If you were cooler 😅 you are so cool, Alyssa! And in a genuine way, not in an attention seeking way. You’re cool, in part, because you love what you do, know what you love, and are so knowledgeable and thoughtful. Someone to admire 💛 thank you for these lessons in styling, they are so helpful!
I find this type of video and walkthrough so helpful because this is the most difficult thing for me when putting my outfits together! Would love if you did more of these! Thanks Alyssa 😊
Love this body positive and size inclusive video on proportion. When others use proportion to highlight looking ‘slimmer’ or address ‘problem’ areas you have used it to educate and empower. Thank you!!!
This stuff is so important. You don't always think about it when you're shopping for clothes. Those big oversized shackets and lots of other oversized items are really having a moment, and they're tricky to wear when you're a small person. You've got long legs and even so you work around the shortening effect of some silhouettes. Thanks Alyssa, great content.
Pulling out a piece or two a week of maybes as an ongoing edit as you suggested. This video about proportions gives me another tool. I just watched it again today to help me through the process. It's a bit of meditative time, doing something both creative, purposeful, and something for me. Can relate to the geography (today's live video) not meshing with one's style. I live in Victoria BC, grew up spending a lot of time in Paris and Rome where my mom gave each of us girls outfits great thought before we went out. I decided tension is the way to go for me, Thank you for all the lessons I can ruminate on.
This is so great!!! Could you do a similar one with summer outfit? I feel it’s harder to do these with summer clothes because there’s limited layering…
Love this video! Great explanation and examples. I’m 5’4”. I have trouble with my blazers. I have several black “basic” blazers that Range from ending an inch below waist, to 6 inches below waist, to over sized that ends 14 inches below the waist. Which one to wear with the difference bottom has been a challenge. This video helps a little with the issue. Would love to see more about these blazers with different bottoms Thanks so much for your insights
Girl. This was AGGRESSIVELY FANTASTIC ❤. I was taking notes during shop your closet yesterday to request that you do a deeper dive into proportions discussion. And then this morning, boom. Thank you for seeing into the future and reading my mind. Lol. Kidding. As a non-straight size wearer and petite-height person I feel like the vast majority of clothes secondhand, fast fashion or more sustainable are not made with the needs of my body in mind. I also almost exclusively wear flats. 🎉Because of and with the help of your channel and your considered, thoughtful, inclusive and wonderful work I have been able to learn to dress and expect differently from my clothes. Because of my specific needs, proportions might be where I put the most effort in. Please keep doing what you are doing. And please be so very proud of yourself today and every day. I appreciate it all more than you know ❤🎉😊
Thank you so much for such detailed information on proportions plus the other details which may seem small tweaks here and there but makes a whole lot difference in the outfit. Love from India ❤❤❤
SAVED!!!! This one was particularly helpful for me, Alyssa. I was wearing the oversized sweater, bulky jeans and white sneakers yesterday and was thinking I don’t know why people say not to wear baggy jeans with chunkier sneakers, I think it looks pretty cute. And wore it anyway-and felt great in it all day. And now I know why. And I think these principles will come in extra handy for me going forward with my wardrobe….and trusting my instincts. THANK YOU!!
I watched this video a while ago and kind of had the she doesn’t know just how bad my closet is. I definitely just need to buy new things kind of reaction. Then this morning I was struggling getting dressed and remember the thing about proportions and threw together an outfit that was super cute with my own clothing and maybe one of my husbands sweaters. Thank you for this and thank you for making these concepts so digestible.
Love those light-wash jeans. I just bought some in a similar silhouette. This really helped me a lot, because I haven't worn them much due to not knowing how to put them together with a "harmonious" top and footwear. And I love your print cropped jacket that you've had forever! Actually found all of this video very helpful. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this video!! Very informative and educational 🤓I would love to see more like this! I would also love to see you style other types of body shapes and get tips and info on how to adjust proportions depending on what shape one is. I've seen a lot of comments under this video coming from petite girls and women who seem to face challenges in finding how to style their clothes and find the right proportions. I am not petite but being a mid-sized slight hourglass type of figure also comes with its set of challenges. Tucking in a t-shirt or a jumper/sweater at the front of the waistline doesn't seem to work for me: from the front it broadens my hips and from the side it enhances my stomach 😕 Oversized can also be tricky... So general tips and ideas on how to adapt styles and silhouettes and zhuzh up an outfit depending on body shape would be greatly appreciated! ☺ Btw please don't feel that you're not cool. When you in your latest DITL video casually mentioned that you might go for an aperitivo with a friend at a nice hotel lounge it made so much sense because you're that kind of cool girl who does that 😎 Just as one example 😊 💜🌺
I really dug this more technical breakdown - as well as the honest truth of trial and error and the results which come from experimentation. Being curious is really valuable!
