Yes to men’s department. I was trying to find a white overshirt in linen or cotton over the summer. As a plus size woman I can never find the right fabrics for the summer. I found a bunch of these easy cotton linen blend shirts in the men’s department and in my size. It’s sad that women, especially plus size can’t find good quality. When I find an item in natural fibers, I buy them up. I am in the hunt for a leather camel trench coat. At my size it will be hard, but you inspire me to not give up. Thanks for another inspiring video!
I know it may seem impractical, but maybe purchasing leather material and have it custom made for you. I've had to do that for clothing I can't find and really want. I have a faux leather bomber from Eloquii, but my arms are larger and I had to have it customized. The things we do for fashion. Good luck in your pursuits!
G 111 was a big leather brand in the 80’s early 90’s I remember selling pieces at my local department store. Leather skirts and coats were big sellers.☺️
I laughed so much about “camel” that coat! What an odyssey. And when you said bright orange belt, I thought “it’s gotta be camel” I died when you said it! You are the best and so inspiring to me!
I just love your excitement about clothing! Those faces you make when you show an outfit that you know is fabulous, hilarious. It’s not just your style that I love it’s also the way you make me feel like you’re my best friend. Thanks so much for this wonderful style hacks video. Hope you made it through the awful weather without damage. ❤️❤️
I would like you to know that YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!!! YOUR style, finesse, class, and PASSION. It is INTOXICATING to watch you in action!! I’ve been in a depressing slump and watching you, woke me up and motivated me today. THANK YOU. YOU ARE A BLESSING and I’m so THANKFUL to GOD for having you be a part of my life and style. GODS continued blessings.
Thank you for the video Karen! Sunglasses are always a good idea, even in winter. They protect your eyes. The lack of pockets in women's wear is, I am sure, a deliberate practice. Years ago in the 1930s, Diana Vreeland tried to push for pockets in women's clothes and Carmel Snow who was the editor at Harpers at the time, block the move citing the backlash from the handbag manufacturers.
This is so NYC /east coast USA ! I love it. Not a single look practical for my region but I LOVE IT. It's a virtual trip to the city that never sleeps. And of course mixing textures, keeping color combos tonal and monochromatic, playing with your silhouette...this is how each of us can find and develop our individual signature styles. Karen , your enthusiasm is contagious ❤ Tent camping with family this weekend, but as I pack imma keep it stylish 😁
I love camel and rust tones, too. They’re not great with my cool complexion, but I wear them anyway, often with a white collared shirt to make them play better with my skin tone. Or, I wear them on the bottom, with a softer, but tonal, shade near my face, like a beige.
Yes. So right about menswear. I still remember a forest green wool blazer from the Gap. I bought on THAT sale rack…the one wayyy in the back of the shop with the most random, old, out of season stuff and I found her there. I always felt like a million bucks in it. Cool, effortless and comfortable. God, that was 30 years ago and I still remember it well. Amazing!
Karen I love wearing red lips and bolder darker colors during fall and winter, but we still wear a masks here in Mexico, soy what I've done is buy specific colored ones to combine with my outfits, also designer inspired face masks 😌😌😌 they also make an outfit pop
I couldn’t agree with you more, I snagged myself a Burberry trench coat in the men’s department at the thrift store. I love shopping in the men’s department, I found the nicest shorts & sweatshirt with designs in the men’s section two months ago. I can’t wait to wear the tops when it gets cooler out. Great video as always Karen. Sending positive vibes to everyone. ☮️☝🏽❤️🥂
Wife replying. I kept some of my late husband's clothes three suits and some overcoats three-quarter length even trench coats and I will never part with them they look fabulous on. They are better quality clothing. I agree with you better made. The 70s I always wore men jeans they fitted better better quality they lasted me for a long time. I brought my first maxi herringbone coat in the late 60s early 70s. It was unique I just love that coat
You stated the real reason I started following you. YOU SHOP THE MEN"S DEPARTMENT. I didn't think any other women did this until you. I'. 5"7 with curves I initially went for longer sleeves and torso length .
