"There is nothing good or bad, or right or wrong about our bodies. They just are." Probably going to be a quote I try and work into my everyday affirmations. Beautifully said.

[@octopus8902]

Yesss because bodies were never meant to be beautiful, as long as you are healthy that is everything that matters and of cours everyone has just different bodies

[@ajiaprilsongs6022]

Asia, as a 41 year old who continues to stick to office/ boring wear and not explore more fashionable choices because I do not feel I look great in them, this is mind blowing. Narrow hips, no butt, but long torso, with a slightly wider shoulders, I now have a better idea on what to try next time when I buy clothes. THANK YOU!

[@recoveringsoul755]

That's me too and no pinched in waist. It's honestly easier to buy mens jeans and long sleeved shirts. Women's shirts aren't long enough to teach my wrists or even to tuck in

[@KateLate____]

This is so interesting to read as I'm the complete opposite body shape to you (39yo, 83kg, pear with big bust, waist is best feature). Interesting to hear everyone has struggles!

[@astrxxnamu]

Awe omg this sounds so similar to me!

[@twocancan]

love to hear the **body neutrality** in this video. knowledge is power! the key to being sustainable and buying less in fashion is being able to pinpoint and only buy pieces that work for you instead of buying a bunch of things and being dissatisfied with all of them because they don't fit you're proportions, prompting you to try to buy your way out of dissatisfaction and insecurity

[@abigailtrachtenberg9662]

This is literally exactly what I needed. I really wanted to buy some new clothes and this helps so so so much thank you!! As someone who does not love my body, I have slowly realized that giving yourself outfits that look good on you and clothes that actually fit you really do a number for your mental health. I would try and force myself into clothes that just didnt look good (which has nothing to do with my weight or my beauty), but my body type!! This video is perfect, and teaches just that. Clothes are meant to make you feel good. If they are not doing that, you have the wrong clothes!!! All bodies are beautiful. Sending much love and thanks!!!

[@pamesant07]

[@tagtraumerin5077]

I love that you talked about the pelvic tilt. I’m not even working at a desk job but still have it. I realised it after a few months in the gym because it caused back issues. To get rid of it, you have to strengthen your glute and abdominal muscles and stretch your lower back and hip stretcher.

[@iamsomeone8266]

its hard to say if i have it but as an artist who sits for 10hrs each day, i also may have this

[@antidelusionalpeeps]

@@iamsomeone8266 Lie down on the floor and you'll know if you have a pelvic tilt or not

[@ela-cu8bw]

This made me think of the sisterhood of the traveling pants and how it really must’ve been magic for it to fit ALL of them perfectly

[@jenniferdasilva1071]

I just did that hand- over- hand-under bust- torso- test… while I was watching this video in bed rn and YALL, I thought I randomly had a long torso for like 4 whole seconds and then remember my proportions are way off cuz I’m pregnant and did not account for the curvature of my pregnant ass belly. #currentlyweakasf 🤣😭🤣 LMAOOO

[@Jeshiae]

I laughed when reading this, so thanks for sharing 😅😂

[@rositasouza1216]

Literally laughed out loud 😂 I’m not the only pregnant lady here! Congrats!

[@TheMariaBonita]

Coming from a "buy one number smaller so you can aim to fit in it " household, this means so so so much to me. I always had this curiosity because I could never tell which body type I am on those "hourglass, pear, rectangle" quizzes and this is some amazing info for people who just don't have a super defined type of body. Tysm ❣️

[@Thepc425]

I always bought a size larger since I was 15 thinking it’s what happens to all women, you just grow fat with age and the day never came, subconsciously still doing it 🙃😂

[@stellamae1825]

Girl you have no idea how helpful you are. I've been thinking about a lot of these topics recently but you described and actually put it into words perfectly. Everyone should know this!

