Full transcript

1. 0:00shopping for jeans is hard adding the
2. 0:02fact that you are petite and it can feel
3. 0:05impossible but that's why I think Levis
4. 0:07is a really great option for as petites
5. 0:10because they have so many different
6. 0:11styles and leg lengths and in this video
7. 0:13I'll be trying on their most famous
8. 0:15styles of jeans so that hopefully you
9. 0:18can find the perfect pair for you some
10. 0:20information before we begin I am wearing
11. 0:23all of these in a size 25 so that we can
12. 0:26have a clean comparison across the board
13. 0:29I would say that a 25 is my usual size
14. 0:32but as we all know sizing varies between
15. 0:35Brands and styles so it's always best to
16. 0:38know your own measurements and then you
17. 0:39can compare that against the sizing
18. 0:41guide that's on the website another
19. 0:43caveat to this is that Levis can also be
20. 0:47a little bit inconsistent with their
21. 0:49sizing so whilst I can't recommend which
22. 0:52size you should get I'm hoping that this
23. 0:55video can be used as a reference point
24. 0:57if you are similar size build as me
25. 1:00speaking of measurements here are mine
26. 1:03on screen I'm just interjecting here to
27. 1:06say that if you are measuring yourself
28. 1:09make sure you don't do it first thing in
29. 1:11the morning make sure you've had
30. 1:13breakfast make sure you've had lunch
31. 1:17because how I look first thing in the
32. 1:19morning is vastly different to how I
33. 1:22look after I've eating lunch so just
34. 1:26that little tip I would say that my
35. 1:28perfect inseam length is a 26 for that
36. 1:31cropped length and then a 27 or 28 for a
37. 1:35fuller length and then 30 in for that
38. 1:39even longer length if you want to wear
39. 1:40your jeans with like heels or boots
40. 1:43because we got to have options you know
41. 1:46I've also measured out each pair of
42. 1:48jeans the waist the rise the thigh
43. 1:51everything so that you can use that and
44. 1:54maybe compare it against a pair of
45. 1:56trousers or jeans that you've got at
46. 1:57home so that maybe you can kind of see
47. 2:00which one would be best for you so
48. 2:01without too much rambling let's just get
49. 2:04into the first pair of jeans so let's
50. 2:06start with the most quintessential pair
51. 2:08of jeans these are the 501s in a 25x 28
52. 2:13these are described as a straight cut
53. 2:15and fitted throughout your hip and thigh
54. 2:18I'd say that was pretty accurate in
55. 2:20terms of the rise and the leg length I
56. 2:22really love these I think these are such
57. 2:25a great fit the waist sits right around
58. 2:29my belly buson which is where I like my
59. 2:32jeans to fall you can see my belly
60. 2:34button is like just there these are 100%
61. 2:37cotton so they are quite a rigid denim
62. 2:41but I think because I do have a bit of
63. 2:44room here they're not uncomfortable they
64. 2:46are still like I can still move around
65. 2:49in them so I do wonder if I actually
66. 2:52need to size down in these jeans like I
67. 2:55said as you can see there is a little
68. 2:58bit of gaping at the waist it doesn't
69. 3:00feel like they are going to fall down
70. 3:02and so like I said they are really
71. 3:04comfortable I'm not sure if the back
72. 3:07pocket placement or like the butt area
73. 3:09of the of these jeans is that flattering
74. 3:12on me but I wonder if that's because I
75. 3:15do need to size down one I like my jeans
76. 3:18to be really tight on my butt and this
77. 3:21does have a little bit of space this
78. 3:23Fuller leg length the 28 in is I think
79. 3:27if you have like one leg length is your
80. 3:30go-to it would be for your jeans to sit
81. 3:33right at the top of the foot and so for
82. 3:35me a 27 or 28 is where that hits for me
83. 3:38you can wear this length with ballet
84. 3:41flats with loafers with boots and so I
85. 3:44think this is a really good versatile
86. 3:46leg length overall I really like the
87. 3:48501s they're very comfortable however
88. 3:53maybe size down so out of Interest I did
89. 3:56order the 501 crop in a 24 just to see
90. 4:01if they would fit any better I'm wearing
91. 4:04them right now and I do have some
92. 4:07thoughts I think that I do prefer how
93. 4:09they look one size down it fits much
94. 4:12better on the waist and even the sort of
95. 4:15like crotch area I didn't realize it at
96. 4:17the time when I tried on the 25s but I
97. 4:20think it was had a bit of excess
98. 4:23material here whereas I think these fit
99. 4:26a lot better however I will say that
