Hi friends, just to clarify: all of this inspo-gathering and shopping happened back in May and June, way before No-Buy July! It just took a while to fit this video into our filming schedule. No-Buy July is still going strong and I'll be posting another check-in soon. Sorry for the confusion! I thought I mentioned in the video that this all happened a month or two ago, but that sentence might have gotten cut when I was tightening up the video (it was originally like 45 min long...le sigh). Thank you for watching!
The sweater with the skirt! YES! It inspires me to do that with my dresses. I primarily wear dresses and leggings because of my fibro. Pain my legs means pants really bother me.
As others have stated, I appreciate the fabric content and care info. I didn’t see an outfit here that wasn’t a smash success. Super fun. Love the space too.
Dare I say it, the outfit looks much better on you than in the original fashion editorial. What a great pair of pants and I appreciate that you took time to style them different ways. I love your tonal dressing, especially with such an assertive colour. A note about dry-cleaning: I am a professional tailor, and you can hand-wash and home clean ANYTHING. I work with some of the most expensive fabrics and garments, and I suggest that you avoid dry-cleaning like the plague. Dry cleaning uses harsh and unpleasant chemicals that are no good for your clothes or skin. Manufacturers put 'dry clean only' labels on garments mostly to cover themselves against product liability claims, often because they have cut corners in the manufacture, not because they have to be dry-cleaned. As tailors working with $5,000 plus garments, we have people who hand-wash client's garments using baby shampoo. Baby shampoo is great for natural hair fibres. It is worth learning now to properly press (iron) garments, since that will preserve your surface finishes and make them look sharp and new. For outerwear such as jackets and coats, you need to wash far less frequently than you might think - only once a year. To make the biggest difference to your clothes, get a soft clothes brush and gently brush your pants, jackets, coats as soon as you get home and take them off. Brushing will remove all of the light surface dirt and pollution that typically happens in cities, and will reduce the amount of actual washing. The garments then simply need hanging up and airing to make them fresh. Sorry for the long comment. Taking control of the clothes washing will give a lot more freedom when deciding what to buy. Great outfit, great vid. Thank you.
Thank you! This is brilliant information. I've always hand-washed dry clean only goods...except for a white corduroy blazer i bought last year...I haven't dry cleaned in many many years. So great to hear it from a professional and I will definitely invest in some baby shampoo!
Thank you for your comment. Good ironing is a key, so I almost never wash tailored clothers made from natural fibers - airing and some textile spray (previously tested on an invisible part). Brushing makes magic, and a good suit brush is a great investment.
I would love one of these every season where you purchase an outfit of “fantasy” and see how it works. You looked amazing in those pants!!! Would love to see them with the babaa pink sweater vest
Dear Hannah, this video is so refreshing! I wish that more content creators would post these types of in-depth love letters to pieces like this instead of fast fashion "hauls" that encourage death spiral capitalism. This type of content is inspiring!
Oh my goodness that monochromatic outfit with the red sweater with the trousers 😍 stunning!! Also, as a knitter, I absolutely adore the way you talk about knitwear. It's wonderful to hear you talk so knowledgeably about fibre and caring for knitted garments! And hearing the love and excitement you have about knitwear makes me so happy! I'm not a "professional" knitter by any means but if you ever feel like commissioning a custom-made hand-knit sweater/any piece of knitwear, let me know.
Oh my goodness, ditto! Knitting for someone who would appreciate the finished fabric AND take care of the knitwear is the holy grail for a knitter. Plus HLP isn't afraid of color or avant-garde fashion making it an even more attractive thought.
Hannah I loved this video! I also really appreciate you talking fabric and garment care. I think a video on fabric, garment care, and other things you consider when purchasing clothing would be very helpful. I'm trying to little by little convert my wardrobe to fit my new career and stage of life, and would love to listen to you talk on this! I know I would apply those tips personally as I shop for what I hope to be investment pieces and I bet others would too. Thanks for the fun video!
I'm doing the same thing. I've recently realized that a lot of my clothes looked "teenagerish" and I'll be 30 next year. I've been updating slowly trying to be cognizant of fabric content but I've had to do a lot of research on care. Honestly before I started this a little over a year ago I knew almost nothing about the quantities of fabric and how best to care for it.
Surprisingly I did too! Lately I've been more into wearing solids but more videos like this may convert me back to patterns. Hannah has such style that I think she could make any outfit look fabulous!!!❤
As someone who is 4'10" this look is basically the same as when I try almost anything from most stores (especially ones that are made typically for 'taller' people like H&M) lol! I think it definitely looks much better on someone tall than someone short! I end up feeling like I'm swimming in cloth! Glad you found something you absolutely love! It looks great on you! Basically 90% of V necks are like this and are way too low for my short shoulders and not work-appropriate XD!
Nobody except those of us 5'2" and under can understand the hardship of always looking like we're playing dress up in our parents clothing and constantly needing to tailor everything.
@@saramm3765 100%! It even extends to Bras (shoulder straps don't shorten enough) and bodysuits (too long so fabric bunches down below) and more! I've certainly bought children's sizes before! But it can still be tough because I have a woman's shape and breasts. Buying stuff online is usually a no-go unless I have a good return policy. I will be sure that 95% of the time it will not fit or flatter properly! I get you, girl! ❤️
@@saramm3765 definitely!!! Im trying to learn how to sew because trying to find clothes that fit is just too hard. Im in thr 5’1 gang but my torso is long and my legs are short so its hard with pants. But not just in length but because i got 0 hips flat as a board so 1 finding belts that fit are impossible but so are finding pants to. Gotta look in the juniors section which is not very fun and a lot of times the styles i like are not available.
these clothes are not at all my style but your enthusiasm is infectious and I just love to hear your thought process on clothing. I also think it’s good for me to be exposed to styles outside my own because every now and then I bring a new gem back to my comfort zone and have that one little piece of someone else’s style that I adore and work into my existing little fashion world. I adore the color of your pants in this video and the different silhouettes are so interesting in a sense of artistry and illusion. I’m not bold enough to wear that deep of a V neck but honestly it looks stunning on you and that’s making me wonder if I should reconsider… it’s also just nice sometimes to see someone being happy like you are with your thoughtful purchases here
I loved the concept of acquiring one or two stunning pieces and styling several outfits with additional items and accessories from your closet; plus I love your poetic commentary.🌞thank you for your salient and thoughtful video.
