CLOTHING I AVOID AS A PETITE / Petite Style Tips Part 3!

[@anareginacoronado1147]

What I love about being petite is that you also look younger. I would have never guessed you were a mom.

[@ElanaKinda]

Yes!! That’s so true! I honestly LOVE being petite :)

[@clicklynn]

It’s funny because for me it’s a bit of an opposite opinion haha. I’m 152 cm and I’m asian in Russia which means that I look like a 13 years old kid + i have babyface which adds up, to the point that even compared to asians I look younger 😂

[@anareginacoronado1147]

@@clicklynn I feel you, i'm in my late 20s and it is also awkward when teenagers flirt with you.

@@anareginacoronado1147 yes! I'm 29 and much younger men approach me and its like I can be your mother lol!

[@victoriabiel5861]

ALL petite women can wear midi or maxi dresses. However, I admit it takes a lot of searching and trying on many dresses until you find just the right one. My advice is to keep the dress simple, not too voluminous, a light airy fabric with flow, and always define the waistline. It's such a romantic, feminine look that it's a shame to discard it. Don't forget-in the past all women wore long dresses, all the time. Short skirts have only been in fashion these last hundred years. It's simply a matter of learning what kind of long dress works for you.

[@sajalkim3160]

Yeah you are telling just right because I can wear long shirts and a wide leg pants because it suits me because of my body shape. Besides, height your body shape matters a lot in your dress styling. There are many tall girls on to which wide leg pants don't suit because of their body shape

[@rosawolke2788]

True, midi skirts are perfect for petites

[@seashell8596]

I'm 30 years old, 4' 11" and haven't grown since 5th grade! I totally agree that when I dress better and wear heels, I get more respect in the workplace. Sometimes buying a maxi dress that's set as midi fits just like a regular maxi dress for me. May not work for all petite ladies, but it works for me. So glad I found your channel! Thanks for sharing your tips!

[@tatoopukis]

I am 5'1 and I really dislike to wear skinny jeans, because you exactly can see where my legs starts and finish, straight leg jeans is my jam!!!

[@ElanaKinda]

That totally makes sense! I love straight legs jeans too

[@ashleysw]

I like a slim boot cut but I have thick thighs so maybe I feel it balances that out you know.

[@doris1998]

I hate skinny jeans on me too because I have hips and have a more rectangular shape

[@strawberrydreamgirl1248]

i agree and same

[@immortalfirefly0641]

lol i feel you

[@seethap865]

Heyyy, great video, I agree with most of what you mentioned, except the last bit about wide leg jeans. As long as you wear something well fitted on top I think wide jeans can look very flattering on a petite. I am 5'1 and that is one of my all time go to looks. I believe the trick is to reveal more skin on top and balance your proportions out.

[@ElanaKinda]

Thanks for sharing gf!! :)

[@angiesmith9030]

Thank you for posting these videos. All my life I’ve tended toward having a negative view of my height (a fraction over 4’11”). Now at age 42 I’m trying to make peace with it through learning how to look my best. I appreciate your videos giving helpful style tips and showing that being petite can look beautiful.

[@denisedorsey2889]

This is exactly why I have begun to sew my own garments.

[@ElanaKinda]

I used to do that too! but stopped because it was so time consuming. I definitely want to learn to alter clothing again though

[@creativecheersoffashionlau7364]

Elana Kinda I just commented on this video too and now see your reply here. I have a youtube channel in which I show how you can easily recreate things you see in the shops or how you can quickly alter. Maube you like to check thst out? When you are petit it is great when you can do thst yourself. That is why I started it many many years ago!

[@littletez85]

I love boot cut jeans I keep the inseam long and wear them with heels and they just make my short legs look so much longer. This year I bought my first pair of ribcage flare jeans (from AE) and I'm in love!!! They fit perfect and I wear them with platform wedges and my legs look super long!!! I wish all my jeans are like that! I have a long torso and short legs and I'm 5 ft and half an inch. I didn't think I'd like flares but I love it! I'm so glad that they are making ribcage-high rise jeans... finally somethings that fits me right!