Thank you Alyssa, - I always look forward to your posting on Sundays, I take on your ideas and apply to my own clothes - I have a list of outfits that i add to, inspired by you. Proportion is for me one of those things that doesn't come naturally - I see it when you show an example but often I know when something is off on me, but don't know why. I am getting so much better at putting outfits together thanks to your videos.
I really appreciate your knowledge and especially your approach that advocates for conscious, intelligent and fun exploration and discovery - such a strong contrast to a lot of bad advise one stumbles on elsewhere (e.g., "never use more than two colors at once" and similar BS). I enjoy your videos a lot and find them very inspiring. Thanks!
This was actually so almost mathematically satisfying that I really enjoyed it, Alyssa. You broke down the Why's of different looks, and that's super helpful. Also: "Heft, heft, hefty, heft, hefty, heft, heft, heft." I lost count, but clearly a favorite word of yours. Bahaha. Love you!
Friday I tried on 3 prs of midrise, straight-leg jeans at the consignment store. Two of them were slim to me around the hips and thighs; one pair fell slightly lower on my waist and was barely looser around the hips and thighs. To me, that pair looked better. Now I realize that was dependent on the shirt I wore to try them on, which was also slim against my body. Either way, I'm happy with the pair I bought and expect to use them a lot -- $14 was a good purchase!
Great lessons! I hope you'll continue with proportion videos, including tops and dresses or skirts. I'm always a fan of zzzhzzing(sp?). By that, I means the tweaks and adjustments you make. You have a master's eye for those. While I see your points on tucking pants into boots for a more dynamic look, I'm always going to be a fan of long, lean legs with the same color footwear, ideally with a pointed toe. From some of your earlier videos, I'll never get the capri or above-the-ankle pant look. You're the expert, but those are not for me. Thanks, as always, for sharing your great eye with us!
This is such a good video! Seeing the detail, thought process, and step-by-step little tweaks one after the other really provided a great opportunity to see what difference they make. A great guideline to do the same in our closets. Fantastic, thank you!!
This was excellent, Alyssa. Proportions of outfits are always an issue for me at 5'1. I totally agree with the comments you made of the black jeans, they hit you in an odd spot as they shorten your legs visually but when you tucked them into your metalic boots your vertical line increased, at least to my eye. Gosh, are they your metallic flats you once tried to recolour silver? Did you end up getting them done professionally or continued to do yourself? I always loved those shoes 😊 Thank you for such an informative, professional master class in proportion ❤
Hi Alyssa! I really enjoyed how you showed making small changes to an outfit can make such an impact! Practical video for me to improve the way I dress myself. Thank you for this very useful content! 😊
LOVED this video, one of my favourites so far, the ideas of proportion is absolutely crazy how it can impact how we feel and look in the clothes we wear :)
This video was very helpful! Proportions are hard to navigate but you made them easier to understand with your demonstrations. It is amazing what a little tweak can do to the whole outfit. Thank you Alyssa!
Brilliant video. I sometimes struggle with an outfit, feel something is not right and can't put my finger on it. Now I understand so much better. Tks a lot!
This is key! I stand in front of the mirror adjusting proportion all the time. Having my hair up can change everything! As a tall person things can get costumey or over dramatic, proportion is what saves an outfit every time.
I've been looking for a jeans with that style for a while - blue denim square front pockets with the stitched hem look. I found one with a raw hem, but I'd love one with a finished look
This is so incredibly helpful!!! I have struggled so much with similar looks and I had never thought about my shoes like that and how they could be throwing my whole outfit off! Thank you!
Such a great video! But when you put on white shirt and then you exchange it with the very nice little oriental jacket it becomes so obvious how the last one suits you so much more, emphasizing you beautiful and bright personality.
Great help! It's nice to see how these tweaks make an impact. Really like the black top at 8:55 - where did you get it? Very graceful and flattering on you.
You know what. I think we are actually over tucking everthing in. SO over. It actually looks so fresh when you wear the wide leg jeans with the oversized sweater just as it is!! I love that look. Will start wearing all my knitwear like that from now on.
You’re just awesome ❤. For just this short time in just explaining and demonstrating why, I will remember these pointers when standing in front of the mirror looking at how I styled my pieces.
This was one of the best styling video I have seen of late. Your advise was practical, realistic and insightful. Thank you so much for this high quality content.
Hi Alyssa, I love when you show examples of the proportion factors (that are more profound than just rules!)! I have a variety of tight/loose clothes that I could do better playing with, and I don’t always take my shoes into account by outfit aside from weather and perhaps color… Hey, how about that spin-off video on proportions for indoor work-from-home outfits with indoor shoe shapes replacing bunny slippers or bare feet/socks only?
Thank you for your insights into improving our fashion understanding and confidence. I really appreciated the column idea to dressing for individuals modest about their waist area. I just struggle with living in Calgary (cold) but teaching kindergarten (running around all day in my 50’s) and managing my body temperature comfortably with two shirts-getting too cold then too hot and losing the cohesiveness of the outfit by removing a layer, thus exposing my tummy area anyway…Challenging!!!