[@Jeshiae]

I love the fact that someone is doing this without defaulting to using the Kibbe system --- I've often used similar proportion-related language to describe how I put outfits together to other people. Once you understand your body, it is sooo much more fun to play with silhoettes and effects. For example, I have broad, muscular shoulders, which people often try to balance or minimize, but I've started really like that part of my body, so I wear things to emphasize that, which ends up giving a bit of a "power" aura that hardens my baby face a tad lol

[@Alani9669]

What's wrong with Kibbe system?

[@ferrin6326]

​@@Alani9669there's nothing wrong with it, but it's more abstract. You can explain concepts of softness, angularity, emphasis, etc without the language provided by the kibbe body type system - and language unburdened by that also makes these concepts easier to understand, in my opinion.

[@howtouzi]

@@Alani9669 it does not feature current bodies. Only shows 50s models

[@nanettelui2034]

as someone with a short torso, wider shoulders than hips, and long legs and arms, it’s nice to see some representation from u lol. i really appreciate how u emphasize how there isn’t a good or bad body type. i’ve felt so insecure about where i’m lacking and how my stomach area will never look the same as the girls i see in media. + i also love how eloquently you speak about things ~

[@amandaamanda5398]

Ι have a colleague who has an exceptionally long torso and short legs. She doesn't try to hide it. Instead, she has all her pants tailored to emphasize her slender, long waist. Gee, the effect is phenomenal. You'd notice her beautiful, elegant long waist from 100 yards away. Of course you notice her short legs too, but you immediately forget about it, because the slender, graceful waist becomes something that defines her in your mind. So thank you for making this video to help us learn how to dress for our body shapes. I'd go a step further to say that, do not feel ashamed for your natural shape and try very hard to compensate it. You'd lose who you are along the way. Instead, focus on creating a personal vibe and dress to emphasize your strength, because that's what defines you and impresses people.

[@hipnhappenin]

5:51 Yes girl yes!!! I always wondered why people thought I was 3 inches taller than I actually am.

[@Isabel-pu1ir]

This video gave me a whole new perspective on how to dress myself. As someone who has had a significant amount of weight gain I’ve really strayed from dressing how I want to because I think I’m not “skinny” enough to pull off an outfit. This video was really an eye opener and I’m definitely going to be more conscious about why I choose the clothes I wear!

[@ascende_superius]

Same, tho for my whole life i had some extra weight and always thought everything looks terrible on because I'm not "skinny" enough. But this video is really encouraging ☺️

[@hotdot10]

I had to have a chuckle when my bf walked in while I was watching about lack of representation & he said "how come us men never complain about not seeing male plus size models in the media? I've never seen a male model the same size as me & I don't care" 😂😂😂 bless him ❤

[@veronicagrave159]

That’s true. My husband is in full “dad bod” mode. He doesn’t even care to be validated. Lol

because women are womens biggest haters. Men dont get jealous and bitter if another man has the perfect genetics, they just admire it then move on. I remember when madison beer posted a bikini pic and she got hate from every woman on instagram simply because her body was perfect

[@violaaa3385]

Thank you so much! You are the first person who talks about this topic and manages to not immediately make me feel uncomfortable about my long torso. I actually feel empowered by the fact that I can style my body to lead the attention to my long thinner torso instead of hiding it. I’d love to see separate vids about how you would style the different body proportions (like putting outfits together)🙏🏻 Have a lovely day! ❤

[@littlespacesuit]

Your manner of speaking - both the mindful words you choose, and the range of inflection you employ when speaking - is very soothing and comforting. Such an exceptional video that's as fun to learn from as it is to listen to!

[@NancyOwusuaa]

This feels like a University lecture. Well detailed and carefully explained 👍. Well done. I've learnt alot.

[@TheValenciaMarieShow]

I love how you incorporated a mindfulness approach to understanding emotions behind learning ones body. I’m entering my fashion era where I am learning more about my body and what looks good and what does not and with that it can be overwhelming, so thank you so much for this video!

