Really helpful ! Nobody does videos as helpful as you do 😘. They show what looks good but they don’t explain.
Oh thank you, I’m glad you find them helpful.
You are very good at this. You are my favorite stylist to watch. Great job you are a natural.
Wow, thank you!
Hi Melissa and team, I'd like to give you a big thank you! I'm currently on holiday in Turkey and the past 2 nights I've had people stop me saying I look lovely. I put that down to your teaching. I've watched and rewatched your videos trying to learn as much as I can. I'm a plus size lady with a large bust and stomach so it's not always easy to find flattering clothes. I wish I lived closer as I'd love to be a model for you. I'll be rewatching your videos again once home. For my Autumn/winter wardrobe. Hopefully I can do your course sometime in the future as I'd love to help other plus size women. Thanks again. Please keep up the good work ❤
Love that 🥰. I’m so glad the videos have helped you and thank you for taking the time to let us know. X
I'd love to see "neutral" outfits for a deep winter colouring or someone that suits silver better than gold. I love the outfits on you but they wouldn't work with my colouring at all! x
Just watch one of the 18 body shape masterclasses as we’ve covered most colourings on there.
I'm with you on this! I just cannot wear yellow gold, it looks terrible on me! All my jewellery is silver/white gold/platinum/stainless steel.
Don't get me started on belt/shoe/bag manufacturers who default to gold hardware 95% of the time!!! 😠
I’m also a winter colouring and find that navy and a bright white are my best neutrals but I skip all the lovely beiges and brown unless it’s shoes and accessories. In the end I still have bright colours in my summer wardrobe as they suit me best but I try to just pick 1-2 (green and denim-mid blue) and then I apply the same guidance of having several green items that I can mix and match with etc.
Same here. It would be lovely to have a winter type as second "model" so we could see booth warm and cool neutrals. I am wearing a lot of bright whites and grays, as well as champagne or light blues. No gold at all, doesn't work for me either.
Besides, thank you so much for all the time you put in your youtube audience!
Same here 😊 no gold, only silver. I usually have off white, marine blue and gray as main colours as cream / beige / brown do not go well. I love electric blue and fuchsia (bright pink). I love tan/cognac for bags and shoes.
I think we could wear beige but more as bottom or a layer provided we have a bright white next to our face.
(I also avoid pastels like the plague 😂 except when it’s a blue shirt).
Thank you, Melissa, for teaching me how to dress this new shape I’m in at 58. When I was younger I could wear most outfits without much thought. I was tall and slim. But now… still tall 5’7” 😂, but have lost my waist. You and your team have helped me sort through my clothes for what works best for my current shape. And I always remember ‘everyone needs a friend ‘. Really pulls an outfit together.
I really appreciate all your tips and tricks to make us look our best, no matter our size and shape. You’re the best!! xx
Thank you, so pleased to hear that the videos have helped you, thanks for watching x
Always a lesson in class and timeless fashion. Thank you, Melissa!!!!
would love to know how to transition the whites and light neutrals into fall for a September/October travel capsule
That’s coming! Still in summer mode for a few more weeks here. X
It's wonderful to see Monty again, he has so much joy! Really love the Amalfi shirt, it's a really gorgeous shirt! I've learned so much from your videos!
Oh thank you!
I wish I found you years ago. I’ve been wearing the wrong clothes for years 😩 I’m 5ft1 with a large bust and tummy and I’ve been wearing skinny jeans a baggy tops. Thank you❤
Happy to help!
Love your videos .. wish I could afford lillysilk every week 😀 .. I mostly shop second hand but your tips about lines and styling is really great and I found so much quality when knowing what to look for 🌹
That’s great, I’m all for finding quality at better prices x
I’ve been following you for a while, Melissa and am gradually moving away from black. Finally beginning to get the whole “tonal” thing 😊
That’s great to hear, well done x
I love cashmere jumpers, but so do the moths!
