I do think finding jeans that fit perfectly is like finding a needle in a hay stack. I alter most of my jeans to fit. Tailoring is by life , my business. I recommend finding a wonderful tailor to help look your best.❤

So real ... hunting THE jeans is never ending. You are exactly right about the leg shape. All the straight jeans are tapered at the moment and not real straights.

Im Retired too but find I buy more adventurous clothes now because people have already written you off unless your clothes say ' im interesting' xxx

I suggest you go vintage shopping when it comes to Levi's. They're way better when someone has already broken them in. I love Levi jeans even the vintage ones have lasted the longest in my wardrobe.

I think I found the style you’re looking for: Zara stovepipe jeans. They’re cropped and slightly flared at the hem. Very reasonably priced too.

Agree. Zara is great for jeans and always on trend. I always hit Zara up first and at 5’10” size 4 I wear at Zara, I always manage to find one pair that ticks all the boxes.

The jacket is a reinterpetation of an early 80's Guess coat that combined two different denims, stone wash and a grey denim that was called 'off the wall'.

Randomly, Jean culture has brought me back to department stores. It’s just the easiest most logical way because you can see all the brands denim / compare them / and even see designer denim like Acne Studios or some newer brands that you just don’t get if you go to individual boutiques. Good luck on the hunt! I just found a great pair - AG denim - but all people are so “on trend” that there were no sizes in the store 🙄 so I’ll have to suck it up and buy online even though I prefer in store shopping ❤ xoxo

i loved your natural curly big hair style❤

I have a kind of crazy denim collection. I purchase them all second hand and I love them. I have brand names, no names and just weird stuff. It's fun! I don't worry about the size. I eyeball everything. Each pair has a certain vibe and look great with different items of clothing I own.

Over the decades I have purchased so many different jeans, some of them very highly priced. Now it ends up that the jeans that fit me the best and are actually really comfortable are from the Gap! I have since given away all the pricey ones! 😀🇨🇦

I’ll say it again, people sleep on the Gap ! I always find mine there and I buy online. Haven’t been in the store in ages. I hate stretch so I look at non-stretch versions. J. Crew is another favorite of mine. I put that in a comment when she said she was going to make this type of video.

I enjoy watching you shop but I want what everyone is wearing in NY always interesting and real people with unique style

Every pair of jeans will fit differently. You need to know what size waist and rising need and probably bring a measuring tape or have that measured. But they can be altered. I’m short and I need to have them altered frequently.

Loved the video… The last shot with you standing in the garage with that red pole behind you, above your head matching your bag!!! 🥹 it’s the artistic expression for me!!! Thank you!

I love watching your shopping process.

Yesss to a series on jeans (and or denim as a whole). You have given me renewed courage to shop for jeans again, merci beaucoup ! Btw that jacket at BG was gorgeous on you!💙

All cotton jeans have the potential to become a personal work of art over time, with stretching and gentle fading. Ppl now have no idea what they’re missing.

I love your new hair style, so fresh and cool

Zara, for sure, and the price point is great. I searched, “MID RISE STRAIGHT LEG CROP JEAN” and saw some good pairs. The Z1975 even flicks out at the bottom like you said.

I always have good luck with GAP jeans.

Love your energy and your videos Karen! Try Aussie brand Nobody Denim at The Outnet. You may like the Hardy High Rise Straight Leg which is cropped.

Alteration is key! Get the jeans that has the most potential and get it altered to your body shape. It’s a game changer for me. less stress going around shops looking for the perfect jeans when you can create one for an already existing one. ❤

Pointless, if you have to pay twice, plus headache of finding someone good to alter the clothes. I personally dont want that headache. If i walk into a shop, I expect any purchases to fit correctly, so I'm not wasting time, with returning or altering. (Which is why i dont like online shopping). Doing returns is inconvenient.

I love denim, but finding the right fit and style is a real (frustrating) challenge. good luck on your perfect jeans quest.

Thank you! You too!

Really enjoy all your NY shopping escapades-eye candy for me trapped in “mid” land w/ no inspo! I’m glad you’re feeling better as Spring is unfolding. 🌸 I recently settled on a pair of Old Navy Wow Boyfriend jeans of all things after a two-year search. I’m short-waisted, so midrise is a must for me, and I prefer the straight cut-totally agree tapered leg is an abomination 😆. At first I was motivated to shop in store, but ran out of patience and steam and turned to online. Online is what I’ll be doing for jeans going forward-endlessly teetering on each leg in store after store isn’t my idea of a good time anymore, ya know? Looking forward to seeing what you find!