I love autumn too. Yes to all this: textures, tonal outfits, hats and playing with volume. I have just bought a thrifted, green, suede chunky belt. Thank you for the skillshare link and discount too 💜.
Karen I love wearing my husband clothes and if it’s something I brought for him, it may not make it in his closet. I always use to wear driving caps with a crisp white button down!
15:00 - your beautiful self justifying buying the Loewe belt in size L. And adding there are extra sizes - smaller. - myself wondering if they'll ever do an XL, XXL version.
Love this, I can’t wait for autumn because I love the jewel tones plus being plus size I find it so much easier to dress my shape in winter when it’s more natural to have arms covered etc
I love, love, love, all your style advice! You are so, correct about the men's department! A lot of times, you find things cheaper, as well! I will apply these hacks to my Fall wardrobe! Thank you, Karen!
Awesome video!!!! I loved ALL of your fashion hacks! I especially love the long coat suggestion…I don’t care that I’m 4’10” and in my late 60’s, I feel absolutely chic and amazing in my “to the ankle” coats! I love your edgy look with the wide belt…I wear wide belts all the time, mostly fall/winter. I will definitely be wearing that oversized knit crop sweater (jumper) with my long black slip dress along with some chunky boots or black converse sneakers! I’m so tired of fashion bloggers telling me what I can’t wear over 40, 50, etc and being quite the petite girl. I love wearing clothing items in the most unexpected ways! Sometimes just by flipping them, reversing them, or wearing a top or sweater inside out can create a more fun or edgy look! I NEVER walked out of my house with an outfit on that has not been carefully planned out. My outfits influence my mood and the way I carry and present myself…If I start my day in a “sucky” mood, I can creatively change it simply by up styling my outfit! Throwing on that punch of color, like you suggested, such as my bright orange pumps, certainly turns up the mood on an otherwise blah day! A piece of statement jewelry has often transformed a casual outfit into “Wow” outfit with no effort at all! There are always rules of proportion and balance that should be considered (as an artist I am well aware of this); however, be the canvas and just paint away!!! Perhaps today I will channel Picasso!!!
I appreciate your advice especially on the jewel tones, I have emerald greens and sapphire blues but was nervous on the pairing but now I look at it, it looks good. Citrine oranges and yellows look great too. Thank you for helping me revamp my wardrobe
I have been a subscriber of you for a long time and I continue to watch you mostly because you are one of the only few style bloggers who actively do Menswear. 90% of my wardrobe is secondhand and about 80% of the items I own are Menswear. Particularly vintage menswear. The quality and craftsmanship is just unbeatable!
I love, love, love these hacks Karen. They all work for me! When I was younger I hit the thrift shops for men’s 40’s tweed jackets and coats. I loved them as I did men’s classic 501’s. As I am now older and my body as changed, I find I gravitate much more to fitted jackets, clothes that accentuate my waistline and minimise by bust and hips. I just put a gorgeous menswear suede blazer into the give-a-way bag and your hack about wearing a skinny belt with it got me running to pull it out again. Thank you!
I'm 5'4 and found a great men's chocolate pinned stripe suit for the fall and it fits like it was tailored for me, he must have been my height too, no hemming of the pants needed. Have a Great Labor day weekend with Michael ❤❤🖐🏾 @KarenBritChick
Yes! Men’s dept. Clothes proportioned for men offer the length in both pants and shirts/blazers/coats etc that give the generosity of cut that usually is only available in women’s designer brands. Plus-the pockets. The linings. Bonus.
Thank you so much for going into so much detail. Color is very emotional and sentimental to me. Since I was a child I still love green, blue and purple together because Agnes Moorehead wore that combo on her Endora costume in Bewitched. And in the sixties,, my sister had a navy, turquoise and green shift dress that she wore with translucent beads in matching colors. These colors make me feel cozy and exuberant. I love jewel tone tops with white or ivory pants. I just ordered a shiny copper-color mid-weight puffy coat and I can't wait to wear it with cream pants. Also ordered a tomato red puffy coat. Enough said. Thank you for helping me use clothing to elevate every occasion from doing laundry and grocery shopping to eating out. BTW, your outerwear advice has been so useful as outdoor events and outdoor dining are so prevalent. Coats no longer cover up, they are the main feature. And you are my inspiration.
