Why You Look Bad In Everything You Wear | look better now

[@giedre]

Have you ever experienced the situation when you dress the same way as your friend but you look off? What ingredient personally for you makes the best outfit? Let's chat! ❤ Watch previous episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHK6XpKopLqFrdU

[@gochagory]

Yes I have. For me, the type of figure was important, but also what others may think about it, and sometimes I figured I was not enough brave to try on something new. I liked your tips I was wondering how did you get into fashiob in the first place?

[@magdakrol8007]

I admire my friend's chic, classy style: tweed blazers, Chanel-like pieces. She looks fantastic and I, in the same outfits, look 10 years older than I wished to look and tweed blazers do me no favors. :/

[@giedre]

@@gochagory Thank you for sharing that with me! I think it is really important to acknowledge where we're at and what could be hiding behind the surface and once we know, we can find the way out much quicker! Answering your question, I always liked fashion from my early days, I used to do photoshoots with my younger siblings and in my teenage years I have been working as a model and that experience has helped in shaping my own perspective about this industry, body and insecurities that came along. I was always paying attention to stylist's work, how they are making certain adjustments on set and so on. Later on I started helping my friends with style, shopping and etc. In my late 20s I quit my lawyer's job and moved to Denmark, started working as a stylist, studied and totally changed my career path (I have master's degree in Law and worked as a Lawyer for quite a bit). And I guess all this experience combined really moves me forward on this path and I see a lot value and purpose in what I do today ❤ Coming from this background I see that there is a lot of bs that we as women have to deal with and I just want to lessen this pressure and make every women feel better ❤

[@giedre]

@@magdakrol8007 Well noticed! Yes, sometimes a tweed blazer can look very chic and sometimes it is the opposite. I believe the whole picture is important including makeup and hair style. Also tweed is a bulky fabric, therefore the cut should be really flattering for your proportions.

[@magdakrol8007]

Yes :) I am not a professional, but from what I noticed, tweed blazers are really flattering for very slim women, like Jackie Kennedy or Kate Middleton. Those blazers also look really interesting when paired with wide-leg jeans. Maybe it's also a question of personality? For example, I feel way more comfortable in a leather jacket. It's important to understand what clothes suit the personality and lifestyle. Not everybody is made for Chanel, right? :)@@giedre

I swear I have a “funhouse” mirror in my home. I put together an outfit, style my hair, put on jewelry and feel confident that I look great and put together only to see myself in a photo or catch a glimpse of myself in a window reflection or mirror and I’m mortified! How can you help me with this?

[@giedre]

Thank you for bringing this up! I believe you are not alone here, haha! First of all as we are very emotional creatures our emotions and feeling change throughout the day which is totally normal and that can reflect in the way you feel about yourself and your outfit too. Another thing is that some of us might not feel comfortable being photographed, while the posture and inner confidence might impact the way we look a lot! I always recommend having a photo folder on your phone and document your outfits so that you can have an unbiased look at your outfit. This process helps also in building up the confidence and better sense of your personal style ❤

[@angelabutler7761]

Take a picture of yourself when you get dressed. Try out different things like tucking, untucking your shirt, etc…this way you can see in a photo what you do not see in a mirror.

The examples with the comparisons of bad and good outfits are certainly very informative. Unfortunately, they are integrated so quickly and briefly that the eye doesn't have a chance to compare in peace. But I also don't want to have to stop the video every few seconds and even jump back slightly to capture everything. Finally, I also have to follow your explanation at the same time. A pity!

My problem is that I haven't yet learned to accept the changes in my body. I went through menopause late in life, which is good for my health, but my body has changed suddenly, and I still haven't gotten used to seeing the new me. For this reason I feel like I never find the right clothes for me. I really appreciate your advice, you are very nice and kind❤️ Ciao😘😘😘

[@giedre]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your personal experience ❤ When our bodies change I find it difficult but really necessary to shift our approach and kind of not concentrate on the body's flaws but rather to discover flattering ways to dress the new way that we can feel comfortable and confident in. It takes time, but it is so worth it! I really hope the content I create will help you on this journey! ❤

Same for me. I was always a size 4 with no bulges anywhere. Now I have these horrible love handles that I do not know how to hide, although I am starting to exercise. I am not overweight.

[@SunandSweettea]

Going through the same thing! I also have short legs 😢. Now I wear wide leg pants with a slimmer top tucked in, pair with appropriate accessories and I feel pretty good. Still learning about layering and color combinations but it’s a work in progress. Next step is going through my closet and tossing ALL low rise pants, skinny pants and colors that don’t suit me.

[@effieskitsa]

I recently discovered your channel and you changed my life! I started to get dressed according to my body type. It's incredible how small adjustments can make a huge difference. It's amazing that when I started to pay attention to what suits me I started feeling so much better. Thank you so much 🙏

[@giedre]

Amazing to hear that, thank you for letting me know!☺️🫶 small changes really do have a power to transform and that is doable to everyone! Thank you for sharing that! 💃

[@carolmelancon]

Off topic, but the way your shirt matches your eyes (at least on my monitor) is stunning. I just noticed that your "chapter titles" backgrounds and the accent wall beside you also matches - impressive.

