I loved it when you said, "Your long sweater is aging you 10 years but the tall boots take off 10 years, so you might be okay". Golden!

This is the most useful channel I subscribe to, hands down, and I'm not even petite. You get straight to the point, have incredibly insightful advice, and present it beautifully. Thank you so much for all your tips! (Currently pregnant with a big belly but storing all these tips in my head for future reference.)

The rule of thirds has totally changed the way I dress. I’m so grateful to you for that. Love your channel.

You are like a wizard with clothing! I always watch your videos for wearing the right clothing, your styling, and the fact you get right to the examples instead of talking people to death! Very well done! I'm short too so perfect videos for me!!! Now only if the stores would carry more petite clothes!

I love to see older women embracing shorter shirts, especially if they are petite. I think it’s easy to roll your eyes at young people and think the trend is just to show skin when, in reality, it is about achieving the golden ratio and elongating the legs in addition to the shorter tops creating less bulk with high waisted jeans. For young girls who arent Instagram models, you don’t even see any skin when we wear cropped tops- it’s simply a good way to create our desired silhouette

When I want to wear a crop top that shows some skin when I move, I wear a matching body underneath. It can match either the top, the skirt, or both. I also wear my cropped cardigans over dresses, this makes the legs, or bottom half of my body, look longer. At 61, I still wear short skirts, but I try to keep them within 3 inches of the top of my kneecap, and mostly wear matching tights and boots. (I also wear a lot of midis). My legs look just as good now as when I was 21, so why not? I was lucky and inherited vein-free, slender legs, I can’t take the credit for it, but they don’t deserve to be hidden just because of a date. I remember an older relative criticizing a woman for wearing an anove-kned skirt and a ponytail, “she must be 30!” yes, truly shocking! I think this was a hint for me, which I completely ignored.

You are the goddess of dressing beautifully! No one has your thought process and details! I thank you! Life changing.

Thank you, thank you Chi!, Finally, I know why sometimes I feel awkward when I checked myself in the mirror. I knew that something wasn't working but I couldn't find the solution until now that I subscribed to your channel. You are the face of all the petite women, thanks for giving us the solution.

I love that tunic sweater belt trick to make it short! This can be done with a top too! Glad it didn’t donate my skinny belts.

so useful, thank you!

I love your videos! I always get so much useful information. I have watched you for a long time but I don’t write comments…. shyness. You have changed my approach to outfits with the rule of thirds. I never understood why my outfit was not working until that video a long time ago. You have elevated my look and my day with your style and sense of humor. Much love and appreciation for all you do! Thanks

I’m 61 and one of my absolute NOs is a tunic top (the other is capri pants). They are so aging and make the legs look stumpy. Worn over leggings, as is common, they give a really unattractive ice-cream cone silhouette. I always tuck in my tops or wear shorter ones, above the hip bone or, ideally, waist-length. Because I’m not tall, some crop tops work for me, without showing any skin, especially if I size up one size. I think the most important thing for petites and most other women is to show the full leg length, floor to waist. Also, the tunic and legging look was only in style briefly in the 90s, it’s time to move on. I stopped shopping at those “mature” brands, they’re not designed to flatter mature women, they just make women look more mature than they really are.

I usually come to the same conclusion as you are portraying here when I look at various combos in the mirror, but I must say, you really hit home, and I find I still can learn a few things from you despite my inner fashion voice.

Fabulous advice as always! I don't usually wear above the knee skirts, but I converted a blanket wrap into a skirt, and it looked fabulous with my longer cable knit sweater and tall boots!

Omg, I'm so excited to try a skinny belt! I'm 5'1", so even a cropped sweater is past my waist. Thx so much!

Excellent advice! I've had trouble pairing oversized sweaters with my pants.

Thanks! I m 5'4 and tips with tops and skirt are great. 🥰

Thank you Chi for your effort, another new wonderful tips 🙂

Your channel is excellent ,really,I like your straight to the point attitude,and I love your humor so much , never saw a channel about styling with so good advices and at the same time being funny to watch! Great!

I do the belt trick to shorten my sweaters all the time now!!! I love this trick!!!

Thank you for this video!! I was looking for a video to give me answers on how to shorten a sweater.. Opened this vid and you did just that and then more ! 👏🏾 you’re videos help me understand my body and feel more confident in my outfits

Your video as are some of my favorites. Everything you review makes perfect sense. I want to try some of these combos in my closet( without shopping). Thank you!

