Proportions, Silhouette, & Body Type

[@manaphyonfire]

This is absolutely the most important part of fashion in my opinion. It isn’t how expensive the pieces are, or how cheap they are.

[@Glotaku]

70% proportions 10% color 20% materials

[@after_its_gone]

@@Glotaku Ion think this is true. its more like an equal split between the three. because in all honesty, wearing cheap materials and bad matching colors even with good proportions will distract from any benefit that a good proportion will give your outfit.

[@fl4avv721]

@@Glotaku no baby the proportions could be right but if it's a very outdated color combination it's just not fashion

[@duckytm777]

I dont think its a matter of price but more of nuisance a lot of high end designers either try to push boundaries or innovate on existing fashion while more low end products confine to a norm

[@tyler-xo3rb]

"think of the silhouette as like, the shadow of your outfit" oh, like a silhouette

[@DrewJoiner]

Exactly lmao

[@jaeyoungchoi]

Proportion is the single-hand most important thing in fashion. Most important thing in design period. It's what they teach you in art school, fashion school, film school, anything design related. There's a reason why there's a certain height for males and females that are desired for runway fashion - all due to how proportions work. Proportions, rule of thirds, golden ratio, what-have-you: there's a proven idea that there is something innately mathematical that lives under what we consider "beautiful" for the human eye. Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man says it all. It's always about truly understanding your proportions when it comes to having your own style. Silhouettes, tones, and the little extras are what comes after. I've been gravitating towards minimalism over the years and it only recently dawned to me that this natural affinity stemmed from the fact that I have been training my brain to understand proportions better. If you truly understand proportions you can make any piece of clothing look good. You can sketch models and landscapes that look picturesque. You can take your photography and filmmaking to another level. You can create a whole new layer to your home and living space. Edit, forgot some movie recs: Fallen Angels, La Haine, and City of God

[@alecothegecko]

3 great film recs!!!!! was going to comment La Haine but you hit the nail on the head

[@Southforthewinter]

Batman and Superman are listed at 6’2 which I believe is the average height for most male models. They range between 6’1-6’3 ( usually) with 6’2 being the average. I wonder then if the comic artists and writers understand that this is the ideal ratio for males and is why they write them to be at that height. Edit. Apparently Superman is usually listed at 6’3. Which still falls under the male model height range. But….yeah lmao

[@oompaloompa6221]

Fallen angels is amazing

[@flamingaish]

i love those movies dude, wong kar wai all the way tho!

Proportion is a game changer, not only in fashion, but also everywhere where you want to please your eyes

[@gregorynolf5125]

Its crazy because I first subscribed to you because we both ballers and our sizes are exactly the same. You're definitely one of the reasons I quit the skinny pants and moved to straight fit when I was done with college. Been helping me with proportions since day 1.

[@Whodnl]

Drew is giving us a classic and a key into know how to buy the right clothes

[@mannyg403]

I’ll say this being a bigger man 6’3 290 (football build) it’s definitely more challenging to find clothing that fit me how I want so going a size up for me is always necessary when it comes to pants. But listen to you drew and understanding and exactly applying this to my clothes and my own personal has definitely gave me a boost of confidence, I’m not saying I wasn’t confident (that’s beside the point) I’m sure everybody know the importance of knowing your measurements it can make or break many outfits and you’re tips and conversations of these podcast and videos have definitely given me a new perspective coming to fashion. I’m new extremely but I feel like I’ve found a way to accurately express myself and not give a damn what anybody thinks. I do want to say I appreciate your videos extremely. 🤛🏾🤛🏾 *two bumps P.S. I do want to say that your confidence in your fits are also what make the fits you put on and decide to wear you. The confidence you have the better it looks to your own self and to other. Peace & Love to everybody from an East Texan 🤞🏾

[@hiwhatsup109]

Can you talk more about proportions and how they should look? I’m a 5’8” stocky guy with thick thighs and wide shoulders, and I feel like it’s hard to get proportions or silhouette right. I would love to learn more from you

[@nym5qu17]

I'm a little bit chubby so ever since I started sizing up my tops I've felt much more comfortable with my rather awkward proportions. Having a more oversized/relaxed top esp with layers makes it super comfortable for me. It sucks though how I can't wear my true size sometimes since certain brands are WAY too fitted for my style.

