So, I wanted to thank you, Alyssa! In January I found your channel as I was starting a journey to get healthier and more stylish. Always considered myself cute, but at 55, and the head of a business, I needed to pay a bit more attention, which is something I never really did with fashion. I watched your videos as I was on the treadmill -- first 2x a week, then 3, 4, 5, now up to 6 days a week. It really helped the time pass so pleasantly! And every month, I went through my closet, using your tips -- eliminating items, adding a few (mostly thrifted), changing up my game. Now 45 pounds down and with a closet full of clothes I love, with endless combinations I learned from you, it's a whole new world for me and fashion. And you gave me some joy during COVID! Merci beaucoup! Wishing you and yours all the best.
Oh my gosh Lorna, thank you so much for sharing your story, it's nice to hear during these odd times! I'm so glad you find the channel useful and I hope you enjoy your new to you closet! Thank you again for sharing and watching! xx
Wow! That is an achievement. Very well done. I have also done something similar and have found the whole process cathartic. I am retired so have more time for myself and I'm finding its such fun to be creative with my wardrobe. Sx
Well done and congratulations!! That’s no small feat.
At 65 I’ve become very interested in style. Better late than never. I find your videos to be interesting and informative. In this video you have completely changed personalities with the four ways of styling that shirt. I could picture you in specific venues in each look. I’ve never seen a shirt closed on the diagonal. Very pretty.
Thank you so much I'm glad you liked those different looks! xx
Oh my word Michelle, I thought I was the only person in their sixties watching this channel, so lovely to see more of us mature ladies participating .🤗
Yes I'm 60 and love watching her style clothing items. She does give very good ideas. She's also very beautiful!
I just turned 60 and I'm also a fan. I'm not ready to dress like a granny, but I don't want to dress like my 19 year old nieces so I look for styling choices that "meet in the middle." I have five thrifted white button downs that are my wardrobe 'go-'tos.' Great styling ideas, Alyssa.
@@moidutoiphotography8427 me too!
I watched the video with you and your Mom. I loved it and would like to see more like that. I am 62 and love seeing the mix of styling for young and mature with the same garment. Love all your videos.
Would love to see more in this series! Possible ideas: black turtleneck, plain colored long sleeved tee, black trousers, cardigans (long and short), silk camisole, knee high heeled boots.
LOVE this and the fact that you shared about body types and showed how to tie, tuck and cuff! Keep doing these.
Great thank you so much glad you liked it! xx
Yes, that is great about this one
Love that you started with a white button down shirt - so awesome!!
awesome :) Glad you liked it thank you for watching Pam!xx
I purchased a white button down Power of My People shirt based on your recommendation a year ago. It is the best quality shirt I own. Love it!
oohh arent they the best!?
Your enthusiasm is infectious and never fails to keep me focused on slow fashion. I am retired now so don't have a lot of money to spend on clothes anyway, so shopping my closet for my daily casual outfits is such an inspiration. On the odd occasion I do need to buy something I need I can afford to buy better quality. Win win. So happy Alyssa and thank you as always. xx
One of your best videos ever
Ahmaazing!! Just feeling in love with each and every styling of yours. Would love to see styling a black midi skirt please.
I just bought this shirt 2 weeks ago after watching your video. OMG... I LOVE IT! It's beautiful and now my favorite button-down. Very high quality and opaque but not hot at all! Thank you for the recommendation.
Great series! I love all the tips. Would love to see jeans, basic T-shirt and blazers for the next one. Have a great weekend!
Thank you for the suggestion and for watching! xx

Hi
Yes to a series. Demin jacket next please + thank you.
Great suggestion thank you! xx
Yes, it's good idea. I especially like the parts where you suggest tips for different shaped women. I am top heavey and petite with a short neck. So will be trying a couple of new things with my button down now. Thanks!
Would love to see this as a series. You bring such a fresh and fun approach to everything you do. 😊😊😊
Love your videos. I find that all younger fashion influencers call this shirt a button down. I’m from a different generation, but to me this is a button up shirt and a button down shirt actually has buttons that hold your collar down.
Oh! Good to know. Button up sounds more logical actually. As in, ‘button up your shirt’.
You are right. A button-down shirt has buttons on the collar.