I would LOVE more of this kind of content. I like hearing your thought process in making a decision on items, particularly because I’m not familiar with fabrics/fabric care. I also like seeing how you style the pieces differently. Nice work!
You look fabulous in those clothes, Hannah, and I’m so glad they make you happy. One note about buying second-hand designer garments: I too love the idea, but for those of us not blessed with your long, lean frame, doing so can be difficult if not impossible. Most designers still don’t make clothes in plus sizes, and if they do, I doubt many would end up in the second-hand market or last long there if they did.
Those trousers are a smash hit! Every outfit you put together using them was just so strikingly beautiful. Also, the jumper with the skirt you made is such a lovely combination! It's giving family (blood/chosen) Sunday lunch, slightly dressed up, but still cosy and comfortable
I absolutely adore those pants! But also, the sweater and skirt combo was my favorite pairing. I really love the clay pants as well but that skirt scratched am unseen itch in my brain.
I use Dryell on dry clean only clothes as long as they don’t have any stains and more just need to be refreshed. I’ve never had wool, alpaca, or cashmere shrink with it.
Came here to suggest dryel too! I rewear my dry clean only pieces a few times before batching them in the dryel bag. Works perfect, and I have yet to ruin anything.
First, I really enjoy the fashion content and hope it can sustainably continue. Second, I’d love to see a video detailing your process when searching for a second hand item to buy. I struggle to buy second hand online because the whole process seems so daunting. From finding an item (where to shop?) to interpreting listings to determining what that item might look like on me when there is no image of a model wearing it, etc
I would be the most dedicated viewer of a HLP fashion channel where you research, design, and produce your most desired designer fashion items. Just putting that out into the universe
Love this video Hannah! Taking the time to style new pieces at home with what you already have is such a good idea. Sometimes I feel silly playing in my wardrobe, but as a grownup I often feel like life gets too serious. I want more silliness and I like the reminder that I can tap into that feeling at home playing with the clothes in my closet!
I love your orientation to fashion! I would also love to continue hearing you discuss fabric content. I have been paying attention, but I still have a lot to learn in that regard. Thank you as always!
I love the way you balance talking about your own personal style/likes/preferences, and what might be helpful to someone with a completely different aesthetic. I've also noted that you include helpful information about different price points/budgets in your videos too. I don't always think your looks will suit me personally, but everything you wear looks absolutely stunning and perfect on you. There is an inherent authenticity and inclusiveness which is not forced, that I enjoy in your videos. I've found a little inspiration for my own self expression. Thank you!
I loved the pants with the bright red sweater. There’s something about mismatching shades of red on a redhead that just gets me. The pants seem like a great reward for their risk! And it’s great to hear your thought process!
In love with the pants! I actually like them best with the red cardigan at the end. I also imagine them well with a blazer. And I love the pink cardigan with your blue jeans! It gives such a nice vintage vibe, like I care but I don’t kinda aesthetic.
of course my favorite piece from the entire video is one YOU MADE!!! I immediately scrolled down to check the description when the skirt came on and WOW. You are so talented! I really enjoyed all of the outfits you put together and I must say my jaw dropped when you first appeared in the rust colored body suit with the pants! I could feel how happy you were right through the screen
I loved this video on SO (and literally sew) many levels. I love awide legged pant and these pants both ways are extremely attractive to me. My body is markedly different than yours in size and shape, but I am already plotting a replication of them on some level. Some of the appeal is the juicy stunning color, but I also feel like the silhouette would be extremely successful in A fabric with a bold print as well. Thank you for speaking on the importance of how natural fibers can be elevated by being blended with other textiles, especially something like polyamide can add resilience to wool that's worthwhile, both for wearability and care. It's about the longevity of use and wear in your wardrobe. I truly love to hear you speak on this subject.
hi! i have a pair of Tibi trousers in the same fabric and I wash them by hand in cold water, lay them flat to dry and then iron them (on low heat) as needed. haven't had issues
As much as I love your beauty content, I'm living for the fashion and home videos as of late. I can only speak for myself, but I feel like the pandemic really eroded a lot of my love for make-up, so it's great to see videos centred around things that aren't in that space. Thanks for sharing! (And the pants are divine. What a great purchase!)
Came to say an oversized deep v-neck sweater and jogger pants are literally what I'm wearing now and I love this color combo! It's a more elegant take on a beautifully grungy style.
Hi Hannah!! Thanks so much for this video! I am obsessed with your aesthetic and eye for fashion, colour, and details. I could listen to you describe beautiful garments all day long lol ❤️. Love you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love watching your mind work. We have very different ideas of what is fashionable but clothes are as much art as they are to keep us warm and or covered. Feeling good in our clothes is certainly a luxury and one that I love to enjoy.
This is an amazing video concept! I love that you were able to find these pieces second hand and share so much about them. It would also be fun to see you take an inspo image and create an outfit from your closet or shopping second hand to re-create it 😍
I really love your fashion content. I too care a lot about fabric composition and trying to get out of drycleaning. I like that you buy designer second hand and not too much. Keep making this content!!!!
you make the absolute most insightful, transparent, down-to-earth, and practical fashion content I have ever seen on the internet. Thank you so much! as someone who has loved clothes all their life but has recently been in a huge funk with getting dressed, your content has been a breath of fresh air and I can't get enough!
Absolutely love this video and the garments/outfits. Agree with a couple of other comments about wanting to hear your thoughts more on fabric and what to look for when buying an item of clothing
I love your fashion content and hope to see more in the future. It’s really helpful to know your in-depth reasons and process for purchasing garments and what you learn with each purchase. It’s helping me to better analyse my own wardrobe and purchasing decisions.
