My advice to not only Audrey but anyone reading this: wait a year. No joke. Sometimes we feel like we want a trending item soley because our eye got so used to seeing it (through fashion videos, instagram, pinterest, you name it) we perceive it as pretty and wish to integrate it in our wardrobe. However, this can change into "I've seen enough of it and I'm tired of it". This then often causes a massive wardrobe declutter and contributed to unnessecary consumption. If you still love it in a year however, go for it. Had the same experience with loafers. They came in style as trending a few years ago (like 2?) and I thought it looked great. Got my first pair this year however and I do not regret it. However I am glad I didn't go for the sweater vest when it was trending last year because now I am so not into that look compared to last year when I was literally searching for the "perfect one".
Love this advice. I've been trying this recently. When getting something I have never owned before.. a certain shoe, a top, a coat I tend to go for second hand items. I can test it. If I like it, then I'm happy to look into getting an investment piece that will last for years.
Agree, by the time a trend is saturated in social media, Im out. The fall trends that have never gone out of style are leather and animal print . They may skip a season but it always always comes back.
Yes, the leather trenchcoat is going to be pricey and I do not think that look is going to be "it" next season.The jeans would be a practical buy. Great advice.
I'm sure you can find lots of great pieces in your own closet. What I love to do sometimes is to take inspiration from Pinterest for example then go to my closet and create an outfit inspired by a look I saw on Pinterest. It's fun, makes you be creative and think outside the box and the results are amazing!!
I've been gifted a leather trench coat by my grandma who had it for over 50 years! I cleaned and conditioned it and it looks like brand new! Vintage clothing have so much durability, especially leather
@@clarepugh1299 I meant no disrespect and was certainly not bullying anyone. I was merely informing Irina that Audrey is very talented and beautiful in many ways.
Me and my mom far prefer our autumn wardrobe to the summer one, as we have a better selection for that season and are good at dressing for cooler weather and are looking forward to the cold
Your selection of images to support your commentary are so outstanding and inclusive. I appreciate the variety of age, race, and size images. Thank you!
Love hearing your thought process on this. A word of caution about 30-35" long pencil skirts: they look elegant when you're standing up but they're a bear to walk and sit in. Forget climbing steps. I have three long pencil skirts that beautifully evoke the 1930s - three, acquired over time, because I kept forgetting why I didn't wear the older ones. I almost never wear them because they're so restrictive. If you buy an ultralong pencil skirt without the chance to try it on first, I recommend versions with a long slit or a cluster of kick pleats. They'd provide at least some space for normal movement.
Agreed. I had one pair a few years ago. I got a lot of compliments wearing it. People told me I looked taller and very elegant. But it was not comfortable sitting and I couldn't walk fast. When I tried to go upstairs, I had to lift the skirt above my knees to do that..... I donated it after a few months.
Your enthusiasm for your outfits has inspired me to enjoy dressing up again. I got into a bad habit of just wanting to "blend in" with stretchy athleisure for the past few years, but that's not really me. I feel so much more confident when I'm wearing clothes that make me look/feel chic. Thank you!
I enjoy traveling to other countries where people still dress up. You will rarely see women in athleisure outside of the gym in European countries, they always look so feminine and classy.
I never stopped wearing wide legged pants. The skinny pants phase didn’t work for me, as many trends don’t. So I wear what looks best on me. Finding wide legged pants was challenging in the past few years so I did look to vintage and thrift sources. Glad I’ll be able to find a new pair now. My wish list also includes a perfect pair of tall boots in a perfect shade of tan, chunkier heel, but nothing extreme.
I experienced the opposite of you - I tried a couple wide leg pants as they've come into trend recently, but had to go back to my skinnies. The wide leg just didn't compliment my body! Here's to forgoing trends and wearing silhouettes we like!
Just a thought on the black skirt regarding comfort and a slim but easy fit. Consider high quality knitwear. I just added a black "sweater" merino wool pencil skirt to my wardrobe in the proportion you describe. Because it's knit, it moves with my body. It's heavy enough so that it drapes well and doesn't ride up or bunch. I'll probably mostly wear it casually with loose fitting sweaters, but I could definately dress it up.
Hi Audrey, your video helped me in an unexpected way. Although I love leather jackets and riding boots etc. I've realised that I can't wear those items because it doesn't fit into my lifestyle at all. I feel good that I have acknowledged that I love the look of those things, but that doesn't mean I need to own them. I'm embracing minimalism more and more, and instead of feeling loss that I should or shouldn't own certain beautiful things, I'm feeling acceptance after watching your video.
I love how thoughtful you are about your wardrobe! My top wish list item for autumn is a white shirt with a ruffle collar that I can layer under sweaters. I’ve tried a few, but am having trouble finding something that isn’t too fussy and that doesn’t add too much bulk, especially in the arms. It’s starting to feel like a real quest!
Hi Audrey, I hope that you don't mind me mentioning this, but the shoe type that you are pronouncing Derby is pronounced Darby. It's named after a UK town and shire in the pennines. I know, we Brits are just weird the way we mangle the pronounciation of place names. Worcestershire sauce is pronounced Wooster sauce for example!
Brown is a color that I'm seeing a lot of for this upcoming fall season, so I'm starting to lean into that some and have added a pair of brown pants to my wish list! I'm also thinking about adding another jacket, but I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of style I want... Thanks for sharing your wish list items with us, Audrey! 😊
What a fun video, sharing what you are on the lookout for. Good point about the jeans and just saving them until they come around again. I never wore skinny jeans. I thought they looked odd on women unless they were only 15 years old and under 68 lbs. And I so admire your patience in waiting years for certain items. Just wow! I decided I wanted a trench coat this year, in that beautiful cinnamon color that is so popular. I spent about an hour online searching all the sites I could think of. The closest I could get was one from Nordstroms that was too long. Well, okay, I can have it tailored if I want, but the much bigger problem was sizing. I am so unhappy that many, many manufacturers are making clothing that they claim fits two sizes, like 8-10, or 12-14. Now, the vast majority of us are ONE size, and I could not find one trench coat that was listed with single sizes. The advertised medium would be too small, the advertised large would be too big. I ordered it anyway, it has yet to arrive. We'll see what happens when it gets here. Do you have this same problem?
These have been on my wish list for 1-2 years, so I'm seriously considering investing in them this time around: quality ponte knit pants in a very matte black fabric (I'm eyeing the Emerson Fry version), because these would be easy to style in fall and winter with a variety of shoes and oversize sweaters; high-waist jeans in a straight, slightly narrow leg and in a darker color with minimal detailing, and a minimal black split-neck polo/ collared sweater in a light fabric, either a very light wool or a medium-weight cotton (something I can comfortable tuck in and wear loose). Wishing everyone else luck on their wish list items!
I like Banana Republic's sloan pants and picked up a pair of their sloan leggings after seeing them on Audrey and they're a great ponte pant. I definitely recommend checking out Everlane for their cheeky jeans and polo sweaters. I also recently bought a pair of Madewell's perfect vintage jeans after all the rave reviews and they are a really nice slightly looser/straighter silhouette without being too big.
