I just realized, the underskirt she had on with the first two outfits was functioning as a modern-day petticoat.
Modern dress trends make no sense to me. Historically women added quilted and woolen petticoats under dresses in winter, and now stores only seem to sell long skirts in summer, and winter dresses are mostly knee length or shorter. 🤷 I wear my maxi length dresses year round, with extra layers underneath. If your skirt actually covers your legs, it creates a pocket of trapped body heat around them that's so so much warmer than jeans where the wind just blows it away.
I so agree, I love her winter outfits. That how I would love to dress up and as you said the winter dress don't even cover my legs, and in summer they do? Ahhh fashion can be odd, but this made me happy 😁
Jeans are the magic. Always comfortable, always convenient. But to each their own I guess.
The air pillow never worked for me. I was alwayls colder with skirts that are layered, jeans always keep me warmer.
Today it was windy and -24 F, and I had 4 maxi length layers on to take out the garbage, but my legs were toasty. YMMV I guess, but it worked for me. It's why mittens are warmer than gloves. Speaking of which I need some new ones because those gloves didn't work at all, my hands were like ice.
Yeah, I gave up and started sewing my own skirts to be an inch below the knee and they're wonderful in the winter or summer. In the winter all I have to do is wear a slip and it's warm! Blue jeans feel like sheets of ice wrapping your legs!
I looove that you use the same coat and boots in every outfit. It conveys the very important message that finding something you really love beats having many options of mediocre items. Yay! and thank you. :)
It always feels so unrealistic when these videos have different shoes and coats for all outfits. I mean who does that actually?
@@jolienvsndijk i do.
@@jolienvsndijk i own more coats than skirts :(
@@vanillabananacrepe Do you own more coats than pants tho?
@@jolienvsndijk i have a very few pants and shorts, but long jeans feel uncomfortable to me, the way it bunches up around my knee, and of course because i get too thick over time. having to change my pants because of my thickness? no thanks, i have more space in skirts, i feel good in my body right now ❤
Having experienced both really humid cold and very dry cold, it’s hard to pick which one is worse. Where I live in Canada, our winters are very cold and very dry, and the dryness almost feels like knives. Like slicing and stabbing. When it gets windy, it literally feels like the wind is stabbing you in the face. But the place I used to live before, it didn’t get very cold in comparison but it was humid, and it felt like the cold was leaching under your skin and settling in your bones. It felt like you’re never be warm again.
Air moisture does a really funny thing to how we experience cold.
Where you live in Canada sounds like where I live in California. Very dry and windy. The cold is piercing and unforgiving when it does gets cold.
Living in Russia I have 2 different coats (i don't know how to translate that correctly) for each of these types of winter weather
Fellow Canadian here. Calgary Alberta. Very cold. -20 on a regular basis, occasionally -30 /-40. Extremely dry. Dry cracked skin and lips, With nose bleeds and sore throats as a bonus of breathing in all that cold dry air. We don't normally don't get a lot of snow, but lots of wind.
@@blank_line Your translation was perfect👍
Why do women live that far north? The northern territory is for miners, trappers and huskies. If i was female, I would insist on living no more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) from the equator. No lady should have to endure living in a cold climate. Haven't you heard of 3rd wave feminism?
As a Prairie Canadian, I didn't really expect you to tell me something I didn't know. When you said the key is layering, I was like, "duh".
Then you busted out a SECOND SKIRT?!!? Holy crap, I never thought of that, thanks so much!
reckless mermaid it is even better when one of the skirts is a woolen skirt!
Canadian here too. I mean if it was only -10, these outfits may work but I would never wear this in -20 or colder....
@@Kitty666EmoGoth I might try it. I have a farm so Im not saying I would go do my chores in this but yeah.
I wish more places sold longer skirts like this.
Agreed. Its hard to find skirts like this in store
Thrift stores!!
