    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Very good points. Some of them I already knew. I am 5' 1/2" tall. One thing I also like is jackets and cardigans that end right at the top of my hipline. I do also wear a lot of neutral colors because it makes the body line longer. I hope that terms makes sense! Thanks very much.

      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'.

    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.

  • @NadiraJamal
    @NadiraJamal 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    +1 for high-waisted pants. Besides the optical illusion, long torsos have “taller” hips, so we need the extra rise just to get enough coverage. Ditto for a rounder booty: it takes more rise to cover a curved shape than a flatter one of the same size. I have both, and high rise jeans fit me like mid rise.

  • @leesteal4458

    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.
