I’m 5’2” and I feel your pain to appear taller. This video was very helpful. Most fashion gurus here on RUclips don’t cater to us “shorties”. Thank you! 🙏
Hi! Thank you for saying what your inseam is! I'm also 5'2" and I have a 26" inseam and I always felt like that was abnormal. Now I know that someone else has short legs like me and I'm not so alone! Also, you dress in a way that always makes your legs look much longer so I will definitely take inspiration from you! Great video!!
Your videos quality has become so much better . The hard work you put in every video , showing each and every detail and example is so much appreciated . Thankyou ❤️ from a 4ft 9’ petite :)
You can always take your jeans to a taylor or the dry cleaners to have the hem altered to fit your preferred length. I've been having mine altered since I was 13 yrs old. It only costs a few bucks. I pay between $4 and $10 depending on the type of stitch needed. Machine or blind stitch will be different in price normally.
I'm 5'1" flair and bootcut have been my go to forever. I've tried skinny Jean's on but my ankles are so narrow it always looks like I'm walking on toothpicks
My ankles aren’t especially fat but they have always been on the thicker side so anything I can do to make them appear narrower is a good thing for me! I really like the 7/8 length skinny jeans. Funny we’re all so different.
I am 5' and I wear anyhow. I usually don't care if people dislike my style. I can see people looking at me with their eyes sideways 😁( so not fashionable). All your ideas are good. On rare occasions(like once or twice a year)when I want to look good I do put some thoughts before wearing anyhow😁.
Yes! I certainly do know that feeling because it is tough when things can get so high you have to reach because i am a short man just like your a short woman
I cannot wear crop flares either! Just awful. I love your lip color. Do you mind if I ask what color/brand? I have similar skin coloring and it looks flattering on you. Thanks!
I take all my jeans to the tailor and say 29 inches. When I want them above my ankle it’s 27 inches. I always use a Tailor when I buy pants. I buy petite but not all of them are the right links.
Hi Chi!🤩 I'm Asian, 5'2",top heavy and one who loves straight jeans and anything jeans! 😘you're amazing your thorough explanation is of immense help for me who have to 🤔 twice everytime before dressing up😥 you Rock 🧡👍
Your detailed information is so helpful for reference. I'm 5.4'' but yet my inseam is only 0.5'' longer so i've been able to measure as opposed to just giving us your height.
@@evepalisada2640 inseam is the length of your leg from crotch to your ankle. It's the measurement used to see if a pair of pants or jeans are going to be the right length on you. Once you have that number, you can easily know right off if the pants or jeans are going to be too long or too short for you to wear. There's an area of about an inch or two of room on either side of your inseam measurement you can use to play with, depending on the shoes you will be wearing most of the time with the pants, or if you are going for the cropped look. Hope this is useful, and have fun shopping 😉
Your body type, shape and size is almost exactly like mine. Our shoe sizes are similar. Can I have your hand me downs? Haha I love your style and you give the best advice for my size and shape.
At 5'4" I always check on inseam lengths too. This video helped me see where the length should end with all type shoes flat, heeled. This part was confusing until now. Thanks for the comparing visuals. Also, I never really paid attention to my tops since I fit regular sizes. But now I also see where the length should end so not to look frumpy or top heavy/bulky. When I look at old photos I can see the need to focus attention on top lengths too. When I'd see myself in the mirror then, I'd see unbalanced proportions and thought my mirror was playing tricks on me! Thank you! Keep up the good work! You know your stuff. I've watched all your videos, multiple times.
Hahaha we got in common shorties in the kitchen.I wear those boot cut jeans + high heels when going out with friends.I hope the restrictions stop out there.What you mean with yolk ? I like all videos and live in Scandinavia my friend !