Try vintage on Etsy :)
if you have a sewing machine it’s actually super easy to make, it’s basically just a circle skirt you just have to find the right fabric, for me it takes about two or three hours but it’s really worth it
Depop has some good finds ^_^
You wear almost the same things as I do here in Finland when it's -15 or -20 (we have dry cold). But here are the couple things that I change; instead of the tank top I usually have a t shirt or nothing if I'm going to wear a knitted shirt. And under my skirt I have a pair of shorts (like pajama shorts I don't really care what they look like). Knee high socks or leg warmes on top of my normal 100 denier tights (I don't like thermal ones). And here's a confession: I don't have winter shoes, I just put a wooly thermal sole in my shoes when the temperature drops down so I wear the same shoes from early autumn to late spring. Edit: I do cycle in the winter too so I so put on ear muffs to keep my ears safe from the wind.
Love from Finland
I reaaaally want to visit Finland, especially during winter time, and I've been practicing my layering. :'D
I wonder whether dry cold feels warmer than more humid climate, case the only thing I can wear in Moscow when the temperature drops to -20 is skiing overals, and even then I wear skinny jeans underneath
Shorts under is a great idea, thank you! I live in Canada and only wear skirts, with an exception for outdoors in real winter. The number one thing people ask me is "how do you stay warm?!" I commute to work with a pair of long leggings on under my dress, and take them off to just tights when I get in. I call them my travel pants! Knee high socks are amazing too. I layer thigh high slouchy wool ones with knee highs on top and it's super cute.
in this outfit you describe, I'd freeze to dear death :o
My Grannies were born just after 1900 when women had to wear skirts that rose almost to the knee in the 1920s. They stayed comfortable (and modest on a bike) by wearing big knickers with gathers at the bottom of the legs. Bloomers is one name. Fine cotton in the summer prevents chafing like modern shorts and crop leggings. Thermal knickers came down over the top of stockings to keep the wind out.
Smooth silky stockings were for dressing up. Lisle stockings made of cotton or wool for everyday wear, lacy knit or thicker cabled patterns for winter, like modern over the knee socks. Matching thermal vests and spencers (like a fitted tshirt) helped too. Lambswool and cashmere are very warm thinner layers for jumpers/cardigans that don't add a lot of bulk. Looking cosy and warm is great but its better when you don't feel like the Michelin man. Lol
When I lived in Scotland it was common in winter to add a woollen shawl over the coat. Even with a hat on it could be lifted from the shoulders to cover head and shoulders the way Asian women wear pashminas.
Good video btw. Great to see people developing their own style over fashion.
Also who else sees her in the pink linen dress outfit, near a livestock pasture taking sketches while the dew acclimates on the grass. Just me? Okay..
Love this😍 as a muslim i wear dresses and skirts in the winter, and was really looking for how to keep the warm in winter ! Thank u love from Norway🥰😍
I use wool longs under wool or cotton tights to keep the cold out. You can also carry with you some tigh high socks to put on top of that when you go outside, but be aware that if your shoes become to stuffed your feet will become cold. Greeting from a fellow Norwegian :)
Muslims shouldn't live in Norway.
@@misspeach3755
Idiot
@@misspeach3755 Why not? Likely they were born there if they're of an age to be hanging out on TH-cam.
Miss Peach bigots shouldn’t live on Earth.
I also prefer skirts and layering in winter! Last year I knit myself a pair of wool bloomers, and I highly recommend them. Very handy AND vintage appropriate!
as a swede i really appreciate looks that are actually functional AND cute. looking decent is a struggle when it's -30°C 😭🙏
i live in norway and have always loved dressing feminin due to my not so feminin face and body. it helps me feel more, me. being a woman that looks male its not that pleasent to dress up in large jeans and a large jumper to stay warm. but with layering i think ill now feel more at peace even in the winter.
skirts are my heaven because i have such large thighs and hips/butt. and well jeans end up too long on my 160cm figure. and it just dosnt look too nice. but this week ill follow your tips! and see how it goes.
