  • The "on the knee" trend is unnessecary to bring up because we all shorties know that the skirts will end up below anyway XD

  • I’m petite 5’1 and I completely agree with the big bags-will be wearing small bags forever. I prefer midi, mini, and maxi skirts instead of right at the knee. I disagree on oversized everything. I do love when there is a contrast such as tight top loose pants but I also love just baggy everything. It’s just so comfortable and looks cool not always in the mood to look taller or whatever.

    • Agree! I'm 5' on the dot and most of the trends outlined here can be a bit hard to pull off as a petite, but the oversized everything look comes down to energy! You've gotta own the vibe this chic "cool careless" look is asking for. I actually tend to feel taller and leaner when I throw on an oversized top and bottom and sleek strappies or super cute shoes.

    • I’m petite but love wearing oversized on oversized, something i find that helps to even out proportions is by having higher waisted pants, and trying to “crop” the oversized shirt/sweater by tucking it into the waistband, or buying a baggy but cropped too to begin with!

    • I live in Australia and recently got back from Japan for the first time. The fashion there is beautiful! Even when people are dressing casually, there is something innately stylish and purposeful. It was also the first time where I could actually buy clothes that fit me as a shortie (5ft) and when over sized fits ACTUALLY fit me, and doesn’t eat me up.

  • i’ve been reading blogs on how to wear skirts as a short woman after watching this. (i’m 4’11 and petite) and they’re like “stay away from tiered skirts”.. i began to sweat while looking at my more than 5 tiered skirts. i own more than 20 skirts from all lengths and most of them doesn’t work for me according to the blogs 😅 i personally prefer “mori kei” style which is basically layered, loose, feminine. sometimes i feel like a hanger… but a pretty and comfy hanger when i wear that style 😂

  • I’m a few inches shorter than you and totally agree about the bags and skirts but nothing is going to make me look taller, thinner or younger (77). I love full , flair pants so I just go with it and smile. My body want nothing to do with heals, so I go with loafers, trainers and flats. You are adorable and give good recommendations and I enjoy you site. Never underestimate the value of youth and health, both are transient. Blessings.

  • Bethany, I never thought I’d find anything to flatter my petite and inverted triangle shape, but you’ve taught me it’s all about the cut and quality of the clothing that can make all the difference. I can’t tell you how many compliments I get on my outfits now and it’s such a confidence booster. People always ask me where I get my hats too, and it always reminds me of you. Thank you for being such a positive resource for us short girls, and just a sweet person all around 🥰✨

  • Great video as always, Bethany! As someone who is barely 5’1” & very slender, I have had to avoid certain looks or trends & only adopt styles that look proportionate to my tiny frame. Some of my favorite styles to wear is 1. high waisted jeans, 2. v-neck tops, 3. fitted, tailored looks (can be paired with something “roomy” without being oversized), 4. Small bags, usually between 8-11 inches wide, 5. Belting my outfits to accentuate my waist, 6. Never wearing pants, skirts, dresses, jumpsuits that “cut me off” right below the knee or at the widest part of my calf, & 7. Wearing shoes that match my legs (black only with black tights, beige shoes when my leg is bare, etc).

I never reached 5' but with age, I've already started shrinking. I don't really pay attention to trends because trends are only temporary until the next trend. I prefer style because you can build on that. Love you, Bethany. 🥰 XOXO

  • i'm 5'2 and i think i just found out what my style is. i was kinda nervous when you mentioned wide leg pants but luckily, i'm wearing it the right way. i really like wide leg pants (not too wide tho and definitely not flared) with a crop top. i once owned a lot of skinny jeans but as i started gaining weight, it doesn't look good on me. my body shape (inverted triangle) is also becoming a factor. when loose/wide leg pants became a trend, i found myself looking better. but i also started checking the length of the tops that i buy to make sure that they don't go beyond my belly button. i also avoid oversized tops or one with a shoulder line that measure beyond mine. i'm being more aware of the fitting of my clothes now. it's not just about the design nor trend.
