      Most tops, jackets, and dresses are made for much shorter-waisted women. The waists never hit at the right place.

      @@eileenternullo8077 Absolutely. And once I find the right pants, then comes the challenge of finding stylish shoes with at least a bit of a heel to pair with my pants. Most platforms are too rigid to be considered real shoes, but I do like that they give me height without feeling too painful to wear for extended periods of time.

      It’s a joke to try to find one-piece swimsuits, and as for wetsuits …😂 I have difficulties with almost all of my clothes. Obviously bodysuits are a problem, but also my leggings are rarely comfortable or flattering. I wish companies would offer a choice of short, medium, or long torso fits. Our sisters with short torsos are also suffering!

    You are the first person who has ever mentioned what I recently realized…hair length to balance my long torso! This explains why I always feel bad when too much length is trimmed! In addition to a long torso I have a long décolletage and the long hair helps put it into proportion as well. Overall Great tips thank you!

      Hi Kim, I hear you. Some brands just don't work for everyone. I think we should assume that the default state for the modeling size most brands choose, won't look good on most of us. Instead, narrow down your search to specific brands that offer long torso pieces.
      Here are some brands known for offering long torso options:
      Banana Republic - Offers a range of long torso options in their tops and dresses.
      J.Crew - Provides tall sizes, which can be suitable for women with longer torsos.
      Ann Taylor - Known for their tall sizes, which include longer torso options in tops and dresses.
      Athleta - Offers long torso options in their activewear and swimwear.
      Hope this helps. Let me know once you try them.

    Wow, this is the best video on how to style a long torso I have ever watched on YT. No one else has been this specific and clear as you were in this video. So glad you used Kate as an example, because she's so classy. I have gained weight after having my son and it's a bit harder to dress my long torso with the extra pounds, especially around the mid-section. These tips are going to help me build my new wardrobe so that I can feel confident again until I lose the weight! THANK YOU!!! ❤

      💕 Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so glad that you found the video helpful. This is the reason why I make them: to help women get dressed and feel confident Every Single Day. I hear you, getting back to pre-baby clothes is a challenge, but it's doable so don't lose hope!
      I love to see people's reaction when I tell them I am a mother of 3, to break the myth that moms look a certain way, and that we stop caring about how we look. it is simply not true. We all want to look attractive and feel beautiful in our own bodies.
      It was my main motivator to get back in shape. It does get harder after each pregnancy, but know that everyone is going through this, you are not alone and you are beautiful and enough just the way you are today.
      Personally, I have an emotion connection to my clothes and I get attached. Most of my dresses are over 10 years old in my closet and I simply refused to replace them. 😅
      I have so much to share on this journey and am working on ways to bring them to life on this channel because clothes are ultimately a powerful tool to help us feel better, feel more confident and bring us joy when worn.
      I hope you find comfort in what you wear and don't forget to enjoy the process that will take you to the next version of yourself. Your body has created another human which in an amazing accomplishment. Enjoy these precious moments with your little one. The rest will come in time.
      I am such a big fan of Kate, so you will see her again. Wishing you a wonderful day! 😘

      I found some high waisted jeans I like but find the back of them nearly reach my shoulder blades. But I puff out the back of the shirt more to compensate and cover the height of the jeans at the back. I used to be the same that is why I never wore high wasted pants, didn't feel comfortable with them near my ribs. Maybe need to keep looking until you find the ones that fit as close as possible.

    • @Chicquette
      @Chicquette  11 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Barbara. Is it a maxi skirt or dress? If skirt, does it end at your waistline? You basically need to draw your waist as the end point between your tops and bottoms. A dress and belt seem easier to me. Watch examples of what Kate does with pants. Try a high waist and tuck in the top and add a belt where you want the waist to be. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by!

    "V-neck tops are excellent for elongating the upper body and breaking up the length of a long torso" 4:18-4:24
    Why do we need to elongate it?

    • @Chicquette
      @Chicquette  11 месяцев назад +9

      Hi Sofia, you have a great question. What I meant through this statement is that if we look at the torso as one long piece, we want to break it into smaller visual fragments. We accomplish this by reducing the size from the top or the bottom of the trunk or both from the top and the bottom. The V-neck shape elongates the neck, exposing the collarbone, and cuts the torso starting where the V tip ends. If you look at the two pictures side by side of Kate at 4:25 you will see that 1/3 of the torso is visually removed by breaking it with the V-neck. An extra effect that she adds is by breaking the torso visually on the bottom as well, with the horizontal belt, in both outfits. Very strategically placed. So if we were to measure what we now perceive as her torso from the bottom of the V to the belt, it's about 1/3 of what her real torso is. Easiest comparison is if you imagine her without the neckline, in a mockneck. Her torso would look much longer. Hope I managed to answer your question. Thank you for stopping by!

      Humans are programmed to like specific patterns and specific ratios. It’s less about being unappreciative of the human form than the reptile brain saying “ I like looking at this”

    i am 5.8 and i don't know what's wrong with my body, but i can't find a pair of high-rise jeans that look really high-rise on me. most women seem to have shorter torsos left when they wear high-rise jeans, but when i do, i still have a long torso above the jeans. it never looks like what i hope it would. so annoying...

    • @Chicquette
      @Chicquette  5 месяцев назад +3

      Hi, have you tried measuring your abdomen and trying out different inseam? Good quality pants will share this information in the details and I also find most "high rise" just regular size, nothing spectacular. I think they consider 10" high rise. But perhaps you can look for specific 12" rise and see if it fits better. Let me know what you find. Brands like Banana Republic have regular, short and long and under details and size will describe the different measurements. Hope this helps.
      PS: There is Nothing wrong with you! You are how you are supposed to be. Not fitting within the brands you shop for just means you need to be more selective in what you wear. Which makes sense because there is no one out there like you and most models are just that, models. You are unique, beautiful and enough, just the way you are. Sending 💕

    So what if I have a long ( honestly almost freakishly long) torso. Average to slightly above average leg length AND an hourglass figure. I am a biological female, I have a very hourglass figure but I can fit four handlengths from the base of my sternum to my navel. I’m also very tall for a woman…. There’s no winning.

  • @DanielleSiegel7

    I have a long torso and I can tell you Kate does NOT. She would not be able to wear clothes with sinching at the waist. If I try to wear clothes that have a crop top or cinched waist, it falls at the wrong place. Instead of at my waist, it comes up under my boobs because they create these clothes for ladies with short torso. Kate has long legs. This is ridiculous.

    Bonjour, J'aime bien vos vidéos mais je déteste la façon dont kate midelton s'habille, ça fait ringard pour une jeune. Elle aurait pu trouver son style, là, elle semble enfermée dans un style ringard pour correspondre au protocole. SVP arrêter de prendre ce mauvais exemple, on peut être élégante sans tomber dans un tel cliché ! Pour moi, elle copie, elle imite mais n'a pas inventé son style ! Ca l'a vieillit énormément, je déteste ! Kate n’a pas l’élégance des françaises, elle tombe dans un cliché !

      Because women want to look taller and thinner, many dresses and coats don’t have waists.
