If you were cooler 😅 you are so cool, Alyssa! And in a genuine way, not in an attention seeking way. You’re cool, in part, because you love what you do, know what you love, and are so knowledgeable and thoughtful. Someone to admire 💛 thank you for these lessons in styling, they are so helpful!

@notaclue822 7 месяцев назад

This stuff is so important. You don't always think about it when you're shopping for clothes. Those big oversized shackets and lots of other oversized items are really having a moment, and they're tricky to wear when you're a small person. You've got long legs and even so you work around the shortening effect of some silhouettes. Thanks Alyssa, great content.

@AlyssaBeltempo 7 месяцев назад

Great point about thinking about proportions while shopping! x

@cjack-caldeira3363 7 месяцев назад

Love this video! Great explanation and examples. I’m 5’4”. I have trouble with my blazers. I have several black “basic” blazers that Range from ending an inch below waist, to 6 inches below waist, to over sized that ends 14 inches below the waist. Which one to wear with the difference bottom has been a challenge. This video helps a little with the issue. Would love to see more about these blazers with different bottoms Thanks so much for your insights

Pulling out a piece or two a week of maybes as an ongoing edit as you suggested. This video about proportions gives me another tool. I just watched it again today to help me through the process. It's a bit of meditative time, doing something both creative, purposeful, and something for me. Can relate to the geography (today's live video) not meshing with one's style. I live in Victoria BC, grew up spending a lot of time in Paris and Rome where my mom gave each of us girls outfits great thought before we went out. I decided tension is the way to go for me, Thank you for all the lessons I can ruminate on.

Love those light-wash jeans. I just bought some in a similar silhouette.

SAVED!!!! This one was particularly helpful for me, Alyssa. I was wearing the oversized sweater, bulky jeans and white sneakers yesterday and was thinking I don’t know why people say not to wear baggy jeans with chunkier sneakers, I think it looks pretty cute. And wore it anyway-and felt great in it all day. And now I know why. And I think these principles will come in extra handy for me going forward with my wardrobe….and trusting my instincts. THANK YOU!!

Thank you Alyssa, - I always look forward to your posting on Sundays, I take on your ideas and apply to my own clothes - I have a list of outfits that i add to, inspired by you. Proportion is for me one of those things that doesn't come naturally - I see it when you show an example but often I know when something is off on me, but don't know why. I am getting so much better at putting outfits together thanks to your videos.

This is so great!!! Could you do a similar one with summer outfit? I feel it’s harder to do these with summer clothes because there’s limited layering…

@erinatsurround78 7 месяцев назад

I really dug this more technical breakdown - as well as the honest truth of trial and error and the results which come from experimentation. Being curious is really valuable!

@melaniemcneil407 7 месяцев назад

Friday I tried on 3 prs of midrise, straight-leg jeans at the consignment store. Two of them were slim to me around the hips and thighs; one pair fell slightly lower on my waist and was barely looser around the hips and thighs. To me, that pair looked better. Now I realize that was dependent on the shirt I wore to try them on, which was also slim against my body. Either way, I'm happy with the pair I bought and expect to use them a lot -- $14 was a good purchase!

@AlyssaBeltempo 7 месяцев назад

a great purchase! And yes - the shirt makes a big difference!

@reallifelove 7 месяцев назад

I really appreciate your knowledge and especially your approach that advocates for conscious, intelligent and fun exploration and discovery - such a strong contrast to a lot of bad advise one stumbles on elsewhere (e.g., "never use more than two colors at once" and similar BS). I enjoy your videos a lot and find them very inspiring. Thanks!

@cltinturkey 7 месяцев назад

Great lessons! I hope you'll continue with proportion videos, including tops and dresses or skirts. I'm always a fan of zzzhzzing(sp?). By that, I means the tweaks and adjustments you make. You have a master's eye for those. While I see your points on tucking pants into boots for a more dynamic look, I'm always going to be a fan of long, lean legs with the same color footwear, ideally with a pointed toe. From some of your earlier videos, I'll never get the capri or above-the-ankle pant look. You're the expert, but those are not for me. Thanks, as always, for sharing your great eye with us!

