Sometimes you get that feeling that some type of clothes just don’t look right on you, and is very unflattering to your body. I think this is because of three things, cut, clinginess, and volume. So let’s talk about it.

Thank you for this positive spin in “dress according to your body type”.
We’re creators with our fashion choices, we shouldn’t aim to look all the same shape ❤
You inspire me lots, Mustards ❤
EXACTLY!! let's experiment and have fun and be bold
just watched the body type series on her channel the other day, just perfect timing for this video. Also love the concept of not always wanting to balance everything out of your body shape.
glad you liked it!! and yes, balance is boring hah! love x
It’s incredibly ridiculous that people critique your photos on social media!! 😓 No one asked for their opinions to begin with!! 😒 Like you said, people are so focused on looking “proportionate” or like an “hourglass figure”, and it’s a very outdated / conformist / narrow way of thinking.
You are absolutely gorgeous and artistically inspiring, I love the way YOU approach getting dressed, and I would really appreciate hearing more of what you have to say / suggest on this topic! ❤❤ Xox!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ !!!!
I personally go for all skintight and I think the all-black outfit with the short skirt is my favourite on you too! I've realised through your video that all my favourite outfit combos are because they highlight the waist. The whole pear/apple/hourglass/whatever thing never really made sense for me because I don't really fit into any of the categories. So it was much more helpful and interesting to hear your take on how certain clothing types have an effect on how your body looks :)
oh love that! and yes, i love highlighting my waist too 🥰❤️
oooh, I have a new rabbit hole for you, now, that you mention the body types ❤ have you heard of the Kibbe body types and the Kitchener essences?
Its all about how fabric drapes around your body, so you feel comfortable in your own skin and know which cut and fabric, stiffness and so on makes which proportion and effect. So nothing about looking like everybody else or 'balanced' but comparing yourself within your own body, not to others. And the Kitchener essences are more about the vibe you give off, from mostly your face, your gesture and mimic. Its so interesting and helped me A LOT to understand my body and why I look completely strange and off in some clothes. It lead me to experimenting more with various styles and I feel waaaay better in my skin now. I look more like 'me' - I also highlight my shoulders, long arms, long legs, big hands and every roundness I have. More draping, nothing stiff...😎I could talk about it all day..
Aly Art and Ellie Jean Roden make awesome UA-cam videos about that. I typed myself as a Soft Dramatic, maybe you are a dramatic too? :)
As someone who has an extremely similar body type I love these videos! I spent a huge part of my teenage and adult years trying to camouflage my 'undesirable' features because teenagers are cruel. Now as I reach my 30s I've realised that those are some of my personal favourite features about myself so I'm too busy making it everyone's problem. Thanks for fueling the fire 🔥
High key Jenny you have the type of body I’d make paintings and sculptures of-you are gorgeous!! Your lithe frame, angles and long limbs are very unique 💖 I hope it doesn’t come off weird I’m speaking from a mind that loves to draw and paint and from an artist perspective I pay you these honest compliments
Actually, I don't think you are pear-shaped, you look like an hourglass because your shoulders balance your hips. In a pear shaped person, the hips would look much larger/bigger than the shoulders.
I agree. She's no pear.
Yes! Many people think hourglass = busty, when in reality it’s defined by shoulders having the same width has the hips. Pears also tend to have bigger thighs and/or legs, even when they are thin, which I don’t think is the case for Jenny, who is tall with very slender hips and legs : visually, not “bottom heavy” at all.
(I realise it’s weird to discuss someone’s body so closely, but I think it might be helpful for people who have a similar frame).
I've always had this doubt! Is the comparison made with the bust or the shoulders? Same body shape here, but without the super long legs C:
@@angeles381 yes. I used to watch her videos years ago and in one of them she said she was a pear. I was like, wtf, but I didn't know enough about body types at the time and left it alone even though I thought it was wrong. Now, years later, she still seems to think that. I have no idea why she does, maybe she was informed wrong about what being a pear actually means or maybe she has body dysmorphia.