Thank you for this; I too know a button down shirt as one that has buttons to hold the collar down. I was looking for the buttons on the one in the video but couldn't see them.
I love wearing a white button down ... great ideas ..... more please
So glad you liked it thank you for watching Jacqueline! xx
Yes to the white button down! It's the perfect "go to" for that polished look. I'm going to try that wrapped shirt technique! Happy Sunday!
Have fun with it ! Thank you for watching and happy Sunday! xx
I have a good closet section of shirts and majority are white. So crisp and clean. Obviously my favorite piece of clothing. Your ideas for versatility are great to break up my standard wear. Thanks!!!!
So glad you liked these ideas for your shirts! Thank you for watching! xx
I have several but never wear them. How silly is that? The white feels flashy but it’s not. I need to retrain my brain.
I love how your style is classy and feminine. It aligns with my own style which is why I enjoy watching your videos.
As someone with heavy chest my biggest concern is, the buttons always always gape no matter what size I get. I always get concealed buttons but they still gape.
Do you have any suggestions regarding this?
My sister has this problem (and myself to lesser extent). Buy oversized and tailor lower part(buy men's shirt even - it may not even be your boobs that's the problem - maybe not enuf room in the back or shoulders too). If really conscious use double sided tape (I also used to sew the front seem shut but now don't give a damn, whereas I never see my sister in a button down anymore)
@@susie9893 thank you! I can relate to your sister, everyone everywhere keeps recommending button down as this staple piece. I have tried buying two sizes larger, and when that too gaped it was really disheartening. Sigh.
@@shreyamathur8383 I hear ya but sometimes the cut doesn't allow much arm movement (and thereby causing gaping) no matter the size.
That's my only suggestion - to look at what happens when you try the chicken shrug (lift elbows out) - if that causes gaping then it's not allowing enough arm/shoulder movement. (Even guys with good pecs can have this problem!)
Have you considered shopping for button downs thru companies that specialise in active wear? (some professionals, like physios, need to be able to move and also travel professionals)
@@susie9893 I will definitely follow up on your suggestions, thanks a ton!
@@shreyamathur8383 hey I'm no expert, just my experience. Hope it proves helpful
A series? Yes please! A blazer is a piece that I would love to see styled in different ways.
Loved all of the looks. Would love to see you work with a denim jacket in a future video.
Great suggestion thank you! xx
So glad you made this size-inclusive. More like this please.
Finaly i found someone near my style, you are a woman with a peacfull gentle style and i thank you because you made me better in a few days! Love from greece!
Thank you for the kind wods and for watching! xx
Absolut fantastic!!!!!! More of them !!! 🤩👌
Thank you for watching Kristin!
very much!! Loved it. Jumpers, midi skirts, T shirts, jeans, boots, cardigans, white linen dress, LBD, trench coat, A line skirt. That should be enough to start. I love everything you do, Alyssa. You just can do no wrong in my eyes!!
You are too kind Heather thank you for watching! xx
Besides being a great video with that powerful white shirt which u look so sharp in, I really appreciate the fact that u read our comments and paid attention to them. I noticed u paused a bit longer for each outlook for us to see and digest (after all, it’s a slow lazy Sunday), also in look 2, u turned and let us see how u tucked your shirt in the back, so we can try the same. That was very kind and thoughtful of u.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you liked the pauses .. tried something different! xx
Loved this. Great idea for a series. I'd love to see an episode on styling a pair of black trousers. Question: I always feel I create too much bulk when I tie my button down. Is there a secret to getting a perfect tie?
hmm great question - it could be the shirt and the material and how long it is ... i find when the hem is really long there is too much volume to work with. There is also a way to put the hems of each side through the button holes which makes it sleeker - check out Jessica Wang on IG and tiktok she has the BEST shirt and styling hacks which has little tricks! inlcuding that one!
I use a small transparent hair elastic. I try to hide it behind the last button. You know the small elastics for small braids and such.
That large, shiny, gold chain necklace looks like one I used to wear in the '90s. It was by Anne Klein and I loved it. Donated it to Goodwill. Everything comes back in style but you need a lot of storage space!