Thank you for the explanation on pant lengths! And your point about the accessories changing the formality 😮 I don’t know why it never occurred to me. Another great video, I learn so much every time!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video once again Melissa! Very good commentary on the proper length of ankle grazers! I’m tall at 5 foot 9 1/2 and always concerned about the old flood pants look from my youth😂
Very helpful to see the trouser lengths side by side. Thanks.
You’re welcome 😊
Lovely classic looks Melissa! I have a Lily Silk sweater from a few years ago and just love it. I do wish they would expand to petite sizes as most just don’t fit me at all. I love the looks you created for late summer here in the US.
I actually size up in their clothes and even for my petite clients I buy their normal range. X
OMG!!! I’m a new subscriber and was watching some earlier videos when I came upon this one. I have a pair of white jeans I’ve had all summer, but never have worn as I couldn’t figure out the right shoe to wear…and I consider myself pretty fashion savvy..I just cut them off like you mentioned and they are now perfect!!! I tried them with some cute low sling backs and flats and LOVE the look…I’m in California and plan to still get a few wears out of these!!! Thanks so much for the tips!!!❤️
Welcome!! That’s great to hear, glad you found the tips useful xx 😘
Lovely outfits, Melissa . Thank you
Glad you like them!
Good video Melissa especially ,for this weather we’re having. It’s trying to feel summery but keep warm and dry, for me anyway.😊
Great video yet again 👍🏻. Looking forward to seeing some autumnal key looks coming soon. I’d like to see a video on how to wear culotte jeans, trousers and what key things to consider in terms of height and what footwear is best.
Thank you so much for such wonderful ideas ❤
I have so much dark color and you have helped me get a new perspective for summer wardrobe!!
Happy to help!
Another really lovely video. I just love what you do with clothes, and thank you for the tips on trouser lengths I’m 5 4 and it’s a problem for me.
You are so welcome!
So very helpful! Need to grab more jackets/layers. Im in Texas, so it's super hot here. Maybe video on layers that can be used in hot climates. (most restaurants are FREEZING inside so a sweater is always needed even when its 106 degrees out!)
Noted!
Thank you so much for the explanation on ankle grazers!
Glad it was helpful!
Haven’t watched your videos for ages and forgot how brilliant you are! Great ideas. Thank you x
Welcome back! Glad you enjoyed x
Thanks for sending the link for the 17 feb show. Tickets all sorted. See you then
Wonderful, I’ll see you there!
Fantastic tips and tricks as usual absolutely love your vlogs. I have been really struggling with the length of white Jeans so very timely. All of these pieces would make a fantastic capsule wardrobe for a mini break at this time of year x
The tips for pants length are the best ever! I struggle with this. But, Melissa, I was kinda thinking that when you paired the jeans with the Birkenstocks, that your jean length was a little bit in "no man's land", based upon your own recommendations.
That’s because of the straps on the Birkenstocks which reduces the amount of foot/ankle skin on show. It’s really hard to mock it all up correctly and it’s only when you start editing afterwards that certain things display the point better than others!
@@mmpersonalstyling that makes sense. And you are the best stylist on TH-cam! I’ve learned more about style from you than anyone!
I love your videos, Melissa, and have learnt so much from you. Thank you! I'd love it if you could give some alternatives to Lilysilk. I'm still refusing to buy from them in case they are using Uighur labour and worry in case their ethics don't align with western ethics.
I only feature them 1-2 a year so there’s many videos in between which will show alternative pieces x
Great vidio first time I have watch you ❤
Thanks for watching and welcome! We typically do body shape masterclasses where we dress women of all different shapes and sizes live on the channel. X
Ty Melissa! I'm always learning from you. It was interesting to know how much of your ankle and foot should be exposed for what type of shoes or sandals that you should wear. I absolutely adore these neutral colors. They are my favorites. Thanks to your friend and pup as well. Have a lovely week.
You are so welcome!
I got lots of good tips from this video - thanks!
Great to hear!