@@AlaraHoop I am not surprised that fans of Audrey Coyne offer equally good advice. Thank you! I will check out the BR ponte pant right now! This won't make fall set in earlier, but it gives me hope
Thank you so much, this was really helpful! I've been having a hard time with my fashions since I'm still in my early teens, so I'm a bit lost on what I should wear and what suits me. If I dress to basic and childish, it makes me feel horrible, but at the same time I cam't dress like too much of an adult with a lot of blazers and those type of stuff. I also don't have a huge selection of clothing and I find it hard to choose and buy pieces, because I'm still unsure of what I actually want. I also don't use my own money to buy clothes yet, so I can't get everything that I want and I have to really think about things before buying them. I'm also still growing so I wear through my things really quickly.
Try resale shops in good neighborhoods. Even my local Goodwill has yielded a perfect black Tahari blazer, several pairs of boots, even a mudcloth patterned tote I used as briefcase for years. Go with an open mind and go often. You'd be amazed what you can find - and at those prices, if you make a mistake in a choice, it's no big deal.
For me the leather trench is too reminiscent of the Matrix Movies/the 90's and will never lose that association. I would get sick of it or feel limited by it. The comment by Sasha is good-- to wait a year and see if you still want it. This is a bit extreme but Crocs came out when I was 10 or 11 years old and I absolutely did not want to wear them because I've always hated following the crowd/trends. In college, 10 years later, I bought my first pair (definitely not in style then) and fell in love with their comfort. My friends said they knew it was me from a 1/4 mile away bc they could see my maroon shoes... Now they're back in style💁♀
Great video! I'm so happy for the wider leg Silhouettes and jeans and pants these days. They are so much more comfortable in my opinion than skinny jeans. A few years ago I picked up my first trench coat in a silvery gray color that was water repellent. I was surprised how much I wore it. Then two years ago I thrifted a black one that was okay but not perfect and I only wore it for a year but I did get good use out of it instead of wearing a raincoat. This summer I thrifted a burgundy one and it's absolutely perfect for my body shape, coloring and height. It's such a joy to find that perfect piece that you can wear with confidence for many years to come. It's worth the search
🤩 Envious of your growing trench collection. 😉 Excellent observation about them. They're definitely not all water💧repellent. Got two wrap style trench coats from The Limited back in the 90s in navy & black that are perfect for my hourglass shape. They're lightweight enough that I can wear them almost year round 🔄. They still get mad compliments today. Neither are great in the rain🌧 , but luckily I live where that's not a big issue. Plus, there's always an umbrella☔️. Was handed down two truly stunning ❄️ Winter weight trench coats〰️a long double breasted black Burberry & a vintage charcoal gray suede. They're so heavy (even without liners) that I can only wear a few times a year (unless 🧳traveling). 💯% worth the closet space. Always on the 👀look out for another at local thrift shops, but something more suitable for my hot climate 🏜 & hot flashes🥵 . 🤫Would adore one in burgandy🍷 , Barbie pink💗, or olive green🫒 . 💚Bridget from Cali ☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Love that you shared your wish list. My first step was to write my wish list in a journal, next was research. My 2022 list included Fair Isle type sweaters, a signature perfume, diamond tennis bracelet( paying down interest free) and one item still to come... the LePliage tote possibly in 2023.
One purchase for fall that I recently made is a pair of vegan leather pants in brown. They have a straight leg, which I love. I wore them yesterday with a cream coloured soutache blouse, as I attended a group reception for an art show I participated in. Got lots of compliments but even more important, I was comfortable.
Audrey, for the chunky derby-style shoe, I highly recommend the Solovair Gibson shoe (which I think is featured in one or two of your inspo photos)! I bought a pair myself this year and have been completely blown away. Incredible construction, classic design that isn't too delicate, and they are wonderfully comfortable to boot. And they're Goodyear welted, so resoleable!
@@kimmaguire3621 I'm Canadian and just heard of this boutique! Thank you ❤️ It has great prices and styles. Are there other local shoe stores you'd recommend?
I went to check the shoe and ooh my I found a green one...Love the green color so much.. Christmas idea gift to myself...What do you think about the size are they TTS? Thanks.
I got inspired! A leather blazer is on my list, I picture it with mini skirts or flowy dresses and tights... Last year I fund the perfect high boots, just how you described them. I am looking forward to wearing them again!
The high waisted and wide leg pants and jeans are awesome...not only classy and flowing, but a very welcome change up from the tight skinny jean of the past ten or so years. I was so happy to see that the newer pants and jeans don't have to drag the floor, as I am 5ft 11 in. tall and cannot ever find them long enough. Now I don't have to search for days to find a long length as the shorter style look current now. Shoes are a problem because stores don't stock size 11s much so I have to take what I can find in that department. I'm not into trenchcoats but recently found a beautiful white one in a thrift shop last month that I love. Thanks for these fun videos😊
I love hearing your thoughts but wow I absolutely hate those jeans. I’ve recently started wearing slim-bootcut jeans again despite them being “out of style”and they really are the right fit/cut for me. I just bought a tweed mauve/cranberry tweed pencil skirt from PM, nwot, for $10, and it’s incredible. I love the hunt for the “right” wardrobe piece for sure!!
I'm totally with you on the jeans! I mentally said "ugh" when those came up first in this video; but hey, to each their own. Personally, I really feel/look sloppy and totally NOT classy in anything baggy, but especially jeans. My "classic" body type requires a bit of sleekness, as you'd get from the slimmer bootcut jeans or tweed skirts you mentioned. I'll have to look up "PM."
@@Julia29853 💐 That sorta thing is tricky for me too, esp. when you also consider the added dilemna of shoes. Although nude or skin toned sandals or slings would work. 😉I'm more confident in matchy match color mode, but am attempting to try monochromatic. Also prefer more of a continuous column ↕️ of vertical color〰️ believing that it elongates my frame〰️but I do make exceptions. 🤔If your skirt is a mauve/cranberry tweed, see if you can match one of the color ways or "threads." If you go in the pink family, make sure the intensity of the tones in the top matches the bottom. For example, don't mix a warm (or dirty) pink tone with a cooler cranberry color tone. Otherwise, white, ecru, or dove gray would be a safe choice. I have this purple 💜 pencil skirt I love, but don't wear. 📺Recently, I saw a clip of Monica from Friends wearing a similar one. She paired it with a lilac tee that had purple writing on it, & also lilac sneakers. That inspired me try my lavendar knit vest over a white tee with my purple skirt. Liked that combo paired with classic white leather sneakers as a casual outfit. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Thank you. I can feel the Italian vibe. My wish list is to get my colors/tones/shades right. I don't think I could wear a leather trench but the one in my closet.( not leather).well I will haul it out and start wearing it again. Love the tips and tricks.
You might really like "The Office of Angela Scott" derbies ❤️. Something I've got on my list is a pair of faded black wash "boyfriend" jeans, looser straight fit and less saturated with color. Also, I managed to finally find (on Ebay!) the PERFECT ivory fisherman sweater that had been on my list for more than a year.
I already have baggy jeans, leather and knee high boots. The latter two are fall staples for me. My closet is full. I’m only filling gaps this year. And maybe getting one or two nice to haves. On my wish list is a paisley shirt or blouse containing colours that will work with bottoms I already have. I’m short of nice hoodies for wearing on walks. Since they’re often too long on me, I’ll be picking up a couple that end near the waist - short, not cropped, in navy or a lighter blue, and the highest quality I can find because I wear them so much. I have turtlenecks in many colours and a couple of well-worn ones need to be replaced. And I’m looking for a wider leather belt with an oval buckle in silver like I’ve seen on some of the fall runways. I usually buy belts secondhand but may splurge on a Sezane because I keep my belts forever. I don’t need shoes this year but I’m considering getting a pair of Fluevogs. I wear so many neutrals and classics so it would be fun to have a pair of statement shoes.
