How to Use the Rule of Thirds to Create Interesting and Balanced Outfits: Body Type and Proportions

Hello KZbin Family!
In today’s video, we are talking about dressing and proportions. Specifically, we are gonna talk about how I use the rule of thirds to get dressed every day. Dividing my body up into thirds and styling that way helps me make my outfits more interesting, more balanced, and more flattering. I hope that this video is helpful and that some of my styling tips come in handy! As always, thanks for watching!
Love, love, love - Lauren

I always consider this "rule" as I am pear-shaped, too, and during winter time I love to do it the other way round: with a knee-length dress and knee-hight boots.

I'm an overweight hourglass and I also like to use this method. I like to wear dresses that hit me on the leg where the top is 2/3. My favorite is a boot cut or a wide leg pant with a matching shoe and a top that hits me at the 1/3. It looks so balanced and lengthens the legs. This is really good advice thank you for the reminder

Wow, I have been doing this unconsciously! I like to flip it in the Fall/Winter and do a 2/3 on the top with a dress and 1/3 on the bottom with knee length boots!