[@dyllllan7024]

Ye I went to a store (Carhartt WIP I think) and there was a guy who was pretty big, and yet his outfit fitted him perfectly to me and stood out compared to everyone else in the store. (He worked there and was rly kind to me). I think a big part of it was his confidence in wearing his fit.

[@free699]

Hit the gym

[@tjharrop]

I’m a wider guy - big shoulders, big chest, and “skips cardio” in the middle - and going oversized on the top has made everything just click. Works way better in winter, but sort of applies in summer too. I keep the bottom half fitted though, which I guess I’m lucky I can, but skinnier fitting bottom half evens me out instead of looking like that big white robot thing from that kids movie

[@tjharrop]

[@ryanc3760]

I live in Florida, so no snow yet lol. My three movies: 1. Hereditary 2. Parasite 3. The Witch

[@xz9499]

I don't usually comment but these are the sort of videos that are need. The core elements if fashion, a sort of introspective analysis of oneself in a way through the lenses of fashion. I feel like this introspection is lost a lot in the modern realm with people falling into moulds that don't require more thought than simply that of a bank account with available funds. Thanks drew for continuing to be one of the only channels that dives into the nexus of what could be considered a new era of fashion. As in the past the subculture defined how you dress, now the way you dress defines your subculture. It'd be a pleasure to meet someday and speak. Keep up the good work. 3 Movies: My Rainy Days (JP) Come and See (USSR) Sione's Wedding 1 & 2 (NZ)

post vidvid gang. love the community, everyone sharing sum education in fashion. The difference between the two is very important. wonderful video as a young man, just getting started at fashion, you help me alot. from philippines drew

[@patrickchoque7720]

You need to do a video on what to wear if you’re short 😂 I feel like it’s always hard to find good clothes with the right proportions as a short guy, because they’re always aimed at medium/large sizes (understandably tbf)

[@eticayou4423]

I live in Quebec and we had a snowstorm 2 days ago. For movie recommendations I’d recommend night crawler, knives out and ofc a classic, my go to movie: the godfather

[@yanikjayaram]

6:00 - "you can see the rule of thirds applies nicely here" - actually, I can't. Could you explain where the thirds are? Especially the guy's fit, it looks like his shirt end line is dividing him roughly in half. Would be helpful for you to add video affects showing the 2/3 'rds split.

[@Replicus]

You and frugal have great tips and advice

[@geoffreyclark8584]

I can't say that Im much into fashion but I like to dress to look good and feel good and I think your videos have helped me think about what I wear differently to put better fits together as well as expose me to some out-there things that I wouldn't normally see so I thank u for that. For what more I'd wanna see on the channellll.... I think an evolution of style video could be pretty cool. just lookin at how things have evolved over time, especially with the internet exploding the access to everything. Also a video on driving forces of trends could be something. these are half baked ideas but whatever Movie recs; Imma keep it season themed so theyre all christmas movies, at least thats what my family celebrates this time of year. first my family watches a Christmas Story probably 5 times a season, me mum loves it. second, I think Diehard is also a good one to throw in there, keep it spicy in a normally calm season. finally, the Charlie brown Christmas special for the nostalgia but more importantly for the music; heat across the board for Christmas music. also ill throw in Home alone for good measure (1 & 2 if u wanna marathon em)

[@minerbroEDI]

Loved the video! Very important elements to consider. No snow has occurred. The three movies I would recommend would be: Stalker Death by hanging Oldboy

[@allen.t]

