I thought the same! I'm tired of TH-camrs spending 5 minutes talking about themselves! Get to the point. I'm sorry, ain't got time for that, I literally watched this whilst just heading out to the gym! This is the kinda content I need. Short, sharp, concise. Well Done!!!
I swear to god petite ppl needs more recognition in the fashion industry, I always have to get my pants tailored so it suits my waist AND my length at the same time. I can never find a perfect pants.
Petite girls need representation!! I'm 5'3 and growing up, every single pair of pants I owned would get holes at the ankles because they would drag on the ground.
@@ThePumpingiron27 im also 5'3 and this is the exact reason i only ever wear/wore skinny jeans. they bunch up at the ankles so i don't have to cuff or hem them lol
@@ThePumpingiron27 they really do!!! i’m 4’10 and one of my favorite style of pants are flared jeans and i can’t find any that fit me that is not in the kids section
I love the advice to ignore fashion trends if they do not suit your body type. This is why the Gen Z destruction of skinny jeans was something I completely ignored. If it looks good, it will never go completely out of style, particularly when paired with in-season trends or simply classic looks.
True! I have to admit I almost fell for wide leg jeans trend, but then I compared how I look in skinny jeans vs wide leg and realized that skinny is the best choice, no matter what's trending
I like how she says the actual things we need to know and not the obvious thing other people keeps telling. This is the first time I realized I can look hella fine and not just sit in the corner wearing clothes which doesn't fit. Thanks a lot lady✨✊
👏👏👏👏👏 I am 5ft1&1/2 and weigh 175lbs after weighing 110lbs until my 20s, 140lbs after my first 2 kids, and now I'm stuck at 175 after my 3rd C-section 2yrs ago and my body is just not the same. It's been really hard to adjust and to see myself clearly and to know what to wear and how to dress for this new horrific shape. This video helped me within literal seconds, I'm about to go watch her other vids and probably subscribe - straightforward, adult, inclusive, to the point
Don't know how I ended up here, and I have zero interest in clothes. However, need to appreciate this video - probably one of the most to-the-point videos I've seen on YT ever. No nonsense, factual and explaining. And a very pleasant voice!
So excited to finally find someone else with short legs and a long torso!! So many people I watch for fashion (or just in general) mention having long legs and a short torso so it’s really nice to see a body shape like mine represented here!
I'll soon be announcing something I've been working on pretty much exclusively the first half of this year. Click the bell icon to make sure you don't miss the news! 💛
I own 4 jeans that are low waist...but last year I purchased one high waisted jeans and since then I haven't wore my other 4 ones 😂 *crying in loss of money
I have small waist so low rise makes me feel very uncomfortable. High rise pants gives that perfect grip to my waist so yeah, will never ever go back to low rise cutting
Great tips..as a short female, need all the tips I can get to make myself look visually taller. Also love the fact that you go straight to the point…instead of fluffing around for 5 min.
At 5' 2", all sound advice!!! Thank you! I have been doing all of what you suggested, for years! Thanks for explaining why they work! One more thing I might add, is for petite women to stay away from outfits with large patterns and prints, especially florals!
At 5’7” I usually surprise people who think I’m 5’10” because of my long torso. These tips are very helpful because my legs are shorter compared to the rest of my body
Thanks for this! I find it so annoying when some people get mad at people who give advice on what different body types should wear. Because yeah, of course we can all wear whatever we want, but some of us want to wear the things that will look best to the human eye on our proportions. There's nothing wrong with picking clothing types that complement our body types.
I'm 5"6 so not petite but I love your tips about body proportions because we have such similar bodies. I also have short legs, long torso, a pear shaped body with thick thighs and large hips. I love my body but I hate my short calves. Your tips are really helpful
I’m petite and used to wear low rise flared jeans in high school back in early 2000s. Tried a pair on recently since it’s the trend and oh my looks so weird 😂
Omg, me too! This WAS after the heady 502 high waisted heights of the 90s... but still... very low rise was IT ...and embarrassingly i have a long torso too. Bonita high waist or Mid rise ONLY
I am so glad I found you today! Finally, someone with the same body shape and similar height!! Thank you this is very helpful :) I've been doing myself injustice these past few years.
I’m long legged, but the tips you give still work with my wardrobe! Like you I’m pear shaped, and the high waist/empire waist garments draw attention away from my ‘hot zones’ and actually emphasize the length of my legs 🥰
It’s funny : i do not have short legs, but nevertheless, I listened until the end, because you explain so well and add very convincing pictures. Weil done !
I am a short legs, long torso woman as well. I'm glad that I was already following most of the rules in this video. I absolutely hate low rise. One: makes legs look short. Two: I have a big butt and they give me that gap in the back where it shows my butt crack. So, low rise trend will never come back into my wardrobe.
