Proportions, Silhouette, & Body Type

50 Comments

1. As a short guy is it possible to do that with normcore, cowboy/workwear aesthetic, and old money fashion, cos that’s my kinda style but I feel like with short guys there not much wiggle room, with silhouettes and the rule of 3rds, someone give me some advice, and btw I’m about 5’8, 5’9 and my body type is a mesomorph/ecto and one other troubling thing I have with buying clothes is my arms and legs are usually shorter than the actual garment itself, but my shoulders are wider than most 5’8 guys so I have to wear large to fit my shoulders but they never fit my arms, same goes with my waste, I have a 32 waist and my leg length is about a 30, just so annoying

2. New sub here! I watched the entire video hoping you’d speak on shorter people and fit suggestion. I’m 5’7 athletic build and was wondering what you’d recommend for proportions?

3. 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!

5. 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)

6. Been hard to find clothing that actually fits and looks good on me. Short legs, short arms, and big thick legs, ass, and arms/chest. Most of the time I just throw on a graphic tee or a basic boxy tee and some joggers, but really want to try wearing different things. I used to be big into skinny jeans, but that was before I started lifting. Nowadays, I can’t find any jeans that I can actually fit into without looking ridiculous. People in my circles love stores like Uniqlo and their EZ pants and more modern cuts, but whenever I try these on, the waist might fit well but the leg area that is supposed to be big and loose ends up being tight on my thighs. Truly a frustrating experience… lol

7. This video is too well made to just be listened to. It would be a mistake to not watch this video. As a photographer I’ll say the rule of thirds is very much integrated into us to the point it is genetic. and is a part of nature itself. Golden ratio

16. What about athletic build with wide shoulders and tapered body

17. I’ve definitely dressed 1/2 and 1/2 instead of using the rule of thirds, I notice a huge difference. My main issue is finding affordable pants that have a higher rise. Most pants I find are like 9-10” inseam which is almost impossible to pull up to your bellybutton. Any recommendations?

24. The rule of thirds is actually in *everything*. "If you understand 3 6 9 then you understand the universe" -Nikola Tesla
    It’s a very very ancient concept in humans that the 3rds times the charm

31. Omg this is so well explained

32. 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.

33. What if you’re short slim and have giant feet?

34. The proportion is so important, I had tested a jacket but I found that something was wrong with, It gave the impression that I was fat when I was thin 😂

36. 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.

37. Sucks when your proportions are nothing like these people. Basically gotta get custom clothes.

42. for body type, does height matter or is it the width?

43. I love this

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

45. I’m 5’2” (120) so finding clothes that fit my height and style (just slightly more masc) is ridiculously hard. I struggle most with finding coats that aren’t too long, cuz everything I like style wise was made for a full grown man. I also was super disappointed when I found out that the Dickies straight cut slacks we too narrow for my thighs, I had no mobility at all. If this sounds anything like you, plz feel free to reply with some pointers or brands that have worked for you

46. 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.
