I lost a lot of weight in the past 2 years and I am building up a new wardrobe - I try to add 1 or 2 good pieces per month. Love being able to refer to these videos as I work towards getting the basics. Went out today with my new moto jacket with jeans and boots and was feeling pretty and put together! Thank you!
Yessss!!! Same here!!! And the most exciting thing is not only am I feeling amazing in my well put together clothes I’ve found (also after weight loss) that Erin tells us about, I AM GETTING SOO MANY COMPLIMENTS!! And not that I look good that I lost weight… ppl are commenting specifically about the outfits! … how I’m wearing a specific shoe and oh my jeans .. this way … oh that top looks amazing…. Etc Yay for Erin to teach me how to dress my new middle aged body that I had no clothes for (I dropped from size 3X to size 8 - definitely NOTHING savable.. not even socks!)
Erin, thank you for all the attention to detail and hard work you put into your content. I always get inspired from your energy and enthusiasm. We all need the support during this weird time. You don't shy away from reality and give advice and examples to thrive in style. Thanks for your generosity and sharing your expertise. Enjoying the journey, Valerie
Erin, yesterday I went to Goodwill to see what basics I could find there after watching this video. I found a red Talbot's jacket, a Geoffrey Beene white shirt with a hidden button placket and adorable cuff detail, a black 3/4 sleeve sweater/jacket, two pair of jeans (purchased using the neck measuring technique you shared in another video), and a sleeveless top that's a nice blue that will span several seasons here in Texas. Total expenditure was $52! I am petite like you and finding nice clothes secondhand is a challenge. Feeling very happy and wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely. I took a bunch of photos of my purchases that I will be sharing with my friends on Facebook!
I am all for the baggy jean. It just has to be the right one. Part of looking younger is changing things up in an age appropriate way. Always wearing the same jeans is similar to wearing your hair the same way for 20 years, it ages you. Some will say don't change a classic and that's fine. But for me, being open to change in fashion and shaking things up makes me feel better and not stagnant. Thanks Erin, for always providing such great inspiration! 💜
Just found your channel this past week. My heart is singing! Finally found someone that gets me and what I need/want. I am also 5 ft 4 and nearly the exact shape as you. The clothes in the women’s section in stores give me no shape! I’m 55 and refuse to look frumpy. I have too much class for that 😊Thank you for your wisdom and willingness to do this 💕
I’m with you , I’m barely 5’1 , baggy denim pants are horrible on me .I don’t like wearing high heeled shoes anymore with these baggy pants . I will as always pass on baggy pants.
Yes, agree with the super baggy jean, they definitely aren't as flattering because your shape kind of gets lost in them. I do like a mom jean thats fitted on the hips and butt and has a slightly looser leg.
@@estelajoloya5520 same here, I'm barely 5'2", 112 lbs., short waisted and large chest and the baggy jeans look horrid on me. I don't think they look "sexy" on anyone!
I used to think that but one day I tried one pair of baggy jeans and I loved them they made me look more slim on my thighs now I'm in the hunt for more jeans like this
I like Everlane as well. I have an Everlane purse that is well made, and I love it! It is the purse that Meghan Markel wore on one of her dates with Prince Harry.
Can not tolerate the baggy jeans. They may be "trendy" but they are so unflattering. When styles change that I don't like I just go on to something other than. No easing into them.
I do not like the baggie jeans. I feel they add 10 lbs and appear sloppy. I’m gonna stick with my skinnies. Thanks for your great videos! Always informative!
As someone else here said, the baggie jeans do make the wearer look bowlegged, and like nice jeans are not affordable. Although, if enough women start wearing them, they will maybe catch on like skinny jeans did. I don't know if any of you have run across reruns for The Beverly Hillbillies, but this jean style brings the clothes on that old show to mind. I would be embarrassed to wear them in public. I like very much everything else especially using different jackets to create yet another look. I think most people do not view them for anything but warmth. So, you've inspired me to look for unique jackets to change even the same jeans into many different fashion statements. I love the pretty sweat pants. Where do you find them?
Erin-LOVE your videos. Great suggestions. I love the leather pants, white blouse, cardigan. Thank you for doing these videos-they really help me with ideas for everyday, classy looks. I am 68 and feel your videos are appropriate for me. I can always find something to wear that looks fabulous. Basics are basics. Keep up the great work.❤️
I enjoy my baggy jeans and I’m loving my straight leg ones too! My skinnies just don’t seem as “fresh” but I do wear them some too! Most of all, I absolutely LOVE my high waist jeans! Makes my waist look a bit smaller and hides the muffin top! Love your videos! Great style advice!
It has taken me 4 years to build a good basics wardrobe, because I have invested in quality pieces for my basics. I add one piece per month. It has taken a long time, but now I can get dressed and look put together in 15 minutes! Totally worth the time and money, because I can get dressed quickly, without even having to think about it. I add fast fashion pieces with accessories (scarves, hats, sunglasses, and belts - I have two more pricey basic belts...a brown and black), costume-ique jewelry (although I have also procured a basic jewelry wardrobe as well), and some shoes (again, I have a basic shoes and bags collection). So glad I followed Erin's advice and finally made the commitment...totally worth it! Thanks Erin! 😘
This is my favourite video of any vlog so far this month. So practical and helpful. As a small hipped gal, the new looser Jeans and boot cut trends are fantastic for me and I appreciate the styling examples. I think I’ll look for a cheap faux leather cropped pant. Fun look. I screen shot a few of these looks for my weekend outfits. Thanks Erin. I really appreciate you!
I am not sure, how I feel about those baggy jeans...I think, I will go and try few pairs this week...just see how it fits and looks. Thank you for video!
A black cashmere turtleneck & relaxed jeans, has become my winter uniform for many years, you can add variety with scarves jewellery, bags shoes etc LOVE to be able to get up & go without stressing about what to wear!
I think we've all worn skinnies for so long now transitioning will be hard. I know the idea of wearing them for me is a HUGE mindshift. I'm really glad BusbeeStyle covered this issue in this video. Thanks @busbeestyle!
You are so relatable. Yes I agree loose jeans are hanging in my closet I don't know how to style them yes they are weird to get use to, almost feel frumpy . I needed this vid
I thought I’d hate them too but I got a pair of vintage boys Levi’s that sit really high on my waist and have a wide leg and I find myself wearing them again and again. Way more than my skinnies - which I want to love but just don’t. And i totally find them sexy! Way sexier than skinnies. But I 100% think it’s all about how you feel in them because that’s the energy you’re going to exude! Gotta stick to what makes you feel like a babe! Xx
I feel the same about skinny jeans. As Someone with big calves, (lots of sport in my past) skinny jeans never looked good on me. A pair of black leggings would look better. I am so happy skinny jeans are going out of style because for years that was almost all you could buy in the stores here in Australia.
I love the baggy jeans. I haven't worn jeans all summer and I just put on my cropped, skinny jeans, and you are right. They felt strange and not appropriate. I have some looser jeans that feel very nice. Thanks. I'm ready for the season
Love all those looks!! Thank you for always inspiring! I laughed when you said: “I’m human and I look good!” Lol because I’ve worked from home for years and it’s typically only Saturdays (if I have plans) and Sundays for church that I feel pretty! I live alone so no one else sees me, but some days, I’m just like, I need to feel pretty today!!
Monica~ I definitely feel you on the needing to feel pretty on the days I do leave the house. I care for my elderly in-laws and have several pets which keep me jumping. I have a closet full of beautiful clothes and hardly get to wear them! What a shame! I honestly don't love this baggy jean look but Erin sure can make any outfit look amazing and she is definitely an inspiration!
