If you want my opinion on your body type, head to bodyandstyle.com

with the consent of the people featured, i'd love a video where you showed each type a selection of influencers we can follow with our body tyes :)

It's been awful shopping as a busty woman in this era. Nothing in stores are made to fit a woman with 36 inch bust line and a 28in waist. Plus I'm 5'6, so basically anything in style right now just makes me look frumpy. Where is the waist emphasis???!! I don't want to have to dress like a 50s housewife to get any sort of flattering silhouette.

Ooohhhh a vid on brands that cater to certain body types would be great to see! I hadn’t even made the connection that Ted Baker was a very gamine brand.

As someone who turns 40 next month, I’m loving that some of the aesthetic of the late 90’s is resurfacing!

Soft Dramatic with Ethereal essence here. I will holding on tight to the goddess trend!

If shopping is not your hobby but just something you do when you realize you have no good clothes once every year or three, it’s hard not to buy whatever is trendy because that’s the only way you can buy five coordinating outfits in one trip.

Even as a Dramatic, I do like the cargo pants/techwear style. I usually go for a more futuristic style rather than a safari natural style and I think it works nicely for me.

What a great video! This is why I stick to clothes that make me feel good over following trends blindly. I can't remember the last time I bought something trendy, and none of these things sound like stuff I'd like, but it's fun to see what's going on :)

Love love love videos like these! It's great seeing you break down these trends, so helpful to hear how to incorporate styles with your own body type :)

Ellie-Jean I adore this video! I liked all the examples you showed too. The mood indigo & silver linings are fab for cool color seasons. The fight club elements seem good for waist definition

Love your videos:) You look really pretty in baby blue

👏🏻👏🏻 so informative and relevant-EXACTLY the video I have hoped for! 👏🏻👏🏻

Great video, I like the body type break down a lot. Thanks ❤

Such a fun video. I loved that you explained each trend for the body types.

As a Soft Dramatic I absolutely rock the corset style tops if I wear a light fabric on the bottom as well thats in a similar vertical creating shade. You just have to get used to feeling very sexy.

You look so cute in this video! It’s nice to see a classic type do prep/sport in ethereal colours!

This idea is superb 👏 I was thinking about something like that for awhile. This blue looks amazing on you

just got my style file two days ago, so this timing is perfect for me!! 💛

THIS. Thank you for this video. 🎉🎉🎉

loove this breakdown !!💖

I would love to see a video on styling during pregnancy! Also, Ellie-Jean looks GORGEOUS in this video!

another really interesting video- as a romantic i'm not so into the lingerie trend, altho i do love bridgerton- but you do mention Ted Baker as a brand for gamines or dramatics- and I find their stuff rly good for my curvy/busty romantic self too. The preppier/gamine dresses tend to have good stretch and support for the curves while also being flattering. alice and olivia is another brand- they do the slinkier, silkier lingerie/90s style slip dresses rly well and i find those also work w/ curves w/o looking like outright underwear

Flamboyant naturals unite!

Thank you!

Can you please make a video on what brands cater to what kind of body types. Eg I find doen to be suitable only for romantic yin types. And everlane madewell is more Yang in construction. I believe this would be extremely useful.

Love your videos.

I loved this video! Putting the latest trends to work on myself as flamboyant gamine was incredible! Adore this channel ❤thanks for the hard work!

You're always producing such great content! I love to see more FG friendly styles :)

Could you maybe do a video on influencers/bloggers etc and recommend channels for each body type? I sometimes lack some inspiration 😊

you look great in that denim maxi!! love that look on you!

This video came at the perfect time just before I went shopping with my friend! It's very helpful to see how body types can be used in real life and what trends suit us. Anything that goes beyond the basic descriptions and shows us how to put theory into practice ❤ I would love to hear your opinion on eyewear, especially sunglasses. Most advice is "square face = round glasses, round face = square glasses" and not very useful… there has to be more to it because it is so difficult to find something flattering!

I like ur content n also the decor of ur room.

I’m also looking for similar silver pants! 😅 I’m obsessed!

You are amazing! It is so entertaining to see you talk about this. It's your zone of genius

Great video. 😊

You are doing a great job with these videos ❤❤❤

I think fight club is referring to knightcore, Al the examples remind me of armor and chain mail. I love it!

You mentioned how Ted Baker used to have a style that flattered gamines. Could you do a video on UK clothing brands and Kibbe/Kitchener recommendations?

I finally know how my mom felt in the 90's when the 70's came back. Why did I give away all my shoes

13:52 these holes are called grommets! they are super fun to play with aesthetically

I would loooove to see you talk about brands that are great for the different body types!

really love the colour and style of your quarter zip!! looks super nice with your hair colour

Off topic, but I really really like that light blue color on you🥰

I love the clip you used talking about trends coming back around because all I could think of was "the return of the bullet bra" 😆

Soft natural/soft autumn with gamine essence here. Live for the return of cargopants. ❤ Loved them in school back in the early 2000s and got myself an updated calvin klein version. Same with the lingerie trend....loooove this stuff. Looks so good on softies 😊 low waist isnt it though, my waist stays up 😅

Amazing - thank you for this! It’s so hard to look cool, a bit edgy and low effort as a TR. Especially in a way that’s suitable for work (although I work in a very relaxed creative office). Would love to see a video to help with this or hear your tips if anyone has any! 💕

Silver lining reminds me soooo much of space age fashion (1960s-80s)

Loved this video and your channel 🥰 I don't see the basics play list?

I love your branding style! What did you use to create it?

I love that denim maxi skirt of yours! 12:51 Mind telling where you got it?