@katem3961 7 месяцев назад

This was excellent, Alyssa. Proportions of outfits are always an issue for me at 5'1. I totally agree with the comments you made of the black jeans, they hit you in an odd spot as they shorten your legs visually but when you tucked them into your metalic boots your vertical line increased, at least to my eye. Gosh, are they your metallic flats you once tried to recolour silver? Did you end up getting them done professionally or continued to do yourself? I always loved those shoes 😊 Thank you for such an informative, professional master class in proportion ❤

@lizp.6585 7 месяцев назад

@soulexplorer76 6 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed this video!! Very informative and educational 🤓I would love to see more like this! I would also love to see you style other types of body shapes and get tips and info on how to adjust proportions depending on what shape one is. I've seen a lot of comments under this video coming from petite girls and women who seem to face challenges in finding how to style their clothes and find the right proportions. I am not petite but being a mid-sized slight hourglass type of figure also comes with its set of challenges. Tucking in a t-shirt or a jumper/sweater at the front of the waistline doesn't seem to work for me: from the front it broadens my hips and from the side it enhances my stomach 😕 Oversized can also be tricky... So general tips and ideas on how to adapt styles and silhouettes and zhuzh up an outfit depending on body shape would be greatly appreciated! ☺ Btw please don't feel that you're not cool. When you in your latest DITL video casually mentioned that you might go for an aperitivo with a friend at a nice hotel lounge it made so much sense because you're that kind of cool girl who does that 😎 Just as one example 😊 💜🌺

Thank you for your insights into improving our fashion understanding and confidence. I really appreciated the column idea to dressing for individuals modest about their waist area. I just struggle with living in Calgary (cold) but teaching kindergarten (running around all day in my 50’s) and managing my body temperature comfortably with two shirts-getting too cold then too hot and losing the cohesiveness of the outfit by removing a layer, thus exposing my tummy area anyway…Challenging!!!

Hi Alyssa, I love when you show examples of the proportion factors (that are more profound than just rules!)! I have a variety of tight/loose clothes that I could do better playing with, and I don’t always take my shoes into account by outfit aside from weather and perhaps color… Hey, how about that spin-off video on proportions for indoor work-from-home outfits with indoor shoe shapes replacing bunny slippers or bare feet/socks only?

@thestyletti7045 7 месяцев назад

I appreciate that your channel is about styling rather than the selling of clothing. I understand why people do it, but it is not at all helpful for me. Your presentations, on the other hand, are really valuable. I am going on a trip for 2 1/2 weeks to Europe. I have to be dressed very stylishly, but I can’t bring 5 suitcases. I have been having trouble with making outfits because my coats are oversized, and my shoes are also similar. I have matched colors for my tops and bottoms in order to disguise what I feel are short legs and a long torso (it bugs me), but I hadn’t given thought to your brilliant way of looking at proportions. I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to see this video and to you for making it!

@CJay-q9f 7 месяцев назад

Alyssa, within seconds your intro had me excited and ready for 'school'. Great video! I loved your explantions and examples. I'm petite and not very curvy, so the first thing I noticed was that the heftier contrasting belts tends to take over make your waist appear larger compared to your hips, not something that would benefit me. It was fun to see how quickly tiny tweeks can make such a huge difference. Also, the chunkier boots looked great or gigantic depending on, again, the tweeks. Lots of good lessons! Question to ask myself, when I'm in front of a mirror...Is it Cohesive, Interesting or just Off? When the video ended, my thought was, "Oh, No! It's over already?" Thank you for putting this together. More please.

Thank you for seeing into the future and reading my mind. Lol. Kidding. As a non-straight size wearer and petite-height person I feel like the vast majority of clothes secondhand, fast fashion or more sustainable are not made with the needs of my body in mind. I also almost exclusively wear flats. 🎉Because of and with the help of your channel and your considered, thoughtful, inclusive and wonderful work I have been able to learn to dress and expect differently from my clothes. Because of my specific needs, proportions might be where I put the most effort in. Please keep doing what you are doing. And please be so very proud of yourself today and every day.