Yes Karen I agree when I was in my twenties …..I remember wearing my dads wedding jacket to work (I was a manger in a clothing store) When ever I wore that jacket clients always asked me about the Jacket. I am going to start looking in men’s wear. Great tip
Yes to the men's department! Clothes are usually better quality and cost less! I've heard it's because the budget devoted to a men's collection is spread over fewer styles/options, hence more money goes towards the materials! With women, that same budget is spread over more styles/colors/options, etc., so designers cut costs by spending less on the materials...
Yes to the men's clothes. I've been doing that for over 50 years (yikes). Had to, I was really tall and couldn't get clothes long enough! Shop the vintage/used clothing for great coats, shirts and jeans. Love your videos Karen!
When you get excited about your combo matches, it makes me want to go see what hidden treasures I am missing to combined in my closet. Thank you for sharing your tricks! Great video
You're awesome and so spot on about menswear for women. Enjoy your autumn, Karen & Michael. I can't wait to see what you show for streetwear in NYC this season. We're all in need of some fashion joy!
Haha! What a "disappointed teacher" reaction that was at 25:40 - I've said it a hundred times students - "shop the men's department!" lol Having watched your channel now for a while, I've thrifted a blazer and top from the men's department and love the oversized look. Thanks for these tips!
I have ALWAYS loved experimenting with my personal style. But watching your videos has opened up my perspective a little more. SUPER excited (well... more than my usual) to dress up now! Also, LOVE your style and you are gorgeous!
Yes! I can’t wait until it’s cold out because my fall wardrobe is my favorite!! Also, the tip on shopping the men’s department is awesome. Every time I’ve done that, I found great pieces, not to mention at better price points too.
I followed you all the way from Instagram and found myself here. Speaking about the best thing that has happened to me this month. You have a new fan 🥂
Since I have been watching your videos. I'm all about men clothing. Love blazers, long sleeve shirt, tuxedo jackets, suits etc... and I love them... Thank you ,Karen 😘😘😘
There are certain pieces that make you want it to be cold outside. YES!!!!! I have a sapphire quilted velvet bomber that I cannot wait to wear with my KBC emerald green top. Jewel tones...Le Sigh! I love cool/cold weather clothes!!!
I finally on purpose went to the men’s department and found a beautiful taupe blazer with those peaked lapels. Thought of you instantly. My dtr was with me. She was shocked how good it looked. I love it. It’s for warmer weather. Can’t wait to shop for fall/winter.
As an Australian none of this is useful to me right now as we’re going into Spring but I often refer to your videos about Fall/Winter dressing because I’m not great at it because it’s only cold for a short time here. You’ve taught me how to Winterise my Summer wardrobe which has made me feel stylish all year round by layering under and over my Summer dresses. I’ve now started looking for coloured pieces I can wear in Summer and add a matching colour coat/jacket in Winter.
MENS DEPARTMENT!!! Mens blazers are the best thing that ever happened to my wardrobe!)) There is one oversized blazer I've got at Goodwill for $5.99, it kinda looks like Balenciaga to me, I ALWAYS get compliments on this blazer or a look in general. Best purchase ever))
My tip for buying real leather trousers and skirts, buy them snug. I didn’t know, when I bought my first item, how much it stretches over time. I wouldn’t go down a full size, because we tend to gain weight with age and these are forever items, but if in-between, buy the snugger fit.
