Even though you feel we shouldn't wear closed-toe shoes with linen pants, I like and wear low-profile white sneakers with mine and I think they look great.😊
You are so pretty Chi, and so funny1 When you stick out your tummy on purpose we all know you are exaggerating but we all feet that way sometimes. When we have poor posture or slouch for a moment, or just ate, it seems that is when someone takes our picture!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for not trying to be that "perfect" influencer-type. Very sweet.
One irritation with light coloured linen pants is that the pocket linings always show through - no matter how close my panties are to my skin colour. That triple layer of fabric just looks awful. My solution: I sewed the pockets closed and cut off the lining on the edge of that stitching. seldom use the pockets anyway.
Yes! Pockets always look awful on light colored linen pants!
I did that too!
Pockets show on any white pant, regardless of fabric.
The trouble is that the pocket needs to match your skin tone instead of the pants color. They seem to always make the pockets white, which stands out.
omg THANK YOU for acknowledging that elastic pants are just not flattering. I refuse to wear them because my body type just can't handle it, including the elastic waistband in the small of the back.
I am 5-7”. I understand proportions well. I think your tips are great for most women. ❤❤❤ your videos
Brillliant! I've always struggled with linen pants. I'm not petit but am short-waisted and carry my weight in my middle so your tips work sooooo well for me. Thank you!!
The only problem with a belt is I usually wear linen pants when I need to feel cooler. A belt just adds to the heat at your waist, as if that bulky elastic waist doesn’t heat you up enough. I wish they made linen pants with a thin drawstring at the waist and no elastic. I have a very old pair of shorts made this way and they are extremely cool in the hottest weather.
I thought I’d hit the jack pot when I found linen pants with a drawstring. Somehow the darn things just loosen up and start sliding down no matter how tight I tie them. I’m thinking of threading a thin elastic through the waistband.
It is generally not to hard to remove the elastic and change it to a drawstring. If you don't know someone who sews, it is often worth it to take it to a tailor.
@@roadrunnercrazy while I do see, you really only have to use a safety pin and thread an elastic through the waistband. Tie it off at the end and you are good to go. 😊
I love all of these tips. I can't wait to finally look good in linen pants.
Now I understand why i don’t look flattering with linen pants no matter how i want to have them as part of items in my capsule. I’m 5’2 short torso
I love your suggestions, I bought my first linen cream wide leg pants with a matching belt, and I had no idea how to wear them😅. And thank you for the visual ideas
Excellent insightful video as usual! Thanks Chi.
I needed this video. Am short, curvy and love linen
Espadrilles also look great with linen
Great suggestions, I’m definitely going to try the belt and folding the blouse over the elastic. Thank you!
I stumbled across your channel and was immediately positively surprised. Very helpful tips for petite persons, myself included! Also extra points for your practical approach, without any fake enthusiasm or over exaggerated hand gestures. Keep going, I subscribed!
Her personality is so precious!
Excellent video! ♥️ By the way, I love your off the shoulder mint sweater.
Thank you!! This video is soo good!!! Thank you again, keep making your videos!
Not all linen pants are loose. There are some pricey capris (which if short =regular length if your really short😂) and tailored linen trousers.
So timely and helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Li for this useful tips!
Excellent info on linen pants. I hope to get some this summer and you have given me lots of great tips. I think the only thing wrong with the jeans you show in the last minute of this video is that your shirt is too big and needs to be tucked in or exchanged for a more fitted top. It’s not that the jeans themselves are ‘unflattering’ at all.
Thank you Chi. ❤
Love your personality!
Maybe draw string instead of unflattering elastic waist. Closed flap pockets on butt would be great to add volume.
Great tips very informative and really liked ur dark hair
I tried linen pants several times, it is very hard to make it work. I just don't like the shameless feel. With the tips Chi shared, it will help a lot. But I found linen skirts or shorts are so much easier to style
Typo. Shapeless not shameless
@@littlelady7843 LOL. I was thinking, "Is she talking about it not being lined...?"
The elastic of my linen pants never shows, a tucked shirt has a little fabric out that covers it. A leather belt with linen pants in summer seems like an odd combo for the season.
GREAT TIPS!!!❤
OMG i needed this.