The Babaa sweater with the pants…..stoooop it! That is a look.❤️ The sweater with the sweats…yes please. Total win with the outfit. Thanks for sharing!
This video is everything!!!😍😍 I am almost exactly the same auburn redhead as you and I never thought this shade of pink could ever work but you have shown me it totally can, you look incredible and I love the way you think. Girl, I’m obsessed 🥰🥰🥰 more fashion, you are an icon xxx
I think this is very much proof of ways that fewer nicer things can lead to being more satisfied with what you do buy and own. The description of how to find the same/similar high quality clothing on the 2nd hand market is very helpful for myself as someone who has very little experience buying online secondhand. Seeing you try on different combinations in a wardrobe playtime was fun to see, I think the jumper skirt combo was quite glamorous. Hannah if you're worried about ruining the pants by washing them you could always do a patch test on the belt by dampening a small patch of the belt with water and seeing how it dries. If that works out you could also gently wash part of belt and watching how it effects the fabric quality and seams. I look forward to the pants and the jumper's future career in your wardrobe with great interest.
Any time you want to make another video talking about an outfit for half an hour, please feel free 😄 I think my favorite pairing was those gorgeous coral trousers with the Free People tiger tank top! There was something a little subversive, a little cheeky and insouciant about wearing such a casual, fitted top with the drapey, long lines of the designer pants. Thank you so much for sharing your process!
I love how you talk about clothing! Also I would love an updated video about your sweaters, I sense that you've added some real gems to your collection in recent months 💚
Yes, please teach us more about fabrics and how to get second hand garments. I am size 16 so for me it is a struggle to find designer pieces. But, I would totally love your insight here. I learned about wool today :)
Hannah! The segments where you talked about the garments you liked and why and how you would care for them was the biggest take away from this video. Thank you so much 😊
THANK U FOR TALKING ABOUT THE FIBER CONTENT BECAUSE IT IS A NON-NEGOTIABLE PART OF CLOTHES FOR ME X) undirected braindump: I happen to love alpaca, and I can attest that it ages very beautifully compared to my wool knits. It's also way easier to wash than wool; it's a lot harder to felt it. I really like that 100% alpaca relaxes and drapes as you wear it, much like cotton knits do. It makes sense that they'd blend it with polyamide for a designer sweater to help it that retain it's shape. I have a wildly rainbow alpaca hoodie that I got as a hand-me-down. Alpaca can be so warm that I layer it over a long sleeved tee as a lighter winter coat. I run warm, but it way out-performs my old northface fleece. Another fun fact: polyamide is nylon, and it's great as a blend with wool or silk because it can be dyed with the same dies. Polyester and acrylic blends require two different types of dyes to color all the fibers evenly.
Loving your fashion videos! I have been watching your makeup videos for awhile even though I don't wear makeup anymore, ha! Your approach to beauty and thoughtful consumption is refreshing. I appreciate hearing your thought processes around styling and shopping and as a tall/long waisted person it's helpful to see how garments fit you
Thank you for this video! I love it. It's actually a great idea to try a new piece of clothing with your other clothes to make sure if it's suits you and your wardrobe. I will start doing this from now on ❤️ (of course the whole informative content isn't less valuable, especially when you're talking about fabrics!)
That red on red but not the exact same colour. I loved it. I literally gasped at the gorgeousness of it! My heart leapt. I normally would think it’s too close and will clash. But it’s perfect!
I agree, this was a great video idea especially with the focus on reflecting on the possible expectation-vs.-reality slope. However, I wished it would have been posted with some distance to NoBuyJuly. I had hoped that your no-buy would translate to a period of content that was palpably less influenced by the influx of new products, because to me as a consumer of beauty YT it can be challenging at times to be confronted with that percieved abundance in other people's lives, even when they talk so differentiatedly about it like you do. Probably a month is not long enough to let the "queue" of new products in waiting trickle down to nothing so that acutal no-buy-content is the only thing that can be realised? I would appreciate if you considered this effect when you decide to talk about your NoBuyJuly experience and I hope that for you it all went like intended! ❤
Maybe if it had been a planned no-buy but it was spontaneous, she had videos already lined up and described this issue when announcing it. Good luck with your no buy! Perhaps take her inspiration by diving into your own clothes and fall back in love with what you have, or break down why it wouldn't work for you like she does with her anti-sephora halls! I want want want that red pants with champaign top but I stepped back and remembered my boobs need a bra and my torso is too short to create that silhouette so I shall just admire like a work of art haha.
These pieces look better on you than on the ad model! Congratulations. I agree that the sweater will probably be fine with a cool soak in a gentle detergent (shoutout to Eucalan and Soak brands' wash liquid). As a stretch-prone fiber, alpaca (blend) wants to be patted it into the correct shape on a mesh rack or thick towel and air dried. Easy. To minimize any risk of shrinkage, I'd use the coolest water and very little agitating, since you mentioned wishing the sweater were larger than it is. As a sewing enthusiast and fellow home-washer I strongly recommend against hand washing the pants. Not just because they're not 100% wool (which depending on specifics can sometimes be washed without warping or felting the fabric.) This scarlet dye might bleed in water. Worse: well tailored trousers contain many unseen components that won't behave alike, and if even one of the interfacing fabrics, the lining, waist tape, or topstitching, shrinks even a tiny bit in the water bath, the entire garment will be ruined. A garment that took dozens of man-hours to weave, cut and sew - isn't it safer to just dry clean it occasionally and spot clean it the rest of the time? A gentle hand steamer also freshens (spot-free) fabric nicely. If worn in winter you could prolong time between dry cleanings by wearing silk leggings underneath. Spoken as someone who'd do a lot to protect a pair of beautifully made, well fitting pants.
yay the origin story of these pants!!! i saw them on your instagram recently and just thought they were the greatest! glad i stumbled on this today, it sparked some serious joy :)
The slouchy looks suit you best :) The red jumper with the red pants are stunning! Also the slouching pink jumper tucked into jeans. Perfect. The other looks I'm actually not too convinced about but that's personal style.
