The problem with tucking is that if you don't have a flat belly, it does not work nearly as well in achieving the look you are going for.
You can try tying the side knot!
I have a poochy belly. It’s a struggle. I rarely do full tuck. And never a thick top. Good luck. 👍
How about being very petite with square shaped body? Tucking shirt is very hard, esp. with office wear what would you suggest?
Yes, I am post menapause, with a chubby stomach. This hardly works for me. I’ve been watching videos on this for half an hour, and tried what all these fashion geniuses have said, and it hardly works for me. On the side is better. On one video they suggested taking the front of the shirt and twisting it so you have a little twist that is two or three inches long. I don’t remember what the video’s title was, it was less than a minute long though.
You should wear high waisted pants! Tucks look so nice with them
Thanks, Chi! I love the look French tuck! And I've always did that but now I know why I like it so much! It makes me look taller and defines my waist! I'm 5'3" I also like how you do your videos with a sense of humour and lightness :)
You are so welcome Irene!
Same!! The humour and lightness is great!
Love this video! Stress ages! I found disconnecting from the TV, removed a lot of my stress. Their
‘programming” was taking a toll on my health. I cancelled my cable and also Alexia! Tired of having all our conversations listed too! I use to keep the TV on for background sound, found silence is sooo much better!
Wow I am getting out my clothes and trying some of these things! My favorite is the french tuck! :-) Thank you for showing what can be done with the back if needed. It always helps me to ask my friend what they think also- sometimes they come in the door and gives me a thumbs up! I love the tie the shirt top. I am so excited and have fun with hair ties! My model friend showed me how to take the tie is making if enough fabric you can make what is hanging into a flower. I have my own hack to do it as I could not do it how she did. It looks the same. Thank You for showing me how to do french tuck with sweater! It is just what I needed to know! I gave up cable knits because it is too much volume for me! But I love how you did it and looks amazing! Thank You so very much! You make me more excited about fashion and how to rock them!
So glad to hear!
Love this! What great information! I have done all of these except for the half tuck. I think it is cute, but my brain’s need for symmetry does not allow me to do this.
Thank you Marta! Do what feels natural to you- that’s always the best!
I think it looks sloppy to only half tuck!
Been using all these past 3 or 4 years,,,plus a knotted t-shirt look. Great on us petites.
Great to hear Eliza!
Are you following me around? I was playing around with this yesterday before I saw your video. I was struggling a bit because I think my shirt was too long for a half tuck (it hit below my hip line). I ended up using the front tuck. Thank you for all the great reminders!
Glad I could help Jenn!
I just dont get the point of the half tuck
I love the French tuck! I'm 52, and even though everyone says there's no age limit for fashion, I would feel silly with the half tuck!!
Glad you like the French tuck!
Great info. Love the French tuck!
Thank you!
I love that cable knit sweater!!!
Thank you Jan!
Needed the French tuck for a semi-formal party; I THANK YOU.
Thank you for this video, I'm so bad at tucking...! I've just realized that tucking improves proportions.
So glad to hear!
I love casual tucks! Instead of hair ties, though, I got t-shirt clips from Amazon. They have so many styles and colors - they’re jewelry for your tops!
I wonder if you can help... Being a post menapausal lady with a little belly fat, my eyes go straight to my belly whenever I attempt the tuck. I have worked out that tops that go up at the sides are more esthetically pleasing to the eye + cover my little belly. I did notice the black shirt seemed wider at the bottle + gathered well. All ideas appreciated 😁
Hi Eileen- I'll make another video for those of us with mid-section concern. In general, you want to go with a top with asymmetrical hem, or an open cardigan with waterfall hem. Those will distract from the belly.
Chi..you are a beautiful person and I appreciate your helpful and caring videos.
Thank you so much for making this video! I learned something new with hiding the knot! 👍
Glad it was helpful!
I like the way the long coat looked on you. However, the cropped coat, or jacket looks best, in my opinion.
I am in love with the white cropped coat with the blue trim. Always like rolling-up my sleeves a bit.
However, I did not see the white cropped coat with the blue trim in the links you left below. Can you please tell us where you got it?
Appreciate your petite video dressing very much. Thank you, Valerie.
Oh thank you! That blazer was from Nic + Zoe which I got from Nordstrom last year.
Love the way you put these together, LOOKS 😍 I loved filming my how to style video I made sure to include a transition outfit, I love to see great style 🥰
Thank you Kira!
Thank you!
That was super well explained! Thank you!
Thanks! I’d say just remember to tuck in the side of the shirt that has the buttons when doing the half tuck. You’ll avoid that weird gap at the top of your pants & your stomach will seem to be more flat.
Thanks for sharing! Great tip!
Great tips! 👌Like many of your videos. Thank you! 😊
Loooove these tips and tricks 👏🌻.