100. 4:30sitting down in them is not as
101. 4:33comfortable because they are tighter on
102. 4:35the waist and the bum and the thighs it
103. 4:39is a slightly tighter squeeze sitting
104. 4:43down but because it is 100% cotton it
105. 4:47will stretch out over time I mean I've
106. 4:49already taken the tags off of this so
107. 4:52you can probably already guess that I'm
108. 4:53going to keep these I did wear them out
109. 4:56the other evening and they have already
110. 4:58stretched out like they're a lot more
111. 4:59comfortable now than they were when I
112. 5:01first put them on I was a bit alarmed
113. 5:03when I first put them on but now yeah
114. 5:05after wearing them for one evening they
115. 5:07are already so much more uh comfortable
116. 5:10to sit in as well so if you are thinking
117. 5:12of the 501 crop then my personal
118. 5:15preference is to size down from your
119. 5:18usual size however I do think you can
120. 5:20also wear your usual size it just
121. 5:22depends on how you want your jeans to
122. 5:25fit so the next pet I have on are the
123. 5:27501 90s in a 25x 28 as well and these
124. 5:32are described as a classic midrise which
125. 5:36they are you can see they fit just below
126. 5:38my belly button a loose straight fit
127. 5:41with just the right amount of bagginess
128. 5:43through the leg and I'm going to be
129. 5:44honest I didn't expect to like these as
130. 5:47much as I do so you can see that
131. 5:49compared to the original 501s these are
132. 5:53slightly looser in the leg but not in
133. 5:57like a wide leg Style which is not
134. 6:01really a style of jeans that I gravitate
135. 6:03towards I find like that wider or
136. 6:06slouchier fit quite hard to wear because
137. 6:08I am so petite I like my things to be
138. 6:11quite streamlined most of the time but I
139. 6:14actually really like these these
140. 6:16definitely have that sort of very cool
141. 6:20relaxed '90s Vibe about them and even
142. 6:23though they are also in 100% cotton
143. 6:27because they are a little bit slouchy
144. 6:30they're really comfortable I have been
145. 6:33trying to work on my work from home
146. 6:35wardrobe and I actually think I could
147. 6:37wear these sitting at my desk to work
148. 6:40from home that's how comfortable they
149. 6:42feel not long ago I bought a pair of
150. 6:44vintage Levis and I wore them in some of
151. 6:46my videos and I did set get some
152. 6:48questions asking what style they are
153. 6:52they don't have like a style number on
154. 6:54them but I would say that these jeans
155. 6:57are the most similar to fit so if you
156. 7:01like the way those vintage Levis that I
157. 7:04have fit and you wanted to look for a
158. 7:07pair then the 501 90s are very very
159. 7:11similar and it's funny because in the
160. 7:13description of these jeans it says
161. 7:16they're the Vintage jeans you've always
162. 7:18dreamed of finding at the thrift store
163. 7:20but without the rumaging so there you go
164. 7:23I also like the wash of these jeans as
165. 7:25well they really have tried to do that
166. 7:27vintage look with a little bit of
167. 7:29distressing on the top of the pockets I
168. 7:31think this shade of blue is it's just a
169. 7:34really nice classic shade it does also
170. 7:37say to size down for a Slimmer fit I
171. 7:40think I definitely could size down in
172. 7:42these so I again I would be interested
173. 7:43to see how that fits hello again I swear
174. 7:47this is the last time I'm going to do
175. 7:48this in this video so I also ordered the
176. 7:52size down in the 501 90s ankle I'm
177. 7:57wearing them right now these are the 2
178. 7:59fours and and they definitely sit more
179. 8:02snug on my waist um than the 25s which
180. 8:07of course is to be expected they don't
181. 8:09have that like cool slouchy look as much
182. 8:13as the 25s do these are a bit more I
183. 8:17wouldn't say tight they're still loose
184. 8:19and they're still really comfortable but
185. 8:21they don't have that like cool slouchy
186. 8:24bagginess to them with sizing down I
187. 8:27also have no choice but to wear them
188. 8:30midrise here whereas on the 25s I could
189. 8:34pull them up a little bit so if I wanted
190. 8:36to wear them a bit more highrise I could
191. 8:39however I will also say that going one
192. 8:41size down doesn't take away from the
193. 8:44comfort these are still really
194. 8:46comfortable I would still wear these to
195. 8:48work from home I still have room in my
196. 8:51butt and my thighs I can sit down really
197. 8:53comfortably I can slouch around on my
