WHY YOU LOOK BAD IN JACKETS

How should my jacket fit? Should it be longer or shorter? Which jackets look the best? Can I wear them with smarter pieces? How should I wear my jacket? What should I wear my jacket with?
These are all common questions that people ask about various styles of jackets. In today's video, I go over the most common mistakes people make when choosing jackets to wear and how you can avoid these mistakes in the future.

Isn't this just a convoluted method of the rule of thirds? total height 155 cm/1.618 golden ratio= 95.797 cm leg length. 95.797 cm leg length/155 cm total height = leg ratio is 0.618 ~ leg ratio is 2/3 of the fit

I would say that many of the left examples are totally fine, despite this golden ratio. The right ones feel too short for me. It also depends on your body type. If you have a wide body like me, a short jacket doesn't look that good. Been there, done that.

[@HarryHas]

As mentioned after explaining about the golden ratio, there are times when it’s better not to follow it. This is to help teach about proportions. You have to do and wear what you like on you at the end of the day

[@HarryHas]

I also disagree with you that wide body types can’t wear shorter jackets. You just need to find the right proportions in the bottom part of the outfit to balance it out.

[@markuserikssen]

​@@HarryHas I don't mean that it doesn't work for anyone with a wide body. But for me it usually doesn't work. The suggestions on the right side of the video would look very weird on me. I don't think longer jackets (several ones you've showed on the left side) look bad at all. But that's just my personal opinion.

[@rovinkorale7774]

The rule of thirds is something I’ve kinda been obsessed with recently. It’s such an established thing in women’s fashion but way less common in men’s. I don’t have many cropped jackets, really I only have one. But I often create this aesthetic by tucking in the layer underneath. When you think about it, that way you actually have three interesting thirds if your jacket is a bit longer than the tuck.

[@Minecraftrok999]

Yeah the look is nice, but such a cropped jacket is objectively worse at a jackets main job: Keeping your Torso warm. It's functional to have a jacket longer than the golden ratio or a third, that's why the vast majority of jackets sold don't adhere to it.

[@owenopi8694]

Such a great video! Absolutely love the level of proper detail with the golden ratio, as opposed to some creators who just say "ooo proportions" and then dont explain any further. You can also use this rule to figure out how long an overcoat should ideally be, you just flip a and b around. And ofc, you don't always have to hit the golden ratio exactly - thats going to be the most pleasing fit and the best place to start, but you can still go a little shorter or longer to create different effects!

[@HarryHas]

Yes exactly right. The ratio works flipped around too. I didn’t want to make things too confusing. Thanks a lot

[@clydejohndiohen1847]

This is what I was missing! This was my problem for my fitting, the awkwardness of long jackets make look too short and disproportionate. This golden ratio was it! Thank you so much for the informational video!

[@inamorato5960]

You can also make a visual cue if you wanna wear a jacket that's too long, by tucking in your inner garments into your pants right at the golden ratio point, and unzipping your jacket. It'll create a more flowy look, but still abide by the golden ratio rule, so you won't look disproportionate.

[@anonymousotter6455]

This is the best video I've seen from your channel! I absolutely loved the presentation and all the extra details, like making the models the same height, choosing differently styled models, and even adding the black line representing the golden ratio! This video was extremely well done! By the way, although I like this golden ration idea(from now on I'll call it the rule of thirds), I think we're all sleeping on the 50/50 proportions. Maybe this is a little delusional, but I find that the 50/50 split accentuates your upper body, making you appear a bit more intimidating, even more masculine. Think of all of those ridiculous cartoon characters with tiny legs and a big torso. Or the types of gangsters who wear oversized clothing. This is just a hypothesis, but I think 50/50 proportions would work well with the workwear or gorpcore style because it accentuates toughness.

[@HarryHas]

Thank you very much

[@WhiteVlog01]

I agree a lot of people wear mostly 50/50 and it doens’t look bad. But the rule of thirds is something that elevates your appearance and imo could work for everybody. It makes you appear taller and makes your torso and chest pop out. I have a lot of clothes that i like and until like last year i couldn’t understand why something seemed off and i wasn’t completely happy with how they looked on me and it was because i didn’t really understand proportions. Personally, I feel a lot more confident when i have an outfit that hits the golden ration.