I'd never considered shopping Mens department before I watched Karen's videos... now, my best knitwear pieces (at a lower price point end) have been from the mens section. I tend to go for more 'skinny fit' type pieces if you don't want oversized and I promise, no one has ever guessed it was Mens before I told them. Thank you Karen x
I totally agree with you about Coat lengths especially because I'm 5'9 and want a long, dramatic coat for winter.... I think I'll be making my way to the men's department from now on 😃 Thankyou for sharing your Tips. 🙏
Hi Karen , I just love your excitement about clothes it really makes me think about what I have in my wardrobe !! This is my favourite time of year and love changing up my looks ! Thanks for your enthusiasm! Xx
Because of you, I am wearing a silk emerald green skirt and a purple top with gold detailing. You make one want to play in their wardrobe all the time. #MixAndMatch You are genius, passionate, authentic and oh! so stylish. 🌺🌺🌺
right Karen... you have inspired me today. I'm 41 and I think it's time for me to sort out my wardrobe and get some hats. I always think i'd like one or two, but never have any. i'm going shopping! :)
Amazing video!!! Watching it during this beautiful early fall morning on a day off, and I feel incredibly inspired to style some beautiful pieces that I already own and buy the pieces I’ve already started saying for. Your style reminds me of my own! Thank you again for another fashionable video!!! 🤗🤗
I used to love fashion and wearing what I wanted, and then I slowly fell out of it. Now I'm almost 30 and I feel like I don't know who I am anymore fashion-wise. (Side note: it makes that "what not to wear" show make sense to me now a bit - I wonder how many other women find themselves in a slump following various periods of transition or who just fell out of it like me...) But I have to say, you, (your passion, and the kind of "fuck it, do what makes you happy" attitude you radiate) are making me so happy and excited about fashion for the first time in a long time. I'm so sick of being around people who judge people for making bold, personal, unique fashion choices, and I'm sick of thinking about others when I look at clothes. Thanks for the tips to help me rock it, and for the energy to encourage me to just go for it anyway. What fun is there in fashion if you have to be afraid of making mistakes?? SO glad I stumbled across your channel
Can't wait for fall, I'm dying to wear cooler weather outfits. So many more options! Girl, you have the best energy. I bet you're a blast to shop with!
I'm going to refer back to this video throughout the Fall and Winter.. Those color groupings were fabulous! Thanks Karen
@ Anita Andrews
Me too.
I found a pre owned. Men's cashmere Valentino blazer that is to die for
Yes to men’s department. I was trying to find a white overshirt in linen or cotton over the summer. As a plus size woman I can never find the right fabrics for the summer. I found a bunch of these easy cotton linen blend shirts in the men’s department and in my size. It’s sad that women, especially plus size can’t find good quality. When I find an item in natural fibers, I buy them up. I am in the hunt for a leather camel trench coat. At my size it will be hard, but you inspire me to not give up. Thanks for another inspiring video!
I hear you. Somehow the industry doesn't think plus size women do not deserve comfy, structured, and tailored clothes.
I understand I'm plus size 18 and I find really nice outerwear at New York and Company and Eloquii
Bet you are going to look fabulous in that leather trench. Hunt it down and wear it often!
I know it may seem impractical, but maybe purchasing leather material and have it custom made for you. I've had to do that for clothing I can't find and really want. I have a faux leather bomber from Eloquii, but my arms are larger and I had to have it customized. The things we do for fashion. Good luck in your pursuits!

OMG! The Camel! Totally remember the hunt for that coat.

It’s not just your style that I love it’s also the way you make me feel like you’re my best friend. Thanks so much for this wonderful style hacks video.

"Have I ever told you I love you?":)) I do, Karen. I do.
I would like you to know that YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!!! YOUR style, finesse, class, and PASSION. It is INTOXICATING to watch you in action!! I’ve been in a depressing slump and watching you, woke me up and motivated me today. THANK YOU. YOU ARE A BLESSING and I’m so THANKFUL to GOD for having you be a part of my life and style.

Yes! shop the men's department. I purchased a BAD A suit in the men's department and it is everything and everybody wants to know where I got it.
Thank you for the video Karen! Sunglasses are always a good idea, even in winter. They protect your eyes.
The lack of pockets in women's wear is, I am sure, a deliberate practice. Years ago in the 1930s, Diana Vreeland tried to push for pockets in women's clothes and Carmel Snow who was the editor at Harpers at the time, block the move citing the backlash from the handbag manufacturers.
@Daniel in the Antipodes I've always suspected this was the reason for the lack of pockets - great info
Yes to menswear!!!! Being 5’9” it’s a dream what I find, specially thrifting! Loved this video! Great hacks 😊
Everything cozy makes me eager for fall and winter: coats, sweaters, boots,tights & wool blazers .