First of all this video was amazing!! Also, my husband and I were at the Ann Arbor art festival last weekend and he said to me ‘you think Hannah went to this?’ he knows you are the friend in my head lol and I said I’m sure she loved it when she was living here
I absolutely LOVE this video. I'm a knitter too, and I appreciate the intentionality of your fiber knowledge! I don't want to encourage this during your no-buy, but please consider making this a seasonal series - maybe one outfit per season, or even twice a year (spring/summer vs fall/winter) to make it more affordable?
Hey Hannah! These pants immediately reminded me of my two favorite pairs of pants from a brand called Roucha. The style name is the Praw Pant. They have the double set of belt loops as well, allowing for a lower rise with a drop crotch or a higher rise with the paper bag effect. Looks like they make them in 100% cotton now too! I only own the poly blend fabrication. This outfit is so killer! Especially the brown bodysuit and red pants.
So... what about a "doubling the vibes"? Basically, just what you did: find the "inspiration image", get either the piece(s) or as close to it as you can while keeping the design details, and then doubling the vibes by integrating those pieces into you current wardrobe, changing the silhouette, playing with color theory, playing with formality over a touch of grunge. Same concept as getting a gorgeous single eyeshadow and exploring all of the looks and moods it can have, the facets of it's personality, outside of the static "inspiration image".
Your fashion videos showed up in my recommended videos and I am so glad they did. Really like your style and view on things. Hope you continue down the fashion lane 😊 That outfit and colour combo is to die for. Great find! Also if you want to cheat hemming the pants, there are iron on hem tapes. They often come with drapes but are also available for hemming pants. And I personally never bring any of my clothes to a dry cleaner. I use the hand wash or wool setting on my washing machine and make sure to wash delicate things separately if I am really anxious about the first time washing an item. I have a lot of wool and hand wash / dry clean only clothes. And so far everything is washable in my machine (front loader). Even my wool coats and blazers 🙃
It is fun, since I found these videos so inspiring even if my silhouette / style preferences feels so different 😄 I started thinking what I would love to see in my wardrobe, how to find my style and make cleaver purchases, so thank you for inspirations on how to do it ❤
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a long time! You have such a beautiful way of speaking and explaining things. I wasn’t surprised when I learned that you were an English major in college when I watched your interview on TFD! It’s so lovely listening to someone who is passionate and cares so much about a topic. Thank you for making these videos ❤️
Is there a better garment than a good sweater? I don’t wear straight sizes, so it’s a little more difficult for me to implement your secondhand strategy, but I was really inspired by how you took the new garments and immediately incorporated them so well into your existing wardrobe. This wasn’t the point of the video, but I noticed how the color palette of your wardrobe is carefully curated. The new pieces seamlessly fit into that color scheme. A good reminder that fashion is seasonal and ever-changing, but personal style is timeless.
i absolutely loved this video and have never seen one quite like it. The theme of minimalism drew me in and i watched that one awhile back but this one was just so much fun!!! I love to play in my closet and rarely actually take the time to do it. I also love the skills you are sharing about fashion and sustainability; you are having such fun so thoughtfully. A rare combination. Please do more....this brought my spirits way up....was like trying on clothes with a girlfriend. Thanks.
I love the video concept of creating outfits from what you already own inspired by pins you love, I could watch that all day (if you wanted to do more of that).
I just finished the Pinterest video, and was looking to see if you updated on if you bought the pink V neck sweater! What wonderful(and slightly strange) timing. I'm really loving all this fashion content you're giving us!!
I was at Goodwill today and saw a sweater for $3 just like this! I passed on it.. got home and saw this video and went back to goodwill to buy it! What a funny synchronicity! Happily influenced today!❤
this video was a delight to watch! such great style and styling inspiration and as always, I loved hearing your thoughts behind your purchase and styling decisions
i adore that the pink sweater and tomato red pants ALREADY hanging on your rail echo your new purchase. this shows that you have loved this combo for a while LOL
I think you might be my favorite fashion you tuber. So loved your minimalist wardrobe video, so now I’m looking back through your fashion content. Being included in your thought processes and analysis is so satisfying and enlightening. I especially love the pants worn higher with the silk cami and also with the bright cropped sweater. Beautiful classic silhouettes!
The last pink sweater look was my absolute favorite! I'm going to take a page out of your book but do it in the inverse. I have a heavy cotton black sweater that I LOVE and loads of upcycled silk wrap skirts in all sorts of shades of pink with all sorts of patterns. I left it at my partner's last night so I won't be able to get it back until Friday, but I'm so eager to pair those garments up this weekend!
Absolutely love that you are doing more fashion content! Your videos are so thoughtful and enlightening, a standout among the many Shein hauls or capsule collections with one white and black pieces.
The pants look great on your frame no matter how they’re styled. What surprised me was the versatility of the sweater, and I absolutely loved it with the sweat pants (& I’m usually not a fan of sweats). Congrats on your wardrobe addition!

Hi friends, just to clarify: all of this inspo-gathering and shopping happened back in May and June, way before No-Buy July! It just took a while to fit this video into our filming schedule. No-Buy July is still going strong and I'll be posting another check-in soon. Sorry for the confusion!

The sweater with the skirt! YES! It inspires me to do that with my dresses. I primarily wear dresses and leggings because of my fibro. Pain my legs means pants really bother me.
Thanks for clarifying! I was like "wait what?!" When I saw the title
As others have stated, I appreciate the fabric content and care info. I didn’t see an outfit here that wasn’t a smash success. Super fun. Love the space too.

That was such good information, didn't know about the baby shampoo 'secret'. Thanks!

Thank you! 😊
Thank you for your comment. Good ironing is a key, so I almost never wash tailored clothers made from natural fibers - airing and some textile spray (previously tested on an invisible part). Brushing makes magic, and a good suit brush is a great investment.
