So am I correct that the US links are for “similar” items not exact ones? I checked all of the trouser links looking for the beige kick flare button front jeans as well as the white raw hem kick flares and none match. So trouser links at least are just for the same ideas of styles, not exact ones?
I know Arket doesn’t ship to the USA so maybe she couldn’t list that one. The mango link still showed prices in pounds so I wasn’t sure if I was looking at American sizing or British sizing.
I don't want to have to hem brand new britches. (May come from when I was a young kid & I was a tall string bean. Also remember the rise on pants was often too long. Clothing has changed. Mom always shopped at Macy's & JC Penneys...not KMart.)
This is seriously so helpful! I often feel like I ruin my outfit as soon as I put shoes on. Could you do more styling with shoes tips for closed toe, flats, and a winter season version? For some months of the year it just isn't practical to have exposed ankle showing, and post pandemic I find I can't bear wearing heels as I used to.
Thank you!! I love your channel! You actually explain WHY these styles do what they do on the body and you consider that women want options. Plus, nothing is ridiculously over the top and your suggestions work for everyday. ❤️
Simply amazing! Your visuals are everything…talking about something and showing it are very different. Thank you so much for showing us not only the what and how but also clothing that we can actually wear! You are a treasure…🇨🇦
Hi Melissa, have felt I’d lost my mojo style wise after virtually 2 years of lockdowns etc, loving your videos which give me the tips I’m looking for to bring my style up to date whilst still retaining a classic vibe.
Brilliant! I thought that everything would look good on your slim figure, but you showed that some styles are bad no matter how slim you are. I learned a lot already!
I would love to see more styling for feminine looks with closed toe shoes. For work, business casual/closed toe/standing all day, I find it hard to find the right outfit in the warmer months
Amen! I have terrible feet, suffer from multiple old foot injuries and plantar fasciitis, and I can only wear Merrell shoes. With my custom orthotic in. I've tried ballet flats and, now way, they just don't have enough sole or ankle support. I'm pretty much stuck in boots 😳🤦♀️. I look like I'm ready to climb the Alps ALL THE TIME 🤣🍻.
Another great video, you’re definitely the best on RUclips when it comes to styling. Your advice is spot on and practical, can’t wait for the next video. You really are so lovely 🥰 xx
Discovered you a few weeks ago and am now obsessed with your videos, have you got a winter styling mistakes? As a not very stylish 41 year old woman, you are doing an amazing thing. Thank you x
Hi Melissa, this is one of your BEST videos for us older gals. It's really helped prepare me for spring and summer dressing, and any shopping I need to do to help me not look frumpy. Thank you for this one.
Great video Melissa. You've inspired me to get more tonal with lighter/beige shades which, as a size 16 (UK) I didn't think I could pull off. But proportions are key. I received a compliment yesterday on my beige jeans and boots :D Thank you! You're the best stylist on RUclips xx
Check out my body shape master classes - it's where I dress real women of all different shapes and sizes. There's 6 episodes on here so far but a further 3 to come including a UK size 22, UK 18 and a UK 14 - all with larger stomach issues, feet issues - basically real issues that i have to deal with live on screen. Click on my logo then the video tab and you'll see all the videos in the one place.
I'm impressed with your styling informative tips!! You explain very clearly why a combination is easy on the eye or not, and I've seen lots and lots of styling videos, but yours are the clearest by far. Thanks from my heart.
The knee length jeans shorts is all I wear in the summer!! 😮 I always knew they weren't flattering but I also never knew how to wear them or what to wear instead of them. Thank you Melissa for the help! ❤
Great video. People don’t realize it’s small changes that make a great impact. You can make or break an outfit with simply your shoe choice. The color and style will raise or lower the frumpy factor immediately.!
Thanks for these tips Melissa. I often go back and rewatch your videos as a guide when choosing an outfit. It’s like having you there with me to help. Your tips seem so obvious until I come to styling my own clothes, so it’s really great to have a library of them. Keep up the good work- you are so inspiring!
Concerned viewer- glad to see you’re back. I was like an addict checking the past week for advice. Great video and contrasting analysis/views are a great visual aid for learning. Learning loads. Thank you.
Ah, bless you, thank you for your concern. I went on holiday with my family so when i got back i had back to back styling clients everyday including the weekends and just didn't get a break in my schedule to film anything so thats why it's taken awhile but I promise i haven't gone anywhere! I'm actually working on 3 new body shape master classes with plus size ladies, a lady of colour and another lady with big boobs and tummy issues so all that prep is keeping me busy in the background. Thanks for watching x
Sooo useful ….. I know my shape; best colours and style personality, but can still struggle creating outfits that look and feel right. Another great visual video Melissa - thank you x
I learn so much from these videos. I must have watched this one abt 5x already lol! Would love to see a video about chosing best dress lengths and styles for body types, especially as summer approaches. I'm a short legged, wide hipped, busty pear shaped lady and always have trouble figuring out what lengths and styles are most flattering.
