Great video Chi! I don't follow trends; I've never been a fan of that catwalk runway style. Instead, I focus on creating my trends with timeless, classy outfits that never go out of fashion. I choose styles that suit my body type, and as I get older, I find myself increasingly tired of dressing up and going out. I believe that if you keep chasing trends, you may end up broke, depressed, and facing problems for yourself and those around you. Ultimately, nothing will bring you true happiness.
Thank you so much for the content you put out. I'm 5'1" and I find that you are one of the best Influencers there is when it comes to helping us petite ladies dress for success! You are so stylish and beautiful! Here's to a blessed 2025!
stirrup pants weren't really meant to show off the straps, it was the 80's (not 90's!) and the straps were useful for keeping the leggings tucked in to boots for a more sleek look - we didn't have all that 4 way stretch lycra/spandex blend happening in mass market shops just yet. We had 2 way stretch and the leg openings had to be wide enough to comfortably get your feet through them. And when you sat down there wasn't enough stretch in the fabric to account for the needed length at the knees and hips so they'd ride up and pop out of ankle and midcalf boots. Today we have plenty of 4 way stretch fabrics so the functional straps aren't necessary.
@@michellemcgough7476 Exactly- they were perfect to tuck in boots. I had so many from Express- Cream, cobolt blue, reed and black! Loved them then! My ass looked so good in those! Hahaha
I’m in my 70’s and have always liked a mid rise best. Long gone are the days of showing any midriff 😅 with a straight leg style and a top that hits the right length it’s perfect.
@@duchess_of_petty9323 I did too! I don't even know why. They looked awful and even felt weird. That may have been the beginning of my aversion to following trends 😆
I am 5'2" and own barrel jeans. I have longer legs than my torso, so they are amazing on my silhouette. They fill out my hip profile and balance my narrow shoulders, so I love the silhouette
I've been drooling over a beautiful pair of multi-strap red mary janes, but didn't jump because of the price. I'm so glad you went over that! I really appreciate all of your tips. If I do get any, they will be skin-toned. Thank you so much! ❤
I'd say fashion is getting better in the shoes category. No more combat boots, bulky platform loafers and pure white sneakers is a good start. But yeah, the new bottoms in particular are horrible.
I'm tall, but I avoid trends, just because I'm not going to be influenced by the fashion industry anymore which is just interested in getting our money.
I'm 54 and only 5'2" and I absolutely love barrel jeans, especially the wider barrels. I get compliments every time I wear them. The key is to size up so they sit down on your hips, and wear them longer. When you do that, they don't really have such a barrel shape, they just look like super cute baggy jeans.
Some trends only come to teach us that they DO NOT WORK! Barrel jeans/trousers are good examples. They don't look good on anyone, regardless of tall figure. I'm a slim 5'6", and they don't look good on me 😅 My friend is 5'8" and it looks bad on her 😅
Im Afraid fashion industry do not care what looks good or not, they want to sell. I remember barrel jeans trend back in the 80’s and probably will be back in 15 or 20 years time and they keep selling
I'm actually looking forward to low rise jeans. My Torso is so short that even mid rise sits over my waist. So for me low rise is basically what is mid rise for others
I’m a taller girl, but I love your channel! You have impeccable taste. I’m loving those kitten heels sling backs! 😍 They look so good yet are more practical than higher heels.
Thank you for pointing these things out. I never liked Mary Janes, they always looked too dated, too “cottagecore” for me - while flowy dresses also lool cottagecore but in a good way, I could never imagine wearing Mary Janes in a contemporary, cool way. Maybe the reason is that they don’t make me look good. Same with the barrel jeans - they just look costumy, wild wild west for me, or like they are worn out at the knee. Sure, if you’re a skinny, tall model, everything looks good on you, but for most people the shapeless clothes make them look frumpy and… well, shapeless.
As a plump person, also avoiding. For all the same reasons these proportions are not flattering to someone who is not shaped long and lean. One must be both long AND lean for some of these to have that right feel.
Low-rise looks awful on me! I'm also an hourglass, and they have a way of making me look boxy/rectangular, not just short. I laughed when you sat down in them, SO relatable!!!
I'm 58 and 5'4" on a good day. IYKYK. I don't get why women my age like Mary Jane shoes. I love to see them on younger women but because of the strap, they make older women, especially those of us who work on our feet and/or retain water, look like our feet are encased sausages. On the topic of the leggings with the straps (I call them stirrups), one thing I discovered in the 90s was that as great as they look while work with boots, if you get the wrong size or put them on incorrectly, your feet will hurt and it will not be a good look if you are wobbling around in said pain. I just discovered this channel today and I'm in love.
I don't think black Mary Jane's are bad for a petite, per se. As I have trouble finding pumps that fit me, they give me security and comfort. And as I mostly wear black bottoms (I'm not into beige or grey), or if it's blue jeans I only wear flares, they go along fine with my wardrobe without making me look shorter. Slingbacks on the other hand, are a nightmare, as they always wound my heels.
I have one *amzaccs* accessories I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
Oh my 😱is that what they are Barrel Jeans , I tried a pair on I M&S ( Uk ) , and said to my daughter “ why do these make me look like 🤔…… oh I know Woody.. Out of TOY STORY “. I was wearing the boots just needed the hat. ☹️. Ahhhh nope , nada and never mind. 🤭🤣. But what I do like is the loose legs jeans , my granddaughter said “ nanny I like your skirt “, when I said they were jeans 🤔🤨 her face.
