    I love that you talked about the pelvic tilt. I’m not even working at a desk job but still have it. I realised it after a few months in the gym because it caused back issues. To get rid of it, you have to strengthen your glute and abdominal muscles and stretch your lower back and hip stretcher.

    This is literally exactly what I needed. I really wanted to buy some new clothes and this helps so so so much thank you!! As someone who does not love my body, I have slowly realized that giving yourself outfits that look good on you and clothes that actually fit you really do a number for your mental health. I would try and force myself into clothes that just didnt look good (which has nothing to do with my weight or my beauty), but my body type!! This video is perfect, and teaches just that. Clothes are meant to make you feel good. If they are not doing that, you have the wrong clothes!!! All bodies are beautiful. Sending much love and thanks!!!

    This video gave me a whole new perspective on how to dress myself. As someone who has had a significant amount of weight gain I’ve really strayed from dressing how I want to because I think I’m not “skinny” enough to pull off an outfit. This video was really an eye opener and I’m definitely going to be more conscious about why I choose the clothes I wear!

  • @Jeshiae

    I love the fact that someone is doing this without defaulting to using the Kibbe system --- I've often used similar proportion-related language to describe how I put outfits together to other people. Once you understand your body, it is sooo much more fun to play with silhoettes and effects. For example, I have broad, muscular shoulders, which people often try to balance or minimize, but I've started really like that part of my body, so I wear things to emphasize that, which ends up giving a bit of a "power" aura that hardens my baby face a tad lol

      ​@@r.o3943there's nothing wrong with it, but it's more abstract. You can explain concepts of softness, angularity, emphasis, etc without the language provided by the kibbe body type system - and language unburdened by that also makes these concepts easier to understand, in my opinion.

I love how you have explained all the elements of different shapes in such a non negative way! I will be watching this again with my pre teen daughter, as this is the kind of thing I want her to grow up understanding - that there is nothing "wrong" with any part of her body, she just needs to be able to understand it and then embrace her own unique shape. Thank you

    Ι have a colleague who has an exceptionally long torso and short legs. She doesn't try to hide it. Instead, she has all her pants tailored to emphasize her slender, long waist. Gee, the effect is phenomenal. You'd notice her beautiful, elegant long waist from 100 yards away. Of course you notice her short legs too, but you immediately forget about it, because the slender, graceful waist becomes something that defines her in your mind.
    So thank you for making this video to help us learn how to dress for our body shapes. I'd go a step further to say that, do not feel ashamed for your natural shape and try very hard to compensate it. You'd lose who you are along the way. Instead, focus on creating a personal vibe and dress to emphasize your strength, because that's what defines you and impresses people.

My hips are narrow, I have a short torso and long legs, I have slightly protruding ribs and not much waist definition.

And the points you made about how working out will never give us girlies with short torsos the same "look" as people with longer torsos - it was definetly something I needed to hear, even tho its pretty self explainatory, but still, it means so much to hear that there's an actual reason for it and not just because I "don't workout enough" or that I need to just "go on a stricter diet" to obtain that result.

      if you can bother to take the pic as she described in the video, you can also take your head and measure how many heads long your torso is. It could also be that your rise (=from waist to crotch) is shorter than average which would mean that in total your torso is still 'short'. (Average apparently is 2heads from chin to waist and 1head from waist to crotch) Also if your legs are longer than average then within your body proportions your torso would still be proportionally "short"

    Thank you Asia for an amazing video. It is clear to see you've been doing the work for yourself and what a gift that is to share it here in such a caring and compassionate way. You understand how volatile the relationship with the body can be and I am so glad I clicked on your video. I am beginning to explore my relationship with fashion and dressing myself in a way that expresses who I am.
    Hearing you speak and giving such solid advice makes me feel so much clearer. For the first time in a long time I can say I actually feel excited about dressing MY body. Thank you so so much I really needed to hear this ❤❤❤

    This video was so informative and for the longest time because I was a bit taller than average ( 5'7"), I thought my height was the most important, but what you said about proportions makes so much more sense. I get frustrated because I find it so difficult to shop to my proportions. I have a short torso, long legs, a full bust, narrow hips, and slightly broader shoulders. Finding out what looks good has been my struggle for years and I'm in my mid-twenties and still haven't figured it out! It kinda affects my confidence a little because I've sorta given up and just thrown on whatever now even though I don't feel my best.