I think the key to stay warm is to have a wool longer coat (below the knee, that covers the skirt as well) - second hand or vintage is a great choise, fast fashion often dont have many wool coat and it really makes a great difference
Yes, this is exactly what I needed because I only wear dresses and skirts! I do this method of layering, minus wearing two skirts (I'm going to use that this winter). :-) Thank you so much for this video.
I checked out the Son de Flor dresses and I absolutely fell in love the moment I opened the page, and then almost fainted when I saw the price tag :(
I wish I could buy everything from them. Their shop is so darling!
same and what's terrible is that the prices aren't that crazy for linen which isn't the cheapest fabric (although it is when you take into account how durable it is) and for garments that are apparently produced locally and in collaboration with small companies (with EU work standards) and all of that has a coast.
But we're so used to fast fashion and clothes being dirt cheap both in price and quality that we're taken aback when the simplest linen dress turns out to be the price of two or even three sweatshop made H&M dresses. Except that for the time your quality Baltic sisters company's dress will take to really wear out (likely very long if you actually take care of it appropriately), you'll probably have gone though a dozen of fast fashion outfits one after the other and spent a lot more than if you'd bought a couple of these dresses.
The infuriating part is the whole being poor is expensive thing because sadly, capitalism decided that workers having living wages is overrated. That makes so many people unable to afford a $130 dress or a $200+ wool coat when then need one even if they're garments that could last a decade so instead they'll get a $30 dress and a $50 coat that will be falling apart in a year or two.
And all of that is without even beginning to talk about the environmental impact of the synthetic fibres and cotton used in fast fashion vs that of linen and wool used by this brand.
That was a lot bit I guess I have feelings about clothing and capitalism oops >__>
@@iyawakarehen Yeah I am aware of fast fashion and lately I've just gotten so tired of shopping for new clothes because I don't even have the money to afford it (especially when I get to thinking how I would like to buy something sustainable because I just don't have the funds) and because I know anything I buy won't last me very long, although I do already have clothes that are old and I'm still wearing it despite being maybe "outdated". That's why when I get the need to buy clothes I go to second hand stores at least. And yes what you said is absolutely right, I'm sure that the dresses on that site are made with quality material but I'm especially not used to spending sooo much money on clothing simply because I can't afford it therefore I don't know just how much some piece of actual good clothing may cost.
😂🤣I know right?
@@marina3240 Too true, all that. But I think one can buy less clothes and good quality clothes with the right approach (like buying timeless pieces from second hand shops). We are just simply too spoiled by having so many clothes and so many choices around us. By the way, the design of the Son de flor dresses is very similar to mori dresses. If you seach for "mori dress" on ebay you can find something cheaper in similar style (20-30 USD). I've bought a few of those and they are well made and still perfect after a few washes.
I adore the first outfit! For some reason it makes me think of 18th century working class dress with how they layered to keep warm in cooler months.
As someone who runs cold to begin with and struggles with seasonal depression, this is a godsend! I really don’t enjoy winter to begin with and I get run down by the gray sky and I always find that wearing a t-shirt and jeans with my winter coat every single day always makes me feel even more bogged down because I always feel I can’t look cute in the winter and not die from the cold lol thank you so much for these tips! This will definitely help my mood while staying cozy!
Lithuanian there, we learn layering early on, i was out sleeping in balcony at 3 days old, born end of november
we do the same in Finland
Like ACTUALLY sleeping on the balcony? To temper your body? That's incredible!!!
Meanwhile British children go outside without a winter coat on (or not have it zipped or buttoned up) and then complain about how "freezing" the weather is....at any temperature between 4°c to -2°!