THANKS for the great tips!!
I would love one of these every season where you purchase an outfit of “fantasy” and see how it works. You looked amazing in those pants!!! Would love to see them with the babaa pink sweater vest
Dear Hannah, this video is so refreshing! I wish that more content creators would post these types of in-depth love letters to pieces like this instead of fast fashion "hauls" that encourage death spiral capitalism. This type of content is inspiring!
this!!!
THE PANTS?! With that satiny, champagne top?! I would like to give you a 25% tip because that was a colossal serve, Hannah.
It was so elegant and sultry 😍
YES!
1000%
It was as close as it gets to a perfect outfit, on the perfect person…hair and skin color, body type, swagger. Chefs kiss
This was my favorite outfit remix too! 😍
Oh my goodness that monochromatic outfit with the red sweater with the trousers 😍 stunning!! Also, as a knitter, I absolutely adore the way you talk about knitwear.

I'm doing the same thing. I've recently realized that a lot of my clothes looked "teenagerish" and I'll be 30 next year. I've been updating slowly trying to be cognizant of fabric content but I've had to do a lot of research on care. Honestly before I started this a little over a year ago I knew almost nothing about the quantities of fabric and how best to care for it.
seconding this!!! as a recent graduate i’m like oh. i can’t wear cotton t-shirts everywhere this is literally horrible
This would be very helpful!
Yea please!
I would love that 😍
I actually loved how the pink sweater looked with the flowy skirt!
Surprisingly I did too! Lately I've been more into wearing solids but more videos like this may convert me back to patterns. Hannah has such style that I think she could make any outfit look fabulous!!!❤
As someone who is 4'10" this look is basically the same as when I try almost anything from most stores (especially ones that are made typically for 'taller' people like H&M) lol! I think it definitely looks much better on someone tall than someone short! I end up feeling like I'm swimming in cloth! Glad you found something you absolutely love! It looks great on you!
Basically 90% of V necks are like this and are way too low for my short shoulders and not work-appropriate XD!
Nobody except those of us 5'2" and under can understand the hardship of always looking like we're playing dress up in our parents clothing and constantly needing to tailor everything.
@@saramm3765 100%! It even extends to Bras (shoulder straps don't shorten enough) and bodysuits (too long so fabric bunches down below) and more!
I've certainly bought children's sizes before! But it can still be tough because I have a woman's shape and breasts.
Buying stuff online is usually a no-go unless I have a good return policy. I will be sure that 95% of the time it will not fit or flatter properly!
I get you, girl! ❤️
@@saramm3765 definitely!!! Im trying to learn how to sew because trying to find clothes that fit is just too hard. Im in thr 5’1 gang but my torso is long and my legs are short so its hard with pants. But not just in length but because i got 0 hips flat as a board so 1 finding belts that fit are impossible but so are finding pants to. Gotta look in the juniors section which is not very fun and a lot of times the styles i like are not available.
Bahahaha! Saaaaame. I'm 4'11 and I wear "capris" as full on pants and either hem or roll up everything. Shorty Club member, present✋🏽
I’m 5’9”--I can’t buy clothes in a store either. I think if you’re 5’5” you got it made!
these clothes are not at all my style but your enthusiasm is infectious and I just love to hear your thought process on clothing. I also think it’s good for me to be exposed to styles outside my own because every now and then I bring a new gem back to my comfort zone and have that one little piece of someone else’s style that I adore and work into my existing little fashion world. I adore the color of your pants in this video and the different silhouettes are so interesting in a sense of artistry and illusion. I’m not bold enough to wear that deep of a V neck but honestly it looks stunning on you and that’s making me wonder if I should reconsider… it’s also just nice sometimes to see someone being happy like you are with your thoughtful purchases here
I loved the concept of acquiring one or two stunning pieces and styling several outfits with additional items and accessories from your closet; plus I love your poetic commentary.🌞thank you for your salient and thoughtful video.
I would LOVE more of this kind of content. I like hearing your thought process in making a decision on items, particularly because I’m not familiar with fabrics/fabric care. I also like seeing how you style the pieces differently. Nice work!
You look fabulous in those clothes, Hannah, and I’m so glad they make you happy.
One note about buying second-hand designer garments: I too love the idea, but for those of us not blessed with your long, lean frame, doing so can be difficult if not impossible. Most designers still don’t make clothes in plus sizes, and if they do, I doubt many would end up in the second-hand market or last long there if they did.
Hannah, I'm loving the fashion content in the new space. I would love to see a one item different ways video. I'd love to see old favorites restyled.
I think that, after the sign-off reminder, "risk it like a biscuit" is perhaps my favorite HLP saying.
it's 100% Joe, I have to give credit :)
The monochromatic look was my fav. A very casual elegant feel.
Those trousers are a smash hit! Every outfit you put together using them was just so strikingly beautiful.
Also, the jumper with the skirt you made is such a lovely combination! It's giving family (blood/chosen) Sunday lunch, slightly dressed up, but still cosy and comfortable
I absolutely adore those pants! But also, the sweater and skirt combo was my favorite pairing. I really love the clay pants as well but that skirt scratched am unseen itch in my brain.
I use Dryell on dry clean only clothes as long as they don’t have any stains and more just need to be refreshed. I’ve never had wool, alpaca, or cashmere shrink with it.
Came here to suggest dryel too! I rewear my dry clean only pieces a few times before batching them in the dryel bag. Works perfect, and I have yet to ruin anything.
Have used Dryel also with great results.
Smells good too 😉
First, I really enjoy the fashion content and hope it can sustainably continue.
Second, I’d love to see a video detailing your process when searching for a second hand item to buy. I struggle to buy second hand online because the whole process seems so daunting. From finding an item (where to shop?) to interpreting listings to determining what that item might look like on me when there is no image of a model wearing it, etc
I would be the most dedicated viewer of a HLP fashion channel where you research, design, and produce your most desired designer fashion items.