[@vylia]

Loved this video, dear Giedre! Thanks for putting such a good list of tips with possible ways to confront the original issue. For me, the last one, "it's all in your head," applies quite well. I recently bought a fuchsia t-shirt that I liked on the website, but I knew it was risky because I never wore a piece of that color. I decided to go for it to try something different outside of my standard colors. And it worked incredibly well! Many people told me how that color suited me and how I looked more radiant. So, yes, risking a little just to get out our comfort zone can be such a good idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@peacefultowers]

Hello Giedre, thank you for another very useful video. I have a query bout the Rule of Thirds. You gave examples of the lower body being the 2/3 and upper body being the 1/3. Does the reverse work, ie., upper body outfit 2/3 and lower body 1/3. So in your example at 8:14 where you are wearing the dress, could it have looked better with pants?

[@debnremmicallie785]

Thank you for your time and knowledge! Love your vids. ? Could you make a video with what clothes look like on a hanger then on the person? So frustrating shopping when have a body type but not sure how to look properly when shopping without trying on allot ? Thanks

[@liana2136]

Very nice video, and I especially need to integrate your tips about proportion and rule of thirds. I need a silhouette formula that I can just repeat in different outfits.Thank you for your very helpful tips and examples, Giedre. 💕

Thank you for your feedback! Proportion is really important and makes a huge difference I really hope you can learn more from my videos! 🧚‍♀❤

[@cltinturkey]

Great video! So many useful and practical tips. It's hard getting rid of old favorite pieces that no longer really suit me. I'm working at it slowly and surely and making progress a bit at a time.

[@giedre]

Glad it was helpful! I usually advice to remove (just from the closet) the clothing that no longer serve you and later on, when you find new styles and new favorites it is much easier to get rid off those pieces :)

[@cltinturkey]

@@giedre Good way to do it. Thanks!

[@punk7066]

My body is impossible to fit. My waist is 33 and my hips are 35. I have very wide shoulders and skinny legs. I’m 5’ 4” and 126 pounds. I’m athletic (was a tomboy) and 75 years old. The clothes that flatter me the most are appropriate for a teenage boy. Love the baggy pants. I feel good in Tibi/Nili Lotan like clothes, but I feel like I look like I’m trying too hard to look cool.

[@lookwhatiboughttoday]

Maybe you need to accept that you just ARE cool 😊

[@edennis8578]

I'm envious! I have a beautiful friend with the same body type. She can wear boy's jeans and men's blazers (which are made 10x better than women's) and they look like they were tailor made for her. My husband brought back a man's Harris tweed jacket from Scotland for me, but it didn't fit anywhere. My shoulders are too narrow and hips are too wide. So we tried it on my friend and it fit her perfectly. Now it's hers. Sigh. Just to say, there are some real advantages to having an athletic, boyish figure, and to still have it at 75! Wow! I'm 69, and my figure just gets squishier every year. 😂

I know what is right for my frame and body type, HOWEVER, clothing manufacturers do not! As I got older and somewhat disabled and can’t exercise anymore I got chubby, but I certainly didn’t get taller. Why are women’s sizes always so long and so baggy ? Very few shorter tops, and rare to find Women’s petite! I want fitted clothing that is short enough for someone who is 5 foot 1, and big busted.. pass this along to clothing companies.

[@cb9825]

Where do you live? There is a company created by a KZbinr with the channel called Petite Dressing. They make clothes for petite women.

[@giedre]

I get your point, sometimes when I am checking pus size brands I see many styles that just can't work for this type, but..I guess every women faces similar issues no matter the body build.. Happily the better we know ourselves, the easier we can navigate ❤ There are many different brands that offer different fit types for petite and plus size as well. You can check on asos, nordstrom, marks&spencer, gerry weber, etc.

7:25 this part is really hard for me…I’m a short inverted triangle, with an invisible waist because I still have a rounder tummy. I don’t have enough room for thirds! 😂 Please help! 🙏🏽

[@giedre]

First of all, make sure your bra is supporting properly as lifted brests helps to create some space and opt for a mid-rise bottom pieces. If you are belting choose belts that are not too wide or the ones that doesn't have fabric in the middle (for instance Zara: 6399/007). Also use top layers to divide the upper part (blazers, open cardigans, vests, etc). V-necklines also helps to elongate overall silhouette. Hope that helps!

5% of the population look good in skinny legs yet 75% of the population wear them. Everyone looks like a huge funnel.

[@jodyjackson5475]

😂👏🏻💯

[@carmenburnham1088]

That’s because they don’t know how to style what goes with skinny legs. I abhor wide leg trousers. Anything but skinny leggings or jeans make a woman’s figure look much larger. But height also has something to do with it. A taller woman can pull those off.

I'm going to write a very impolite comment :) Because the video is very good and useful. But I have many friends who are never happy with the way they look. In response to any advice, they only respond with whining about how unfair fate is to them. Although from an objective point of view they look quite good, taking into account their age, lifestyle and effort. I am convinced that this is a matter of arrogance: for some reason a person is convinced that he was born to look like a supermodel, dressed by an expensive stylist. And they are always, always dissatisfied. Sorry, I triggerred a bit :)

[@giedre]

Thank you for your feedback and bringing this up! I think we are prone to see our bodies through the lens that our society has formed and that is usually so far away from the real body standards. Even models (I have been there) are always pushed to rarely attainable standards and the more we "consume" this type of information the more likely it will be difficult to reach those standards. That's why I hope my content and showing you some real life examples with real women and their wardrobes will help to shed some light and "normalize" the standards a bit more ❤