Great ideas. I’m looking for a great pair of red trousers. I never really gravitate towards red but when I see them styled they look so classy and versatile…The brand The Office of Angela Scott has INCREDIBLE shoes; possibly the chunky ones you’re looking for. I love those masculine styles as well. Thanks and happy hunting!
I have already found a few things on my wish list. I got a camel colored sweater coat. It's nicely structured and light enough to wear in the desert. I also got a black leather jacket. Not a belted moto, but a slightly shaped one. I also got some cute brown leather booties (Western). I found a nice camel dupe for a Bottega Venetta clutch bag. I also got a Valentino dupe belt. I got a new little black dress and some cute black mule type heels. I am feeling very lucky this year and blessed.
I always have a running list. At the top was a pair of cute sneakers and black Minnetonka Thunderbird moccasins which I just purchased over the weekend. Next up, cardigans and blazers. Thrift stores, here I come!
I’m going from full business wear to super casual. Beige rain boots, red & blk plaid shirt for fall/winter. Would like a few casual fall dresses. But I’ll ok without it. I’m going to work all my sweaters and winter tops in with jeans this year.
So happy to watch a new video from you ❤ Thank you for always making such amazing and inspiring content. Sending you and everyone who sees this lots of love ❤
Your taste runs parallel with my own, so I appreciate how you add more style dimension to the classic wardrobe. I agree about the shoes. Something a little edgier can really elevate an otherwise lady like look!
I love loafers but it can down to PRADA's and the matching handbag along with 3 pair of Bass Weejuns in the classic style of Wine, Whiskey and Black. I also bought some EILEEN FISHER knit booties: London and Dahlia, more high heels and block heels. I already have everything else.
I’m on a hunt for warm jacket that is slightly oversized and has shirt kind of cut. I also want to find a collarless long coat that’s made out of nylon with padding. I already have wool and cashmere coats, so will be nice to have something else for rainy weather. I think I’ve already found some options, but will need to order them to try on and find the right size. Online shopping is a bumpy road. Also, it’s a bit harder for me because of my size. I’m very petite and have to shop at kids section, my usual fit is anything that’s sized between 10 and 12 years old (or between 140 and 152 cm height).
On my wish list is a pair of wool charcoal gray trousers. I found a pair from Ralph Lauren, but the price point is out of my reach. I will continue my search. I purchased a pair of relaxed slim ankle jeans from Banana Republic last fall that I absolutely love. I am petite and they do offer petite sizes. I will have these for a long time in my wardrobe. As always, I enjoy your videos and fashion inspiration.
I’ve leaned into the wide-legged trouser look….already have a pair of khaki twill pleated o es I can wear now, and just ordered a pair of black stretch wool ones for when it gets chillier.
So about the shoes. I bought a pair of Solovair shoes like the one you have on your wishlist, and I absolutely love them. Exactly for what you were saying - they are a bit more masculine (in fact it's a unisex model), bit chunkier but still have that classic polished looked. Bought them roughly 1,5 year ago and for now it has been my most worn shoe, super comfortable, super practical, and fits with both dresses and pants, love them. When it comes to the leather trenchoat tho... I mean, it looks amazing, trendy and all, but it's one of those trends I am afraid will go away. It's very 90s. So I would think about it a bit more, it's quite an expensive piece, are people really gonna wear them ones they won't be on trend?
My wihslist items are: pink like rasberry wool cardigan from United Colors of Benetton, baby blue sweater (light wool but preferably cotton), beige leather ankle boots, navy sweater or cardigan, maybe with cashmere and some longsleeve and shortsleeve tops in cream, white, navy and baby blue. And maybe the perfect pair of navy trousers that are not jeans and are a little bit more dressed up but can be also worn with my sneakers
Audrey, I was nodding my head constantly throughout this video, lol! We are on the same page, that’s for sure. If you find a pair of tall boots that you think are perfect, please let us know!! I am looking too. I have a pair of Doc Martens T-strap Mary Janes that are my perfect “classic but chunkier” shoes. And I’ve been wearing my oval sunnies for years, and love them to bits, so it’s very encouraging to hear that you are craving some…I trust your fashion sense implicitly! Thanks for another great video!👏
I'm excited for the shoe trends this fall partly because I already own a lot of things that fit. I have a pair of men's Wolverine 1000 miler boots and a pair of Redwing Iron Rangers--I also have a number of oxfords including a pair of grey Sorel oxfords with a chunkier sole so altogether that helps me hit the chunky menswear inspired style without going full on trendy platform boot/shoes. I'm usually a skinny pant/jean person but I have been leaning into the slightly looser silhouette this fall. I already had a pair of Everlane cheeky jeans and added a pair of madewell perfect vintage jeans. This lets me change up the silhouettes of my outfits without again leaning too hard into wide leg styles that I don't like on myself. I already had a couple of pairs of looser trousers including Banana Republic joggers and pleated plaid pants. I'm expanding my fall color palette to include more grey and taupe that I can carry into spring. I've purchased 2 blazers (a Ralph Lauren herringbone and a Theory that has shots of color subtly woven in), 2 pairs of jeans, 2 purses and a pair of adidas sneakers. I'm still on the hunt for more perfectly taupe pieces.
Bootcut black pants and straight-leg jeans are on my list. I am also saving for a pair of slip-on Gucci shoes. I live in Florida so I will be able to use it for all seasons.
I actually have colors that are missing from my wardrobe. This year I want to add more chocolate and rich camel. I own many black pieces and I think both colors will pair beautifully. I own 3 silk skirts in classy, muted prints. I am contemplating adding one or two more in solid colors to wear with beautiful chunky sweaters this season. Additionally, I am looking to add chunky, mid-heeled pumps. Unsure of my color choices at this point. I so enjoy your videos as they always inspire me to purchase quality, timeless pieces that I can enjoy for seasons to come!💞
Definitely check out Everlane's Pima cotton--so comfortable. I also like Madewell's tissue weight turtleneck for layering and I have some mock neck tees from them as well.
If and when you find these pieces, would love to know where you purchased. I’m looking for similar items and especially for the clothes, they’re hard to find being 5’2”.
Interestingly enough I have found all my wish-list pieces while I was thrifting throughout the summer months: Fitted Camel Wool blazer (I found a Ralph Lauren one for $1,99 🤩) Dark Wash Denim Jacket (Ralph Lauren Sport for 9,99) Black Chelsea Booties (New from Clarks $40 - sale) Navy Cotton Raglan Sleeve Sweater (Vineyard Vines $14,99) That sums it up… oh and I am on a hunt for a nice (real) leather black jacket…
Check thrift stores or goodwill type stores for a good leather jacket at a good price. I found a designer one for less than $50. I like the weathered look, but if you don't, you can' always take it to a cobbler or cleaners that specializes in leather work and have it redyed and buffed up. It will look like new.
