JAYME CYK’S CLOSET REGULARS

Jayme and I met as Teen Vogue interns in 2008 and I am so lucky to have her as a friend.. and she is so lucky to have me to go through her wardrobe (jk!). Jayme has amazing style but often gets stuck wearing the same things over and over again (sound familiar?) or limits herself based on ideas about what is ‘flattering” and what “works for her body”. In this episode we explore a few different proportions that she never considered and make some easy but different looks!
Trigger warning- Jayme talks a bit about her struggle with an eating disorder on this episode.
We chat a bit at the beginning so if you are here for clothes only, skip to 5:07!
Thank you Aaron Vazquez for the amazing editing and Ben Rabb for working the camera!!!

Ugh! I relate to Jayme so much. As a woman who also has wide hips, a booty, and shorter legs, I really struggle also with body image due to things not fitting, or classic fashion not flattering my body type. We love our bodies... we just want clothes to love them too! Thank you for making this video and I really hope you will make more of them like this for us ladies 😍 Jayme looks great in the looks!!

[@mybagoftheday1722]

Allison you have an amazing eye for proportions. The outfits combinations you suggested looked really good on your friend!

[@playtheukulele4flores200]

You have such a kind way of looking at people . In French I would say bienveillance and I can’t find an equivalent in English that fit as perfectly . You really care about people and it shows .

[@AllisonBornstein]

Thank you!!!! That means a lot

[@Frasianfamily]

As somebody with experience in design and production of apparel, I always tell people to ignore the size tag! Washed denim specifically is so inconsistent with sizing due to the wash process. Production more often than not is never on target. So truly, the size tag is meaningless. Wear what fits you and that'll be the most flattering. Also, each denim brand fits on a specific fit model. Even if the models are all the same size, their measurements and weight and muscle distribution are different amongst all the models. You'll never find two models that are exactly the same. If you don't fit a brand, keep trying another. Brands will market their denim as "the perfect fit" but that doesn't exist. Every body is different and there is no "perfect" body. Stretchy fabric may be more accommodating but truly the perfect fit only exists if you happen to have the exact same proportions as that brand's fit model.

[@AllisonBornstein]

YES!!$ it’s so true and so validating to hear from you with that background!!!!

[@Frasianfamily]

@@AllisonBornstein🥰🥰🥰

[@sarahogue]

I’ve always wondered about this… thank you! I’ve tried on so many different brands of jeans & I’ve asked myself many times “in what universe am I a size 0???” 🧐

[@notaclue822]

Is there any way we consumers can find out which companies use which fit models? In general, would high end designers choose tall, thin models and Gap choose a more average build? Some of them cut clothes for long, thin legged women etc. I'd love to know about their fit models.

[@Masterlesta]

Love this video! Also love that she is different body shape to you. It’s great to see styling done on all different sizes. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dilevinvaldez1608]

Love the openness about mental health struggles 🙌 Also I’m obsessed with the Homegirls cropped shirts!

[@KimMayroze]

I liked this format very much. It was personal, relaxed and spot on.

[@squigglethepiglol]

Allison is such a ray of sunshine.

[@squigglethepiglol]

I would love to know where Allison's jacket is from? Gorge

[@notaclue822]

She looks really good in those fitted little tops. It makes the blazers work.

[@karriek2207]

Great video. I like Jayme's clothing style. I think she does look best with the shorter or cropped shirts because it makes her legs look longer. Everything she had was really cute.

[@carolyngibson7723]

Loved this. Great to hear honest conversations about all these issues we deal with! What a lovely friendship too.

[@allisonyoder2266]

I 👏 love 👏 this 👏 channel - ALWAYS gold. Thank you, (fellow) Allison & team ❤️

[@sophiejones7916]

Love Jayme and her honesty and vulnerability. I like the focus on making outfits to make you feel good about yourself

[@laurasandovals]

her honesty is refreshing

[@louisematlock2491]

This was wonderful! So inspired to wear a virtually identical skirt after seeing how great Jayme looked in it.Thank you .

[@jaanaprall9961]

Love this so much! Especially the idea that fashion can be a wellness tool. I think it's an often overlooked part of our everyday which can impact us positively or negatively. Love the honesty and candor from you both here!

[@valhoff3]

I’m SO SO SO glad that you’re doing in-person styling sessions again! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And such important work Jayme & her husband are doing. She looks amazing in the black fitted top and blazer and my other fave is the silk skirt and Totême sweater. ❤️

[@georgiamillar4076]

Allison, thank you so much for this video! This was so powerful, inclusive and helpful. Thank you

[@dcoughla681]

Loved this masterclass video. So full of genius ideas with existing items. I can relate to Jayme & I would not have considered wearing a cropped v neck top but it looked so cool & chic. Please can the networks give Allison a show and the publishers give her a book deal. Long overdue.

[@AllisonBornstein]

lol love you!!!!!!!