Tammie Parrish Miller I agree! Erin can rock those jeans! It’s very sweet of you to care for your in laws! I have pets too, 2 dogs and a cat. They keep me active for sure! We have to make an effort now and then to look our best for ourselves!! 💕
I bought one pair of slouchy jeans and I am really loving them. Being fitted in the waist is very flattering and I find many ways to dress them up or down. Everlane slouchy jeans are available in many colors and have a great fit.
Honestly, you are the easiest and most relaxed person to listen to. I value your experience and the way you relay your expertise. One day, could you do a video about alternatives to jeans? I would love to go to work (dress casual) and feel like I can swap out a layer to change the look for after hours. Thank you so much Erin!
YES! I second this. I work in a very professional environment and can only wear jeans 1 day a week and would love some style inspiration on work outfits!
You are so sweet, Sarah! I did do a similar video to your suggestion last fall. I'll leave it linked here for you: th-cam.com/video/40PuAp1SX2Y/w-d-xo.html
Fun and helpful video! The black turtleneck looked so fresh..haven't worn one of those since I was a kid. Will definitely get one. I bought a pair of baggy jeans last summer--fell in love and spent way more than I ever do on jeans, and they are always the first thing I want to wear after I do laundry.
I can’t get into the baggy jean. To me it looks like it has added weight to your already slim figure and gives a bow legged silhouette affect. Maybe just slightly less baggy would work. Thought the gray jeans looked amazing on you.
Erin, Well done!👍Loved this basics video! The number of chic looks that can be done with a few versatile pieces is amazing! Surprised by the chic sweatpants. Thanks walking us through so many looks! (edited to complete thought) ❤️😁
I think you're 100% right on the "luxury loungewear" or sweatpants. Probably one of the most important pieces in a 2020 wardrobe. I need to invest in a pair! And while I'm not a fan of the baggy jean look I think 2020 will make it more popular again as everyone seeks comfort in their clothes. Thanks Erin.
Erin - you do such a great job with your channel! I am 39 years old - but must have an 'old soul' b.c. I would wear all your styles selections, any day , everyday!! Thank you! for all your tips and links.
Wow! You have the best style!!!! Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. I ADORE you, your channel, and your style. Please keep it up. 💖
Love this video, so many great outfit ideas. Luckily I have all these pieces, although my baggy jeans are not super baggy, more straight, but they have a modern look. And the reversible belt I have is black and nude patent, which seems to work better for summer. I would definitely be interested in a black/cinnamon brown belt that you designed, so keep us posted.
First, I love your hair! Great timing for this video. I'm 63, and still have my skinny jeans, but decided recently that I wanted to try boyfriend jeans and have found some great one's on ebay. Particularly Kut from the Kloth Catherine. I'm only 5'3", was hesitant, but between the Kut, Maxx and Express, I'm loving them, plus first time ever really enjoying distressed! !! You are so spot on with wearing a fitted top with the baggier jeans, and especially being short, I'm still working on this new look. Strange that these boyfriend cut seem to fit my body better than many of my skinny jeans. Ty for this video! !✌💕✌
I loved this video so much, I watched it twice!! I wait to watch your videos until I have enough time to fully enjoy and absorb all the deets! I LOVE baggy jeans, reminiscent of Lauren Hutton and Diane Keaton, and ♥️ turtlenecks! Every year my Dad used to pile us in the family wagon and drive to Aspen, before it was a celebrity hangout, and we’d ski, ski, ski, so I grew up wearing turtlenecks and love them! I also love my husband in a good turtleneck, so handsome! Thank you for putting in so much effort on these, I appreciate them and you! 🥰
@@BusbeeStyle I think if you rewatch your video here, you might see they’re not all that flattering on you, either, unless you’re walking around “posing” them in their best light like you do in these vids. No one naturally stands in those poses on a regular basis, leaning on their back leg with their front knee bent and foot on their toe. The right pose can make almost anything look good. Watch as you’re moving, though, in this vid, you’ll notice that the baggy jeans make you actually appear bow-legged, short and stumpy-ish. Not very flattering. Pause at 5:27 and you’ll see. Definitely better with the bootie and heel but even in the heel you got the bowed leg going on (5:44) You look way better in other styles. Swap the jeans for some black flares with that heel and you’d be stunning!
@@BusbeeStyle sure, it’s definitely an “of-the-moment” look... not classic by any means, so whatever floats your boat and makes you happy. As for me, I’d much rather look back at my style through my later years and smile rather than cringe like we all do when we look back on that God-awful high waisted baggy look of the 80s. Watch the latest season of The Haunting Of Bly Manner to refresh your memory or have a good laugh at how silly we all looked back then with those baggy jeans, lol!😜 Looks like how old people with no fashion sense dress today! I know it isn’t easy, doing what you do. It’s a lot of work and I definitely appreciate the majority of your content and I’m glad you are able to appreciate the feed back. Thanks for all your hard work.
I love the jeans! Is there a non-distressed version that you would recommend? I like that these are fitted through the waist and hips. I'm petite too and I would be all over these if they weren't distressed.
I'm so glad! These are not quite as baggy, but they are cute: rstyle.me/+QRCtBTvP5wLv5yt_fsPZRQ . Here are some other options: rstyle.me/+Q9j7ZgPcv4uX1YuLQYEbaw , rstyle.me/+jeH3kIEvUOtoaYNzkty5pw, and rstyle.me/+7XyRSwWIscioi_QvGFjxhw
I simply cannot get behind the new baggy jean trend, Erin. I have good legs and a rectangular body shape, and baggy jeans do nothing for me, nothing - skinny jeans will continue to be my go-to. Love Everlane - have a great backpack, black knit short-sleeve mock-neck top, and day heel shoes in bright red from them, and all are awesome and they ship to Canada - doesn’t get better than that!
Love the idea of a Busbee reversible belt!! These types of videos are so helpful! Your looks are so chic - this is exactly the way I want to present myself to the world. Thanks Erin! Looking forward to hearing more updates on your handbag.
Erin you're the best!!! My capsule wardrobe is awesome because of your tips!!! I just got myself some black Doc Martens and black suede over the knee boots and finally a white and black crewneck cotton knit long sleeved tees for layering. It's cold here in Philly so your layering video helps me all the time!!!! Awesome video!!! #Queen Behavior 👑💜👑💜👑💜👍🏿
This was right up my alley! I actually have many of the pieces you shared. I am a huge fan of Moussy jeans! I discovered them 2 years ago while on a ski trip to Park City Utah. You"ve got great taste and great attention to detail. I live in the northeast and Fall is my favorite time of year-mainly due to my favorite things to wear- Boots, Jeans, jackets, and sweaters. I love ankle boots, mid calf and combat boots! I have several handmade from Italy with incredible leather. Thanks again for your hard work and great video content.
I love the baggy jeans with a tee. I think it’s reminiscent of my high school years and it’s easy going. Also- if you have nothing nice or positive to say- shhh.... these are suggestions with alternative options. Don’t bring us down because of your dislike of something pretty please 🙏
Busbee Style - Fashion Over 40 The folks that like to be negative about your suggestions- that wasn’t targeted at you or your video. I was staring don’t ruin a good video and vibe... the other viewers. I should have been more concise and clear. I was being supportive of your video. It came across another way it seems. Apologies
Thank you again Busbee. I'm watching this again because I'm the only girl in the house and the super bowl, and I like your videos then I noticed I said I didn't like it. No, i always love your videos just clicked the wrong button. I'm going to use this video to put these basics in the front of my close rack. Very helpful and it will make organizing fun!