Just putting that out into the universe
I second this!
Love this video Hannah! Taking the time to style new pieces at home with what you already have is such a good idea. Sometimes I feel silly playing in my wardrobe, but as a grownup I often feel like life gets too serious. I want more silliness and I like the reminder that I can tap into that feeling at home playing with the clothes in my closet!
As one of the "clothes people", I thank you for this video! It was so much fun and the combos you came up with were amazing!
I’m obsessed with the silk cami plus pants and the red on red look!
Love this video! The split screen makes it exceptionally good too!
I love your orientation to fashion! I would also love to continue hearing you discuss fabric content. I have been paying attention, but I still have a lot to learn in that regard. Thank you as always!
I love the way you balance talking about your own personal style/likes/preferences, and what might be helpful to someone with a completely different aesthetic. I've also noted that you include helpful information about different price points/budgets in your videos too. I don't always think your looks will suit me personally, but everything you wear looks absolutely stunning and perfect on you. There is an inherent authenticity and inclusiveness which is not forced, that I enjoy in your videos. I've found a little inspiration for my own self expression. Thank you!
I loved the pants with the bright red sweater. There’s something about mismatching shades of red on a redhead that just gets me. The pants seem like a great reward for their risk! And it’s great to hear your thought process!
Agree! I also love the cropped cut of the red sweater showing off waist and makes the leg look longer. great video
Knew I’d love the video as soon as I read the title but it GREATLY exceeded my expectations. Thanks as always for your unique and inspiring content.
In love with the pants! I actually like them best with the red cardigan at the end. I also imagine them well with a blazer. And I love the pink cardigan with your blue jeans! It gives such a nice vintage vibe, like I care but I don’t kinda aesthetic.
Incredible with that red cardigan! Agree!
of course my favorite piece from the entire video is one YOU MADE!!! I immediately scrolled down to check the description when the skirt came on and WOW. You are so talented! I really enjoyed all of the outfits you put together and I must say my jaw dropped when you first appeared in the rust colored body suit with the pants! I could feel how happy you were right through the screen
I loved this video on SO (and literally sew) many levels. I love awide legged pant and these pants both ways are extremely attractive to me. My body is markedly different than yours in size and shape, but I am already plotting a replication of them on some level. Some of the appeal is the juicy stunning color, but I also feel like the silhouette would be extremely successful in A fabric with a bold print as well.
Thank you for speaking on the importance of how natural fibers can be elevated by being blended with other textiles, especially something like polyamide can add resilience to wool that's worthwhile, both for wearability and care. It's about the longevity of use and wear in your wardrobe.
I truly love to hear you speak on this subject.
Woman! You scored bigtime! Love love love it! So well thought out and chosen!
❤💖❤💖❤💖
hi! i have a pair of Tibi trousers in the same fabric and I wash them by hand in cold water, lay them flat to dry and then iron them (on low heat) as needed. haven't had issues
literally BLESS YOU FOREVER for this comment
Love those trousers of yours, Sandra, and the colours with which you pair them. xo
As much as I love your beauty content, I'm living for the fashion and home videos as of late. I can only speak for myself, but I feel like the pandemic really eroded a lot of my love for make-up, so it's great to see videos centred around things that aren't in that space. Thanks for sharing! (And the pants are divine. What a great purchase!)
Amazing video, Hannah! Would love to see more like this.
Yessssss! More of these videos!!!!!
Came to say an oversized deep v-neck sweater and jogger pants are literally what I'm wearing now and I love this color combo! It's a more elegant take on a beautifully grungy style.
Hi Hannah!! Thanks so much for this video! I am obsessed with your aesthetic and eye for fashion, colour, and details. I could listen to you describe beautiful garments all day long lol ❤️. Love you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love watching your mind work. We have very different ideas of what is fashionable but clothes are as much art as they are to keep us warm and or covered. Feeling good in our clothes is certainly a luxury and one that I love to enjoy.
Yep i need a series of you talking about different fabrics and their nuances. That like needs to happen!!!
This is an amazing video concept! I love that you were able to find these pieces second hand and share so much about them. It would also be fun to see you take an inspo image and create an outfit from your closet or shopping second hand to re-create it 😍
I really love your fashion content. I too care a lot about fabric composition and trying to get out of drycleaning. I like that you buy designer second hand and not too much. Keep making this content!!!!
you make the absolute most insightful, transparent, down-to-earth, and practical fashion content I have ever seen on the internet. Thank you so much! as someone who has loved clothes all their life but has recently been in a huge funk with getting dressed, your content has been a breath of fresh air and I can't get enough!
Hannah is here, again, to inspire me to be a fashion goddess! (Even if only in my mind 😂😂😂)
Absolutely love this video and the garments/outfits. Agree with a couple of other comments about wanting to hear your thoughts more on fabric and what to look for when buying an item of clothing
I love your fashion content and hope to see more in the future. It’s really helpful to know your in-depth reasons and process for purchasing garments and what you learn with each purchase. It’s helping me to better analyse my own wardrobe and purchasing decisions.
The Babaa sweater with the pants…..stoooop it! That is a look.❤️ The sweater with the sweats…yes please. Total win with the outfit. Thanks for sharing!
This video is everything!!!😍😍 I am almost exactly the same auburn redhead as you and I never thought this shade of pink could ever work but you have shown me it totally can, you look incredible and I love the way you think. Girl, I’m obsessed 🥰🥰🥰 more fashion, you are an icon xxx
I think this is very much proof of ways that fewer nicer things can lead to being more satisfied with what you do buy and own.
The description of how to find the same/similar high quality clothing on the 2nd hand market is very helpful for myself as someone who has very little experience buying online secondhand.
Seeing you try on different combinations in a wardrobe playtime was fun to see, I think the jumper skirt combo was quite glamorous.
Hannah if you're worried about ruining the pants by washing them you could always do a patch test on the belt by dampening a small patch of the belt with water and seeing how it dries.