I don’t know what to say. My wife just loves watching your content - thanks for sharing.
For us petites, a woman's maxi length coat or dress may already be to the floor (or more) :)
Yes to hats as a key accessory. I am ready to put away my summer collection for my thicker fabric hats very soon. Yeah!!
This is so NYC /east coast USA !
I love it. Not a single look practical for my region but I LOVE IT. It's a virtual trip to the city that never sleeps.
And of course mixing textures, keeping color combos tonal and monochromatic, playing with your silhouette...this is how each of us can find and develop our individual signature styles.
Karen , your enthusiasm is contagious ❤
Tent camping with family this weekend, but as I pack imma keep it stylish 😁
A virtual trip to the city. I love it!
Yes 👏🏽 indeed 👏🏽
Hats and sunglasses make you look mysterious too!
I love camel and rust tones, too. They’re not great with my cool complexion, but I wear them anyway, often with a white collared shirt to make them play better with my skin tone. Or, I wear them on the bottom, with a softer, but tonal, shade near my face, like a beige.
Try wearing a terracotta blush...it kind of balances things out!
Texture mixing is at its peak in the fall. Absolutely love it!
Yes. So right about menswear. I still remember a forest green wool blazer from the Gap. I bought on THAT sale rack…the one wayyy in the back of the shop with the most random, old, out of season stuff and I found her there. I always felt like a million bucks in it. Cool, effortless and comfortable. God, that was 30 years ago and I still remember it well. Amazing!
Yeah! I 💕 shopping in the men’s section.
Karen I love wearing red lips and bolder darker colors during fall and winter, but we still wear a masks here in Mexico, soy what I've done is buy specific colored ones to combine with my outfits, also designer inspired face masks 😌😌😌 they also make an outfit pop
Omg, you totally get me!!! Can't wait to be cold enough to wear my super long oversized camel coat. I found it on a charity shop 2 years ago.
I couldn’t agree with you more, I snagged myself a Burberry trench coat in the men’s department at the thrift store. I love shopping in the men’s department, I found the nicest shorts & sweatshirt with designs in the men’s section two months ago. I can’t wait to wear the tops when it gets cooler out.

Wow, what an extra great find at a thrift store! 😁

Karen I love wearing my husband clothes and if it’s something I brought for him, it may not make it in his closet. I always use to wear driving caps with a crisp white button down!
I AGREE WITH EVERY SINGLE FASHION HACK IN THIS VIDEO! 🤩💯💥- I recently thrifted my first blazer out of the men's section. 100% wool, pure bliss 🤌🏽
15:00 - your beautiful self justifying buying the Loewe belt in size L. And adding there are extra sizes - smaller.
- myself wondering if they'll ever do an XL, XXL version.
I agree a 1000% on your remarks on the mans department! do it for years!
Great video learnt how to mix some of my pieces xx
Glad I could help
This is the best style advice I have ever received! I’ve been looking for how to mix textures - so helpful! Thank you Karen!
You are so welcome!
Love this, I can’t wait for autumn because I love the jewel tones plus being plus size I find it so much easier to dress my shape in winter when it’s more natural to have arms covered etc
You’re are so correct about texture, always works to give any outfit that absolute punch!
Been asking the husband for his old suit trousers and jackets!!!! He thinks I’m mad but little does he know ha!!!
I love, love, love, all your style advice! You are so, correct about the men's department! A lot of times, you find things cheaper, as well! I will apply these hacks to my Fall wardrobe! Thank you, Karen!
Mixing textures is everything 😍 I share your excitement!!
Love how you tell a story about the looks you feature. Also, the men's department advice is something I must remember.
As a 5’8” woman I am so here for the long coat rant! 💯 Loved this video 🍂
Men’s dept. best advice I’ve ever followed.
Amazing Karen!! Thank you for the beautiful video!

I love fall , I love boots and outfits with boots, more longer much better
Jackets, blazers and coats from the men's yes, and most importantly the Vests!
