How to Look Taller & Slimmer - Petite Tips for Wearing Winter Clothes | Dearly Bethany

[@kyliekoss8136]

I love sweaters but it’s a struggle not to look fat

[@poojajena8945]

Not So Pretty Queen hunny u skinny asf tho what u sayin

[@vornamenachname8381]

You don't look fat in a sweater, because nobody can see you physique.

[@momo_rvk]

Speaking of cold weather! This might be an unpopular opinion but it works for me: once it’s starts getting cold I say goodbye to jeans. Denim is an extremely cold textile that takes forever to dry (hence not the the best when it’s snowing or when it rains horizontally like it does in really windy places). Midi wool dresses and high waisted trousers work best in my opinion. Also investing in one good coat that fits your frame and covers your bum is a must. Xx

[@annaabc4512]

momo_rvk thank you for your tip:)

[@myaarimbawabarthe6886]

completely agreee

I want to say also that you are sweet,and calm.Greetings from the Netherlands

[@jjmilo9489]

Couldn’t agree more!!!!

[@RaleighBecketGipsyPilot]

the only thing is, this will only work if you're already slim. My friend has a bit of a belly and tucking in shirts or wearing crop tops she hates because she says she's self-conscious about her stomach

[@madapigi1]

yeah and highrise pants make your stomach look even bigger...

[@lordorielrising4673]

Yep! It's all about balance. With my hourglass figure when looking head on & belly that really shows up in profile, I can't do high rise & settle for mid rise. Notice how no one addresses profile belly problems.

[@paulinah.2286]

of course videos of this tipe,in like with "How to get glowing skin" or "How to look pretty/good/sexy" they are basically useless if you aren't already slim, pretty or attractive

[@marikiemarie7622]

@@lordorielrising4673 everyone does! Its called tummy shaper.

[@belindalevine450]

When you did the split screen with the bulky cream sweater I laughed so hard because that’s exactly what I look like in January-March 😭 I live in New Jersey and I’ll admit that sometimes fashion goes right out the door for me when it gets frigid. I liked the suggestion of layering thinner materials. I’ll give it a try when I need to look presentable lol btw I love all your videos. I’m also 5’1 and tucking in my shirt has been a game changer

[@bethanyleonardo]

hehe I love this Belinda! So happy you are here

[@angelmuscledoc]

I Belinda, I live in NJ also.

[@manateepottery]

I laughed too, I’ve definitely been the one on the left! The side by side was great. It makes such a difference when you layer the right materials, like thin cashmere vs bulky cotton knit. Although if its really cold you better believe I’m considering walking around in a sleeping bag and I don’t care who’s judging me. Luckily it doesn’t get that cold where I live and I don’t have to resort to that😂

[@bethanyleonardo]

​@@manateepottery haha i totally get it! I married someone from Wisconsin, and the minute I breathed in that dry winter air I choked a little...I think the snow up there is SO pretty though!

[@manateepottery]

@Dearly Bethany I married someone from Wisconsin too! It’s lovely there, but before we got married I told him I couldn’t live there. I could literally die, I’d be the person you read about in the news that froze to death in their car because they didn’t know how to handle the weather. I’m from CA and we met in FL so he knew what he was getting 😂

She's not very tall actually

[@rihambelfaquir8889]

She’s 5’1....

[@ayababy5010]

She"s 158

[@annatsartsidou6683]

The fact that you think she is tall means she is doing a great job with the tips she is giving she is literally 5'1

[@kat284]

I don’t know why I’m watching this, I’m nearly 6ft without heels and about 6’4 in them lol but there’s something soothing about your videos! Well done!

[@esmee6308]

@@pandore9709 Around 172cm, I'm around the same height but I feel the tips are great for my height still. Only difference is that I should probably stay away from high-rise trousers and go for mid-raise, which was mentioned in the video.

[@trology0493]

I would love to know what clothing that you really need. maybe you can make video which you talk about what clothing you really need in your wardrobe. If you just can pick up one to three shoes, bags, or pants what would it be?

[@zanobiafashion8086]

very good question

[@yomnahossam6773]

She actually looks gorgeous in anything 💖

[@abbyx3072]

i’m literally a small round potato pls

[@MoniqueCarmack]

I love this. I am short: 4’11. I have a very small torso which is dominated by my boobs: 36 D. So it is so hard not to look like a ball during the winter but I started wearing high waisted pants and trench boats instead of bulky ones. When I do wear thicker coats I get the ones that tie at the waist so it gives me shape >< I will take your ideas into consideration ~~

[@elisa4620]

Same here. Being petite and curvy is hard... And it's worst in cold weather. But I have been slowly understanding what works and what doesn't on me. Still learning. :)

[@Jyoti-sl6kv]

My height is same .. which size jeans you wear?

[@TheZeyre]

Love the ballet dancer vibe with the thin layers. Nice to have options to take on and off during the day ! Thank you!

[@firyalrafa]

Thank you Bethany, as a petite muslim myself your video helps a lot❤

[@MalinaCC]

I'm 5'6, not petite but not exactly tall either...but your tips completely changed how I dress and approach shopping!! In the past I never cared for fashion and I realized it was because I was always buying clothing that was not the right size/length. Since using your tips I love shopping and finally feel lovely in clothes ❤

[@bethanyleonardo]

I love this, Malina! Thanks for making my night

[@hannahelireb]

Finally discovering this through trial and error (like how when cropped shirts became popular I found they actually did something for me, but these are gem tips for the short legged woman! Thanks!

