Thank you for watching! 😘What's your biggest challenge when dressing a longer torso?

[@eileenternullo8077]

Finding pants with the highest rise! 12-13”!

[@kimberly6123]

Most tops, jackets, and dresses are made for much shorter-waisted women. The waists never hit at the right place.

[@ZumbaShan]

@@eileenternullo8077 Absolutely. And once I find the right pants, then comes the challenge of finding stylish shoes with at least a bit of a heel to pair with my pants. Most platforms are too rigid to be considered real shoes, but I do like that they give me height without feeling too painful to wear for extended periods of time.

[@ZumbaShan]

It’s a joke to try to find one-piece swimsuits, and as for wetsuits …😂 I have difficulties with almost all of my clothes. Obviously bodysuits are a problem, but also my leggings are rarely comfortable or flattering. I wish companies would offer a choice of short, medium, or long torso fits. Our sisters with short torsos are also suffering!

[@kimberly6123]

I have a very long torso and I find that the built-in waists of tops and dresses hit way too high on me. It is so embarrassing. I hate it.

[@lenkiewiczlover7256]

Yes me too!!

[@ReneePete]

yep. same. i wear thin or chain belts over regular shirts if i leave them out and adjust as needed.

[@michelefarley6972]

You are the first person who has ever mentioned what I recently realized…hair length to balance my long torso! This explains why I always feel bad when too much length is trimmed! In addition to a long torso I have a long décolletage and the long hair helps put it into proportion as well. Overall Great tips thank you!

[@Chicquette]

Hi Michele, so glad you found the tips useful. Hair is such a big part of the visual. Sound like you know what you are doing and have a good understanding of your body shape and hair balance. Don't be afraid to put your foot down at the salon. Have a great day 😘

[@ReneePete]

i look best when my hair ends about an inch below my collarbone. i don't always keep it that way; i get bored with it.

[@LydiaCarroll]

I've watched so many videos on this topic. This is by far the most comprehensive yet! Thank you 😃

[@Chicquette]

Hi Lydia! So glad to hear you found it useful. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you! That was so helpful 💖

So happy to hear this. Thank you for sharing!

THANK YOU!!

[@precious_okere]

Thank you so much

[@lenkiewiczlover7256]

I have ling torso and find the opposite- my long torso means waistlines on clothes are too high and fit near the bottom of my rib cage

[@lenkiewiczlover7256]

Me too

[@MissHannah2036]

I found some high waisted jeans I like but find the back of them nearly reach my shoulder blades. But I puff out the back of the shirt more to compensate and cover the height of the jeans at the back. I used to be the same that is why I never wore high wasted pants, didn't feel comfortable with them near my ribs. Maybe need to keep looking until you find the ones that fit as close as possible.

[@abarbaradorsey3713]

Please help with styling my Free people denim maxis. I’m 5 9” age 60 with a very long torso, getting the crop top right seems impossible

[@Chicquette]

Hi Barbara. Is it a maxi skirt or dress? If skirt, does it end at your waistline? You basically need to draw your waist as the end point between your tops and bottoms. A dress and belt seem easier to me. Watch examples of what Kate does with pants. Try a high waist and tuck in the top and add a belt where you want the waist to be. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by!

[@davidbardes8233]

Why hide or disguise a long torso? Celebrate this beautiful aspect and aspect ratio of the human form! I fear this will fall on deaf ears.

[@sevincaydogan]

i am 5.8 and i don't know what's wrong with my body, but i can't find a pair of high-rise jeans that look really high-rise on me. most women seem to have shorter torsos left when they wear high-rise jeans, but when i do, i still have a long torso above the jeans. it never looks like what i hope it would. so annoying...

[@Chicquette]

Hi, have you tried measuring your abdomen and trying out different inseam? Good quality pants will share this information in the details and I also find most "high rise" just regular size, nothing spectacular. I think they consider 10" high rise. But perhaps you can look for specific 12" rise and see if it fits better. Let me know what you find. Brands like Banana Republic have regular, short and long and under details and size will describe the different measurements. Hope this helps. PS: There is Nothing wrong with you! You are how you are supposed to be. Not fitting within the brands you shop for just means you need to be more selective in what you wear. Which makes sense because there is no one out there like you and most models are just that, models. You are unique, beautiful and enough, just the way you are. Sending 💕

[@sevincaydogan]

@@Chicquette aw thank you :') i'm not in the us, but i'll see what i can find. sending love to you too and thanks for taking the time to respond this beautifully ❤️

"V-neck tops are excellent for elongating the upper body and breaking up the length of a long torso" 4:18-4:24 Why do we need to elongate it?

[@Chicquette]

Hi Sofia, you have a great question. What I meant through this statement is that if we look at the torso as one long piece, we want to break it into smaller visual fragments. We accomplish this by reducing the size from the top or the bottom of the trunk or both from the top and the bottom. The V-neck shape elongates the neck, exposing the collarbone, and cuts the torso starting where the V tip ends. If you look at the two pictures side by side of Kate at 4:25 you will see that 1/3 of the torso is visually removed by breaking it with the V-neck. An extra effect that she adds is by breaking the torso visually on the bottom as well, with the horizontal belt, in both outfits. Very strategically placed. So if we were to measure what we now perceive as her torso from the bottom of the V to the belt, it's about 1/3 of what her real torso is. Easiest comparison is if you imagine her without the neckline, in a mockneck. Her torso would look much longer. Hope I managed to answer your question. Thank you for stopping by!

[@ReneePete]

i live by v-neck or boat-neck to complement my face shape (a rounded square.) anything else looks bad and i dont like other styles, anyway.

[@allisonangel8506]

I have a long torso and I can tell you Kate does NOT. She would not be able to wear clothes with sinching at the waist. If I try to wear clothes that have a crop top or cinched waist, it falls at the wrong place. Instead of at my waist, it comes up under my boobs because they create these clothes for ladies with short torso. Kate has long legs. This is ridiculous.

[@bcassinebcassine]

Bonjour, J'aime bien vos vidéos mais je déteste la façon dont kate midelton s'habille, ça fait ringard pour une jeune. Elle aurait pu trouver son style, là, elle semble enfermée dans un style ringard pour correspondre au protocole. SVP arrêter de prendre ce mauvais exemple, on peut être élégante sans tomber dans un tel cliché ! Pour moi, elle copie, elle imite mais n'a pas inventé son style ! Ca l'a vieillit énormément, je déteste ! Kate n’a pas l’élégance des françaises, elle tombe dans un cliché !

[@jayadama1301]

Long torso is never getting style?

[@SimplyNoni]

Can one have long legs and a long torso… no one is talking about that 🫣

[@Chicquette]

I know right??? This is just a tall person and we need everyone! Thank you for sharing this. Having long legs is always a plus 🤩. What are you struggling with the most when dressing?

[@eileenternullo8077]

Finding high waisted pants and skirts is very challenging, most are cut mid. Because women want to look taller and thinner, many dresses and coats don’t have waists.

[@melissaduke5993]

@@Chicquettehi, I enjoyed your video very much. I’m tall with a long torso, small bust, long rise and long neck. I agree that dresses work beautifully. It’s hard finding pants that come up to my natural waist. Thank you creating this video.

[@MissHannah2036]

@@eileenternullo8077 really I find they are all the rage in Australia. All the young ones have been wearing high wasted jeans for the last year or so. Maybe use google images and search what you are looking for to see places in your local area to visit and try on.