One thing I struggle is that most clothing you find at more affordable price point are always too long for men below 180cm.

[@disguisedcentennial835]

For t shirts I always find something nice in the sleeve and shoulders and then hem them

[@erwanherve5494]

Nice explanation. This doesn't apply to suit and sport jackets, they are way longer, but the bottom button and pockets usually sits around that golden ratio line on the well tailored jackets with a classic cut.

[@36424567254]

Well, in truth you should really consider that the whole point of tailored jackets (in this specific aspect) is creating a line at the height of your *natural waist* . Not by directly ending the jacket there, but through the buttoning point (i.e. top/middle button, not the bottom button!) and (if single breasted like most are these days) opening quarters after it. This allows you to show an elongated leg line in the front (if wearing high rise trousers) while in the back hiding the point where your leg actually ends so they appear to be longer. This is also why the popular trend for super short "tailored" jackets that end mid-backside is so stupid: at that point you are better of going for a cropped jacket like he shows in the video, since that particular effect is ruined and you need another way to lengthen your leg line. The same goes for low rise trousers in suits, except that in that case the effect is ruined in the front instead, by interrupting the leg line way too early. Ofc this holds for traditional sartorial jackets, not necessarily for the various deconstructions or reimaginations by fashion designers which often have totally different goals in mind, possible even against this original idea of lengthening the leg line, and often just do extreme stuff for shock value tbh. By the way, the natural waist is probably higher on your body than the golden ratio though (or maybe it's actually about the golden ratio if you consider your full height including the head?).

Hello, Harry. I appreciate the video. I agree with the golden ratio or similar proportion principles; typically, it works if one's bottom section of the body is longer (or equal) to the upper part of the body. What about those with a larger upper body? How do they keep this 1/3 rule?

[@HarryHas]

That’s why you measure from your feet to your shoulder. Your golden ratio point will give off the illusion that your legs are longer and your torso is shorter.

[@DMorgan77]

This was fantastic Harry. Very informative and educational. Do you try to apply it (Golden Ratio) to your tops too? I have always thought of mid crotch being fine for a top to hit, which is likely lower or below the Golden Ratio.

[@HarryHas]

I just eyeball my outfits but I do the same thing with tops yes. I think the proportions work well for me like that. Thanks a lot mate

That’s exactly why I talk about measuring yourself. If you measure from your feet to your shoulder and divide that measurement by the golden ratio, it won’t be 50/50. You can create the illusion of having longer legs if you dress using your golden ratio (if that’s what you want to do of course)

Can you make a video about ratio for outfits with shorts plsss

[@michaelbarrett7912]

Your application of the golden ratio to fashion is an interesting approach. I would love to know what length of jackets are going to look best before I buy them, much like the way I know what pant length I should go for. My only concern is that the calculation is focused on the ratio itself, and only takes the wearer's height into account (minus the head of course). What about the rest of the body - their torso, waist, hips, legs, etc? For someone like myself who just naturally has longer legs, I often find that a longer top helps my proportions by covering up some of that length. I find it hard to believe that everyone will look good in these 'golden ratio outfits' since no two bodies are quite the same. I think the thought behind this is great, though the process maybe needs some tweaking before I would consider using it.

[@m.m4982]

If you have unusually long legs then the golden ratio would actually dictate you use longer tops. Its not telling you that your outfits have to end at your hips. Cmon its simple math don't over complicate it 😅

[@michaelbarrett7912]

@@m.m4982 I'm not saying that there's a problem with the math, but there is with the execution. You can't just apply a universal equation without checking whether there needs to be modifications - people are just built different. If anything you run the risk of under complicating it. For example, you say that for someone with longer legs the ratio "would actually dictate you use longer tops" - well yes, but only if I'm also taller in general (remember, the use of the ratio here only considers my feet to my shoulders, no consideration for how long my legs are)!

[@m.m4982]

@@m.m4982 I think there's a misunderstanding here. As a person with longer legs, the golden ratio would say to wear slightly longer tops, based on my height. If I had a longer torso but was still the same height, the ratio would not change (unless we factor in my body proportions).