So many super cute ideas! I have been going through all my stuff in my house (spring cleaning in the fall LOL) anyway my closet clean out is coming up and I'm definitely going to use some of your suggestions and get more basics as well. Love your videos! xoxo
I totally get the pairing a bulkier bottom with a skinnier top thing now.. What's frustrating is that with the weather where I live it is pretty much extremes all year. So there might be 1 day in the year when its like 20 or 22 C for most of the day and I can be comfortable in baggy jeans and a tank or crop top and blazer or something. I just took advantage of one such day last month, it was divine. But normally I want to wear a baggy jean in winter when its also necessary to have that sweater and coat etc so it does get a bit suffocating. I just axed the baggy jean sweatshirt combo the other day and threw on some skinny joggers instead with my super sized sweatshirt. Worked so much better. With a really thin high quality wool top I'll try the baggy jean again.. Maybe with a vest with it. OR a thin turtleneck or sleeveless and a silk blouse on top. Extreme weather is tricky for the balancing of silhouette.
I do the same thing Kelly. Then when I am in the mood I look into my closet, to see what I have to arrange the similar outfit, and then take a picture of it again, and save it : -)
Thanks for reminding me of blazers I love them. Bought a few called Academy from Gap years ago and barely wear them I will try with fitted t-shirts and perhaps turtles necks this winter in S. California. Love all sorts of jackets and have tons. And coats! Looking for suggestions which one suits better a petite need to donate a few old ones. Those blazers I got in a beautiful plum, dark navy, black and one in a gorgeous green I even told the cashier I had no idea how to match this one but I lived the color so much being my favorite. I do wear turtlenecks a few times and being a 5’3 petite they can look actually elongating I do enjoy them when the temperature drops. Also love booties with heels looks more feminine than the comfy sticky heels but I love them all. Crazy about boots long and short love shoes! I need to remember to use those blazers more often though.
Sounds like you have a lot of beautiful things in your closet. Just play...Spend some time putting new outfit combos together and then take some photos for reference! xo
LOVE how you put the blazer with the baggy jeans! I'm glad I kept my Lee's bootcut medium wash (holes and all. Made by me just wearing them constantly). They are just great for balancing curvy hips. And now I'm gonna put them with a black blazer!
That would not be possible in this video, but I do look forward to featuring women with different body shapes here on the channel. Would you like to be one of our models? If so, send me a clear image of yourself in an outfit that you would like help with. My email address is: erin@busbeestyle.com
@@ashleys4652 it could be a series of videos for each body shape, but I agree that's a lot of work. And it's a lot of work now too. Much bigger team would be needed. But I wish it could be done. I am convinced that Erin has amazing sense of taste in fashion, she has great vision and that could be extended to dressing different body shapes.
Wow! Lotsa harsh comments! You're right, the baggy jeans do take a little to get used to but then most up and coming trends do! I SWORE I would NEVER wear bellbottoms again and then found myself shopping for them when they became a full-blown trend! Thank you for keeping us looking fashion-forward which is incredibly important as we age so we can age gracefully and not look like we missed the fashion train altogether and thereby becoming our moms!
I’m 5’8”, short waisted and any jeans that are baggy or cropped jeans look terrible on me! My already skinny legs with small bum make everything look like I’m swimming in it and very unflattering.
Love everything you are showing us!Thank you Erin! Your advice is so much appreciated! We love you! 💝 I’m going to explore the baggy 👀 look💪 I’m starting by wearing straight or a more looser fit jeans and will work my way towards the baggy ones...👌 I have skinny legs so will see...I don’t want to look like my clothes are hanging on me. 😉🧐 Have a great fall! 🍂
Wow! I am impressed how baggy jeans changed their appearance when paired with the romantic black blouse. Even I don't think I can wear a pants of that shape, the magic you just showed is astonishing. You are making a show not just giving tips on how to wear clothes (excellent tips too!). Great pleasure to watch!❤️
I so love the baggier style jean and definitely going to add a pair to my wardrobe this year. I will keep my eyes open online, on my favorite second hand websites. You can always buy a men's jean in a relaxed fit too at thrift stores if you are into thrifting to get that same look.
You look amazing in those baggy jeans! Loving all the different ways you styled them. Since it has been awhile, I was wondering what shoes to wear with the baggies. Thanks for covering all the bases :) So glad turtlenecks are back. Great options!
I wish Everlane made wider shoes .Tried 3 different styles and they were extremely narrow. They are very cute and luxurious but impossible to wear on average to wider foot.
Hey Loveliessss 😝🥰 I’m trying to do a basic winter wardrobe as I’m in Australia.. Shall I stick to the black “cozy” cropped cardigan and black polo sweater? Or is any colour like navy, grey, beige or taupe a basic colour? I’m not sure what route to go? Or is black the best for matching with all these jackets etc? 😘😘😘😘
I see so much hate for the baggy jeans...I found that exact pair of Moussy jeans and while they were still expensive, I LOVE them. They are so flattering at the waist and are the only pair I’ve found that fits my waist and is not tight on my backside and legs. And thank you for taking the time to pronounce Moussy correctly! I’ve seen other you tubers doing the same thing and it was driving me nuts.🤪
I especially love the baggy jeans but I will be trying to see if I can find a pair at Target, etc. It can be challenging when you are on a budget. Thank you for the inspiration.
engelneen These are the perfect item to thrift! I thrifted a pair of beat up men’s Scotch and Soda brand jeans a few years ago for $2! I would put them up again the Moussy brand all day every day!! The men’s section of any thrift store is a treasure trove of goodness!!!!
I can't figure out which jeans are which and I know this videos almost a year old so they might be sold out but can you tell me anyway what the jeans are at 9:02 with the black turtleneck? Even if that style is sold out the jeans themselves look very high quality
I am the first one here ❤️😜I have tried purchasing baggy jeans this year... Sent 3 of them back and finally got fed up and bought a ripped pair of skinny jeans instead
In high school we were rebels and got those orange/tan construction booties at Woolworth's (yes, that long ago) to wear with tights and our uniform skirts.
Great video Erin! I personally love the wide leg crop jeans! I bought a pair from Gap and a pair from Express and I’m having so much fun styling them. I have a tiny waist so it’s perfect for my body shape. I still love my skinny jeans but I love how so many jeans styles are in right now. Fashion is all about having fun with trends and sometimes it takes a while for older people to warm up to trends 😜
Me too...you are most likely a rectangle body shape. I have a video sharing my best tips for adding waist definition: th-cam.com/video/M1yUIqODxRk/w-d-xo.html
Dang, everything I clicked a link on is a couple hundred $$. If I had that kind of money I'd just hire a stylist lol. No offense, I know the price is something some people don't worry about. Maybe, you could consider the the reverse with lower price items in the normal links with alternatives to an expensive item.
I feature a wide range of price points on my channel from luxury to more affordable pieces. I have linked some alternatives at lower prices in the description box below the video. More important than the actual pieces that I'm featuring here is the type of item...You can find similar pieces at whatever price point you wish...you may even have some of these basics already in your closet. xo
She has tons of videos featuring all price points ie/ Walmart fashion and she oftens offers less expensive alternatives - Maybe, you could consider the options out there before calling her out....
I bought the banana republic sweatpants in black. When they arrived I immediately went back to their site and bought the matching hoodie and the matching joggers. I can’t tell you how much I LOVE the fabric. It is just yummy.
You don't have to wear anything that you don't love. Straight jeans are great, because they are looser than skinny jeans and still give you a baggy look without being too oversized. xo
Thank you so much for doing an updated basics with newer trends that are staying for awhile. So so helpful. Thanks to you I now know that my wardrobe was full of frosting and no basics...oops! Also wanted to point out price point. There are a lot of stores where basics are available at different price points and some retail stores are really stepping up their style and quality game. Target, Walmart, H&M and Zara you could get some of those basics. There is also Express, Loft, Madewell etc. My point being it’s out there at every price point. Also shopping online huge thank you Erin!! You have helped so much with learning how to do that better and getting things that actually fit!! That white t and jeans video is awesome!! Shows the amazing potential of your most basic clothing. Reminds me of a challenge I saw...7 pieces and you see how many outfits you can make.
