Do you think pants/jeans trends are getting harder to style? Or are they easier with old trends coming back?

[shannonlaan]

The neckline matching the rise is a game changer! Thank you so much for sharing that tip!

[angelamelum]

This is by far way more helpful than tell us what is “on trend” since most of us don’t care and have specific preferences. Thank you!

[lynnmyrick]

Really loved your practical, timeless advice. These tips can be used regardless of trends. I’m a new subscriber, so really looking forward to watching all of your videos. Thanks!

[dogparents]

Great pants advice. I'm 5'8" with a short torso. I'm very self concious about it. I like low rise pants because they look normal on me. I wear a jacket/long shirt to camouflage my short body .

For me, this video has the identical significance of the discovery of Penicillin and the Theory of Relativity combined! This BRILLIANT information is so RELEVANT! Fashion and our bodies area both ever changing and this theory is the key to fashion! I've never found this "proportion concept" discussed/demonstrated anywhere before today! Your theory and demonstration are BRILLIANT! Thank you JB. After seeing this, I regret purging some quality pieces as they weren't working with new "trends." I thought it was body 65 y.o. short waist/long leg body 5'5" 145lb/36 full C (trying not to go into D and loose more midriff real estate! I'm not a trend follower, I like classic, clean/minimal "suprezzura" (Italian for nonchalant-dressing effortless imperfection but beautifully so that nothing looks contrived. I see this also in France and find it elusive but appealing.

I distinctly remember everyone freaking out about skinny jeans - not many people wanted to try them out. Now it’s “You’ll have to rip my skinnies off my dead body.”

[trishac]

I have a short torso, but I have a large bust for my size, 32G. I'm only 5 ft 1, and I weigh 114 lb, but my large bust prevents me from wearing any high-necked tops. I can wear mid-rise bottoms best, but I can also do low-rise because they are not low rise on me. So, being short with a short torso, no matter what the rise is on my jeans, I just don't look good in higher neck tops as they accentuate my bust. Do you have any suggestions or videos for a small person, short torso, but large bust size?

[TheMary]

I used to think I looked good in low-rise jeans. Nope. I have a slightly long torso. I LOVE higher-rise pants and jeans right now.

[helenmacqueen]

Love your videos! They are super helpful for a girl with a short torso. You might not be able to make recommendations, but I have a really hard time finding jeans with small/high back pockets. I have slender thighs and a flattish butt, and almost all jeans are too baggy in the thighs and butt. The back pockets make it look ever worse--baggy town! I've tried on multiple styles from Madewell, Everlane, Levis, J Crew, Gap, and others with no success, and if they stretch even a little, it's like the pockets are on the backs of my thighs. Do you have any suggestions? Did I say I love your videos? (Do you answer comments? Anne-Marie from French Chic Ladies does.) Oh, BTW, I'm 68, but look *much* younger, say the people I supervise.

[ujjsxdd]

Thank heaven for you - I have the quite non athletic quite non all-American tiny torso effect as well you are a life saver!

[bhoomikaghosh]

I would never wear low rise jeans ever again, I'll just stop wearing pants altogether if I have to. Can't deal with that nightmare again

[savannalove]

There’s a lot to learn but I’m loving it! Subscribed! ❤

[peggygourton]

I love your positive energy in trends ❤ when it comes to fashion it’s all about preferences and challenges.

[Aanklaer]

I remember the high waist panic, now its the best thing ever.

[leslierobbins]

Did anybody else notice the belly buttons are all at different heights on the Express Rise Guide. IMO it would be more helpful if they used the same model for each rise/fit.
Great content as usual. You are so incredibly helpful!

[adalynnepalmer]

She looks like a model😮and i love that pants❤🎉

[sarahellencohen]

Good stuff here Jules Beth. My favorite type of video. The concepts, aka all of the guesswork and conditions, make me anxious. It's a lot of word salad. I like the actual modeling of what you're saying best. More links please: grey coat, black long sleeve top, narrating sweater, etc.

I miss your target, express, h&m hauls. Future?

[carolguidi]

The word you're looking for is actually RISE. The area between the belly button, under the crotch and around to the waist in the back is actually the rise of the pant. Divide it in half and you get the measurement the way the clothing manufacturers are using it. Measuring yourself in this way may help with selections. Because just because THE PANTS have an 11 inch rise and THE MANUFACTURER calls this high rise, doesn't mean it is high rise on your body!! Just like "short pants" may be long pants on someone with SHORT LEGS! So, to be clear the term "high rise" is more of a "STYLE" than a determination of how the pants will actually fit and look on everyone's body.

I need to stick up on high-waited wide-leg dress pants before they are hard to find! Great tips! I have so many low-rise jeans from all the years before high-rise came back in style and I have such a long torso (!) Thanks for the tip about the neckline and the rise!!! I have kept all those pants as they still fit me (didn't want to lose all that money I spent!!!) but I hate low-rise!!!
