Which one do you want to see next in this Basics Series? Let me know! 😁

[@Joelswinger34]

How about jeans if ypu haven't already done that? Or skirts?

[@humanbeing524]

Your channel saves me time, money and confusion! Thank you. Do you think you can talk about sweater vests? either sleeveless vest or a layered, twofer - sweater with shirt underneath? like the Karen Kane or Ralph Lauren or Karen Scott styles I have seen. Thanks! Also, do you have the link to the faux button up blouse - the one with the collar but not the bottom.

[@morgan8112]

I know this is kind of different, but could you do a video on hair? The overall effect of long hair vs short hair, updos vs wearing them down, different bang types, etc? So often I see hair videos talking about the effect on the face, but as a 5'9" woman with a short torso, broad shoulders, and short neck, I can't figure out if my long curly hair that's the same width as my shoulders helps me look longer or if I just look even boxier on top! Thanks so much for your videos, they're super helpful!

[@carolalaimo5277]

Loved this video! Very helpful! Hopefully I can remember everything the next time I go “shopping” in my closed and else!

[@trishmitchell4548]

At the tender age of 50 - and a veteran of the style wars and all things fashion advice, I can hand on heart say you have single-handedly explained and taught me more about my short-torsoed body than all of them put together. Useful info I use every day - great job, thank you! 🙏🏻🌸

[@JulesBeth]

Aw Trish I’m so happy to hear this! Thank you for sharing. This made my day! 💖

[@eileenkilworth6950]

Totally agree, I'm 64 & learner more in the few vlogs I've watched👏👏

[@shelleyschultz8337]

Last year you helped me figure out I had a short torso and changed the way I shopped for clothing. And after watching this video I now realize I have a long neck. I’m 57 and still learning how to dress my body. Thank you 😊

[@JulesBeth]

Thank you for being here for so long! 💜💜

[@loseweightyourway_]

Hey Jules, I just want to say a HUGE thank you for your channel. I paid a stylist to do my colours and body shape last year - but I didn't feel comfortable in any of the clothes she recommended. I now realise this is because she didn't take into consideration that I have a short torso. Through watching just a handful of your videos I'm really learning how to balance out my body dimensions (tall - 5'10", inverted triangle, short torso) and actually feel excited about designing my capsule wardrobe (I've always HATED shopping). I can't thank you enough! Keilly PS: Do you have a video on gymwear for short torsos?...

[@JulesBeth]

Hi Keilly! Thank you so much for sharing this. It means SO MUCH to know that I can help. I'm so glad you're enjoying finding your style and that you're excited about clothes again. Gymwear is one of my most highly requested videos! I'm taking my time with it but it will be up soon! ❤😊

[@loseweightyourway_]

@@JulesBeth You're so welcome! It sounds dramatic but discovering this will change my life! I've never felt right in my clothes. Awesome re: the gymwear video - I'll keep my eyes peeled : ) ❤️

[@sharronwood3639]

Thank you for this series - so looking forward to viewing the others! You are absolutely right. I've been 'analysed'; know my best colours; style; body architecture, BUT applying all that info into curating a wardrobe that works and then creating outfits that I enjoy wearing has been a challenge. I'm definitely getting better (with much guidance from your videos), but it has taken time.

[@JulesBeth]

Style is a journey with no final destination. Enjoy the great outfits as you find them! 😊

[@Keapix]

This was really interesting, I hadn’t really factored my neck in. I struggle with short sleeve tops, because the sleeves end at the same level as my bust and I don’t want eyes going there!

[@JulesBeth]

Good to know! Sleeve length makes a difference too! Just didn’t feel like the right video for that detail. I love 3/4 sleeves too!

[@toshcat42]

Thanks for this! I knew some things about my body type- I’m in my sixties, I’m 5’9”, long neck, long torso, broad shoulders. I thought I was a straight type, but I’m actually an inverted triangle. In addition, I have a thicker waist and I have to cover my upper arms (long) due to aging. It gets so complicated taking it all into consideration! Tunics, while disguising muffin top, make my torso look endless. More cropped tops, while helping the proportion of my long torso, highlight the muffin top! Any advice for older women who have even more body changes, than body types? A video on this would be amazing.

