7 Petite Styling Secrets Every Short Woman Must Learn

Thank you for the advice!!! I've struggled with pants but your advice is super helpful 💜

omg i always wear leggings😂i wanna change it up but idk what to wear

Thanks chi for tricks and information it helps a lot.

Wish i was 5,2

I am so happy I found you. I am almost 6 feet tall and learning so much from you channel

Stunning Style tutorial ❤

You are beautiful and profi 😍

Hi chi who that handsome guy measuring you. Woo woo 💛🙏🥰

I'm thin so when I wear wide legs I gain pounds. If you're short and need to look heavier, wear wide legs. Go back and look at how each photo shows this.

Where can we find a flare leg stretchable jeans?

I'm not even short and I'm learning so much from your videos. Love all the examples you include with your explanation!

Excellent advise

I'm just north of 5'3 (163 cm). The struggle is real. Especially in a country where so many people are tall. =/

As a 5 foot tall woman you cannot fathom how happy I am that I found you!!!! I have been slowly figuring out some of these things but it took me way too long!

statement necklace can also divide and overwhelm

Something I struggle with, aside from my hight and gained chub, is the fact that I have a very sensitive stomach. In many instances I would love to wear a skirt that goes above my belly button, but it is usually the band of the skirt/pants/jeans that make me quickly feel uncomfortable and sometimes even sick/in pain.
However your video gave me great advice and I will see to it that I shorten my tops and elongate my pants as far as I can. :D
Something I also like doing is to draw the eye upwards, not just through color contrast, but hues or patterns/prints. I am also happy to hear that I am good to wear scarfs, they are my biggest essential in winter when it gets really cold here.
The shoe tip was also great and I will keep that in mind especially. Thanks again for your great work!

Love

Dress 👗 👍

I'm average hight but still have the same problems when wearing clothes. Thank you @petitedressing!

It seems to me that these tips are also suitable for girls with a body proportion when her torso is long and her legs are short, regardless of height

if you’re a well proportioned petite woman and thin, skinny jeans will be very flattering on you…also if you’re well proportioned you will look best in midrise jeans and pants not highrise, highrise is for women with long torsos and short legs because it hides part of the torso and make it look shorter therefore making you look more proportioned

Kibbe says we need to honor petite by wearing different colors.

Some of us have c section pooches and cant do this

Full length pants tend to make the figure bottom heavy. Showing just the ankle (no capri pants !) makes it lighter (the ankle is the slimmest part of the leg !).

It is not styling rules, it is common sense, géométry, architecture

The crown of the hat adds heigth to the figure

Match your shoes to your bottom = elongates the legs, makes you look taller.

No, no, no, I don’t dress to look taller, I dress to please my eyes, to feel better, to give myself a boost. I cannot do anything about my size, so why worry about the unnecessary things. I guarantee you 9/10, I usually get a compliment when I am out there.
You can try every trick on earth to achieve an illusion, but dressing yourself becomes easier when you dress to please your eyes, because it boosts your confidence. Advice from an under 5’ senior citizen, look to please your eyes, no one else’s, because having confidence stretches you way beyond your actual size.

1. This definitely isn't changing my life.

2. The whole point of your fashion advice is to make people try to appear different than they are, and to all look thinner and taller. Maybe that's not everyone's goal.

Great tips, dear Chi! Wearing short tops is definitely a game changer. Also to bear in mind that " Your legs are only as long as of your pants". Thanks, Chi!

I only wear short tops, or tuck in longer ones. The best thing I ever did for my style was to get rid of all those tunic tops, they made my whole figure look even shorter, bigger and blocky. Long tops are back on trend, but they are more fitted and, often, open from hem to waist. I might try one, but I love my tops waistband to hip-hipbone length. I agree with Chi, the short-too over long-bottom is the most flattering.

The problem I run into with 1 piece outfits are they will often be too long in length.

What about peplum blouse to hide moma belly?

Does the same rules apply to a moma belly. To wear a short blouse and long pants?

I always have problems of following styling guides - either I get bored or I don't think I will remember the guides when I dress up. But with your videos, it's so fun to watch and your points make total sense that I remember them when I shop. Thanks a lot for making these types of videos.

Huge thanks and immense gratitude to Chi for bringing clarity to the befuddled world of dressing for we short girls.
Ladies, l love this community and learn a lit from all of you. It really makes for hilarious reading. Am 67 was 5'2", of course now l'm shrinking. Did l know that? Hell no .... just noticed clothes looked off! Reading all your experiences is a tonic! Just have to laugh. Have realused that l cannot wear tops that have too much fabric as they overwhelm my frame. Soooo, have taken in a couple of loose shirts, it's made a Huge difference.
Be encouraged ladies, thank you all ❤

Disagree with the large bag (it's multi-use for me, book, computer, tissues, plus, plus, plus, etc.,.) The thing with the large bag is to get one that is not too large. Agree with the cross body bag - I shorten the strap to my body and I use it along with my larger or backpack because I live in the city and do a lot of walking and commuting for work and shopping. (I use cross body because for safety and theft protection -it's easy to have it grabbed from the shoulder than when worn across the body.)

In my country it's only possible to wear a jacket in winter. How do you go about wearing a jacket then as it's too cold to roll up the sleeves.

Thank you.😊