I can't believe Stirrup joggers are making a comeback😮 my 13yr daughter loves wearing tights with white socks, sneakers, and a hoodie. I try telling her this look makes her legs look shorter, but all her friends are wearing this🙈
Back in the '80s, stirrups were on leggings to keep the pant leg from popping out of your boots. Worn with a belted tunic. Who remembers that look? Lol
I like to create an empire waistline with visual tricks like very high waisted trousers and jeans, paired with a short top. I add a necklace to further pull the eye upward. I think longer pants and a pointed toe shoe also lengthens the legs. I'm only 5'3" but I look taller.
Low rise jeans are damaging to your bladder and put pressure on your lower half, particularly when sitting. Over time this pressure leads to a strained pelvic floor, overactive bladder and leaks.
So funny we called those leggings stirrup pants in the 60’s. Except we wore the stirrups inside our shoes or boots. I hate low rise jeans. They only look good on skeletons. And those sausage pants atrocious. ❤
If your pants cover the strap of the Mary Janes, they just look like regular shoes. I do like the extra support of that strap. And if it only shows when I'm sitting, it's not making me look awkward or ungraceful. And the only thing I like about low-rise is that they often hit right at my waist, so it's not really a low-rise. High risers hit right under my breasts! Unless I happen to find petite cut pants, which is rare.
Yes exactly even petite high rise go up over the bottom of my ribcage. And I agree with you on the shoes. Most of my jeans skim the top of my foot. So you don't see the strap, and I like the extra support, I have a weak ankle. I don't think mary janes cut the foot off too much like a strap that goes around above the ankle. All of my sandals have the starp below the ankle. I was trying to figure out why I had a pair of sandals I hated and it was two things the peep toe did nothing for my morton's toe, so I need to show more of my toes or have the peep located so as to not make my big toe look realy short, and it had a stap above my ankle. This resulted in a cute wedge that looked like me, but was really unflattering.
Happy New Year! I don’t mind that these trends aren’t for petite women. In my opinion, these trending items are ugly. And.. Stirrup pants and low-rise jeans from the 90’s?? No, thank you 😂
You can wear these trends but it's all about proportion. That's why there's a petite sizing where the proportion and the chest, waist, knee placement, and inseam is different from that of a regular and plus sizes.
I wore MJs in another trend cycle and looking back on photos I’ve learned not again. Cropped pants and chunky shoes another no-no, if they come around again…
I got rid of the stirrup leggings. I had a pair that I only wore once. Lot of these styles are recycled. I had wedge mary jane shoes back in high school in the 90s. I skip on barrel jeans. I am hourglass shaped, wouldn't work for my body type. No for low rise jeans.
I'm 5'4 and wear leggins a lot. But I do agree that the top needs to finish at the waist. For those of us who work hard to have a pert bottom, it's not an issue. Also helps wear top in the same colour.
I’m not petite, I’m almost 5’6, but I love your videos Chi, they are more helpful than any other fashion advice videos. But I hate kitten heels! I just think they are ugly; does anyone else feel the same?
I wonder what Chi Li's Kibbe body type is? I often struggle to relate to what she says. I like to wear my pants long for more vertical length. But high rise jeans overwhelm me. I just end up this this huge block of fabric in the middle of my body that looks very awkward. If the zipper is short then you can't see it if a shirt covers it, which I think looks weird. Also a short zipper can make it harder to take high rise jeans on and off. High rise jeans cause me to have little torso if I tuck my shits in. I feel like I have longish legs, a short rise and a maybe a slightly shorter torso. I feel like my proportions look very natural, people often think I am a little taller than I am (63.5"). Also for my medium bone structure, very delicate shoes just don't look right on me, I need something with a bit more visual weight. I also kind of like a heeled mary jane, I don't like my ankle being cut off, but below the ankle gives a bit of extra support. So if low rise and midrise jeans come back I am all for it. Petite high rise pants come up over my ribcage, so just no.
I do indeed see what “the problem is” - too many idiots following “trends” in order to present themselves as “on point”. Trends need binning, and so do those who advocate them. Most of these photographs make the people in them look completely and utterly ridiculous.
Hi, I am petite and I have short legs AND a short torso. I have NEVER seen a video that addresses this problem. I would love to see what you might recommend. Ty
Stirrup pants are a “no. On anyone regardless of height. Barrel jeans are unflattering on anyone, but particularly bad on petites. Low-rise jeans are best left in the ‘90s.
I’m 5ft 7 and think I have proportions like a petite woman. I have a long torso and short legs, so this “new” look will look awful on me. I’m sticking to my bootleg jeans and trousers!
It’s always funny to me that people will click on a video about trends and then love to go on and on about how they don’t follow trends 😂 Then this video isn’t for you. And like it or not, trends do influence what we see in the stores so you might end up not finding the stuff you like as easily.
How come these “TRENDS” are in fashion, when no one likes them. I’m old enough to remember stretch trousers with straps under the foot. But these under shoe straps look ridiculous. Where have all the good designers gone?
Great video Chi! I don't follow trends; I've never been a fan of that catwalk runway style. Instead, I focus on creating my trends with timeless, classy outfits that never go out of fashion. I choose styles that suit my body type, and as I get older, I find myself increasingly tired of dressing up and going out. I believe that if you keep chasing trends, you may end up broke, depressed, and facing problems for yourself and those around you. Ultimately, nothing will bring you true happiness.