[@yarior2081]

I am really happy about your introduction around body dysmorphia and keeping this topic a positive experience. This is so valuable and should be part of many more videos of this sort. Thank you!

[@erinmcguire4463]

As someone who grew up with the influences of "beauty" and "acceptable body shapes" of the 80s/90s era, this was so refreshing to watch! I love how you have explained all the elements of different shapes in such a non negative way! I will be watching this again with my pre teen daughter, as this is the kind of thing I want her to grow up understanding - that there is nothing "wrong" with any part of her body, she just needs to be able to understand it and then embrace her own unique shape. Thank you

[@CharliieG88]

Girl, for years I've thought my shoulders are broad and I've just learned they are ok it's just that my hips are more narrow. Your videos have helped me so much, I've had difficulty finding outfit inspiration from people with similar proportions to mine. My hips are narrow, I have a short torso and long legs, I have slightly protruding ribs and not much waist definition. The 2010s effed me up lol, 90s and early 2000s fashion had super flattering styles for me and it was so easy to put together outfits

[@lollol-fb8dq]

Finally a video that perfectly explains how bodies work. Especially thanks for the pelvic tilt thing, I had no idea I had it! No one mentions how anatomy and posture affect how clothes look on a body, Thank you so much!

[@ellenemiliezindy9883]

It's rare for me to see someone with the same type of body as me on social media these days, and it's honestly so nice to be able to relate to an influencer about this kind of stuff.. And the points you made about how working out will never give us girlies with short torsos the same "look" as people with longer torsos - it was definetly something I needed to hear, even tho its pretty self explainatory, but still, it means so much to hear that there's an actual reason for it and not just because I "don't workout enough" or that I need to just "go on a stricter diet" to obtain that result. I feel much more comfortable in my own skin after this vide, so thank you

[@CG-lf8st]

we have the same body proportions! It was so nice and inspiring to hear someone speak confidently about it and take pride in how they dress. Thanks for taking such care with this video to promote healthy mindsets around body image.

[@AsukaAmai]

As a fellow short torso skinny long limbed girl who for a long time thought to have wide shoulders, I am very thankful to you for encouraging us to explore and accept our bodies ❤

[@ArchiesLens]

As someone who thrifts a lot this video is so helpful. 🌸✨

[@user-uq6qr1rm4i]

Thank you for the video! I'm short and curvy, and I learned to accept it. But still sometimes I'm triggered by everyone's obsession of being thin😢 People like you give me hope that things change and that it's ok to be yourself ❤

[@bucky7505]

if anything, i hope you know this helps with my body image. i got this absolutely gorgeous dress from thredup a few years ago, and i hate how awkward it sat on me. but for whatever silly reason, i put the blame on myself as opposed to realizing the dress just needs to be altered. that's no one's fault! knowing that half of the time it's not my thoughts that are correct and that clothes just fit everyone differently gave me such a confidence boost. knowing what shoes go with what length of what specific item you're wearing, ETC, it has helped SO MUCH. thank you

[@benj9380]

4:02 This is the third video that I’ve watched of hers, and it’s funny coz I noticed it last time too, but she says “below” in a very Aussie way😂 It’s very cute coz she sounds very American and bam “belough”😂

Omg, same here. I love how she says it and I'm always anticipating it 😅

[@SandhraKP]

Omg you literally described what issue I had with my posture. The anterior pelvic tilt! 😭😭 I thought my body was just built different and couldn’t do anything, but now I know what to work on!

[@SandhraKP]

And that it is actually built different (short torso gang!)

