Rather than analyzing body types, I prefer to judge the fit of the garment by its quality. I think about the design intent and then compare that to the way it’s made. Is this piece living up to its promise? Or is it executed without integrity? Integrity comes at a wide range of price points. Just because something is expensive doesn’t mean I’ll value the way it’s produced. Something that’s made of humble materials in a simple way often does have integrity. Someone decided to make toast instead of baking a loaf of brioche, and that’s fine. What I don’t like is trying to pass off bagged, sliced bread as pannetone because the bakery added some raisins. The jeans in the video both have similar slopes to the thighs, so the cuts are similar enough to compare quality. Rougher fabrics tend to balloon sideways or bunch up; think crumpled paper. Sometimes we prefer a rougher fabric, there’s nothing inherently bad about it. In wide jeans, I want to see a straight line from the hip to the floor. For that, the fabric needs to drape straight down like a curtain in front of a stage. This is a way to evaluate jeans no matter what they cost. I’m sure there are expensive jeans that don’t drape that well and affordable jeans that do. LTKfindsunder50 LTKstyletip LTKVideo
