Love these ideas! I especially like that the "before" outfits are not that bad, they are just not very imaginative or exciting and so fall a little flat. I think I am guilty of wearing these kinds of outfits now and then so this was very helpful.
Love this. I haven’t subscribed in the past because I hate “hauls” and how they encourage over consumption. Using what you have to update looks (and your analysis of why) changed my mind about your channel. Keep going in this direction.
I agree with this … so so so fed up of hauls, very irresponsible given the state of planet earth at the moment! Would love to see more content like this. Also content that features more considered purchases and styling tips over encouraging consumption. Taking the trends of now and combining them with slow fashion principles to forecast the classic pieces of the future. That would be great!
..but what if you don’t have any of these classic items or anything resembling these classic pieces, I think hauls have a place in this regard as you then know what’s out there, where and you can go to the shop and pick up these items eg a trench coat etc x
Yesss update what's in your wardrobe
It's so hard ro find the balance between individual style (being unique and chic) and keeping up to date with trends ( not looking stuck in the past) especially being nearly 50. I know age shouldn't matter but there is a line you can cross too easily and look too try-hard and like mutton dressed as lamb!! Thank you for your continuing inspiration. BTW.... And tips on making midaxi dresses look less 'nanna at the church fête' without going into mutton territory would be great! I feel the midi or maxi with trainers and a denim jacket or blazer is so boring and frumpy. Please help! 🥰
i think a long sleeveless vest or a trench looks nice and modern with a maxi
@@rubyattwood yessss or a tight fitted turtle neck dress.
@@briannawatkins5846 yesss - but how do we solve the shoe issue? like if you have a maxi skirt, what type of shoe makes it less frumpy?
@@rubyattwood I would say some trendy chunky boots 😉 but what’s your opinion boo?
You should look to Trinny for fashion tips, she’s in her 60’s and is very trendy
Absolutely brilliant Lydia! Your analysis of why some outfits look current and stylish and why some look tired and predictable is so insightful. Thank you this is really helpful.
I like your stayl
Re-discovering what you already have is always uplifting. Please show us how to update the way you wear basics w/out having to add trend pieces. ⭐️
You are such a great “teacher”! I love how you explain all your tips and keep it fresh!
You’re my favorite fashion TH-camr: perfect balance and contrast with effortlessly chic and sophistication!
Just found your channel and am now binge watching. Please do more of these!!! I have all the right pieces, but I’m putting them together all wrong! 😅😂 I think I’ve worn nearly every one of the “avoid” outfits, and can never figure out why i don’t look stylish (even tho i have the right pieces)! I’ve never seen another channel do it this way, and this is SO HELPFUL!! THANK U! ❤
This video is so illuminating. I am older and love classics but wearing them is the quickest way to look stodgy and even older. This was so helpful in showing the concept of adding modern styling to look fresh. So helpful thank you.
Hi Lydia! I love your classic but edgy dress style. I am mostly in modest classic clothes and I find most of your recommendations suit all seasons, occasions, silhouettes, ages and skin tones with the hues of clothes chosen. Thanks for the tips !
Work wear can be basic & boring. I remember one occasion, I was in Target & someone came up to me, thinking I worked there. I realized I was wearing the same style & colors as an employee. THAT was a wakeup call!! I was wearing "classic basics", but in a work wear combination. 😁
What a horror 🤣
Ha ha! A wake up call, for sure!
Hi from the US!! I found you and started watching you when I was down with COVID. Your style, insights, information has literally changed my life!! At 54, I have always suffered from a lack of personal style. I like the chic/casual /classic style but had no idea how to “style” a complete look. I have been purchasing like mad and now feel so excited to get dressed in the morning as I have choices and end up feeling more confident! I’m a high school teacher and even my students make comments on how I look today! My favorite purchases was finding a Valentino black blazer, your brown fur coat, and the By Far Boots!! I can’t thank you enough!!
I can’t wait for you to start making spring and summer videos 😊🌺 Adding: 2022!