Busbee Style - Fashion Over 40 yes and thank you for featuring many different budget options for women. I think it is very appreciated by your viewers. In this video you mentioned people “coming for you” with the specific higher end brands. I was just trying to reinforce that there are other options out there and that basics can be found everywhere. Like you say it’s about taking the ideas of what you say and show and then implementing them in your outfits with pieces you may have already or that you go out and buy at any price point. Again amazing video and thank you for providing such wonderful and educational content.
Am I the only one that loves the new Jean silhouette? Lol. I’ve been wearing Levi’s ribcage wide leg jeans recently. Perfect on my body (11” difference between my waist and hips- highly recommend this style to curvy peeps). Erin - I love you videos! I’m 38 so not quite in your targeted audience, but keep the good tips coming!
Love this and love your definition of sexy! I work as a stylist and find myself suggesting to women all the time that comfort and subtlety are supremely sexy...much more than blatant tight or a lot of skin showing. There’s certainly room for body hugging...but you don’t NEED that to be sexy. And by the way, I am LOVING the slouchy jeans and wear them all the time! I just have one skinny pair but otherwise it’s vintage men’s denim and gorgeous feminine tops!
How do you keep from getting those tiny holes in the front of the tees from rubbing against the button and zipper of jeans? I have so many t-shirts with this problem.
I remember when skinny jeans came out and most women (including me) thought they were unflattering. Now, we can't get enough of the skinnies. I think the baggy trend will likely be similar...just takes time for us to get used to change. Of course, there are always exceptions and some will never embrace the look and that's ok!
It doesn’t snow here but it’s sooo cold!! I like the Sorel Cate lace mid & Joan of Arctic wedge but we cannot try on as there’s no stores here except for a select few in adventure stores. Can you walk in these for a few hours or do they hurt?
I walk in them all day long...they are one of my favorite boots. Wait till the Nordstrom Sale starts...there will be a pair of these boots included...Tomorrow's video will have all of my top picks! xo
I love an effortless, slouchy, feminine/tomboy look. That’s what style is all about. Playing and juxtaposing looks and feels. Wasn’t ready for the “steal someone’s husband” reference though ... LOL.
As someone who has never liked or looked good in skinny jeans, there is now something good happening in year 2020.
Amen, sis! 😊
I agree
Indeed. I was a flare girl then straight jeans happened to my life. In college, skinnies showed up and I never joined the team. #TeamStraightJeans
Amen! most women think that skinny jeans look good on them, sadly that is not the case.
Amen!
Man....just not a fan of the baggy jeans but definitely needed the refresher on basics!
That's ok, Cindie! They are not for everyone! xo
Me neither- I’m sitting this trend out
I agree with you, when I think of baggy I think a person wants to hide their shape.
It doesn’t flatter any body type in my opinion.
I lost a lot of weight in the past 2 years and I am building up a new wardrobe - I try to add 1 or 2 good pieces per month. Love being able to refer to these videos as I work towards getting the basics. Went out today with my new moto jacket with jeans and boots and was feeling pretty and put together! Thank you!
I love that, Christine! xo
Yessss!!! Same here!!! And the most exciting thing is not only am I feeling amazing in my well put together clothes I’ve found (also after weight loss) that Erin tells us about, I AM GETTING SOO MANY COMPLIMENTS!! And not that I look good that I lost weight… ppl are commenting specifically about the outfits! … how I’m wearing a specific shoe and oh my jeans .. this way … oh that top looks amazing…. Etc Yay for Erin to teach me how to dress my new middle aged body that I had no clothes for (I dropped from size 3X to size 8 - definitely NOTHING savable.. not even socks!)
Nice work!!! Enjoy your new silhouettes ☺️☺️👍
Erin, thank you for all the attention to detail and hard work you put into your content. I always get inspired from your energy and enthusiasm. We all need the support during this weird time. You don't shy away from reality and give advice and examples to thrive in style. Thanks for your generosity and sharing your expertise. Enjoying the journey, Valerie
Thank you, Valleri! You are so sweet! xo
Erin, yesterday I went to Goodwill to see what basics I could find there after watching this video. I found a red Talbot's jacket, a Geoffrey Beene white shirt with a hidden button placket and adorable cuff detail, a black 3/4 sleeve sweater/jacket, two pair of jeans (purchased using the neck measuring technique you shared in another video), and a sleeveless top that's a nice blue that will span several seasons here in Texas. Total expenditure was $52! I am petite like you and finding nice clothes secondhand is a challenge. Feeling very happy and wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely. I took a bunch of photos of my purchases that I will be sharing with my friends on Facebook!
Wow, you scored, Holly! xo
I like the jeans. Sadly they only go up to size 30. Can you suggest some for regular sized ladies 12+
"You don't need to dress like you are stealing someone's husband." LOL
Thank you for appreciating my joke! 😉🥰
That was funny 😄
Yeah, good one 😃
I also loved that... it made me subscribe!!
😂
Always love your videos. Have gotten a lot of useful tips. Have to say the baggy jeans give a bow-legged effect. Love all the other things.
Glad you like them! Don't feel like you have to wear a baggy pant if you are not feeling it. xo
I am all for the baggy jean. It just has to be the right one. Part of looking younger is changing things up in an age appropriate way. Always wearing the same jeans is similar to wearing your hair the same way for 20 years, it ages you. Some will say don't change a classic and that's fine. But for me, being open to change in fashion and shaking things up makes me feel better and not stagnant. Thanks Erin, for always providing such great inspiration! 💜
I totally agree, Linda!
Linda S Great response!
Good point
I'm 4 foot 11, 110lbs. Baggy jeans make me look like a stubby troll. No I'm not going follow that trend.
Just found your channel this past week. My heart is singing! Finally found someone that gets me and what I need/want. I am also 5 ft 4 and nearly the exact shape as you. The clothes in the women’s section in stores give me no shape! I’m 55 and refuse to look frumpy. I have too much class for that 😊Thank you for your wisdom and willingness to do this 💕
You are so welcome, Diana! SO glad you found me and that you are enjoying my content! xo
Me too, Diana!
Found her today, and I’m hooked.
I just can’t make myself like the jeans that fit baggy
I’m with you , I’m barely 5’1 , baggy denim pants are horrible on me .I don’t like wearing high heeled shoes anymore with these baggy pants . I will as always pass on baggy pants.
That's ok...maybe try a straight leg. xo
Yes, agree with the super baggy jean, they definitely aren't as flattering because your shape kind of gets lost in them. I do like a mom jean thats fitted on the hips and butt and has a slightly looser leg.
@@estelajoloya5520 same here, I'm barely 5'2", 112 lbs., short waisted and large chest and the baggy jeans look horrid on me. I don't think they look "sexy" on anyone!
I have to agree with Kathryn P, baggy jeans are not flattering on thin or heavier women.
The baggy jeans are a no-no, they are not flattering and they look frumpy to me.
If you don't love them, there is no need to wear them. xo
I used to think that but one day I tried one pair of baggy jeans and I loved them they made me look more slim on my thighs now I'm in the hunt for more jeans like this
Add a fitted button down or a turtle neck with a nice belt and cool shoes & you just crossed the finish line!
Baggy jeans are not made for short women. The light wash on those jeans is very unflattering. They might look better in a darker wash.
I like Everlane as well. I have an Everlane purse that is well made, and I love it! It is the purse that Meghan Markel wore on one of her dates with Prince Harry.
Can not tolerate the baggy jeans. They may be "trendy" but they are so unflattering. When styles change that I don't like I just go on to something other than. No easing into them.
