I’m 5’10 and 130, Japanese. I’ve been working in fashion all my life and there was something interesting an old French lady once told me. The idea of the runway was to show clothing pieces for prince and princess back in the 1800s. They would have models who were built like the 15 years old ish kids to best tailor the clothes for balls. The fashion industry itself was simply just not ready/made for modern 1st world countries and their lifestyles. I don’t have any opinions on this but I thought it was very interesting.

It's easier to accommodate or even support a flatter chest because there is barely anything to accomodate. Luckily for me, I have a narrow ribcage so I struggle a bit less to find fitting non-stretch tops because my narrow ribcage balances out my bigger chest in terms of bust measurement. The down side is that I struggle even more finding a bra that fits because bras in my size barely even exist, let alone cute ones that don't cost a fortune 🥲

I share a similar feeling ^. I've always been skinny and clothes just seem to hang off me. I can't find anything that fits me without dwarfing my arms, sagging around my waist, or buckling around my knees. That isn't to say there isn't stuff made for my measurements, that's true, but that doesn't mean that fashion trends overall adopt skinnyness. I've never felt like my body represents anything close to what fashion idealises. I feel like the skinny guys in high fashion aren't there because of beauty standards, but because they represent something far from normal, so that they (and by extension the clothes) don't just look "ordinary" on the catwalk. Relative to prevalence in the general population, athletic, more bulky, skinny-fat, or plus-sized shapes are all pretty standard, even if our perceptions of these body shapes aren't as equally balanced. Perhaps my perception of these models is shaped by my ideals of being athletic, but it's hard to imagine anyone wanting to be BMI

As a skinny guy that has always been envious of muscular and lean guys for being able to fill up their clothes, this video really widened my point of view. I'm 183cm and 62 kg so I'm borderline underweight. Most clothes should "fit me" but I have a birth defect called pectus excavatum that gives me a sunken chest and pot belly. I always felt that most clothes that are slim or fitting never work for me. But then baggy or wide fits can sometimes drown me out. Maybe like you said, loving this body will be the first step.

@branislavcunta7763

Жыл бұрын

I'm also 183cm and weight 61-63kg with pectus excavatum. What a coincidence. I was quite unlucky since I grew up in a rural area where "filling up your clothes" was always a standard. I was always told that "you should be glad that you can anything you want" and "you look weak, you should eat more". The messaging I got from it was "you are lucky, yet you do nothing with that luck which makes you massive loser". Combine that with the defect and you have perfect recipe for insecurity. The clothes situation improved for me only relatively recently when slim fit was in. But still, I fared much better in a big city when it comes to self-confidence. I guess I need to move out lol.

I follow fashion houses that I like, I copy some stuff and details, I design usually shirts using those references and then I ask my tailor to make them using my measurements.

High fashion is all about exclusivity- it is extremely expensive, extremely size selective, etc. There are other clothing brands with inclusive sizing, and their clothes look good. Why? How? Because they put in the money! To research how to make clothes for bigger, smaller, shorter people, etc. They put in the money to create new patterns, to create new cuts. Making clothes is not impossible- high fashion houses just refuse to do this, even if they will very likely expand their customer base if they had more inclusive sizing. It is so dumb.

Its very true that you just gotta accept what looks good for you. Stop trying to chase certain looks that you wish you could pull off but just won’t because of your body type. That’s going to be the source of your insecurity. Be open to styles that DO look good for you and just gotta be honest with yourself. Having an open mind can really help you overcome a lot of insecurity by simply being able to give up on things that don’t work for things that do

The main reason as you mentioned at 5:30 skinny models are prefferred is to save material cost in development for an experimental clothing that has an unknown promise for success.

​@@pagethreemodel NO. CLOTHES DO NOT LOOK BETTER ON SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE SKINNY.

You know, my husband has gone through the exact same things. I remember there was a time where his thighs and bum got soo big lol, and his waist was so small (just from working out! And being really healthy) he genuinely could not find clothes that fit him. It was either comedically large on the waist OR so tight around his thighs and bum. He's the same as you, he has decided to slim down, but I was ok whatever he wanted to do!

I am really glad as a “mid-size” US size L-2X depending on the brand that I found sewing and historical fashion. The historical sewing community on KZread has helped me improve my relationship with my body so much. When I sew my own clothes I get to just go by my own measurements and I don’t have to worry about wether or not the person who designed it had my unique proportions in mind. I am in eating disorder recovery and I highly recommend looking into sewing if my story sounds similar to yours. And if you’re looking for content I think Abby Cox is a great place to start for femme fashion especially.

