    I hope this video will give you some more clarity to making an instantly better outfit either if you are short or have longer torso. I am just curious, do you think you have short legs / long torso? Have you ever tried to mathematically calculate that? Let’s chat! ❤

      thanks for the video this is what I needed. As you know I am petite woman but I have calculated my body and my legs are proportional to the body. When it comes to your rules I totally agree :) Capri pants I hate them I do not know how I could wear them as a teenager 🤣I have in my wardobe a few low or mid rise pants but I do not wear them at all I try to sell them (I do not feel good wearing them) now I only buy high-waisted trousers. I have a mom jeans and today I bought my first high-rise jeans with straight leg and cant wait to try them on :)

      I do the same thing. I like a style of jeans and buy them from the same vendor on Amazon. They are new “old” stock, I have bought so many pairs amazon alerts me -“You have purchased this 12 times before”. I am still looking for the perfect pair. I recently learned about my long torso so it now makes sense why I like high waisted jeans/ pants I also like monochrome and maybe a short top. I am interesting any more hint you may want to share. I think I might go Jean’s shopping this week.

    Great content! I prefer slim-fit jeans to skinny jeans, but I find it hard to make straight jeans work for me. However, I'm petite with short legs and have a similar approach to dressing. High-waisted jeans, for example, are a no-go; they go up below my ribcage. Better to stick with the waist no more up than the belly button. And dresses, yes, they can work so well to elongate legs. Thanks for sharing, Giedre. :)

      Great to have you here, Mary!🎈 yep, the rise really depends on the individual body proportions and different brands have sligjtly different ‘high rises’ 😂 but definitely we need to stay away from the low-rise bottom pieces in all cases 😅 👯 and so true, a good dress = a good outfit🎈

    You are so good and knowledgeable at styling!! Thank you! However, it is extremely difficult to style apple shape women. The mom jeans does not suit the apple shape. And a shorter top like the one the lovely lady is wearing in your video reveals the tummy bulge which is so unflattering! Please help us apples 😊

    Sadly, i live in a hot summer climate/cold winter..... and skirts and dresses arent always appropriate for the days activity, and capri pants are cooler, more 'modest' than shorts, that just look too casual for work.... so i wish you would have given some styling tips on them anyway 😢😢

    I’m 58. Live in Bluffton/Hilton Head, South Carolina. I don’t like how I look in capris. Yet I keep putting them on Ugh! Sometimes I just don’t want to wear shorts or it’s too cool for shorts or too hot for full length pants/jeans during the day. What type of pants would you recommend when running errands, taking a walk, etc… ?

    • @giedre
      @giedre  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Hi! I get your point here and I would say if you want a lighter version of pants instead of capri pants just opt for a lightweight fabric full lenght pants in linen, viscose blends. Those great alternatives and yet you can still look put together 👯

      ​@@giedre Agree! I live in the hot desert and I love to wear lightweight cotton (poplin, voile) or 100% rayon/ viscose because it feels so breathable. Long linen pants would be a good option to cover the legs, but stay cool.

    I have a question about capris vs. shorts when you are bottom heavy. I am about 5'4" and at least 170 pounds. I also just turned 48. I always shy away from shorts and wear capris but I agree most of the time they do not look great and cut off right at the calf which is not my asset. Would you suggest shorts? I hate sweating all summer and really want to be comfortable. Thank you.

    • @giedre
      @giedre  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Hi! I would opt for full lenght pants in linen or other lightweight and breathable fabric. Pants may have slits at the sides or back. If you want a shorter version bottom piece - try out bermuda shorts around knee area. Another option to consider- lighweight summer dresses like shirt dress with side slits, great for both comfort and flattering look 🎈