I love your idea of what kind of jeans to get. I'm on the hunt for exactly that too. When you find your ideal pair please let us know will you purchase them or give us links for ideas thanks so much
I am planning my trip wardrobe to the UK and Ireland in mid October. I have two slim turtlenecks and my black cashmere pullover and my longer Heather cashmere cardi. I got a black trench at M&S online. It is lovely and well made. It is knee length and I had a shorter light beige trench but it was shorter than I wanted for fall. I did baggy jeans in my past so not for me. Too 80’s. Good idea about the shoes. I can’t do fun sunnies as I need my prescription. I have my Maui Jim’s with prescription and they are too cool. So I have my limits. Liked the video! As always.
I’m also on the hunt for a trench. It’s been going on for years. The typical tan doesn’t work with my coloring (undertone mismatch) plus I’m short so I don’t want to drown in fabric. I’m also on the hunt for the perfect camel sweater and camel dress pants (similar issues) and a navy pinstripe button-down. I have an emerald sweater that needs to be retired so a replacement for that. Finally at the bottom of my list is a quilted vest that doesn’t add bulk, in either black or olive.
I love making wish lists. I am sort of deciding to go through the rest of the year on a no buy. I have had covid and am suffering from long covid so just going out and shopping is overdoing it. My lifestyle has changed so I have to think about that.
I like to buy a bit of baggy jeans, chunky shoes as well ;) I do have structured jackets , long skinny skirt and a well fitted raincoat in my closet. Thank you for your well presented video!
Hi Audrey, I love your videos! I'm looking for ankle boots with a med. stacked heel in a dark green or olive color. The scarf you're wearing knotted like a head band looks great! Im gonna try that to bring fall color into my late summer looks. Thanks!
Thursday boots have an ankle boot, the Duchess, in an olive color that I’m still in love with after four years. They are moderately priced for the quality of the boots.
I really only have two items on my AW 22/23 wishlist- that's a pair of tall, oversized/"loose shaft" riding boots... one in black & one in either cognac or oxblood/burgundy leather. Unfortunately I have struck out twice, trying to order them online- it's difficult to tell how something is going to fit my calf, as my build is essentially the antithesis of the ladies modeling the boots, online. 😕 But trying to buy anything in person at department stores or boutiques has been VERY difficult, in my area... little-to-no stock is being carried on site.
Maybe because I am an older Gen Z, but there will always be trends that make me shudder when I look at them, namely the small oval glasses + leather trench coats (even wearing them separately), and anything resembling the 2000s in shapes and colors. i also had an embarrassing experience where I tried on the oval glasses in a mall, and my sister loudly claiming I looked blind - back then any “functional-only” glasses did not have any interesting or fashionable shapes to them. I always needed glasses even when I was a young kid. So you can imagine how mortified i was as a kid. “Oh no will this be me one day” and “oh no I am mocking actually blind ppl” were all I could think of while I held back tears. Oh, children could be so cruel 😅
Thank you for the video -- I'm interested in some of the looks but will not be buying the long oversized pants that drag on the ground. That trend will absolutely be out in one season.
I'm looking for a blue pair of Doc Martens for winter. I want them for a long time, but the, are so pricy and not easy to find second hand and in a good condition. Maybe I've luck this autumn😉
Is it still considered a wishlist item if I've already bought it? I'll list them anyway! Jewel-toned cashmere sweaters Neutral turtleneck with beautiful detail Casual leather purse Sleek pair of black boots Classic sunglasses in black and tortoise shell I'd say I'm sartorially solid for fall and winter 2022 😁
I struggle to find a great trench also. I've thrifted several leather trenches but ended up donating because they just didn't fit quite right. I'm 5'3 petite, slender and I can't get away w oversized looks, everything swamps me.. but I'm not giving up! I love long skirts, agree w the timeless pieces . I am looking for good loafers but not super chunky.. I don't like heavy shoes.
American Eagle, Madewell, and Everlane all make good jeans that are relatively affordable. Once you have a good idea of size you can pick some up secondhand as well to reduce price. My other jeans are all designer (rag & bone, hudson)--they're quite a bit more expensive but I do love that I could wear them for days and they won't bag out and look weird.
can boots or shoes still be great if they are not Goodyear welted? I want a new pair of chelseas (in black) from thursday's boots but they are not Goodyear welted. does this mean i am wasting my coins?
Absolutely! I have some that aren’t Goodyear welted and I have a pair of Thursday boots that are amazing! For me, the key has been to take extra care of them so they don’t wear out as fast :) there are so many times when I can’t afford the Goodyear welted boots but finding all the other points for good construction makes them perfect ❤️
It helps if you have more shoes to rotate. Some of my shoes that I wore multiple times per week have worn out in a season or a pair of Sorel boots I loved in 2 years. If you can rotate between more than one pair that helps them last longer. I do think goodyear welt boots are worth it but I definitely understand that's not always an option.
My advice to not only Audrey but anyone reading this: wait a year. No joke. Sometimes we feel like we want a trending item soley because our eye got so used to seeing it (through fashion videos, instagram, pinterest, you name it) we perceive it as pretty and wish to integrate it in our wardrobe. However, this can change into "I've seen enough of it and I'm tired of it". This then often causes a massive wardrobe declutter and contributed to unnessecary consumption. If you still love it in a year however, go for it. Had the same experience with loafers. They came in style as trending a few years ago (like 2?) and I thought it looked great. Got my first pair this year however and I do not regret it. However I am glad I didn't go for the sweater vest when it was trending last year because now I am so not into that look compared to last year when I was literally searching for the "perfect one".
Love this advice. I've been trying this recently. When getting something I have never owned before.. a certain shoe, a top, a coat I tend to go for second hand items. I can test it. If I like it, then I'm happy to look into getting an investment piece that will last for years.
Agree 💯
Agree, by the time a trend is saturated in social media, Im out. The fall trends that have never gone out of style are leather and animal print . They may skip a season but it always always comes back.
Yes, the leather trenchcoat is going to be pricey and I do not think that look is going to be "it" next season.The jeans would be a practical buy. Great advice.
I'm sure you can find lots of great pieces in your own closet. What I love to do sometimes is to take inspiration from Pinterest for example then go to my closet and create an outfit inspired by a look I saw on Pinterest. It's fun, makes you be creative and think outside the box and the results are amazing!!
I've been gifted a leather trench coat by my grandma who had it for over 50 years! I cleaned and conditioned it and it looks like brand new! Vintage clothing have so much durability, especially leather

She's a trained opera singer with a beautiful voice.
Being a virtual bully is so embarrassing lol
@@clarepugh1299 I meant no disrespect and was certainly not bullying anyone. I was merely informing Irina that Audrey is very talented and beautiful in many ways.
Agree❤
@@hiiii__byyyeeee5490 I just can listen to her and her voice is relaxing me after stressful day.
Me and my mom far prefer our autumn wardrobe to the summer one, as we have a better selection for that season and are good at dressing for cooler weather and are looking forward to the cold
Your selection of images to support your commentary are so outstanding and inclusive. I appreciate the variety of age, race, and size images. Thank you!
Love hearing your thought process on this. A word of caution about 30-35" long pencil skirts: they look elegant when you're standing up but they're a bear to walk and sit in. Forget climbing steps. I have three long pencil skirts that beautifully evoke the 1930s - three, acquired over time, because I kept forgetting why I didn't wear the older ones. I almost never wear them because they're so restrictive. If you buy an ultralong pencil skirt without the chance to try it on first, I recommend versions with a long slit or a cluster of kick pleats. They'd provide at least some space for normal movement.