I have been saying this for I don't know how long.. but working out and creating a slim athletic body will become YOUR fashion statement; and then you slap something on top of it. It's your body, not your clothes. Slim athletic bodies can go topless and still look fashionable. While a dad bod(currently me) has to work so hard to look like a decent human being; so many colors, patterns and styles I have to play around with, while the hot athletic slim body can just slap on anything and look good. So yes, your body comes first then it's whatever you slap on top of it.

Great topic, this needs to be addressed more. fashion KZreadrs are great and really expose great brands and outfits that fit THEM. Then some will go out and do the same thing that the industry does and promote their own brand that is made for THEM. Shop for your body type, which is something that I still struggle with

As long as you're tall, it's not a problem. Width is not a problem. Shorter people have more problems. Clothes are made for people above 5'9".

as a short (5'6) and skinny man I really feel this video. It's very hard to find clothes that fit, almost every piece of clothing is either too big or too long (or both), because manufacturers simply do not think or plan for people like me - they do for people of average height and regular build, and most brands do not even have XS sizes for their clothes, and even the S sizes are big. with almost every piece I buy right now, I have to consider if it fits at least decently in few places, so if its worth taking to a tailor. finding these very few pieces that fit okay at most and then taking them to a tailor to get them shortened or other mods done gets very tiring, time-consuming and expensive

I love this message. When I started dressing with my body shape and no against it, pieces really started coming together for me 😊

This was a great video, great analogies and the bit about the individualization of responsibility. It’s insane how people (on socials etc.) will attack anyone who criticizes a CEO or designer even when it’s deserved. And as someone 5’11” - I concur with all you said almost down to the exact sizing. Thank goodness I’m a 10.5 and nothing more, because otherwise I know it could get crazy looking for even basic shoes. As a 32, even, it’s insane to try and find certain pants (shoes) too or other pieces, especially Japanese because 70-80% of the pairs you’ll find will be 27-29. Can find everything in a small or a 7-9, even European designers. Ironically Rick’s frequently elastic waistbands are good pants…but everyone does NOT have $1,000-$600 for pants.

I understand you completely. I have body dysmorphia as well. I’ve been a size 28. I’ve been a size 48, I am currently at about a size 40 waist. And the only reason I ever got thin in the first place was to fit high in fashion. I love fashion, but I’m not going to kill myself in the gym anymore. Plus I’m older now and it’s different than when I was in my 20s. Now I just take pleasure in having archive pieces that I can admire.

Probably one of the greatest breakdowns related to body compisition in fashion on YT. Great video, keep it up.

Wear clothes for the body I have, not the body I want. I have wide shoulders and solid calves no matter how thin I am. I will never be "skinny", but I can get muscular and lean at best or woman with a Dad-bod at worst. So I work with that. I watch mens fashion channels cause I like the availability of simpler looks and it just fits me better. As a petite but solidly built woman I get mens XS clothes cause it fits so much better and easier to find.

Exactly. I realized this within myself while shopping for clothes. It's not just the clothes. It's the clothes on the body.

I appreciated that you approached this in such a well informed healthy way.

im not even into fashion but the way you articulate really pulled me in. I can telll you put effort into this and have a passion for fashion

This was incredibly validating. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel.

I have one thing that irks me: the body positivity movement was conceptualized as a systemic and intersectional critique. It only has been co-opted and „individualized“ later.

Dude we have so much in common it’s like this vid was made for me, great video thanks man. I love fashion and I used to strive for a skinny figure but made myself sick, so I started lifting for my health but I’d be lying if it wasn’t for aesthetics too. Before my second ED relapse, I didn’t lift and I became fat again and it kills me inside because I love fashion and the way clothes fit on me when I’m skinny. Now I’m just lifting and eating a lot of protein so I at least have a shot at being lean, and I think clothes would look better on me than before, skinny or fat, with the additional lean mass. I am still just trying to focus on my health first and foremost.