[@emma5339]

I love jayme! She is so genuine and I really liked hearing her story - I can definitely relate to a lot of her struggles. Thank you Allison for another great video ❤️

[@playtheukulele4flores200]

Always such a good surprise to see one of your vidéo up !!

[@alexrodriguez5370]

This was so practical and real world application. Jayme rocks and is so great to share and put herself out there. By the way, the looks you put together were effortless and flattering. Much love and continued success!!!

[@sarahogue]

That was really beautiful! Thank you both❤️

[@baebald1842]

love all these looks as usual (obsessed with this channel) and Jayme's hair is GOALS

[@sandramaki7819]

Love the looks you put together for Jayme. She has a beautiful figure, such a shame that she doesn’t see it. I really think the more fitted tops work well for her. Thanks for the outfit inspiration! Warm regards from Montreal to both of you 💚💚💚

[@marlaforeman4046]

Love all your videos and I watch them all at least 4-5 times! But wanted to give a special shoutout to whomever edits your videos and puts in the Jack Erwin shoe with the airhorn - omg I crack up every time! Thanks Allison, keep doing what you’re doing!

[@mmclennon]

This was therapeutic to watch. love Jayme's style, loved seeing AB's inspring suggestions. More!

[@madeline3624]

This video was so inspiring! Thank you and thanks Jayme for literally all of it

[@franceswilson6044]

an honest and important video for women about body image.

[@Yamuma]

Jayme I love you! I also have short legs, wide hips, and a tum. I generally gravitate towards the clothes you picked out (boxy), and only realised that it doesn’t suit me after seeing these outfits on you. Thank you for having her on the show Allison! ❤❤❤❤

[@wallyrbc]

Enjoyed the video very much! I think Jayme looked fantastic and I’ll definitely follow her. Thank you for talking about mental health!

[@blanchemurphy3219]

Loved this! I can relate to some of the things you said Jayme. I love fashion but also have Body Dysmorphic Disorder so clothes are both a source of inspiration and a source of anxiety for me. You both look great and love your styles. xxx

[@madeline3624]

Wait also Jayme looks B O M B in those tighter tanks + blazer combos!!

[@chrissengemmill6024]

AB SO LUTE LY loved this video!

[@donnab8665]

Love this type of video!!

[@sarahyoung6746]

Loved this video! I’ve got a similar body type and I wear a lot of the same styles - flowy, button ups, collars, denim, etc.

[@Blahblahblahblahhhhh]

This was an awesome video seeing clothing options on regular sized women. So helpful!

[@victoriaquezada]

Fabulous video!!!!

[@95clairbear]

Aw she’s an angel

[@ED-qc6cf]

Loved this, it is so pleasant to watch !! I love Jayme ´s black boots, who makes it ?

[@weeleelee5843]

Jayme's beautiful smile! She looks amazing in that mirror.

[@mylescr]

Really enjoyed

[@jennykerridge9718]

Another fabulous video. Any chance you could do one with your mum - I think that would be amazing!

[@heidimirdala6156]

Who makes the jacket you are wearing Allison? It is perfection!!

[@MA-rk2om]

I would love to know too!!

[@appolinash]

When I saw Jamie in that black skirt and black top combo. I was like wow:)))) that is her shining 🔥

[@savournsoul]

Omg jayme is gorgeous af. That black tank tho 😍

[@leticiaviera1151]

A gratitude mindset changes everything, I've also struggled for most of my life with weight and body image but the moment i started focusing on what I'm grateful for in life i started seeing things differently, gratitude emanates from love and it shifts your focus, it helps you heal😌Start incorporating small daily moments of focusing on what you're grateful for, meditations, moments of pause, breathing, observing, journaling, writing little notes to yourself or others...we've so much to be grateful for!! but when we're focusing on what we aren't yet or don't have everything becomes a struggle

[@silverstirls]

Great video filled with excellent tips! Also I love your jacket Allison! Who makes it?

[@AllisonBornstein]

Thank you!!!! Got it at the Celine outlet it Palm Springs. Highly recommend if you ever go to Palm Springs! There are not many Celine outlets!!!

[@sarazimi]

@@AllisonBornstein is there an online link to your jacket? It’s BEAUTIFUL

[@des1180]

Darker base jeans and top, less texture/ stripes- … it would make her hair and skin pop - and streamline … if I was a stylist dressing her :) Blazer jeans combo excellent example ❤

[@michelleblanco972]

Do you subscribe to the Kibbe method? I'm looking at Jayme and I think she's a natural! I feel like you guys decided volume or oversize wasn't quite right for her, but with her naturally wavy hair I feel like a voluminous pant and top in these light tone neutrals in a natural texture like linen would look so stunning on her. I'm not sure if you've covered Kibbe before but as a stylist I feel it can be limiting but also useful! Curious to hear what you think!