I used to love watching hauls but I am trying not to support fast fashion so much anymore and don’t enjoy them as much now. Love this video, great fashion advice without encouraging excess spending. 😍🤩
Just wanted to say that i absolutely adore they way your channel is heading these days! You definitely fit the vintage/ historical fashion aspect of youtube and i am so here fo it
This video is honestly perfect timing for me as I'm gonna go visit my family in The Netherlands for new years and I currently live in a very warm country.
Four words...
BLESS YOU GRANDMOTHERS SOUL
I am in LOVE with that Son de Flor dress! The color suits you so well!
As a Christian I decided to wear just skirts and dresses for the lord. And you r so right. Dressing up in layers does keep one warm. I walk everywhere so I don't wear pants underneath 2 keep warm because it doesn't let me walk comfy. But layers. 👍👍 great video. Thanks 🤗
I live in a coastal town in Scotland, we have the same wet cold! ⛄ Grateful for this video, I've also struggled with this due to my winter coats being so bulky
i love that you do so many vintage related videos lately! it suits you so well honestly ❤️
Finally a REAL winter clothing video on TH-cam. Thank you
That pink dress is a dream !!! And I totally agree !! Layering is key !
I’ve started putting a camisole under my sweaters and tights under my jeans, and omg, it made me feel so much warmer! It like protects you from the wind or something!
Great info! Really love the first outfit. I actually came across a dress from son de flor at the thrift store last week. Can't wait to start wearing it.
I just love the way you dress! 🥰
It’s so ladylike and fashionable. 🥰
I followed your idea yesterday, it is quite cold here in Japan, and while my friends were freezing i was totally warm, not one bit of cold. thank youu🥰
My dad is always telling us that layering is the secret, so this is cool :). Where I live it's very humid as well, so I know exactly what kind of cold you're talking about, and it's definitely getting colder here, which is so exciting. Thanks for the video! I love all the outfits, they look really really good.
I'm honestly loving these clothing videos. They're so simple yet so informative. Love it.♥️
Though I do not normally wear feminine outfits, I still can relate to that "layering" thing. I once walked few kilometres down the rails in victorian dress replica with a nightshirt, underskirt, pantalets and warm tights underneath. Trolleybuses were blocked by heavy snow and it was about -28C with pretty humid atmosphere. And I caught a sweat
I double up on skirts for cold days too! SO warm. A couple years ago we actually got temps below freezing and I wore pantyhose, skinny jeans, and a skirt under an ankle length dress, with a voluminous chiffon scarf (because I didn't have a normal scarf) under my coat. The chiffon scarf actually did make a difference. Every little bit helps. Great video, I love the outfits!
These outfits are so cute! The tip about layering multiple thin layers instead of fewer thick ones is so true. I also swear by uniqlo heat-tech undershirts and leggings. They're super thin but keep you really warm.
Love all the looks!!!
Love your take on vintage... looks so cute and timeless!
I totally understand what you mean with the cold! I live in Sweden and the coldest I've experienced during the winter is -31 degrees celsius (yes, we're all dying). I dress in vintage style as well and layering is SO important and also if you find a good vintage styled wool coat (The longer the better sine it will cover more of your body) and other vintage styled accessories (boots, hat, scarf, gloves) you're pretty much good.
You look so great in all your clothes!! We dress alike. I love wearing 2 skirts, it gives a lot of body to the skirt that shows and does create a lot of warmth. I also just wore a sweater over my dress and it was so fun. Plus, I either wear ankle boots with everything or it’s sandal weather. I wear a beret too. I wear leggings under my skirts and dresses too. You are very smart to keep wearing that coat. That’s exactly what I do with a coat. If it’s perfect, it stays perfect and can make a person feel dressed well on a daily basis. Another tip I have for those who sew-make a cotton flannel skirt, or half slip, to wear under your dresses and skirts, It really helps. A thousand thank yous!!!!
1:56 You look like a beautiful vintage doll, Loopsie. My God, I think I'm in love 😂
Super cute!! Love all your outfits - especially your H&M coat! Great advice! Hello from California!