[@Kera707]

I love bootcut jeans. I feel the flare balances out my top heavy body. I always go back to them even after I trying different style

[@LuckyRain0rig]

[@ElanaKinda]

Aw! Thank you! I just cut a bunch of it off and miss this length so much lol

[@angeleyn]

Hi Elana. I'm a petite gal too and I find myself agreeing with a lot of your tips. I do get away with wearing midi length dresses/skirts as long as I make sure it has a high waistline and wearing some sort of heels. Thanks for sharing!

[@ElanaKinda]

thats awesome! :) I personally don't think they look good on me but I wanna give it another try! finding a petite option or tailoring it for my specific body type :)

[@creativecheersoffashionlau7364]

I love and wear midiskirts and -dresses a lot! And I am 5.2 and rather small. But I love the look but you must wear a bit of a heel underneath. I think it looks nice( and I am a certified stylist).

[@ElanaKinda]

Thank you for the tip!! :)

[@creativecheersoffashionlau7364]

Elana Kinda I have a youtube channel where I show how you can easily recreate things you see in the shops or how you can quickly alter them. Just sew you comment thst you used to sew too. As a petit it is very handy when you can make things yourself so maybe you like to check it out. I also often give styling tips for the things I make. See you! 😄

[@Romikajasrotia]

I agree, as I am getting closer to my 40s, I am starting to move towards midi dresses also. I am 5’ but with comfortable heels, I feel one can pull off midi. It looks good in professional settings also. Good option to have on the days when you don’t want to wear sheath dresses. I personally feel you would look great in midi and should definitely give it a try.

[@merrywalsh2809]

I agree. If you wear a nude sandal or shoe with a 1&1/2” or 2” block heel it looks nice.

[@teresabelshaw6694]

i would love to have a stylist but i cant afford one.😐😐😐

[@melissakremer270]

If you're a petite biggest saving grace is learning how to hem ( skirts dresses jeans) your cloths or go take them into a shop! It makes a huge difference! 3/4 is the golden rule for you short ladies out there (:

[@immortalfirefly0641]

aw i feel ya

[@wondernessful]

I’m petite also and all of these actually work nicely on me lol. It just goes to show that every woman’s body is different and beautiful 💖

[@SH-pm3dm]

I think one should stick to whatever looks good on her regardless one is petite or tall. If look good, wear it!

[@ElanaKinda]

totally! In the end, wear what makes you happy :)

[@Diamondcolliedog]

This is such great advice and a great series 👏 It's hard to be petite and follow fashion bc all the models and influencers etc aren't typically representative

[@ElanaKinda]

Exactly! Especially models.. Whats pictured on a model isn't how its going to look like on us. But honestly, now, retailers are starting to use models with different body shapes which I appreciate so much! Even if it still isn't the same shape that we have, its nice to see brands do this.

[@bellebb8673]

Also important to consider are your proportions. I am a petite with a short torso and (relatively) long legs. Midi dresses are fine when hemmed just below the knee, not to the calf. And capri pants have to be fitted, never baggy, and end right below the knee, not the calf, and worn with low vamp flats that dont have an ankle strap. Its about proportion as well as overall height.

[@ElanaKinda]

I totally agree with looking into proportions! Everyone has a different body type even if the same height, it really just depends!

[@tanairigonzalez9793]

Virginia Mallonee thanks for the tips I am short torso as well

[@eileensilverstein5819]

Yes, right below the knee is a great length! But mid-calf? A little out of proportion.

[@eileensilverstein5819]

Yes! I have a few capris that I had hemmed right below the knee and they look cute with ballet flats or sandals. But the wider ones look hideous!

[@bellebb8673]

@@eileensilverstein5819 Wider calf-length capri pants look very frumpy and aging IMO, no matter what your heighth or weight. And as I've gotten older, more and more of my friends are wearing them. I'm not talking about the longer wide cropped pants which are on trend right now, although personally I'm going to give them a miss as well. I'm talking about what were called pedal pushers when I was about 12, which is the age they are suited for. I've thought about saying something to my friends, but think they would probably be offended. Such a bad look. And can be easily adjusted with a sewing machine in less than 20 minutes.