No need to wear what you don't like. If you want to try a looser fit without going full on baggy, try a straight leg. xo
I’m there with you. I don’t think the loose fit suit the majority of people... definitely not me. They may look old but not flattering.
For me and my shape, I prefer a looser fit jean. No skinny jeans for me. Find what is most comfortable for you.
I agree with you, Carol. They don't look good on anyone.
I totally agree with you, these jeans look frumpy! Not for me
I do not like the baggie jeans. I feel they add 10 lbs and appear sloppy. I’m gonna stick with my skinnies. Thanks for your great videos! Always informative!
You are so welcome! That's fine. Never wear what you don't love! xo
As someone else here said, the baggie jeans do make the wearer look bowlegged, and like nice jeans are not affordable. Although, if enough women start wearing them, they will maybe catch on like skinny jeans did. I don't know if any of you have run across reruns for The Beverly Hillbillies, but this jean style brings the clothes on that old show to mind. I would be embarrassed to wear them in public. I like very much everything else especially using different jackets to create yet another look. I think most people do not view them for anything but warmth. So, you've inspired me to look for unique jackets to change even the same jeans into many different fashion statements. I love the pretty sweat pants. Where do you find them?
Erin-LOVE your videos. Great suggestions. I love the leather pants, white blouse, cardigan. Thank you for doing these videos-they really help me with ideas for everyday, classy looks. I am 68 and feel your videos are appropriate for me. I can always find something to wear that looks fabulous. Basics are basics. Keep up the great work.❤️
Thank you, Rosemary! xo
I LOVE the baggy jeans. I am finding that I don't reach for my skinny jeans nearly as much as I used to. I want every outfit in this video!
Me too, but I still love my skinny jeans! xo
I enjoy my baggy jeans and I’m
loving my straight leg ones too! My skinnies just don’t seem as “fresh” but I do wear them some too! Most of all, I absolutely LOVE my high waist jeans! Makes my waist look a bit smaller and hides the muffin top! Love your videos! Great style advice!
It has taken me 4 years to build a good basics wardrobe, because I have invested in quality pieces for my basics. I add one piece per month. It has taken a long time, but now I can get dressed and look put together in 15 minutes! Totally worth the time and money, because I can get dressed quickly, without even having to think about it. I add fast fashion pieces with accessories (scarves, hats, sunglasses, and belts - I have two more pricey basic belts...a brown and black), costume-ique jewelry (although I have also procured a basic jewelry wardrobe as well), and some shoes (again, I have a basic shoes and bags collection). So glad I followed Erin's advice and finally made the commitment...totally worth it! Thanks Erin! 😘
I'm impressed, Stacy! Way to go...I love that you have focussed on building a wonderful foundation of high quality basics! xo
This is my favourite video of any vlog so far this month. So practical and helpful. As a small hipped gal, the new looser Jeans and boot cut trends are fantastic for me and I appreciate the styling examples. I think I’ll look for a cheap faux leather cropped pant. Fun look. I screen shot a few of these looks for my weekend outfits. Thanks Erin. I really appreciate you!
You're so welcome, Paula! xo
Im just glad straight jeans are plentiful again. I wear Everlane’s 90’s cheeky straight jeans. Perfect non stretch denim. Big fan!
“You don’t need to dress like you’re going to steal somebody else’s husband.” Erin - that made me laugh out loud at 6am in the morning! 🥰
Me too
That was so funny 😂
Me three!! 🤣🤣🤣
Loved that!!
😆
I am not sure, how I feel about those baggy jeans...I think, I will go and try few pairs this week...just see how it fits and looks. Thank you for video!
Erin, in this video you look so good, healthy and sympathetic; as always, thank you so much for sharing these information with us
You're so welcome, Saida! xo
A black cashmere turtleneck & relaxed jeans, has become my winter uniform for many years, you can add variety with scarves jewellery, bags shoes etc LOVE to be able to get up & go without stressing about what to wear!
Sorry but I really don’t like those baggy jeans, looks sloppy 👎🏻
That's ok, Kathryn! You never have to wear anything that you don't love. xo
I think we've all worn skinnies for so long now transitioning will be hard. I know the idea of wearing them for me is a HUGE mindshift. I'm really glad BusbeeStyle covered this issue in this video. Thanks @busbeestyle!
Completely agree! you must take in account your body shape and those are not friendly to most body shapes! Everything else is great!
Ooo! I love those camel color sweat pants. This was a great video. Thanks Erin
I agree. I hate the baggy jeans.
You are so relatable. Yes I agree loose jeans are hanging in my closet I don't know how to style them yes they are weird to get use to, almost feel frumpy . I needed this vid
Big NO on those baggy jeans. Flare leg ok but those are terrible.
You never have to wear anything that you don't love. This is the year of diverse jean silhouettes so there are plenty available including flares. xo
I thought I’d hate them too but I got a pair of vintage boys Levi’s that sit really high on my waist and have a wide leg and I find myself wearing them again and again. Way more than my skinnies - which I want to love but just don’t. And i totally find them sexy! Way sexier than skinnies. But I 100% think it’s all about how you feel in them because that’s the energy you’re going to exude! Gotta stick to what makes you feel like a babe! Xx
I just can't get into the jeans. Not for me. Glad there are other options!
I feel the same about skinny jeans. As Someone with big calves, (lots of sport in my past) skinny jeans never looked good on me. A pair of black leggings would look better. I am so happy skinny jeans are going out of style because for years that was almost all you could buy in the stores here in Australia.
I love the baggy jeans. I haven't worn jeans all summer and I just put on my cropped, skinny jeans, and you are right. They felt strange and not appropriate. I have some looser jeans that feel very nice. Thanks. I'm ready for the season
Love all those looks!! Thank you for always inspiring! I laughed when you said: “I’m human and I look good!” Lol because I’ve worked from home for years and it’s typically only Saturdays (if I have plans) and Sundays for church that I feel pretty! I live alone so no one else sees me, but some days, I’m just like, I need to feel pretty today!!
Monica~ I definitely feel you on the needing to feel pretty on the days I do leave the house. I care for my elderly in-laws and have several pets which keep me jumping. I have a closet full of beautiful clothes and hardly get to wear them! What a shame! I honestly don't love this baggy jean look but Erin sure can make any outfit look amazing and she is definitely an inspiration!
I'm so glad, Monica! Sometimes you just have to dress for yourself...even if nobody sees you. xo
Tammie Parrish Miller I agree! Erin can rock those jeans! It’s very sweet of you to care for your in laws! I have pets too, 2 dogs and a cat. They keep me active for sure! We have to make an effort now and then to look our best for ourselves!! 💕
I bought one pair of slouchy jeans and I am really loving them. Being fitted in the waist is very flattering and I find many ways to dress them up or down. Everlane slouchy jeans are available in many colors and have a great fit.
Honestly, you are the easiest and most relaxed person to listen to. I value your experience and the way you relay your expertise. One day, could you do a video about alternatives to jeans? I would love to go to work (dress casual) and feel like I can swap out a layer to change the look for after hours. Thank you so much Erin!
YES! I second this. I work in a very professional environment and can only wear jeans 1 day a week and would love some style inspiration on work outfits!
You are so sweet, Sarah! I did do a similar video to your suggestion last fall. I'll leave it linked here for you: th-cam.com/video/40PuAp1SX2Y/w-d-xo.html
Fun and helpful video! The black turtleneck looked so fresh..haven't worn one of those since I was a kid. Will definitely get one. I bought a pair of baggy jeans last summer--fell in love and spent way more than I ever do on jeans, and they are always the first thing I want to wear after I do laundry.
That's how you know you found the right pair! xo
I love every single piece you've shown! This is the first time in a LONG time I've been super excited about fashion. Great job Erin!!