Thank you. I am guilty of all of these styling mistakes. I wear ugly athletic shoes as they are most supportive of lower back problems. You gave me some ideas on how I can at least improve my situation with the shoe color, pant length, and choice of top. If you are taking any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate seeing a video about what 'mistakes' to get rid of from my wardrobe. I would love to clean out my closet without guilt and simplify my wardrobe. Tackling jewelry is another challenge. Thanks again! Well done!
Agree with all comments already posted. You’re advise is so great and so helpful. Trying to work with items I already own and kick the look up a notch to get your stylish looks. Love your inspiration. More, please!!
Hi Melissa, Another great video, I particularly loved the advise about certain shoes elongating the leg. I will be incorpoating this into my styling immediately. Thanks so much.
I love your channel! I’ve just found it but suppose I wasn’t looking for personal styling but I’m so glad I did!! I’ve watched your channel constantly over the last 24hrs ❤ I’ve already ordered 6 pieces you’ve suggested. The best is when you have all the ladies with different shapes/sizes.
This is the best styling video I’ve seen in a long time . You really put a lot of effort into this and your advice is great . I’m going to put your ideas into practice . Thank you . You’re a star 💫
Melissa you are the 'clothes wizard' love your videos eagerly wait for them to pop up on my phone. Dont think I've told you this before but I totally love your very natural and understated make up look. Whatever you wear, when you elevate a look your makeup still looks perfect and I think many of us feel we have to add more to get a polished look. Your SO inspiring, thank you for being my mentor. 😘
Oh wow, thank you Julie! The honest reason why my make-up stays the same is because i'm totally rubbish with make-up and hair and I don't know how to do anything different 😂😂. But it was very nice of you to comment, thank you, you've made my evening!
Hi Melissa from New Zealand, just sat and watched a couple of your videos. 56 years young always been a plus size hour glass figure but carrying the extra menopause weight around my tummy (from my waist & derriere to the top of my leg) and fed up feeling frumpy and getting it wrong all the time - as we are coming into autumn and I need to do abit of clothes shopping you have certainly given me some ideas not only to like the reflection in the mirror but to walk talk with confidence knowing I rock whatever I am wearing. Big thank you 😀xx
I'm so glad to hear that Angela. I'm about to film with a plus size hourglass shape woman so keep an eye out for that. Plus, on Tuesday i'm filming with a lady who has a larger stomach area so that should be up for the end of the weekend. x
Fantastic video Melissa! I had to chuckle - I’m guilty of the black trainer look!! 🤣🤣 Funny thing is I could feel there was something not right about it, but couldn’t quite work out why?! Your tips have helped enormously, thank you 🤔😎👍💕 xx
Oh dear Beverley 😂 Well i'm glad i've helped you to work out why it's not working, if budget allows invest in a cut little pair of white trainers and you'll look much better and they'll go with everything x
First time viewing your video and love the useful tips you provided! Most of these mistakes I have made but with a few simple changes I now know I can avoid the frumpy look. And most of the things to add or change I already have in my closet and just didn’t know how to pull it together. Thank you for a great video for the middle-aged regular woman who doesn’t want to look average!!! ❤️😃
Melissa thanks for a brilliant video. Love seeing how you can improve on a style and bring it up to date. Love it and look forward to others you put up. Cheers :)
Always enjoy your videos. Being shorter (5ft 2 if I'm optimistic!) it would be fantastic if you could sometimes list petite ranges - particularly trousers. shortening longer trousers doesn't always work. keep the videos coming 🙂
I think this is supposed to be inspiration. You can click on the links she provides and then use the description on the website, (ie linen button down shirt) and just type it into the search bar with "petite". I think she already puts in so much effort linking the things she shows us and alternatives. It's a lot to ask her to list for petite, tall, curve and regular. I'm tall and I do what I suggested above.
There is nothing better than a lightweight, 100% linen, or cotton top, with taupe cropped pants, and lovely sandals on a hot summer day. I cannot abide tops with POCKETS, especially since I already have a large bust.
How do you keep 100% linen looking good? It's so shapeless after washing. I have a few pairs, just bought in the last few weeks in June, 2024, and find they work well for me. Linen drives me crazy all shriveled up after the wash. What am I supposed to do iron them?