You probably have exactly the body type I have. There's no way I'll ever wear low rise again! They're so unflattering on me....also nobody needs to see my ass crack 😂
Thank you! I guess I’m not “petite”, as I’m 5’6”, but I have short legs and a long torso, which makes it very hard for me to find clothing that doesn’t make my legs look even shorter and elongate my torso more. High-waisted everything is such a lifesaver!
This is the first video of yours that I watched and honestly, it's so comfortable to watch. Your voice is clear, smooth and easy to follow. Your intro is straightforward. And the content is well made with clear examples. I like it ❤️ thank you.
I’m loving the content Bethany! Your tips are actually useful for a petite person like me and have been able to implement it into my wardrobe. An icon!
Oh this is so helpful! I do have shorter legs and longer torso. I do realized that I look better in an empire waist or higher waisted dress. The same with jeans. Thank you for this video!
I’m 5’3” and I’ve naturally been following these tips! You are spot on-these styles really don’t suit me. The low rise Jean thing I hated! Especially because everyone’s buttcrack was on display every time we bent over.
The one thing about clothes that I learned from having short legs is high-waisted everything. And I'm not even short, I'm 5'6, just proportionally my torso is quite long. This video will be interesting to discover any new tips :)
I avoid capris length and i never wear shorts unless they're short dress shorts with nice stockings and dainty pointy shoes. Thank you for those great tips for what to avoid!
@@kpopworld8974 It actually depends on the length of the shorts. Short-legged people, me included, can go for boy or Jamaican shorts or full-length pants. Everything else in between will not work well.
I love how she just got to the point and the video was so simple and small not like the other videos they were 10-15 minutes long and a 3 minute long intro, thanks for making such a great video and I hope I can’t take ur advice and finally look tall in jeans
Been a subscriber since Bethany has only got less than 100k subs now I’m so amazed how she really grew her channel 🥰 i love her advices as a petite lady. I learned a lot and changed my style to even better ❤️❤️❤️
I'm 4'11" _everything_ is short But, mid rise is best for me. The high rise makes me resemble Steve Urkle since my torso is as small as my fist.... Thanks for all the tips!
Like seriously, each time I think my high rise jeans look good on me I forget and see in the photos my body looks like a short chunk with no torso and I’m like. Wooooooww eeewww why can’t I have a longer torso so my shoulder and hips would look great and not attached into one😑
Great video. I’m 72 years old, 5’ 5” and have a long torso and short legs too. All of your suggestions I did manage to figure out over all these years and they are all correct. The worst was leggings and long tops! Took me awhile to figure out why some ladies looked great in these but I didn’t! It was my short legs!! I’ve done more hems over the years because of this. Any longer tops I get, I take them up immediately! Wearing heels with slacks always looked best and prevented bunching up at the bottom. I don’t wear heels any more (my ancient feet) but make sure my slacks don’t bunch up. And those low-waisted dresses I loved. But…again a no no! I loved empire waists. All of this without realizing why! So, short-legged ladies…heed this lady’s advice and forget about what’s in fashion at any given moment. Fashions change, so your time will come!! Lol
Bethany -- I'm not a petit gal, but I was interested in your style perspective and clicked on your video ! Wanted to let you know your set/desk styling is one of the best I've seen on TH-cam ....and.... you are lovely, soft yet well spoken, and the video was the perfect length time. Great work Lady !
I literally learned how to dress from you! I never knew any of these things before I found you on TH-cam! So 🙏 I’m 5’2” and u have opened up a whole new world for me♥️
Yes, all five points are perfect, thank you! Another trick I learned from a French fashion book 25 years ago: avoid long sleeves, because those will draw the eyes downward and kind of cut the body around your hips. Wear instead top with sleeves like you have on in this video, or shorter.
What Not to Wear is a title for a reality show that was on air, maybe 15-20 years ago. The main stars were clothing stylists Stacey London and Clinton Kelly, with a hair stylist and makeup artist to complete the group. The fashion 'victim' was given a certain allowance ($2000? at the time) , and Stacey and Clinton would take them clothes shopping. After that, there would be hair and makeup, and a final reveal. What I liked about the show was they didn't try anything fancy, and the person was given practical advice about how they could continue their 'transformation'.
This is such great advice! As a short person with stubby legs and a wicked long torso, this is so helpful. Some of these I'd figured out for myself but others were new. (And sorry not sorry, not giving up tunics. Especially during WFH! LOL) Thanks for great, quick, actually USEFUL content!
I am 78 and not petite but have short legs. As.one who has searched for the right clothes.for.decades, I found this.video to be excellent and to the point. I wish I had been given this advice decades.ago.