Yay! That's great, Heather! SO glad you liked this one! xo
I love this softer look you're wearing, it makes you look younger than your more recent looks (strong heavy lipstick)!
I can’t get into the baggy jean. To me it looks like it has added weight to your already slim figure and gives a bow legged silhouette affect. Maybe just slightly less baggy would work. Thought the gray jeans looked amazing on you.
Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your comment! xo
Rknrlgrl I thought so too. I commented that above before I saw your comment.
I love a fitted black turtleneck. I guess that is one of my "signatures" that you talk about. Great video!
Erin, Well done!👍Loved this basics video! The number of chic looks that can be done with a few versatile pieces is amazing! Surprised by the chic sweatpants. Thanks walking us through so many looks! (edited to complete thought) ❤️😁
Thanks so much, Shirley! xo
I think you're 100% right on the "luxury loungewear" or sweatpants. Probably one of the most important pieces in a 2020 wardrobe. I need to invest in a pair! And while I'm not a fan of the baggy jean look I think 2020 will make it more popular again as everyone seeks comfort in their clothes. Thanks Erin.
Erin - you do such a great job with your channel! I am 39 years old - but must have an 'old soul' b.c. I would wear all your styles selections, any day , everyday!! Thank you! for all your tips and links.
Thank you so much, Katherine! xo
Wow! You have the best style!!!! Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. I ADORE you, your channel, and your style. Please keep it up. 💖
Thank you so much! You are SO sweet! xo
Love this video, so many great outfit ideas. Luckily I have all these pieces, although my baggy jeans are not super baggy, more straight, but they have a modern look. And the reversible belt I have is black and nude patent, which seems to work better for summer. I would definitely be interested in a black/cinnamon brown belt that you designed, so keep us posted.
Thank you, Krista! I'll definitely keep you posted. xo
Also, I added a modern cut jeans and it’s not that hard to get used to looser fitting jeans. I like them.
I like the baggy jean look myself. It's refreshing.
Me too! xo
Would you do a video on simple ways to alter last years clothes to make them current? Boxy, too large tops; what to do besides a belt?
Great suggestion, Braden! xo
First, I love your hair! Great timing for this video. I'm 63, and still have my skinny jeans, but decided recently that I wanted to try boyfriend jeans and have found some great one's on ebay. Particularly Kut from the Kloth Catherine. I'm only 5'3", was hesitant, but between the Kut, Maxx and Express, I'm loving them, plus first time ever really enjoying distressed! !! You are so spot on with wearing a fitted top with the baggier jeans, and especially being short, I'm still working on this new look. Strange that these boyfriend cut seem to fit my body better than many of my skinny jeans. Ty for this video! !✌💕✌
That's great, Julie! Thank you for sharing! xo
I loved this video so much, I watched it twice!! I wait to watch your videos until I have enough time to fully enjoy and absorb all the deets! I LOVE baggy jeans, reminiscent of Lauren Hutton and Diane Keaton, and ♥️ turtlenecks! Every year my Dad used to pile us in the family wagon and drive to Aspen, before it was a celebrity hangout, and we’d ski, ski, ski, so I grew up wearing turtlenecks and love them! I also love my husband in a good turtleneck, so handsome! Thank you for putting in so much effort on these, I appreciate them and you! 🥰
You're so welcome, Gretchen! xo
💟
I have to pass on the baggy jeans remind me of cowboy chaps. Not flattering on me at all.
Yes! Chaps 🤣🤣🤣
They are not for everyone, Jane. While I love how these baggy jeans look, you should never feel pressure to wear any style that doesn't excite you! xo
@@BusbeeStyle I think if you rewatch your video here, you might see they’re not all that flattering on you, either, unless you’re walking around “posing” them in their best light like you do in these vids. No one naturally stands in those poses on a regular basis, leaning on their back leg with their front knee bent and foot on their toe. The right pose can make almost anything look good. Watch as you’re moving, though, in this vid, you’ll notice that the baggy jeans make you actually appear bow-legged, short and stumpy-ish. Not very flattering. Pause at 5:27 and you’ll see. Definitely better with the bootie and heel but even in the heel you got the bowed leg going on (5:44) You look way better in other styles. Swap the jeans for some black flares with that heel and you’d be stunning!
Thank you for your feedback, but I am still a big fan of them. It's ok to have different opinions. xo
@@BusbeeStyle sure, it’s definitely an “of-the-moment” look... not classic by any means, so whatever floats your boat and makes you happy. As for me, I’d much rather look back at my style through my later years and smile rather than cringe like we all do when we look back on that God-awful high waisted baggy look of the 80s. Watch the latest season of The Haunting Of Bly Manner to refresh your memory or have a good laugh at how silly we all looked back then with those baggy jeans, lol!😜 Looks like how old people with no fashion sense dress today! I know it isn’t easy, doing what you do. It’s a lot of work and I definitely appreciate the majority of your content and I’m glad you are able to appreciate the feed back. Thanks for all your hard work.
I love the jeans! Is there a non-distressed version that you would recommend? I like that these are fitted through the waist and hips. I'm petite too and I would be all over these if they weren't distressed.
I'm so glad! These are not quite as baggy, but they are cute: rstyle.me/+QRCtBTvP5wLv5yt_fsPZRQ . Here are some other options: rstyle.me/+Q9j7ZgPcv4uX1YuLQYEbaw , rstyle.me/+jeH3kIEvUOtoaYNzkty5pw, and rstyle.me/+7XyRSwWIscioi_QvGFjxhw
Busbee Style - Fashion Over 40 Thank you!
GREAT video! I can plan a whole week’s worth of outfits from this and then some!👏🏻
Love my wide-leg jeans with black sleeveless turtleneck top and black strappy heel sandals. My go to.
I simply cannot get behind the new baggy jean trend, Erin. I have good legs and a rectangular body shape, and baggy jeans do nothing for me, nothing - skinny jeans will continue to be my go-to. Love Everlane - have a great backpack, black knit short-sleeve mock-neck top, and day heel shoes in bright red from them, and all are awesome and they ship to Canada - doesn’t get better than that!
That's ok, Grace! No need to ever wear what you don't like. xo
Love the idea of a Busbee reversible belt!! These types of videos are so helpful! Your looks are so chic - this is exactly the way I want to present myself to the world. Thanks Erin! Looking forward to hearing more updates on your handbag.
Thank you so much! I'll share more as soon as I receive the samples! xo
Erin you're the best!!! My capsule wardrobe is awesome because of your tips!!! I just got myself some black Doc Martens and black suede over the knee boots and finally a white and black crewneck cotton knit long sleeved tees for layering. It's cold here in Philly so your layering video helps me all the time!!!! Awesome video!!! #Queen Behavior 👑💜👑💜👑💜👍🏿
You are so sweet! Thank you! xo
This was right up my alley! I actually have many of the pieces you shared. I am a huge fan of Moussy jeans! I discovered them 2 years ago while on a ski trip to Park City Utah. You"ve got great taste and great attention to detail. I live in the northeast and Fall is my favorite time of year-mainly due to my favorite things to wear- Boots, Jeans, jackets, and sweaters. I love ankle boots, mid calf and combat boots! I have several handmade from Italy with incredible leather. Thanks again for your hard work and great video content.
Thank you, Amy! You are so sweet! xo
I love the baggy jeans with a tee. I think it’s reminiscent of my high school years and it’s easy going. Also- if you have nothing nice or positive to say- shhh.... these are suggestions with alternative options. Don’t bring us down because of your dislike of something pretty please 🙏
Thanks sweet girl!!
I'm not sure what you are referring to, Stefani! I really do pride myself on being a very positive person. xo
Busbee Style - Fashion Over 40 The folks that like to be negative about your suggestions- that wasn’t targeted at you or your video. I was staring don’t ruin a good video and vibe... the other viewers. I should have been more concise and clear. I was being supportive of your video. It came across another way it seems. Apologies
I think she was referring to those making comments, most certainly not you, Erin. You are indeed a positive person!
