What is the Art of Personal Style about?
Hi.. May I know what your jeans size?
I like how she doesn't waste time and talk to the point
I enjoy her calm voice. She speaks clearly and with confidence. I also enjoy the photo and video examples of what she is discussing.
She showed fashion more than her face while talking...👍👍👍

Same
I thought the same! I'm tired of KZheadrs spending 5 minutes talking about themselves! Get to the point. I'm sorry, ain't got time for that, I literally watched this whilst just heading out to the gym! This is the kinda content I need. Short, sharp, concise. Well Done!!!
Trust me, when I started wearing high rise jeans I felt more confident than ever. Seriously I'll never reach for low rise ever again
Exactly the same as me. I hated jeans as a teen then I realised it was just the fit and type
Sameeeee
Same here
Same here!
Same with me. It really helps.
**sees the words short legs and things to avoid** Aight, I have been summoned
Avoid: -Getting chased -PE
Same😂
😂me too
I love the advice to ignore fashion trends if they do not suit your body type. This is why the Gen Z destruction of skinny jeans was something I completely ignored. If it looks good, it will never go completely out of style, particularly when paired with in-season trends or simply classic looks.
😊
As a short girl, I really like the fact that I don't like any of the iteams I should avoid. 🤣
haha perfect!
Very probably because it fit us horrible 😂😂
@@bethanyleonardo please provide link of that black maxi dress
Exactly😆
Exactly. 😂🤝 We tried them and saw that they don't fit us that's why we don't like them
I swear to god petite ppl needs more recognition in the fashion industry, I always have to get my pants tailored so it suits my waist AND my length at the same time. I can never find a perfect pants.
fr!! I have a pair of stunning high waisted flairs that I can only wear with heels or they drag on the floor :/
and i’m on the taller side (and i’m not THAT tall) and i have to buy my pants and some skirts in the “tall” section otherwise nothing fits 😥
Petite girls need representation!! I'm 5'3 and growing up, every single pair of pants I owned would get holes at the ankles because they would drag on the ground.
@@ThePumpingiron27 im also 5'3 and this is the exact reason i only ever wear/wore skinny jeans. they bunch up at the ankles so i don't have to cuff or hem them lol
@@ThePumpingiron27 they really do!!! i’m 4’10 and one of my favorite style of pants are flared jeans and i can’t find any that fit me that is not in the kids section
I’m 5’8” w/short legs & long torso.. I’ve struggled for years to figure this out. These simple tips are life-changing! Thank you! 🙏
Wooow...i am 5" 3
Am 5'0"
😆I'm 5"1
Nooo ur nt🤭, im 5'0
lmao yeah im 5'0
I like how she says the actual things we need to know and not the obvious thing other people keeps telling. This is the first time I realized I can look hella fine and not just sit in the corner wearing clothes which doesn't fit. Thanks a lot lady✨✊
She should do audible readings. Her voice is so soothing
Dream job :)
@@bethanyleonardo you should! we'll support ü :)))
@@uhmokay5995 yessssss
Really, I was gonna say something about it right after I clicked on the vid
I agree 👌🏽
Love how she considers other body types and not just short and skinny
666 likes ain’t ruining that
👏👏👏👏👏 I am 5ft1&1/2 and weigh 175lbs after weighing 110lbs until my 20s, 140lbs after my first 2 kids, and now I'm stuck at 175 after my 3rd C-section 2yrs ago and my body is just not the same. It's been really hard to adjust and to see myself clearly and to know what to wear and how to dress for this new horrific shape. This video helped me within literal seconds, I'm about to go watch her other vids and probably subscribe - straightforward, adult, inclusive, to the point
Don't know how I ended up here, and I have zero interest in clothes. However, need to appreciate this video - probably one of the most to-the-point videos I've seen on YT ever. No nonsense, factual and explaining. And a very pleasant voice!
At 5' 2", all sound advice!!! Thank you! I have been doing all of what you suggested, for years! Thanks for explaining why they work! One more thing I might add, is for petite women to stay away from outfits with large patterns and prints, especially florals!
Can you please elaborate?
@@clarissaperez5849large patterns - the pattern will look bigger and you (the wearer) will look smaller
I wont buy low rise ever again. Doesnt matter if they come back in fashion or not 🤣
right💀
I own 4 jeans that are low waist...but last year I purchased one high waisted jeans and since then I haven't wore my other 4 ones 😂 *crying in loss of money
@@bansikasinha6020 you can resell them in threft shop or donate them :)
I have small waist so low rise makes me feel very uncomfortable. High rise pants gives that perfect grip to my waist so yeah, will never ever go back to low rise cutting
They’re back
So excited to finally find someone else with short legs and a long torso!! So many people I watch for fashion (or just in general) mention having long legs and a short torso so it’s really nice to see a body shape like mine represented here!