I am not petit (5’6) but my shape is similar to yours. I had forgotten or ignored all of those tips from my youth when I gained weight. I just bought whatever I could find that fit. Now that I have lost weight and care a bit more, I have rediscovered these guidelines and you give me inspiration for outfit ideas and I look like i have lost even more weight than I have. Thank you for your gentle guidance and validation.
Glad this popped up in our recommendations (this is a shared account). My mother has the exact same issue (e.g. short/petite, with shorter legs but long torso) and has always had a hard time trying to find clothes and shoes (always with heels, of course) that would flatter her build, since everything these days seems to be made for tall people, but she always asks for my opinion whenever she buys herself new outfits and I never know what to say. I'll definitely have to show her this video. Thanks.
I really like your personality and demeanor. There are so many fashion TH-camrs who I watch one video of and can barely stand them. But you got straight to the point and gave helpful advice and didn’t spend a ton of time talking about yourself or why you havent posted when I have no idea who you are lol will be watching more and subscribing!
Your voice is probably the sweetest and the softest I have heard my entire life. I just subscribed your channel because I want to hear more from you lol.
5s in and I'm in love with you. I've been trying so hard to hide my body because I also have short legs. I'm not happy with that fact. But you make me feel more confident so thank you so much. BTW, you look great in those outfits
I loveee the fact that you’re pear-shaped! I needed this so much in my life, I find that a lot of people I see online have a different body shape and it is hard to emulate some styles if when I try them I end up looking awful
This is quality content!! Love the comparisons and examples shown, Bethany! Could you do a video showing some chic outfits for home-wear and lounging around the house? It would be so cool to see that.
I’m pretty petite and have the shortest attention span known to man, your video really hits all the right points for me in pacing and helpfulness!!! Absolutely subscribing =) 💖 Thanks so much girl!
Watching this made me happy because I realized that I figured these tips out on my own, through experience. That makes me have more confidence in my styling instinct because it turns out that I do know what looks good on me. :)
How have I never seen your channel before? I have short legs and a naturally short stride length but a super long torso like I could comfortably have a ruler as my princess seam. I really appreciate this video so much
i’m exactly the same omg. long torso short legs. i’ve always hated it. i’ll definitely take these tips on board. i think i’ve subconsciously done most anyway.
Your videos are always so soothing and great with information! I’ve gotten so much more confident in my clothing choices following your tips. Being small has always made me feel so limited with outfits. Now I’m starting to choose not only more flattering pieces but more mature and timeless as well. Because summer is coming up and a lot of us will be going to festivals it would be amazing if you did something like a festival outfit guide. I have trouble pairing pretty but practical pieces to wear outside. Will definitely be subscribing!
Loved this video!! It would be really fun to see you do a "before and after" where you wear the "what to avoid" to show us why it's not optimal, and then where you swap into the look that incorporates your tips. It would be a really great visual to help get the point across (and it's always more fun to see it on a "real person" vs on a celebrity... they always seem to look perfect haha)! Loved the video.

What Not to Wear is a title for a reality show that was on air, maybe 15-20 years ago. The main stars were clothing stylists Stacey London and Clinton Kelly, with a hair stylist and makeup artist to complete the group. The fashion 'victim' was given a certain allowance ($2000? at the time) , and Stacey and Clinton would take them clothes shopping.
After that, there would be hair and makeup, and a final reveal. What I liked about the show was they didn't try anything fancy, and the person was given practical advice about how they could continue their 'transformation'.
This is such great advice! As a short person with stubby legs and a wicked long torso, this is so helpful. Some of these I'd figured out for myself but others were new. (And sorry not sorry, not giving up tunics. Especially during WFH! LOL) Thanks for great, quick, actually USEFUL content!
I’m petite so it’s so helpful with all your tips and especially having you demonstrating what to wear . Thank you 😘
I am 78 and not petite but have short legs. As.one who has searched for the right clothes.for.decades, I found this.video to be excellent and to the point. I wish I had been given this advice decades.ago.
What a beautiful video. Your voice is à therapy, for real it’s so relaxing.
I am not petit (5’6) but my shape is similar to yours. I had forgotten or ignored all of those tips from my youth when I gained weight. I just bought whatever I could find that fit. Now that I have lost weight and care a bit more, I have rediscovered these guidelines and you give me inspiration for outfit ideas and I look like i have lost even more weight than I have. Thank you for your gentle guidance and validation.
Same here!! And I'm 5'8
Glad this popped up in our recommendations (this is a shared account). My mother has the exact same issue (e.g. short/petite, with shorter legs but long torso) and has always had a hard time trying to find clothes and shoes (always with heels, of course) that would flatter her build, since everything these days seems to be made for tall people, but she always asks for my opinion whenever she buys herself new outfits and I never know what to say. I'll definitely have to show her this video. Thanks.