Sone very good points made here!! 👍 Thanks.
Thats one of the key reasons I have eliminated them from my wardrobe. Give me an A line or flared skirt any day!!
Agreed. I had one pair a few years ago. I got a lot of compliments wearing it. People told me I looked taller and very elegant. But it was not comfortable sitting and I couldn't walk fast. When I tried to go upstairs, I had to lift the skirt above my knees to do that..... I donated it after a few months.
Getting in and out of a car was a bear for me. Ripped one in the process.
I 100% agree with some element to add a bit more room for functionality!
Your enthusiasm for your outfits has inspired me to enjoy dressing up again. I got into a bad habit of just wanting to "blend in" with stretchy athleisure for the past few years, but that's not really me. I feel so much more confident when I'm wearing clothes that make me look/feel chic. Thank you!
Same!
I'm with you. I love dressing nicely. We live in a pretty rural place but I dress in something I enjoy every time I go to lunch, meetings, or church.
Same! Thank you! I needed it so much after the lockdown.
I enjoy traveling to other countries where people still dress up. You will rarely see women in athleisure outside of the gym in European countries, they always look so feminine and classy.

I never stopped wearing wide legged pants. The skinny pants phase didn’t work for me, as many trends don’t. So I wear what looks best on me.
Finding wide legged pants was challenging in the past few years so I did look to vintage and thrift sources.
Glad I’ll be able to find a new pair now. My wish list also includes a perfect pair of tall boots in a perfect shade of tan, chunkier heel, but nothing extreme.
Same! As someone tall with long legs and a pear shape, wide leg, boot cut, and even straight leg pants suit me better than tapered or skinny pants.
I experienced the opposite of you - I tried a couple wide leg pants as they've come into trend recently, but had to go back to my skinnies. The wide leg just didn't compliment my body! Here's to forgoing trends and wearing silhouettes we like!
Wide leg pants are definitely my favourite, they are definitely comfortable and stylish
Just a thought on the black skirt regarding comfort and a slim but easy fit. Consider high quality knitwear. I just added a black "sweater" merino wool pencil skirt to my wardrobe in the proportion you describe. Because it's knit, it moves with my body. It's heavy enough so that it drapes well and doesn't ride up or bunch. I'll probably mostly wear it casually with loose fitting sweaters, but I could definately dress it up.
Hi Audrey, your video helped me in an unexpected way. Although I love leather jackets and riding boots etc. I've realised that I can't wear those items because it doesn't fit into my lifestyle at all. I feel good that I have acknowledged that I love the look of those things, but that doesn't mean I need to own them. I'm embracing minimalism more and more, and instead of feeling loss that I should or shouldn't own certain beautiful things, I'm feeling acceptance after watching your video.
I love how thoughtful you are about your wardrobe! My top wish list item for autumn is a white shirt with a ruffle collar that I can layer under sweaters. I’ve tried a few, but am having trouble finding something that isn’t too fussy and that doesn’t add too much bulk, especially in the arms. It’s starting to feel like a real quest!
True it’s hard to find great white shirt
Good job in adding trends so carefully. It's very sustainable - you set a good example.
@Audrey Coyne ~ Your voice sounds exceptionally soothing in this video. I haven’t heard it this calm in awhile. Makes all the difference. 💗
Hi Audrey, I hope that you don't mind me mentioning this, but the shoe type that you are pronouncing Derby is pronounced Darby. It's named after a UK town and shire in the pennines. I know, we Brits are just weird the way we mangle the pronounciation of place names. Worcestershire sauce is pronounced Wooster sauce for example!
Brown is a color that I'm seeing a lot of for this upcoming fall season, so I'm starting to lean into that some and have added a pair of brown pants to my wish list! I'm also thinking about adding another jacket, but I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of style I want... Thanks for sharing your wish list items with us, Audrey! 😊
I recently found a cool brown leather pants and I am obsessed, this year I am seeing a lot of brown
I'd love to see you try some of these edgier pieces. They'd give your wardrobe a super charge.
What a fun video, sharing what you are on the lookout for. Good point about the jeans and just saving them until they come around again. I never wore skinny jeans. I thought they looked odd on women unless they were only 15 years old and under 68 lbs. And I so admire your patience in waiting years for certain items. Just wow! I decided I wanted a trench coat this year, in that beautiful cinnamon color that is so popular. I spent about an hour online searching all the sites I could think of. The closest I could get was one from Nordstroms that was too long. Well, okay, I can have it tailored if I want, but the much bigger problem was sizing. I am so unhappy that many, many manufacturers are making clothing that they claim fits two sizes, like 8-10, or 12-14. Now, the vast majority of us are ONE size, and I could not find one trench coat that was listed with single sizes. The advertised medium would be too small, the advertised large would be too big. I ordered it anyway, it has yet to arrive. We'll see what happens when it gets here. Do you have this same problem?
Dear Frances Black Leather saddle boots. I absolutely love them. They are a timeless investment piece.
These have been on my wish list for 1-2 years, so I'm seriously considering investing in them this time around: quality ponte knit pants in a very matte black fabric (I'm eyeing the Emerson Fry version), because these would be easy to style in fall and winter with a variety of shoes and oversize sweaters; high-waist jeans in a straight, slightly narrow leg and in a darker color with minimal detailing, and a minimal black split-neck polo/ collared sweater in a light fabric, either a very light wool or a medium-weight cotton (something I can comfortable tuck in and wear loose). Wishing everyone else luck on their wish list items!
I like Banana Republic's sloan pants and picked up a pair of their sloan leggings after seeing them on Audrey and they're a great ponte pant. I definitely recommend checking out Everlane for their cheeky jeans and polo sweaters. I also recently bought a pair of Madewell's perfect vintage jeans after all the rave reviews and they are a really nice slightly looser/straighter silhouette without being too big.
@@AlaraHoop I am not surprised that fans of Audrey Coyne offer equally good advice. Thank you! I will check out the BR ponte pant right now! This won't make fall set in earlier, but it gives me hope
Thank you so much Audrey for sharing your wishlist!
Love from France 🇫🇷

Thank you so much, this was really helpful! I've been having a hard time with my fashions since I'm still in my early teens, so I'm a bit lost on what I should wear and what suits me. If I dress to basic and childish, it makes me feel horrible, but at the same time I cam't dress like too much of an adult with a lot of blazers and those type of stuff. I also don't have a huge selection of clothing and I find it hard to choose and buy pieces, because I'm still unsure of what I actually want. I also don't use my own money to buy clothes yet, so I can't get everything that I want and I have to really think about things before buying them. I'm also still growing so I wear through my things really quickly.
Try resale shops in good neighborhoods. Even my local Goodwill has yielded a perfect black Tahari blazer, several pairs of boots, even a mudcloth patterned tote I used as briefcase for years. Go with an open mind and go often. You'd be amazed what you can find - and at those prices, if you make a mistake in a choice, it's no big deal.
I appreciate you Audrey. Thank you for making these wonderful videos.