You are my absolute favourite stylist on RUclips! Practical, stylish tips that truly enhance our look - and our confidence! Thank you, thank you, thank you! x
I have only just found your vlogs and I love them! You give so much good advice that gradually I am getting the ability to sort out my wardrobe and understand where I have been going wrong all these years. Thank you can’t wait for your next one.

I always looking forward to see your new Videos. To see the „before and after“ is absolut great help. Thank you so much and please continue with your Videos.😘
So interesting. Definitely going to take on those tips. Those nude heels look fantastic, but I couldn’t wear a heel now. How would you suggest a knee length skirt would work, or are they a complete no this year ? I could see the White Stuff one is the wrong length. I had to laugh, those knee length denim shorts are exactly what I wear gardening! Nowhere else though apart from a quick emergency dog walk🤭. I do love long skirts but in summer I also like knee length to get some on my legs. Absolutely no way I go higher than the knees for anything, my thighs are awful. Even with daily yoga, aerobics, walking you name it.
Hi Trish. I'd wear a knee length skirt with a sandal or slider or maybe a small wedged heel or espadrille. Just make sure theres no straps and they're neutral in colour. x
Thank you Kathy - I am trying but I have a full time job as a stylist and I took two weeks off to go on holiday with the family which meant I had all my clients to catch up on! The more people that subscribe the more I can split my time between making these videos and my face to face clients so spread the word please!!!! xx
Wonderful! Shapewear is so personal. It depends what area needs shaping. Generally speaking if you're a pear you should wear one that starts above the knees and goes under the bust so it smooths down the thighs, apple - a waist nipper is good as then it doesn't flatten the bottom (which is a common characteristic of an apple shaped lady) but most people aren't just one shape so to advise with any real level of accuracy i'd need to see you i'm afraid. x
@@mmpersonalstyling Ah I understand, I’m a pear shape, I was looking at all the brands there is loads ! Thank you again Melissa, can’t wait for the next lesson but catching up on all the previous postings
Melissa I just found you a couple of weeks ago and I am a HUGE fan! Thank you for speaking to the everyday woman. Just LOVE your content! Not sure how I made it to 57 and did not know I was a strawberry ;) I had not heard that term before. I am on the short side (5'3") with curvy legs (defined calf) so will be trying out wide pants. Question about the flowy shorts. If someone is not wanting to wear them quite a short as this video should we stick to pants or is there room for a bit more length with the shorts as long as they are flowy? Thanks!
I moved from a cooler coastal climate to the midwestern US where we have hot humid summers, which means I had to buy new shorts. Now I have some good input on where to hem my not-too-tight shorts the best, long-leg look.
Thank for your amazing tips simple but can make such a difference. Sometimes I put on an outfit and think somethings not quite right, if only I saw this video 10 years ago lol
Cut me to the quick! Ha! Thank you for sharing so many restyling options. I appreciate how you break it down and explain why something does/doesn’t work.
Hello, greetings from USA. Thanks for showing us the side by side view. Many you-tubers just show us what's right or wrong in photos, but the side by side videos make me really understand the difference. You have a new subscriber!
I am very new to your channel, having just discovered it among all those self-proclaimed "style experts" you can find on YT. I am thrilled, I am amazed and I am so genuinely happy that I found a channel of a person that really knows her job, advises women with normal body shapes and features and offers outfits that will be relevant for all of us who wear sizes bigger than UK 10. I am so grateful. Great job - you just got yourself a new subscriber :)
Thank you again, Melissa for another great video. I was nodding to and laughing to some of these as I am doing some of these mistakes. With my apple, slight pear petite woman, I was able to follow most of these. Looking forward to the next one.
Discovered you this week and have binged watched all your videos. Am already implementing some of your advice. I would be that person guilty of not having accessories and not having a variety of jackets/coats.
I no longer suit t-shirts or shirts tucked into denim. My go-to outfit with a nice leather belt for many decades. At 60 + I now have a muffin top that hangs over my jeans! You gave me some good style ideas. I am a new subscriber. Looking forward to seeing your other videos. Perhaps one on wearing jeans?!
Another fantastic video Melissa… Agree you are the best stylist on RUclips by far. I saw myself in a few of these befores - I hadn’t been able to identify the problem but I see them clearly now thanks to you. … Too tight shirts was the biggest aha moment but there were many.
