This is absolutely the most important part of fashion in my opinion. It isn’t how expensive the pieces are, or how cheap they are.

[tyler-xorb]

"think of the silhouette as like, the shadow of your outfit"

oh, like a silhouette

[jaeyoungchoi]

Proportion is the single-hand most important thing in fashion. Most important thing in design period. It's what they teach you in art school, fashion school, film school, anything design related. There's a reason why there's a certain height for males and females that are desired for runway fashion — all due to how proportions work. Proportions, rule of thirds, golden ratio, what-have-you: there's a proven idea that there is something innately mathematical that lives under what we consider "beautiful" for the human eye. Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man says it all.

It's always about truly understanding your proportions when it comes to having your own style. Silhouettes, tones, and the little extras are what comes after. I've been gravitating towards minimalism over the years and it only recently dawned to me that this natural affinity stemmed from the fact that I have been training my brain to understand proportions better. If you truly understand proportions you can make any piece of clothing look good. You can sketch models and landscapes that look picturesque. You can take your photography and filmmaking to another level. You can create a whole new layer to your home and living space.

Edit, forgot some movie recs: Fallen Angels, La Haine, and City of God

Proportion is a game changer, not only in fashion, but also everywhere where you want to please your eyes

[gregorynolf]

Its crazy because I first subscribed to you because we both ballers and our sizes are exactly the same. You're definitely one of the reasons I quit the skinny pants and moved to straight fit when I was done with college. Been helping me with proportions since day 1.

[Whodnl]

Drew is giving us a classic and a key into know how to buy the right clothes

[nymqu]

I'm a little bit chubby so ever since I started sizing up my tops I've felt much more comfortable with my rather awkward proportions. Having a more oversized/relaxed top esp with layers makes it super comfortable for me. It sucks though how I can't wear my true size sometimes since certain brands are WAY too fitted for my style.

[mannyg]

I’ll say this being a bigger man 6’3 290 (football build) it’s definitely more challenging to find clothing that fit me how I want so going a size up for me is always necessary when it comes to pants. But listen to you drew and understanding and exactly applying this to my clothes and my own personal has definitely gave me a boost of confidence, I’m not saying I wasn’t confident (that’s beside the point) I’m sure everybody know the importance of knowing your measurements it can make or break many outfits and you’re tips and conversations of these podcast and videos have definitely given me a new perspective coming to fashion. I’m new extremely but I feel like I’ve found a way to accurately express myself and not give a damn what anybody thinks. I do want to say I appreciate your videos extremely. 🤛🏾🤛🏾 *two bumps

P.S. I do want to say that your confidence in your fits are also what make the fits you put on and decide to wear you. The confidence you have the better it looks to your own self and to other. Peace & Love to everybody from an East Texan 🤞🏾

Can you talk more about proportions and how they should look? I’m a 5’8” stocky guy with thick thighs and wide shoulders, and I feel like it’s hard to get proportions or silhouette right. I would love to learn more from you

[nathanielcollier]

Proportions are so important in fashion. Can make the most simple fits look fire. Pro tip: Make sure you know your measurements.
Movie Recs: the harder they fall, a quiet place 2, one night in Miami

[yagi]

1-i live in madrid, it doesnt snow every year but it did last year

I don't usually comment but these are the sort of videos that are need. The core elements if fashion, a sort of introspective analysis of oneself in a way through the lenses of fashion. I feel like this introspection is lost a lot in the modern realm with people falling into moulds that don't require more thought than simply that of a bank account with available funds.

Thanks drew for continuing to be one of the only channels that dives into the nexus of what could be considered a new era of fashion. As in the past the subculture defined how you dress, now the way you dress defines your subculture.

It'd be a pleasure to meet someday and speak. Keep up the good work.