OMG your kitty is so adorable
I learned so much from your videos keep making them you're awesome
Thank you for the kind comment! xx
I received the paper clip necklace co designed with analuisa.com. The necklace arrived in time for a small gathering of my family to celebrate my son’s birthday. Everyone at the gathering 🥰 loved the necklace. I am very happy with the purchase, it’s an affordable timeless piece of jewelry. The ordering process was easy and the necklace arrived quickly. Great 👍🏽 job on the necklace.
This is great! Did I miss how you do the wrap style? You mentioned something about a safety pin?
Love this , thank you! Have always loved the white oxford shirt- was part of my school uniform and I am still attached but always feel I style it the same way all the time, under a sweater or cuff it and it always just falls short of fab, this is so helpful! THe preppy with the loafers is my favourite but this is helpful to step outside my comfort zone........
So glad you liked it and found those tips helpful! Love that you still love it after your school years! Thank you for watching!
I think that's why it's taken me so long to warm up to the Oxford shirt - cos it WAS part of my school uniform. But I'm slowly coming around (it's only taken almost 30yrs)
I have a somewhat split personality style…both preppy/classic and fairly boho. My closet and dresser drawers are a sight. I have almost 3 dozen white shirts, short sleeve tees and long sleeve tees…..then a lot of graphic/band tees. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I haven't worn a button down shirt for years now as an old job used to require us to wear one daily. It had become boring. Now, I am going to try out each suggestion to see if I want to bring it back into the wardrobe
Me too!
Wonderful video! Very helpful.
Glad you liked it Suzanne thank you for watching! xx
Love this series, and would love to see a slip dress styled!
I love your casual presentation style. The preppy styling of the white shirt was my favorite. I love a crisp white button down.
Love getting into the details......this was great❣ Using classic timeless pieces is such a good investment but we each wear it best in different ways and you showed it. I would love for you to do boots and how they work on the leg and how they work or not with different pieces of clothing. I also would like to see how belts effect body shape.
I'm so glad you liked it - great suggestions! Thank you for watching! xx
Daria made a video about shoes and how they go with bottoms a while ago that you might find interesting.
But Alyssa's take on it would be interesting too.
I agree on the belts idea
Lols good on ya for the sponsorship, you've been raving about those shirts for months! :)
And post script! This was awesomely insightful. This should be a series Alyssa!
THANK YOU! It means a lot :) I thought it was a great fit!
Love, love, love your longer hair. It's so flattering and healthy. Tres chic!
Thank you so much for the kind comment! xx
Love a white button down shirt. A classic always. Great video Alyssa 💖
Yes, keep going with this series! You mentioned that your shirt is a Medium. Do you mind if I ask what your regular clothing size would be? Through following your channel I have already purchased two POMP short sleeve linen shirts (wayward fit XS), and love them! I had actually been pondering whether to get the black version of the style you are wearing today, but now waffling as to what size after seeing how the M looks on you.. (I am 5'5", size 6)..Thanks:)
Hi Bronia! Ooh I'm so glad you are loving your current pomp purchases! great questions - I normally vary between a small and a medium depending on the fit because my chest is a bit bigger vs. the rest of my frame. I am a 36" around the chest and have a Small POMP shirt that also fits beautifully. I would recommend measuring your bust and then deciding which fit you would like - relaxed (smaller) or oversized (medium) ... they've listed the chest measurement of their models which I found helpful too. I hope this helps! Let me know which you go with!
Yes! I loved this and would love to see more like this.
Great ! Thank you for watching Michelle! xx
To wrap it and tuck it, is a good idea! I will try it out. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤️
Love this video. I bought a white shirt months ago but haven’t worn it yet. I haven’t worn a white shirt in decades. This inspired me to try it out. Thanks. I like these kind of videos. Keep them coming. Plus it’s always nice to see a fellow Canadian. 🇨🇦
Yes regular series love it🧡❤️🧡
Thank you Kathye!
Who would have ever thought, great sense of fashion.
Hi Alyssa, ❤️ your channel. Would love to see a series of these. Perhaps, how to style your gorgeous pleated olive skirt. Got one very similar and I’m stuck for ideas Xx
This would be a great series. You can talk about blazers (the styles which work best for different body types), pencil skirts, shorts, trouser styles, cuts of jeans--even scale of accessories which work best for different body types.