I love hearing you think through fashion choices. I feel like it teaches me a lot about fashion!
Thank you so much Lydia for keeping us who live in warmer climates in mind when creating your styling videos.
Oh yes, I do love the pairing of the Oversized Shirt with the Pencil Skirt, Round Neck Jumper with the White T-shirt is so cool and the Double Denim look is a classic pairing👌🏾.
Thank you so very much for sharing Lydia, it's always so inspiring watching all your styling videos 😊. Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend 🤗💕.
Thank you Lydia. Love all your ideas how to update looks without having to constantly invest in new garments. I used to work in finance having to constantly dress up for the boardroom and travel. After a complete career change still looking for ideas to incorporate the classic pieces to teach in primary school.
Essentially “modernizing” these pieces are following what’s been trending for a few years and that is elevated athleisure wear. It’s so interesting to see how subjective taste and the concept of “modernization” is. Some of the before pieces seem dated to you but I’m surprised that you didn’t feel the same about the “Canadian tuxedo” aka double denim, which was a really popular look back around 2016/2017. Around the same time, the before blazer look was also popular.
I think my biggest take away from this video is really that you should a) shop your closet and b) not be afraid to play around with textures and colors and look to online to gain inspiration. What “looks good” or is “modern” is truly in the eyes of the beholder.
I feel exactly the same... Also, the oversized blazer and the exaggerated shoulder trend,, do not look very well on everybody!!
@@caroera-rea9138 yes! Nor do the chunky boots, especially on petite women. My issue with videos like these is that it’s essentially glorified influencers who are giving style advice based on their bodies and bodies that look like them. They’re positioning themselves in these expert or authority roles but they truly lack any qualifications to do so. I always think back to that phrase - is she pretty/does she look good or is she just skinny? P.s. you should check out Emma Hill if you don’t already - her style tips feel more balanced and inclusive, and self-aware!
I agree with you! I've been watching for a few months and starting to feel her style is more for taller girls. Although I do like her style, it's not for me. I will check out Emma Hill！
@@nicola646 but while Emma is really cool, she also wears clothes for more androgynous , skinny women. Try MM personal styling, a very cool UK stylist. She always explains what another bodytype could wear instead
You are the most smart fashion blogger on youtube...please make your next video about how to wear an oversized cardigans...
Great content that I can so much relate to. I love seeing a Boring Before (that I might have put together) transformed into a Chic After. Thank you Miss Lydia!
Excellent video and wonderful tips. I am guilty of the “before” outfits for sure and these are wonderful ways to try and modernize the looks. Thank you!☺️
Congrats on reaching 300K! Love your advice and the comparison between what doesn't look that great and what is better. I need to see it spelled out to understand what looks good and what doesn't. Style doesn't come naturally to me so I appreciate your sharing your gift with us!
I love this type of video. Really helps me to see an updated version of how I’m wearing basics ❤️❤️❤️
I love your content , it’s so hard for me to find styling tips videos that I can inspire too, and your fashion sense and eye for detail so great. Thank you for giving us such amazing fashion advice x
This is so good. Thank you for the thoughtful video!
This was an exceptional video! Beautiful and practical combinations that scream class. Thank you!

Well done Lydia! Your styling videos are always so much fun to watch!
This really helped me out with styling my black pencil skirt and dark wash jeans! Such good ideas. Definitely will get more wear out of them with these ideas !
Love you, Lydia! Your style is the perfect blend between modern and what we already have. Appreciate all the new styling idea. XOX
I love this video format. Very useful to see traditional vs fresh styling!
I always find your advices great, Lydia. Thank you.

Such great content! Thank you for sharing.
