a surgical scar on my belly that bothers me. I looked everywhere, including our regional mall that has 400 stores (I didn't go into all 400!). Every pair of jeans has a zipper and button. And what passes as "boot cut" often is just wider from the hips to the bottom; they don't have the same taper as the attractive ones you're showing in this video. However, I will check H&M and try on the jeans you're showing; maybe the stretch in the material will be more comfortable. Merry Christmas!
Jeans are so complicated! My requirements are mid rise or higher, skinny (my shoulders are 3-4 inches larger than my hips...) dark wash, elastic! Since I have horses, most days I wear tall boots with the pant legs tucked in. I have found the Levi’s 711, NYDJ, and a brand called Jag work best for me!
“Buy two pairs!” I absolutely LOVE that! 💕P.S. I love your hair! Have mine cut similarly, and don’t plan to change it for a long time!
Emily Evans I love NYDJ too! They flatter my post 5 babies new body 😆
M and s have just bought out. Tummy control and bottom lifting jeans in three colours havnt tired them yet but look promising
The same happened to me. Levis somehow are not as they used to at least on me. Same thing with Zara ( too short, too skinny and the sizes are always different). H&M are a different story. I like them slim and although I have a couple of skinny jeans I try to avoid them because I’m too tall (1.92 cms) and being a rectangle and slim (thanks God), I would look too long with them if I’m not careful with what I wear on the upper body.
Slim jeans are best for me and if I am not wearing socks they make my legs look less long.
I loved what you said about not always wearing what is trendy that was exactly what I learned from grandma. Wear what makes you look great despite is not trendy.
A bientot Marie-Anne!
Bonjour Marie-Anne, this video was just what I was looking for! I’m going shopping for the H&M jeans today 😊 Also loved the video on how to wear ankle boots 🙌🏻 love from Pam 🇬🇧xx
Marie-Anne, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us!😊🌸 I'm interested to know your opinion about Levis 501 classic or cropped jeans that seems to be so popular.
I see what you mean. Thank you for your reply!😊❤
I buy my pants and jeans from Ann Taylor Loft they have the best for me . High rise dark jean, white and I have burgundy cords ... love the Stretch and the fit is perfect.
Bonjour Marie-Anne. Watching this video made me laugh as I too am a rectangle (74 with no bum!) and find it difficult to find the perfect jeans. Two years ago I finally found the perfect black straight leg jeans....at H&M! After a couple of months I decided I should get another pair to have when the first pair gets a bit tired. Went back and found the very last pair....so I've learned to buy two pairs at the same time rather than hoping to find the same ones some time later. I love your channel and "share the chic" with a couple of friends here in Toronto :). Patricia