I'm 5'4 and found a great men's chocolate pinned stripe suit for the fall and it fits like it was tailored for me, he must have been my height too, no hemming of the pants needed. Have a Great Labor day weekend with Michael ❤❤🖐🏾 @KarenBritChick
Yes! Men’s dept. Clothes proportioned for men offer the length in both pants and shirts/blazers/coats etc that give the generosity of cut that usually is only available in women’s designer brands. Plus-the pockets. The linings. Bonus.
Thank you so much for going into so much detail.
Color is very emotional and sentimental to me. Since I was a child I still love green, blue and purple together because Agnes Moorehead wore that combo on her Endora costume in Bewitched. And in the sixties,, my sister had a navy, turquoise and green shift dress that she wore with translucent beads in matching colors. These colors make me feel cozy and exuberant.

BTW, your outerwear advice has been so useful as outdoor events and outdoor dining are so prevalent. Coats no longer cover up, they are the main feature. And you are my inspiration.
Love that black top on you! Happy Fall! Love the sleek with cable knit. Certain pieces make you want to wish for it to be cold outside! Yes!
Yes Karen I agree when I was in my twenties …..I remember wearing my dads wedding jacket to work (I was a manger in a clothing store)
When ever I wore that jacket clients always asked me about the Jacket.
I am going to start looking in men’s wear. Great tip
Yes to the men's department! Clothes are usually better quality and cost less! I've heard it's because the budget devoted to a men's collection is spread over fewer styles/options, hence more money goes towards the materials! With women, that same budget is spread over more styles/colors/options, etc., so designers cut costs by spending less on the materials...
Yes to the men's clothes. I've been doing that for over 50 years (yikes). Had to, I was really tall and couldn't get clothes long enough! Shop the vintage/used clothing for great coats, shirts and jeans. Love your videos Karen!
When you get excited about your combo matches, it makes me want to go see what hidden treasures I am missing to combined in my closet. Thank you for sharing your tricks! Great video
This is your HAIR, Karen. Love, love, love……u look unique and so cool.
Always so much value in your hack videos. I love it
You're awesome and so spot on about menswear for women. Enjoy your autumn, Karen & Michael. I can't wait to see what you show for streetwear in NYC this season. We're all in need of some fashion joy!
I love the Mens' Department for coats.....they are always classic and the secret inside pockets are always a bonus.
You are iconic. Idk how else to express it.
Haha! What a "disappointed teacher" reaction that was at 25:40 - I've said it a hundred times students - "shop the men's department!" lol
Having watched your channel now for a while, I've thrifted a blazer and top from the men's department and love the oversized look. Thanks for these tips!
I have ALWAYS loved experimenting with my personal style. But watching your videos has opened up my perspective a little more. SUPER excited (well... more than my usual) to dress up now! Also, LOVE your style and

I followed you all the way from Instagram and found myself here. Speaking about the best thing that has happened to me this month. You have a new fan 🥂
True! My Nanushka puffer jacket makes me want winter come sooner.
I’m so obsessed with your channel! I just love your enthusiasm and how u have a blend of all types of styles!
Since I have been watching your videos. I'm all about men clothing. Love blazers, long sleeve shirt, tuxedo jackets, suits etc... and I love them... Thank you ,Karen 😘😘😘
Brilliant content...especially shopping in the men's department! Loving your tips, your logic and your inspo. Just wow, Karen!!!!
There are certain pieces that make you want it to be cold outside. YES!!!!! I have a sapphire quilted velvet bomber that I cannot wait to wear with my KBC emerald green top. Jewel tones...Le Sigh! I love cool/cold weather clothes!!!
Yeeessss to the Men’s department!!!💪🏽

You have no idea how many button down shirts I have borrowed from my husband!😇
Yes!!! Building a wardrobe based on your style! Thanks Karen Britchick! I can't wait for it! 😍🔥💕👏
Karen is back👏👏👏👏and ready for Fall!! My favorite season mixing textures....bring the colors in wool, cotton, silk.