Good Sunday morning Alyssa, great tips....awesome video. Thank you so much ! The shirt is a bit pricey ,but I will work with what I have in my closet :)
Hi Line! Yes! That's a great option too! :)
Great idea! Since cold temperatures are approaching ( for us on the northern hem) I suggest a turtleneck sweater in a neutral colour of your preference. Have a great week Alyssa, greetings from Italy.
Fabulous! I’ve never been able to wear a white shirt but I could definitely try some of these! 🌹🌹🌹👍🏽
Just love your style tips and ethos about fashion. I only buy thrifted items now and don't need to buy new as I find wonderful clothes this way! I do however have white shirt envy as yours is just gorgeous! Please keep giving me great ideas as even as an older lady, I'm good at adapting! 🤗😍😎
Love this new series! I really appreciate the comments on styling for different body types. How about different ways to style the monochromatic look? Not just all-black or all-white/cream or ways to style all-black to give it different looks. Thanks so much for all of your hard work on our behalf. Your videos are GREAT!
Would like to see you style wide leg/ high waist jeans! Love your videos! 💕💕💕
I have watched every TH-cam fashion person online and you are by far the best, You should have over 1 million subscribers
Great tips and I struggle with a white shirt so this is a good one. I also love the diverse images of bodies and people you use to demo what you mean. Thank you.
Just yesterday I was searching through your videos. I was looking for something that broke down the styling of a white shirt!! This video just made my morning!! 😁
ooh i'm so glad the timing worked out! Thanks for watching! xx
That layering the shirt on top was awesome, thank you Alyssa!
Thank you so much for thinking about the plus size as well. You’re brilliant, and I really enjoy your channel. Thanks again 🥰
I just love this! Great timing! I have been in search of a superior white button down. I currently am wearing a dress shirt I stole from my guy that is made in Europe with a great shape! He said its mine now because it looks better on me! Haha 😄
I love the look of a white button down, but I never seem to reach for one of mine. This gave me some great ideas. I especially like the preppy look because it is relaxed and easy to wear. Never thought about adding a statement necklace, such a great tip! I'd love to see more videos like this. Maybe the series could be called "Styling your Basics" and you could do jeans, black blazers, LBD's and t-shirts. Thanks for this Alyssa!
Love! I can’t seem to pull off the front tuck. Somehow letting it hang looks better or fully tucked in. I keep trying though!
just rewatched this today and am reinspired. going on a trip to LA this weekend and discovered a shirt my hubby does not wear but that will go perfectly with my color palate i chose to use for the trip. packing light is essential and the button down shirt will add so many options for me.
Very helpful tips and reminders! You were asking for ideas: how about the versatility of long sleeve knits, sweaters, cardigans, dusters etc. Have a great week, XOXO
This was the most fantastic TH-cam video I've seen on fashion staple pieces. I feel like I can wear almost everything you showed for my body type. Being an athletic body and super tall with strange kind of hips It's really hard to fit my body type but these were inspiring ideas. ❤
I ordered the shirt immediately. Yes, please do this type of video - it was really helpful. I especially appreciated the tip not to roll sleeves up too high if you have a larger bust. Teach us how to hold the wrap in place with double sided fashion tape! Yay!
ooh you will love it. Such a great piece! Thank you for watching and the wrap suggestion! xx
My favorite part of your video is your perfect speech, you're so easy to understand!
Yes for a regular series 🥰❗️
Pencil skirt tips would be great! Thanks for this series. I think it’s very helpful. ❤️
I agree Michelle I'm 65 and it's become a focus for me also. I have a white buttoned down shirt sitting in my closet that I'm going to take out and practice styling with. I love your videos and especially since you are Canadian.
Love POMP. Their shirts are beautiful.
Omg, I forgot the scarf look. It looks so smart!🥰🥰🥰
Loved it!! Have been a white shirt fan all my life! You style it beautifly!
Yes please continue with this series!
Loved your video Alyssa and as always your ideas are very helpful. I particularly liked the edgy and preppy ones.
I would love to see a similar video with classic trousers. xx
So glad you liked it thank you for the suggestion and for watching! xx
What a wonderful video, thank you! I have a hard time figuring out how to wear a white button down, strange as that may seem, so this gives a lot of excellent options! I really like that you mention how to style for different body types, too--that's super helpful to me. I look forward to the rest of this "essentials" series so yes, please, to more of that! I'm sure most folks down below have great ideas. I'm thinking...blazers, riding/knee hi boots, ankle boots, tee shirts....? Thanks!
