it depends more if you are an apple type with hardly any waist, then oversized but not layering is best, or if you have a waist, you should wear a lot of longer skater dresses and ballerina skirts with a tighter top, and can further emphasize the waist with belts. Oversized 80's style high rise suit trousers with belts. Kristen from Buzzfeed has a very round shape but she always wears that kind of dress because she has a slight waist

Accentuate the parts of your body you want to show off. Balance is key, too. The point of wearing clothes do such things like "fixing" is to emphasize other parts of your body. If you are chubby you dont want to wear something that emphasizes your size, you will wear something that emphasizes the actual shape your body has (because chubby girls are not all apple shapes). If youre short you wear extreme length pants (short or long) to elongate the legs. You want the entirety of your leg to be visible whether its the actual skin or its the shape through some jeans (pants dont have to be tight but the style does depend on your body type and where your curves are)
@josephinewinter6 жыл бұрын
i used to work in a clothes shop and 'petite' means 'short'. If your top, your legs or both are short, buying 'petite' but in your size - you can be a petite 18 or 20 for instance (although the sizes tend to be smaller than most modern ones) - will help your clothes fit better. Having the waist on your waist especially helps with jackets and dresses. The single most important fit, especially for jackets and coats, is the shoulder seam, which should fit right on the shoulder bone, which is like your shoulder corner but slightly down from the top, not much. (Same if you have long body or legs - buying brands for long bodies will help them fit better.) I watched over and over again as people bought the wrong fit because it was cheaper then returned it because i didn't fit and moaned 'things never fit me'. It can be hard to tell, but trying on a petite or long brand ('minuet petite', 'long tall sally' etc) will tell you in an instant! NB note i said if your top or your legs - i have a long body and short legs, the opposite of most women and not attractive. But i look a lot better in petite trousers and long top, it helps not hinders. I learnt my shape only through working there. And how to fold clothes really fast correctly, and the importance of knitwear and jacket hangers in not ruining your stuff, and linen creases just hanging up, you don't need to even wear it. And nothing else.

She's giving ideas on how to make your clothes harmonizes with your silhouette. In composition, having a curve in the middle of straight line will contrast each other, giving probably unwanted attention. But if you put straight lines with straight lines, it will create harmony. Of course you can use this if you actually want to make contrast to something. You must learn the rules before you break it!

I believe that I'm a soft natural. I really feel my best wearing unstructured clothing, soft materials, layering. But here's the problem, that way of dresssing it's fantastic when I'm dressing casual, but the moment I need to dress more formal, let's say in a professional enviroment, I look underdressed. But if I try to wear something more taylored, like a suit, it looks awful, it looks boxy, heavy and I feel miserable. So my question, how to dress in way that I feel confortable in, that goes with my bodytype, but makes me look formal, professional and polished. And I think , other bodytypes might have the opposite problem, like classics. Yes, they look amazing in a well fitted, taylored jacket but there are situations were that's not appropiated, and they want to wear something more relaxed. Or what happens if a dramatic wants to look more feminine or a romantic likes to look more edgy?

If you've ever watched Sex and the City, basically, I spent my entire life trying to dress like Charlotte when I had the body type of Samantha. Samantha is a soft dramatic. If you want more information, google David Kibbe body types. He goes very in depth. I have seen so many women look straight out of a Calvin Klein ad wearing a simple tee and jeans, but when I do that, I look like a hillbilly. Soft dramatics don't do so well in jeans. When you dress out outside your type, you end up looking "wrong" somehow. I love cute cardigans. I put one on, I look frumpy. Charlotte would rock a cardigan twin-set. Samantha, not so much.

I had to smile when you mentioned the tailored shirt dress. It's one of my favorite pieces since my teen years. Soft classic here

I'm a soft gamine, and you are SO spot on. No wonder I've struggled through the years with how to shop/what to shop for... now the online shopping makes it more difficult!

That was perfect for me, because I couldn't tell what my body type is but I know what looks good on me. Now I know I'm classic. That'll allow me to keep working on myself 😊

I am a TR but i didn't want to follow exact rules but as I've been going shopping I noticed that i gravitate a lot twards ttheatrical romantic clothes naturally. And they do look better on me. Before i used to try on things that looked good in other women and not on me and i thought i was ugly because they didnt fit me. Now i realize that they weren't the right clothes for my body type. This series has been extremely helpful on finding my own signature style.

Flamboyant Gamine here, and I've NEVER been so proud of my body type before! Thank you! It also explains alot about the types of styles I gravitate toward. I tend to like... men's tailoring but throw in a few flowers somewhere. And my hair is a SUPER curly 'fro. It's like... the thing everyone describes me with first. "The tiny girl with the big hair..." I LOVE this video. New subscriber here!

when you were describing the gamines, i love the adjectives that you chose to apply omg. like "to refreshen, to lift, to brighten" instead of saying "to look thinner, to look taller and more lean". Because all the body types have their own ways of styling and showing off their features. Beautiful. Learning about these types from you, has really made me accept myself; as well as to love myself!!!!

This is so detailed and holistic and she must've invested so much time in it. Sometimes I look at men and classify them in the same way (dramatic, gamine classic etc). Because for men the internet usually describes them as three body types: ectomorphs, endomorphs and mesomorphs. It's usually from a bodybuilding point of view, of how the skinny ectomorphs or the heavy-set endomorphs should try to gain or lose weight be the inverted triangle shaped muscular mesomorphs. But I don't think it's very inclusive or detailed, because sometimes, there are fat guys with narrow bone structure and skinny guys with wide shoulders and bones etc.

I am a dramatic classic, but it's funny what you said about the button-up dresses for the classic type because I've loved shirtdresses and button-up tops for YEARS and I gravitate towards them without thinking. Now I know why! And I always choose classic, tailored, more fitted pieces. Anything oversized/bohemian, androgynous, or with weird cut-outs just looks wrong on me. The only difference is that if my hair is too neat, it looks almost flat against my face. Tousled, curled hair helps to soften my jaw and balance out my facial features.

Oh my gosh same here! I think Im just regular Classic though but Im like you! Bohemian style and weird cut outs dont suit me! I like my outfits snug on me and I love shirt dresses as well.

Thank you for sharing this information! It makes so much sense. I would often advise my friends to wear the things that look most flattering for their body types, but it was always something I could just see with my eye, but couldn’t explain it. Your explanation also made me feel so much better about my own body type. Even at my lowest weights and smallest sizes (like womens US 4/5), I was never “lean.” Always fleshy. I thought there was something wrong with me. I’m much more comfortable with my body shape now. I think every woman should embrace her own! (As well as wear what they want, too:)) I absolutely adore your hairstyle in this video as well. You look gorgeous!

I am so happy I found your videos! I'm desperately trying to change my look and dress in a way that flatters my body. Finding clothes was always hard because of certain stereotypes concerning body image. Going for the classic look was the right choice for me. It's no wonder that I always liked that style, my wallet is now dreading my next shopping outing. Thank you so much!