That's very nice of you to say so Sandra. I don't see myself like that at all. In fact, every time I release a new video i don't sleep well as i'm wriggled with anxiety thinking that people won't enjoy it! So your comments mean more than you think so a big thank you. xx
As always great advice, and everything makes sense🎉I need to get rid of the rest of the "befores" and purchase a good white shirt and one wide leg pants and blazer so I can be more current. Thank you Melissa for saving our looks. It is so easy to get stuck in the previous fashion era. All of a sudden you feel frumpy, although you are not sure how to change it and what is wrong with your outfit.
This is an excellent video Melissa thank you so much. it is so practical and makes so much sense. You were able to show small changes make such a difference. please keep them coming.
Your recommendations for shorts are great if your legs look good! I used to love short shorts but I can't wear them anymore. I only want to go a little above the knee these days!
Thank you so much. Have you watched my latest video where I dress an apple shaped lady with a larger bust live on camera? That may help you. Here's the link ruclips.net/video/Uak_fyXUpd8/видео.html
Love all the styling ideas in this video especially the trousers length. I found a couple of my friends have done that wrong and I was feeling embarrassing to tell them the mistakes. The best way is to share your video with them:) x

I don’t see the link for the silky long sleeve shirt you were wearing with the wide shorts. Is there a similar?
I don’t see link for the white silk shirt set
So am I correct that the US links are for “similar” items not exact ones? I checked all of the trouser links looking for the beige kick flare button front jeans as well as the white raw hem kick flares and none match. So trouser links at least are just for the same ideas of styles, not exact ones?
Loved all the tips.
I know Arket doesn’t ship to the USA so maybe she couldn’t list that one. The mango link still showed prices in pounds so I wasn’t sure if I was looking at American sizing or British sizing.
I like the long wide leg trousers but I do t like them dragging on the floor
Just take them up slightly so they don't drag - that's what i do!
How does anyone wear them without getting the hems dirty
I don't want to have to hem brand new britches. (May come from when I was a young kid & I was a tall string bean. Also remember the rise on pants was often too long. Clothing has changed. Mom always shopped at Macy's & JC Penneys...not KMart.)
Due to walking issues sneakers are the only footwear I can wear as I need the cushioning so I have a dozen pairs to go with dresses, trousers etc.
Can't imagine driving with all that material from wideleg pants dragging on the car floor.
This is seriously so helpful! I often feel like I ruin my outfit as soon as I put shoes on. Could you do more styling with shoes tips for closed toe, flats, and a winter season version? For some months of the year it just isn't practical to have exposed ankle showing, and post pandemic I find I can't bear wearing heels as I used to.
Thank you!! I love your channel! You actually explain WHY these styles do what they do on the body and you consider that women want options. Plus, nothing is ridiculously over the top and your suggestions work for everyday. ❤️
Thank you, that's nice of you to say so x
Does anyone else take screenshots of all the amazing stylings of Melissa?! I keep them in a little folder on my computer for future inspiration.
No. I have not. But thanks for the idea 😊
Oh goodness me, you'll be sick of seeing my face! Good idea though!!!
Yes I do!
I do that too!! ❤😂
Yes, have been taking screenshots for years of videos and start folders for fashion, crafts, decorating, etc ..you get the idea.
Simply amazing! Your visuals are everything…talking about something and showing it are very different. Thank you so much for showing us not only the what and how but also clothing that we can actually wear! You are a treasure…🇨🇦
Thanks so much 😊
Hi Melissa, have felt I’d lost my mojo style wise after virtually 2 years of lockdowns etc, loving your videos which give me the tips I’m looking for to bring my style up to date whilst still retaining a classic vibe.
Brilliant!
I thought that everything would look good on your slim figure, but you showed that some styles are bad no matter how slim you are.
I learned a lot already!
Brilliant! It’s so helpful for you to wear the mistakes to illustrate. Great work Melissa!
your explanations are so clear! the side by side examples make your points so apparent.
Thank you! x
I would love to see more styling for feminine looks with closed toe shoes. For work, business casual/closed toe/standing all day, I find it hard to find the right outfit in the warmer months
Wear loafers or mules
Noted! x
Me too. I can’t work in heels. I’m on my feet all day.
Amen! I have terrible feet, suffer from multiple old foot injuries and plantar fasciitis, and I can only wear Merrell shoes. With my custom orthotic in. I've tried ballet flats and, now way, they just don't have enough sole or ankle support. I'm pretty much stuck in boots 😳🤦♀️. I look like I'm ready to climb the Alps ALL THE TIME 🤣🍻.
I agree - I just want to wear socks!
Another great video, you’re definitely the best on RUclips when it comes to styling. Your advice is spot on and practical, can’t wait for the next video. You really are so lovely 🥰 xx
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
Incredible how the correct shoe can change our entire appearance! Great comparisons!