Love the wrap look and the tied-at-the-bottom look. Also the untucked under the sweater look.
And that is a beautiful white shirt!
Looove the series idea 🙌🏻🙌🏻 and thank you so much for showing the “wrap tuck”... i will definetely try it ☺️ Can you do a “mini tutorial “ on how to do it properly?
I so love the layers of your hair! Stunning!!
Thanks for the tips--great vid! I'd like to see how to style ankle pants, kick flares, etc. especially for cooler weather.
I love the shirt and ensemble
Please continue this as a series. Great video Alyssa!
Thank you Guylaine, will do! xx
Wow! I love this and can’t wait to see more in this series. My single button down shirt is definitely going to get some more use 👍
LOVE this new series idea! Especially because I am 4'10', and I feel like most clothing trends don't work on me. I just ordered a sweater dress that will fall to mid-thigh, or possibly just-above-the-knee on me. Could you do a video on different ways to style sweater dresses? (Okay, you caught me---the one I got is technically not a sweater dress.....it's a sweater that is long enough for someone my height to wear as a dress!)
Finally, just want to say, it seems like so many fashion TH-camrs are really superficial, full of themselves, and have really annoying mannerisms. Thank you, thank you for being so warm-hearted, modest, and genuine.
Love the idea ❤️ a plain black maxi dress
This was the best white shirt styling video. I appreciate that you explained the details of the products, which helped immensely when trying to choose a quality product online without trying it on or seeing it in person!
@AlyssaBeltempo - I also noticed the necklace you are wearing in this video. I see this video was made a few years ago. Are the necklaces still available to purchase?
Love the video, and the new series! I'm interested in seeing different ways to style cardigans, graphic tees, and long-sleeve shirts if you do more!
I’ve only just discovered your channel via Marie-Anne Lecoeur and absolutely love it. You have such an elegant style and I’m looking forward to watching all of your videos and upgrading my look 😊 Grazie mille!
Loved that video!
The idea is great. And it's even better that you added examples with people with different bodytypes than yours to illustrate what you say.
I loved that you said that there is no rule on what we should wear and how.
I loved all the tips on how how to wear the item and how it will affect proportions (so anyone can choose to use it and play with proportions as they want and not "as they should").
I also loved your exemples at the end.
As I mentioned below someone else's comment, an episode on sweater (especially thick ones) would be great. But there are a lot of other good suggestions.
You channel is very inspiring, positive and informative. Thank you.
:)
Love this type of video with actually tips and tricks thanks please do more! I love the white shirt
Love this! If you do this as a series, I can tell you that black skirts are my closet essential, no matter what they're paired with. :)
Great video, Alyssa! I love how you showed different sized bodies in the photos. I use all of the methods you described and I sometimes put a sleeveless knitted top or a dark printed t shirt over a white shirt to layer up when I’m wearing a fitted coat or jacket and want to stay warm and in the summer a vest underneath. A white button down is so versatile. It’s a must in any wardrobe.
You're absolutely gorgeous, and I love your sense of fashion. You look particularly sharp whenever you pop your collar; combine that with loosening a button and your hands comfortably tucked in your pockets, it's the perfect blend of class and sexiness! 😍
I would like to see black pants and scarves , jewelry layering
Loved this, would love to see a crew neck sweater, bulky sweater, scarves how to style videos 🤗
great suggestion thank you! xx
I second this!
As a curvy/busty short gal I have struggled for years with sweaters.
Only now, thanks to you tubers like you, do I start to understand how I can look and feel good in them.
And with Automn and winter approaching for many if us it would be the perfect timing for it.
Good morning Alyssa! I love that kind of shirts I have more than one in my closet and love them. Thank you for the looks, I love them all. Your coffee cup is lovely! See you next Sunday
I LOVE how you gave style tips for pear body types ! It helps so much and it’s very inclusive to everyone. I have such a hard time when I look for inspiration then realized it does not look good on me .... frustration strikes back
Again thank you so much 😊
I'm so glad you found it helpful Mariana! Thank you for watching xx