[@SDivine1111]

Girl thank god I found you. We literally have the same body type. Was told when I was younger that I look like an alien because of my long, thin arms and legs. 😐 People always think I’m super tall because of my leg to torso ratio. But I’m literally 5’2 lol. Binging all your videos now. 🖤🖤🖤

[@lifewithtrenel]

All my life I thought I have a short torso, did the hand over hand method and see now that im actually balanced 🤯

[@manuelaebensberger2326]

if you can bother to take the pic as she described in the video, you can also take your head and measure how many heads long your torso is. It could also be that your rise (=from waist to crotch) is shorter than average which would mean that in total your torso is still 'short'. (Average apparently is 2heads from chin to waist and 1head from waist to crotch) Also if your legs are longer than average then within your body proportions your torso would still be proportionally "short"

[@Study-xx4cu]

I hope we get more on how to style ourselves according to our bodies on your upcoming video 😭💗 ilysm....this is so freaking helpful....i mean girls out there are hating themselves for having certain type of bodies when everything is all just natural....when i first noticed i had a longer torso and short legs....my heart broke fr🤣🤣

[@tsetensherpa4644]

Same I also have same legs and long torso :(

[@ikigaiwarrior]

Tall girl here broad axx shoulders long torso shorter legs but with a short waist if that makes sense. 🤷‍♀️

[@jacarandav]

8:06 this is so important to me, i never realised before just how much i got caught up into this game of choosing the good and bad body parts and finding out just how ‘irregular’ i might look like… it only made me distance myself from finding out my personal style and having fun with clothes and just wearing stuff!! i now realise how liberating it is to just look at your body as a whole and accept it. at the end of the day it’s just your body and you’re gonna be fine.

[@sjahope]

8:12 When you say ‘neither negative nor positive, they just are’ I agree and it’s amazing to hear stuff like that on the internet. I might even go a step further, though. Saying ‘they just are’ makes it sound like it’s a fact, but it’s actually just a comparison, which means it’s an opinion and completely depends on who you’re comparing to. You can’t compare to the whole world because you don’t know more than like 100 ppl at most, and people’s image of an ‘average body’ is probably really distorted. Besides, the average of 0 and 100 is 50, but ‘50’ doesn’t describe either 0 or 100. In that way, everything just is what it is.

[@Val--H]

Understanding nothing about your body is good or bad, but simply is - so important. Body/facial features are simply elements of design that have no inherent positive or negative. Wood isn't better than marble or vice versa. Nor are watercolors better than pastels. It's all about learning the specific qualities they possess and using them to create something interesting and/or beautiful. Discovering that truth really helped me become kind to and accepting/appreciative of my body, as well as put together a wardrobe I feel good about.

[@7250ARI]

Love this!!!! As a psychologist with body issues I loved how you addressed this topic and for once I came out as ok this is my body and not like why is my body like this!

[@loeyanderson]

i'm a teen girl who just starts getting into fashion, 'finding my own style', 'dressing for my body shape', etc. you can't even imagine how much this video helped me ! you surely made me look differently ( in a positive way ofc ! ) at my body, thank you. 💌

[@brireillyyoga]

Thank you for the very informative part 2 and yes please for how to style based on your body type for a part 3 please please and thank you!!!! Also as a fellow short-torso more narrow-hipped person, I rarely see other physiques like that so it was beyond comforting to see you openly share and talk so neutrally about it!! Thanks Asia! 💛🙏🏻

[@triniabbi4539]

I can't believe I only just realized I have a short torso, my body type is just like yours. I've been dieting and working out to achieve a body that's impossible for me, thanks so much for this video you really opened my eyes. Now I'll concentrate on dressing for my body type which is not just tall and skinny but also taking a short torso as a guide. Liked and subscribed 😉👍

[@yessismiles]

This was so great!! Thank you for the tips. I have a follow up video idea lol would you be able to expand on what time of clothes would fit best for long/short torso and legs etc, as a general idea? I appreciate you! 🙏

as a petite girl, with an inverted triangle build...you really help me understand how i can look good with my body type without feeling insecure.