Don't forget Carla Rockmore too! These two are THE BEST
Thank you so much for publishing these videos. I have learnt so much!
Love all your ideas. I do everything wrong. I can’t believe just simply lengths an colors make such a difference.
So true!
Discovered you a few weeks ago and am now obsessed with your videos, have you got a winter styling mistakes? As a not very stylish 41 year old woman, you are doing an amazing thing. Thank you x
We’re filming on Monday a winter boots/shoes mistakes video. There’s also mistakes videos on our Personal Styling For Yourself Courses. X
Hi Melissa, this is one of your BEST videos for us older gals. It's really helped prepare me for spring and summer dressing, and any shopping I need to do to help me not look frumpy. Thank you for this one.
I'm really pleased to hear that, thank you for letting me know. x
Great video Melissa. You've inspired me to get more tonal with lighter/beige shades which, as a size 16 (UK) I didn't think I could pull off. But proportions are key. I received a compliment yesterday on my beige jeans and boots :D Thank you! You're the best stylist on RUclips xx
I'm so glad - everyone loves a compliment! xx
I'm a size 16 and sat here thinking I can't pull off any of these outfits because of my size. Still good to watch.
Check out my body shape master classes - it's where I dress real women of all different shapes and sizes. There's 6 episodes on here so far but a further 3 to come including a UK size 22, UK 18 and a UK 14 - all with larger stomach issues, feet issues - basically real issues that i have to deal with live on screen. Click on my logo then the video tab and you'll see all the videos in the one place.
I love these before and afters! The styling tips are so helpful thank you 🤍
Great tips. Like how you show the looks side by side. Very helpful
Great tips. The comparison of right and wrong spot on. Grazie
Hi Melissa! Great video! I really like this format where you show a look and then how to improve upon it! Great tips!! Thanks a bunch!!
I'm impressed with your styling informative tips!! You explain very clearly why a combination is easy on the eye or not, and I've seen lots and lots of styling videos, but yours are the clearest by far. Thanks from my heart.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, they mean a lot. X
What about about us ladies in our 70’s
The knee length jeans shorts is all I wear in the summer!! 😮 I always knew they weren't flattering but I also never knew how to wear them or what to wear instead of them. Thank you Melissa for the help! ❤
You're so welcome!
Great video. People don’t realize it’s small changes that make a great impact. You can make or break an outfit with simply your shoe choice. The color and style will raise or lower the frumpy factor immediately.!
I totally agree!
Thanks for these tips Melissa. I often go back and rewatch your videos as a guide when choosing an outfit. It’s like having you there with me to help. Your tips seem so obvious until I come to styling my own clothes, so it’s really great to have a library of them. Keep up the good work- you are so inspiring!
Thank you so much Cheryl, I'm so pleased to know they're helping you x
I do exactly the same! 😂
Concerned viewer- glad to see you’re back. I was like an addict checking the past week for advice. Great video and contrasting analysis/views are a great visual aid for learning. Learning loads. Thank you.
Me too, I was wondering why there were no new posts!
Ah, bless you, thank you for your concern. I went on holiday with my family so when i got back i had back to back styling clients everyday including the weekends and just didn't get a break in my schedule to film anything so thats why it's taken awhile but I promise i haven't gone anywhere! I'm actually working on 3 new body shape master classes with plus size ladies, a lady of colour and another lady with big boobs and tummy issues so all that prep is keeping me busy in the background. Thanks for watching x
I really like your tips. The comparison of the looks really helped
Sooo useful ….. I know my shape; best colours and style personality, but can still struggle creating outfits that look and feel right. Another great visual video Melissa - thank you x
So happy to have come across your video. As a 50 ish Brit living in England, I've found your tips highly relatable. Thank you!
I'm so glad, thank you for watching x
I learn so much from these videos. I must have watched this one abt 5x already lol! Would love to see a video about chosing best dress lengths and styles for body types, especially as summer approaches. I'm a short legged, wide hipped, busty pear shaped lady and always have trouble figuring out what lengths and styles are most flattering.
Thank you. I am guilty of all of these styling mistakes. I wear ugly athletic shoes as they are most supportive of lower back problems. You gave me some ideas on how I can at least improve my situation with the shoe color, pant length, and choice of top. If you are taking any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate seeing a video about what 'mistakes' to get rid of from my wardrobe. I would love to clean out my closet without guilt and simplify my wardrobe. Tackling jewelry is another challenge. Thanks again! Well done!
