The BEST denim jeans | how to find your perfect jeans

What do you look for in a perfect pair of jeans?

I’m a baby boomer who fell in love w/Levi’s 501 back when you had to soften them yourself. No lie…I had to buy them about 2 sizes too big, and sit in a bathtub full of hot water, and let the jeans shrink and mold to my shape. Then, I had to keep them on until they dried. The worst part was how blue the bath water turned. It was a chore to get them right, but when I pulled them on they felt like the were made just for me. I’ve never had a pair fit me like that since.

Great video, Christina! I grew up in the 70s and Levi's 501s were what all the cool kids wore, but I had a JoLo body and there was no way Levi's or any other jeans were going to fit me. A couple years ago with the rise of the Ribcage jeans I was able to wear my first pair of Levi's that actually look like the ones everyone but me had in high school - and at 62 I feel like a cool kid! 👖

Awesome video. I love learning your tips in tricks for Levi. Just went to the Levi store and bought a couple pair 😊

1990's 501 jeans were the best jeans ever!!! I wore these exclusively for years until they changed the fabric and fit.Very happy to see 100% cotton jeans again. My rule is no more than 1-2% for elastane content. Anything higher I will not buy. I hate hate jeans with stretch. They look good for a few hours and then lose their shape. They don't hold your tummy in and wear out very fast. Getting back into denim again now that cotton is coming back and I can actually buy jeans again after many years of only being able to buy stretchy jeans. Right now, I am loving Mango jeans (99% cotton). They are the best fitting, most comfortable jeans I have bought in many years. Good price point at $69.99 CAD.

Christina!! Omg I think this is one of the most helpful videos you’ve ever made! You know so much about denim and this honestly feels like the ultimate guide - especially when it comes to shopping for denim online. Saving this one for future reference! ✅ ✅

My favorite jeans are Levi’s selvedge denim! Something about cuffing them up and seeing that classic edge just makes me happy. My favorite cuts are the 501 and the 701. My recent additions are the 1970’s slim straight and the flare. And yes, sizing can be a pain. I always buy two sizes and return one.

i love content like this coming from yoy because it comes from an intentional minimalism-ish perspective. i have been growing my wardrobe but i dont want to just buy whatever there is. please more content like this!!!

I'm starting to become a jeans collector too after realizing I have been wearing the wrong inseam and rise my whole life - shortie petite with a longer rise!. Amazing how stunning jeans are that fit!

I have quite a few Levi's from the 90s on up to my newest ribcage I bought this year. Its hard for me to pick a favorite though. Levi's are my obsession.They are so comfortable,and never go out of style. Thanks for sharing

This was so informative and helpful! Thank you so much Christina :)

Hi Christina, thank you for this video! This was so informative and helpful. Jeans are the best!

Very informative Christina, keeping this handy for future shopping 🛒

This isn't a style I often hear people talk about, but I discovered Levi's 619s (orange tab) while thrifting and they are also an amazing fit—a true 12" high rise and a straight leg. They're also really easy to find on places like Poshmark and usually a lot less expensive than the coveted 501s and 505s. I have them in a couple of washes :)

The measure system is so helpful, thank you!

I love your style! Thanks for the inspiration

Currently looking for comfortable yet flattering jeans (high wasted, straight leg). Staying away from the jegging jean look as I just don’t feel they fit my style anymore. This video has been extremely helpful and right on time as I have been struggling to find a nice comfortable pair of jeans. Thank you so much!! Big fan of your content this video has been especially helpful! Take care 😊

Great collection ❤ I am also big fan of Levis 501. I live in Australia, so naturally my favourite jeans brands are Ksubi and Neuw. They are premium quality, and the cut is very good for my petite frame.

Great info!! I love your videos!

Hi Christina...i love your channel especially your minimalism videos. You're amazing! Thanks for this video. Hugs from Italy 🤗🤍👖