The vid was short and sweet which is what most look for. I think you got all the points across and made it really easy to digest. Personally i think proportions is easily more important overall when it comes to styling myself. As a shorter dude (5’6) I struggle with tees and shirts being longer than i would like because they make my legs look shorter which can make the outfit unflattering. I don’t mind my height at all and I don’t think anyone should be insecure about it but I absolutely hate it because I am typically unsatisfied with how most things fit especially when it comes to designer/high end garments since they’re usually meant for a average/tall body type. Loved the energy in the post vidvid btw! Sorry i dont have any movie recommendations 😅

[@Indigololz]

Find a good tailor! You can hem your shirts for ~$10 and have them look more flattering on you. I'd personally recommend trying to avoid buying any shirts that you'd want to take more than 1 - 1.5" off, because it can ruin the proportions, especially on a button up shirt or graphic tshirt. You can also try out Asian designers, particularly Japanese brands, which cater more often to shorter men. I personally enjoy brands like Engineered Garments, Beams Plus, or Still By Hand. Hope that helps!

[@brin.576]

liked this vid, drew! would have liked to see other kinds of body types just to zero in on the proportions of the human body. of course there are endless varieties of body proportions but some more common ones are : heavy top, skinny bottom. small waist, thick legs. (we wanna look cute too!) big arms and thighs. i think it’d be helpful to highlight more of the community other than skinny, wide and “regular”. love your content and evolution as a creator!

1-i live in madrid, it doesnt snow every year but it did last year 2-my 3 movies: a clockwork orange, the grave of the fireflies and parasite

[@emnoel7437]

I think 3 really good movies to watch this time of year are The Grinch live action because its a classic at this point, Begin Again with Mark Ruffalo (it is my comfort movie) and a studio ghibli movie , or some type of animation.

[@elijahtodd-walden3898]

I’ve been watching old films for the most part since I found a theater that runs them. I watched the Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974) which I had fun with, but it’s entirely in German, I’m going to go see Devil in a Blue Dress (1995, it has Washington and Cheadle in the lineup so I’m hyped) and Kagemusha (1980, I love Akira Kurosawas other movies so I gotta go) once I get back to college from the holidays. Hands down the best thing is to look back at the greats and see how they managed amazing shots with less technology.

[@switterbeet]

The only video we need about that topic

[@spider-migz460]

I really enjoy the science of breaking down an outfit with shapes. It kind of puts everything into perspective for me. But to recommend three movies you HAVE to watch in my opinion would be Gangs of New York, They Live, and finally the original Spider-Man from 2002 #postvidvid

I think that layering and the textures are also really important factors at the time of creating an outfit

[@joshdough1845]

here in aus it's abt 115f or 45c rn, so no snow imaoo. also, measuring the inleg/inseam is mad useful to get well-fitting pants. idk, kinda ties into proportions cause most people only measure length and waist.

[@dmshampton]

Great vid Drew. Here in CT it snowed last week, but all melted cause it was 50 degrees the very next day, it was pretty crazy. 3 movies: Its a wonderful life, Blade Runner, and Blade Runner 2049. Its a wonderful life is like THE Christmas movie in my mind, so if you haven't seen it, you def gotta watch it. BR and BR 2049 are my favorite movies ever. They're super artistic and well written, 2049 is straight up the most beautiful movie I've ever seen. They're pretty heady and slow tho, so its probably not something to watch with the fam.

[@TySoloMusic1]

Proportions is deffo key in any form of aesthetic, look or design. I realised this when I discovered I dont actually have a specific 'type' of women lookswise. I think woman all shapes and sizes are beautiful...whether skinny or thick - but what I noticed was i'd be subconsiously drawn to how good their body and face proportions are. I think that's what defines real beauty.

Maybe I was expecting a guide for what proportions and silhouettes look good for different body types. Most ppl say I dress good but I know I haven't found "my style" yet and I don't know how to apply what's being said. For example, if I'm that guy who creates bad unflattering proportions and silhouettes, how do I fix that?

[@jamesbunch8932]

The rule of thirds is also a thing in music. The proportion lines up with the so-called "Golden ratio." It's supposedly all over Debussy's music, it's certainly all over Bartok's.