I just found you a week ago, & I'm loving your content! I'm wondering if you can address thick legs. I'm short & curvy with extra thick, fleshy, wide legs (not just thighs, but knees & calves too). I hid even the lower part of my legs from my early teens until my early 30's. Now I am willing to wear knee length skirts. It would be good to learn about clothing lengths hem lines (for example, I love black but a black skirt that has a straight line "cut" across my legs looks horrible, especially if it's starchy fabric), tights, boots & shoes that would be best for this challenge. Thank you!
Sarah- I'll have this on my video list. Wherever the skirt hem ends, it's always going to draw attention to that area on your legs/calves. So, if you have thicker calves, midi length is going to be a challenge. Asymmetrical hem (slanted, or high/low hem) midi skirts work better than straight cut.
@@PetiteDressing Thank you so much!!!💖💓
Hi Chi, can you please do a video on how to tuck an OVERSIZED office button down shirt ( for office wear)? I have some unworn oversized button down shirts that I would like to wear in the office but it's cotton and I am not sure whether it's possible to tuck in as I am very petite. Thank you in advance.
I also tie the shirt through belt loop. Keeps it from riding up!
That's a great idea!
I’m glad you mentioned, this way was very popular on the 80s.
@@carolinalopez3648 Yes! When the skinny jeans were in as well.
I have menopause gut. No tucking for me 🥴☹
Great tips. I❤️your french tuck. I have a similar sweater from H&M. I have a chambray shirt that works especially well for the tie method.
Glad you like it!
Hi, I am following all your videos. It helped me. Especially high waist pants. I can see a lot of difference after your guidelines. I am also petite my weight very normal but I have a big lower tummy( due to work from home effect). Plz, guide me on how to hide the tummy and look better.
Great video, nice to have options. I am a pear, so I buy fitted shirts or narrow sweaters mostly. I think I’m a little weary of rolling and tucking my clothes due to my fit issues. But good information.
Thank you Eileen!
Thank you this was a great video. I don't tuck my shirts or sweaters because my stomach is the part of my body I don't want to draw attention to.
Thanks for sharing Tanya!
Me too. I would like to be able to elongate my legs but hide my lower stomach
@@carolverrier4630 Hello Carol... I feel the same way.
So helpful!!! Thank you!
Really helpful, thank you.
I’m going to give these a try. Great video!
Have fun!
Thank you! Gonna try it!
Do a video with polo shirts
Dear Chi, "To tuck or not to tuck, that's the question" great video
I love the effect that give it to your figure; it is amaizing the improvement in the looks.
You look so beautiful😍
Sadly, for me, I don't know why doesn't work that great. I'm an apple🍎with not overweigth, so every time I try to tucking, the looks are much better from the front view; but, when I turn to the sides doesn't look that good. As a result, I became more self conscious of my lower midsection. I think I have to use a shapewear to hide it, at least a little bit☹ but, that is another "problem" because I don't like to wear shapewear in daily basis.
I love this video.
Many thanks⚘
Thank you so much Tatiana!
Thank you for the video!
Thank you.
Please do a video on what to wear in jungle safari for petites ,pls
A 👎 for the half tuck. Love your videos and have learned a lot❤️
Thanks for watching!
Hello Chi, which are the brands of jeans you are wearing on this video? :)
I love this 🥰
Tall man with shirt that won't stay tucked in: oh, when women do this, it's a fashion statement; when it happens to me accidently, I'm called sloppy. SMH.
what about tucking jeans into boots? Thought that was a no-no for petites.
I only tuck in the front or loosely tie a knot in front to accentuate the waist. I keep my flat butt covered. Lol
Do we have to use a belt when we tuck? I didn’t see you use one, so I’m thinking I can leave that accessory off. I feel a belt brings more attention to my thick waist.
You do not have to use a belt, and you are right that they do draw attention to the mid section more!
I noticed heavy girls do not do this. Is this a trend to say I'm in shape? This is the first thing I thought when I saw this fashion.
Chi ... I love these shoes and want 😍
Thank you Bonnie- the nude booties and pumps both are from Marc Fisher Ltd
If you'd asked me which way looks better, then expect for dress shirts, blouses and plaid shirts which were meant to be tucked in, shirt looks better untucked on girls. Boys should all ways have their shirts tucked in because shirt looks better tucked in on boys.
Thank you!!!!!
I am petite (5" 2") full busted and very short waisted. Tucking shirts in make my boobs look too big and makes my torso look shorter than it already is. what version of tucking do you recommend?
Ann, I’d go with half tuck.
I like the Half tuck idea. Sometimes the whole shirt is to thick ! 😊
Glad you like it Gail!
I legit didn’t know Tan France made up the French tuck!
This does not look good with my proportions :(
You should probably tuck the side under the buttons instead
I think you look slimmer with the untucked.
Thanks!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😍😍😍💖💖💖💖👍
Whenever I see somebody with their shirt in a "half-tuck", I think that it looks like he (nearly always a "he") got dressed while sporting a severe hang-over.
I am so tired of seeing the half tuck. Do it all the way or not at all. It’s a trend that is past it time.