Agree with all comments already posted. You’re advise is so great and so helpful. Trying to work with items I already own and kick the look up a notch to get your stylish looks. Love your inspiration. More, please!!
I would love to learn more about the details in the white shirts and what makes one dated and what is more current.
white shirts - baggier, over sized is good, too tight and starched is dated...
@@mmpersonalstyling thanks!
Hi Melissa, Another great video, I particularly loved the advise about certain shoes elongating the leg. I will be incorpoating this into my styling immediately. Thanks so much.
Good luck with it x
Thanks so much Melissa! Take care!
Another brilliant video Melissa, you are wonderful! I love your styling and tips etc. I have learnt so much! Thank you. xx
Thank your for watching x
Love your style!
Thank you!!
I am so grateful for you and your videos - very informative and helpful!
Thank you x
I love your channel! I’ve just found it but suppose I wasn’t looking for personal styling but I’m so glad I did!! I’ve watched your channel constantly over the last 24hrs ❤ I’ve already ordered 6 pieces you’ve suggested.
The best is when you have all the ladies with different shapes/sizes.
Welcome!! Lovely to have you on board with us and I hope you continue your enjoy our videos xx
This is the best styling video I’ve seen in a long time . You really put a lot of effort into this and your advice is great . I’m going to put your ideas into practice . Thank you . You’re a star 💫
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your comments, it's what keeps me going. x
All good advice. Love the “after” looks.
Melissa you are the 'clothes wizard' love your videos eagerly wait for them to pop up on my phone. Dont think I've told you this before but I totally love your very natural and understated make up look. Whatever you wear, when you elevate a look your makeup still looks perfect and I think many of us feel we have to add more to get a polished look. Your SO inspiring, thank you for being my mentor. 😘
Oh wow, thank you Julie! The honest reason why my make-up stays the same is because i'm totally rubbish with make-up and hair and I don't know how to do anything different 😂😂. But it was very nice of you to comment, thank you, you've made my evening!
Hi Melissa from New Zealand, just sat and watched a couple of your videos. 56 years young always been a plus size hour glass figure but carrying the extra menopause weight around my tummy (from my waist & derriere to the top of my leg) and fed up feeling frumpy and getting it wrong all the time - as we are coming into autumn and I need to do abit of clothes shopping you have certainly given me some ideas not only to like the reflection in the mirror but to walk talk with confidence knowing I rock whatever I am wearing. Big thank you 😀xx
I'm so glad to hear that Angela. I'm about to film with a plus size hourglass shape woman so keep an eye out for that. Plus, on Tuesday i'm filming with a lady who has a larger stomach area so that should be up for the end of the weekend. x
Fantastic video Melissa! I had to chuckle - I’m guilty of the black trainer look!! 🤣🤣 Funny thing is I could feel there was something not right about it, but couldn’t quite work out why?! Your tips have helped enormously, thank you 🤔😎👍💕 xx
Oh dear Beverley 😂 Well i'm glad i've helped you to work out why it's not working, if budget allows invest in a cut little pair of white trainers and you'll look much better and they'll go with everything x
Your channel is brilliant. I’m so glad I found you.
First time viewing your video and love the useful tips you provided! Most of these mistakes I have made but with a few simple changes I now know I can avoid the frumpy look. And most of the things to add or change I already have in my closet and just didn’t know how to pull it together. Thank you for a great video for the middle-aged regular woman who doesn’t want to look average!!! ❤️😃
You’re very welcome x
This video definitely convinced me to get some light color shoes! Thanks!
Melissa thanks for a brilliant video. Love seeing how you can improve on a style and bring it up to date. Love it and look forward to others you put up. Cheers :)
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for your advice; l never realised the colour of shoes could make such difference. Merci, Selma from France 😊
Always enjoy your videos. Being shorter (5ft 2 if I'm optimistic!) it would be fantastic if you could sometimes list petite ranges - particularly trousers. shortening longer trousers doesn't always work. keep the videos coming 🙂
I think this is supposed to be inspiration. You can click on the links she provides and then use the description on the website, (ie linen button down shirt) and just type it into the search bar with "petite". I think she already puts in so much effort linking the things she shows us and alternatives. It's a lot to ask her to list for petite, tall, curve and regular. I'm tall and I do what I suggested above.
Thank you Julie. I really appreciate that and you're absolutely right and i'm super touched that you recognise that, thank you 😍
Fantastic content. Thanks for breaking down what is wrong with the looks, and then showing how to fix them. Valuable information.
Glad you enjoyed it!
There is nothing better than a lightweight, 100% linen, or cotton top, with taupe cropped pants, and lovely sandals on a hot summer day. I cannot abide tops with POCKETS, especially since I already have a large bust.