WOW!!! This was such an excellent exercise…i will usually try something on and know I don’t like it, but I can’t identify exactly why…but this is so well articulated…LOVE…please give us more but maybe a little more complex with mixing pattern on pattern, etc.
I appreciate that your channel is about styling rather than the selling of clothing. I understand why people do it, but it is not at all helpful for me. Your presentations, on the other hand, are really valuable. I am going on a trip for 2 1/2 weeks to Europe. I have to be dressed very stylishly, but I can’t bring 5 suitcases. I have been having trouble with making outfits because my coats are oversized, and my shoes are also similar. I have matched colors for my tops and bottoms in order to disguise what I feel are short legs and a long torso (it bugs me), but I hadn’t given thought to your brilliant way of looking at proportions. I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to see this video and to you for making it!
Thank you! That tutorial made perfect sense proven by your demonstration with the garments. Columns and scale explained were brilliantly balanced. Thank you again.
Hi Alyssa this is Kiki! Thank you very much for this video. It was helpful especially because of your breaking down of elements and detailed explanation ^^
Alyssa, within seconds your intro had me excited and ready for 'school'. Great video! I loved your explantions and examples. I'm petite and not very curvy, so the first thing I noticed was that the heftier contrasting belts tends to take over make your waist appear larger compared to your hips, not something that would benefit me. It was fun to see how quickly tiny tweeks can make such a huge difference. Also, the chunkier boots looked great or gigantic depending on, again, the tweeks. Lots of good lessons! Question to ask myself, when I'm in front of a mirror...Is it Cohesive, Interesting or just Off? When the video ended, my thought was, "Oh, No! It's over already?" Thank you for putting this together. More please.
Thanks for this very interessting video! I have always problems to wear my chunky boots or sneakers with wide leg pants. I love both of these items, but together for me they do not work. This might be exactly a matter of proportions. So I wear my chunky footwear only with slim fit trousers (or skirts) and with wide leg pants I prefer more fitted footwear.
Thank you for this video! You've taught me so so much through your videos!!!! Its really made it easier for me (a 5`2 woman) to try the oversized silhouette. If you are considering making more of these type of content, would you consider doing one on footwear too? I find footwear to be my undoing :(. I live in the warm and sunny Australia and can never seem to work out what to wear with my clothes.
I really enjoy your content and this one was fab!! so informative and really just got me thinking about my own wardrobe and how I can change the way I wear what I already have. thanks Alyssa :)
Hi Alyssa I really enjoyed these tips .I was told to pick a part of your body that you really like and dress to emphasize it .I have a longer waist then legs so I try to shorten my waist and lengthen my legs .I also find in oversize clothes you loose me so thank you for explaining how to wear them . I hope you don't mind a suggestion I was wondering if you would consider showing one of your workshops so we can get a idea of how it would befit us.
I love how you explain why something works or why it doesn't and the little tweaks that make a difference. Really helpful, thank you.
If you were cooler 😅 you are so cool, Alyssa! And in a genuine way, not in an attention seeking way. You’re cool, in part, because you love what you do, know what you love, and are so knowledgeable and thoughtful. Someone to admire 💛 thank you for these lessons in styling, they are so helpful!
Exactly what I was going to say! 😍☺️if she were any cooler?! Well, idk if we could handle it!! 😂
ahhhhh you're too kind thank you for being here xoxo
ahhhh thank you xx@@karelmillard9854
This was helpful especially for me as a petite gal , 5'4" 115lbs. Scale and proper construction of stylish petite clothing is a challenge
I agree.
It’s so true when you’re petite it’s more of a challenge. 😊
i'm so glad it was helpful!
Try being 5'4" and 187 lbs; it's even harder to look nice.
What’s your diet and exercise like? I’m 5’4 and I want to weigh 125
I find this type of video and walkthrough so helpful because this is the most difficult thing for me when putting my outfits together! Would love if you did more of these! Thanks Alyssa 😊
Happy to do more of these!
Love this body positive and size inclusive video on proportion. When others use proportion to highlight looking ‘slimmer’ or address ‘problem’ areas you have used it to educate and empower. Thank you!!!
This is such a great point 👍🏻
ahh i'm so glad you got it!!
Thank you for addressing those of us that don’t want to draw attention to our waists.
This stuff is so important. You don't always think about it when you're shopping for clothes. Those big oversized shackets and lots of other oversized items are really having a moment, and they're tricky to wear when you're a small person.
You've got long legs and even so you work around the shortening effect of some silhouettes. Thanks Alyssa, great content.
Great point about thinking about proportions while shopping! x
I love seeing the before and after versions to really show how different small changes can make in your appearance.
Pulling out a piece or two a week of maybes as an ongoing edit as you suggested.
This video about proportions gives me another tool. I just watched it again today to help me through the process.
It's a bit of meditative time, doing something both creative, purposeful, and something for me.