I relate to this as a guy. What also bothers me though is the lack of opportunities that come along for people who aren't skinny beyond fashion. Bet you these models get paid good, travel around the world, wear whatever, sponsored by their companies, etc. While most of us with other body types have to work harder and get less opportunities in life in any field. I haven't seen many chubby CEOs, Actors, etc. Always have been kinda friendless, looked at as a slob or a creep which caused me to become a shy anti-social introverted freak or social outcast who can't fit in. So not only can we not dress well, we're perceived negatively now, everything is our fault, nobody likes us, nobody supports us, we're just left in the dust while everyone else keeps running or "walking the runway" forward ig. I don't wanna make it sound like I'm a victim but I'd love to be treated like a human being.

The skinny bias in fashion has been detrimental to my health. I have been into high fashion since I was like 8 so skinny has been engrained as the ideal body type. Now i’m 21 and am a recovering anorexic, currently at 110lb as a 5’10 guy. There is a lot of shame I feel for being so skinny and wanting to be skinnier, this isn’t what society expects of a man, I should want to be big and strong but ive fallen obsessed to seeing my bones. It is a mental illness, there is so much dissonance in my perception of my body, I know I am unhealthily thin and most all ppl would find how thin I am unattractive. Even I look in the mirror sometimes and am disgusted at my emaciated body but its so hard to stop because loosing weight is something ive become a master a controlling, a constant in my life when other thing feel out of my control. Mens clothes usually dont fit me so i have to wear women’s clothes and even Brandy Melville jeans didn’t fit me at one point. This being said, please be careful if you are tying to lean into the ideal skinny body type, I took it too far and now its extremely hard to come back from.

I haven't really seen a fashion youtube channel, just subbed. I think you ventured into a space not many channels have.

"having the confidence in yourself to feel good on how you look day to day before starting loosing weight", this is so true, i lost 23kg last year and that was after going to a therapist, you gotta love yourself to take care of yourself

As an avid gym goer with a built upper body, 29 inch waist and thicc legs I may look very good with my clothes off but most of fashion is unfortunately just not made for my body type.

i feel like the "it's your body" also manifests in fashion in a way that form-fitting, short, cropped and cut-out stuff in considered the most stylish. especially in feminine outfits, people generally prefer the ones that show your legs/shoulders/waist. notice, if you look for cool outfit ideas on the Internet, you really rarely stumble on more covered up, "modest" looks. personally i'm always cold & uncomfortable, and i prefer to stay covered up at all times, but that makes me look worse and less stylish than most people around. idk what to do about that yet 🤷‍♀️

The cool thing about different body types is, if you can't pull off something because of your body, chances are that the person that could pull that off can't pull off what you're currently wearing. Despite the fasion industry's obvious bias, I believe our differences make us stronger. If you're having trouble finding fits that work for you, keep experimenting and don't give up!

There's fashion. And then there's style. Style wins every time.

So much of high fashion is about idolizing brands, its quite unhealthy. fashion should be about loving your body, not just brands.

I’ve found surprising success with YSL items as someone who wouldn’t be as traditionally ideal for it. (For reference 5’11-6ft not entirely sure which and 175-180) I know I’m not super crazy size wise but from what I’ve found getting your body fat percentage down seems to help. My shoulders and quads are still sometimes something that clashes tho. I’d say look around and you might find some pieces that work for you but yeah definitely certain designers are a lot harder to find good fitting clothes in.

can we talk about his gorgeous luscious hair tho 😭

Love the video, good insight for people not in the industry, im a designer and i think some advice i would give to people is not only find brands that fit your body type but also learn some basic altercations if you’re really into fashion i feel like it’s something you should know, once i finished design school it was pretty cool because i can pretty much buy anything i want and make it fit to my body, weather it be a vetements pant or a size 46 dickies from the thrift (im a size 34 just for reference lol). Also you dont need a machine, some basic hand stitches you should know are the running stitch, back stitch, ladder stitch and for hemming the rolled stitch or a catch stitch

I love this breakdown, as I am in the same position you were in. Very broad shoulders about the 240lbs mark, big chest and bit of a gut. I am getting married and thought I might treat myself to a high end suit and no suits in my budget were anywhere near my size, and just ended up going with a Uk tailoring company instead, which saved a bit of money. They measured me up made alterations etc. for a fraction of the price. I do see both sides of the argument about models being 'skinny'. The clothes are made to be the showpiece and spectacle on the runway, and if the models have any outstanding feature (huge arms, chest, thighs or backside) it will draw attention away from the clothing. I rarely see a runway model and think they have amazing looks, I actually find myself struggling to remember what they look like after the next model has walked and as much as they are celebrated I think their job is to be unremarkable. (I dunno)

clothes don't make people look good. people make clothes look good

I’d enjoy when someone thinks about the chothing problem in a larger picture. I heard today a lot of things that I’ve were thinking around the last year, and being sintetized in that way… Thank you, you earned a subscriber.