This video made my day! I have a beautiful dress collection and living in cold humid climate as well I gave up for 4 months out of the year. Im so happy to get ideas to keep wearing my beautiful dresses. thank you
I understand what you're saying about the humidity making the cold worse. I lived in Georgia, in the Southern United States for many years and that high humidity did chill me to the bone. The cold is colder and the hot is hotter.
What beautiful clothes you have! I'm drawn to 50s, feminine, pretty clothes, too, and will be sewing them out of necessity. :)
These outfits were all so cute! I will definitely be layering up my skirts and outwear from now on 💖
LOVE LOVE THAT PINK DRESS GREAT IDEAS OF KEEPING WARM
This is so helpful! I’m from San Diego and now live in snowy & dry Colorado, I am NEVER warm enough even with a coat-these are great tips!
Simplistic, yet classy...I love it
I love the 2 outfits with skirts, they look very elegant, feminine and classy which I’m really into. I can’t stop rewatching it. ❤️❤️❤️
Now I have ideas how to layer to keep myself warm, this is very helpful. 💕🌸
Thank you for this. I almost exclusively wear dresses in the warm times indoors and jeans in the winter. I am about to become a mother and want to dress according to my increased feelings of femininity. I also usually wear jeans when I go outside to do shopping at the farmers market, but feel wearing a dress will give me more space and let others know to take care around me. I will be using these tips. I live in California and never even heard of thermal tights. What a concept!
love son de flor dresses. you looked so timeless on those outfits ❣️
I adore your style and outfits!!❤❤❤
I just moved to Boston and it seems to have a similar dampness in the air. This is good to keep in mind.
When I lived in Boston, the best thing I ever bought was a pair of leather gloves. They weren't expensive or even very well made (like, a $30 pair from Target I think), but the leather kept my hands dry AND warm and I could still grasp things with my fingers.
I just moved here too! I basically shut down and went into shock during the recent coldsnap. I've done Midwest winters but this is such a UGH!
Oh my soul I love your vintage style am a big fan! I love how your outfits are not too revealing I like that😊
I LOVE your style!!!
Absolutely love these winter looks. Especially the cape over thr coat! Very romantic looks! Love these looks so much! 💛💛💛💛👢👢
Im wanting yo use the start of school next year to start wearing the gintage style. Im finally admitting that I love it and I feel so cute wearing it.
These are adorable! Thank you so much!
At school and in the city, at church as well- I only wear skirts, no matter the season so your video was a good help for me. Thank you !! You gave me new ideas for the winter season 💟
thats learning from former generations! Brilliant. For many decades woman wore many layers of cloth!
I feel like videos about fashion in winter should always tell us where they are living so we can understand what that creator thinks winter is. Because winter is different in different places.
So thanks for doing that.
This winter if have started wearing skirts and dresses as well and I am sooo cozy! Really nice outfits, also I love that you showed the same pieces multiple times, yay for less need for owning a lot and instead styling creatively :)
Oh my gosh, your wardrobe is goals!
Wardrobe goals.
This made me think of ways to use my typical summer clothes! Really helpful and I love your outfits in this video!
Love your style!!!
I really love outfits in Winter ,I've always wanted to be girly but didn't even know how to start and seeing you video it's makes me so happy. Brings a smile on my face and how to try these outfits and give it a go. Thank you for this 😊❤
Don't forget the Dutch wind! Love the idea of using an underskirt and love your style in general, I also wanted to continue wearing skirts in winter, so I actually found 2 really warm knitted skirts, one from H&M and one at Primark, happy to see more people wearing the skirt in winter!
I have needed this video for SO LONG... thank you 😭😭😭❤️❤️
So helpful, thank you! I just started my vintage journey and wondered how to wear it over winter.