As a pear shaped woman it has been said boyfriend and skinny jeans are not recommended for me. However, the shorter length of them appeals to me as a busy Mom. My weekday uniform shoe would be sneakers. If I want to do an ankle length with sneakers given my body shape which style should I shorten to ankle length: bootcut, flare, straight, or wide leg?
in the early 2000s 5 ft 2 in Shakira had even long legged girls like me wanting the Way Too Long flare jeans. great tips as always I look much more polished regardless of inseam
I agree, cropped flares are the worst for us shorties! I can’t wear heels over 2&3/4”, and my inseam is about 26.5”, so 28-29” is about as long as I can handle. Annoyingly, most “short” jeans are between 30-33”. I hate it when I have to shorten pants, I tend to just make raw hems with scissors on any jeans or other casual pairs. I have two new pairs of “dress trousers”, I will have to hem them 1” shorter, what a hassle. But, if they drag on the floor, the hems get trashed in just a few wearings.
Hi, Dear Chi, I was waiting for your video like a kid waiting for a candy🙂 Congrats for this excellent video as usual your videos are amazings. You pinpoint great advices. I'm 5.2" as well, and just like you I use the same step to helping me to get high stuffs😉 Many thanks⚘
The struggle is real because I have so many useless pair of jeans I ordered online and they're supposed to be petite but they're too long! I'm tired on hemming ☹️
That opening sequence, my daily struggle. I didn't have a step stool for my upstairs closet so my husband got me one of those grabby things you see at supermarkets lol. Love my flares with heels!!!
I love the wide leg jeans you were wearing around minute 9:15 of the video when you were outside on a patio. I didn't see a reference to what brand they were. Would love to know! Thanks
I think the long flare and boyfriend jeans look the most flattering on you. I don't like boyfriend jeans on me but they make you look cool and youthful.
The forever 21 jeans are a horrible cut, ugly styling and I don’t think they would look good on anyone but all of your tips are great. Thank you from 5’1”
5’4” and 50 yo. Until now I spent my life buying random clothing items I really liked but would then find I had no idea how to put them together so when occasions came to wear them I would get stressed spending hours trying to figure out what went with what, or conclude I had ‘nothing to wear’ despite the stuffed wardrobe & dresser. Having been a stay at home Mom for the last 11 years has also meant I’ve felt out of touch with trends & styles. Aging a decade also means I feel as though I have to make an effort adjust my style to be more ‘age appropriate’ (ie not dress like my teenage daughter). Was feeling a bit overwhelmed with what to do until I came across your videos. So great to find some guidelines that actually work! Been applying them to outfits and I’m already amazed at the difference they make, thank you!
@Stellaria, thank you so much for watching! If you think youe are old and have difficulty with what you wear, I hope you won't have that problem when you finish watching it, I hope it helped you! Thank you! 💖
@@PetiteDressing Yes definitely helping! 🙂 I think the problem has been figuring out how to transition from my 30s/40s to my 50s - when I hadn’t really been updating my wardrobe a lot over that time. I used to think I’d be in my 30s forever but the decades go by fast. ❤️
In my kitchen I open the bottom cupboard and put one foot in to reach the higher shelves! 😁 Thank you so much for specifying the measurements, i tend to leave my jeans a little too long because I’m never exactly sure what fits best. My favorite jeans cut is the bootcut worn with heels
How about Asin woman in late forty and under five feet tall darker skin then you what kind of top is good to wear ? I Like the lchocolate color blouse look good on you
I’m 5 ft 3 and have to wear regular length jeans and get them tailored because I’m super curvy. I might’ve been able to wear petite in the third grade. Lol! My hips take up more space than a petite size allows, so I always stick with regular to give me extra room in the crotch area. When I put on short jeans the crotch looks to low and has an ill fit. All the other stuff applies to me like the boots that are best for petites etc.. The only thing that doesn’t apply are the jeans sizes.
If a top is longer than high-hip length, I tuck it in. I’m middle-aged and thick around the middle, but I think most of my contemporaries are aging, shortening and widening themselves with those horrible tunic tops. Those, along with capri pants, which give fat, stumpy legs, are the least stylish, most frumpy clothes out there. Bermuda shorts are so much better, they hit the narrowest part of the legs, and lengthen them. It doesn’t matter how fat the tummy or butt, tuck those tops in!
