other0:53options that accentuate your straight0:54leg on top of it right perfect we're0:57going to do it okay all right let's see0:59some great1:00[Music]1:03options this is a barrel leg from ever1:06this is the Jean I think if this is new1:08to you if you're interested in it but it1:10feels a little scary this is going to be1:12the one that's just going to ease you1:13right into this trend tons of room1:15through the butt hip and thigh I love1:17that it just gives a slight little bear1:19look which is great to create a smaller1:21waist not too long and I'm obsessed with1:23this wash we've been calling this kind1:25of barrel is so really the signature1:28details of a barrel or a barreless Jean1:30are a nipped in Waist slight curve at1:33the leg and then the Hem can either be1:36rolled or straight but one of the ways I1:38think it's easiest to wear is showing a1:40little bit of ankle so this is a1:42Citizens of Humanity Dalia baby roll I1:46love this for petites because it's not1:48overwhelming and you know how I'm really1:49leaning into this silhouette I'm1:51thinking of it as the new boyfriend Jean1:53this is my weekend knock around I love1:56it for that reason it's comfy easy can1:58chase the kids do all the things and2:00still feel like I kind of have a put2:02together look even when I'm just pairing2:03it with the tea so cute and if you want2:04to go a little bit more for night out2:06comes in this gorgeous darker wash in2:09that Jia baby roll so okay we have so2:12many more options crew I'm going to send2:13Heidi to the dressing room this time2:16yeah you look so cute I know so fun okay2:20tell us about it okay so here's the deal2:22this is the pistola Eli what's great2:25about this trend is not just for denim2:27it's definitely showing up in lots and2:29lots of bottoms this is also available2:31in a jean which is great but tons of2:34stretch so here's a little Insider tip a2:36lot of this Barrel or barrish silhouette2:39has this in set piece in it what that2:41does it helps soften that curve a little2:43bit and also gives you extra room and2:46stretch which I am a huge fan of of2:48course who isn't right I love it okay2:49can we talk about styling let's talk2:51about styling and proportion and you2:54know what we're going to talk about2:54shoes too do it because all that's going2:56to make it great okay real talk it real2:58talk it we okay I love that Heidi has3:01paired this with a more fitted top it's3:04creating that balance from her shoulder3:06all the way down to the bottom what's3:07really key here is she tucked it all the3:09way in what that's doing is going to3:11create an incredible waste keeping that3:13eye there I think that's always3:14important no matter if you're more3:15dramatic bottom or a less dramatic3:18version of this I think the other thing3:20that's super key here is look at her3:21Footwear crew a simple silhouette3:24creating that balance so the eye goes to3:26the bottoms and a little bit of a heel3:27and a lift just so you don't feel like3:29oh3:30all bottom heavy I love that what if you3:32don't want to wear a really fitted top3:34true the secret here is just showing3:35that waist so you can take a top like3:37this throw a little jacket Blazer even a3:40button down that's open over it all3:42about showing the waist or showing skin3:46little bit of relax top too you can show3:47a little bit of skin through a tank or a3:50t-shirt I love what you did here with3:51this where you did a little half tuck I3:53think that really helps to draw the eye3:55in mhm I also just threw on like a3:58little bit of a cuff so just giving a3:59little bit more exposure in the arm just4:01making you feel a little bit longer and4:03taller we've talked about a lot yeah