[@xbambixo]

As a petite, I’ve learned to alter clothes like a pro! Honestly I could even shop in the little girls for certain things (XXL) and at most add a couple of darts or seams for shape/curves

[@ElanaKinda]

Wow!!! Good job girlfriend!!! I used to know how to sew years ago and would do the same!! Definitely need to get back at it, it’s such a useful skill to have plus can save lots of money instead of taking it to someone else to alter!

[@robynwells8249]

I agree with all your suggestions. I also find petite tops are too short in the arms and tight in the shoulders.The one item I do buy petite sizes in is longer cardigans. I usually size up one size. This way the cardigan hits at my lower hip rather than way down my leg.

[@ElanaKinda]

yes totally agree! and thats a really good tip on cardigans too! thank you :)

[@nataliamatelski7595]

I just bought boot cut jeans. I'm 5'2" but very busty. My logic was it would balance me. Now I wanna see you in boot cut jeans.

[@lesliechu5492]

Completely agreed with all but one being 5’2 myself, top heavy with relatively short legs! I have a midi dress that looks great on me but only because it is a v-neck and in a petite size which also does cut off at the waist perfectly. Thank you for such an informative video!

[@Lowdermoomoo]

I think the juniors section is a goldmine for basics, I also love sneaking a platform ankle boot or sandal under some high waisted bootcut pants and it makes me look 10 feet tall.

[@zilam98]

[@dahrunriver2924]

I totally agree about the tops. They are always too short and I am only 5’3. I love long fitted tops and flowing pants or shorts that look like a skirt.

[@ElanaKinda]

Glad you agree! I need mine longer because of my lifestyle.. Mom of a very active boy so I don't want anything exposed on accident lol!

[@yazosoyo]

Your hair is BEAUTIFUL! I agree with all your recommendations! I do wear wide leg pants to length my legs. I am big chested, it’s hard being a petite!

[@Bahbahlatje]

Good tips. I will try ankle-length pants. I am a petite with an hourglass figure. I don't wear bulky clothes or chunky sweaters because they overwhelm my figure and make me look frumpy, like I'm wearing someone else's clothes. I don't wear long skirts, either. I prefer skirts at the bottom of the knee or shorter. I prefer my clothes to be structured because I have an hour glass figure and that style suits me well. Once I figured out how to dress my figure, I look good in my clothes and I look pulled together. It took me a while to figure that out though. I couldn't figure out why an item of clothing looked so good on a friend, but looked so frumpy on me. Now, I stick to what works for me.

[@ElanaKinda]

Totally agree! It took me awhile to figure out how to properly dress my frame too. Because whats pictured on the model isn't how its going to look like on other women & I had a hard to accepting that lol. But we should embrace that we all have beautiful and different shapes! :)

[@paulineperry155]

I am 50 something and I do “look” in the Junior department for sweaters. They are a little smaller and sometimes I score and find something plain that is also age appropriate! Also plus junior jeans are another place to look. They seem to be proportioned for a petite. However no faded or ripped jeans!

Totally agree about petite tops not working!

[@suzannelawson9215]

I am a senior citizen and about 5' 1 ". I do NOT wear mini skirts or dresses at my age. I can understand what you said about maxi and midi length skirts aren't flattering for the petite frame. What do you think about long skirts that come just above the ankle? Not pleated or full styles but just a long skirt that does not have too much volume/fullness. I don't work anymore so don't have to worry about dressing up but a long skirt (lightweight material) I think might feel cooler then pants to wear in hot weather. I don't wear shorts anymore either.

[@katiedeluise2345]

Hello , I think you can get away with an ankle skirt that is fitted, and falls around your hips , and a nice fitted top to balance it out , and a bit of a heal helps , and a split works as well , showing a bit of leg is good to . I know I have the same problem. Good luck .

[@eileensilverstein5819]

For me, petite tops are perfect. My figure is the opposite (curvier on the bottom than the top) so I still have enough length to tuck them in. Peplum tops only work if I buy them in petite sizes; they hit at the right spot! But a definite NO to bootcut jeans; the legs have too much fabric. I mainly wear skinny jeans and occasionally straight legs if I want to wear them over boots.