[@sincerelyabu]

I was really hoping you’d make a part two of your last video as it had me pondering about my body proportions. So I’m grateful that I took a lot of insightful information! I’m so thankful you shared the information of shoulders as I would always wonder and get annoyed as to why shoulder bags, relaxed bras and spaghetti straps would ALWAYS fall off me! I thought I was always broad shouldered but it actually doesn’t seem so. I look forward to more helpful fashion videos like this as it’s helping a lot of people like me who want to understand their bodies better!

Thank you! You really helped me finally understand what does it mean to say I have this or that body type. You are amazing at expressing yourself!

[@cynicallemonade1792]

Thanks for explaining the short torso =fat storage on the belly. I have always struggled with that and couldn't work out what I was doing wrong. I feel like this knowledge is life changing for me.

[@aleksandrareena7538]

Great one, thank you. As you said I’ve already had subconscious understanding of my body but didn’t acknowledged consciously that I have a long torso. I used just to think that my legs are short and my bottom is quite too low, which I considered as a big disadvantage since I’m quite tall. Now I’m focused on the fact that long torso can have its benefits It would be also great if you showed an examples of clothing that fits best for these cases, at least in you. Thank you!

[@imansurayaaa]

[@lalalara321]

This is such a wonderful video!! Your careful use of language, effort to make this accessible to all bodies, and encouragement to explore your body is incredibly positive.

[@larissaaguiarsantos4980]

I just loved this video. I've been looking to how to dress better, but no one ever talked about this kind of thing. Now I feel that I can really improve my style, thank youuu

[@tee7105]

This video was so informative and for the longest time because I was a bit taller than average ( 5'7"), I thought my height was the most important, but what you said about proportions makes so much more sense. I get frustrated because I find it so difficult to shop to my proportions. I have a short torso, long legs, a full bust, narrow hips, and slightly broader shoulders. Finding out what looks good has been my struggle for years and I'm in my mid-twenties and still haven't figured it out! It kinda affects my confidence a little because I've sorta given up and just thrown on whatever now even though I don't feel my best.

[@rileygreenn]

ive been hating my body recently and have seen all of those pictures about models with beautiful waists and wanted to look like that... after watching this video though, I've never been told about how torsos made you look and so that section really stuck out to me. i have a short torso and so it makes more sense of why my stomach looks fatter. its not just because I like to eat, its just the way my body is so thank you :)

This video is making me appreciate my body and petite frame. I’ve always had issues with my body, but looking at it this way is eye opening!

I am beginning to explore my relationship with fashion and dressing myself in a way that expresses who I am. Hearing you speak and giving such solid advice makes me feel so much clearer.

I have been so confused as to why and never understood how those two are connected until now and now I feel much more comfortable with how my body looks. So excited to try this myself to finally understand what looks good on me! Thank you for off-stigmatising this difficult subject and making it a safe space to reflect

hello can i ask? so my hip have the same width as my shoulder and my fat mostly around my upper thigh. but my calf is skinny, just like my arm. am i having a short torso or a long torso?

[@billiehicks6587]

You were so thorough. Thanks.

[@mastermindb1057]

As a guy that wants to be better with the clothes I purchase I learned alot from this video!!

[@florence2430]

Wow! I have never felt more comfortable in my body, than after watching this video. It just made me look at my body so differently, not judging the fat in different parts, just realising their proportions. Thank you so so so so much!

[@TaemonRebel0604]

I have came to the conclusion to love my short torso and no definition waist but it is still very hard to find styles that fit me so I get discouraged sometimes. Still trying though! Thanks for the amazing video and insight

[@whithehearthro]

I loved the way you worded everything! I am plus size and I’ve been on a journey with clothes for years! I’ve always been a fashion girl but hated how so many things looked on me. I always thought it was because I was bigger but when I started finding clothes that were cut better for my body I feel in love with myself in them. I am still learning what I like on myself and I am always back and forth about the torso thing… and the broad shoulders thing haha 😂 but I’ll figure it out one of these days.

[@gtanz1]

gurl you look so pretty with short hair! I hope you are having fun figuring out your style!