PAPER PLANES I CANNOT BELIEVE I COULDN'T GUess that last tip. Watch this woman's music menswear video from back in the day it's awesome!
Yes, Karen shopping in men's dept. Brillant!
Love all the fall hacks…and am 100% with you on the loooong coats making one feel totally bad ass!
So excited for fall weather to wear my velvet jewel blue jacket 😍💙
As an Australian none of this is useful to me right now as we’re going into Spring but I often refer to your videos about Fall/Winter dressing because I’m not great at it because it’s only cold for a short time here.
You’ve taught me how to Winterise my Summer wardrobe which has made me feel stylish all year round by layering under and over my Summer dresses. I’ve now started looking for coloured pieces I can wear in Summer and add a matching colour coat/jacket in Winter.
My own thing is coats. I have a few colorful ones that scream hi I’m doing the most with this loud color 🤩
Thank you so much, such a passion! It’s like going to church. Great ideas.
Hope you are OK during the flooding. I love fall too. Hugs, Donna 🍸
MENS DEPARTMENT!!! Mens blazers are the best thing that ever happened to my wardrobe!)) There is one oversized blazer I've got at Goodwill for $5.99, it kinda looks like Balenciaga to me, I ALWAYS get compliments on this blazer or a look in general. Best purchase ever))
My tip for buying real leather trousers and skirts, buy them snug. I didn’t know, when I bought my first item, how much it stretches over time. I wouldn’t go down a full size, because we tend to gain weight with age and these are forever items, but if in-between, buy the snugger fit.
I'd never considered shopping Mens department before I watched Karen's videos... now, my best knitwear pieces (at a lower price point end) have been from the mens section. I tend to go for more 'skinny fit' type pieces if you don't want oversized and I promise, no one has ever guessed it was Mens before I told them. Thank you Karen x
I totally agree with you about Coat lengths especially because I'm 5'9 and want a long, dramatic coat for winter.... I think I'll be making my way to the men's department from now on 😃 Thankyou for sharing your Tips. 🙏
Hi Karen , I just love your excitement about clothes it really makes me think about what I have in my wardrobe !! This is my favourite time of year and love changing up my looks ! Thanks for your enthusiasm! Xx
OMG! Brilliant! I loved all the recommendations and your energy is infectious!!!!!
Because of you, I am wearing a silk emerald green skirt and a purple top with gold detailing. You make one want to play in their wardrobe all the time. #MixAndMatch You are genius, passionate, authentic and oh! so stylish. 🌺🌺🌺
I love your excitement! :)
right Karen... you have inspired me today. I'm 41 and I think it's time for me to sort out my wardrobe and get some hats. I always think i'd like one or two, but never have any. i'm going shopping! :)
Amazing video!!! Watching it during this beautiful early fall morning on a day off, and I feel incredibly inspired to style some beautiful pieces that I already own and buy the pieces I’ve already started saying for. Your style reminds me of my own! Thank you again for another fashionable video!!! 🤗🤗
I used to love fashion and wearing what I wanted, and then I slowly fell out of it. Now I'm almost 30 and I feel like I don't know who I am anymore fashion-wise. (Side note: it makes that "what not to wear" show make sense to me now a bit - I wonder how many other women find themselves in a slump following various periods of transition or who just fell out of it like me...)
But I have to say, you, (your passion, and the kind of "fuck it, do what makes you happy" attitude you radiate) are making me so happy and excited about fashion for the first time in a long time. I'm so sick of being around people who judge people for making bold, personal, unique fashion choices, and I'm sick of thinking about others when I look at clothes.
Thanks for the tips to help me rock it, and for the energy to encourage me to just go for it anyway. What fun is there in fashion if you have to be afraid of making mistakes??
SO glad I stumbled across your channel
I am a man and I watch your videos also I usually apply what you’re saying to my wardrobe but it would be nice for you to include us once in a while
Can't wait for fall, I'm dying to wear cooler weather outfits. So many more options! Girl, you have the best energy. I bet you're a blast to shop with!
that hair that necklace and that shirt...beauty overload😍 love and kisses from italy❤️🇮🇹 love you so so much Karen💃🏻