Chi, you are my style Guru. I wish I could afford to have a stylist (you) to buy my clothes for me. Lol Shopping is not fun for me. It is very stressful and confusing.

Hi Chi. Thank uou !!

Thank you Chi, you are the BEST!

Agreed!! You've got better advice than some French women on KZfaq. Love your channel!!

I just came across your fashion videos last night because I was in process of choosing what to wear to a visitation and funeral this weekend, and later on a baby shower, so "a few" things, a tad busy🤔😬.. Wanted to be appropriate and Not draw attention , But still look fresh fashionable Up-to-date And most of all classy, But also wanted to be comfortable. The 3 of your videos I've watched so far have been very helpful you've made some good points I had not heard from Other fashion videos and I really like alot of the outfits you put together... Thanks so much..

I know that short skirts look real good on women eapecially jean skirts i really enjoy watching your videos Chi because as a man i love to see what your wearing so i can tell you just what i think

Great video. At 57, I’m ok with longer crop top and high waisted pants/skirts, but what about a camisole under a cropped sweater for those that feel too exposed?

Hi beautiful Chi! Thank you, you are the best. 😊

I'm a hoarder of cardigans, and I regularly wear them to complete an outfit 😅 Tbf sometimes my outfit could be described as 'well, she definitely comfy' 😅🤣

Thank you for all you do for us

I am confused by your comments that tunics are aging. I’m 67 and they are the only thing I feel comfortable wearing with leggings/tights. I’m not talking about tunics that are baggy and knee length, just ones that cover the crotch. So I throw out my leggings because tunics are aging? Please explain.

Omg! You trying to cover your belly in the crop top! So hilarious, that would definitely be me. Good video and I enjoyed your humour.

Chai i really enjoy your videos educational and funny😂 can you please find make up for the leg that doesn't transfer on clothes to cover varicose veins please please thank you keep up the great work big fun🙏🏽

I love that you don’t prescribe these things and instead just show the effects and provide actually helpful suggestions instead of providing ways we “have to” do things, also one thing I’ve noticed is even if the jeans/pants aren’t “skinny” if they are dark and just a bit fitted it has a very similar look That being said I wear my long sweaters with long wide pants all the time, but all my long sweaters are open front and all my pants are high-waist so it still looks balanced.

Thank you for sharing this with us 👍

I'm glad i found you! Clever and insightful advice

I just bought some Ann Taylor high waisted skinny jeans and they look great and stay up and I don’t tug at the all day! I am 5’2” size 6.

youre saving lives fr omg u explain everything so well and provide so many diff options for styling, love ur stuff & thank you sm

GREAT video!!!❤

Miss li a learned a lot from .you ....from now on ..i change my style 😘😘😘thank you mouch

Eye opening video! Well done! When you're petite, where do you find good quality cropped sweaters? So far I have only seen them in cheap stores for teenagers...

Great explanations

Can you do something for us with big bums and hips? I feel tucking in accentuates that area and I’m so self conscious about it. I need to find the perfect pants but I can’t find them! Help! Love your videos! You always make me laugh!

CHI, another excellent video! I love the trick with a belt to shorten a longer tunic sweater. Will the stiff type of belt work better than the elastic one? The elastic one always make me feel hard to breath after a while.

I'm an older gal and I have a couple tunic sweatshirts & sweaters which I love and wear often, so they stay! It's great to have these tips - proportion, boots, belt etc. I wear leggings with my tunics and because my legs are slender, the leggings look like pants. I have tall boots but for the life of me I can't find a belt that fits my larger stomach (apple). Very helpful video! The search for a belt continues!

Thanks for sharing the wonderful tips . I believe and follow the guidelines . Top dressing tips for a petite person like me. Love watching your videos.❤️👏👏😘😘

Your channel is so effective! Love it!

I really.love the long sweater look. I think it looks professional

Great video, thanks!😁❤️👍

Love your latest videos, so much fun and pictures, thanks so much for this

Hi wow who knew thank you for the great enlighten suggestions 💕🌻

You are so likable and helpful, thank you…🥰🙏🏼🇨🇦

Talbots now carry petite sizes and plus petite sizes. But true their tops are long so I fold them and tuck them under my bra.

Heheh. Your videos always make me laugh, you're so cute. Good tips, too.

Wow thks for wonderful tips🙏

I agree!

