Flats are TRICKY for short women- here's the dos and don'ts if you are petite (like me)

Sometimes the fun is in an unusual eyecatching shoe.

Now I know!!!!

So glad I found this video! Disregard other comment on hourglass video 😅

What low socks are you wearing with your shoes, the no-show socks? I bought so many that don’t work.

I’m short, fat, and have severe back problems. Because of my back problems I cannot wear heels.

What's your story? You look like your life has been very sad.

I am 66 and till today i still ware heels 5cm approx.
Although the suggestions are good they always show the front side...but no matter what you do, from the back legs look short without heels!

Thank you so much!! I am a five footer and I wish I had known about you sooner, I have learned so much in this single video 🤗

Love how informative your videos are. Keep them coming!
Thank you

I'm short + wide calves 💀 cuff jeans is a noooo go on me. Straight Jean looks like skinny on me, so I go with that and get it to pass my ankle to elongate....try to at least. 😅

You keep advising wearing nude, beige or brown shoes. I loathe the whole beige/brown palette, from cream to dark chocolate brown, and avoid it like the plague. What other shoe colours would you recommend please?

Great tips! What sucks though, is that most of these shoes are uncomfortable to wear. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Again, it is SO hard to find cropped tops and jackets in Women’s Petite: 1XP, 2 XP, 3 XP. Manufacturers pay attention. Also I also prefer low vamp: so why do so many manufacturers make high vamp shoes ?I hate them.

Lug soles not loook bad on short women! It’s that length of you pants and where they hit

Pointy toe d'orsay shoes are my favorite flats, I highly recommend.

I went to check out the cropped beige ‘trench like’ jacket and your sizing is WAY TOO SMALL. Your size Large only has a chest size up to 39”? Very disappointing. I was really hoping your petite line might be the answer…I was surprised and disappointed that you of all people are not offering sizes for ‘average’ ( North American) size women. I am petite as in short…that doesn’t mean ‘small’. I cannot find any cropped items because when I get them in a size that actually fits my chest or waist/ tummy area then everything else is wayyyy too long and no longer cropped. Please extend your sizing. In most brands I have encountered, a 39” bust is definitely not considered a size 14. ( or even a size 12 often). I know there is no standard sizing but seriously? Just something to consider as you continue your brand. I would also prefer higher quality, more natural fabrics rather than mostly polyester. I can get that at Old Navy and don’t have to pay over $100. Just some hopefully ‘constructive’ feedback. Not trying to be mean or critical..just a bit frustrated.

Nice.

Trash the planet and look good.

I don't like the chunky loafers..and i was right,we agree Chi..

Thank you lovely 🥰

Thank you so much!

I’m in my 50’s & I’ve never ever been able to wear flats. I must have a wedge or heel. Thank God for hidden wedge sneakers & boots. They’re stylish & I don’t feel frumpy.

I love your advice for petite dressing however I don't actually agree with the illustration at 3.24 . I think the image on the right with jeans touching shoes actually elongated the leg more as in the actual " leg " looks longer because the denim material goes on for longer if that makes sense. I think cuffing can actually visually shorten the leg in 2 ways because not only have you cut off your leg length of fabric but you create a 2nd horizontal with the actual cuffed inside out part of the fabric. It's just my opinion

I am so thankful that I have found this video! Please make a video of winter, I live in Poland and it is really long winter, I feel I need instructions 😂

Hi I'm from Glasgow love your video I'm just 4ft 9 .

I always love how your videos turn fashion into science. 💖

I just wanted to say, I love the new line of clothing on your store. So classy and sophisticated! Love the dresses especially. It would be great to see more cropped jackets that are more firm fitting and less baggy

I would really love a fall/winter boots/booties edition of what shoes to wear with what!

Short women do not necessarily have short legs.

Yes, their legs are shorter in comparison to tall women, BUT
their legs are :

1. TALL
2. OK
3. SHORT

in proportion to their all over height.

By SHORT LEGS phrase, which one are you referring to :

- In comparison to taller women
Or
- In comparison to their own body height ?

I’m going shoe shopping now! 🛍️💖🤩

Hi Chi , I’m so thankful for all your tips , Thx so much . Pls could you advise us on nail polish colour ideas for a quiet luxury wardrobe or neutral wardrobe .

PLS,Tell me,what’s your height ?

Nope. Not showing my ankle. Too cold. I always wear socks. Comfort before looks. 😊

Anybody have this problem with heels and ballet flats? It fits the toes but it’s too big around the heel. And no heel grips help me.

I’m seriously in love with your channel! 💞 I’m 26 years old and never really got into fashion because it was extremely difficult to style as a petite (which I recently realized because I thought this referred to your weight and not your height). Now that I’m trying to elevate my style, finding your channel and learning the basics have been so helpful! I cannot thank you enough for all the content you’ve provided over the years. Now I’m binge watching and I’ve learned so much. Thank you!! 🥹🙏🏼

Great Tips!

💯 low vamp !!! I have this issue with sneakers !

I'm flamboyant gamine (5'2) and nude shoes are boring on me... I'm wearing chunky shoes and animal prints and it looks great!!

Thank you for the informatieve video Chi. ❤

Can a plus size, short gal where a cropped jacket? Very heavy lower body.

Me encantan tus videos ¡¡ muchas gracias ¡¡ no se hablar inglés...pero estos videos me inspiran mucho a aprender ... soy bajita y me sirven mucho tus consejos ¡¡ para vestir mejor ¡¡

Thank you so much for your videos! Could you do the same for flat winter shoes?

I love chunky loafers and I don’t care if I look short- I’m a proud petite!

I love chunky loafers, I’m short too, a nude chunky loafer does the trick !

My rules: #1. I match my shoe color to my pants. At the very least, blend them. #2. Also, my pant length covers my shoes almost entirely, so my shoes aren't terribly visible. For example, I have snake print booties, but I wear them with long gray pants. They blend. #3. For skirts, I wear shoes that match or blend closely with my skintone or tights color.

Could the chunky shoes be off-set by matching the leg? Sometimes I want to dress like I'd crush the world under my soles 😂

Thank hou Chi, I learn so much from your videos. 🙏

LOVE this channel!! I’m revamping my closet using these videos as a base for my closet rules 🫶🏽