Can’t wait to find out what my body type is 😊

I'd really love to see a video on the body types as they become pregnant. I'm a soft classic but with my body changing, I have no idea what to wear anymore or how to look good pregnant 😅

Hi Ellie, I am 3 months postpartum. Would it be too early for a consultation? My body is not back to normal yet and also future babies aren't far away but my wardrobe and style are a mess. Also whilst I was pregnant I had no clue on how to dress myself and look put together 😅. Love your videos as always!

I love the drop waist. Bring it back!

Would be curious to see a video on the best designers/brands for each type/essence

For me I try to kinda keep up with whats trendy atm because I don't want to look outdated. It took me waaay too long to stop buying skinny jeans and loop scarfs. It was my wake up call when I realised that I looked more like my mum than my mates.

You didn’t really mention Soft natural :( its so hard to follow what you mean when you pair naturals and dramatics together a lot of times .. I thinks a lot oft soft naturals (including me) are very short and soft and nothing that works for a dramatic would work on us 🙈

I like the softer draping fabrics as a dramatic with some delicate features, and shiny rather than matte. Soff Dramatic, I guess.

Great video, thank you! What was the name of the woman you mentioned early on in the video about the cargo trousers who you said you like as an inspiration for gamines?

i’m still sorting out my body type but i’m leaning toward soft gamine, so i’m probably going to lean into grunge and pocket trends, as i, shockingly, do not own any cargo anything.

I am in the middel of cleaning out my clothes bevore moving. I wanted to through out my grungy Shirts, my Dark Denim Dress, my denim scaterskirts lol 😅 not gonna do it now. Just in time, literaly today I would have given it away 🙈

silver linings + pocket change = SPACESHIPCORE lol

What about the "pocket change trend" on soft dramatic? I am one and I kinda struggle, as I love the "military" kind of vibe, but don't really know how to incorporate it to my style.

Honestly then it about urban outfitters bustiers is so true and SUCH a problem like omg I just turned 20 and going out they’re all anyone wears and I love them so much but there’s no chance I can wear them, no chance most women could wear them since the cup sizes are minuscule it’s so upsetting and I’m not as hurt by it now but since I was 13-14 (when i got my boobs lol) I’ve had really bad body issues feeling a lot bigger than I was since when I would try to dress how it was trendy to I would look like a potato with zero waist. It’s funny because lots of the time girls tell me how lucky I am to have ‘big boobs’ yet I’ve always been so jealous of smaller boobs since they can wear all the trends, urban outfitters is completely catered to them, and they can wear the exact same thing as me but I’ll get shamed and sexualised just because my body looks different and certain parts of me are more pronounced. For a while I tried really hard to lose weight so that my boobs would get smaller and was extremely underweight yet my boobs were the same, whereas now I know that that’s just how my body and weight distribution is, back then I was just like well I must need to lose more and work harder. Sorry for the rant but it really gets to me, can’t tell u the amount of times I’ve been shopping with friends and we’re all trying things on and nothing will fit me right, crying in the changing rooms sucks. And don’t even get me started on Victoria secret a literal lingerie store that doesn’t have a range of sizes? As a teenager not being able to shop in the ‘trendy’ shops just because they don’t fit you right was the worst

Can we chat which denim skirts with which Kibbie types? I’m FN and I’m struggling

Do you do analysis for hire? I would love to get one done

As an FN, I love the the the cargo / pocket change trend, but ironically, all the pants I find in this style are way too short for me. Its so frustrating (:

As a SD it was a bit hard to understand this video because we are a dramatic, we are yang but usually get recommended a lot of soft, shapely fabrics. Would be great if you could specify whether something works for us.

It takes lots of effort and money for people with romantic body type to dress well everyday. Silky, flowy or drapping flattering dresses are never cheap, not to mention well-groomed hair

How are crop tops for the body types?

I feel like dressing my dramatic classic body prevents any trend tracking 😢 unless I’m in a plain structured suit or structured Jean I look doudy and hidden by the cloths. What is it about dramatic classic type that makes it this way?!

Hey can you tell me some of the models or influencers who are romantic body type....i ll have to study them

Is soft natural a ying or yang type?

could you possibly cover more on soft gamines? i think i may be a soft gamine but i feel like i don’t see enough on it😢

I know these aren't rules we HAVE to follow...but I always get so sad about what my body type apparently looks good in because...I never like the suggestions. (I am not a shiny, sparkly, gemstoney, peplum kind of person at all). I would love it if you did more videos on how to make an aesthetic or trend work for each body type, rather than saying certain ones only suit 1 or 2 of the types but not the others.

i think surface value just means surface ornamentation like textile manipulation, embroidery, etc..

Feel like classics are kind of out in the cold.

You hardly mentioned soft dramatics 😢 Plz don't forget us it's hard enough to find recommendations for our body type as it is

I'm an FG millennial who wore grunge lines in the 2000s. It always suited me and looked timeless on me.

Oof not the drop waist...

Please, don't forget the dramatic-classic type! 🙏 Although they are on the classic family, I feel that much of the classic súper symmetric and simple characteristics doesn't fit for them!

I always thought you had blue eyes

There wasn’t that much for soft classic

Classic body type dressing sounds always so boring, I like elements of each of these trends and I always think they won't work for me, according to the analysis :(

666th like 😈

Im TR and i think peplum looks awful. Peplum can create imbalance and make your torso look shorter. I think peplum is best for women with less curves , a more straighter and figure . Even better for someone with wider shoulders and narrower hips ,the peplum woukd create balance

You have great information, but I find your hair fiddling very distracting.
