💁‍♀️ How to Make Any Outfit Work for Your Body Shape – The FRAME Method Explained

We’ve all seen those Pinterest-perfect outfits that look amazing on the model — but when we try to recreate them, something feels… off.
Sound familiar?

That’s why I couldn’t scroll past this video by @Elegancefeed. She walks you through exactly how to make ANY outfit work for your body shape — using a real example and her own personal styling method called FRAME.

And let me tell you, it’s not another “hide your flaws” type of guide. It’s about understanding your body and working with it, not against it.
This video isn’t just helpful — it’s transformational.

Let’s break it down together? 💁‍♀️

💡 Why Most Outfits Don’t Work “As-Is”

The video opens with something every woman needs to hear: there is no universal outfit that flatters every body. That influencer dress you saw on Instagram? It’s not that it’s “wrong” for you — it just might not fit your shape’s needs without tweaks.

And that’s where the magic of her FRAME method comes in.

🔠 What Is the FRAME Method?

FRAME stands for:

• F – Figure: Understand your natural shape

• R – Recreate: Use an outfit inspiration or styling goal

• A – Adjust: Tailor or modify the outfit to suit your shape

• M – Match: Choose materials, cuts, and silhouettes that align

• E – Emphasize: Highlight your strengths with accessories, styling, or structure

This method takes you beyond “dressing your body type” and into the realm of intelligent, personal styling — which is exactly what confident, well-dressed women do.

🧍‍♀️ Step 1: Know Your Figure (Not Just a Label)

Before applying anything, the key is understanding your actual shape and proportions — not just calling yourself “pear” or “rectangle.”
In the video, she encourages you to observe where your body carries visual weight:

• Are your shoulders broader than your hips?

• Do you have a naturally defined waist?

• Are your hips the widest part of your body?

It’s about balance — and knowing where you may want to create more of it.

🎯 Step 2: What’s Your Styling Goal?

This is the part no one talks about: what do YOU want to emphasize or balance?

The creator makes a powerful point — maybe you love your waist and want to highlight it. Maybe you want to elongate your legs or soften your shoulders. Maybe you're just bloated and want to feel secure. ALL of those are valid goals.

You’re not dressing for approval. You’re dressing to support how you want to feel. That’s where real style begins.

🧵 Step 3: Learn What Works (and What Doesn’t)

Using a live outfit example, she breaks down why certain pieces work beautifully for her shape and why others need adjusting.

Some lessons she shares:

• If a skirt cuts you at the widest part of your hip, it shortens your frame.

• A neckline that sits too high might make the torso look boxy.

• A jacket that hits at your waist = instant shape definition.

These are subtle but powerful insights — and when you know them, you can look at any outfit and think, “Okay, this would work better with a belt,” or “I’ll swap this top for one with a V-neck.”

✂️ Step 4: Adjust Instead of Starting Over

This is my favorite part of her message:
You don’t need to throw out your clothes or reject outfit inspo just because it doesn’t work at first. You just need to adjust.

Maybe that means:

• Rolling the sleeves

• Adding a belt

• Swapping wide-leg trousers for tailored ones

• Tucking (or not tucking) a shirt

She shows in real time how small adjustments completely change the impact of a look.

👗 Step 5: Recreate the Inspiration — Your Way

Once she’s analyzed her body’s needs and identified the gaps in the inspiration outfit, she rebuilds the look with similar elements — but intentionally chosen ones.

She doesn’t copy the outfit piece by piece. She interprets it based on her FRAME method. The result? A version of the look that suits her proportions perfectly, while still honoring the vibe of the inspiration.

This part made me want to run to my closet and start remixing everything. 🤭

💎 Step 6: Emphasize With Accessories

This final step is often overlooked — but it matters. She finishes the recreated look with accessories that:

• Bring attention to her face

• Define the waist

• Add movement or structure

This is the “icing” that takes the look from good to effortlessly elegant.

🧠 Mindset Shift: You’re Not Dressing Wrong — You’re Just Missing Strategy

At the end of the video, she reminds us that dressing “well” isn’t about following rules or being a certain size — it’s about knowing what your body needs to feel supported, balanced, and elevated.

And most importantly?
You don’t need to change your body. You just need to understand it.

💬 Final Thoughts from Emilly

This video honestly left me inspired. It doesn’t shame or overwhelm — it empowers. The FRAME method gives you a practical lens to approach ANY outfit, any trend, any inspo — and make it yours.

So next time you’re scrolling past that “perfect outfit” and thinking, “I could never pull that off” — stop.
You can. You just need the FRAME to make it fit you.