Thank you for this video. I’ve slowly realised this over the past few years but I thought it was just me and my weird body. Even as a 5’2 woman who wears a smaller size than average it’s really a gamble when buying any clothes, especially pants, because there’s no guarantee they will fit on the body well. Usually the sizes (even the smaller ones like XS) are made for absolute giants and I end up having to turn up my pants so they don’t drag on the floor and get dirty, but then it ruins the original shape of them. I don’t consider myself as having wide hips, they’re quite moderate, but I’m also not streamlined like a model, so the ass on pants (jeans especially) can be way too tight yet brands that cater to “curvy” bodies are far too big so it looks like I’m wearing a diaper. Sure, I can return stuff and get my money back but I can’t just buy 1 item, I have to make a whole day of it and specifically scour multiple brands to check if they’re affordable and carry exactly what I want. Like cmon I just want pants.

Beware that the standards in the model/fashion industry regarding weight are far from the western societal beauty standards. Especially as a guy, being skinnier is seen as far less attractive than being on the fatter side. You don't even have to be underweight by BMI standards to be judged as too skinny by society. When it comes to the other side, being above the BMI threshold is still being seen as normal and good weight as a guy despite being overweight in actuality. That's definitely something to consider when deciding to adapt your body to the standards set by the fashion industry because it might negatively affect your perception by society and potential dating partners.

Dysmorphia is a real issue for men, so please seek help before decision on your well-being for some fabric.

Sewing machines are an essential household tool. When I finally caved and bought a cheap one, and learned to do some minor alterations, I felt so liberated. I could buy anything in a size up, break it down, and make little tweaks to the fabric to make it fit my size and shape perfectly. Way easier than making new garments from scratch and way cheaper than a tailor. I've since started making my own patterns and bespoke clothes for myself as a craft, which has been so fun and enriching, and it all started there. I know other people here have discussed the process of making your own clothes for the first time, but if you can start by deconstructing or replicating what you already have, you will start to understand fabric behavior and sewing techniques so much more and have a leg up when you want to design your own. Find that one piece that does fit you perfectly and learn to make it yourself.

I genuinely cried the first time I did a trial fitting for a 17th century doublet that I got made to my measurements, because it fit my back, and didn't have tension on the front of my armpits and pull weird while reaching forwards All my medium to large shirts have torn out armpits and have had to get into wearing 2xl and 3xl shirts just so I can feel comfy not accidentally showing damn near every trait of my body in clothes that should fit a 5"10 dude who rows 1.5 his BW This video is fucking dope and I just FEEL this man

I've actually found myself in a similar circumstance in regards to the muscle mass or fashion dichotomy. I've always had an athletic frame with broad shoulders and chest but I enjoyed endurance sports growing up (Cross Country, Tennis, Soccer etc.), and maintained around 10% body fat with lower muscle mass at all times. I never really had to think about clothing cuts/"fits"-- I would just buy a medium and it always "worked." I put on a bit of excess fat in my late 20s during the slim-fit fad and everything looked like shite on me. It hit my confidence pretty bad and woke me up to the concept of clothing "fits." I am almost down to 10% body fat again. However, this last year due to a knee injury I've had to lower my cardio and have increased weight training. Without really trying my delts, chest and biceps have gotten much bigger. I actually don't like it at all. Its impossible to find anything that fits anymore. I hate tight short sleeves, I don't like shirts that hug the chest and stomach. Everything is either too tight and too short, or its too baggy, ill-fitting and frumpy looking. I think I want to lose the muscle mass. I'm sick of having to "worry" much less think about "fit" all the time and how it never seems to work. And I don't even care very much about fashion.

Along the way i obviously thought about my clothing and style because it does make me think when i put away my 4th pair of pants in the last year or so because it doenst fit me. So this really gave me a new way of thinking about my body and it made me really happy to see that there are other people who are even deeper in the fashion thing that have the same problems as me. Thanks for your opinion!