Where have you been all my life? Seriously I sooooooo appreciate you! Thank you. THANK YOU!
I really like your personality and demeanor. There are so many fashion TH-camrs who I watch one video of and can barely stand them. But you got straight to the point and gave helpful advice and didn’t spend a ton of time talking about yourself or why you havent posted when I have no idea who you are lol will be watching more and subscribing!
Your voice is probably the sweetest and the softest I have heard my entire life. I just subscribed your channel because I want to hear more from you lol.
I love that she mentioned inverted triangle shapes😭💕
5s in and I'm in love with you. I've been trying so hard to hide my body because I also have short legs. I'm not happy with that fact. But you make me feel more confident so thank you so much. BTW, you look great in those outfits
I loveee the fact that you’re pear-shaped! I needed this so much in my life, I find that a lot of people I see online have a different body shape and it is hard to emulate some styles if when I try them I end up looking awful
Love it! Short and to the point. Without rambling too much 😘
I agree with everything! As a short leg woman myself, I always wear high waist pants/skirts with crop tops.
This is quality content!! Love the comparisons and examples shown, Bethany! Could you do a video showing some chic outfits for home-wear and lounging around the house? It would be so cool to see that.
I’m pretty petite and have the shortest attention span known to man, your video really hits all the right points for me in pacing and helpfulness!!! Absolutely subscribing =) 💖 Thanks so much girl!
Glad I found this youtube channel. It's factual from beginning to end. It is worth our views.
I have short legs and am a rectangle body shape. Thanks for all the good tips.
Watching this made me happy because I realized that I figured these tips out on my own, through experience. That makes me have more confidence in my styling instinct because it turns out that I do know what looks good on me. :)
Ugh, that dress at 2:43 with those shoes. Flawless.
Omg, i always feel insecure of my short legs and long torso. 😑 Thank you Bethany, you are gorgeous as always ✨
I'm literally watching this just for my friend! So she can be confident whenever I'm with her or when we take pictures. Loveyoubestie🥺❤️
Aww. So sweet,🥺
Omg, I laughed Out Loud bc your Rule#1 is True!! I can’t stand the way low rise looks on me! 😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️
This is extremely helpful. Also the fact that you are also a pear-shaped makes me happier as I have the same body shape. Thank you for this!
You don't only have a nice shape but also pretty
I love how TH-cam just knew that I needed this and decided to put it in my recommended🤣
This video helps me so much! Finally I found someone who has almost the same body measurements as mine.
Same here!
She has a beautiful voice 😭❤️
How have I never seen your channel before? I have short legs and a naturally short stride length but a super long torso like I could comfortably have a ruler as my princess seam. I really appreciate this video so much
Your last monochrome outfit looks really great on you !! Love those textures, colors and accessories
This is so relaxing
i’m exactly the same omg. long torso short legs. i’ve always hated it. i’ll definitely take these tips on board. i think i’ve subconsciously done most anyway.
Same lol cuz some things just dont look right
I can't imagine anything more helpful than what I just watched. Thank you so much for such great information spoken so well.
Your calmness and being concise is so professional and classy!!!! Arghh! Luv from Philippines!
Your videos are always so soothing and great with information! I’ve gotten so much more confident in my clothing choices following your tips. Being small has always made me feel so limited with outfits. Now I’m starting to choose not only more flattering pieces but more mature and timeless as well. Because summer is coming up and a lot of us will be going to festivals it would be amazing if you did something like a festival outfit guide. I have trouble pairing pretty but practical pieces to wear outside. Will definitely be subscribing!
Thanks Anastasia! Great video idea 🤗
Enjoyed this, Bethany. My wedding dress was high waisted with a short embroidered top over it. It made me look tall, elegant and slim. No mean feat!!!
MY wedding dress settled just under my ribs. And I LOVE that dress!
Loved this video!! It would be really fun to see you do a "before and after" where you wear the "what to avoid" to show us why it's not optimal, and then where you swap into the look that incorporates your tips. It would be a really great visual to help get the point across (and it's always more fun to see it on a "real person" vs on a celebrity... they always seem to look perfect haha)! Loved the video.
I thought about doing this but I’d have to buy all the things I taught to avoid because I don’t own them haha
@@Dearlybethany Hahaha that is totally fair!! Love your channel and thank you for all the great videos :)
I am a short legged gal, and have been looking for solutions for my clothing style. This is helping a ton, thanks so much! ♥️
That fact that you got right to the point, were very sincere and gave grate tips made me have to subscribe ❤
Your voice is so soothing
I could listen for hours :)