How do you keep 100% linen looking good? It's so shapeless after washing. I have a few pairs, just bought in the last few weeks in June, 2024, and find they work well for me. Linen drives me crazy all shriveled up after the wash. What am I supposed to do iron them?
You are my absolute favourite stylist on RUclips! Practical, stylish tips that truly enhance our look - and our confidence! Thank you, thank you, thank you! x
Wow, thank you so much!
I have only just found your vlogs and I love them! You give so much good advice that gradually I am getting the ability to sort out my wardrobe and understand where I have been going wrong all these years. Thank you can’t wait for your next one.
Thank you Mary and welcome on board. If you click on my logo then the videos tab youll see all of my videos in one place. x
Just found this today and I can't stop watching your videos.
Love your personality and the way you describe do's and don't ❤
Thank you so much!!

I always looking forward to see your new Videos. To see the „before and after“ is absolut great help. Thank you so much and please continue with your Videos.😘
So interesting. Definitely going to take on those tips. Those nude heels look fantastic, but I couldn’t wear a heel now.
How would you suggest a knee length skirt would work, or are they a complete no this year ?
I could see the White Stuff one is the wrong length. I had to laugh, those knee length denim shorts are exactly what I wear gardening! Nowhere else though apart from a quick emergency dog walk🤭. I do love long skirts but in summer I also like knee length to get some on my legs. Absolutely no way I go higher than the knees for anything, my thighs are awful. Even with daily yoga, aerobics, walking you name it.
Hi Trish. I'd wear a knee length skirt with a sandal or slider or maybe a small wedged heel or espadrille. Just make sure theres no straps and they're neutral in colour. x
@@mmpersonalstyling ok👍. Thanks for that, I will definitely keep that in mind.
Love your videos and styling tips! Please come back more often! You are missed!
Thank you Kathy - I am trying but I have a full time job as a stylist and I took two weeks off to go on holiday with the family which meant I had all my clients to catch up on! The more people that subscribe the more I can split my time between making these videos and my face to face clients so spread the word please!!!! xx
Melissa, I’m converted putting loads of your advice into practise. Thank you so much, please keep up the good work
P.S thoughts on shapewear please?
Wonderful! Shapewear is so personal. It depends what area needs shaping. Generally speaking if you're a pear you should wear one that starts above the knees and goes under the bust so it smooths down the thighs, apple - a waist nipper is good as then it doesn't flatten the bottom (which is a common characteristic of an apple shaped lady) but most people aren't just one shape so to advise with any real level of accuracy i'd need to see you i'm afraid. x
@@mmpersonalstyling Ah I understand, I’m a pear shape, I was looking at all the brands there is loads !
Thank you again Melissa, can’t wait for the next lesson but catching up on all the previous postings
Thank you for these tips especially when choosing the proper shoes.
Melissa I just found you a couple of weeks ago and I am a HUGE fan! Thank you for speaking to the everyday woman. Just LOVE your content! Not sure how I made it to 57 and did not know I was a strawberry ;) I had not heard that term before. I am on the short side (5'3") with curvy legs (defined calf) so will be trying out wide pants. Question about the flowy shorts. If someone is not wanting to wear them quite a short as this video should we stick to pants or is there room for a bit more length with the shorts as long as they are flowy? Thanks!
Definitely room to wear them a little longer and thank you for your kind words xx
I moved from a cooler coastal climate to the midwestern US where we have hot humid summers, which means I had to buy new shorts. Now I have some good input on where to hem my not-too-tight shorts the best, long-leg look.
Thank for your amazing tips simple but can make such a difference. Sometimes I put on an outfit and think somethings not quite right, if only I saw this video 10 years ago lol
Your suggestions are so reasonable. Great advice.
Thank you for this video. You really opened my eyes to fashion❤️
Such brilliant style tips! Thank you so much.
Cut me to the quick! Ha! Thank you for sharing so many restyling options. I appreciate how you break it down and explain why something does/doesn’t work.
You are so welcome!
So many helpful ideas. I love the way you showed how to make stylish updates to common mistakes.Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Your videos are the best discovery I’ve made in a long time. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
I love your channel! I really feel like you are genuine and want to help everyday women look stylish. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Hello, greetings from USA. Thanks for showing us the side by side view. Many you-tubers just show us what's right or wrong in photos, but the side by side videos make me really understand the difference. You have a new subscriber!
Thank you so much, I’m glad you find them helpful and thanks for subscribing x
Really great tips. Seeing the outfits really works to absorb the information.