Try being 4ft 9 . Alot of fashion these days start at 5ft
I've been wearing a kitten heel for 20 years and so happy they are back!

I cannot believe stirrup leggings are coming back. Those are a bad idea for EVERYbody! LOL!
I had a pair in high school. Even though they we're in style then, I always felt weird in them.
They were ugly the first time. But did I wear them? Of course
Never again!!!
I wore them in the 80s when I was a kid. 🤣
@@duchess_of_petty9323 I did too! I don't even know why. They looked awful and even felt weird. That may have been the beginning of my aversion to following trends 😆
The 80’s called. They want their stirrup pants back! 😂😂
Barrel jeans always scream rodeo clown to me, no matter how tall or short you are. Just not a classy look, no matter how it's styled either
🤣🤣😂
barrel + jeans = never wearing
I am 5'2" and own barrel jeans. I have longer legs than my torso, so they are amazing on my silhouette. They fill out my hip profile and balance my narrow shoulders, so I love the silhouette
Amen! That’s it! 🤣perfect description. I think they are atrocious looking on even the thinnest person. Makes legs look like sausages.
I tell you. I don't know who came up with that ridiculous idea

Call me unfashionable, I don't care if these ridiculous looks are in. Lord help us. I love your videos to help navigate through the lunacy.❤
Unfashionable!
I'd say fashion is getting better in the shoes category. No more combat boots, bulky platform loafers and pure white sneakers is a good start. But yeah, the new bottoms in particular are horrible.

Right!!
I never did do trendy clothes.
Well said sister I wish every woman should understand this 🥳💐💖 happy new year to you
❤ this, same! Stop fast fashion! It's what the planet also needs
AMEN SISTER!

I’m glad you’ve found a way to make them work for your style!
Sling back kitten heels are the most comfortable shoes, in my opinion. I've been wearing them for many years.
my fave too…
I wore stir up pants waayy back in the 60s as a kid lol
The straps were supposed to be hidden in your shoes & boots 😂
What's old is new again
I remember them from the late 70s/early 80s 😂
Ooh and if there is a seam in the stirrup, they are painful in the arch!
I think they were called ski pants
In the 90's we called them stirrups
Thanks for the suggestion of neutral color for Mary Janes because I love them. I think I will be a pair of them for spring.
I love them too!
I wear Skorts all summer, I find them more comfortable than skirts and they look better than Bermuda shorts.
Some trends only come to teach us that they DO NOT WORK! Barrel jeans/trousers are good examples. They don't look good on anyone, regardless of tall figure. I'm a slim 5'6", and they don't look good on me 😅 My friend is 5'8" and it looks bad on her 😅
I'm 5'8" and agree they are ghastly.
No kidding, I mean, did designers just run out of ideas? We had jeans like that back in the 80s and they were ugly then.
Im Afraid fashion industry do not care what looks good or not, they want to sell. I remember barrel jeans trend back in the 80’s and probably will be back in 15 or 20 years time and they keep selling