Layering is key! I love fleece lined leggings. I’ll wear them under my pants or skirts. I have similar boots to your brow ones, but mine are black. I wear them all through fall, winter and spring
Used the two skirts tip on my trip to Krakow this year. I'm new to vintage fashion and traveling to a place with colder climate then Rijeka, Croatia where I'm from and mantaining it was my little personal challenge. Two skirts, cotton tights, long wollen socks and extra pair of super-thick wollen socks for the night and I made it. I was actually TOO warm half the time.
Also much more comfortable then having tights layered underneath jeans. Plus, being able to actually LAYER DOWN on the very warm bus by either rolling my socks down or taking of one of the skirts was a blessing, since I hate being stuck with two pairs of tights undernath jeans on a bus that is 23°C.
Really loved the outfits....
Wonderful looks. Great advise. I live in a warm climate, however it may snow one or two days here in winter. Our rainy days get chilly. For me simply putting on pair of thin silk thermals under jeans takes an outfit from damp/cold to toasty.
Thank you! I so appreciate this. Now I won't be cold. I had layered with a slip but knee high socks only. I did feel a bit cold today on my knees. It's like 30 something F° outside today. I did wear a cape so I did something right. Thank you. Layering is the key. Two pairs of tights! Wow!! Awesome ideas.!!
Hugs
OMG I clicked this so fast! I literally just finished the final hemming on my first sewing project ever and it's a knee/midi plaid skirt! This is so perfect!
Oooh, love that vest!
I love that black coat too. I’ve looked for something like that, but they’re always wool, which I do not wear/use.
My lifesaving item for the cold days are bodysuits with short sleeves. In comparison to camisoles they keep the shoulders warm and the back. And there is no risk whatsoever that it slips out.
I really enjoyed the video Loepsie!
I love your style ! 😍
So many lovely ideas! And yes we love layering so much. We are so happy to see you happy in the dress! :) Wish you cozy season :)
Loved that first outfit! Here in New England, layering is a way of life.
Love your tips on layering! Thanks for posting this video.
I love your outfits..especially the first two ..they are the kind I'd definitely try out
I really love the first outfit and always wanted to have vintage clothes.
Isabeau Wolf samee I rlly want the whole outfit especially the vest and coat
Ooof I feel you with the moist cold. It is so hard to look cute and layer too! Love your tips.
Wow. I love this because I needed these tips. I have more dresses and skirts than I do jeans so this is the best. Thank you!!!
great points! And yes, I found a pair of thermal tights in Canada and I wear them all the time! It's warmer here in Indiana, so I don't have to wear them as often, but I love them. I don't know if they fit under my new skinny jeans, but that's ok. I LOVE how you tuck your shirts into your tights and how you double layer your skirts! Neat!
I love wearing skirts and dresses but live in Northeastern Ontario Canada and my city is surrounded by approx 300 lakes, rivers, creeks etc. so the cold here gets very bitter with all the humidity, like the kind that burns and hurts really bad so this is super useful!
I love this idea! I live in the mid-Atlantic, and we get super cold and wet winters (and ridiculously hot humid summers- the worst of both extremes 😭) and I haven’t been dressing vintage like I love because I just get too cold. And I have to wear compression tights anyway, so I’m def going to take advantage of these tips 💕
So cute. I want to see these things in fashion it's really nice.
So cute!
this is the first video i’ve watched of yours and oh man. just fell in love with your style
love this
As soon as the Autumn comes I start to wear skirts and dresses with ankle boots. Autumn is my favourite month of the year and I just cannot wait till it arrives so I can put all my dresses/skirts on. Fleecey tights are awesome for colder regions
Beautiful!
Yeey! Another feminine clothing loving Dutch girl! Such a nice video!
I appreciate your helpful fashion tips, wear skirts all the time, thanks.
Great video! I love the idea of styling the same coat in different ways. I'll definitely have to try that. One trick I learned in layering: shorts over tights! I bought these thin boy-shorts style underwear an wear them over my tights as not only an extra layer, but they also function to keep my tights from riding down throughout the day.
Inspirational. Thanks for sharing.
