The Everyday Style School

Understanding Proportion in Your Body and Your Outfits


Listen Later

If there's one thing that can completely transform how you get dressed, it's understanding proportion. I know, I know-it doesn't sound exciting. But you can have all the right pieces, follow all the rules, and still feel like your outfits don't work. The missing piece? Understanding proportion.

In this episode, I'm sharing the kind of knowledge that actually makes a difference in how you look and feel in your clothes. We're diving deep into what proportion really means, why most women get it wrong, and how understanding this one concept can transform the way you get dressed every single day. We'll explore the two critical areas where proportion matters—your body and your outfits—and I'll give you homework that will help you start seeing yourself and your wardrobe in a completely different way.

I hope this episode helps you stop thinking about style as a collection of unrelated pieces and measurements, and start seeing the whole picture instead. Once you understand how the parts relate to each other, you can manipulate those relationships to create balance—and that's where the real magic happens. If you struggle with feeling like your outfits don't quite come together, this might actually be the one thing that changes everything.

What you'll learn:

  • Why style is all about relationships, not rules.
  • The difference between short-waisted and short-torso (and why it matters).
  • How to use the golden ratio to create outfits that look polished instead of frumpy.
  • The volume distribution mistake that's making you look not so put together.
  • Why you can't always balance everything perfectly (and what to do about it).