I have it too!
I’m the same! This is so handy
Me too! I would love any suggestions for one piece bathing suits for long torsos!
@@katiehicks9920 strapless, one shoulder, deep V- and if you have a small waist and round hips, a high cut leg helps
Same here!!!
I’m long legged, but the tips you give still work with my wardrobe! Like you I’m pear shaped, and the high waist/empire waist garments draw attention away from my ‘hot zones’ and actually emphasize the length of my legs 🥰
Thanks for this! I find it so annoying when some people get mad at people who give advice on what different body types should wear. Because yeah, of course we can all wear whatever we want, but some of us want to wear the things that will look best to the human eye on our proportions. There's nothing wrong with picking clothing types that complement our body types.
Even if I do this, my legs are thicc and still can’t look longer. 🤣
i felt that 🙏🏼
Same
Same
I feel you sis
Feel
I lived through low rise pants in the early 2000s--NEVER AGAIN haha. Long live high rise pants!
Pls.. make video on short and staut women...which dress suits the best.. 5ft.. and less..
@White Rabbit I like girls in low rise pants. What's the big deal?
I’m petite and used to wear low rise flared jeans in high school back in early 2000s. Tried a pair on recently since it’s the trend and oh my looks so weird 😂
Omg, me too! This WAS after the heady 502 high waisted heights of the 90s... but still... very low rise was IT ...and embarrassingly i have a long torso too. Bonita high waist or Mid rise ONLY
Manse 🙌
I am so glad I found you today! Finally, someone with the same body shape and similar height!! Thank you this is very helpful :) I've been doing myself injustice these past few years.
I'm 5"6 so not petite but I love your tips about body proportions because we have such similar bodies. I also have short legs, long torso, a pear shaped body with thick thighs and large hips. I love my body but I hate my short calves. Your tips are really helpful
I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one with this body shape... 😭
I feel u😞😞😞
yes!
You are never the only one 😉
Same 😭
Same.
Finally found a youtuber whom I have similar body shape! Long torso, short legged, pear shaped. 😅 Thank you for this! ❤️
me too! i’ve found my people ☺️
yes!! finally
Can I join u guys?👉👈
Yesss!! Same!
Just so you know, it's really helpful! AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT! ❤️
I love how she just got to the point and the video was so simple and small not like the other videos they were 10-15 minutes long and a 3 minute long intro, thanks for making such a great video and I hope I can’t take ur advice and finally look tall in jeans
I’m 5’3” and I’ve naturally been following these tips! You are spot on-these styles really don’t suit me. The low rise Jean thing I hated! Especially because everyone’s buttcrack was on display every time we bent over.
I'm also 5'3" 😞
I'm 4'7
I wish I could be 5'3"......
Dont forget your 6 inch heels :)
Ya, i hate seeing buttcracks through those low waisted pants. 😆😆😆
At 5’7” I usually surprise people who think I’m 5’10” because of my long torso. These tips are very helpful because my legs are shorter compared to the rest of my body
Wearing 6 inch heels would compliment your sexy legs:)
Same here
People always think I am much taller because I sit up straight with my long torso.
Me too
Thank you for always posting videos that are straight to the point!! ❤️ I hope all is well with you!
Like others have said, I really love how your videos can be watched in short bites and am so happy you didn't add distracting music like other channels
I am a short legs, long torso woman as well. I'm glad that I was already following most of the rules in this video. I absolutely hate low rise. One: makes legs look short. Two: I have a big butt and they give me that gap in the back where it shows my butt crack. So, low rise trend will never come back into my wardrobe.
You probably have exactly the body type I have. There's no way I'll ever wear low rise again! They're so unflattering on me....also nobody needs to see my ass crack 😂
OMG I'm swearing by this channel. Who else here is binge-watching Dearly Bethany? She is so warm and I love the aesthetic ❤️
🤗💛
Ahhh,thanks so much for this.You have no idea how much this helps me,I'm 5ft even and I've always felt conscious about my short legs.
I’m petite so it’s so helpful with all your tips and especially having you demonstrating what to wear . Thank you 😘
I'm 4'11" _everything_ is short But, mid rise is best for me. The high rise makes me resemble Steve Urkle since my torso is as small as my fist.... Thanks for all the tips!
Can relate ❤️
Like seriously, each time I think my high rise jeans look good on me I forget and see in the photos my body looks like a short chunk with no torso and I’m like. Wooooooww eeewww why can’t I have a longer torso so my shoulder and hips would look great and not attached into one😑
me too. Short legs and short torso.