This is so great!!! Could you do a similar one with summer outfit? I feel it’s harder to do these with summer clothes because there’s limited layering…
I really felt the visuals worked really well in this video - it makes me realize that I need to play with my clothes more.
I love this and try to apply….would love if you did this with like a size 14/16. Some I can convert, some I get stuck on!
Love this video! Great explanation and examples. I’m 5’4”. I have trouble with my blazers.

ahhh so glad you trusted your instincts - that is a huge part of it!
I could watch these all day! You put words to what my eyes know, but don’t translate with the articulation you bring for the table.

I just want to comment that your hair in this video is beautiful!
I really dug this more technical breakdown - as well as the honest truth of trial and error and the results which come from experimentation. Being curious is really valuable!
Those tips are awesome! Thank you beautiful Alyssa.
Thank you for watching!
Great demo. Luv the coats with the boots explanations; especially with you modeling the different options. Those boots are great too 😊
You are a great communicator. I understood and enjoyed the video.
I love looking a styles their silhouette and proportions. ❤ Not just their colors.
Would love another one of these with skirts and dresses!

I love this! Conscious, intelligent and fun exploration is exactly why I watch Alyssa. No judgement just creativity and curiosity 💜
My favorite video you’ve ever made.
This was actually so almost mathematically satisfying that I really enjoyed it, Alyssa. You broke down the Why's of different looks, and that's super helpful. Also: "Heft, heft, hefty, heft, hefty, heft, heft, heft." I lost count, but clearly a favorite word of yours. Bahaha. Love you!
That was super interesting, thank you. Proportion is a weak area for me!
it's a tough one for sure!
You are SO TALENTED at what you do!fantastic video as usual.Thanks so much

yes! I'll do dresses and skirts and different trouser shapes!
So interesting how little changes completely change the feeling of an outfit
Excellent Video. Great content and delivery
This was immensely helpful! I love that a lot of this is just common sense while leaving room for creativity and personal preference. Part 2 : yes!
That last black jacket - chefs kiss!

Great idea to have different body shapes (models) that you would show how to hide problem areas
love this idea - need to work on it!

You are my style Guru ✨️ Thank you 💕
LOVED this video, one of my favourites so far, the ideas of proportion is absolutely crazy how it can impact how we feel and look in the clothes we wear :)
Very helpful video. I’m basically a more mature petite version of Alyssa’s body type😊
This video was very helpful! Proportions are hard to navigate but you made them easier to understand with your demonstrations. It is amazing what a little tweak can do to the whole outfit. Thank you Alyssa!
Brilliant video. I sometimes struggle with an outfit, feel something is not right and can't put my finger on it. Now I understand so much better. Tks a lot!
Hi Alyssa ! A video just on sneakers would be nice ! Because I never know how to wear my not so colorful ones.
And workout clothes! ✌
I'd also love to see how she would style colorful, fun sneakers.
thank you for the suggestion!
Another vote on a sneaker video! My feet feel the best in New Balance sneakers and that's primarily what i wear. White, khaki, or black sneaks.
This is key! I stand in front of the mirror adjusting proportion all the time. Having my hair up can change everything! As a tall person things can get costumey or over dramatic, proportion is what saves an outfit every time.