Honestly one thing thats relly helped me gain a healthier perspective on body size was working in China. In the UK I'm a size M (6'1" , 180lb ) but in China I'm at least a 2XL. At first I was like "nooo..." but over time I just lerned that... this stuff is all kind of relative and maybe I was spending far too much time and emotional labour on making sure the scales read a certain weight and that I didn't go over a certain clothes size and that sometimes I was refusing to buy a size up out of some weird social conditioning. Anyway, after a few months of accepting my new size was either XXL or XXXL depending how lose I wanted the cut, I stopped looking at size labels and started looking at how the pieces actually sat on my body and I'm happier than ever with my wardrobe. But yeah, it sucks that even as a tall, slim, gym toned guy, my 32" waist makes me "too fat" for high fashion.

As a prominently pear shaped girl I stand by every word. I genuenly like myself on a bit thicker side, maybe m-ish (I’m of average height so it’s not that small of a difference) but I know for sure that most of y2k inspo pics are not made for me. And the difference between me and this ideal body type is not drastic, yet it’s still super stiff. Can’t win

I’ve been feeling a lot better about my body lately as a tall overweight girl, I kinda had an idea that clothes don’t fit me as well because I’m not really the “norm” when it comes to female bodies, this video just helped me understand that better c: I’m learning how to sow and make patterns so I can make my own clothes that look good on me, I’m done feeling like I can’t wear certain things because I don’t have the body for them. Life’s way too short for that.

I’m a woman but I got into Kibbe body types for the exact reasons you’ve mentioned. My body is not built like todays conventional beauty standard, and even though I love fashion, I’ve always struggled with finding things that fit. (I also used to be bigger.) Learning about your best silhouette-and it may be extremely specific-is the key to developing a good personal style. I won’t lie, I still rly rly envy people who don’t seem to have to worry about this at all…but it is what it is! Alli Vera is another youtuber who touches on finding silhouettes for her specific body. I find this philosophy overall very helpful. Kibbe is a shorthand to learning about this stuff, and even though it can be extremely confusing, it has overall helped me in body acceptance and gravitating towards clothes that fit my body, not fight my body.

I did do the weight loss thing before giving up on fashion but that backfired so badly and I’m now fatter than I was when I started. Long term calorie deficit did not work for me because of the massive backlash I faced from my body afterward - I was insatiable for months. It’s tough but it was a lesson. Now I just appreciate fashion on other people - my own clothes are boring at best hehe.

Just a word of advice, maybe not needed if you already know, but you might've gone too hard on the calorie deficit. Sure it'll take much longer with a smaller deficit, but you'd feel not nearly as insatiable and it is much more sustainable long term. Say for example your maintenance calories was around 2800 (the amount to neither gain or lose weight); try eating 2600, ensuring enough fiber which can keep you satiated, or do a fast for the start of the day and eat later in the day. A deficit is a deficit in the end of the day, you are not eating enough to gain weight, so it doesnt matter how much that deficit is (unless you have goal weight by a certain time, like some athletes do). So no need to push yourself long term on say a massive deficit, like in this example going to 1900 or something crazy.

This has put me off from fashion for years and i'd just wear whatever, until recently when i stopped caring about clothe sizes (i would feel bad for buying XXL, so i would go for a L or XL and then not using the piece because obviously it wouldn't fit as desired and i'd always be self conscious about my belly). I'm now on a journey of trying to accept my body and finding clothes that actually fit me and that are flattering to my body type. This has led to just accept that I won't ever have a YSL silhouette (a style that I really like), but as you said, that's the sad reality of things. It's hard because I don't really love baggy clothes but sometimes they just fit and feel better. I also stopped caring about fashion trends, and I'm more focused on finding long lasting high quality pieces that are versatile and that i can mix and match with other things. But of course those types of clothing pieces are more expensive and that limits my options. It's hard out here for us, so thank your shedding light on this issue.

I am happy you started off the video like that because that is how I am feeling. I am a big guy but it’s hard to find a style and this point I am just wearing all black. While I cut

Thanks for this video dude. With me being an athlete ive always had bigger thighs, so ive always been insecure in how i look and fit and pants/jeans. If you could make a video just talking ab pants for people with bigger legs that would be sick

yeah, thats why for example more curvy girls with bigger breasts are always gonna seem less fashionable than skinny girls with A/B cups, kinda sad tho

Thanks I’ve been trying to find the words for why I hate high end fashion and luxury brands and this has helped me immensely

wtf the algorithm showed me your hair video (how to take care of it i guess was the title) and your sarcasm was so over the top I couldn't watch it till the end. Now this video showed up and you seem like a completely different person. Subbed, and thanks for the inspiring words.
