I’ve been loving the wider leg jeans these past two years, and find them very comfortable and flattering if the proportions worn with them are right. I’m tall, pus size, and pear shaped, and I’ve been getting compliments on my wide leg jeans whenever I wear them. Somehow the drape and softer shape works better at creating the illusion of a smarter outfit! Good tips in your video! Thanks from Canada!

I’m a slender, borderline petite (164 cm) rectangle-shape and I just never feel as good in my wide-leg trousers as I do in my straight-legged ones. Even with my beloved 2.5-inch mid heels, as high as I can stand. Even though I wear them with fitted tops, I just don’t think they’re as flattering on my short, narrow frame as straight-leg or tapered trousers. Part of the problem, I think, is that my hips are quite narrow, so I get extra fabric there if the trousers are sized to close at the waist, absolutely essential! This is why I wear mostly dresses and skirt outfits, I’m 64 and never found even one pair of jeans or trousers that fit me properly. Most can’t be altered because of the pockets, flat-felled seams in jeans, and/or side zippers, it’s much more involved than taking in a waistband.

Thank you, Marie Anne. I adore wide leg trousers and jeans, they suit my body shape, so all you say here makes perfect sense to me.

I don't like to tuck things in because of my tummy (working on it 😊). I have found that shorter, more fitted tops look better with the wide-legged jeans. Sometimes I knot the looser tops to make them fit better. Kudos to you for your slim figure! Cheers from Chicago 🎉

I'm somewhat tall (5'8") and wear size 2 with a small waist and weigh 115-117 pounds. I still think wide leg jeans or pants make me look fat and dumpy. I just lost 60 pounds so I may be biased. I honestly think that wide legs flatters no one no matter what size. And they will be dated very quickly. I still will only wear straight or skinny. Hello from Key West Florida!! ☺️☺️☺️

I love wide leg jeans, Marie Anne! I love to style them with a white blouse ❤

Merci, Marie-Anne! I always learn something from your videos, even when I'm not keen on the style, such as the wide leg trousers. Pairing the jackets was helpful as well. Your mother's jacket is a wow, as it is always good to see Coco and Peanut. They are effortlessly chic 😊❤

I'll stick with the straight leg jeans 👖

Gorgeous blouse with the dark jeans- lovely

Over the years no matter what style has been the most popular I always look best and get the most compliments whenever I wear bootcut jeans. I'm a petite hour glass 5'1" (155 cm) and 125 lbs. (56 kg).

I love your advice ❤they are very inspiring to me . Greetings from Poland .

Thank you Marie-Anne. I have been dealing with chronic pain for the last 20+ years and am very limited in my movements, because of this (and comfort eating due to pain and frustration), l've put on quite a lot of weight and have a lot of associated shame and body image issues. I've been attempting to lose weight but, in the interim l have gone from a slim rectangle to a middle aged apple which l have no idea how to dress. Thanks to your tips l feel l can at least go out in public looking respectable and even stylish while l continue my journey. 😊

I’m so glad fitted-waist, or nipped-waist, blazers are finally available again. For at least five years, only those huge, boxy, too-long blazers were offered and I didn’t buy a single one. Showing shape at the waist is absolutely essential for my rectangle shape. I won’t wear those big, long shirts or tunics, either, they’re so visually thickening, leg-shortening and generally unflattering. I either tuck in my tops neatly all-around or wear waist-length ones, when I can find them, it’s not easy. So many brands still make their tops in that outdated, almost thigh length, that was designed to be worn with lower-rise pants from 2000-2020. The best thing I ever did for my style was to get rid of all those long tops and low or mid-rise pants! Longer tops are coming back in again, but they’re fitted, not boxy, and usually worn open from hem to waist, 100 times better.

I find buying a size up in a straight leg jean is better than wide leg . Gives a similar look but better for petite people .

Loves all the advice! Wide leg jeans/pants are cooler in the summer high tempertures.

I always leaen something from your videos. I am onle 30, so not exactly your target demographic, but you are so delightful! You are a style romodel for me.😊

I love my wide leg jeans ❤

I love wide leg jeans and trousers! I have an hourglass shape, so I choose the style that has a high waist that is closer to the body like the last pair you wore. I like to wear them with tops that are v-neck and broader in the shoulder, tucked in with a belt. I always get compliments when I do this. I recently purchased 2 vests, one like the one that you wore and another that is more like a jacket that is nipped in, with a notched collar. The second one really emphasizes my waist when I wear it with a plain v-neck t-shirt tucked in with my wide leg jeans. I have some low-heeled gold espadrilles that look very nice with this look.

New subscriber here. Good Lord, wishing I had the $ to redo my entire wardrobe after watching this video. I'm close to 70, 5-ft tall, size 18/20, and definitely an apple figure (uggghhhhh). I clearly see changes I want to make now and open myself up to tucking in my tops, pay more attention to styles I've been avoiding, need to buy some nice belts (haven't worn a belt in decades), start wearing straight-leg and/wide leg pants, on & on. Although I don't live in a "chic" area geographically, I still want to look my best that's also appropriate to where I live. I'm so excited to start making simple easy changes. I'm now binge watching all your videos to learn as much as I can.
