The Clever Trope Meets Perfectionism & Preppy Fashion Psychology | Spencer Hastings Style Analysis

  • In this video, I’ll be covering Spencer Hastings from Pretty Little Liars through a psychological analysis of the clever trope in media and perfectionist tendencies. In order to define the connection between her identity and her preppy wardrobe, we will be looking as well at Spencer’s placement in regards to the Four-Temperament Ensemble. Through this, we will decode how her personality, upbringing, and environment shape her wardrobe while hinting at her hidden nature. We will also be looking into Perfectionism and how this impacts individual belief systems, behaviors, and mental health.
    The clever trope will define how this trope functions within media and culture. We will also develop an understanding of why clever characters sport a certain look and how the trope is visually conveyed in fashion. I’ll also be explaining the sociology of this character related to preppy fashion to explain how preppy style contributes to the development, structure, and functioning of social practices.

    Just a small note, this is not a reupload. When I began my channel I had never created videos before so this will be reworked to be HD, better audio, etc with new sections and material covered. I’m happy to work on this since it was one of my favorites to create and is actually quite close to my heart. Thank you for supporting the beginning if you have seen a variation of this, I hope you enjoy this edition as well

    Interesting video but honestly not a huge fan of the narration. If you’ve ever heard of “vocal fry,” it’s not very good for your voice and can be distracting. And there’s no need to over-enunciate since your mic is pretty good. Just speak naturally, you don’t need to try to sound sophisticated or sexy or anything like that, you’ve got a lovely voice!

      There's nothing wrong with the narrator's voice. It's just the pacing and phrasing of the sentences (they'll sound like they've ended one sentence and began another bc of the inflection and tone, only for me to realise it's just a continuation of the last sentence), but the voice itself is fine. Some people just have vocal fry, it's not that deep.

No more phlegmatic personality type etc, please. I don't mean to be all ivory tower-y; you can get yourself a good base by just watching Crash course psychology and Crash course sociology here in youtube. Sorry for the tone, but I see so much good in you and your content that it makes me emotional to hear it coupled with dated "science".

      I’ve studied psychology and social science while in university. Each video also has a lot of research put into it. To me, speaking on personality types, mental health, etc is important to show no matter what someone looks like, comes from, is facing, etc these traits or experiences can still be present. A lot of people’s internal states impact their appearance, especially in this day and age.
      I would never do this for a real person, these characters can serve as a grounds to explore this part of one’s image in relation to the self or wellbeing. I believe it’s important and I do my best to fact check. I make all these videos myself so there are bound to be mistakes and I’m sorry for this. If you do not enjoy this sort of content, there are plenty of other fashion channels who do amazing work that just focus on fashion. I appreciate the recognition of the good part of my work

    She looks better in mature looks because she has naturally older-looking facial features.
