My gf is 4'11" Phillipina with short legs, with small feet like yours and she's always reminding me of how short she is, like I don't already know that.. Heels bother her, she thinks i like her to wear them. But personally, i like flats more... So, this may help me when i want to buy her shoes. -Thanks for this guide
Glad it was helpful! Hoping you find the right shoes for her!
Me wife too! Though I like to see her a bit taller đ, but really I just want her to be comfortable and confident
@@royyaks
Just curious, why is it you like to see her a " bit taller?"
That's so cute that you are out there learning things to make you girlfriend happier and comfortable! Congratulations, hope you and her have a nice life together.
@@barbaradarosaazevedo2134 I think any guy who cares and truly loves his woman would. And thanks. She's a good one.
I love your style, your funny and genuine! Not pretending being someone else. I do enjoy your videos!
I love how even though I am curvy, I can still relate so much to you đâ€
It is difficult to find stylish influencers like you, but with whom I can still identify and have the same problems, thank you Chi âšđ„ș
I also love how detailed the video was, toe shape for different needs, how wide the shoes need to be, colors, etc... Things we never thought would matter, but devil is really on the details.
Love from Germany đ
So glad to hear!
Eye-opening. Saw the following video about the slope too and there was so much I didnât know that Iâm definitely going to use when shopping for shoes now. Thank you! Subscribed! âșïž
I appreciate your birds eye views of the shoes u were demonstrating in this post. Great info as usual.
Iâve never realized most of these TY so much from another short gal đ
I also have short, wide feet, with a high instep. I learned years ago that I need a low vamp. So pumps or ballet cut are just about all I can wear. I love the look of loafers on everyone else, lol. I prefer the almond shape toe over pointed for me. Thanks for another great video, Chi. Your channel has come a long way!
Thank you Denise! So glad to hear you figure out what suites you!
I have long wide flat feet w a narrow ankle, so I HAVE to wear ankle strap heels or my shoes fall off !! I'm also hourglass shape and love structured, architectural fashion and menswear. So funny how what he are given doesn't always suit what we like !
Loving this video! Such a valuable information! Thanks!
Great video! I love the black heels with the nude straps! Perfect idea!
I love how you broke down the word nude. I always thought that term nude was putting everyone into the same pile. It totally leaves out other complexions. That light tan color is not a nude for me. I love how you incorporate everyone. Your videos are my favorite for petite women.
Thanks, Tamira! Glad you like them and thanks for sharing!
Always happy to see a new video from you Chi! Brilliant!â„ïžđđ
đ thank you
I love your channel I am 5'2 and a 2 petite I am learning so much from your channel. Thank you
What awesome advice for me as Iâm only 5ft tall hourglass shape too- to purchase mostly nude shoes!! Wow thatâs something I never thought of most of my shoes are black blue and gold. I never thought about Nude Thank you đđđŒđđ
I love your content & your sense of humorđ„°
Thank you! So glad to hear!
This is really helpful. Thank you.
Thank You for this wonderful information đ
Glad it was helpful!
Im always amazed how my taste in shoes matches yours. I would buy and wear every single pair of shoes you recommended in this video. Really enjoyed that.
Thank you so much! âŁïž
Thank you so much! I look forward to your content. :)
So glad to hear!
Good advice. Thank you
Thank you for this post! 175cm - 5ft 9in and built like a lynx: compact torso, long limbs, prominent hands n feet I love ankle straps & high vamp mules/ clogs but could not figure why they work for me when they " break rules" now I know, by sacrificing a bit of visual leg length, I bring my 39/40 feet into proportion.
I haven't seen you in awhile good to see you. Love that pale pink v-neck top.
Very helpful tips
I just love ,how you cover every thing !â€
Thank you so much! â€ïž
As smart as always. Never miss any video. Thank you for your channel.đ
Glad you like them!
Thank you for a wonderful video Chi! You are awesome!
Thank you so much!
Thank you!! This is very helpful for me. I'm short and sometimes it's a struggle to find the right outfit and shoes for my petite self
You are awesome. Thanks for the info!!
Happy to help!
I love your wise advise with a sweet since of humor đ„°đđ I am learning so much from you !! Your petite fan đđ§đŒââïžđâšđ
Thank you so much, Paz!!
Excellent information, thank you Chi. I definitely will follow you advice from now on when I buy footware. đđ€đâ„ïž
So glad to hear, thank you Elizabeth!
Great tips, Chi, thank you đ
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much maam, very informative and interesting.
What sorcery is this!! đČđČđČđđđ Love it
I love this video. However, I dress more casually on regular basis. Can you make a video on how to choose sneakers for petite women?
I love all the videos you have on how to decide the best shoe STYLE for your outfit or body shape, but would you please teach us the rules of the shoe COLORS? Like is it ok if I wear taupe colored shoes with a dark brown dress? Or taupe shoes with black jeans? Or should the shoes always be the same color as darker-colored dresses/jeans? My mom and grandmother always said to not wear white shoes until Spring⊠are there seasonal shoe color rules too? (Who makes these rules anyway? đ). Thanks for all you do!
