Skinny jeans aren’t my favorite, but I feel like the sheer fact that they aren’t creating a specific silhouette makes them the most timeless. They just follow the lines of your body, so it’s more about how your body is than the trends.

I loved this video! I refused to wear skinny jeans for so long, because I'm on the heavier side. Finally I gave them a try, now it's all I want to wear! This video made me see why- my legs are my thinnest place, so showing how thin they are makes me look longer! Thank you!

The details that you share in breaking down these different Jean types is flawless. Feeling more confident in Jean shopping...you rock.

I got wide leg jeans today and it makes my waistline look super defined and I am so excited. Its my fave jeans now and I will be wearing it often!

[kimberlyberlin]

My perfect jeans are straight leg with a higher rise or a skinny jean with a higher rise. I'm 5'2" and only wear a kitten heel or a platform of about 2" but that does make all the difference. Great video Chi.

The section of you having ‘a belly’ made me chuckle. You’re lightheartedness is appreciated 😆

[lalo]

This is so helpful and well made, straight to the point no unnecessary talk. Thank you.

[marisacooper]

Thank you 🙏 your tips make just about every jean work for every.body type! Your pro tips in pairing shoe styles with the jeans and leg shapes makes all the difference- I’m motivated to play around with my wardrobe today to try out new combinations.👖👢

I watched your entire video and I am happy to find out that I have been wearing the correct jeans for 44 years. When I was a teen I wore the boyfriend cut jeans for good reasons but no one understood why. I love wearing the subtle flared, bootcut, and straight most of the time. Occasionally slim and skinny because the jeans were a bargain and they fit perfectly. I know I should give up wearing the skinny eventually and I only been wearing them for two years because they are new to me, lol. 😆 I am a petite, inverted triangle with a slim build. I am an older woman and I love wearing jeans. Jeans are practical and they fit perfectly to my lifestyle. Thanks for the wonderful, informative video!

I just found your channel and updated my wardrobe using your advice for apple shapes. Thank you so much! I feel like a new person. I'm so much happier with what I see in the mirror.

Always great tips, I'm curvy and tried on skinny in store with my husband present he said they look illegal, he's funny. I only wear wide, flare, or straight. I always like watching your videos.

Great video, I love your style! I’ll be keeping these tips in mind next time I go shopping! 😍😊

I am an hourglass, which is a big problem when it comes to jeans. I wear bootcut or wider legged jeans. They’re flattering because my shoes are chunkier in style. The other reason I quit wearing skinny jeans is because I suffer from chronic pain due to osteoarthritis & I don’t want tight-fitting clothes. I wear clothes that skim my body & don’t require belts. I need high waisted pants.

I own skinny jeans, lately being pear shaped I think I might give them to the thrift store .I often get the gab in the back due to a sway back . Flares with sneakers I agree, wide legs make me look stumpy . Bootcut and straight are my fave . Mom no way, Boyfriend yes xxx

[liliexxchibi]

I think this is the first time I learn of the apple shape which is exactly my body type, and I am also short. Sometimes I get lost on what jeans to buy because of all the styles and trends. This really helps. Now I have a better idea what styles will fit me. Thanks a lot for this video!

[donnaschnare]

Great video and great advice! Thank you 😊

[IsabeLLE_notLLA]

I’m pretty sure I have a pear body shape and it makes sense that my favorite type of jeans are wide leg jeans. I’m only 5’1” and adding heels gives the illusion of longer legs. I also use platform sneakers too to add height.

[clairewillow]

I was sad in 2008 when flare and bootleg jeans disappeared in favour for skinny. I’m so happy that skinny is out now and flare is back :) . I don’t mind mom jeans but I find them a bit boring unless they are distressed. Boyfriend and wide leg just don’t appeal to me. I like to wear my tops a bit baggier so if my pants are also baggy I end up having no shape. I love showing off my legs lol which is probably why flare/bootleg is my favourite. Skinny jeans also show them off but not in a flattering way imo. They make feet look huge lol and tall boots can fix that but those are out of fashion at the moment (they look dated to the 2010s)

You get everything right! Great content

As a short wide hipped girl with a very physical job- I love me some high-waist bootcut mom jeans.
People give me such hell for them- but they really balance me out and keep me comfy.
