I like how she doesn't waste time and talk to the point
-
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
-
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.

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! 🙏
-
As a short girl, I really like the fact that I don't like any of the iteams I should avoid. 🤣
-
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.
-
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✨✊
-
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!
-
She should do audible readings. Her voice is so soothing
-
Love how she considers other body types and not just short and skinny
-
Great tips..as a short female, need all the tips I can get to make myself look visually taller. Also love the fact that you go straight to the point…instead of fluffing around for 5 min.
-
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!
-
I wont buy low rise ever again. Doesnt matter if they come back in fashion or not 🤣
-
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!
-
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.
-
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 🥰
-
I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one with this body shape... 😭
-
Even if I do this, my legs are thicc and still can’t look longer. 🤣
-
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