Same here. I'm 5'6 with a small butt. Low rise is mid-rise for me too.
You always nail it! And you are so cute! Hope your 2025 is great!
Thanks so much! I'm excited for 2025!
😂Stir-up leggings!
Yes! I remember!
I remember stirrup stretch pants from 1960!
Love your video Chi, learned a lot about how to put clothes together I mostly have somewhere in my closet, but do not use.
i bought barrel jeans and wondered why they didn't give me the "barrel look" now it makes sense! thank you
Glad it helped! 😊
I’m a taller girl, but I love your channel! You have impeccable taste. I’m loving those kitten heels sling backs! 😍 They look so good yet are more practical than higher heels.
I bought some barrel jeans and my daughter told me to burn them🤣
Your makeup today is lovely
I'm tall, but I love your tips, they work for me too. 😅
I'm so glad my tips work for everyone!
Thank you so much. Lots of good advice here. Barrel jeans only look good on those tall models. Us petites do have challenges, don't we?
I can’t wear sling backs- my heel/ ankle are thin and straps always slip off! 😊

Your videos are always fun and on point.
I love Mary Jane’s! I don’t care if they make me look shorter. I AM short. 😂
I love MJs. Recently bought a pair from vivaia, black. They make my foot look elegant.
Please do a vid on petite with a big meno belly please !!
I was guilty of wearing low-rise jeans when I was in my 20's and a lot skinnier. Today, heck no!

Yep. Makes legs look chunky and short.
I really like the kitten heels and slingbacks. That all I wear.😊😊😊
I find it hard to let go, but I’ve given away all my low rise jeans. No regrets.
Will never buy again
Back in the '80s, stirrups were on leggings to keep the pant leg from popping out of your boots. Worn with a belted tunic. Who remembers that look? Lol
Your videos are always helpful and I really appreciate them.
I’m 5’6” and all those trends are hideous for women of all heights!
Happy New Year! And thank you for your wonderful and pragmatic content!

Ich liebe deinen Kanal. ❤
Obwohl es KI ist, freue ich mich sehr, dass es jetzt eine deutsche Übersetzung gibt.
I like to create an empire waistline with visual tricks like very high waisted trousers and jeans, paired with a short top. I add a necklace to further pull the eye upward. I think longer pants and a pointed toe shoe also lengthens the legs. I'm only 5'3" but I look taller.
😂 I wore those stirrups in the 80s. Really helped when putting our leg warmers or boots on.
Low rise jeans are damaging to your bladder and put pressure on your lower half, particularly when sitting. Over time this pressure leads to a strained pelvic floor, overactive bladder and leaks.
I’m a short gift too. Your content is helpful, thanks!
Those barrel jeans are plain unattractive. Makes everyone look bow legged. Whose idea was that?
So funny we called those leggings stirrup pants in the 60’s. Except we wore the stirrups inside our shoes or boots. I hate low rise jeans. They only look good on skeletons. And those sausage pants atrocious. ❤

