7 Things You Should NEVER Wear with a Short Torso Long Legs Body Type

Рет қаралды 134,514

Don’t wear these if you have a short torso like me! They never work out. (In my opinion)
**OPEN FOR LINKS & MORE INFO!**
These are things I never wear with my short torso body. (No shade if you can pull them off! It’s just that I can’t…). My ribcage and hip bones almost touch, which makes things difficult. But that’s okay! There’s no one size fits all when it comes to most things. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

I'm 19 and I always wondered why my high-waisted shorts never really looked good on me. And why I felt that I looked better in mid-rise jeans. People said high-waisted jeans look flattering on everybody and even though I'm naturally slim, I thought I was just out of shape or something.

@JulesBeth 2 жыл бұрын

THIS! This is the kind of "advice" that misses nuance and can lead to frustration. I talked about it in a recent video on what to avoid for short torso bodies kzfaq.info/get/bejne/juChl614ksi9oWg.html

@marise-cellardoor2031 2 жыл бұрын

Great you have found what works for you! :) Interesting because I’m the opposite. So I wonder if it depends a lot on your ribcage. I have a short torso and refuse to wear anything but the highest of high rise jeans (we’re talking 11-13" rise 70’s vintage). The narrowest part of my waist is above my belly button and unless jeans cinch this, it fails to flatter to my figure. Because my ribcage is very narrow it just looks like a continuation of my waist so I can get away with very high jeans as long as I am wearing a skin tight top :)

Oddly enough, I have a very short torso and I'm also very short on top of that (4' 11"), yet I love ultra high rise jeans! I think it's because my waist is so high up and the high rise jeans hit me right where my waist nips in. Mid rise makes me look more square.

@Oolittlemeo 3 жыл бұрын

I am so glad I found your videos! I have been so insecure about my short torso for so long and there are barely any videos on this. This really helps me know what to look for and what to avoid when I shop for something, rather than constantly go through trial and error. So thank you so much for this! Regards the camisole tip, as a camisole lover, I found out a way I can actually wear them and that is to get them in a color that is similar to the skin color and avoid contrasting colors. I think contrasting colors on the upper body (mainly with short sleeves) look like they cut out the torso a bit. For example, I am very pale so light beige, pink and white work best for me so, I usually try to avoid camisoles in black (which sucks cuz I love black and dark colors). This way they contrast less with the skin and they emphasize and make the upper body appear bigger which balances out a bit the legs. I'm not sure if this will help anyone but just thought of leaving it here in case it does. :)

This is really interesting to me. I think you're right in that it's about proportions, but I think it also depends on how you see those proportions. I think the crop you don't like looks much better than the one you do precisely because it's a more uneven cut. If you were a visual layout, the reason would be obvious. You always want 1:3 or 1:4 more than 2:3. There's a reason most fashion drawings elongate the legs to inhuman proportions. But I also get the effect your choice creates and why it looks better to you. That's what I think is important but difficult. Understanding design well enough to apply I to yourself in ways that you prefer. Thank you for sharing information that helps make it possible

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your insecurities. You're absolutely beautiful, though. Just sayin'. I love all of these positive comments you got. I have a short torso and really long legs. I also have the luxury of a naturally wider waist and narrow hips. YAY! I've been camouflaging my short waist for decades. I think acceptance is key. And, you're right, I can't find any pants these days without a high waist. Cannot WAIT for this fad to go away! Take care 🙂

Thank you. I have had such a struggle all my life with clothes and finally understood it may have something to do with my proportions. Everything always to loose or to tight at the wrong places. I just wish I could sew myself or that I was rich enough to only wear clothes tailored for me 😁

This is so my body proportions too, and I have so many of the same struggles! I am also just 5 feet 4 inches, and accommodating long legs on shorter height can be a struggle too - and with the shorter torso! We have many things we can do, though, with our body type, that is amazing! Thank you so much for highlighting some of the struggles - it makes so much sense to me!

@Gandalfthefluff Жыл бұрын

The average women’s height in the US is 5’4! Not to undermine your struggle (I’m 5’1 I TOTALLY get how frustrating being short with a short torso is) but by definition your height is perfectly normal!

@physisintentionalessential Жыл бұрын

@@Gandalfthefluff ah I see, thank you...I guess I just feel small next to taller friends and colleagues, but that is interesting information about USA average height. I am not in USA, so I don't know the average here...probably about the same. I guess the clothes shops seem to have trousers falling too long all the time despite me having long legs for height, so I thought I must be shorter than others. My late Mum was 5'1'' - she used to say '5'1.2'' and that that .2 was important ;-)

This is such a usefull channel. I’m 64. I’m tall and have … yes long legs and a very short torso. Everyone makes videos about how to elongate your legs ! Come again ? How about shortening you legs. Also I have no waist and my legs are very slim. Which makes them look even longer. I wore drop crouch pants for several years (Rundholz style) but since I recently found out I’m actually a coastal grandmother (although far away from the sea and even further from grandchildren 😅) I stepped away from this style. Now what has been a major eye opener for me was an article I read ages ago that told me why I always had a tummy. Even when I was pencil thin when I was young, I always had a tummy. In the article they said it is because of my long legs ! There is less space available for our intestines than with women who have a long body and short legs ! Waw, bye bye frustrations. It does make sence doesn’t it ? And look around you, long legged women usually have tummies, short legged sisters are flat !

This was great! I realized that I have a short torso as well. This all makes sense. Love rompers and high waist jeans but due to short torso, full boobs and hips, I've always had issues with the fit not to mention wrap dresses and skirts which I love but sadly had to totally rule out as a wardrobe options.

I found this trying to find info on stretching for ppl like me with long legs. Like, I can't find anyone with my proportions (short torso, long legs-- but overall, short stature), so some exercises/poses are different for me. I'm glad I found this, though, cuz I have similar problems with fashion.

This is why about 6 years ago I started teaching myself how to alter my clothes, and have gradually started my foray into making my own clothes. My height, in conjunction with my proportions, makes buying clothes really distressing and I always come out the other end hating myself for weeks and months.

I'm 30 years old and just now learning how to dress for my body shape. I always knew i was supposedly a "banana"/straight shape, but the usually recommendations (frills, high-waisted pants, "baggy pants," belts around the waist, tucking...) always made me look frumpy, so it's very confusing! I also have like 36 c bust - and some extra mid-belly and mid-back fat - which just adds to looking fat and frumpy. Voila - i realized that apparently i have a short torso! This is so helpful. Thank you!
