Hello and welcome! This is a whopper of a video! But I couldn't find anywhere else where I could trim the fat. So here it is, an extensive intro to the the Yin/Yang Method. If you've never heard of this method before or you're new to my channel, this approach is designed to help you a truly custom wardrobe. Now there's so much more that I plan on elaborating on, but I thought it was very necessary to put together a video for those of you who are green to this method.
I love this method for a few different reasons. First, I truly feel that it can be adapted by anyone no matter what your body composition or facial characteristics are, which makes for a very inclusive experience. Next is that it includes your essence (these are your non-physical traits)....and when properly expressed, the head-to-toe look is sure to be 100% YOU!

This has been one of the best and least confusing guides on the topic. What turns me off about the kibbie system is the constant use of the words “feminine” and “masculine”. Although not inaccurate of what yin and yang represent, many have negative connotations with being described as such. Especially as a guy (im a gamine) i have to admit i felt a bit insecure being repeatedly told I’m the opposite of masculine, manly and strong. I’m sure it rings true for women as well, when the descriptions of what we ought to be dont correlate with what we are. This felt more inclusive and i appreciate the conscious phrasing of making each type not sound like a “wrong” one to be. I know I’m not the usual viewer or consumer of the topic (mostly women talk about this in relation to other women), but I’d love to understand more about how it correlates to men & how to dress for each type. Men’s fashion media (RU-vid, ig, reddit) needs help, its all the same cookie cutter rules and outfits. Getting yelled at with discount codes and being guilted into (because 🙋‍♀️👩women🤩💁‍♀️ dont 🙅‍♀️want men who x or y) buying this or doing that gets old. I wanna dress for me and feel good about me. The peak of mens fashion is jeans and a shirt 👖👔 it has less spice than water Please we are starving

Whoa! Thank you so so much for this amazingly honest feedback! I completely agree with everything you said. And YES I do want to dive into some men’s style here soon. I happen to see what you’re seeing.....lack of actual authenticity in men’s wardrobe suggestions because you’re supposed to put forward some sort of front. BOR-ING! So I watch a variety of YT content and a male that I’ve found to be pretty inspiring with authentic style is Andrew Schultz....he’s a comedian who does a podcast called Flagrant 2. Whether you like his comedy or not, he’s a pretty good example of someone who dresses in harmony with his body type and essence. Like this look.....(air kiss) so creative and in harmony with him! Love how he’s not afraid to experiment and honoring his essence makes the total package attractive....because it’s honest 😉 At 1:14:00 they do a little “fashion show”. I dunno....I think it’s worth checking out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iWkfNpfrQUk.html Anyways, thanks for tuning in and hopefully I can get started on making some content geared towards males so you guys aren’t in a plain white T, jeans, and a watch bore-fest 🤘🏻

@dp2404 3 года назад

My husdband is a gamine and I am a natural. So we are both stereotyped with the opposite sex. I understand what you are saying. Wording can be important. The reality is: 1- there is nothing wrong with having some elements that are more tipycal of the opposite sex, both phisically and mentally 2- gamine men can be very masculine if they want to (and very sexy if you ask me) and natural women can be very feminine. Body typing should just be helpful for choosing clothes, not define us. Glad to see a men interested in the subject! 😀

the presence of yin and yang in architecture, landscaping and DANCE helps so much to understand this concept in body types. By the way, Tango is originally a dance for two men, so it is originally 100% YANG

How interesting!!! I had no idea that it was originally a male:male dance! How cool to know.....thanks for sharing!

How life-changing this information could be to a young girl coming through puberty? It has been so helpful to me at age 60! If we could accept our body types and learn to dress according to our personhood, we would be less open to suggestions that we don’t fit into our own body. You make me want to learn more and go volunteer at schools to talk to young girls. Wouldn’t it be fun to take a small group of girls to a thrift store and help them find some outfits that work with their body and essence?

@kaylakunkel783 3 года назад

Could you do series of each archetype who want certain styles but to their essence? For example, I'm a FN, but like chic, minimalist looks. Maybe other FNs like preppy styles. How could each type wear different styles in their essence?

@Crewelperleology 3 года назад

Now you've emerged!! Your analysis of Lucy Liu's lines and essence is illuminating. Your particular method of using the concepts of yin and yang, to delineate one's style and intangible energy is brilliant and entirely reasonable. No more boxing individuals into a few simplistic types alone. You demonstrate an acuity in this realm that I believe for me, will be far more effective and relevant than mere Kibbe typing. Thank you Elyssa 🙇🏻‍♀️

Belly dancing is also a great example of an extreme yin dance style- even the historical origins express this, as it is supposed that it developed as a way for pregnant women to open up the hips to prepare for childbirth. Swing dancing seems to express a very Gamine yin essence to me.