198. 8:55chair at home I think whatever size you
199. 8:58go for whether whe that's your usual
200. 9:00size or your size down just depends on
201. 9:03your own personal preference size down
202. 9:07if you want them a little bit more snug
203. 9:10on your waist or go for usual size if
204. 9:14you want that like baggier slouchier
205. 9:17slightly more relaxed and like cool fit
206. 9:21next we have on the rib cage straight
207. 9:24ankle in a 25x 26 these are described as
208. 9:28a versatile fit with a flattering
209. 9:30highrise finished with a classic
210. 9:32straight leg hip slimming waist defining
211. 9:36leg lengthening so they promise a lot
212. 9:39let's see if they deliver firstly they
213. 9:41are extremely highrise so the 501's sat
214. 9:46around here and you can see that these
215. 9:49rib cage ones are really really high if
216. 9:53you have a short torso these are
217. 9:56probably not the jeans for you because
218. 9:58they will make your top half look even
219. 10:01shorter but if you have a longer torso
220. 10:03and shorter legs then these might be the
221. 10:05perfect jeans to help balance out your
222. 10:07proportions a bit more so these are much
223. 10:09tighter on the hips and the bum compared
224. 10:13to the 501s even like my crotch is it's
225. 10:17very tight in here but because they have
226. 10:20that little bit of stretch you can move
227. 10:23about in these you can sit down quite
228. 10:25comfortably so that stretch does make a
229. 10:27really big difference I would say they
230. 10:29definitely do give you a bit more of a
231. 10:32shape especially if you're someone like
232. 10:34me that doesn't really have you know
233. 10:37that hourglass shape this does help
234. 10:40Define this area a little bit more
235. 10:42however I think I do personally prefer
236. 10:45the 501s the leg on those is just a
237. 10:48touch Slimmer which I think I prefer the
238. 10:52leg opening on these is actually quite
239. 10:54wide so it just depends on whatever your
240. 10:56personal preference is in terms of the
241. 10:59back pocket placement and like how your
242. 11:01butt looks I do think that these look
243. 11:04nicer on my butt than the 501s just
244. 11:07because they are super tight and so
245. 11:09everything is like cinched in and held
246. 11:12up there so I'll put on screen a
247. 11:14comparison with the rib cage and the 501
248. 11:16so you can see in terms of sizing I
249. 11:19think these are the perfect size for me
250. 11:21I wouldn't size down because that would
251. 11:23mean that the thigh and the hip area I
252. 11:26think would be too tight and then you
253. 11:28can see that there's not much of a waist
254. 11:32gape on these which is great so I think
255. 11:36your usual size in the rib cage jeans
256. 11:38could be a good fit for you so one thing
257. 11:40to note about Levi's jeans is that the
258. 11:44same pair of jeans in a different wash
259. 11:47might be a different composition so
260. 11:50these are also a pair of Levi's rib cage
261. 11:54straight and I bought these off vintage
262. 11:57without asking the seller what what the
263. 11:59composition was which is such a rookie
264. 12:02eror always ask what the composition is
265. 12:05if it's not stated luckily they were
266. 12:07only £15 so when I got them and I and I
267. 12:11saw what they're made of I wasn't too
268. 12:13disappointed but these have quite a high
269. 12:15composition of liar cell in them and I
270. 12:19don't know if you can tell on screen but
271. 12:21they're they're very thin they feel very
272. 12:24light and fluid which to be honest for a
273. 12:28pair of jeans to wear in the summer is
274. 12:30great because they're really light and
275. 12:31breathable however you can just kind of
276. 12:33tell from the way it's creasing and you
277. 12:36can see the creases on my legs from
278. 12:39where these jeans have just been folded
279. 12:40up in my wardrobe and I don't love that
280. 12:43I also find that because of the high LEL
281. 12:46content in them they do stretch out
282. 12:50quite a bit um I feel like the knees
283. 12:52have stretched out quite a bit and I've
284. 12:54only worn these once and so I would have
285. 12:56to wash them to get them back into their
286. 12:58original shape which is kind of annoying
287. 13:01so make sure you always check the
288. 13:03composition before you buy anything
289. 13:06moving on to the wedgie straight in a
290. 13:0925x 26 and I can't believe I've never
291. 13:13tried these before because I think I
292. 13:16might be converted so the description on