@@BusbeeStyle I think she was talking to us...the baggy jeaned naysayers ;) lol...
Thank you again Busbee. I'm watching this again because I'm the only girl in the house and the super bowl, and I like your videos then I noticed I said I didn't like it. No, i always love your videos just clicked the wrong button. I'm going to use this video to put these basics in the front of my close rack. Very helpful and it will make organizing fun!
You are so welcome, Heidi! I'm SO glad that you found it helpful! xo
So many super cute ideas! I have been going through all my stuff in my house (spring cleaning in the fall LOL) anyway my closet clean out is coming up and I'm definitely going to use some of your suggestions and get more basics as well. Love your videos! xoxo
Thank you, Anne-Marie! So glad you found this helpful! xo
I echo your comment.
@@BusbeeStyle what size Everlane black turtleneck are you wearing here Erin? You're the same height and weight as I am.
I totally get the pairing a bulkier bottom with a skinnier top thing now.. What's frustrating is that with the weather where I live it is pretty much extremes all year. So there might be 1 day in the year when its like 20 or 22 C for most of the day and I can be comfortable in baggy jeans and a tank or crop top and blazer or something. I just took advantage of one such day last month, it was divine. But normally I want to wear a baggy jean in winter when its also necessary to have that sweater and coat etc so it does get a bit suffocating. I just axed the baggy jean sweatshirt combo the other day and threw on some skinny joggers instead with my super sized sweatshirt. Worked so much better. With a really thin high quality wool top I'll try the baggy jean again.. Maybe with a vest with it. OR a thin turtleneck or sleeveless and a silk blouse on top. Extreme weather is tricky for the balancing of silhouette.
This video is incredibly helpful Erin. I took screenshots along the way! Thank you so much!!!
Glad it was helpful! The screenshots will be great for reference! xo
I do the same thing Kelly. Then when I am in the mood I look into my closet, to see what I have to arrange the similar outfit, and then take a picture of it again, and save it : -)
I did the same!!
@@tzmalec I do the same. :D
Thanks for reminding me of blazers I love them. Bought a few called Academy from Gap years ago and barely wear them I will try with fitted t-shirts and perhaps turtles necks this winter in S. California. Love all sorts of jackets and have tons. And coats! Looking for suggestions which one suits better a petite need to donate a few old ones. Those blazers I got in a beautiful plum, dark navy, black and one in a gorgeous green I even told the cashier I had no idea how to match this one but I lived the color so much being my favorite. I do wear turtlenecks a few times and being a 5’3 petite they can look actually elongating I do enjoy them when the temperature drops. Also love booties with heels looks more feminine than the comfy sticky heels but I love them all. Crazy about boots long and short love shoes! I need to remember to use those blazers more often though.
Sounds like you have a lot of beautiful things in your closet. Just play...Spend some time putting new outfit combos together and then take some photos for reference! xo
I just found your channel. I liked they way you filmed this video and spoke. Great stuff and age appropriate. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Jayne! xo
LOVE how you put the blazer with the baggy jeans! I'm glad I kept my Lee's bootcut medium wash (holes and all. Made by me just wearing them constantly). They are just great for balancing curvy hips. And now I'm gonna put them with a black blazer!
Go for it! ~Team Busbee
I would love if you could show each look on different body types!
The videos would be 2 hrs long and logistically alot of work for Erin. She already puts so much detail into her videos.
That would not be possible in this video, but I do look forward to featuring women with different body shapes here on the channel. Would you like to be one of our models? If so, send me a clear image of yourself in an outfit that you would like help with. My email address is: erin@busbeestyle.com
@@ashleys4652 it could be a series of videos for each body shape, but I agree that's a lot of work. And it's a lot of work now too. Much bigger team would be needed. But I wish it could be done. I am convinced that Erin has amazing sense of taste in fashion, she has great vision and that could be extended to dressing different body shapes.
Wow! Lotsa harsh comments! You're right, the baggy jeans do take a little to get used to but then most up and coming trends do! I SWORE I would NEVER wear bellbottoms again and then found myself shopping for them when they became a full-blown trend! Thank you for keeping us looking fashion-forward which is incredibly important as we age so we can age gracefully and not look like we missed the fashion train altogether and thereby becoming our moms!
Exactly! You are so right...nobody wants to be left behind! xo
I’m 5’8”, short waisted and any jeans that are baggy or cropped jeans look terrible on me! My already skinny legs with small bum make everything look like I’m swimming in it and very unflattering.
You never have to wear anything that you don't love. If you decide to try, pick a pair that are fitted at the top and are baggy in the legs. xo
Watching again! Thank YOU! Now I have stuff to showcase my flashier pieces that languished in the closet, never worn Once.
Love everything you are showing us!Thank you Erin! Your advice is so much appreciated! We love you! 💝
I’m going to explore the baggy 👀 look💪 I’m starting by wearing straight or a more looser fit jeans and will work my way towards the baggy ones...👌 I have skinny legs so will see...I don’t want to look like my clothes are hanging on me. 😉🧐 Have a great fall! 🍂
I'm so glad you liked this one, Ali! That's a perfect plan! xo
Wow! I am impressed how baggy jeans changed their appearance when paired with the romantic black blouse. Even I don't think I can wear a pants of that shape, the magic you just showed is astonishing. You are making a show not just giving tips on how to wear clothes (excellent tips too!). Great pleasure to watch!❤️
I so love the baggier style jean and definitely going to add a pair to my wardrobe this year. I will keep my eyes open online, on my favorite second hand websites. You can always buy a men's jean in a relaxed fit too at thrift stores if you are into thrifting to get that same look.
Great tip! xo
You look amazing in those baggy jeans! Loving all the different ways you styled them. Since it has been awhile, I was wondering what shoes to wear with the baggies. Thanks for covering all the bases :) So glad turtlenecks are back. Great options!
Thank you, Kathy! I primarily wear my booties, but sometimes a casual sneaker. xo
I wish Everlane made wider shoes .Tried 3 different styles and they were extremely narrow. They are very cute and luxurious but impossible to wear on average to wider foot.
That's a shame...I have found them to be a bit narrow as well. xo
Hey Loveliessss 😝🥰 I’m trying to do a basic winter wardrobe as I’m in Australia.. Shall I stick to the black “cozy” cropped cardigan and black polo sweater? Or is any colour like navy, grey, beige or taupe a basic colour? I’m not sure what route to go? Or is black the best for matching with all these jackets etc? 😘😘😘😘
You can pick any of the neutrals for your basics...Just make sure you pick a tone that mixes and matches well with all of your other clothes. xo
Thank you Erin 🥰🤩
I see so much hate for the baggy jeans...I found that exact pair of Moussy jeans and while they were still expensive, I LOVE them. They are so flattering at the waist and are the only pair I’ve found that fits my waist and is not tight on my backside and legs. And thank you for taking the time to pronounce Moussy correctly! I’ve seen other you tubers doing the same thing and it was driving me nuts.🤪
I'm so glad that you love them. It is a hard silhouette to get used to, but I'm loving them. xo
I love the baggy jeans too!
This is the most convincing video I’ve seen about why we need to fill in the basics in our wardrobe if we don’t already have them. I’m working on it.
So glad this was helpful! xo
I especially love the baggy jeans but I will be trying to see if I can find a pair at Target, etc. It can be challenging when you are on a budget. Thank you for the inspiration.
engelneen These are the perfect item to thrift! I thrifted a pair of beat up men’s Scotch and Soda brand jeans a few years ago for $2! I would put them up again the Moussy brand all day every day!! The men’s section of any thrift store is a treasure trove of goodness!!!!