👋 Love your Video. And I would love to wear Off the shoulder Tops more often but- how do you make your offshoulder-Tops stay where ithey should be? Mine seem to always slide up and that makes it uncomfortable! Greetings Silvia

I love linen pants, but no elastic waist, just a proper waistband.
I sew all my clothes and every linen fabric I’ve found is so scratchy! I made my husband a linen blend camp shirt and it wrinkled badly. Looked like he slept in it.
I sew my clothes too! There are some very cute linen texture imitations that don't wrinkle as much as real linen. And they are not scratchy. It's nice if you like the look of the linen fabrics.
Agreed about the scratchiness! Why does no one talk about this?
@@littlemom2070Linen gets softer with washing and wearing. I own a lot of linen clothes and it’s been the case the majority of time.
Wrinkles are a hallmark of real linen. Those of us who don't live in an area where real linen is common aren't used to the look. I've been told that the wrinkling gets less as the linen garment is washed more, but I don't know from experience.
I like the black belt too, because you have black Hair! It ist the form I don't like.
I am 4'10", 97 pounds. Is there any way to pad your butt without it being obvious, and not shifting or interfering with sitting?
What about shaper briefs with butt pads sewn in? You'll probably have to buy from a catalog, but they do make such a thing.

Hey I'm 5'2" but I don't consider myself petite, when I try petite pants they are always too short for me, same with blazers and some blouses. I prefer regular size clothes😅
Gotta pay attention to the inseam measurements when you’re buying. Just because it’s petite size, it doesn’t mean the length will be the same as others
5' 2&1/2" here. You probably have long legs and arms. That's my situation, too. I can't buy petite shirts because I need the length in the arms, and I'm right in between regular length and petite length pants most of the time. I wear shoes with a slight heel with regular pants and loafers or sneakers with petite pants. My torso is where I'm short.
@@ellentran96 interesting about the inseam. I learned how to make dresses with lining and cute details but know I want to learn how to make my own pants specifically trousers.
@@edennis8578 I do have long arms but is wierd, I don't consider my self to have long legs but I'm sure I don't have a short torso. My torso is a little bit longer then my mannequin with my same bust, waist and hip measurements.
I cannot wear open toe shoes. Should I avoid linen pants altogether?
I know the feeling. I have toenail fungus, but found something that is helping.
I like to wear my white linen trousers together with a pair of lighter suede loafers with a lower vamp to show more of the foot, or different types of espadrilles, all in lighter colours. I avoid chunkier shoes. So no, you don't need to avoid linen trousers just because you can't wear open-toe shoes.
I wear mine with low-profile white sneakers. It looks great. 👌
@@americafirst9144 closed toe espadrilles match great
🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great tips for us shorter girl! 🤍🤎
Linen = A Massive NO! in my wardrobe. Why ? Because I look like an unmade bed within fifteen minutes of putting it on. I personally do not feel this lends an air of insouciant shabby chicness, especially if you wear it in northern climates like my home country of Canada. I watched this video only because Chi rocks and all her info is on point, even if I don't adopt the look myself.
Linen makes sense in tropical climates, where *everyone* looks like an unmade bed, and no one cares because it's so blinking hot and linen redeems itself for it's breathability. But for the 6 weeks a year where linen is wearable in Canada, the juice is just not worth the squeeze for this fabrication to be part of my life.
Clothes need to pass my personal Crush Test. I grab a garment on the hanger, mash it in my fist and hold for the count of 10. If it bounces back relatively unwrinkled ? it's a winner. Hello to putting the YES ! in polYESter !! and bamboo, we heart you too. Rayon, you are second only to Linen for being a pain in the butt. And uncombed, stiff, cotton or cotton-poplin blends you get 3rd place for Fabrics that Wrinkle like Hell.
Iron ? Ain't Nobody Got Time For That !!!!
I’m in that tropical climate you talk about ( Fl) but still, I can’t make these pants look nice ! They’re so cool and comfortable but I may as well be wearing pajamas! So, not all of us look like unmade beds, btw, haha. I can’t find a top that pulls it all together , sigh…
When you're just trying to survive the heat without passing out, linen pants suddenly make sense. Yeah, in Canada...why bother? Besides, linen just doesn't "go" with the landscape up there.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯
Linen is Nagy so that your skin breaths
Thank you for showing normal body. I love your videos.