Can literally relate to you I am 4'11 too😂
I am 4 ‘11 too
The one thing about clothes that I learned from having short legs is high-waisted everything. And I'm not even short, I'm 5'6, just proportionally my torso is quite long. This video will be interesting to discover any new tips :)
You just 5'6? While I am just 150cm since I was 12 years old :)
You just 5'6? While me 4'3, 29 years old 😁
All you need to do is wear 6 inch heels:)
@@jtbaby31 ohmygoddd u r soo cute. I am 4' 11 at 25 years old
I'm 5' 8.5", so slightly above average height, but still have a slightly disproportionately long torso. It runs in my mom's side of the family
The way she styled all her outfits are amazing... So pretty. Thank you for this amazing video 🤩
I am sooooo happy I found this, I'm 5'2 & I have a longer torso & shorter legs as well. Never hear too many talk about that body type so I'm here for it gurl 🥰
Love her voice, so soothing, and she goes straight to the point.
I loveee the fact that you’re pear-shaped! I needed this so much in my life, I find that a lot of people I see online have a different body shape and it is hard to emulate some styles if when I try them I end up looking awful
I LOVE the way she goes straight to the point. I absolutely love a tunic and I would not be caught dead in an empire waist ANYTHING.
I'll soon be announcing something I've been working on pretty much exclusively the first half of this year. Click the bell icon to make sure you don't miss the news! 💛
Can't wait
How exciting!! Eagerly awaiting this announcement :)
exciting! so curious now
Please do a light minimal make-up tutorial. 🙏🏻 💖 Lot's of love from India. 🇮🇳
Exciting! 🥰
adored this video, the way you pair fabrics and textures is so unique!
Love it! Short and to the point. Without rambling too much 😘
Thank you! I guess I’m not “petite”, as I’m 5’6”, but I have short legs and a long torso, which makes it very hard for me to find clothing that doesn’t make my legs look even shorter and elongate my torso more. High-waisted everything is such a lifesaver!
Been a subscriber since Bethany has only got less than 100k subs now I’m so amazed how she really grew her channel 🥰 i love her advices as a petite lady. I learned a lot and changed my style to even better ❤️❤️❤️
I’m loving the content Bethany! Your tips are actually useful for a petite person like me and have been able to implement it into my wardrobe. An icon!
Thanks friend! So glad it's helpful 💛
Bethany -- I'm not a petit gal, but I was interested in your style perspective and clicked on your video ! Wanted to let you know your set/desk styling is one of the best I've seen on KZhead ....and.... you are lovely, soft yet well spoken, and the video was the perfect length time. Great work Lady !
That's helpful. I always felt I'm going against the trend by wearing high rise jeans but thanks to you, now I feel more confident 🤗
It’s funny : i do not have short legs, but nevertheless, I listened until the end, because you explain so well and add very convincing pictures. Weil done !
Glad this popped up in our recommendations (this is a shared account). My mother has the exact same issue (e.g. short/petite, with shorter legs but long torso) and has always had a hard time trying to find clothes and shoes (always with heels, of course) that would flatter her build, since everything these days seems to be made for tall people, but she always asks for my opinion whenever she buys herself new outfits and I never know what to say. I'll definitely have to show her this video. Thanks.
I felt so lost in the early 2000s with the low rise, even when I was so skinny! I love this so much.
Where have you been all my life? Seriously I sooooooo appreciate you! Thank you. THANK YOU!
i'm so glad that most of the suggestions are things i already enjoy wearing!
I'm also a fan of high-waisted pants because I'm only 5'3. Thank you for making this video, it's very helpful 😁❤
What? That’s still tall😭😭
@@shreekim942 But I look small because I'm thin. If you will see my photo you will know.
Love the tips! Straight and to the point! Very helpful!
Thank you so much, Bethany! I had been doing some of your tips for a long time, but I learned new ones too!
Oh this is so helpful! I do have shorter legs and longer torso. I do realized that I look better in an empire waist or higher waisted dress. The same with jeans. Thank you for this video!
She looks so aesthetic... Love her and her personality... 💛
I really like your personality and demeanor. There are so many fashion KZheadrs who I watch one video of and can barely stand them. But you got straight to the point and gave helpful advice and didn’t spend a ton of time talking about yourself or why you havent posted when I have no idea who you are lol will be watching more and subscribing!
That fact that you got right to the point, were very sincere and gave grate tips made me have to subscribe ❤
This content is such a great match for my body type, and, oh my gosh! I so love the texture and timbre of your voice 🥰
Your voice is probably the sweetest and the softest I have heard my entire life. I just subscribed your channel because I want to hear more from you lol.