I not only have short legs but short arms as well,🤣 but hate heels & wedges. I only like flats or very low heel (not comfortable and not practical at all! ) Oh yes! Great video by the way!. Thanks for the very detailed info and visual. Us petite women appreciate all your amazing content. Thank you so much🙃 Also,I love your home decor,style,color,all of it!❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate your videos so very much! Do you think the NYDJ Easy Fit Skinny Petite Jeans might be okay for a 5' person? Also wanted to say I appreciate how you link to the items, or give a similar style link!
Personally as a petite girl, I love the trend for cropped jeans, because they look normal length on me and I don't have to roll them up 🤣
I hear you Anna!
🤣 ankle length? Those are normal length.
Omg yes same here!!!
Agreed

Cheryl- I totally understand. Check out ankle length pants at petite brands and they might work since they are "ankle" for petites.
I need clothes for inverted triangle body shape
Please do a whole big video on that please !
love love love
If I’m 5ft and I want to wear flare leggings but I don’t want to wear heels can I wear sneaker
Please answer this comment. Are you able to buy your styles elsewhere? The L website is rubbish for me.
I'm not petite but I have long torso short legs. Flares makes my short legs look long. I love flare jeans.
Glad to hear!
Hahaha! Love the intro...I have a stool in every room!
Me too!
We are not average!!! 🤦♀️ we’re fabulous.
Your flare lengths are too short, pant leg should rest on your foot, not hovering above it!
Hi! What brand and style were the wide leg jeans? Great vid!
Hi Tina- Thank you! I left the links in the description box.
I just cut some part right above the knee.. What to do am just 5.1
Yes me too always need a stool
I'm also 5 foot 2 and I love my jeans thanks for all you're tips love this video 👍

Can you pls tell about the tops that would go well with wide leg jeans
I LOVE A GOOD FLARE LEG JEAN AND BOYFRIEND JEAN, as a skinny petite girl im over the skin tight skinny jeans!
yes a step stool is what i use when i really can not reach up for things to get
Literally laughed out loud as you jumped to reach the cabinet! My kitchen stepstool is black BTW!

Glad you like it Nancy!
i know how you feel. i'm an 5'1 asian with an hour glass figure and big boobs.very hard to find clothes
I know jumping up to get things out of the cupboards. I buy petites in everything or short legs. Capris look bad on me.
Yes I have an elephants foot stool. It’s brilliant. Makes me independent in the kitchen.
I have those in different rooms (closets and kitchen especially)!
Still great tips, had to review buying new jeans for spring.😊
That’s me on the stool getting stuff out of the cabinet. Lol!
I deal with the same thing…😊 I have the step stool in most of my rooms … I have one in my closet so I can reach my shoes.
Before I clicked on the links I told someone I have a pair of boyfriend jeans from Loft I absolutely love!!
I’m 5 ft 3 and have to wear regular length jeans and get them tailored because I’m super curvy. I might’ve been able to wear petite in the third grade. Lol! My hips take up more space than a petite size allows, so I always stick with regular to give me extra room in the crotch area. When I put on short jeans the crotch looks to low and has an ill fit. All the other stuff applies to me like the boots that are best for petites etc.. The only thing that doesn’t apply are the jeans sizes.
Thanks for sharing, Tamira!
I need heels! I'm 150cm size 0, please sell small size shoes in your store.
If a top is longer than high-hip length, I tuck it in. I’m middle-aged and thick around the middle, but I think most of my contemporaries are aging, shortening and widening themselves with those horrible tunic tops. Those, along with capri pants, which give fat, stumpy legs, are the least stylish, most frumpy clothes out there. Bermuda shorts are so much better, they hit the narrowest part of the legs, and lengthen them. It doesn’t matter how fat the tummy or butt, tuck those tops in!
Good point! Thanks for sharing, Kimberly!
