levi's 501 jeans have a reputation of
being a wardrobe
staple but how much of it is that
they're truly the best jeans
and how much of it is just marketing
hype I went to the Levi's store and I
tried on a lot of different pairs
I tried on six pairs of jeans and then
two pairs of skirts
and there were some that I loved and
some that I didn't so we're going to be
talking about the pros and the cons
of different pairs of Levi's jeans so
whether you're looking for a cool new
vintage pair to wear
this fall or one of the newer models

before we start I do have a disclaimer
this video is not sponsored by Levi's
but it is sponsored by my friend Dovy so
thank you Dovy  he has a really cool
graphic design internet at work
and she has an Instagram page where she
showcases how she hand paints denim
jeans
so here's an example of one of my
favorite pairs
I think that the design on the pocket is
super cool but she'll also do
different kinds of art on different
pairs of jeans she'll also do custom
designs like this one here
so if you think that her stuff is as
cool as I do then definitely check her
out
I'm going to leave her instagram handle
on the screen and i'm also going to

if you're looking for a pair of jeans
that are going to be wardrobe staples it
seems hard to go wrong with a pair that
have been popular since the 1800s but
how flattering
are the 501 original jeans i went and
then my family member tried on a pair
and I have to be honest with you
hated them so you've got the fitted
waist and then you've got
a looser fit straight leg jean I think
that if you're looking for something
that's going to accentuate your figure a
little bit more
then you're better off going with the
501 skinny jeans
the 501 skinnies are a pair that I
bought and they can be considered part
of my haul
personally I really like this pair and I
have gotten a lot of wear out of them so
far
you've got the high waist a more fitted
leg and then you've got a cropped ankle
which normally I don't like but in this
case I do
I don't think it really cuts off your
leg too much or makes it look shorter
because
the jean legs are very fitted I would
say that these pair are true to size but
there is a little bit of stretch in this
material unlike with the 501 originals
so in this case you might want to size
down just because the odds are
that after you wear the jeans for a few
days they're going to loosen up a little
bit
I quite like them and I think that
they're really flattering on a lot of
people
we all know about mom jeans which we're
gonna talk about in a minute
but there's a new cool jean on the scene
sorry for being so nerdy but
there's a cool new pair of jeans called
the dad gene
these are inspired by dads in the 90s
and they're super unflattering
they sit a little bit low in the waist
they're a straight wide leg that hits
you
just above the ankle so i'm 5'7 but
these but these jeans made me look like
I was four
seven but if you're trying to prove that
you can look good no matter what you
wear or if you wanna look really cool
and on trend then dad jeans could be
something to try
I personally really loved the fit of the
Levi's mom jeans
up top but what i didn't like about them
was that they had a tapered effect at
the bottom instead of just being
straight
it didn't really flatter me in the way
that some other jeans would I think that
if you want to add extra emphasis or
extra shape to that area then these
jeans can be great for you
but otherwise you might want to give
them a pass unless you can find a pair
with a straight leg with no tapering
a denim skirt for me is one of those
classic things that I always reach for
in my wardrobe time and time again
particularly in the summer I tried on a
denim skirt
modeled after the 501 jeans I thought it
was really really cute
but if you're if you're a little bit
above average height
then chances are you're not going to be
able to sit down like I'm 5'7
and i definitely couldn't sit down
without having some sort of a wardrobe
malfunction
i would recommend these if you're a more
petite person i think they're going to
look wonderful on you
when the mini skirt didn't work out so
well for me my shopping buddy she came
over
and she held up this midi skirt and
it's not really a style that i would
typically go for but she convinced me to
try it on and I'm really glad that she
did
I think it's flattering I think the way
it hits you at the knee is going to
elongate your legs a bit more
and because of the length there's some
extra versatility you can wear it with
sandals in the summer
or you can pair it with a pair of
knee-high boots in the winter
Levi's ribcage straight leg jeans are
one of my favorite pairs that I tried on
but my main issue with these ones is
that they were cropped and when you've
got a straight leg
that doesn't taper and it's cropped then
it's going to make your leg look a
little bit shorter
I love the high waisted jeans these are
the highest waisted jeans that Levi's
makes
but at the end of the day I also want a
long straight leg
I don't want to have any cropping
because i want my legs to look longer
if on the other hand you're someone with
a lot of shoes that you want to show off
then the cropped leg could be for you
another pair of jeans that I have and
can be considered part of my haul
are the Levi's 721 high-rise skinnies
so like the name says there's a high
waist and there is skinny jean
these ones are a lot more skinny than
the Levi's 501s
which i actually think are a bit more of
a fitted straight leg
but if you're looking for a pair of
skinny jeans i think these ones are
really nice
they're a bit stretchy but really
comfortable skinny jeans are not
the jeans of the day but they make a lot
of people look really good if you're
looking for a sleek look
then this might be a pair that you
should look into I think the moral of
the story is you have to try
jeans on I've never had an experience
where so many jeans that i tried on
just didn't fit me I mean I think that
just a few little adjustments here and
there would have really made a big
difference
and there are a lot of pairs that do
exist just not at that store
that really would suit me I'm curious to
hear what you think about
Levi's jeans please leave comments down

thoughts thanks so much for watching