Love all your videos but found this one particularly informative. Thank you so much for all the advice and tips x
Glad it was helpful!
Another great video Melissa. The tonal scheme works beautifully but the dark creams, browns or camels are colours I find hard to wear wear. The striped shirt would work beautifully so as I’m cool toned I assume I could switch out the browns for navy accessories or nude? I’d love to see a similar video showing how differing skin tones could adapt a capsule wardrobe. Thanks as always. ❤
You’re best watching one of the 18 body shape masterclasses on here where I dress women of all different shapes and sizes live on the channel as this will show you how I use neutrals on all of them, regardless of their colourings. It’s more about where you use them and in particular how close to the face you’re wearing them. We have a colour specific course coming out of that’s if any interest.
Fantastic thank you
Our pleasure!
Once again, a bunch of great tips ❤❤
Glad you think so!
Always interested in your advice but could we please have some guidance for properly tall ladies 5’10” plus?
Have a look at our body shape masterclass but other than that I’m beholden to the people who volunteer I’m afraid. That said, I’m filming with 8 different sized women ranging from a uk 6 to uk 22 and 5ft to 6 ft when I’m back from holiday so hopefully that will help you. We also cover dressing of taller women on our courses.
The BEST personal stylist!
Oh wow, thank you so much 😊
Love your videos! Would you please consider doing a video for how-to dress for over 60.
I’ve done that already several times. Have a look through my body shape masterclass where I’ve dressed several ladies over 60 live on the channel
@@mmpersonalstyling Thank you so much! I will look through all the videos, I love your videos, they are full of valuable information. Appreciate all the hard work you put into them.
Thank you so much!
Hi Melissa
Thanks for the video-Really lovely as always. Can I ask if there is a footwear brand or a few footwear brands you like please in terms of the following… I do not have any foot issues but when I wear ultra flat sandals such as the tan ones you show that offer no support it goes into my back and gives me back ache and shin splints and I just really struggle. Do you know of any brands that you would recommend for tan sandals but with more support please.
Thank you
Joanne
Let me know what country you’re in and I’ll see if I can help x
@@mmpersonalstyling oh yes sorry. I’m in London, UK. Thank you x
😢
As a Chinese woman, I would love if you chose a model similar to me. Ideally a fair skin woman, as opposed to someone like Michelle Yeoh whose skin color is slightly tan. Think about the korean singers that are currently super popular. I mention this because I have tried some beige, cream tops but feel like they completely wash me out. I was trying out your monochromatic neutral suggestions. Really appreciate it. Thank you!!
Same for me. Anything beige or cream makes me look totally washed out. I usually stick to pure white.
I’m happy to dress anyone from any background, any height, any size but unfortunately I live in a relatively remote area of the countryside with zero diversity and I’ve put adverts out for models of all different shapes and sizes and can only use who applies.
Thanks so much for the video! I did not see the sizes Melissa is wearing on either of the moonsift links. Can you tell me how to find the sizes? It would really be helpful.
If you click on the item you like, it then says my size in the comments box.
Got it thank you! I see them the UK links (not in US link comments section) and I can see the comments in safari browser but not google chrome - FYI for our friends out there.
Thanks for mentioning this! I've brought it up before, but I thought I was just not seeing it. There is no size information in the US links.
Loving your videos! Thank you so much. What color bag would you receive mend if you only choose one? Tan or sand/pebble or something else?
It depends on which one would go in your personal wardrobe best. For me it would be a tan or cream one but my wardrobe will be different to yours.
new subscriber here, saw you on the honest channel. Great ideas Im a 5'1, tops 10, bottom varies from 10 - 12, dresses and shirts always look too big on the body and make me feel awkward, and dont get me started on my wide size 4 feet 😢
You’re not too dissimilar from myself, I have a uk size 4 wide foot, I’m 5ft 3 (and a bit) so copy the styling principles that you see me wearing and the same format should work on yourself (adjust obviously for your lifestyle).