I loved that jean jacket and those barrel leg jeans in Bergdorf.

When I go shopping for jeans I always carry a thermos of martinis…

I have good luck with Abercrombie & H&M lately also, this brand called “Closed” from Italy I am loving!

i thought it was just me...with the jeans thing. Being old....i now know that good jeans are like the weather....some years they are great and some years they are shitty. when i find a pair that fit I buy a bunch...cos i know the next year they're going to suck again. good luck:)

That is a great question! And, I struggle with buying multiple online or shopping in person all the time! I really don't know which is worst. I usually just end up going shopping IRL- for economic purposes- at least initially

You should try G-Star Raw denim jeans. I’ve always found a pair that fits. (For wider style jeans pick one or two sizes smaller)

The struggle

Live in Texas but originally from the Bronx, NY. I love to see you walk through the streets of NYC shopping. I live vicariously through you now. Toodles.

Karen!! This video is so on point. I have the exact same experience with jeans in the Netherlands. The only way to find a really yummy pair is to hunt for them at the thrift and vintage store. Do they no longer make great jeans??🤷🏻‍♀️. Also I wanted to say that your what people are wearing videos are so so good!! In my book they show the real streetstyle. The so called streetstyle at fashion month is just influencers wearing outfits on loan from the brands. Yes, they pick their outfits, but still. That is not genuine streetstyle, but marketing strategy (my opinion). I love your high/low mixing and your personal style is chef's kiss❤

love that you are using a 4k camera now! so good to watch you big on the TV haha

I've been eyeing that same denim skirt from Other Stories! I wish they had it in black or grey denim but I think I might just have to get it, the shape is so beautiful.

Thanks so much

I love that skirt. I agree it's always a struggle looking for jeans.

My absolute best jean finds come from my local thrift stores. My fav wide leg jeans (vintage Pepe Jeans) I scored from the men's section at Goodwill. I also found a bejeweled straight leg as well at a Goodwill. I get tons of compliments from both.

So what I find is a lot of jeans fit Loose at the waist but if you get it tailored because some of the jeans looked Really good on you but for the back and the gap so you could get it tailored to fit.

Thankyou fantastic volg I'm on the hunt for the perfect jeans as well It's hard work x

I have my vintage denim gored maxi skirt from the 80's in perfect dark wash condition ! Back in style i see !

I know you weren’t in love with the Levi’s reconstructed barrel jeans, but I think they looked bad ass on you! Think I’m gonna go get those in your honor😬☺️

Hi Karen! Love your videos! Try Abercrombie & Finch. They've really done a great job recreating their denim selection. Best of luck!

Totally agree that the array of cuts and styles that are named similarly makes jeans shopping a nightmare. I spent hours trying on jeans at guess where? OLD NAVY the place I thought I'd never be again but they had pair after pair that were what i was looking for, just not the wash, over-distressed in that perfect fit and fabric. I ended up placing online orders and wait with bated breath that my calculations will prove successful. TRY the OG straight! Choose your length.

Lately I've had luck with Madewell and Gap, the high waist straight leg crop style but that was a couple of years ago now, the sky high style, which fit me perfectly in one wash and not the same at all in a different wash lol, as well we have Winners in Canada and I've lucked out there too bc they have many different brands, I have just started my spring jean search and so far nothing at all, so good luck to us all!🙌💫

I would,absolutely love to see you shop vintage classics like a 101 upload including jeans☺️♥️.

Vintage Levi’s always make your behind the best!

Jeans are hard, R-13, Nili Lotan interesting brands for denim.

Thank you Karen I’ve been waiting on the perfect Jean also ❤

the agolde 90s mid rise straight (they have them in crop too) are one of my favourites. good indigo washes too 💙

I knew you was going to get the skirt, is so beautiful 😍

Hello Karen. I watched for long tedious search for a perfect jeans! Have you thought about purchasing from the men section because their jeans are sized by waist and length. That way you can find the perfect waist and cropped length for YOU! 😃 I hope this helps you end your search.❤

That had crossed my mind 😊

You’re a warrior, Karen. Thank you for doing the research for us. My jeans range over 3 sizes becuz you just don’t know until you try.

These day I do not have time like you mentioned, so do researching by internet on about 2:00 am and go and check those brands interesting (because materials must to be checked real one) on Thursday evening (less people) and order i them you think interesting from the online and let all arrive my home. Try them comfortably at your home with all your other to be coordinated with item and buy best one and return all back. This is most effective way as cost wise as well as best shopping method I achieved finally… you do not need what you don’t! 😊

love your energy! as for straight leg jeans, my favorite are Lee jeans. Test them out! oh, and they won't break the bank😂

Love your hair!!!