If that works out you could also gently wash part of belt and watching how it effects the fabric quality and seams.
I look forward to the pants and the jumper's future career in your wardrobe with great interest.
Any time you want to make another video talking about an outfit for half an hour, please feel free 😄 I think my favorite pairing was those gorgeous coral trousers with the Free People tiger tank top! There was something a little subversive, a little cheeky and insouciant about wearing such a casual, fitted top with the drapey, long lines of the designer pants. Thank you so much for sharing your process!
I love how you talk about clothing! Also I would love an updated video about your sweaters, I sense that you've added some real gems to your collection in recent months 💚
Yes, please teach us more about fabrics and how to get second hand garments. I am size 16 so for me it is a struggle to find designer pieces. But, I would totally love your insight here. I learned about wool today :)
Hannah! The segments where you talked about the garments you liked and why and how you would care for them was the biggest take away from this video. Thank you so much 😊
THANK U FOR TALKING ABOUT THE FIBER CONTENT BECAUSE IT IS A NON-NEGOTIABLE PART OF CLOTHES FOR ME X) undirected braindump: I happen to love alpaca, and I can attest that it ages very beautifully compared to my wool knits. It's also way easier to wash than wool; it's a lot harder to felt it. I really like that 100% alpaca relaxes and drapes as you wear it, much like cotton knits do. It makes sense that they'd blend it with polyamide for a designer sweater to help it that retain it's shape. I have a wildly rainbow alpaca hoodie that I got as a hand-me-down. Alpaca can be so warm that I layer it over a long sleeved tee as a lighter winter coat. I run warm, but it way out-performs my old northface fleece. Another fun fact: polyamide is nylon, and it's great as a blend with wool or silk because it can be dyed with the same dies. Polyester and acrylic blends require two different types of dyes to color all the fibers evenly.
Great video! I’d love to see the pants with your pink knitted vest as a summer version of the inspo outfit !
Love the pants after you illustrated their versatility. Great inspiration!
The pants really do look as high end as they are. Beautiful! Loved all the outfits.
If you like the pants high up and low you could just put a snap or two on the inside of the back of the hem so that you can take it up and let it out
Loving your fashion videos! I have been watching your makeup videos for awhile even though I don't wear makeup anymore, ha! Your approach to beauty and thoughtful consumption is refreshing. I appreciate hearing your thought processes around styling and shopping and as a tall/long waisted person it's helpful to see how garments fit you
Thank you for this video! I love it. It's actually a great idea to try a new piece of clothing with your other clothes to make sure if it's suits you and your wardrobe. I will start doing this from now on ❤️
(of course the whole informative content isn't less valuable, especially when you're talking about fabrics!)
Oh my, the skirt! Stunning! Also loved the red sweater and the sheeny cami with the pants.
Wow you really suit these when styled as a soft natural rather than the oversized dramatic. Love it! Trouser envy....
That red on red but not the exact same colour. I loved it. I literally gasped at the gorgeousness of it! My heart leapt. I normally would think it’s too close and will clash. But it’s perfect!
I agree, this was a great video idea especially with the focus on reflecting on the possible expectation-vs.-reality slope. However, I wished it would have been posted with some distance to NoBuyJuly. I had hoped that your no-buy would translate to a period of content that was palpably less influenced by the influx of new products, because to me as a consumer of beauty YT it can be challenging at times to be confronted with that percieved abundance in other people's lives, even when they talk so differentiatedly about it like you do. Probably a month is not long enough to let the "queue" of new products in waiting trickle down to nothing so that acutal no-buy-content is the only thing that can be realised?
I would appreciate if you considered this effect when you decide to talk about your NoBuyJuly experience and I hope that for you it all went like intended! ❤
Maybe if it had been a planned no-buy but it was spontaneous, she had videos already lined up and described this issue when announcing it. Good luck with your no buy! Perhaps take her inspiration by diving into your own clothes and fall back in love with what you have, or break down why it wouldn't work for you like she does with her anti-sephora halls!
I want want want that red pants with champaign top but I stepped back and remembered my boobs need a bra and my torso is too short to create that silhouette so I shall just admire like a work of art haha.
The sweater and black print skirt is lovely. Agreed the pants are such a win.
These pieces look better on you than on the ad model! Congratulations.
I agree that the sweater will probably be fine with a cool soak in a gentle detergent (shoutout to Eucalan and Soak brands' wash liquid). As a stretch-prone fiber, alpaca (blend) wants to be patted it into the correct shape on a mesh rack or thick towel and air dried. Easy. To minimize any risk of shrinkage, I'd use the coolest water and very little agitating, since you mentioned wishing the sweater were larger than it is.
As a sewing enthusiast and fellow home-washer I strongly recommend against hand washing the pants.
Not just because they're not 100% wool (which depending on specifics can sometimes be washed without warping or felting the fabric.) This scarlet dye might bleed in water. Worse: well tailored trousers contain many unseen components that won't behave alike, and if even one of the interfacing fabrics, the lining, waist tape, or topstitching, shrinks even a tiny bit in the water bath, the entire garment will be ruined. A garment that took dozens of man-hours to weave, cut and sew - isn't it safer to just dry clean it occasionally and spot clean it the rest of the time? A gentle hand steamer also freshens (spot-free) fabric nicely. If worn in winter you could prolong time between dry cleanings by wearing silk leggings underneath. Spoken as someone who'd do a lot to protect a pair of beautifully made, well fitting pants.
I absolutely love the red on pink outfit. Such a slay. I definitely wear that shape and bright colours but never in the same outfit
I really love how you styled the pieces individually
I love to see you playing with clothes, it's so artful and inspiring!
Love those pants! The two rows of belt loops are genius.
yay the origin story of these pants!!! i saw them on your instagram recently and just thought they were the greatest! glad i stumbled on this today, it sparked some serious joy :)
The slouchy looks suit you best :) The red jumper with the red pants are stunning! Also the slouching pink jumper tucked into jeans. Perfect. The other looks I'm actually not too convinced about but that's personal style.