I love your channel, Chi.đ„°đ„°đ„°
Thank you! đ€
Love this video and itâs so helpful! Thank you!!!! itâs quite a challenge for me with a small (size kids 3-4) with wide bunion feet. :/
Glad it was helpful!
U are so good at this! Good eye!
Thank you, Lynn! I really appreciate that âșïžâ€ïž
Thank you so much! This was very helpful. I want to elevate how I dress but get frustrated with limited options for those of us with short legs and curves.
You're welcome, Suanne! I'm glad to be helpful â€ïž
Great tips and video đđ€©â€ïž
Glad you liked it!!
I agree w/you on all points w/the possible exception of pointy-toe shoesâŠ.I guess itâs just a personal aesthetic. Even though Iâm 5â7,â I still feel that my legs are a bit short for my height so Iâve applied all your suggestions, mostly just by learning over time what looks good on my proportions, etc. But instead of pointy-toed shoes, I select only rounded or almond-toed shoes which have a similar effect. But definitely NO square-toed shoesâŠ.I really wish that trend would END!
I love ankle straps shoes so much! The first time I'm inclined to ignore some of the tips đ
You can make them work with pants that cover your ankle so nobody sees it.
I adore the nude shoes with the thin ankle strap. Wish I could find them in my size.
I saw someone explain that if you use ankle straps, just to make sure they're sitting really low, below your ankle. It actually looked really nice. It was a thin strap and I'll probably try it.
Gorgeous shoes to wear and I like the pointy toe shoes the best and they look elegant and shows how your legs good good wearing them. I like the loafers look they are gorgeous shoes to wear. I love your shoe Chi and thank you for a wonderful video. Love XO â€đ
Thank you love!
I am learning so much from you and it is so helpful. I am curious because you never show or mention more of a âcamelâ colored bootie or tall boot more for transition season or winter. Where I live fall is even very dark and so clothes get darker and the âlightâ color boots would not work except for maybe one or two days here and there. The âcamelâ color brown is much more common, popular, easy to find. I like the idea of having a different option than just black to make the same clothes look like a different outfit just by changing up the boot color to brown and accessories. If you could show some of these examples of how to wear âcamelâ colored boots/ booties ( or you just donât recommend at all?) Even if you donât own itâŠ( maybe Pinterest pictures) it would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much!!! đđ„°đ
I'm a 5' and thin but one of my biggest insecurities is my big bulky calves which often got cramps- though i have actually small ankles.
I hope I learn from you. I really want to dress well and be confident
You can do it!
Make sure to walk flat on your feet! I had that too but I didn't notice I was leaning my weight towards the balls of my feet, which pulls on your calves and exercises them, making them bigger and more muscled. Flat feet on the ground, with the balls and heels of your feet equally shouldering your weight!
Thank you so much I bought the Amazon shoes and they are great
Glad you like them!
I am very grateful you did this video. I donât mind repeating information but you also explain more to help me understand how to put your outfit together with shoes.
There was more towards the begging of your video that you wore black pants, some skin showing at the ankle then black shoes. Would it be better with nude colour instead? đ
Thanks for the great tips! Now I know what to buy.
Hi Christina- yes, nude shoes can work great with ankle pants!
Thank you so much â„ïž I'm 5'0 âš
Amazing video, Chi â€ïž thank you
Also, totally agree with you on the original Birkenstock style -- it's not for me. HOWEVER these days Birkenstock has so many different styles of sandals and shoes that are much more elegant than the most famous chunky wide-strap sandals. I wear the Bali sandals and just ordered some mary-janes flats from them
You're welcome and thank you for sharing!
Hi Chi, what about almond toe shoes? Yes or no for petite women?
Hi, thank you for the video and do you think the way we dress has to change when we take pictures?
I feel that when I go out I need a way of dressing different which includes being at ease, knowing what is more flattering to me and that touch of personal style .
Hi, I also dress up more when I leave the house- but I did notice when I dress well even when I'm at home, it helps with productivity!
Where did u get that pink top?
Also can u make video about flat shoes on short people?
thank you for sharing ideas ma'am .i have a lots of mistakes wearing my clothes đđđđ now i know.God bless more vdeos please
Glad it was helpful, Marilou!
It would be great if u can make a video about sneakers especially the ones with a little platform
I'll take note of that. Thank you so much! â€ïž
Chi, sure hope you and your family are well and safe from the floods!
Thank you Damaris!!
Whatâs the name of the company for your comfortable walking shoes?
What size shoe do you wear? I think you may have said, 5' 0", but wasn't sure. I wear size 5 in a sandel but 5 1/2 or size 6 if I wear boots. With boots, I wear socks so it takes up some of the room. Also, sometimes after wearing boots for several hours or walking, my feet swell a bit, so have to size up a 1/2 size or full size to a size 6.
Hey Chi! I loved the video, but I have a question! What shoes/ boots ( especially what color) to wear if I like colorful pants? Thanks in advance!đ
You can wear nude or black ones! â€
what do you think about double g leather slippers gucci?