To the point and short. Thank you Bethany!!! 😊
I’m fairly tall and have long legs but many of your tricks/tips are useful for me as well, so thank you! Plus listening to you speaking is a real joy, you’re so relaxing ☺️ subscribed!
I avoid capris length and i never wear shorts unless they're short dress shorts with nice stockings and dainty pointy shoes. Thank you for those great tips for what to avoid!
Shorts makes your legs look longer tho
@@kpopworld8974 It actually depends on the length of the shorts. Short-legged people, me included, can go for boy or Jamaican shorts or full-length pants. Everything else in between will not work well.
This is such great advice! As a short person with stubby legs and a wicked long torso, this is so helpful. Some of these I'd figured out for myself but others were new. (And sorry not sorry, not giving up tunics. Especially during WFH! LOL) Thanks for great, quick, actually USEFUL content!
it really helps me! i have short legs and long torso. im 27 and still figuring out how to look good in photos with my short legs! now i know what to buy in clothes, thank you!!! bless you!
I'm literally watching this just for my friend! So she van be confident whenever I'm with her or when we take pictures.🥺❤️
Aww, so sweet of u❤
Being 5’1, 7/8 leggings are a lifesaver! They’re always the perfect length!
You should wear a minimum of a 6 inch heel with your outfits:)
I’m pretty petite and have the shortest attention span known to man, your video really hits all the right points for me in pacing and helpfulness!!! Absolutely subscribing =) 💖 Thanks so much girl!
I don't know how KZhead knew to recommend this to me 1 year after it was posted, but it is so spot on 🤣😂 Very helpful, thank-you! There's always been clothes I liked but when I try them on they were so unflattering. Now I can apply this knowledge💪
This video made me realize i have been doing almost the right thing till now. Thanks!❤
What a beautiful video. Your voice is à therapy, for real it’s so relaxing.
Thanks for this. Love that you always get to the point with your vids.
I agree with you.same here, I always cancel before going anywhere coz of my short legs.thank you for such an encouraging video to me.👍🏻
I literally learned how to dress from you! I never knew any of these things before I found you on KZhead! So 🙏 I’m 5’2” and u have opened up a whole new world for me♥️
YOU HAVE MY BODY SHAPE AND THE SAME HEIGHT OMG! I'M SO THANKFUL FOR FINDING YOU!😭😭😭
What is her height 😅?
Yup alllll of these are 💯 accurate. I have noticed that I looks wayy shorter when I do the things she tells not to do. Good to know I'm on the right track. Don't succumb to trends just wear what looks good on you based on your body type.❤️
I am so happy I found you!! Luving your videos
Loved how you went straight to the point plus explained everything so well! You got a new sub ♥
I love that she mentioned inverted triangle shapes😭💕
My gosh, can I say your voice is soothing to listen to! Thank you for the tips
I’m so glad I got the recommendation from KZhead. I’m 5ft barely 😥 n I need to hear style advice from someone who understands 🙏🏻
Your last monochrome outfit looks really great on you !! Love those textures, colors and accessories
I have short legs and a long torso so this advice is essential!! Great video.
Your calmness and being concise is so professional and classy!!!! Arghh! Luv from Philippines!
This is so helpful. I also have a long torso, and I've already figured out some of your tips by myself but I learned some more. Thanks much!
This is quality content!! Love the comparisons and examples shown, Bethany! Could you do a video showing some chic outfits for home-wear and lounging around the house? It would be so cool to see that.
5s in and I'm in love with you. I've been trying so hard to hide my body because I also have short legs. I'm not happy with that fact. But you make me feel more confident so thank you so much. BTW, you look great in those outfits
I can't imagine anything more helpful than what I just watched. Thank you so much for such great information spoken so well.
This is the first video of yours that I watched and honestly, it's so comfortable to watch. Your voice is clear, smooth and easy to follow. Your intro is straightforward. And the content is well made with clear examples. I like it ❤️ thank you.
Hello pretty How are you doing?
@@warderic3560 ko s.mekeeuuw
Same! :)
This is so helpful, and straightforward. I love it.
I agree with everything! As a short leg woman myself, I always wear high waist pants/skirts with crop tops.
Straight to the point. Clear and Concise. Kudos!
Loved the fashion tips especially since I'm petite but more on the curvy side! Will definitely be checking some of your other fashion videos :)
I have the same body type and height and these videos are very helpful. I've followed her style tips for a couple of years now and so far I've received incredible feedback. ❤❤❤
Your voice is so soothing I could listen for hours :)
She is very calm and looks like actress too.
So helpful, thanks for an amazing video. Btw I love your voice 🥰✨
Loving this filming set up!