I find the short top rule hard to follow since I am busty and short-waisted. It is really hard for me to get away from the long cardigans. I just feel a need to wear them if not wearing a blazer. With jeans I tend to just wear long sleeve t-shirts that are more loose but well fitted, although I do not think this makes me any taller than my 5'2 inches. I do usually purchase petite tops though. I have looked for more tops that are not cotton t-shirt or stretchy for this spring but have not seen any shorter ones that I like yet. Could you do a video for busty short girls? Also, I am 63 years old and do not want to look frumpy, or like an old granny, another reason I do not purchase a lot of things I see.

Styles this season are terrible for us petites, all those oversized, super-long and wide, chunky sweaters and jackets. I’m hoping for a return to body-skimming tailoring soon.

Thank you! 😊

I have a short torso and average legs, I am 5' 5.5". I am slim with a thicker middle and all of the shirts and tanks out there always come down to my crotch and make my legs look short and stubby. I recently started getting cropped tops but a lot of the crop tops are too cropped for my taste, so I started buying my shirts and tops in a petite, it solved the problem! The hit me just below my waist.

Very good points. I got rid of all my cardigans. I always feel like a frumpy old lady in them. I am also short :-D 162 cm / 5 Feet 4 Inches

So good 😊

I love your videos!

Great tips, always!!!

Dear Chi, you've made my day, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "You want me to be polite or honest"" Jijijijijijijiji 🤣🤣🤣

Great video. I love slim fit pants, but hate skinny jeans. Wearing them is like wearing a full body bandage.

J'aime beaucoup merci je ne me lâche plus

Please can you tell me where you purchased your white ankle boots? They look great with your skinny jeans. Thanks

Hi Chi, great video as always. I have a request. I'm 5'2" pear shape with some apple tendencies. Now that I'm going through peri-menopause I want to disguise my thighs AND my stomach but I don't want to just wear oversized clothes. Please help! I'm sure I'm not the only one with this "problem."

OMG! 🤯 So this is why something looks good in my mind but in reality is odd 🤣 You has chainged my Life!

I just either shorten my skirts so they are above the knee or maxi. My midi skirts are only worn in the summer with sandals

Great tips, thanks 🙏🏻

I like your gray cropped cardigan with faux pearl buttons. Where did you get it?

i love skirts..an dir..

What about at the knee length skirt for petite women.

Hey Chi I need your help tapering super high waisted look good on petite

I don't have skirts since I whent through the change, I'm 5' 4" with a tummy and I'm 51 years of age, I feel like skirts are for the younger. Plus I have a few veins showing up. They are not to visible but to me they are like traffic lights! So I can wear a short skirt with leggings?

Por favor subtitulos en espsñol.

Now I know how to wear cropped shirts! 😀

I love short skirts! They don't have to be hemmed.

Where did you buy your camel tall boots. Looks really good on you. I'm 5'2 as well. Love your vlog.

Adorable

I work in an office and 90 percent of my skirts are knee length . Plus I am over 60 and petite like you. How should I style the knee length skirt

The only way I will wear a mini skirt is if it’s black & I’m wearing very opaque black tights. Otherwise no way!

The perfect video for these crop length times! *chef's kisses*

When you said "net net" I know you were in finance! LOL

I noticed on your website that none of the items I wanted to purchase are in XL. Unfortunate for us ladies who need XL.

Beautiful😍💞👍👌

Some great tips! Love your channel! Unfortunately, many of us who are short and ‘older’ don’t wear cropped tops of ANY kind because it will show where we have no waist at all, (huge). That is why many older women go to longer sweaters. It’s for that same reason why we don’t like to tuck things in-especially sweaters. May I have your shape, please? 😉😂❤

Can someone please explain the skinny jeans debate to me? I actually didn't understand who generation X and z are

💖

❤❤⚘

If one has tummy then how to wear crop tops

Well you wouldn't approve of my style but I love long sweaters and tunic tops. Maybe it's because I have long legs for my height and a short torso, so it just looks more balanced. Tops that end around the waist make me look like my shoulders are equally wide as the top of my body is long. Ugh, I just say no to short tops!

I wear longer jumpers and have never worn a mini skirt in my life ( I'm 60 / 5 ft tall)....and never worn a dress / skirt in about 25 years. No one ever sees my legs. I wear what's comfortable, what doesn't make me feel self conscious and I don't care. I never even followed fashion trends as a teenager onwards. I have a shorter jumper that I bought because I loved the colour. Have only worn it once and hated the length...never again. I have no idea why this came up as a suggestion, as I have never watched anything of this kind. Weird. 🤷‍♀️

I always wear a belt I don’t feel I am polished without a belt

💙

Takeaway: skinny belt and roll up sweater to cover belt