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you I will try that
Love your channel. I need a stylist that I can go shopping with. Can you advise how to find someone that is as talented you? I live in the US. Thanks for all you great advice
I’m sorry but I don’t know any in the States…
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you.
Thank you, really useful advice. I have a pair of animal print loafers but am struggling to work out what trousers to wear them with. Any advice?
Blue, black or cream jeans or trousers
Love the white silk trouser😍 what size are you wearing? I’m normally a size 10 but I’m not sure which size should I pick. Are they true to size? Have there a larger fit or a smaller fit?😊 wanted to buy but not sure because of the sizes.😊 great video 👍
I’m wearing a UK size 10. You can find the sizes for all the clothes in the moonsift link by clicking on the item :)
Hi Melissa
Some beautiful items, sadly out of my budget. I scrolled down to look at alternatives and found some great priced linen trousers 🤩 unfortunately not plus sized. I’m an 18 in trousers and 32” in length. Can you help? I’d love a silk shirt or vest top but I’m 24/26 on top half. I find it nearly impossible to find nice items for my tall, too heavy body type! 🙏🤞
Thank you x
In a couple of weeks time when I’m back from holiday I’m filming with 8 women ranging from a uk 6-uk 24 5ft to 6ft in height. We’ll be dressing them all in the same items so you should get some ideas from that video x
@@mmpersonalstyling oh fabulous! That’s great to know, thank you so much 😊 x
So good! 💖🚀💫✨
Thanks 🔥
Same with me I am a deep autumn and these colors wash me out
You can still wear those neutrals. Watch any of the body shape masterclasses where I dress women of similar colour tones to yourself and you’ll see how…
Can anyone recommend a similar stylist for men? Melissa's sorted me out but now my husband wants in! Any ideas!?
Sorry, I can’t, just don’t know any these days!
Does it matter if whites don’t match. If for example the white top and white jeans are slightly different whites.
No it doesn’t matter but I’d usually add in a second colour like a darker brown belt to separate the two.
The beige and white stripe blouse came from where?
Sorry, it’s an old video so I can’t recall off the top of my head but if you follow to link it will be shown on the board. That said, I imagine most of the items will be sold out by now.
What is the bra you showed?
It’s linked in the description box for you
Omg how many influencers are going to do this lilly silk striped shirt & white silk trouser. Seriously 🙄🙄🙄🙄 am pretty sure they get the shirt free to promote their stuff.
How it works is that you get to choose 7-8 pieces for free then it’s up to you what to show - if any - if the quality wasn’t any good or I didn’t like them then I wouldn’t show them.
@@mmpersonalstyling if you get to choose then how come every single influencers are choosing the exact same stripped shirt & same trouser. Feels like watching it on repeat and gets fed up & annoyed & lose interest after a point. In the past week all Influencers are doing lilly silk promo.
Oh no- more cashmere which is beautiful but unfortunately I’m allergic!!!
😢…. A nice cotton jumper would look just as good x
Lily Silk are blasting all the Influencer’s the last few days. Unfortunately most of us could never afford to buy from this brand lovely as the Clothes are. Unrealistic from most that watch UTube, really annoying. Cashmere Jumpers and Silk Trousers are unrealistic for your average Women.
I know right. Every channel I follow is promoting them at the moment. It's a bit hard to avoid them. Great if you don't have to pay for the clothes
Iike us viewers do.😢
I do understand what you’re saying but the reason we show them is that they’re one of the most brought items from my site meaning that my customers are happy to pay their prices. I get more people buying from places like Monica vinader, Lilysilk and Me&Em than I do H&M, mango and Amazon. So I try and mix it up so the channel satisfies everyone. It’s very hard to keep such a wide and diverse audience satisfied and do remember that this is free content for you so please feel free not to watch if the items aren’t right for you x
For me, the point of these sessions is not always to buy exactly what Melissa is wearing but to give you ideas on colours/styles. I have learned soo much from her by adapting what Melissa wears to suit my style and budget.
😘