You're so welcome! I hope you find some great pieces! xo
There are some great ones at J Crew
I can't figure out which jeans are which and I know this videos almost a year old so they might be sold out but can you tell me anyway what the jeans are at 9:02 with the black turtleneck? Even if that style is sold out the jeans themselves look very high quality
They are from Moussy...I don't see the exact ones anywhere, but these are the closest that I have found: go.magik.ly/ml/19wta/
@@BusbeeStyle awesome thank you so much!
Thank you Erin! All good. It will be hard to get used to a looser fit jean, but it will be good. Really baggy? Wouldn't go that far.
It is a bit difficult to transition, Roberta. Start with just a more relaxed straight leg pant. xo
I am the first one here ❤️😜I have tried purchasing baggy jeans this year... Sent 3 of them back and finally got fed up and bought a ripped pair of skinny jeans instead
It does take a while to find the right pair! xo
Hi Erin...you feature a lot of black and white but I wear neither as they don’t flatter my skin or hair color. Please give other neutral options.
I do however I've been incorporating a lot of camel and brown tones this season throughout my recent videos. xo
Those baggy jeans are like Bermuda shorts-completely unflattering. Don’t be a slave to fashion trends. I would never wear those
You don't have to wear anything that you don't love. I am having fun with them and I love how they look, but they are not for everyone. xo
Just wait and see . . .
In high school we were rebels and got those orange/tan construction booties at Woolworth's (yes, that long ago) to wear with tights and our uniform skirts.
Great video Erin! I personally love the wide leg crop jeans! I bought a pair from Gap and a pair from Express and I’m having so much fun styling them. I have a tiny waist so it’s perfect for my body shape. I still love my skinny jeans but I love how so many jeans styles are in right now. Fashion is all about having fun with trends and sometimes it takes a while for older people to warm up to trends 😜
Thank you, Lucy! It takes most people a little while to warm up to different trends and silhouettes. xo
I love this video! I guess because you literally 'show' the different looks for a basic. Sooo helpful!
I'm so glad this was helpful, Maggie! xo
Love baggy and boyfriends!! Blazers rock!
Me too, Angela! xo
I love the classics but I am shaped more like a tree trunk (straight up and down) So how do I add some curves.
Me too...you are most likely a rectangle body shape. I have a video sharing my best tips for adding waist definition: th-cam.com/video/M1yUIqODxRk/w-d-xo.html
Dang, everything I clicked a link on is a couple hundred $$. If I had that kind of money I'd just hire a stylist lol. No offense, I know the price is something some people don't worry about. Maybe, you could consider the the reverse with lower price items in the normal links with alternatives to an expensive item.
I feature a wide range of price points on my channel from luxury to more affordable pieces. I have linked some alternatives at lower prices in the description box below the video. More important than the actual pieces that I'm featuring here is the type of item...You can find similar pieces at whatever price point you wish...you may even have some of these basics already in your closet. xo
She has tons of videos featuring all price points ie/ Walmart fashion and she oftens offers less expensive alternatives - Maybe, you could consider the options out there before calling her out....
I get your disenchantment with the prices but, we can search for a similar look for less money.
Wow, just viewing in 2023 and this is still sooo very informative and inspiring, thankyou so much, From a new girl in need of a new wardrobe….
Highly appreciate your way of freshing up 40 somethings to what we are: amazing! Thanks for the reminder!!
You are so welcome! xo
I bought the banana republic sweatpants in black. When they arrived I immediately went back to their site and bought the matching hoodie and the matching joggers. I can’t tell you how much I LOVE the fabric. It is just yummy.
I'm so glad, Mary! I agree...that set just feels amazing! xo
Definitely not into the baggy jeans. I am petite and slim and omg they do not enhance my figure at all. I love my straight leg and skinny jeans.
You don't have to wear anything that you don't love. Straight jeans are great, because they are looser than skinny jeans and still give you a baggy look without being too oversized. xo
@@BusbeeStyle Is the Skinny Jean making an exit?
The express blazer is super cute. However has 3/4 sleeves. Wouldn’t it look like it was too small or didn’t fit right? Maybe would be ok for summer.
3/4 sleeves are super popular on blazers right now. I love the look! xo
Hey Erin!! Loved this, the camel sweatpants were my fave! Love the Kamali, too!! ❤️ Lisa
Thanks, Lisa! They are so comfortable! xo
Thank you so much for doing an updated basics with newer trends that are staying for awhile. So so helpful. Thanks to you I now know that my wardrobe was full of frosting and no basics...oops!
Also wanted to point out price point. There are a lot of stores where basics are available at different price points and some retail stores are really stepping up their style and quality game. Target,
Walmart, H&M and Zara you could get some of those basics. There is also Express, Loft, Madewell etc. My point being it’s out there at every price point.
Also shopping online huge thank you Erin!! You have helped so much with learning how to do that better and getting things that actually fit!!
That white t and jeans video is awesome!! Shows the amazing potential of your most basic clothing. Reminds me of a challenge I saw...7 pieces and you see how many outfits you can make.
Very true...You can find basics at any price point. I have a lot of content featuring Walmart and Express items on my channel and on my blog.
Busbee Style - Fashion Over 40 yes and thank you for featuring many different budget options for women. I think it is very appreciated by your viewers. In this video you mentioned people “coming for you” with the specific higher end brands. I was just trying to reinforce that there are other options out there and that basics can be found everywhere. Like you say it’s about taking the ideas of what you say and show and then implementing them in your outfits with pieces you may have already or that you go out and buy at any price point. Again amazing video and thank you for providing such wonderful and educational content.
Am I the only one that loves the new Jean silhouette? Lol. I’ve been wearing Levi’s ribcage wide leg jeans recently. Perfect on my body (11” difference between my waist and hips- highly recommend this style to curvy peeps). Erin - I love you videos! I’m 38 so not quite in your targeted audience, but keep the good tips coming!
I'm with you, Kristen! So glad you love my videos! xo
I LOVE the baggy jeans!!!
Thank you! Me too, Terri! xo
Love this and love your definition of sexy! I work as a stylist and find myself suggesting to women all the time that comfort and subtlety are supremely sexy...much more than blatant tight or a lot of skin showing. There’s certainly room for body hugging...but you don’t NEED that to be sexy.
And by the way, I am LOVING the slouchy jeans and wear them all the time! I just have one skinny pair but otherwise it’s vintage men’s denim and gorgeous feminine tops!
How do you keep from getting those tiny holes in the front of the tees from rubbing against the button and zipper of jeans? I have so many t-shirts with this problem.
I remember when skinny jeans came out and most women (including me) thought they were unflattering. Now, we can't get enough of the skinnies. I think the baggy trend will likely be similar...just takes time for us to get used to change. Of course, there are always exceptions and some will never embrace the look and that's ok!
I agree, Suzanne! xo
I think skinnies look really dated now.
I agree!!!!!
I HATED SKINNY JEANS....LOL
Hey Erin.. Basic Ankle boot wise.. do you need a lace up black Combat and a Chelsea? I have a black Pointy Stiletto heel one already.. thank you 🙏
It doesn’t snow here but it’s sooo cold!! I like the Sorel Cate lace mid & Joan of Arctic wedge
but we cannot try on as there’s no stores here except for a select few in adventure stores. Can you walk in these for a few hours or do they hurt?
I walk in them all day long...they are one of my favorite boots. Wait till the Nordstrom Sale starts...there will be a pair of these boots included...Tomorrow's video will have all of my top picks! xo
I love an effortless, slouchy, feminine/tomboy look. That’s what style is all about. Playing and juxtaposing looks and feels.
Wasn’t ready for the “steal someone’s husband” reference though ... LOL.
