Has learning about body types made getting dressed easier or harder for you?

For those of you who have gone deep into body typing systems, I'd love to hear your experiences because, over the years, I've tried all kinds of systems: the fruit system, Kibbe, petite/tall recommendations, proportions, and so many "rules" about what is supposed to be flattering. I enjoy learning about them, but I've noticed that the more I know, the more overwhelmed I become and the less I know about what actually flatters me.

Some systems contradict each other, and some seem to require a huge amount of study to make them work. Sometimes I feel like I fit into several categories at once rather than just one. And don't even get me started on all the specific petite/tall and short-torso/long-torso recommendations. I feel less sure about what actually works for me now than I did before I started learning about all these systems.

Has anyone else experienced this? Have body typing systems made dressing easier for you, or harder? Did you end up sticking to one system, taking bits and pieces from several, or just giving up on all of them? And if you feel like you've finally figured out what works for you, what was the turning point?

I'd love to hear everyone's experiences and any lessons you've learned along the way!