[@manateepottery]

I have long legs but mostly wear high rise pants because I’m also pear shaped and mid rise hits me where I’m wide. It’s nice to be nipped in at the waist even if you’re all leg. Likewise I love that ES does such inclusive sizing, I get the tall :)

[@saydr1524]

If only i have curves but im literally a stick huhu

[@nessah3977]

I'm 5'8, but have short legs and a long torso, so those tips are actually helpful :)

[@elfinsox]

love this video, i'm only 5'1" so I took some helpful tips! Other places that make petite sizing: Reformation, Eileen Fisher, Everlane has ankle length jeans, Madewell has short inseam sizes now, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Loft.

[@ecclesiaxxi6210]

I'm 5'0, I'll check out the clothing lines you've suggested :) This video was & is very helpful. I find being petite, with an hourglass figure is one area in fashion that truly is ignored/neglected, especially in Europe -_-

[@dianairacheta6429]

“And don’t forget the long underwear again, please” 🙈🙈🙊🙊🙊🙊☺️☺️

[@NandaDinata]

tbh for winter with extreme weather in some areas of the world, this won’t do sadly

[@phemyda94]

You're my favorite fashion vlogger and I absolutely love your style... but there are so many tips on your channel that unfortunately just don't suit me! I'm very short-waisted so high-waisted pants are super uncomfortable for me and aggravate my reflux, pointed shoes exaggerate my size 11 feet, and I get freezing cold in crop tops... sigh... a reminder that everybody needs to tweak fashion to their body/needs. The ideas that have saved me are long dusters, tucking in my shirt, nude shoes, and adding jewelry. Thank you, you're super classy and helpful.

[@vernicacristiana-maria4171]

Finally I find someone who have the same body shape so is easier for me to choose how to dress up. Thank you!! You are amazing!!!!!

[@mariambazzi2729]

Oh my - I feel like your body type is exactly like mine. I’m also petite but my lower body is curvier than my top (also a pear here!) I feel like happy crying because I always watch these videos when the person is so tall and it feels like nothing works. You are a god send, thank you!!! ❤️

Hi Bethany. Could u recommend us some good tips for real cold winter like -30°C? I am always look funny at winter 😅

[@BlackXPink3]

this video had got me started to look at my style in a completely different light. I remember point from this video even months later like the pointed shoes and not-bulky fabric. Love to improve my wardrobe although it cost a lot more time and money than before. I already invested in a wool camel coat and got it fitted for my lenght.

Loved the idea to wear crop sweaters. My main concern are actually the accessories mostly the bags. As I petite women I've find very difficult to wear accessories without looking more short than ever. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Heirloom_Leaves_and_Seeds]

I love this video. I am 5’ 2” & also live in Tennessee. The cool weather this morning has me thinking about my winter wardrobe. I will start using the tips you suggested. When you used the split screen, the tips really did made a difference. 😊

[@jalapenokettlechips5873]

5:20 I would actually wear the outfit on the left it looks really cute

[@irisl7817]

So many good tips I can follow, only in theory. Cropped anything just doesn't look on me. I can't make myself wear it. Not a trend that meshes with me. Instead, I get longer sweaters and match them with similar colored pants or leggings. I never get funny looks. I just try to hide my bustline whatever I wear.

[@jellybeesplease]

I copied your 'cardigan as a top' technique from another video of yours and I can't believe I didn't think of it before!! (Pictured in my profile picture, as it's now one of my favourite comfy but smart outfits) I'm not as slim as you are, but I am a little on the shorter side. Your tips are really super helpful, thank you for sharing them 💕 You are magical! ✨

[@lissymaier475]

This is so incredibly helpful🙌🏻 Thank you so much! 🙏🏼 I have short legs and am kinda hourglass shape with a small waist.

[@JBO2493]

I don’t see the point of a cropped puffer besides aesthetics. If it’s cold enough to wear one in the first place, the part needing the most insulation is the lower abdomen/lumbar spine. Failure to keep this warm can result in kidney infection. Plus I beg to differ. Petites can totally rock a full length puffer with a bit of swag.

[@bethanyleonardo]

You do you, JBO2493.

[@nancysuarez9556]

JBO2493 I ride a motorcycle every day. Cropped puffers are essential for me b/c my movements are impeded if I am sitting on a long puffer. While I like the aesthetics of cropped puffers, it’s not all about that. It’s also about safety and lifestyle.

[@JBO2493]

Nancy Suarez a hip length puffer is fine. I use those too. Those that crop at your waist however are useless and merely a fashion item.

[@barbiec4312]

Is that really true that failure to keep your lower abdomen/lumbar spine warm can result in kidney infection? No, not true. You do not get kidney infections in that manner at all.

[@JBO2493]

Barbie c you’re right. What causes a kidney infection is in fact bacteria. But letting kidneys get cold is never a good idea. They don’t like being cold.

[@ssg8051]

Hi Bethany, and thank you for the insightful video. As I also am not statuesque, I leverage my small waist. I love wearing waist-fitted tops and short jackets. I personally always wear some type of heeled shoe; this time of year that would be platform booties. For coats I prefer them to be long, slim versions, either in solid or small plaid. For tops I generally wear solid and neutral tones, but do like small prints in floral patterns, thin stripes, small plaids, or the rare leopard print. I do wear jeans often---skinny, boyfriend, and flared seem to work best on me. Lastly, I never carry large bags as they simply overwhelm my small frame. Thanks again for the fine video. Cheers, Ardith