Love this video! So helpful for me!! Thank you Chi! 😊
I’m 5’6” but short legs and long torso so no barrel jeans for me. Have thought about trying Everlane’s but keep talking myself out of it haha
Thank you for this update Chi. 👍😘
You are so welcome!
Happy New Year! I don’t mind that these trends aren’t for petite women. In my opinion, these trending items are ugly. And.. Stirrup pants and low-rise jeans from the 90’s?? No, thank you 😂
Haha I hear you!
Those stirrup leggings didn't look good back then either. But trendy so of course I wanted to try (as a middle schooler)!
Wish I could wear sling back but the strap keeps slipping off my heal at the back of my foot
I hope leggings will never come back. But if they do I can be the person who will be out of trend and I don’t care.
They never went out
if you're petite in height but slender with long limbs, some of these don'ts may still work...don't avoid them altogether
You can wear these trends but it's all about proportion. That's why there's a petite sizing where the proportion and the chest, waist, knee placement, and inseam is different from that of a regular and plus sizes.
I like slingbacks but they slide off the heel and I can't walk freely in them. Is there a lifehack for that?
Thanks for the tips, Chi. I do not like the barrel leg jeans, I don't think they look flattering on anyone.
I love kitten heels and look forward to seeing more in 2025. It's the perfect shoe height for me.
Absolutely 💯 good advice!!! Thank you!
Great Ideas! Thank you!
I do like the look of slingback shoes but pointy shoes feel uncomfortable to me. Can you recommend a square toe slingback? Thank you.
Oh no, not stirrup pants again. It was bad enough in 3rd grade when I wasn't fully sentient yet
Hello, I would like a video abouy bags for petite and how to style them.
That is a great idea!
I will now not hold back in buying a pair of Mary Janes. I have been eyeing a Chanel look alike from Vivaia.
I wore MJs in another trend cycle and looking back on photos I’ve learned not again. Cropped pants and chunky shoes another no-no, if they come around again…
I got rid of the stirrup leggings. I had a pair that I only wore once. Lot of these styles are recycled. I had wedge mary jane shoes back in high school in the 90s. I skip on barrel jeans. I am hourglass shaped, wouldn't work for my body type. No for low rise jeans.
Totally agree! We have to be picky about what trends work for us.
I'm 5'4 and wear leggins a lot. But I do agree that the top needs to finish at the waist. For those of us who work hard to have a pert bottom, it's not an issue. Also helps wear top in the same colour.
I love slingbacks but the heel strap keeps slipping down Any tips?
Me too. I have duck feet though.
The best slingbacks have an elasticed back strap, but even those slip off.
I’m exactly the same no idea how to fix
Self adhesive ultra thin silicone patches are available and work a charm!
@ awesome thank you. I assume u can get off amazon?
I hated low rise jeans in the 2000s. I have a loooonnng torso and carry my weight in my belly. I could NEVER wear them!
I’m not petite, I’m almost 5’6, but I love your videos Chi, they are more helpful than any other fashion advice videos. But I hate kitten heels! I just think they are ugly; does anyone else feel the same?
Stirrup pants are not a style that should have returned.
I'm the boho type, could you address clothes that would work for that style?
I had a pair of leggings with the stirrups back in the 80s and they were such a nuisance 😒
I wonder what Chi Li's Kibbe body type is? I often struggle to relate to what she says. I like to wear my pants long for more vertical length. But high rise jeans overwhelm me. I just end up this this huge block of fabric in the middle of my body that looks very awkward. If the zipper is short then you can't see it if a shirt covers it, which I think looks weird. Also a short zipper can make it harder to take high rise jeans on and off. High rise jeans cause me to have little torso if I tuck my shits in. I feel like I have longish legs, a short rise and a maybe a slightly shorter torso. I feel like my proportions look very natural, people often think I am a little taller than I am (63.5"). Also for my medium bone structure, very delicate shoes just don't look right on me, I need something with a bit more visual weight. I also kind of like a heeled mary jane, I don't like my ankle being cut off, but below the ankle gives a bit of extra support.
So if low rise and midrise jeans come back I am all for it. Petite high rise pants come up over my ribcage, so just no.
Ugh, I wore those leggings in the late 1980s/1990, but in Australia we called them Ski Pants. Never again haha😂
I do indeed see what “the problem is” - too many idiots following “trends” in order to present themselves as “on point”. Trends need binning, and so do those who advocate them. Most of these photographs make the people in them look completely and utterly ridiculous.
I hated the stirrup pants the first time around
I dont follow trends. But being 4ft 9 i find it hard to find clothes for my height and body frame
Same height as you. Thank you for the tips and trends. Where are your white velcro sneakers 1:13 from? Love them.
Haha. Barn Coats. I look like a Barn, in a barn coat. (petite)
I want sling back but pointed toes looks so funny on me
Try them. I thought the same thing but isn't it because you're looking down on them? Good luck.
😊 thank you

Stirrup pants are a “no. On anyone regardless of height. Barrel jeans are unflattering on anyone, but particularly bad on petites. Low-rise jeans are best left in the ‘90s.
I’m 5ft 7 and think I have proportions like a petite woman. I have a long torso and short legs, so this “new” look will look awful on me. I’m sticking to my bootleg jeans and trousers!
I'm 5' 2"and have broad shoulders. I can never find blazers i like.
😅😊me encantaría que tuviera subtítulos en español sería genial ,excelente vídeo saludos y bendiciones desde México 🇲🇽 🙏 ❤😉🤩
Great advice! Thank you from another petite woman!
I'm so glad it helps!
It’s always funny to me that people will click on a video about trends and then love to go on and on about how they don’t follow trends 😂 Then this video isn’t for you. And like it or not, trends do influence what we see in the stores so you might end up not finding the stuff you like as easily.
Have you seen Susan Blakely's Tennis shoes with high heels? Quite interesting!
How come these “TRENDS” are in fashion, when no one likes them. I’m old enough to remember stretch trousers with straps under the foot. But these under shoe straps look ridiculous. Where have all the good designers gone?
5:55 That shifty look. 😂