Girl i love to hear you talk about a process of any kind. You have some incredible content. Helpens my adhd to hear you talk thru ur thoughts lol
First of all this video was amazing!! Also, my husband and I were at the Ann Arbor art festival last weekend and he said to me ‘you think Hannah went to this?’ he knows you are the friend in my head lol and I said I’m sure she loved it when she was living here
AWWWW I did!
I absolutely LOVE this video. I'm a knitter too, and I appreciate the intentionality of your fiber knowledge! I don't want to encourage this during your no-buy, but please consider making this a seasonal series - maybe one outfit per season, or even twice a year (spring/summer vs fall/winter) to make it more affordable?
Hey Hannah! These pants immediately reminded me of my two favorite pairs of pants from a brand called Roucha. The style name is the Praw Pant. They have the double set of belt loops as well, allowing for a lower rise with a drop crotch or a higher rise with the paper bag effect. Looks like they make them in 100% cotton now too! I only own the poly blend fabrication.
This outfit is so killer! Especially the brown bodysuit and red pants.
So... what about a "doubling the vibes"? Basically, just what you did: find the "inspiration image", get either the piece(s) or as close to it as you can while keeping the design details, and then doubling the vibes by integrating those pieces into you current wardrobe, changing the silhouette, playing with color theory, playing with formality over a touch of grunge. Same concept as getting a gorgeous single eyeshadow and exploring all of the looks and moods it can have, the facets of it's personality, outside of the static "inspiration image".
Loved your look on these items , those trousers are beautifully cut and looked great on you
Your fashion videos showed up in my recommended videos and I am so glad they did. Really like your style and view on things. Hope you continue down the fashion lane 😊
That outfit and colour combo is to die for. Great find!
Also if you want to cheat hemming the pants, there are iron on hem tapes. They often come with drapes but are also available for hemming pants.
And I personally never bring any of my clothes to a dry cleaner. I use the hand wash or wool setting on my washing machine and make sure to wash delicate things separately if I am really anxious about the first time washing an item. I have a lot of wool and hand wash / dry clean only clothes. And so far everything is washable in my machine (front loader). Even my wool coats and blazers 🙃
Please create a channel budget to do more of these videos!!! Omg! I enjoyed this sooo much
This brand new subscriber is so thoroughly enjoying this content! Thanks, lovely Hannah! 😊❤
It is fun, since I found these videos so inspiring even if my silhouette / style preferences feels so different 😄 I started thinking what I would love to see in my wardrobe, how to find my style and make cleaver purchases, so thank you for inspirations on how to do it ❤
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a long time! You have such a beautiful way of speaking and explaining things. I wasn’t surprised when I learned that you were an English major in college when I watched your interview on TFD! It’s so lovely listening to someone who is passionate and cares so much about a topic. Thank you for making these videos ❤️
Is there a better garment than a good sweater?
I don’t wear straight sizes, so it’s a little more difficult for me to implement your secondhand strategy, but I was really inspired by how you took the new garments and immediately incorporated them so well into your existing wardrobe. This wasn’t the point of the video, but I noticed how the color palette of your wardrobe is carefully curated. The new pieces seamlessly fit into that color scheme. A good reminder that fashion is seasonal and ever-changing, but personal style is timeless.
i absolutely loved this video and have never seen one quite like it. The theme of minimalism drew me in and i watched that one awhile back but this one was just so much fun!!! I love to play in my closet and rarely actually take the time to do it. I also love the skills you are sharing about fashion and sustainability; you are having such fun so thoughtfully. A rare combination. Please do more....this brought my spirits way up....was like trying on clothes with a girlfriend. Thanks.
I love the video concept of creating outfits from what you already own inspired by pins you love, I could watch that all day (if you wanted to do more of that).
hannah! please teach us more about fabric! i'd love a guide to refer to while i shop.
I just finished the Pinterest video, and was looking to see if you updated on if you bought the pink V neck sweater! What wonderful(and slightly strange) timing. I'm really loving all this fashion content you're giving us!!
I was at Goodwill today and saw a sweater for $3 just like this! I passed on it.. got home and saw this video and went back to goodwill to buy it! What a funny synchronicity! Happily influenced today!❤
SO cute when you cinch the waist!
this video was a delight to watch! such great style and styling inspiration and as always, I loved hearing your thoughts behind your purchase and styling decisions
i adore that the pink sweater and tomato red pants ALREADY hanging on your rail echo your new purchase. this shows that you have loved this combo for a while LOL
I can see your giddy excitement about finding these online and then your joy when you put them on ! What a fun video.
I think you might be my favorite fashion you tuber. So loved your minimalist wardrobe video, so now I’m looking back through your fashion content. Being included in your thought processes and analysis is so satisfying and enlightening. I especially love the pants worn higher with the silk cami and also with the bright cropped sweater. Beautiful classic silhouettes!
Just beautiful. I always look like I’m wearing the clothes in your initial try on as I’m 5”4’
both pieces are amazing! I like the sweater most with the clay sweatpants, the combo just looks so enviably chill. the pants is just *chef's kiss* 😍
The last pink sweater look was my absolute favorite! I'm going to take a page out of your book but do it in the inverse. I have a heavy cotton black sweater that I LOVE and loads of upcycled silk wrap skirts in all sorts of shades of pink with all sorts of patterns. I left it at my partner's last night so I won't be able to get it back until Friday, but I'm so eager to pair those garments up this weekend!
Absolutely love that you are doing more fashion content! Your videos are so thoughtful and enlightening, a standout among the many Shein hauls or capsule collections with one white and black pieces.
The pants look great on your frame no matter how they’re styled. What surprised me was the versatility of the sweater, and I absolutely loved it with the sweat pants (& I’m usually not a fan of sweats). Congrats on your wardrobe addition!
Loved the video! Those pants are beautiful, and I especially liked them with the red sweater!