This is fascinating! I’m SC, so mainly yin. Just realized I have created a garden that is also yin apart from a couple of elements recommended by a garden designer which are yang! Which now explains why ‘formal’ gardens don’t appeal to me - they’re all about structure and straight lines - yang.

@elyssa_aesthetic 3 года назад

Haley Powell bwahahah sometimes it just has to be said 😆

@haleypowell9060 3 года назад

Elyssa I’m pretty confident that I’m a soft natural and I’m trying to start curating my wardrobe, but I’m looking at where I’m starting and OY VEY

@elyssa_aesthetic 3 года назад

Haley Powell my unsolicited advice.....start with simple silhouettes. Find a pair of staple jeans in the proper cut and one or two tops that are complimentary. Starting with silhouettes feels less overwhelming based on my experience.

@haleypowell9060 3 года назад

Elyssa spot on! A lot of my inspiration revolves around the laid back, classic minimalist style (like the video you made!) and the cut of the jeans is key. It’s funny that I’m a soft natural bc I find I’ve been gravitating towards those lines for a while. Thank you for your help! I’m eager to see what else you have in store!

This video essay is amazing !!! I’m a flamboyant gamine and actually have accepted that I fall into the gamine essence since I was a child even, with a little bit of classic essence. It’s so empowering to know this and take it as a strength rather than.... say, wanting to be something more delicate. Having Yang in your body/essence is beautiful too 💕

@Soldrakenn 2 года назад

As a dramatic with a not so severe personality I have a hard time finding clothes. I never ever wore monocromatic looks before realising I'm a dramatic... Because I find it really boring to just wear one (dark) color, it doesn't suit my essence. But it's really hard to find clothes that are dramatic in the cut and fabric while being playfull and artistic in color and/or pattern. Really, really, REALLY forking hard.

@elyssa_aesthetic 3 года назад

Dennice Cisneros my sister in law is in a similar boat. She essentially has a yang body with a very yin face and she’s almost 6 feet tall. I feel like dramatics can definitely pull through “weird and unusual” with ease! Accessories are your friend when it comes to pulling through the quirky elements....as well as color stories!

@yensid4294 3 года назад

This was really interesting. I have a few books on Style Types but they mainly focused more on personal style even in their quizzes. My answers were usually all over the place but fell mainly in the Natural/Romantic range because I like soft, comfortable clothes that don't impede my ability to move & low maintenence hair. I have some other books that focused more on the lines of your silhouette without the spiritual yin/yang language--just went from straight to curved & covered everything inbetween as well as scale(prints, buttons, piping, weight of material) &amount of contrast that was most harmonious to your silhouette/coloring (if harmony is desired of course) It was very helpful to analyze clothing in this way since I had training in art/design already. I think it's just difficult to be objective about ourselves & being asked if something is round or sharp, short or long, etc with nothing to compare to is, well, ridiculous. I don't know if my shoulders are broad --compared to what? That was my issue with the Kibbe Test. I happen to have small hands & large feet, how was I supposed to answer that question lol? I think your videos explain everything very well & I really enjoy watching them as a visually oriented person it's nice to see all the examples you deconstruct in your analysis.

@elyssa_aesthetic 3 года назад

Wow I really really appreciate this feedback!!! I’m so glad I can be helpful 💛 There’s definitely more to cover as far as line and silhouette but I felt like it was best to give this very basic outline so beginners have a better idea of where to start. Glad it helped you out!

@anitaclemens2609 3 года назад

Do these characteristics change over the years? I am thinking of Baby Boomers who might have been young, bouncy and slim in their twenty's who are now much older maybe more serious and thicker around the middle. Do you have any examples of people as they age and what happens? How much should their fashion change? Are they still in their original category?

@IGibbyyy 3 года назад

i think the consensus has always been that your body type doesnt/shouldnt change because it should be largely focused on bone structure, so weight gain/loss shouldn't make a difference (but its not uncommon for people to lose weight and discover they are a bit more angular than they thought) However, your essence can change- essence is much more fluid and can change frequently, so you would stick with your original body type but add more yin/yang to suit your essence i personally think as you age, you should pay a bit more attention to your vertical lines! the older people get (especially mums), the more they seem to want to wear wider and longer lines?? LOL

@leanaaymorejacob1211 3 года назад

Dear Risa, could you speak a little more about yin/yang in Tribal Fusion? I'm a belly dancer too, but with little info on TF. Thanks a lot! 🤩