You’re just awesome ❤. For just this short time in just explaining and demonstrating why, I will remember these pointers when standing in front of the mirror looking at how I styled my pieces.
great video, Alyssa! thanks!
You briefly mentioned the haistyle and its impact on the look - could you maybe expand on that topic? :)
Alyssa, thank you. This is brilliant. I was wowed by the difference it made when you put your hair up. 🙏
Long ago the guideline was do not have half & half proportion top to bottom. You added to this basic concept. Thanks.
I needed this. I've been drowning in my clothes and have realized I needed more balance.
This was one of the best styling video I have seen of late. Your advise was practical, realistic and insightful. Thank you so much for this high quality content.
Hi Alyssa,
I love when you show examples of the proportion factors (that are more profound than just rules!)!

I love the videos like these where you teach general principles
WOW!!! This was such an excellent exercise…i will usually try something on and know I don’t like it, but I can’t identify exactly why…but this is so well articulated…LOVE…please give us more but maybe a little more complex with mixing pattern on pattern, etc.
I appreciate that your channel is about styling rather than the selling of clothing. I understand why people do it, but it is not at all helpful for me. Your presentations, on the other hand, are really valuable.
I am going on a trip for 2 1/2 weeks to Europe. I have to be dressed very stylishly, but I can’t bring 5 suitcases. I have been having trouble with making outfits because my coats are oversized, and my shoes are also similar. I have matched colors for my tops and bottoms in order to disguise what I feel are short legs and a long torso (it bugs me), but I hadn’t given thought to your brilliant way of looking at proportions.

Alyssa has several videos about packing smart for travel! Look them up, I'm sure they will be super helpful for your upcoming trip!
So far this is my favorite video and topic you have done! So demonstrative, educational and helpful. Thank you!
This video was super helpful! I’m excited to try these tweaks with my outfits!
always learning from you Alyssa thank you!
This is one of your best videos. It helped me very much with all kinds of outfits. Thank you!

Hi Alyssa this is Kiki! Thank you very much for this video. It was helpful especially because of your breaking down of elements and detailed explanation ^^
Love your videos! I’m learning so much ❤
Alyssa, within seconds your intro had me excited and ready for 'school'. Great video! I loved your explantions and examples. I'm petite and not very curvy, so the first thing I noticed was that the heftier contrasting belts tends to take over make your waist appear larger compared to your hips, not something that would benefit me. It was fun to see how quickly tiny tweeks can make such a huge difference. Also, the chunkier boots looked great or gigantic depending on, again, the tweeks. Lots of good lessons! Question to ask myself, when I'm in front of a mirror...Is it Cohesive, Interesting or just Off? When the video ended, my thought was, "Oh, No! It's over already?" Thank you for putting this together. More please.
haha welcome to class! So glad you liked it:)
great video- could share the brand of your top (bodysuit?) - it's exactly what I 've been searching for
Thanks for this very interessting video! I have always problems to wear my chunky boots or sneakers with wide leg pants. I love both of these items, but together for me they do not work. This might be exactly a matter of proportions. So I wear my chunky footwear only with slim fit trousers (or skirts) and with wide leg pants I prefer more fitted footwear.
This is such a helpful video Alyssa, I have learned so much and really enjoyed watching it. Thank you! 🙏 ❤
Really love a nice balanced proportion that is easy on the eye. Thank you so much for all the helpful insights!💞
Thank you for this video! You've taught me so so much through your videos!!!! Its really made it easier for me (a 5`2 woman) to try the oversized silhouette. If you are considering making more of these type of content, would you consider doing one on footwear too? I find footwear to be my undoing :(. I live in the warm and sunny Australia and can never seem to work out what to wear with my clothes.
I really enjoy your content and this one was fab!! so informative and really just got me thinking about my own wardrobe and how I can change the way I wear what I already have. thanks Alyssa :)
Hi Alyssa I really enjoyed these tips .I was told to pick a part of your body that you really like and dress to emphasize it .I have a longer waist then legs so I try to shorten my waist and lengthen my legs .I also find in oversize clothes you loose me so thank you for explaining how to wear them . I hope you don't mind a suggestion I was wondering if you would consider showing one of your workshops so we can get a idea of how it would befit us.
I found this to be very educational and helpful for me.
Love love love this video! So helpful to see the different looks❤👏🏽
Great visual examples ❤
That was helpful! This will help me to tweak things a little more; awareness is everything for me. Thanks, Alyssa! Have a great week!
