No one does it like you, Chi! You don’t take an hour, and you explain why things feel off, and we can’t tell why! You’re a godsend! Thank you! Making us a bit more classy AND confident. 😎
Thank you for this!! I've been looking for this style advice for YEARS. "What shoes go with what clothing and why some shoes look bad with certain clothing." Your way of articulating technical aspects of style is unique and sooo helpful!!
This is a constant struggle for me. Basically, heels make everything look better, but I need the comfort of sneakers. Thank you for the great content, Chi. I love your editing, especially the outros.
Wow! Some real nuggets here. "You are only as tall as the length of your pants." I need to etch this on to any surface in the vicinity of my wardrobe! Really appreciate the advice about always wearing heels with wider leg pants. Thank you!
Chi, I don't wear heels, I just never learned to walk with them. Could you do a video with alternatives for us short women who love wide leg and flares?
I love how you edited this video! I hope everything is going well for you. Also, can you do a video about dressing for comfort but still look like you’re dressed up? I clock in a lot of steps at work I need your advice. ❤
I love your videos! THANK YOU for doing the shoe / pant video! I am always confused by what goes with what and your video was so helpful! You are helping us so much. Cant wait for your next video!!
So great that you back again Chi! I hope everything is well. You look like my cousin! I'm from Fujian. I want to see your video more often, but I understand to make high quality content like this takes times. Your always have best fashion advice, timeless and elegant, not just for short girls.
Great video as always, brilliant advice, thank you! Don't be afraid of your height, I'm also 5'2" and I love being petite 🥰 embrace your stature and enjoy being able to wear tall heels, I wouldn't be a inch taller for all the world. I can enjoy the help and protection of tall people, I can wear all styles and my boyfriend says I'm "fun size", it wouldn't be so much fun being 5'8" for example! Lots of love 💘
Hey, hey 👋 now. I'm 5'7", there's room for us all to be fun size😉. It simply depends on the height of our partner...🤍. My mom was 5', my dad 6'2", & bro 6'1". In a family pic 📸 at his wedding💍 , the three of us looked like 🌲 Land of the Giants 😳 compared to her 🧚♀️. 🤔The photographer should've snapped the photo w/her on the highest landing & us on lower steps around like her ⚜️ royal court. That way, we wouldn't tower ⬆️ quite so obviously above her. (Either that or like 👑 Prince George made her stand on stack of coffee table books📚 to make up some of the difference.) 😁You also made me think of a former boss. He was probably 5'2", a Southerner from an Ivy League background, & a former 🪖Army Colonel w/a serious Napoleon Complex. 😍 I loved wearing my highest heels 👠 around him. Also my 80s tortoiseshell & gold round fashion eye glasses that he hated. 😊Good times! 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Thank you Chi for all of your great information in every video! I would love it if you would consider doing a shoe segment for flat shoes and sneakers/running shoes. I have bad knees and heels just aren't an option anymore regardless of how high or short the shoe is. Flat is all I can do. Thanks for conisdering it from this 50 something year old lady, lol!
your videos are so good.. i am 5 ft 3 and have never worn flats until finding your channel.. i have now started wearing high waisted fitted jeans with same colour top and nude flats.. so comfortable and recieving loads of compliments... thank you and really hope you are ok after such a tough month xxx
Your advice is timeless and spot on, so us older ladies can get help too. As we go through the stages of our life, needs change, vertigo kicks in and heels are out. Our feet change too, weight, and lifestyles like retirement all are a factor in what we do and what we wear. Florida living is all about comfort...... loose, linen (I sew), low sandals and my now apple shape likes straight leg pants. We have to accommodate and factor in these changes. Sometimes I look to see what aging actors are wearing........and of course Ms. Chi.........hope your feeling better:)
I know you said no sneakers with wide leg light weight pants but have you tried wearing platform sneakers with them? I have sneakers with 2 inch platform with I think look good with the wide leg pants. That’s pretty much going to be my “uniform” when I’m walking all over Paris next month.
Love your videos, even though I’m an athletic, almost 6 ft tall Northern European woman 😂 So most of the things you mention don’t apply to me at all, but I still learn so much about fashion.
I am not petite but still watch your videos. I like you get right to the point. I have size 111/2 ( and 5'11) so find shoe shopping a struggle . The manufacturers think a woman's foot stops growing at size 10. Fortunately l don't have a problem with clothes. ( Except for jackets I have more success with men's ( broad shoulders) Have a beautiful day.
Finally! Someone gets me! Now I would like to add I’m not only petite but very pear-shaped. Would you do a segment on that? What where what not to wear?
Love these tips! A lot of times we don't think about how shoe type affects length appearance. I will say often times we are in situations where we can't wear heels. For example, we'll be standing for a long time or will be walking. There are many differences among sneakers too and you can find some that are wider/taller/flesh toned, that help create height.
Consider low vamp vs high vamp shoes, coloration (skin tone will be “lengthening”), openness of shoes (strappy vs solid), and the heaviness of the shoes (bulk, attached geegaws, and fabrication). Play and take photos. Find out which “rules” work for you.
Ayieeeh thank u for this idea again i love to watched ur videos since its recommended in youtube,and i never regret to watched them, Self confidence for the shorts woman like me is sooooooo much feel good❤❤❤
It really depends on the sneaker. A nice chunky, leather platform style looks great with almost anything; like the Nike Airforce One and all its incarnations. Practical, smart and stylish!
@@di3486 I wear chunky sneakers with almost everything! I like the Nike Airforce Ones and their variations; full leather upper and slight platform sole. They are smart, practical and stylish.
People can't wear heels all the time. Sometimes we need to wear pants with flats or sneakers (e.g., when on vacation and doing lots of walking). What pants should we wear with these shoes then?
🤔How about a wedge or platform? Trinny of London is 5'10", but has the long torso/low waist/short leg scenario. I'm a 5'7" hourglass (vs her rectangle), but we share the same configuration & challenge. Our legs can easily look stumpy 🪵 in the wrong silhouette🤣. Her #1 rule to elongate her frame is wearing that continuous column of color ↕️, but she does take far greater risks w/her footwear. This fashionista typically wears a wedge underneath longer length flare or wide leg. She'll often wear a platform white sneaker or silver brogue under a more voluminous palazzo pant. In all these cases, all you can see is a long expanse of pant leg. There's no shoe peering out from under a hem that chops ✂️ her off. 😉If you can't match your shoes & socks|tights w/your bottom (i.e., skirt or pant)〰️when all else fails go for nude shoes/hosiery. You can choose a skin toned sling back, a loafer, a ballerina, a sneaker, a boot, etc. At least visually, they will not stunt your height. Chi's got loads of videos on the topic & 💯% made a believer out of me. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
This is great information. My only concern is that jeans worn with heels look seriously stupid. Heels are dressy and jeans are casual no matter how much you paid for them. You cannot take a person seriously if they are clicking around in heels or dressy shoes with jeans. I have a bunch of grandkids. Sneakers, streetwear, and jeans are no joke to any of them. I will ask about a wedge shoe, but my guess is no. Any other options?
I think slim straight leg jeans are flattering as long as the hem hits just above the ankle bone, showing the slightest skin. Also , i like lightweight trousers (even tho Chi says not to). The key is to find lightweight, high waist, flat front slimmer cut, and the hem barely floats the ground. Again , as long as the pant has a slimmer cut with light fabric I feel it is stylish. Also the top should be a more tailored slim fit to not overwhelm our short stature , tucked in (or cropped at waistline) with a stylish coordinating belt.
No one does it like you, Chi! You don’t take an hour, and you explain why things feel off, and we can’t tell why! You’re a godsend! Thank you! Making us a bit more classy AND confident. 😎