I bought a second hand leather trench coat last year and I love it so much for fall! Such a staple.
the dark brown leather jacket is GORGEOUS. I've been interested in wool jackets for fall/winter because I enjoy the structured shoulders
For me the leather trench is too reminiscent of the Matrix Movies/the 90's and will never lose that association. I would get sick of it or feel limited by it. The comment by Sasha is good-- to wait a year and see if you still want it. This is a bit extreme but Crocs came out when I was 10 or 11 years old and I absolutely did not want to wear them because I've always hated following the crowd/trends. In college, 10 years later, I bought my first pair (definitely not in style then) and fell in love with their comfort. My friends said they knew it was me from a 1/4 mile away bc they could see my maroon shoes... Now they're back in style💁♀
I need to make a wish list to keep me focused!
Great video! I'm so happy for the wider leg Silhouettes and jeans and pants these days. They are so much more comfortable in my opinion than skinny jeans. A few years ago I picked up my first trench coat in a silvery gray color that was water repellent. I was surprised how much I wore it. Then two years ago I thrifted a black one that was okay but not perfect and I only wore it for a year but I did get good use out of it instead of wearing a raincoat. This summer I thrifted a burgundy one and it's absolutely perfect for my body shape, coloring and height. It's such a joy to find that perfect piece that you can wear with confidence for many years to come. It's worth the search
🤩 Envious of your growing trench collection. 😉 Excellent observation about them. They're definitely not all water💧repellent. Got two wrap style trench coats from The Limited back in the 90s in navy & black that are perfect for my hourglass shape. They're lightweight enough that I can wear them almost year round 🔄. They still get mad compliments today. Neither are great in the rain🌧 , but luckily I live where that's not a big issue. Plus, there's always an umbrella☔️.
Was handed down two truly stunning ❄️ Winter weight trench coats〰️a long double breasted black Burberry & a vintage charcoal gray suede. They're so heavy (even without liners) that I can only wear a few times a year (unless 🧳traveling). 💯% worth the closet space.
Always on the 👀look out for another at local thrift shops, but something more suitable for my hot climate 🏜 & hot flashes🥵 .
🤫Would adore one in burgandy🍷 , Barbie pink💗, or olive green🫒 .

Love that you shared your wish list. My first step was to write my wish list in a journal, next was research. My 2022 list included Fair Isle type sweaters, a signature perfume, diamond tennis bracelet( paying down interest free) and one item still to come... the LePliage tote possibly in 2023.
Love your wishlist , I got a diamond vest tho , couldn’t find anything in skirt
One purchase for fall that I recently made is a pair of vegan leather pants in brown. They have a straight leg, which I love. I wore them yesterday with a cream coloured soutache blouse, as I attended a group reception for an art show I participated in. Got lots of compliments but even more important, I was comfortable.
I honestly love your voice. It's like the perfect level of ASMR.
Audrey, for the chunky derby-style shoe, I highly recommend the Solovair Gibson shoe (which I think is featured in one or two of your inspo photos)! I bought a pair myself this year and have been completely blown away. Incredible construction, classic design that isn't too delicate, and they are wonderfully comfortable to boot. And they're Goodyear welted, so resoleable!
I’m also on the hunt for this style for all the same reasons. Looking at Maguire Boutique here in Canada
Thank you so much! I’ll check right now :)
@@kimmaguire3621 I'm Canadian and just heard of this boutique! Thank you ❤️ It has great prices and styles. Are there other local shoe stores you'd recommend?
How do they compare to Doc Martens? They look like a dressier version of docs. Their monkey boot also looks super fun.
I went to check the shoe and ooh my I found a green one...Love the green color so much.. Christmas idea gift to myself...What do you think about the size are they TTS? Thanks.
I got inspired! A leather blazer is on my list, I picture it with mini skirts or flowy dresses and tights... Last year I fund the perfect high boots, just how you described them. I am looking forward to wearing them again!
The high waisted and wide leg pants and jeans are awesome...not only classy and flowing, but a very welcome change up from the tight skinny jean of the past ten or so years. I was so happy to see that the newer pants and jeans don't have to drag the floor, as I am 5ft 11 in. tall and cannot ever find them long enough. Now I don't have to search for days to find a long length as the shorter style look current now. Shoes are a problem because stores don't stock size 11s much so I have to take what I can find in that department. I'm not into trenchcoats but recently found a beautiful white one in a thrift shop last month that I love. Thanks for these fun videos😊
I already bought my wish list! The vivaia thigh high boots that I love! And a burgundy pencil skirt!
Please share your finds with us if and when you get them. The skirt you described sounds exactly like what is on my wishlist!
so inspirational
Happy Sunday, Audrey 🤍☀️I love trench coat
Happy Fall
I love hearing your thoughts but wow I absolutely hate those jeans. I’ve recently started wearing slim-bootcut jeans again despite them being “out of style”and they really are the right fit/cut for me. I just bought a tweed mauve/cranberry tweed pencil skirt from PM, nwot, for $10, and it’s incredible. I love the hunt for the “right” wardrobe piece for sure!!
I'm totally with you on the jeans! I mentally said "ugh" when those came up first in this video; but hey, to each their own. Personally, I really feel/look sloppy and totally NOT classy in anything baggy, but especially jeans. My "classic" body type requires a bit of sleekness, as you'd get from the slimmer bootcut jeans or tweed skirts you mentioned. I'll have to look up "PM."
@@matrig6 Poshmark! Sorry should have just spelled it out!
@@AreYouKittenMeRtNow Ah! Thanks so much!
@@Julia29853 💐 That sorta thing is tricky for me too, esp. when you also consider the added dilemna of shoes. Although nude or skin toned sandals or slings would work.
😉I'm more confident in matchy match color mode, but am attempting to try monochromatic.
Also prefer more of a continuous column ↕️ of vertical color〰️ believing that it elongates my frame〰️but I do make exceptions.
🤔If your skirt is a mauve/cranberry tweed, see if you can match one of the color ways or "threads." If you go in the pink family, make sure the intensity of the tones in the top matches the bottom. For example, don't mix a warm (or dirty) pink tone with a cooler cranberry color tone. Otherwise, white, ecru, or dove gray would be a safe choice.
I have this purple 💜 pencil skirt I love, but don't wear. 📺Recently, I saw a clip of Monica from Friends wearing a similar one. She paired it with a lilac tee that had purple writing on it, & also lilac sneakers. That inspired me try my lavendar knit vest over a white tee with my purple skirt. Liked that combo paired with classic white leather sneakers as a casual outfit.

Thank you. I can feel the Italian vibe. My wish list is to get my colors/tones/shades right. I don't think I could wear a leather trench but the one in my closet.( not leather).well I will haul it out and start wearing it again. Love the tips and tricks.
You might really like "The Office of Angela Scott" derbies ❤️.
Something I've got on my list is a pair of faded black wash "boyfriend" jeans, looser straight fit and less saturated with color. Also, I managed to finally find (on Ebay!) the PERFECT ivory fisherman sweater that had been on my list for more than a year.
I love your wish list and I cannot wait to see what you find!!XXOO
I already have baggy jeans, leather and knee high boots. The latter two are fall staples for me. My closet is full. I’m only filling gaps this year. And maybe getting one or two nice to haves.
On my wish list is a paisley shirt or blouse containing colours that will work with bottoms I already have.
I’m short of nice hoodies for wearing on walks. Since they’re often too long on me, I’ll be picking up a couple that end near the waist - short, not cropped, in navy or a lighter blue, and the highest quality I can find because I wear them so much.