Hey Lydia , I loved your ideas , your style is really classy but kinda edgy , which is what I am aiming for, your advices are very helpful thank you for the time and effort you put in to it 💕
Ms Lydia, I truly appreciate the LESS fresh and MORE modern ways to wear one piece; it is revealing and helpful! Thank you for this breath of fresh air..in our wardrobe! :))
Loved this Lydia, upstyling core basics is great. I really enjoyed your take on navy denim I would be guilty of wearing it with black great to see why it doesn’t look great and how to improve 🥰
Thank you 😊 this truly helps ;you rock .
Thank you Lydia!!! Wonderful video, very useful
What a great video concept !! The idea of comparing the two outfits is so convincing ! I am 57, and I would consider wearing what you suggest without feeling ridiculous. Please, do some more ! 🥰🥰🥰
I like the idea of the white tee under the grey sweater great way to bring interest and light to your face.
Wow I learned so much about styling in your video especially with regards to contrast styling. Thank you!
Loved this!In fact it made me realize why some women look dated wearing pieces that other women do but are on point. Do some more pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee🥰
Love love this! 🤩
You are such a hard worker. I love your videos 😀
Another lovely video :D
Loved this! This would be my style but I often find it hard to draw the line between what I wear to the office (which can be bland) versus out of office so this was really helpful!
Keep them coming!❤
Great video, love your style tips
Really useful, thanks for this, would love another version of this focused on updating shoes.
Thanks for the tips 😊
This was so inspiring ❤️👍🏻 very good sense of style
Great video Lydia and congrats on surpassing the 400k mark well deserved 🌟💗🍾🥂
So good!!!
Love this video, i remember when double denim was a complete no-no! I loved the blazer - really lovely
I am soooooo glad I found your page. As a 40 something who lives in a fashion-backwards city, God I need this!
Love the pencil skirt look with the oversized shirt!
Sooo useful!
Very nice girl!! Thank you!!! So helpful!!
Great video and tips, thanks Lydia! I am pear shaped and cannot wear pencil skirts. Could you please do a video on the same topic but for different body shapes. Thank you! Have a great weekend!
😍 camel jacket and red purse so pretty. I’m learning so much from your channel.
Lydia I LOVE your videos. Fashion blogging can sometimes be an exercise in vanity but you really provide a tangible service for people. I have learned so much binging on your channel.
Video request: indoor casual outfits for air conditioned office/public places. I specifically need ideas for chic indoor layering and accessories. I want to be put together and warm throughout my day in a super casual office, but not try-hard.
Love your style!
Love the white shirt underneath the jumper tip!
Enjoying your style content.
I completely agree, that investment in quality classic pieces is the way to go.
I always find it interesting,
to see the slight changes in those aforementioned classics. In how they are presented over the years….
How they are “modernized”
for today.
Also, how the fabric moves and flows or lays- is extremely important. Many times I can tell just from that by sight- what I’m expecting to feel.
What’s fun for me, is that~
I can go into my wardrobe and pull my own looks together~
Because I have my all those core pieces in my decades of my wardrobe (not a minimalist)
I appreciate keeping the “twee” level at a minimum 😎
I’ll also admit to having many cashmeres that are older than you 😉🥰
The white sweater is an interesting choice.
To my vintage eye,
this piece is literally is pulled straight out of the 1980’s TV show “Dynasty” daily wardrobe. Offering some serious Crystal Carrington day dressing vibes…. Due to the shoulder detail and padding.
(oops if it’s a fancy designer 🙊🙈but 🤷🏼♀️) Fun, but this will absolutely date itself. Everyone has several of those pieces- including myself🤐
If you take acetone on a bit of cotton or a Q tip, you can remove black marks off the white rubber edge on trainers 👟
Great tips! Thank you!
Useful tips, thank you!!
You’re the best!
Excellent video 👍
Thank you - you have done it again with your style advice and suggestions. What a great video! Thank you! An idea I have is a wardrobe tour. How you store, maintain and organise your wardrobe? X
Double denim actually works here cause you have that coat but my dilemma is…you get to the restaurant, your friends house or whatever and you have to take the coat off…now your left with a Canadian tuxedo
Very useful thanks 😊