So glad to know that!
What kind of pants look best with sneakers?
I actually like a bulky shoe with wide leg or boot cut pants, Kind of a nineties rave thing
I would say skinny pants would look better with sneakers
Skinny pants, Cargo, shorts,
You are amazing. Have helped this 63 year old so much. ❤

Play and take photos. Find out which “rules” work for you.
YaY! I love the "best version of yourself!"
You have taught me so much!! I’ve been 5’ and 200 lbs, but now, 5’ 125lbs. 💞
I'm so glad!
Nice to see you back friend. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What do you do if you can’t wear heels or most flats. I have plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. Choices are very limited for shoe fashion
Ayieeeh thank u for this idea again i love to watched ur videos since its recommended in youtube,and i never regret to watched them,

Very helpful tips….excellent video as always !
Excellent tips demonstrating the wrong shoes and the right shoes.
Very helpful like always. Thanks!!

such a fantastic video thank you. I hope I remember all of that.
Hi sis! I was missing you here! Good job! Thank you!!!
Please tell me who make the sling back flats in the opening clip.
U should probably do a video on capsule wardrobe for petites...love ur content btw ❤
Thank you so much for the idea!
I used platform sneakers for straight trousers. I think it works for me :)
I use T-straps
The biggest takeaway I got from this is that I need to go shoe shopping.
Thank you. You are a gem.
Thank you so much! ❣️
Thank u for this video it helps me a lot how to dressed up. I love you Chi,youre so gorgeous.
Good pacing Chi! Love your videos ❤
Then what if i only have sneakers. What bottom can i wear?
I needed this! Great tips! Thanks 😊 ❤
Thank you Chi, very useful tips… i was wondering which pants might go well with snickers
Good tips however what about those of us that can not wear heels?
Ankle-strap shoes have always been my favorite. I'll have to lean towards nude colors.
Muy lindo video ❤️🇦🇷
Thank you Chi 🙂
Hello what if I don’t use heels. Could you make a video using jeans and sneakers? Thank you
thank you so much for demonstrating the right and wrong!
This chanel became my bible. Thank you so much for opening my eyes to styling like this
You are always welcome!
Excellent as always.
Thank you Chi you are the best
This is helpful

You're very welcome! ❤️
Thank you 😢 I needed this video.
I dunno those flare pants with sneakers looks really cute
Oh well, time to go shoe shopping. Thanks very much
You’re welcome 😊
I needed this.
Love the shoes!!!
Can you wear white sneakers with narrow pants?
I was literally throwing a fit this week about shoes and pants pairing 😂
Chi you are the best. Please do a video on jumpsuits for those with short legs with a bit of abdominal fat..
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
When can I wear tennis shoes? Heels are SO PAINFUL
Just amazing Very Beautiful 💕💕
Wonderful highlights in your hair.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Shoes are especially difficult for me because my shoes have to be FLAT. Always a challenge.
I can’t wear heels anymore, but I do wear a chunky heel with wide leg pants. They looks good.
Thank you! ❣️
So, when are you able to wear Sneakers?
Love your videos!
Thank you so so much! ❣️
Thanks! ❤️
Unfortunately I am not able to wearing heels 👠
Great video!
Thank you so much! ♥️
Love this, thank you 😂
What if you don’t use heels at all?
Wedge heels

@@missw324 I don’t look good on chunky shoes nor I like them really. I just want to see which flat shoes are best for this circumstance.

Wide leg pants (including trousers) with sneakers are all the rage this year. I think it looks sloppy, but I don’t make the rules, lol