I have turtlenecks in many colours and a couple of well-worn ones need to be replaced.
And I’m looking for a wider leather belt with an oval buckle in silver like I’ve seen on some of the fall runways. I usually buy belts secondhand but may splurge on a Sezane because I keep my belts forever.
I don’t need shoes this year but I’m considering getting a pair of Fluevogs. I wear so many neutrals and classics so it would be fun to have a pair of statement shoes.
Your beautiful leather jacket was a great find!
Your voice is so soothing like that cool breeze on a a hot summer day.
Great ideas. I’m looking for a great pair of red trousers. I never really gravitate towards red but when I see them styled they look so classy and versatile…The brand The Office of Angela Scott has INCREDIBLE shoes; possibly the chunky ones you’re looking for. I love those masculine styles as well.
Thanks and happy hunting!
I’m also looking for oval sunglasses- would love to see what pair you find Audrey! Love your videos as always ❤
I have already found a few things on my wish list. I got a camel colored sweater coat. It's nicely structured and light enough to wear in the desert. I also got a black leather jacket. Not a belted moto, but a slightly shaped one. I also got some cute brown leather booties (Western). I found a nice camel dupe for a Bottega Venetta clutch bag. I also got a Valentino dupe belt. I got a new little black dress and some cute black mule type heels. I am feeling very lucky this year and blessed.
I have been waiting for this Fall wardrobe video yaaay 🙌🙌
I always have a running list. At the top was a pair of cute sneakers and black Minnetonka Thunderbird moccasins which I just purchased over the weekend. Next up, cardigans and blazers. Thrift stores, here I come!
I’m going from full business wear to super casual. Beige rain boots, red & blk plaid shirt for fall/winter. Would like a few casual fall dresses. But I’ll ok without it. I’m going to work all my sweaters and winter tops in with jeans this year.
So happy to watch a new video from you ❤ Thank you for always making such amazing and inspiring content. Sending you and everyone who sees this lots of love ❤
Your taste runs parallel with my own, so I appreciate how you add more style dimension to the classic wardrobe. I agree about the shoes. Something a little edgier can really elevate an otherwise lady like look!
I love loafers but it can down to PRADA's and the matching handbag along with 3 pair of Bass Weejuns in the classic style of Wine, Whiskey and Black. I also bought some EILEEN FISHER knit booties: London and Dahlia, more high heels and block heels. I already have everything else.
I’m on a hunt for warm jacket that is slightly oversized and has shirt kind of cut. I also want to find a collarless long coat that’s made out of nylon with padding. I already have wool and cashmere coats, so will be nice to have something else for rainy weather.
I think I’ve already found some options, but will need to order them to try on and find the right size. Online shopping is a bumpy road. Also, it’s a bit harder for me because of my size. I’m very petite and have to shop at kids section, my usual fit is anything that’s sized between 10 and 12 years old (or between 140 and 152 cm height).
Love your narration!
❤
The leather trench is something I'm into. Ive decided to try out the style and get a faux leather first.
On my wish list is a pair of wool charcoal gray trousers. I found a pair from Ralph Lauren, but the price point is out of my reach. I will continue my search. I purchased a pair of relaxed slim ankle jeans from Banana Republic last fall that I absolutely love. I am petite and they do offer petite sizes. I will have these for a long time in my wardrobe. As always, I enjoy your videos and fashion inspiration.
I’ve leaned into the wide-legged trouser look….already have a pair of khaki twill pleated o es I can wear now, and just ordered a pair of black stretch wool ones for when it gets chillier.
Been eyeing a pair of high top classic black Chucks for a few years now and I’m finally making the plunge.
So about the shoes. I bought a pair of Solovair shoes like the one you have on your wishlist, and I absolutely love them. Exactly for what you were saying - they are a bit more masculine (in fact it's a unisex model), bit chunkier but still have that classic polished looked. Bought them roughly 1,5 year ago and for now it has been my most worn shoe, super comfortable, super practical, and fits with both dresses and pants, love them.
When it comes to the leather trenchoat tho... I mean, it looks amazing, trendy and all, but it's one of those trends I am afraid will go away. It's very 90s. So I would think about it a bit more, it's quite an expensive piece, are people really gonna wear them ones they won't be on trend?
My wihslist items are: pink like rasberry wool cardigan from United Colors of Benetton, baby blue sweater (light wool but preferably cotton), beige leather ankle boots, navy sweater or cardigan, maybe with cashmere and some longsleeve and shortsleeve tops in cream, white, navy and baby blue. And maybe the perfect pair of navy trousers that are not jeans and are a little bit more dressed up but can be also worn with my sneakers
Black jeans and a camel blazer are on my wish list for this fall😍
Have you surveyed the Crockett & Jones line of women's shoes? I think their aesthetic fits your taste in women's shoes.
Audrey, I was nodding my head constantly throughout this video, lol! We are on the same page, that’s for sure. If you find a pair of tall boots that you think are perfect, please let us know!! I am looking too. I have a pair of Doc Martens T-strap Mary Janes that are my perfect “classic but chunkier” shoes. And I’ve been wearing my oval sunnies for years, and love them to bits, so it’s very encouraging to hear that you are craving some…I trust your fashion sense implicitly! Thanks for another great video!👏
You go girl! great ideas you have my head spinning🤭
I'm excited for the shoe trends this fall partly because I already own a lot of things that fit. I have a pair of men's Wolverine 1000 miler boots and a pair of Redwing Iron Rangers--I also have a number of oxfords including a pair of grey Sorel oxfords with a chunkier sole so altogether that helps me hit the chunky menswear inspired style without going full on trendy platform boot/shoes. I'm usually a skinny pant/jean person but I have been leaning into the slightly looser silhouette this fall. I already had a pair of Everlane cheeky jeans and added a pair of madewell perfect vintage jeans. This lets me change up the silhouettes of my outfits without again leaning too hard into wide leg styles that I don't like on myself. I already had a couple of pairs of looser trousers including Banana Republic joggers and pleated plaid pants. I'm expanding my fall color palette to include more grey and taupe that I can carry into spring. I've purchased 2 blazers (a Ralph Lauren herringbone and a Theory that has shots of color subtly woven in), 2 pairs of jeans, 2 purses and a pair of adidas sneakers. I'm still on the hunt for more perfectly taupe pieces.
Love the Everlane cheeky jeans! 👍
Bootcut black pants and straight-leg jeans are on my list. I am also saving for a pair of slip-on Gucci shoes. I live in Florida so I will be able to use it for all seasons.
I actually have colors that are missing from my wardrobe. This year I want to add more chocolate and rich camel. I own many black pieces and I think both colors will pair beautifully. I own 3 silk skirts in classy, muted prints. I am contemplating adding one or two more in solid colors to wear with beautiful chunky sweaters this season. Additionally, I am looking to add chunky, mid-heeled pumps. Unsure of my color choices at this point. I so enjoy your videos as they always inspire me to purchase quality, timeless pieces that I can enjoy for seasons to come!💞
My wish list : a classic leather belt, Agolde jeans, cashmere sweater, knee high low heel leather boots, grey satin slip dress.
Timberland do a tall riding boot with a chunky rubber sole. I have a pair and they have kept me slip free and dry in scandinavia
For a petite gal, could u recommend boots brand that fit short skinny calves (14” circumference and 14” shaft height)?