@@lauragoreni3020She has body dysmorphia, she has eating disorders.
Great Video! But: wide hips? I doubt it 😅
I love your advice and outfits - would also love to see a range of examples on different body types. Thank you for the work and grace you share.
You are very dramatic, sharp and narrow. I think anything that reflects that in some kind of way will look good on you. your advice in this video is good for someone with a similar build but will not work for example for some who is more rounded and petit. But I completely agree we should highlight our qualities instead of hiding them and label them as imperfections.
Absolutely love this video Jenny. I hate when people say you should do this or that to look this way or another. I personally agree with you on the oversized style looking so cool although I am basically the opposite of your body type. Some people might think I sometimes look like a leprechaun, but then again - I think I would make a good one 🤷♀️. Style is so much about how you want to express yourself. I think it’s time to stop dressing for others, it really should be about who we want to be.
leprechauns are gorge ❤️❤️❤️
My god you're so indescribably fine, it really helps your self image perspective knowing those that one may think couldn't find something wrong on their body have the same problems with themselves. Looking from the inside out seems so hazy in comparison to the opposite. btw you're seriously one of the most beautiful people ive ever seen, I hope you remember to feel that way :)
i usually go for tight top/loose bottom or vice versa but other than that i go for all loose and not all tight very often. i love having my shoes or socks being a highlight and i love a good hoodie/coat to pop out, sometimes a mask or hat. I love having good sunglasses and jewelry too, specifically multiple necklaces and rings. I like having no colour or all aggressive colour and mismatching laces or mixing styles (ex: vintage feminine with combat style) and I adore having an incredibly unique piece (I have balaclavas that have bunny like ears). Ive never been one for trends so I tend to float around many styles.
I love when jenny makes these videos. They are so iconic i watch them multiple times overtime. Thank you for this!
Your vids completely changed my perspective on how I go about dressing my body! Let’s celebrate the unique and quirky aspects, and yes whatever you want to celebrate can be different for everyone! Thank you so much and I would love another video on patterns☺️
I love this kind of videos, because it is always nice and refreshing to be reminded that bodies come in all shapes an sizes, and we are allowed to show them off even if our bodies (and/or our aesthetics) don't align with what society defines we should or should not wear.
‘I’m gonna own it and be happy with what I’ve got’ - yes Jenny! I love that you are actually leading by example - you genuinely believe this and I love your style! Years ago I began accepting certain features I have but I still struggle to dress in a way that accentuates the features I like. It’s always hit and miss 😂. This and your other videos on this topic are very helpful frameworks - thank you!!
I love your tips! I feel like we don’t experiment enough with our wardrobe always going for what the trends tell us and we end up with clothes we don’t feel great in it 😢
Thank you for this! I love tight tops and large bottom ( for now it’s what I’m comfortable with , because I’m a rectangles shape I’m a bit self conscious of my shoulders and also because I was always told my waist wasn’t curve enough in middle school 😢)
I always love your perspective in these videos Jenny, being proportionate is overrated anyway!
I’m also tall with broad shoulders and when I was younger I used to be really embarrassed about it. But these days I’ve made the executive decision that broad-shouldered-women are sexy 😎 and I love showing them off with an off-the-shoulder top!