    I was really hoping you’d make a part two of your last video as it had me pondering about my body proportions. So I’m grateful that I took a lot of insightful information!
    I’m so thankful you shared the information of shoulders as I would always wonder and get annoyed as to why shoulder bags, relaxed bras and spaghetti straps would ALWAYS fall off me! I thought I was always broad shouldered but it actually doesn’t seem so.
    I look forward to more helpful fashion videos like this as it’s helping a lot of people like me who want to understand their bodies better!

    So true what you said about instinctively being aware of your body shape. I always have the same problems with where clothing fits too tight, but it's become so normalized (and frustrating) to expect those issues with clothes.

    Understanding nothing about your body is good or bad, but simply is - so important. Body/facial features are simply elements of design that have no inherent positive or negative. Wood isn't better than marble or vice versa. Nor are watercolors better than pastels. It's all about learning the specific qualities they possess and using them to create something interesting and/or beautiful. Discovering that truth really helped me become kind to and accepting/appreciative of my body, as well as put together a wardrobe I feel good about.

    I can't stress enough how much this video is AMAZING. It's all about body neutrality and it gave me so much confidence. I'm also an artist, I work with character design, and when designing characters we have to be careful about proportions a lot. Your video not only helped me in my work, in understanding human anatomy better, but how to style my characters and MYSELF better as well. Thank you so much for this

    @aleksandrareena7538 Před 10 měsíci +6

    Great one, thank you. As you said I’ve already had subconscious understanding of my body but didn’t acknowledged consciously that I have a long torso. I used just to think that my legs are short and my bottom is quite too low, which I considered as a big disadvantage since I’m quite tall. Now I’m focused on the fact that long torso can have its benefits
    It would be also great if you showed an examples of clothing that fits best for these cases, at least in you.
    Thank you!

I have been so confused as to why and never understood how those two are connected until now and now I feel much more comfortable with how my body looks.

  • @naftherainbownerd
    @naftherainbownerd Před 10 měsíci

    I want to give you a big hug! Ive grown up being shamed for my body because i wasn't as skinny as my peers/siblings, so talking about my body has always been a touchy issue for me. I had also stopped caring about fashion because i didn't really feel good with what i was wearing. And this sucked because i am a huge fan of self-expression and it really bothered me that i couldn't express myself in a medium where people will perceive me the most. Seeing this video helped me a lot in understanding my body and not look at it with all the trauma i have associated with it. And the way you talked about bodies was the positivity i needed today.
    I'm plus sized but my body proportions are very similar to yours so I'll be looking for fashion inspo from you (I wouldn't have ever done this before because since you're skinny, i would've automatically brushed your body type off for my fashion inspo). I'm so glad i found your channel! 💕

  • @whithehearthro

    I loved the way you worded everything! I am plus size and I’ve been on a journey with clothes for years! I’ve always been a fashion girl but hated how so many things looked on me. I always thought it was because I was bigger but when I started finding clothes that were cut better for my body I feel in love with myself in them. I am still learning what I like on myself and I am always back and forth about the torso thing… and the broad shoulders thing haha 😂 but I’ll figure it out one of these days.

    This was so amazing, thank you! I would love to see more like this, particularly if you could go more in depth about what types of outfits look best on each body type! I watched your other video about fixing your outfits and while it was really cool to see the changes, I found it hard to translate to myself (I have a short torso like you, but wide hips so that's opposite of you). Some of us could use all the guidance we can get, lol! Thanks for the great videos!
