    Indeed excellent tips!! I am 5'2" with a long and slim neck, and a V-neck top would theoretically make it disproportionately longer and slimmer - however, looking at the overall picture, it does make my entire figure taller.
    One thing, though: 6:14 When the temperature is lower and I need a jacket or a coat, the first thing I want to cover against cold is my neck and cleavage, I rarely wear any coat or jacket open like these in the pictures.

Also, not all this advice works for plus-size women.

    Yours is one of the best videos I have seen showing clearly how and why to dress for maximum good looks when having short stature. I am 55 inches tall, so I try to wear tops and bottoms of the same color and basically follow your rules for the best look. I am old though, so I am not as interested in showing my legs and won't be wearing any dresses or skirts with slits in the front, but they are good advice for younger women.

    Really useful and practical tips, thank you. I'm living with a menopause belly at the moment (hopefully temporary), I am 5' 3" and very high waisted. This wasn't such a problem when I was young and slim, as I could show off my waist. Now that my waist is barely there, and I am self conscious about my belly, wearing a belt is really hard for me. The classic look of the gaberdine mack with the belt tied at the waist has never really worked for me as I have such a short waist. I despair at ever finding new silhouettes and structures that work for me. V necks are great though!

  • @KimberlyPerrotis
    @KimberlyPerrotis 4 місяці тому +2

    Excellent tips, as always, Chi. I avoid round/crew necklines as much as I can; a V or other vertical neckline is so much more flattering on my short figure. When the collared, V-neck Polo tops became available again this year, I used these to replace a lot of my plain, crew-neck tees, they’re not only more flattering, they look more polished. Also, I still love matching my skirt/dress/pants, my footwear, and my socks/tights for that lengthening effect. Not just with black, either, I also wear my other basic wardrobe colors like taupe, brown or navy this way. We did this a lot in the 90s and it’s trending again to wear tights in colors other than black, I’ve seen a lot of burgundy or khaki green tights recently, in these trending autumn colors, with matching footwear. I wear dresses or skirt outfits most days, even in winter, so I need a lot of tights and tall boots for cooler weather. I know the “sandwich look” of wearing contrasting (with respect to the trousers) shoes that match the top is trendy, but it’s best on taller women. Keep up the great work, we love your channel❤

    • @basedgenxexpat

    Even though though I’m now slender, I have a softer, fleshier under-chin area, it’s hereditary. I find V-necks and classic pointed collars much more flattering than rounded necklines, they add some much-needed angularity there.

    Your videos are very helpful! I am 5’0” and have short legs even for my height and a longer torso. I have finally embraced wider legged pants and they look so good! I guess I thought they’d make me look wider in general but they don’t. The vertical aspect of them makes me look longer and therefore less wide.

    Swimsuits - I wear modest swimdresses - everything is fully covered (and nothing is typical bathing suite tight) but I get SO MANY COMPLIMENTS because the lines look good. Not saying everyone has to do this, just saying that's what works for me! I'm still looking for a modest v-neckline in a swimsuit BUT so far I'm happy with the ones I have.

    You are my (s)hero! Thank you so much for very simple explanation. My body is hourglass and when I was reading some articles it was only one advice to me "Oh! You are perfect, you can wear everything!". And then I wear turtleneck sweater an wondering how the hell I could get extra kg in a few seconds? :o I want to see all of your materials and learn how to wear properly :D Maybe I will finally discover my style!

    Now that I know i need the V shape, i am going to alter some of my clothes myself! (Skirts, put a slit in them, T-shirts -maybe attempt to creat a v-neckline if the fabric allows)

    I've noticed that V neck looks better on me, but didn't think why, when You showed those tree lines it made sense. Thank you for deeper understanding, great suggestions as always!