yeeeees hard agree!!! 👌🏻👌🏻
omg i have never seen anyone who looks so much like me body wise that’s so nice to see 🥹
Preach preach! Am personally recovering from the who proportionate mentality and am trying to figure out how to love on my shoulders and arms more. thanks for the inspo, and as always, gorgeous styling
As someone with a similar body type to you, this is very helpful. Thank you 😊
It‘s all spot on, Jenny! I think you look outstanding in every outfit you‘re wearing here. I just love all your clothes, and they flatter you so individually!❤❤
I flip between:
1. tight on top, waist definition, and volume on bottom
2. No emphasis on the waist and boobs, and masculine enough that people will call me sir
Hi,
your video just popped up on my UA-cam and I watched it out of curiosity. I would just like to add that it would be worth check out David Kibbe's system, which I think is a-m-a-z-i-n-g(!) "guide" on how and what outfit to wear and which pieces are perfectly in tune with your "body type/skeleton". True, David's book, written in the late 80's, is labelled by some as outdated, which is justified in terms of fashion trends. However, his system is not at all about blindly following -fashion/body- trends, or making women look different from their true selves (that, e.g. all women try achieving themselves into an idealised, hourglass-shaped body by dressing up), on the contrary, D.K. concept is trying to teach women to become their most unique, authentic themselves by bringing out their most beautiful qualities and this is not at all weight or trend related, because his style method is fundamentally based on our skeletal system + our essence and charisma. (Although I don't know how tall you are, I assume you are a 'Dramatic' or possibly 'Flamboyant Gamine' in the above system.)
my body type is pretty much the same as yours and this really helped with my confidence. thank you so much ❤
I would feel uncomfortable in totally oversized look… I’m short, and in baggy boxy large clothes I just look as if I’m undergrown or consumed by clothing. I don’t like that.
I’d rather wear all tight clothing than all oversized one 😂
But my favorite formula so far is clinging top + wide bottom and waist definition; could be turtleneck with high waisted wide leg trousers, could be cropped top with pleated midi skirt.
I think I have quite balanced body proportions. The only thing I ever wanted to change was my height, I wanted to become taller when I was around 15-16 years old, but when I learned how it could be done and all risks and complications… I never thought about it again and became happy with my body as is. I didn’t want to torture myself for additional inch or two, they wouldn’t make any difference honestly, because I’m 141 cm (4’8”)
That black skirt is gorgeous! Where is it from?
Unique, quirky, special. Yes!
Totally agree. This weird idea that we all had to basically do whatever it takes to make ourselves the “ideal” hourglass or classically proportioned body is so obnoxious and unhelpful, really. I’m not an evangelist for any one “system” or “rules” when it comes to dressing, but I did find studying the theories of David Kibbe and John Kitchener helpful in getting my eye to see MY body’s lines and overall character or personality if you will. What I like about them is that they advocate harmonizing with and honouring the lines you have instead of compensating for them or hiding them or any such thing. It has helped me see why certain cuts and fabrics make me feel like myself and look my best and why others are just weird. But even with those theories, there can be this inclination to take the guidelines offered as hard and fast rules. But nobody is 100% a type of any kind. We’re complex and unique and should wear whatever the heck makes us feel the way we want to feel. But, having knowledge like you are sharing in this great video helps us have more control over how our clothes reflect whatever mood we may be in, whatever effect we are going for which, I think, gives us confidence and confidence is always attractive. I know that my body is put together in such a way that when I wear oversized, bolder clothes, I actually look “normal” and “proportionate”. If I dressed in a way that tried to bring the illusion of a “proportionate” body (which always seems to mean an hourglass figure) I would look ridiculous and I would be so uncomfortable everyone around me would immediately pick up on how awkward I felt. I loved that you showed how the lines of your clothing pieces can effect how the lines of your body are perceived by the eye. Trying to be something you aren’t never really works, anyhow. It’s a big ole waste of time and energy.
Wonderful video. Thank you for your work, Jenny! ❤
thank you for watching lovely!!
Body changes after kids and now that I'm older a mismatch of mind and body. I use to have long legs, small boobs and narrow shoulders and I was ok with that. My mind struggles now with all the over 60 changes. You look fabulous
This reminds me of when I was in high school reading make-up tips. The magazine said things like, "Are your lips too big? Then,blah blah blah." "Are your eyes too close together? Then blah blah blah." I remember the more I read the more indignant I felt. I asked, ""Are my lips too big for What?" "Are my eyes too close together for what?" I mean, I couldn't express it well, but I already knew that the magazine and beauty industry were trying to make us all look like mirror images of each others--like dolls. Shortly afterwards I saw an old episode of the Twilight Zone where everybody has to have a Procedure done to them before adulthood to make them look beautiful and perfect. The main character didn't want it done saying "if everyone is beautiful and perfect, then there is NO beauty."After that I decided to dress as I liked.
