    I'm 4'11 and all this time I assumed only skinny pants was the only style that would be flattering until I saw this video! I stayed away from some of the pant styles you mentioned but you enlightened me. Also, I don't know why they think if you're petite that you also have a tiny waist. We can be short and pudgy also.. LOL! It's just trying to find the right fit in all areas. You have great tips!

    I can see why the green Anne Taylor pants are your favorite. I was about to say something about how great they looked on you before you said they were your faves. I 💚 the whole outfit. So chic

    You are just so knowledgeable Chi. I have many pairs of cigarette pants as they suit my figure. You are 100% correct in saying "choose your footwear carefully" as it can take an outfit from stunning to blah very quickly. I really appreciate you showing all the examples of what works and what doesn't. You take time with your video's to demonstrate what you are talking about and this really helps so much. Thank you wonderful lady 😊 💕

    I have the challenge of being 50/50 on torso to legs length, short waisted, and large breasted, on top of being only 5ft, so pants get pretty careful scrutiny in the dressing room before I buy. Since I know what is not going to work, it's made online shopping for pants easier. A tip if you shop online, and there's no petite length, is to get regular length in ankle pants which may have a hem length closer to your normal petite length

    I'm also petite 5'2''. I find well-tailored tapered pants that fit around the waist and hip such as those from Theory are very flattering with ankle boots. They have such a slimming and elongating effect.

      💐Amy C: Click on her channel. Chi already did a brilliant video 📲 about flats. Thankfully, she has a truly compassionate & understanding approach to styling. Willing to show those of us who can't &/or won't wear heels👠 (or even long pants👖) what adjustments we can make to compensate for it.
      😉She also did one that talks about shoe construction & design. Overall, what vamp styles are more flattering to petites (& those of us like myself w/a long torso who can simply seem like we have 🪵stumpy legs by a poor choice in clothing😂).
      😘 Love a stylist who not only knows all the rules & tricks to suit each figure type & related issue〰️she closely listens👂to the needs & preferences of her followers without shaming. 🤗Her expert knowledge & tutorials make it possible for me to still elongate my frame while wearing my beloved maxi skirts & flats. Yay!🎉.

    Just can't wear high heels like you are wearing.
    I can wear low wedgy shoes (not over 2 inches at the most.)

    🥳Chi: You NEVER disappoint! Your sensational visual styling tutorials & techniques are amongst the BEST of the BEST!
    😖Can't stand the thought of wearing long pants in our hot🌡️climate, esp. jeans of any sort, but I agree with the majority of your suggestions on the subject.
    🤗Being an hourglass, I adore a cinched waist in a trouser. Sadly, you're 💯% right about voluptuous gals skipping the paperbag pant🤣. Although your suggestion to replace the coordinating sash with a similar colored belt is brilliant!
    😉Do like tapered & wide cut legs, but as you said they can be tricky unless you're willing to wear 👢heels👠 of some sort. Absolutely hate the silhouette of those slim fitting bell bottoms that flare below knee🤮.