[@ElanaKinda]

Yes!! I agree with bootcut jeans! Too much fabric and my legs are slim so its totally overwhelming, but I do love straight leg!

You may have mentioned it, but I forget what your height is? Also, what do you think of jeans that are cut to fall just below the knees? Not capri's but just wear it covers the knee. I am 5' 1" and have thickish thighs and chubby knees. However, my legs below the knees are not thick or chubby at all. So, just wondering what you think of the shorts that stop just below the knees? If I do wear them they are jean/ denim material in blue or black. Also, unlike you I am small on the top part of my body and narrow shoulders but not small waist. (From ABOVE the waist to shoulders I am very small). I hate the cropped look in tops and too old to wear them anyway. Long sleeve blouses ALWAYS too long on me.

Great tips. How tall are you? I am 5' 4.5" and people tell me that I am not petite. There are a lot of shorter women than me but also a lot who are taller than me. I do wear midi skirts and dresses and also Capri pants. I thought they looked ok. I think you can probably still wear peplums. A tailor can adjust the peplum at the seam to where you need it. Great tips and great video.

[@ElanaKinda]

I’m 5 ft 0” ! And as far as I know “petite” is 5 ft 4 and below! And if you enjoy wearing those clothing pieces and like how they look that’s awesome! 😊 and I could take it to the tailor to get it adjusted but it’s also my chest size too, it’s very large so the waist sits right under my chest which looks sooo off, so I think I would have to order a larger size and have the tailor do adjustments. My personal frame has always been SO hard to dress and find the right clothing to flatter it. Very Short, narrow frame, very large chest but really small everywhere else 🙃

I didn’t know that about graphic tees! And I completely agree with everyone dressing in what they feel most comfortable in! These are my personal opinions and rules I like to stick too to make me feel most comfortable with my clothing and what I wear :))

[@ElanaKinda]

Although some are suggesting I should give midi skirts and dresses another try but in petite version so I wanna step out of my comfort level and try it out!!

[@That_misfit]

I love your hairss, so healthy ,so shinny ... Anything special you use to keep them so good looking?

[@ElanaKinda]

thank you so much :) honestly, I feel like genetics has a a lot to do with it and what I eat as well. But I use this conditioner rstyle.me/+x-w5kLluVvbs1YCy08qBlg and I like to use this oil rstyle.me/+QtNbD3LTcD6E6QQleOSVKQ the oil is pricy so heres something more budget friendly and honestly, I kinda like these better- rstyle.me/+RIDRgt-xW-Zm28mg67nZjg hope that helps :)

We not all models. There is beautiful is all sizes and ages. Why would I want to look taller if that’s not what I am. When I take off the clothes and heals, I’m petite again.

[@juliacarter2792]

My top is heavier than my bottom part too, what is considered petite? I am 5'4 an half and I don't know if that is considered petite or not?

[@ElanaKinda]

Petite is 5 ft 4 & under! :)

@@ElanaKinda thank you so much for your answer, have a wonderful night

Being petite myself, I agree with your assessments. However, in addition to being small and well endowed at the top, I also have a huge abdomen. I have to wear bagging shirt to hide my stomach. It’s very unflattering and embarrassing. People sometimes ask if I’m pregnant. What is your recommendation for a girl like me with this specific trouble ?

[@ElanaKinda]

Hey Girl! I totally feel ya. We all have our problem areas.. mine is at the top too but its my chest and its so large and definitely looks off. So I totally understand wanting to wear baggy clothes because I used to dress like that to hide my problem area. What I've found looks better is going for a fitted top, not tight and not baggy, some where in the middle, if you do want to wear baggy tops choose tops that have some draping or ruching. You can also try finding tops with vertical stripes! Not only it'll give a slimming effect but it will make you look taller too. You can also try highlighting another part of your body, Wear longer outwear pieces like a cardigan or jacket, and wearing solid colors too! In the end girl, we're all beautiful in our own unique way so own what you got! :) I hope these tips helps :)