@risanaomi4958 3 года назад

@@leanaaymorejacob1211 As far as I can tell, much of Tribal Fusion dance is a Masculine version of a feminine art form... so it is still fundamentally deeply feminine, but much tribal fusion technique can get super technical with super fine precision with all movements especially the arms (whereas arms aren't too much of a central focus in traditional bellydance). I see a lot more women with different body types in fusion also... for much of traditional bellydance, I do sense that some curviness and weight actually is needed to get the full affect of the art form. In TF however, you see a lot more variance on body types, with many huge fusion superstars having quite athletic figures with little body curve or fat (not that having one body type is necessary, I just mean for the flexibility of this particular branch itself). I think this is because much of the range of movement is in the extreme muscle technicality, and so having juicy flesh isn't as necessary to achieve stunning visual affect. In this way, it's a little more androgynous... you even see some men here and there pulling off tribal fusion pretty decently. Again, I think for this reason.

I wear TR lines but with a little bit of quirkiness. For example, a top which is tight and cinched into my waist and has a pattern with ducks on it. Just a hint of quirk otherwise it's just too much.

Perfect! This is exactly what I’m talking about 🤗

I do something similar with SD lines (I'm an SD) -- I wear bright colours or fun, big patterns to honour my Ingenue undercurrent. My essence is a combo of dramatic-romantic-classic-ingenue, tbh.

This is the first time I'm hearing about this methodology in styling and it MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!! Do these 'adjectives' apply to men as well? Would be great to see a breakdown of this for men! If you know anybody doing this please recommend! I'll be searching for it now myself. Thank you for the work you do!

@elyssa_aesthetic 3 года назад

They do apply to men! Currently working on a men’s video😉

Elyssa is very good. The RU-vid channel Style by Rita also has a whole series for men as well which is really well done. Worth checking out. It actually helped me find my essence

@ellend7404 3 года назад

great work on the video ( though I find the chart a bit confusing as I find the dynamic playful moxiemore of a lighter yang than an actual Yin essence... from my reading of the earlier books).

happy to have discovered this video. i am commenting 5 mins in and am already impressed. . Your case studies of Charlie's Angels is cute but I am wondering if your analysis and methodology will apply to me as a petite busty and curvy Black women i will revert and give my conclusions.

Thank you so much for this video and for giving credit to the 2 creators of this method. I started reading McJimsey's book it is really interesting. Recently I am really disappointed by kibbe who is changing his categories and moving people in other category and leaving us with more questions . Anyway thank you for making those precious information available for us.

Yeah her book covers a lot of the basics...it’s great! I think for me, it’s just matter of finding our own yin/yang....whatever we call it! I think I got too deep into making an archetype my identity. We’re more complex than a handful of archetypes. McJimsey have clear directions to use the archetypes as a basis for comparison and to see where we can find particular attributes so we can better understand how to express ourselves authentically through our wardrobe. I just can’t wait to keep making videos covering this topic so there’s so light shed (and hopefully some relief) for those who are still struggling✨

Elyssa: "Drew Barrymore has a small waist" Me: *takes off imaginary glasses and peers into screen "Where?" lol. Love this video and agree with everything else. I'm glad to see your channel has grown so fast!!

@elyssa_aesthetic 3 года назад

Hahahaha I feel like it’s more of an exaggerated curve than a “small waist” 🙈 She actually has such a unique balance. She’s not the typical romantic. I feel likes there’s a hint of natural somewhere in there 👀 Further investigation may be necessary 🧐

I can see how this method works in a way. I just think there's more to it. Perhaps all the methods combined would work best. I looked at Drew Barrymore and saw fellow Piscean in her style. The soft demeanor yet chameleon at times, boho once, goddess next. It seems this method is mostly about how you feel about. I have hard time to picture myself in one or two categories and if so I feel I'm the two opposites. My style is changing with age. Being 45 I changing my style from low key, casual, sporty into more classical. Generally I think there's no right or wrong, if you feel comfortable and confident .... wear it.

I love your video and hard work! But i have to say, the hand movements really REALLY distracted me that i had to cover them to continue the video. I couldn't focus unless i did that. Anyways great job!

You are so good, you deserve to be super famous. It pains me to see you don't have over million followers, after all the deep analysis you do and new content you're providing us. (thank you so much!!) If you can afford it, try to invest on better front lighting, better quality camera and microphone. It will make a difference. - The light behind you is eye tiring for viewers, even though nothing will stop us from learning from you. - You gave us so much, I thought I share what would benefit you too. I hope it's ok. :)

@elyssa_aesthetic 3 года назад

Oh thank you so much! I’m actually working on putting together a mew filming space with better lighting and pleasing background. Thank you so much for the helpful feedback! It shows that you care and I really appreciate that!

@imbilta 3 года назад

@@elyssa_aesthetic Thank you for your reply. I will continue to learn from you and wishing you all the best in your new filming space. Everything will come together fine. :)
