The three golden rules: long over short and vice versa; divide into thirds, never in half; AND volume on top, narrow below, and vice versus. When I think an outfit looks ‘off’, it’s usually because I’ve forgotten one of these guiding principles. Thank you for reminding us, Chi.

[@mujeresbellassiempre1895]

Genial 💯🇦🇷

[@marquettahoward3315]

So true. Wow! That helps. Here I was thinking I hate everything I own bur I was splitting my outfits in half, not thirds. Thank you thank you

But what when one has a tummy to hide

[@dr.vandanarajesh7693]

Really simplified that!

[@vaderladyl]

Yes these rules have always been crucial for good proportions, yet so few people know they have existed for so long, and still are relevant to this day. I am here taking a refresher on all these rules .

I realized the longer blazers were much more flattering on me since I was so short up top. After watching your video, I realized I have been doing it correctly. Since I am long-legged, I'll also wear long skirts/dresses with my long blazers, but I always emphasize my waist, and it seems to work.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Chi, what makes you such a brilliant stylist is your objective eye and willingness to experiment to improve things. As a professional editor, it amazed me to learn how few people are able to be objective about anything relating to themselves, like their writing or personal style. I was always enthusiastic to make changes to my writing, outfits, etc., suggested by others, if they were real improvements, no one gets everything perfect all the time (except maybe you). Your good, objective eye is rare and special!

Thank you for this as I LOVE blazers. I find if I wear all the same color except for blouse, it works. Like everything black(even shoes) but a short light top. I did this on a recent vaca and it worked! But I have a light pink one and when I wear it with dark outfit, it makes me look way short. I am thinking of trying the short skirt route thank you. I love the blazer and short look for summer. With skin color wedges, I look so much taller! I always roll my blazer sleeves. They are never right lol(too long). ps: I find padded shoulder long blazers help too. Especially with flare pants!!

[@olexandrakharchyshyna2095]

Already got a new long jacket, so now I have to figure out how to wear it )

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

What great tips, Chi. I also look better if a long blazer has a fitted waist, and by wearing heels with them (2-3” is the highest I can stand). I do prefer long sleeves because they keep me warmer, but I have them shortened to the correct length, the wrist-bone. Very long and oversized/baggy is a disastrous silhouette on us petites. I did just buy two double-breasted blazers, even though I’m a rectangle shape, but I think they work ok because the buttons are set in that V-shape that narrows at the waist and widens at the shoulder. They don’t make me look as chunky as those with the classic, full crossover flap and straight rows of buttons. Small shoulder pads can be helpful, too.

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@littlelady7843]

I didn't like blazer for many years as they always swallow me (I am 5'4" and slim). But over the years, I found shorter length, fitted blazer looks very good with high waisted, straight leg dress pants with heels. Heels don't need to be high, 1 to 2" heels can lift the pants hem off the ground will do. Whenever I dress like that to office, I get compliments that I looked very professional, tall and smart! Long blazer is still a no for me as it takes too much effort to look good. But CHI offered some really good options. I like the long blazer with shorts idea, might give it a try.

[@JayneNicoletti]

Try it. Works for me in summer when I need a light jacket.

[@nellyparedes472]

[@happytofu5]

This video comes at the right moment! I was thinking about cropping my long blazer. Would it be possible to wear flats with a long blazer or is the body too short then? Maybe platforms as an alternative?

[@sheelfjohnson]

These are brilliant tips. I have found all of these to be true for me. Oh, one more tip I like: I get my blazers a little on the small side since I look better with them open anyway. Then the arms fit me better too.

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you! ❣️

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Happily, the “new” skirt length coming in is knee-length. I always found most “mini” skirts really flattering, they come to about 3-4 inches above my knees, a good length for me. (At age 63, I don’t dare go as short as in my youth, I don’t want to be criticized for it). Just covering the kneecap is a good length, too, more flattering than mid-calf “midis”, for sure. It shows the narrow place just there, before the calf widens. I’m 5’4”, but was 5’6” in my youth, and very short-waisted.

Great video Chi! I always steered away from blazers because I couldn't make them look good 😂 I do have question, how to wear a blazer with a pear shape? Blazers are always wide and mostly end at hips which is the widest part, making me look wide as a whole

[@PetiteDressing]

Thank you so much! ❣️

[@teamginger6359]

Thank you! ❤

[@alcogito8287]

I learned from you how much better I looked at 5'2", when i wore shorter jackets, rather than the usual blazer length. Thank you. It's all about the proportions. Perhaps a blazer would look better if worn with shorts or a mini-skirt on younger women, but I am not likely to choose that option. I think I could get away with a blazer, if it and the trousers were the same color.

[@PetiteDressing]

You are so welcome! ❣️

Chi, i could not find the beautiful white wide leg pants you are wearing on your website. I'm based in India

[@minivan1680]

I'm 5'1" and curvy, and whenever I want to wear skirts I just end up frustrated. Anything longer than my knees makes me feel like it overwhelms my petite frame, and minis don't look good because they really emphasize my butt and it looks inappropriate. Knee-length would actually be nice but the last time I wore a skirt that length I felt so uncomfortable because you could see a lot of skin. So I just avoid it and wear jeans or pants instead.

[@karenmartin9008]

I wear mini skirts only in winter, so that I can wear them with dark, thick tights - I think if the skirt, tights and shoes are the same colour the outfit would be lengthening, but others with more expertise might like to weigh in on that. Added benefit is they also smooth out my knees, which are not as cute as they were in my youth!

[@deborahm6682]

I usually follow your fashion tips but now I have to disagree with that. Probably it depends on where you lived and how you perceive the "flattering". I live in Japan and most of the Japanese girls are wearing the way you said it's "unflattering" but I perceive it very elegant and put together (not the colours tho, but the proportions are good) and totally unflattering the one with the short dress.
