1.oversized bags (can make you look overwhelmed) opt for a medium size bag 2. bulky platform shoes (instead of making you taller they make you look shorter because of the uneven proportion) 3. following supermodels (does an outfit look good on them because the outfit is actually nice or because they’re tall and slim?) 4. wearing baggy jeans (be aware: they enhance your bottom and make you look heavier instead opt for flare-bottom oder boot-cut jeans) 5. you can wear long skirts (they elongate your body) 6. you can wear maxi dresses (they elongate your body) 7. don’t wear ankle straps (horizontol lines cut off your leg, opt for pumps, if you want to wear ankle straps take nude ones that blend in with your skin tone) 8. wide leg pants (make sure your top is fitted) 9. don’t shop in the junior department unless you’re looking for sweatpants 10. don’t layer oversized clothes (instead wear monochrome color troughout)

For all of you who are bickering about the “ overwhelming music”: The reason this videos are so GREAT is not only the fact that they are really informative, super accurate and realistic in their content but also because they are funny. She makes fun of the new trends that some of us are following but they absolutely killing us short girls. This humor is excellent and the MUSIC SUPPORTS the sarcasm. As a musician 5:1’ myself, I have to congratulate her on the choice of music which precisely goes along with the tone of the videos and a message she is trying to send! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’m 5’1 and I just look soooo young I’m 25 but I look 14. I feel like most things I wear make me look like a kid. I look like a kid who raided my moms closet half the time and the other half I just look like a bland teenager. I can barely find clothes that fit properly let alone flatter me even in the petite section. I don’t even have access to a petite section currently. Don’t even get me started on shoes, I’m a size 5 so most stores don’t even carry my size. Ive never been able to find a pair of heels that properly fit, so that’s out the window for me. I’ve pretty much given up on actually looking good in clothes.

Maxi skirts and slim fitting maxi dresses are my go to items for casual wear when I don't want to wear pants....same for formal wear...they look great on petites esp in solid colors but I wear prints for casual too, they just need to have a slim fitting top for me and v neck to elongate torso. RE shoes slingback heels with adjustable back strap can really help re fit...I can't wear pumps because of a very narrow heel...works for me.

Hi Chi, I’m petite and I find I like and look better in the “no” category. I receive more compliments when I dress the way you say us petite folks should not dress, and I also feel like more of my personality shines through. My mother has described me as a long bodied short person, and I wonder if I’m just an anomaly. I have long legs, long arms, and a long torso, I’m just a smaller framed person, it’s almost miniature. I like wide leg pants, but I consider them more me playing with fashion rather than emphasizing my better physical qualities. I have bought jean colored shoes to wear with skinny blue jeans, and I have bought tiny black boots to go with skinny black jeans. If I wear big, chunky shoes, then I wear wide pants. I try to create longer lines in a different way. I wear loads of bracelets because I love bracelets, and I think it’s the loving yourself that just looks the best. It’s not that I don’t like your suggestions, it’s almost like I find them too flattering and suggestive, and also like I’m hiding myself. Petite shirts are always a little odd on me, and petite pants as well, just a little too short no matter the size, or too wide. Maybe I should start my own blog and try to find the one other person in the world with my body type. I look amazing in cuffed jeans and skinny jeans with tank tops in all one color.

If you come across any good tips , I’d love to hear them. I recently learned that stripes horizontally are actually flattering for a large bust, avoid bulky sweaters, large pattern prints, do wear those shirts/dresses that tie in the front (but I don’t think I’ve found even one that worked). Again, thank you for these videos, I’m always trying to dress better, it’s a bit of a challenge in our chillier climate.

Hi Chi, after watching your videos I realize a lot of my clothes just aren't flattering for my petite frame. They are cute clothes but don't flatter the proportions of my body. How do I overhaul my closet to create more flattering petite looks without breaking the bank to quick. lol. Also, when I wear flare or boot cut pants should the top always be form fitting? If I wear skinny jeans or pants may I then wear a loose fitting top? Thank you so much for helping me. -Daniela
@PetiteDressing4 жыл бұрын
Hi Daniela- you can start with matching long with short, with your existing pieces. Changing the proportion will give your outfit a new look- if you have long tops, try it with short skirts or shorts (they are also great for your Apple shape) and tall boots, or existing jeans or pants but pair with a new cropped length jacket or
@PetiteDressing4 жыл бұрын
Yes, both are right- you want the well fitted top (don’t have to be tight) to balance out the volume in the jeans. If top is too loose, try top it with jacket to add structure.

In general wide belts are more suitable for taller or girls on the heavy side..., But, If you love it, I’d say go for it. You can try belts with same color as your outfit but with a noticeable buckle, which will still highlight your tiny waist but won’t make your torso look cut-off!