[@whithehearthro]

@@gtanz1 thank you so much! I’ve had a bad night and your comment made me feel a little better

I really appreciate how you mentioned the pelvic tilt. And the distortions it can cause. Well made video sis, thank you for sharing all of this with us all.

[@carolrosa5314]

Body neutrality for the win!!! Amazing perspective and I hope you get the recognition you deserve ❤

[@tresjms4741]

thank you so much for this video! ive been struggling with accepting that my shoulders were broader than my hips and also that i never actually look slim, even though my weight was healthy. now i understand that it might be because of my torso lenght! you dont really know how much confidence you gave me

[@samanthakim5035]

I have the same type as yours What clothes do you wear nowadays?

[@catalinaledermann]

[@manuelaebensberger2326]

same girl SAME!

[@leahlw2853]

👏👏👏 for the body neutrality and diversity talk, thank you!! Would love to see a series that looks at how to style clothes for bodies that store far in different places, for long torsos, for long vs. short limbs etc. You're so good at explaining this!!

[@marinakesselman9842]

You are just so amazing, talking about such important issues and explaining everything so nicely. Loved the content, so helpful for women (and men) of any age, really!

[@eternity2863]

Clicked for the fashion, found peace with my broad shoulders/long torso/short legged combo eager to restyle some outfits and kept listening in for those cute Aussie accent slurs. And the anterior pelvic tilt tips… thorough and appreciated. Absolutely lovely!! Subscribed! ;P

I’m 44, I’m 5’9” and 130lbs, was a model, on tv and am now a teacher. I have been dress-coded for wearing shorts (while other female teachers get to wear them), have literally been cat-called just this week by a coworker, and am tired of being made to regret dressing appropriately for my body type. It is a shame that women have to struggle so much to feel comfortable and then wait to be “accepted” with respect and dignity. I don’t dress inappropriately, I just have a body type that wears clothing rather well but gets harassed and “flack” for it.

[@user-xx6ud8iq7g]

Hi I have this problem but I’m a different way, I’m a m 5ft 3 very skinny woman, but for some reason I do have a very sharp hips and a large chest for my size. Zero waist though! What looks fine on most looks like inappropriate on me. I was called out as a swimming teaching wearing our actual uniform and thrown a massive T-shirt, while stood next to a shapeless woman wearing the same thing! I wanted to cry. Now I’m a teacher too and just dress frumpy every day. Once as a younger teacher on a dress up day a few of us dressed up as cartoon characters for book day. 3 of us had the same outfit. I was called into the office. I was furious and embarrassed and upset. I cope better now I’m older but as a younger woman I felt so ashamed of my body.

I relate so much 😭😭😭 I grew up in a very controlling religious community and it was absolute hell. No matter how much I covered up and shut up it was never enough because of my body (and red hair). Thankfully I’ve left mentally and emotionally even though I’m still removing myself socially, but idk how I’ll ever undo the damage even though I know it’s not my fault! And I lost my childhood and young adulthood to it, I’ll never get that back. I know my body isn’t more sexual than anyone else’s, people are just brainwashed. They’re probably brainwashed by stuff they see online which is incredibly ironic given how they blamed and shamed me. But I will never be able to forget that that’s how other people see me 😞 Even when it doesn’t come with judgment I’m not a very sexual person so it still makes me really uncomfortable…

Jesus loves you! ❤️ He died to pay for your sins so that you can be forgiven and be free! God will never abandon you, he is always waiting to forgive you, you are never too far away! ❤️ In Christ you will find true healing, peace, security, identity and love! ❤️ Seek God! He is calling out to you!

[@kingagrochowiec4712]

really eye-opening, refreshing perspective on non-judgmental body assessment and your sense of humor/energy just made my day ! :) thank you Asia!

[@aubigney]

as a curvy girlie, i appreciate the way you talk about different bodies. as someone with a short torso... i'm still coming to terms with it