[@bellaheblan8479]

Jules, I don’t know how I missed this one! I’ve tried to watch ALL of your videos! They’re so helpful! This was great, as usual! Thank you! ❤😎

[@martacastillo6272]

Loved the video as always! I'm very excited for the basics series :)

[@JulesBeth]

Yay!! Im so glad (and excited to add to it!)

[@des1180]

You deserve a lot more subs JB. Keep it up and you’ll surely get there. :)

[@JulesBeth]

Thanks friend! I’m thrilled for all those who are here 💕

[@FierySam]

best basics video I've seen, thank you! ❤️

[@JulesBeth]

Thank you!! 🎉

[@Joelswinger34]

Thank you, this was very helpful!

[@JulesBeth]

I’m so glad!! ❤️

[@2eyeluvmac2]

Great video. Thank you 😊

[@xTenshiAi]

Your videos are so helpful!!

[@JulesBeth]

Thank you!

[@phungan9405]

Thanks Jules, great video as always. I felt like you looked lovely in all the options though !

[@JulesBeth]

Aw thanks! It can be hard to show what doesn’t work on me sometimes because I don’t keep clothes I don’t like or like how they look on me. I’m trying to hold onto things I’d normally have donated by now to illustrate points 🙃

[@Joelswinger34]

Thanks, this is really helpful! I always feel like I have nothing to wear, and I think what I am missing is these basics.

[@JulesBeth]

I'm so glad! I really love the tips in this video

[@MorningClarity]

Best tips ever! 💖

[@JulesBeth]

Glad you think so!

[@hedgelord0]

Can you explain what you meant at 6:36? I really love your channel, and I want to learn as much from it as possible. This is definitely one of the best fashion channels I've seen. I'm honestly surprised it's not more popular.

[@kaitlinbeste328]

I really love the scoop neck 3/4 shirt you have and the nude pink turtley shirt haha I need it!!!

[@JulesBeth]

Both are linked in the description box! I get a lot of compliments on those 😉

[@kaitlinbeste328]

Oooo I love this

[@JulesBeth]

Yayyy!!! 🙌💕

[@prettypetals7101]

Just found your channel and subscribed. I knew I was short waisted, but only found out tonight I have a short neck 😁…….Thank you for all the information. 🌻🌻🌻

[@JulesBeth]

Welcome!!! ❤️❤️

[@kristinpm6920]

What if you have an average/ proportional torso and neck v

[@alexa4117]

Hi, I've watched a couple of videos you made now and I've noticed you never talk about people with average bodies. For me, I have a normal length neck, my torso and legs are pretty balanced (just slightly longer legs) and I have an hourglass shape. What about average bodies? Does anything just look good bcs I feel like it doesn't :/

[@aisiabiddle9690]

Hey Jules any advice where to these basic tops online? Btw I have a short neck, short torso, broad shoulders, large chest and my body frame is small.

[@JulesBeth]

Try the custom shirts from Amazon! I love them 😍

[@KeptForJesus]

Thank you thank you thank you for your time and dedication. My brain is all over the place though, I’m struggling a bit. So in short…. *pun intended For my short neck, short waist, triangle shape, with a larger chest, in need of slimming, I need V necks, with thicker shoulders, in contrasting colors!? Why don’t I like those on me, I prefer thinner straps as I feel thicker ones make my arms look thicker. Or do I have it backwards!? Help! 😅

[@JulesBeth]

Do what you like! Thicker straps will highlight your height but it’s all about what you feel most comfortable in

[@amandamandato3605]

I still don't know what my body shape is and what features ( long arms, short legs, thin shoulders, etc.) Do you have videos on those things and if not do you have any links you can suggest?

[@JulesBeth]

Start here 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5exd6ugo8-LasU

[@meman6964]

Short totso= petite tops. Back is14" from neck to waist

[@teresamartinez5567]

Not if you have wide shoulders and long arms… that’s the rub!

[@marizcakes4463]

Question how do we find tops that are not cropped and cute ?

[@JulesBeth]

They’re out there! Mango is one of my favs

[@antoniaz]

Jukes, I love your videos. Very informative. But Girl, slow down! I have to keep rolling back to catch all of your advice!!! Thank you

[@JulesBeth]

Thanks! I know 😅

[@rhenemanalili2326]

You have to slow
