60 Second Styling Hacks: How to Style Outfits With Proportions

Today I'm sharing easy styling tips to use proportions to change your outfit and change your style without shopping. These fashion styling tips are easy and simple and I hope they help create new outfits using what you already own!

On this channel, I share #slowfashion​​​​​ and #sustainablefashion​​​​​ tips that center around how to #shopyourcloset, and restyling pieces you already own. I also spotlight brands that I believe in every now and then. I believe in #creativityoverconsumption​​​​​, and that we all have the power to be conscious consumers.

Slow fashion looks different for everyone, and I'm so grateful you share this space with me!

Footwear is where I struggle the most, mostly because I want to be comfortable all the time. I also struggle to find the right top layer in any given outfit. Please do a video on top layers! I love the short videos keep them coming. Thank you.❤

I feel like I'm taking a class when I watch your videos. You are teaching me to up my clothing game and in turn I'm passing this information on to my 18 year old daughter. So good . Thank you!

So helpful to have the why it doesn't work explained and then showing what does work and why. Would love to see more like this.❤😊

[charlenehyle]

This was brilliant. Finally a clear explanation on why, as a petite, I can use my clothes in a more eye-appealing way!

[melaniemcneil]

FANTASTIC. That was so interesting. Thank you for focusing on proportion/visual weight. I'd love to hear more comments about that in the future. Color, value, shape, and line are easier for me, but proportion just seems harder, perhaps because I'm petite and there just isn't as much room to play! Thanks.

[dianecyment]

Your presentation is so eloquently stated. While it may seem verbally technical, it all makes so much sense as you demonstrate the differences in proportions. This has been so helpful. Thank you, Alyssa.

[salala]

Excellent video!!! I'd like to see more videos where you show more or less the same outfit, but with different body types and their "tricks" to make it work.
It would be great to see a video about e.g. bags, how to use vintage bags, how can you decide if a bag is really very outdated for your outfit etc. Also a video about shoulder pads.

Never ceases to amaze me the transformation that shoes make to an outfit. Excellent video, as always Alyssa. Thank you ❤

[kathysteele]

Wow. This one is next level. I’ll need to take pics to SEE this on me. The visuals on you were amazing! As someone with short legs and a long torso, this was helpful.

[moranac]

Loving your videos. ❤ You simply explain things in a way an ordinary person understands them. And I just love playing with proportions. Thank you.

The way you think about outfits is so smart and considered. Tbh I think this video was a little above my current level of fashion understanding—I felt like I wandered into the advanced class by mistake! Lol But I think I learned some things anyway

[sylvierozon]

Alyssa, I love this video. Actually, I love all of them. 😉 but I love how easy it is to adjust proportion., what works and what doesn’t. Have a great week!

[susanalsembach]

I love how looking at proportions really helps me to have more fun with the clothes I have.

[mariama]

You’re the absolutely best stylist out there!
Never learnt and understood so much in a single video
So grateful for discovering you ❤️🙏

[laurendempers]

Great video! The discussion on proportions is very interesting to me. Sometimes rules apply, and sometimes certain outfits defy rules so it's hard to nail down! I think one of the biggest struggles i have with proportions and balance is related to shoes. Which shoes work with which bottoms-- silhouette, length of bottom, skirt or pant, AND adding in socks to the mix (color, length etc). Would love if you decided to do some more content on that topic!

[thatgirlnetty]

I never considered the structure as much but wow does it make a difference. I learn so much from you, I feel so lucky to be able to learn visually rather than from a book. Thank you for assisting people like myself who really have a hard time putting it all together.

[jennieforcum]

I feel like the ivory cropped sweater needed a long, pointed necklace to draw the eye or point the eye down to the sleek shoe. This was a really interesting exercise, thank you for making me notice proportion more! XO

[jbar]

Thank you for this I am 5’3 and recently lost quite a bit of weight and I am both short waisted and I have short legs so proportions are often very tricky for me and I have been struggling with dressing my smaller frame. I have to be very aware of volume, sleekness, and how shoes affect my outfits so I don’t look swallowed up. Thank you for explaining why things worked and didn’t work, I see so many videos on what to avoid and very little information on what does work. Very helpful! 😊

[anne-marielandry]

Wow! This was one of your most informative videos Alyssa! ( and there are many!). For me, the footwear dictates the outfit. I no longer wear heels and pointy shoes - at this point in my life I’m all about comfort! So this clearly limits my options and I’m more drawn to outfits that work with sneakers/boots/sandals.

[susanbahen]

Loved this video!! I've been bingeing your content and have learned so much. Shopping my closet and putting together outfits has been such a blast. I'm not a follower of trends or fashion but I LOVE personal style. Much of my staple pieces have been in my wardrobe for many years. Thank you for all your great tips and inspiration. BTW, I'm in Ottawa and I love seeing shots of you in the city!! ❤️