Top fall wishlist item: *Turtlenecks;* long sleeve, short sleeve, no sleeve, I want them all.
Definitely check out Everlane's Pima cotton--so comfortable. I also like Madewell's tissue weight turtleneck for layering and I have some mock neck tees from them as well.
If you want one in black or cream, get the thermal silk turtle necks. Look great as an item of clothing and is thin and warm and soft for layering
If and when you find these pieces, would love to know where you purchased. I’m looking for similar items and especially for the clothes, they’re hard to find being 5’2”.
Interestingly enough I have found all my wish-list pieces while I was thrifting throughout the summer months:
Fitted Camel Wool blazer (I found a Ralph Lauren one for $1,99 🤩)
Dark Wash Denim Jacket (Ralph Lauren Sport for 9,99)
Black Chelsea Booties (New from Clarks $40 - sale)
Navy Cotton Raglan Sleeve Sweater (Vineyard Vines $14,99)
That sums it up… oh and I am on a hunt for a nice (real) leather black jacket…
Check thrift stores or goodwill type stores for a good leather jacket at a good price. I found a designer one for less than $50. I like the weathered look, but if you don't, you can' always take it to a cobbler or cleaners that specializes in leather work and have it redyed and buffed up. It will look like new.
@@druidriley3163 I love weathered pieces! Thanks!
Hi Audrey! Check out La Canadienne from Quebec for boots. Great company with quality leather. 😊
I love your idea of what kind of jeans to get. I'm on the hunt for exactly that too. When you find your ideal pair please let us know will you purchase them or give us links for ideas thanks so much
I am planning my trip wardrobe to the UK and Ireland in mid October. I have two slim turtlenecks and my black cashmere pullover and my longer Heather cashmere cardi. I got a black trench at M&S online. It is lovely and well made. It is knee length and I had a shorter light beige trench but it was shorter than I wanted for fall. I did baggy jeans in my past so not for me. Too 80’s. Good idea about the shoes. I can’t do fun sunnies as I need my prescription. I have my Maui Jim’s with prescription and they are too cool. So I have my limits. Liked the video! As always.
Save room in your suitcase for some sweaters to buy while in the UK and Ireland. You won’t regret it!!
Nice list, I have my eye on The Logan (The Office of Angela Scott) it’s a nice blend of chunky & stylish for me. ❤️
Audrey-I love the blazer with gold buttons that you bought. What is the brand?
Been on the hunt for the perfect asymmetrical gray wool skirt to pair with tights and boots for this upcoming season 🤤
I’m also on the hunt for a trench. It’s been going on for years. The typical tan doesn’t work with my coloring (undertone mismatch) plus I’m short so I don’t want to drown in fabric. I’m also on the hunt for the perfect camel sweater and camel dress pants (similar issues) and a navy pinstripe button-down. I have an emerald sweater that needs to be retired so a replacement for that. Finally at the bottom of my list is a quilted vest that doesn’t add bulk, in either black or olive.
I love making wish lists. I am sort of deciding to go through the rest of the year on a no buy. I have had covid and am suffering from long covid so just going out and shopping is overdoing it. My lifestyle has changed so I have to think about that.
Your voice is so relaxing! :)
Any recommendations for slim turtlenecks to wear with the jeans and with skirts?
I'm looking for something a bit fitted but not too body hugging
I like to buy a bit of baggy jeans, chunky shoes as well ;) I do have structured jackets , long skinny skirt and a well fitted raincoat in my closet. Thank you for your well presented video!
The Office of Angela Scott shoes are really great as well.
Hi Audrey, I love your videos! I'm looking for ankle boots with a med. stacked heel in a dark green or olive color. The scarf you're wearing knotted like a head band looks great! Im gonna try that to bring fall color into my late summer looks. Thanks!
Thursday boots have an ankle boot, the Duchess, in an olive color that I’m still in love with after four years. They are moderately priced for the quality of the boots.
I was wanting to find a tan or grey leather sneaker. I found, and purchased grey ones today.
I really only have two items on my AW 22/23 wishlist- that's a pair of tall, oversized/"loose shaft" riding boots... one in black & one in either cognac or oxblood/burgundy leather. Unfortunately I have struck out twice, trying to order them online- it's difficult to tell how something is going to fit my calf, as my build is essentially the antithesis of the ladies modeling the boots, online. 😕 But trying to buy anything in person at department stores or boutiques has been VERY difficult, in my area... little-to-no stock is being carried on site.
I love jeans a lot. I appreciate that it has a high waist.
Maybe because I am an older Gen Z, but there will always be trends that make me shudder when I look at them, namely the small oval glasses + leather trench coats (even wearing them separately), and anything resembling the 2000s in shapes and colors. i also had an embarrassing experience where I tried on the oval glasses in a mall, and my sister loudly claiming I looked blind - back then any “functional-only” glasses did not have any interesting or fashionable shapes to them. I always needed glasses even when I was a young kid. So you can imagine how mortified i was as a kid. “Oh no will this be me one day” and “oh no I am mocking actually blind ppl” were all I could think of while I held back tears. Oh, children could be so cruel 😅
I wish for a navy bag, a small gold bag, a pair of blue flare jeans, chunky loafers that look narrow, to name a few items! 😂
Thank you for the video -- I'm interested in some of the looks but will not be buying the long oversized pants that drag on the ground. That trend will absolutely be out in one season.
I'm looking for a blue pair of Doc Martens for winter. I want them for a long time, but the, are so pricy and not easy to find second hand and in a good condition. Maybe I've luck this autumn😉
Is it still considered a wishlist item if I've already bought it? I'll list them anyway!
Jewel-toned cashmere sweaters
Neutral turtleneck with beautiful detail
Casual leather purse

I'd say I'm sartorially solid for fall and winter 2022 😁
I think you would look great in a green trench coat 💚
I struggle to find a great trench also. I've thrifted several leather trenches but ended up donating because they just didn't fit quite right. I'm 5'3 petite, slender and I can't get away w oversized looks, everything swamps me.. but I'm not giving up! I love long skirts, agree w the timeless pieces . I am looking for good loafers but not super chunky.. I don't like heavy shoes.
Sub for life!

Any suggested brands for high quality jeans? I’m so done with target jeans.
American Eagle, Madewell, and Everlane all make good jeans that are relatively affordable. Once you have a good idea of size you can pick some up secondhand as well to reduce price. My other jeans are all designer (rag & bone, hudson)--they're quite a bit more expensive but I do love that I could wear them for days and they won't bag out and look weird.
can boots or shoes still be great if they are not Goodyear welted? I want a new pair of chelseas (in black) from thursday's boots but they are not Goodyear welted. does this mean i am wasting my coins?
Absolutely! I have some that aren’t Goodyear welted and I have a pair of Thursday boots that are amazing! For me, the key has been to take extra care of them so they don’t wear out as fast :) there are so many times when I can’t afford the Goodyear welted boots but finding all the other points for good construction makes them perfect ❤️
@@AudreyCoyne I thought so. i have a pair of tan chelseas from aldo (bought 2017) and they are still wearable
It helps if you have more shoes to rotate. Some of my shoes that I wore multiple times per week have worn out in a season or a pair of Sorel boots I loved in 2 years. If you can rotate between more than one pair that helps them last longer. I do think goodyear welt boots are worth it but I definitely understand that's not always an option.