I watch a lot of videos on body types and face shapes. All can be a strength or weakness, just depends on how you see it. Long face and short neck can be weakness but surely possible to draw attention to elsewhere with v neck, short hair with a cut in the chin, etc! Well explained! 👏👏👏
Great tips! Your positive aspect is very much appreciated! Also, that white suit looks phenomenal!!! ❤
These were amazing actually helpfull tips! Thank you so much for this. You make experimenting with fits sound fun!
Bravo. Great content on a sensitive topic.
Thank you so much for your video and point of view. I am tall, long legged, short waisted and big busted and I have a tiny head. So everything on me is either too tall/big/long or small/tiny/short. Nothing is in proportion. But I learned to accept and cherish the way I am and I am glad to see that you are a role model for many of us, not matter what shape or age.
so helpful! My thoughts have sometimes interrogated me on 'why dont you like leggings, everyone wears them' or 'you love how t-shirts look on others, why don't you like them' but now I feel like I can be free to Blame the Clothes and Not My Body!
My body type is similar to yours except I think I am slightly taller and therefore bigger overall. I like emphasizing my waist and skimming over hips ( love wide legs trousers, do not like 'flare' on me because I think it makes a very weird post-modern silhouette). I also like to emphasize my 32" inseam legs. High waist long trousers, long skirts, maxi dresses. . . used to wear a lot of mini-skirts and shorter shorts, but been reassessing that as it does attract judgy-ness sometimes when I'd rather fly under the radar.
this is such useful advice!! i've never been able to articulate why i liked/disliked certain stuff, but i'd say this sums up a good 70% of my clothing choices!!
This influencer has a great eye for design and aesthetics, which is evident in the stunning visuals they create for their content.
I feel comfortable in tight light fabric (for sensory reasons) only if there is one or two max layers. For more layers, when it s cold in winter time i just wear everything oversize
I love that. It's like a practical body positivity! Very much needed
you look like my lovely niece! I’m gonna send her this video 🤗👌
"get a shorter legs!" 🤣why would anyone want that? Jenny, thank you for the video, extremely helpful)) For a long time I couldn't figure out how to make some parts of my body look smaller and some longer, now I know how. I like all oversized looks and sometimes open bottoms, but feel uncomfortable revealing my short arms, so I wear tops with sleeves mostly. Looking forward for the video on colors))
We have the same body shape and I have only been bothered by my long legs when a normal length short leaves not much to the imagination. However at 37 I still struggle with the tiny A cup breast size. I no longer wear push up bras and my husband says he likes my body shape. Thanks as always for putting the good vibes out there. I don’t comment often but I’ve been watching your vids since Germany days.
Great video Jenny😊For me, it also depends on the day how I feel and I wish for more tight or loose clothes
This is so smart. Love the decomposition of the topic.
Thanks for boost! I lost 30lbs due to diabetes recently and enjoy wearing my daughter’s jeans 😅
Straightforward and so helpful!
your fashion videos are the best I ever watched, sooo good!!
Great hair! Love the colour and it look so healthy!
Jenny, you are so beautifully versatile in what you wear! I believe it takes a bit of courage here and there, right? I love it all. To answer your question, I like exaggerating my legs and in warmer months, also my boobs as I'm quite happy with the shape and size. On the cons, my food-sensitive belly needs to stay hidden from time to time. Not a fan of trousers though so I'm spending the winter in preferrably an oversize dress with warm stockings and a long coat. Once it gets warm, I will take out my lovely midi skirts and colourful scarves, for which I literally cannot wait!
