    Chi, another excellent video! I love skirts, and midi are my favorite. They are elegant and comfortable. I live in Houston. Spring has been here for a while , sometimes it is a little chilly in the mornings. I have been wearing midi dresses and skirts non-stop the last few weeks. They are perfect for transitional season , can be paired with thin sweaters with boots, or blouse/t-shirt with sandals depending on the weather. Really versatile. All your tips are very effective. I have been using them all the time.

    Pant suits in bright or pastel colors are really in style this spring...would love to see you do a petite styling video. Also I wear high low (high in front, descending to back) curve fitting evening dresses and I am finding that elongates my already long petite frame legs. Love your midi styling idea of matching shoes Chi. I am receiving a lot of compliments since I started "Chi Styling" my clothes!💜💚♥️💙

      Same principle with pant suits, buy a shorter jacket

  • @kimberlyperrotis8962

    Great tips as always, Chi. My favorite skirt length is just covering the kneecap, so the skirt ends at the narrowest place above the ankle. As I’m only 5’4”, this length is hard to find. I’ll shorten good-quality, keep-forever skirts, but a lot of mine, like from H&M, just aren’t worth it, it doubles the cost. So, I try to wear them with the highest heels I can stand, under 3”. I love the short jacket idea and I always tuck in my tops, although my tummy is far from slim. Tops worn outside do look frumpy, always, and ruin the proportions.

    Thank You Chi , you are the best . I’ve given up with avoiding midis , most dresses I love are midi length . Luckily I don’t have muscular calves , heels sure help . Yes to shorter jackets , unfortunately long over sized blazers and jackets are the look right now . I’m resisting buying them xxx

    I don't typically comment on UA-cam videos, but this was extremely helpful! I'm trying to find something nice for my engagement shoot. Being 5'0", I always thought I had to pick a skirt that is above my knee to elongate my legs. However, all I found were midi skirts and I didn't know what to do! This video helped educate me on picking the best midi skirt. Thank you!!!

    I have always felt that a length that falls to the just above my ankle is most flattering and comfortable. I abhor lengths that hit mid calf, although they are comfortable. Another style I feel is flattering, is the silk wrap skirt because it flutters and draws attention down because of movement.

    Quite right on the short jacket! Worn a midi pleated skirt with a biker leather jacket and it rocked! Unfortunately, I am no longer my slim self and have been having a hard time trying to adjust, but I've found that loose clothes are not flattering, so cinch that waist. Also, the right bra size is very important, keep those girls up and proud. Cinching, tucking and wearing tops that fall on the waist, will elongate the legs. Love your tips, they are easy to follow and effective

    The side by side images are brilliant Chi, an immediate visual that helps you see what a difference a shorter or tucked in top can make. Would a cropped jacket work for an hourglass with defined hips?

I have a top that’s almost exactly the same color. It blends nicely with it it’s a warm color neutral. I am 66 and never want to look Frumpy.

  • @bookwormbon482
    @bookwormbon482 2 роки тому

    Any tips on how to style pencil skirts that are too long? I don't want to roll it over because it will add bulk to my waist (I'm an hourglass). There are pockets (the company is called snag tights) so I think it would look strange shortened. And I have pulled it right to the top of my torso. Maybe adding a slit. Or would that look odd for pencil skirts?