Can you provide link for the short white boot with cut outs? I'm 5'0" and love your videos!
I got that from Marc Fisher last year.
Will high heel Mary jane style work for short legs?
Loveeee this video can you please let me know the brand of the nude booties with the kitten heel please absolutely love them đđđ
So glad you like it! That was from Linea Paolo.
In veggies out on your videos today l loss weight now l'm a true petite will be shopping soon now l know what to look for. Thank you.
What about blazers for broad shoulders small waist?
What about square toed shoes that are beige/nude colored shoes?đ
Your are me fav ⊠thank you âŠ
im 4'11 and have size 9 feet, should i keep wearing pointy shoe?pls respond
What shoes are you wearing @5:10?
I am also 5ft2 with short legs and wide feet.
But i have thicker ankles... đ i have always preferred pointed shoes over round.
The round toe makes me feel childish for some reason.
Maybe i might try them again..
Those tassel boots đ
Aaaah, and the nude boots đ
Hi, round toe can be lovely, and pointed toe does the best job to elongate your legs for sure!
@@PetiteDressing
Thank you for your tips! đ
Me gustan sus videos, pero por favor podrĂan ser subtĂtulados en español, gracias.
Dear Chi, thanks for all your tips.
Every centimeter counts jijij
Yes, pointed toe shoes are very flattering; but, a little uncomfortable.
OMG, thanks for share that one of your foot is a little small than the other; that applied to me, as well.
Later, I realize the same condition on me, and I was thinking that it was somerhing wrong on my feet. Also, I observe that my legs pants are not exactly equal; one is a little more longer than the other. Comic it may looks, I was thinking to talk to my doctor about it because I don't know if one of my legs is shorthing or one side of my derriere is smaller than the other side.
Is this a common thing?
Many thanksâ
I think body asymmetry is common, but talking to your doctor is a good idea.
@@PetiteDressing thankssđ
Im petite and slim but i think i belong to curvy type..cup c bust,small waist line and hips just fit my breast size..leg a bit short i think..in your opinion what type i belong??pls reply...tnx a lot
Pumps for medium-wide petites are challenging!
Iâve had good luck with Sam Edelman pumps.
where's the silver wrap top you're wearing at 8:24 from? đ
Hi, that was Banana Republic.
What are the black wide leg pants you are modeling at about the 7:25 mark?
That was from Banana Republic!
What if Iâm choosing workwear and pointed shoes give me pain to be standing all day? Whatâs my other option? Just so you know my feet are super narrow and skinny.
Have you thought about getting tennis shoes with a wedgy heel?
I recently bought a lovely tennis shoes that are mostly white, with light pink and light blue hues on the shoe. They have about a 1 3/4 to about a 2 inch wedge heel and bought them at Wal-Mart. I didn't measure them exactly just approximate.
Oopsđ ...I made all these mistakes đč thanks for the video chiđ
So glad to hear you like it!
I love it
I am not short but like to watch your videos. I guess it's a hard work to make one
What shoes would you recommend for someone with big calves?
I'd check out the brands that make wide calf boots (Naturalizer for example).
where did you get your wide leg pants at 7:25?
From Banana Republic.
I have a pair of red short boots, any idea of how to style them? I don't have any red bottoms :')
Hi! I also have boots of different colors (not just black or nude)- you can wear monochromatic outfit (top and bottom), which can elongate your frame even if your shoes are colorful!
@@PetiteDressing Thank you! I'm binge watching your videos, and I'm so grateful I found you! I have an hourglass figure and always wondered why some things looked kinda off on me... Now I know what I'm going to donate/sell this winter
Red is a wonderful accent color...works so well with neutrals, gorgeous with dark green(my favorite)...experiment with a print or striped or plaid scarf and pick up another color from scarf...enjoy those cute boots
Your feet look so much like mine. Narrow heel, but wide toe. I joke [sort of] that I have 'duck' feet. I wear a size 6 but that is mostly to give myself the width in the toe box so that my feet aren't "scrunched". . .
What about white sneakers? Please respond â€ïž
I love white sneakers- they can work for petites.
How do you manage to keep nude boots clean? đđđ Here it rains almost always in the cold period
Very true! I got a suede cleaning kit from my local shoe store and they work well!
Lovely woman đ„°
I do not know anyone who wears peep-toe shoes. You will have to buy wide toe shoes because that will be all the stores will sell and comfort will make more people buy wide toe shows.
Tall boots in the Summer? I'd die from heat stroke. I live in the South. Sandals only in the Summer. Unless I'm riding my motorcycle đ
Am short cant Wear heels too back pain so whay to dođ
Hello, Ezekiel! You can wear flats! âșïž I recommend you watch this video â€ïž m.czcams.com/video/wqRdMrXLy9E/video.html
â€ïžđ
if the shoes are not comfortable could be designer and on fashion rules.most important condition.
Pointy shoe shape are super uncomfortable! I prefer my shorter legs đ
But, Chi, my feet aren't pointy shape so they don't fit in them correctly đ„Ž
Oh I'm sorry to hear that...
