Proportions, Silhouette, & Body Type

0:00this week i asked a question on the

0:01community tab which of these two options

0:04are most important in personal styling

0:07silhouette

0:08or proportions and i asked about these

0:10two particular topics because they're

0:12often time referenced when relating to

0:15how you can improve a fit conversations

0:17around proportions and silhouette

0:19typically go like this oh bro the

0:20proportions on your outfit or

0:22proportions on that outfit are on point

0:24yo the silhouette and the makeup of this

0:26outfit is killer something along those

0:29lines but what does that actually mean

0:32like for real what does that mean so in

0:34today's video let's try to answer that

0:36question and foster a deeper

0:38understanding of silhouette and

0:40proportion with the goal of creating

0:42better outfits for those of you who

0:44don't know me my name is drew what ado

0:47let's get into today's video

0:49all right first let's break down the

0:50difference between the two terms

0:52silhouette is typically referred to as

0:55the overall shape that the clothing

0:57you're wearing makes up as it sits on

0:59your body i think one way to visualize

1:01this is to think about your outfit

1:03silhouette as kind of the shadow of your

1:06outfit what your outfit looks like if

1:08you were to flash a light on it and then

1:10the backdrop was the shadow of the

1:12outfit you see the shape you see how it

1:14forms and you typically see this type of

1:16silhouette constructed visual when it

1:19comes to dressmaking or in garment

1:21school

1:22garmin school fashion school

1:25it really is as simple as that and there

1:27are infinite number of silhouettes

1:29because there are infinite number of

1:31ways in which you can pull different

1:32pieces of outfits with different body

1:35types now proportions is often described

1:37as how lines and shapes divide up the

1:41sections of an outfit into different

1:43parts

1:44i'll explain so essentially it typically

1:46involves how the parts of an outfit look

1:50in relationship to one another for

1:52example a really simple example if

1:54you're wearing a tight fitting shirt and

1:57wide pants

1:58those two aspects of your outfit create

2:02particular proportions on the top half

2:04of the outfit and on the bottom half to

2:06create an overall silhouette and if you

2:08were to reverse the outfit and wear a

2:10tight fitting pair of pants with a very

2:13baggy shirt it creates an entirely

2:15different relationship between top and

2:17bottom half that totally changes the

2:19proportions and the silhouette in

2:21addition to that people oftentimes talk

2:23about the rule of thirds in fashion as

2:26it relates to creating a very

2:28aesthetically pleasing proportional

2:30outfit i know the rule of thirds is also

2:32in photography as well but we're talking

2:33about fashion so the rule of thirds in

2:35fashion is actually a borrowed concept

2:38from architecture and it states the most

2:40visually appealing division of spaces in

2:42architecture and in fashion typically is

2:45when you divide the space into three

2:47parts or i guess two parts where you

2:49have one third of the object or division

2:52of space taking up one part of it and

2:54then two-thirds of the other part taking

2:56up the other division of space hopefully

2:58that makes sense so you have one third

2:59section and then you have a two-third

3:01section the eiffel tower is a perfect

3:03example of this the eiffel tower has a

3:05beautiful contrast on the bottom one

3:07third compared to the top one third

3:09which bring your eyes to view it as

3:11something that's very aesthetically

3:13pleasing i don't want to bog you down

3:14with too many rules even though i just

3:16said one rule but we'll talk about that

3:17later when it comes to fashion you don't

3:19want to confine yourself too much in my

3:21opinion it's all about personal

3:23expression and styling but understanding

3:25these rules may help you understand why

3:27you know fernando rangal's fits or

3:29whoever's fits you look up to look so

3:31good proportionally and their silhouette

3:33looks so good compared to maybe your

3:35homeboy down the block whose fits don't

3:37really level up to some of these other

3:39people that you aspire to dress amongst

3:43and the rule of thirds is by no means

3:44the only way you can create a balanced

3:47outfit there are like i said so many

3:49different body types that lend itself

3:50forward

3:51total different stylings and total

3:53different proportions and silhouettes

3:55when it comes to personal styling

3:57now that you understand what silhouette

3:58and proportions are i think it's

4:00important to talk about the difference

4:02in the connection between the two so

4:03that when they're brought up in

4:04conversation you immediately know what

4:06someone is or isn't talking about i

4:08think a lot of you actually already get

4:10this when i brought up the poll a lot of

4:12you said well you can't have one without

4:14the other essentially and to put it as

4:16simply as i possibly can proportions

4:19make up the outfit so whether or not you

4:21have chunky shoes that changes the

4:22proportions wide fitting straight

4:24fitting skinny fitting pants your top do

4:27you layer your top do you have

4:28accessories all of these elements add to

4:31a level of proportions do you have bags

4:33all of them add to a level of

4:34proportions on the outfit now once you

4:36compile all of those different elements

4:38together and you stand back and you look

4:41at the outfit that's when you say okay

4:42how does the silhouette look right every

4:45outfit is going to have both proportions

4:47and silhouette no matter what you do

4:49even if you're naked you're going to

4:50have a silhouette and there's going to

4:51be proportions with how heavy or skinny

4:53you are speaking of heavier skinny i

4:56think body type is something that also

4:58plays a role into whether or not your

5:00outfit adheres itself better to one type

5:02of style type of pants type of clothing

5:05let's talk about how to improve your

5:07outfits so i added body types to the end

5:09of this title if it's still there i

5:11might change it at the last minute but i

5:12think body type is something incredibly

5:14important in relationship to personal

5:16styling and creating better outfits so

5:18no matter if you're tall short fat

5:20skinny wide thin big bone

5:23whatever there's a way in which you

5:24should go about how you dress yourself

5:27if you want to pull off some of the best

5:28outfits for your body type now of course

5:31if you're short tall fat skinny whatever

5:33these are by no means the only way you

5:35can dress yourself there's endless

5:37possibilities you can really go with

5:39whatever outfit you want to go with like

5:40i said style is a personal thing but i

5:42think that there might be some ways to

5:44improve your style so let's talk about

5:45it sorry we're rambling let's take a

5:47look at three body types first body type

5:49is regular through and through average

5:51body height average leg length average

5:53leg size and so on and so forth

5:55this body type tends to lend itself to

5:58many options when it comes to

5:59formulating an outfit

6:01you can see the rule of thirds applies

6:02nicely to the outfits shown on the

6:04screen each outfit flows nicely together

6:06and for the next body type someone who's

6:08a little bit wider i think the wider you

6:10are you can obviously play with more

6:13wider fitting pants to fill out some of

6:15that space that you have with these

6:17versions of personal styling wider

6:19fitting pants just is a much more fluid

6:21look but if you want to go with the

6:23tight fitting route be my guest i think

6:24it still can look good if done correctly

6:27and last but not least if you're someone

6:28who's a bit more lanky and tall this

6:31body type lends itself really nicely to

6:33straight or wide fitting pants the

6:35juxtaposition of something wide in the

6:37bottom and third or excuse me wide on

6:39the bottom third and something tighter

6:40on the top there it is really

6:41interesting when it comes to this type

6:43of personal styling

6:44but even with all of these examples like

6:46i said there's infinite ways to style

6:49yourself infinite types of clothing you

6:50can wear so have fun with it

6:53never feel confined or pressured to

6:55dress a certain way because of your

6:57particular body type no matter how large

6:59small tall skin whatever you are have

7:01fun with it like i said and when someone

7:03asks you what is proportions and what a

7:05silhouette hopefully you have a better

7:07idea now after you watch this video