Thank you again for what you do and yes please, more of the body type / how to dress videos are certainly a great idea 🥰
Love this and totally agree… I’m surprised you got so many comments like that. You look like art in those photos, if you tried to purposefully look more proportionate you’d look basic…. And you’re not
This is my favourite video so far. I loved it 🎉
Yeaaaahhh! More body type videos! I love it!
Love body type videos! Thank you
Glad you like them!
I am 5'1, rather small but not bony, and I have a huge chest. I don't need to hide it, or show it off. I'm okay that it's there. My chest will sometimes lead an outfit into looking "too sexy" or "dumpy frumpy." I don't need either of those when I'm just trying to get stuff done on a Tuesday. I hope to control for those variables a bit more. Tricky though
I am really petite, pear shaped and I also add short legs in the ecuation. I hear people telling me ALL THE TIME to wear slimmer shoes with high heels and give up my oversized clothing or 3/4 pants. I don't get it.. I look in the mirror and I find those give me a way better proportion than then classics that I'm always recommended to wear. Oh well, let all the calf length t-shirts and chunky boots come to me :D
you make such important content, looove it
This was really interesting, and I absolutely love the message
The way to backhanded compliments is paved with words like "balance out" 🙄 oh yeah, and "to pull it off" too... If you know other words, please write in the comments, I'd love to read it 🥰
Love love love this!!! Yes, please - more videos like that! Especially showing different outfits in comparison is so great!
I have a super super short torso and long legs and arms, also small boobs, but my hips and shoulders are medium I´d say. I love to experiment with proportions and love your outfits as inspiration
I was wondering if you could share the brand details for your bra? 🙏 Your video gave me some food for thought, because I seem to try and follow the masses rather than focus on how my body is. This was a good reminder to be myself ❤
I love your outlook on that!! well said, Jenny :)
I definitely feel cooler when I’m not balanced - with clothing and with life!
Thanks Jenny Mustard!
thank you for watching !!
Jenny I do love these kind of videos and make us think more out of the basic box and more into our unique features and quirks. Every body shape is unique and deserves more then just the classic hourglass.
Thank you so much for this 🤍
Love your view on body types! I bought myself a black oversized blazer with shoulder pads these days, and now I know why I feel a little bit weird in it! Very nice and educational video 😊. Thanks for the clothes list. Is the black Skirt (2:16) second hand or can I buy it anywhere? I just fell in love with the fit… ❤
Yes, I'd love to know too! Such a nice video :)
Thank you SO much for the message! Such an informative and inspiring video with so much helpful footage, I took away a lot for me.
I have pretty big boobs and a slim waist which (the waist) is often not so easy to show - because of the bigger boobs I often wear size L tops that are way too wide in my waist. I don't feel that comfortable to highlight my boobs so wearing tighter tops isn't the best solution for me.. I often go for oversized or slightly cinched waist.
I'm happy with a pair of jeans button down shirt pair of slipons.
I’d love to see what works for an Apple shape ❤
3:50 I must ask where is the lovely shelving system from which we can see in the background? ❤
I have a similar body shape as you, but I'm 5 ft ;) I always hate when an hourglass is seen as "the most beautiful". I personally wouldn't like to look like to have this body shape.
Any thoughts on colour analysis? :)
I need this black skirt from 2:10 but couldn’t find the link in the info box. Dearest Jenny could you share where it’s from?
it’s an old one from w concept 🙈
@@JennyMustard why u break my heart like this?? No all jokes aside, thank you - I'll see if they have a similar one available
Do you have perhaps a channel, or a website to code dress as a man ?
Thank you for this video. Your explanation in combination with the visual examples were great!
I am smaller than you, also have thin legs, wide shoulders and small tits, but I am quite straight at the waist-hips area so no wide hips and no small waist.
I do like my body a lot. I usually tend to wear wider upper wear and tighter bottons to draw attention to my bottom area. But I also like my shoulders and tits. So in summer I will show them off :-)