Gap & Old Navy Jeans seem to be my go to jeans lately?

You are so loved! I need to come with you when you buy jeans. I work at Free People. You always take a measuring tape (I keep a tiny one in my make up case ) You should take out your favorite jeans before you leave the house measure the rise measure the length, the waist and measure the hips. This way you are armed with knowledge about your body. Before you take things off the rack, you can measure them and say no this is going to be too big or this rise is going to be higher than I want. Last, regarding the barrel jeans from Free People, if you go up a size, they have more drape and more movement. Love you.!

Excellent idea!

I would highly recommend Decade Studios jeans. They have size 25-40, fantastic cuts, and high quality denim

After trying jeans at every price range I basically only get Top Shop and Good American jeans now. But I do like a little bit of stretch to my jeans mostly because it’s that stretch that makes jeans fit so well. I like the idea of non stretch denim and how it looks and feels, but ultimately fit matters most!

shopping live is part of the fun for me

Hey Karren, I feel for you, I've done the same thing in London, In the end there is only one jean company that fits perfectly R13 - Expensive but premium Japanese denim . . . As you say time is money - Good Luck !!!

I loved the denim jacket and I highly recommend the Decjuba brand from Australia. I don’t know if you can get it over there.

The hunt for the perfect pair of jeans is PAINFUL, so I felt your frustration in the fitting rooms. I think your best bet would be vintage shops because they go back to a time where they cut clothes better and you will have so much choice at great prices! I'm sure you will find what you want... like the Camel Coat! LOL OG of this channel will remember that hunt!

I just picked up those COS jeans that you said were too short for you and I love them x

I bought a fish tail skirt similar to the one you purchased. Mine is from COS with a matching jean jacket (Panelled Flared Denim Skirt and Denim Moto Jacket). When I bought the set, I thought of you, thinking it may be something you may wear, because we have similar tastes. A few weeks later, surely enough, I see you buy a similar skirt. Lol! 😆 Have you checked out NOEND Denim? I bought their Bella Seamed Pocket Wide jean early this year and looove it! They have a variety of cuts. Perhaps, “Remastered Upcycled Crop Straight” jean or “Eve High Rise Crop Slim Straight” jean might be what you’re looking for? They also have mid-rise kick flare cropped jeans, such as the “Frankie Mid Rise Kick Flare” jean or “Farrah Mid Rise Kick Flare” jean.

This used to be me!! I found and now loyal to Neuw denim - love the Nico Straight jeans (only 1% elastane) great price point, fit & retro wholesomeness vibe - totally recommend purchased in Australia and possibly available online globally

I love, 1822 denim for its fit, not sure if they are on trend, but they work for me.

Agolde and Khaite may have some jeans.

Somehow, I have scored 2 perfect(?!) pairs of jeans last month, both from online second hand app!! They were like 10$ each! I had such good luck with them. Asking for heck ton of measurements from the seller helps ofc but even that doesn't make it 100% surely fitting. I know the model of vintage Levi's that fits me and the size that I need to get them in (obvi helps too)😁💫 I need just need to size up 3-4sizes for them so that my pooper would fit in lol. They are often a bit big from the waist but I'll take them in or wear lower waisted and zadaa, they work!💫

I'd hit the men's section for some Rustler/Wranglers Relaxed Straight fit jeans. I have long legs so I opt for 34 inch inseams, but they have a variety of lengths for that cropped look.

Great video.❤

I like the vintage/preowned Levis 569 one waist size and than I crop to the length I like. They flair out just a bit to balance the hip line. Just an idea. The struggle is real.

Thanks Karen, you are fantastic, 🌟

Rag & Bone Petyon Mid-Rise Jeans. I think they are bootcut, but they are truly not to me. They do exactly what you said, straight leg that just flick out at the end to match your hips. I love them!

Hi Karen, love your videos; have you tried the Gloria Vanderbilt brand jeans? I’ve always come back to them for a great fit (the waist ,hip fit is good along with a proper length

The frustration and despair was felt and understood through the screen. Finding a good pair of jeans if you are curvy or have a bum is a nightmare. Always find it that vintage is the way to go.

I have the same problem!!! Love this vídeo!!! ❤

If you are getting a gap in waist then try curvy fit. Madewell has a nice selection of curvy fit jeans and so does Everlane. Both carry 99% or 100% cotton jeans. I also hate stretchy jeans. If you don’t want a straight leg that tapers, try madewell’s 90’s jeans. They are a true straight leg. Good luck!