Excellent. Small teaks really makes a difference! Using some of these on my girl trip this weekend!
You're very right. Have a lovely time away!
Really enjoyed this video, you have a very good eye for styling and body types . Thanks for all the info and links. 🥰👍👍👍👍👍
You're very welcome x
I am very new to your channel, having just discovered it among all those self-proclaimed "style experts" you can find on YT. I am thrilled, I am amazed and I am so genuinely happy that I found a channel of a person that really knows her job, advises women with normal body shapes and features and offers outfits that will be relevant for all of us who wear sizes bigger than UK 10. I am so grateful. Great job - you just got yourself a new subscriber :)
Thank you so much for your very generous comments and welcome on board!
Thank you again, Melissa for another great video. I was nodding to and laughing to some of these as I am doing some of these mistakes. With my apple, slight pear petite woman, I was able to follow most of these. Looking forward to the next one.
I have a new video going up this weekend using a lady who has an apple stomach and a FF chest - hopefully that might help you. x
Discovered you this week and have binged watched all your videos. Am already implementing some of your advice. I would be that person guilty of not having accessories and not having a variety of jackets/coats.
Welcome on board Andie and thank you for subscribing x
The golden belt with the blue jumpsuit is fab😍
Thank you for some great tips! Very helpful that you show how not to / and how to wear an outfit.
I’ve picked up so many tips from your videos! My calla shoes have just arrived and they are absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much.
Oh good, glad you like them. x
Well done video ! It makes so much sense ! Love it !
I no longer suit t-shirts or shirts tucked into denim. My go-to outfit with a nice leather belt for many decades. At 60 + I now have a muffin top that hangs over my jeans! You gave me some good style ideas. I am a new subscriber. Looking forward to seeing your other videos. Perhaps one on wearing jeans?!
Thank you for watching. I'm sure i'll do another jeans video at some point x
Excellent and helpful content, thanks Melissa!
Brilliant! My “look” has been transformed to a more youthful, modern one. Thankyou.
Your an absolute genius 👏 I've changed my shopping habits and existing wardrobe since finding your channel xxx thank you so much 💗
Another fantastic video Melissa… Agree you are the best stylist on RUclips by far. I saw myself in a few of these befores - I hadn’t been able to identify the problem but I see them clearly now thanks to you. … Too tight shirts was the biggest aha moment but there were many.
That's very nice of you to say so Sandra. I don't see myself like that at all. In fact, every time I release a new video i don't sleep well as i'm wriggled with anxiety thinking that people won't enjoy it! So your comments mean more than you think so a big thank you. xx
I love the way that you are showing the clothes!
I'm so glad!
Everyone was out today and I was able to watch another great Melissa video in peace whilst eating my dinner 😍. My guilty pleasure!
Ohhh, I don't think i've ever been someones guilty pleasure before but i'll take it, thank you!!! 😍
As always great advice, and everything makes sense🎉I need to get rid of the rest of the "befores" and purchase a good white shirt and one wide leg pants and blazer so I can be more current. Thank you Melissa for saving our looks. It is so easy to get stuck in the previous fashion era. All of a sudden you feel frumpy, although you are not sure how to change it and what is wrong with your outfit.
So true! It sounds like you know what to do though, best of luck x
@@mmpersonalstyling Thank you Melissa.
This is an excellent video Melissa thank you so much. it is so practical and makes so much sense. You were able to show small changes make such a difference. please keep them coming.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching
Your recommendations for shorts are great if your legs look good!
I used to love short shorts but I can't wear them anymore. I only want to go a little above the knee these days!
This is really helpful to see the comparisons!
OOOOh thanks - just love your tips and tricks
WOW in the 1 video I've learnt so much, thank you very much. I'm so excited to have discovered your channel.
Thank you so much. Have you watched my latest video where I dress an apple shaped lady with a larger bust live on camera? That may help you. Here's the link ruclips.net/video/Uak_fyXUpd8/видео.html
All so good, so actionable! Thanks very much.
You're very welcome!
Great video with very helpful hints, especially relevant for petites like myself. Thanks.
This was so helpful. You showed us what was wrong, but also how to fix it. Thank you
You're very welcome x
I love your content it is very informative and I love your choices of earthy and tonal colours, I have subscribed.
Thank you for subscribing, it really does make a big difference to the channel.
Love all the styling ideas in this video especially the trousers length. I found a couple of my friends have done that wrong and I was feeling embarrassing to tell them the mistakes. The best way is to share your video with them:) x
Please do share - I’d be grateful of that even if they aren’t!!! Thank you x