293. 13:18the website says that they are a vintage
294. 13:20inspired style highrise and snug through
295. 13:24the hip and thigh with a special
296. 13:26construction to give your butt an extra
297. 13:29lift so my first impression when I put
298. 13:31these on was like wow I love these and I
299. 13:35don't know I can't even pinpoint why I
300. 13:37just think they're really flattering the
301. 13:39rise on these is similar to the 501s for
302. 13:42me they sit right on my belly button I
303. 13:44think the rib cage which sat like up
304. 13:47here was just a smidgin too high for me
305. 13:50whereas this is a lot more comfortable
306. 13:52these are also quite tight on the hip
307. 13:55and thigh and butt but again because
308. 13:58they do have stretch in them they are
309. 14:00very comfortable I can move around like
310. 14:03quite easily in them I can sit down in
311. 14:05them they're also quite a slim straight
312. 14:07leg which I think maybe I just prefer in
313. 14:11terms of the special wedgie fit
314. 14:14construction I don't know if it's doing
315. 14:16anything that different other than just
316. 14:18being really tight but again I'll just
317. 14:20show a comparison on screen with the
318. 14:23other jeans so that we can have a look
319. 14:25it's not that I think it looks bad I
320. 14:27just don't think it is do doing anything
321. 14:30that different in terms of sizing I do
322. 14:33think that these are my right size if I
323. 14:35go down a size it would be too tight for
324. 14:38me around the thighs and a size up would
325. 14:41be too big around the waist there is a
326. 14:44little bit of gaping not too much and
327. 14:46because there is some elastan in these
328. 14:49jeans it doesn't feel like they're going
329. 14:51to fall down so even though they is
330. 14:53gaping it doesn't bother me too much I
331. 14:56think this light blue wash especially in
332. 14:59this cropped length the 26 in inseam
333. 15:02that was a mouthful would be perfect for
334. 15:04spring summer it's such a great length
335. 15:07to wear with like belly flats or
336. 15:10sneakers or loafers just any like flat
337. 15:12shoe I just really like these jeans can
338. 15:14you tell I also ordered the 28 in seam
339. 15:18length as well like I said I enjoy
340. 15:21wearing jeans and boots and so I think
341. 15:23that slightly longer length is like a
342. 15:25bit more flattering with boots I think
343. 15:27that when I think about how I want jeans
344. 15:30to fit the wedgie fit is actually what I
345. 15:33have in mind I just think these are such
346. 15:36a great pair of jeans I can't believe
347. 15:37it's my first time trying it because I
348. 15:40love them and now I want to try
349. 15:41different colors let me know if you like
350. 15:43these kind of try on videos and if you
351. 15:46want me to do any more for different
352. 15:48brands last but not least these are the
353. 15:51wedgie boots cut in a 25x 30 in inseam
354. 15:56this is not a style of jeans I wear a
355. 16:00lot I would say I have more boot cut
356. 16:03trousers than I do jeans but it's a
357. 16:05style that is very flattering if you
358. 16:08have shorter legs like me so again these
359. 16:11are fitted through the thigh and the
360. 16:13butt but because it has that stretch it
361. 16:15is really comfortable and then it just
362. 16:18has that boot cut flare at the end these
363. 16:20are great if you love wearing heels or
364. 16:23boots because they kind of flow longer
365. 16:26over your foot and it kind of just gives
366. 16:29you that extra lengthening effect I
367. 16:31think especially if you wear them with a
368. 16:34shoe that has a more elongated toe box
369. 16:36you just have that very very extended
370. 16:39line throughout your body and it's it's
371. 16:41very very lengthening so like I said
372. 16:43these are all in 25 same as the wedgie
373. 16:46straight but for some reason there is a
374. 16:49bigger waist Gap here and I'm don't know
375. 16:52why but again all the measurements for
376. 16:54all these jeans um would have been on
377. 16:56screen so you have that as your
378. 16:58reference denim is one of my favorite
379. 17:00things to wear and I really hope that
380. 17:02you can find the perfect pair can you
381. 17:05guess which ones I might keep if you
382. 17:08enjoyed this and you fancy sticking
383. 17:10around then you can watch this video on
384. 17:12screen which is my latest petite styling
385. 17:16tips video thank you so much for
386. 17:17watching and I will see you in the next
387. 17:19video bye
