Controversial …don’t hate me for asking the question!! Let me first be clear that I am totally against killing animals for their fur, but from an eco perspective isn’t it better to wear vintage real fur that’s already in circulation and the animal has already died and resources have already been used up used to make the garment, than add to the climate crisis by supporting the manufacture of fake fur using plastic, dyes and other pollutants and probably slave labour??
Actually I was curious about the same. Also shearling is the same as other items made of other types of fur. So I was curious about the distinction. I do wear shearling though, so no judgement here, just honest curiosity…
I completely agree. I will not buy “pleather” items or “vegan” leather. The greenhouse gasses to get those garments, along with spandex and polyester, are horrible for our environment. I’m cautious over what I buy now and generally try to buy secondhand first! I always opt for real leather and fur, vintage of course. But there are sustainable leather brands out there that do not kill the animal for the hide, but use the animal hides after they have been used for food. Just got to do research. Wish brands were more transparent. Absolutely will not buy new high street fashion at all. They don’t even pay a living wage for the poorest of countries.
Same with real leather shoes and bags.. funny this doesnt concern people but fur does🙃 on the other hand: there are farms where they will animals JUST FOR THE FUR and thats horrible.
I love thrifting these days. I’ve found some great blazers and sweaters this way! Also love the wide leg jeans and trousers.. they are more comfy and polished!
Thank you Leonie for this. I'm so thrilled with brown being back!!! Black is too harsh for my colouring, especially as I am in my 70s. I am snapping up everything I can find while it lasts: brown, tan, camel, beige, caramel, toffee... Four bags (two mixed with black), sweaters, dresses, boots and more boots, two pairs of cowboy boots , tan suede and black leather (Matisse), leather and suede leggings and flares, and yes, a faux fur jacket. It looks very cool with BLACK! As for the other trends, I'm petite so I'll stick to my fitted/tailored, slim and flared jeans, and yes, cropped jackets (but just to the waist.) I love your fashion attitude. Thanks again.
I have a thing for tweed jackets! I remember early 2000's tweed jacket and skirt suits were everywhere when I was out shopping. I purchased one and loved it. It has been lost over the years. I would love to pick up a jacket again!
The most comfortable cowboy boots are Ariat Heritage R-toe “deer tan” black. They are arch supportive and have rubber soles and heels. They are great to ride in as well.
Yes, love the Chanel-ish tweed jackets but I also love the essentially English tweed jackets, which we refer to as hacking jackets (very horsey) but classic. Look great with distressed denim jeans, silk scarves and rustic tan leather bags - love both looks ….
I have loved cowboy boots for 70 years!!! And now they are so in! I wear them with many styles/trends. I get the best, most beautiful ones at Free People! FP has so many different cowboy boots, I have acquired at least 6 or 8 in the last year from them. And so comfy, too! Beautifully made by hand with unique designs.
All great looks that deserve a second look! I too was not on board with tweed jackets. Always thought they looked boxy and for mature women. I recently just bought one and I love it. Paired with t-shirt and jeans, got yourself an elevated casual outfit! Love your channel and your glasses choice! Love from Canada!
Hi Leonie, I can relate to some of these so much. Brown especially. I think this year is the first year I’ve deliberately bought brown clothing. I used to only look for black or grey. And now it’s like a switch has flipped and I’m really digging it. I started with a brown pair of boots and then it has kind of grown from there. Same with wide leg jeans and cropped jackets. For the longest time I only wore longer jackets to hide my tummy and skinny jeans to show off my legs. Now I’m feeling a lot more confident and comfortable with my body and embracing things that I didn’t before. Thanks for the video and have a great day. ❤
Take a shot everytime Leonie says "wrap my head around" 🤣🤣🤣 just jokes, love your videos, tips & tricks 👍 love wide leg pants & cropped jackets together & also been an avid thrifter since I was a teen as so many gems, classics & good quality items that also help to spark creativity in style. 👌
Great video! I'm definitely a fan of thrifting but you're right it does take time. I have found so many gems through the years and just consider it a hobby. I wanted to get my teen girls some new boots for the season and both of them chose cowboy boots! I don't even think they knew it was a trend, they just like them and we live in Pennsylvania, not the country LOL. This may be common sense but once I learned it, it was very helpful to me in my closet. If I really like the latest trending color but it doesn't coordinate with the other colors in my wardrobe, I just buy a dress in that color. I prefer cool colors and my neutrals are black and navy. I bought a sweater dress in that cool toned Brown that I can't wait to wear. Back in the summer I bought a kelly green dress and a sunny yellow one as well. I love how easy they are, one and done very little styling required.
Love this topic! I love all of these, so I'm glad you came around :) Thrifting is like a treasure hunt. I actually feel that way about shopping in general, but thrifting is even more unpredictable.
I want to try a tweed jacket, brown is my new favorite lately. great video you always have really good information on styling. I have a faux fur in leopard print I love it. I would love a kelly green suit for sure
This so funny because I actually have a few of these from years ago that I saved for when they came back in style. So I guess I need to pull out my lovely Chanelesque jacket, my chocolate brown faux fur coat, and my cropped jackets!
I love brown, especially for this time of the year. I find Matisse has beautiful cowboy boots, especially if you are looking for something not too out there. One of favorite pairs is from them. 💕
I 100% would get on board with thrifting… but … only once the shops start organizing their stock by sizes, rather than by type. Can’t be bothered to go through 60 black tees trying to find one that I like AND that actually fit me. 😅
I grew up thrifting. And I am 47. I have found dresses in the thrift throwaway bins for free which I have refurbed and gotten tons of compliments from co-workers at cocktail parties. It can be really good for developing your style.
💟 Yes, I adore tweed jackets & years ago they were considered more of an elevated piece. Worn mostly in a work/office environment or for more of a dressy occasion with skirts or trousers! Now, tweed blazers & jackets are more versatile, worn as a more casual look with jeans which is fabulous! Yep, I totally relate to the suit as a more corporate attire! Years ago I bought red & black cowboy boots 2nd hand .....haven't worn them yet ....now may be the year! I love all of the fashion trends you mentioned & will enjoy wearing them this season! Thanks so much Leonie..... 💟💜💟
Loved this ❤ the glasses 👓 suit you & that dress is so lovely. Many of the trends you mentioned I am not a fan of but I love your content it’s always so informative & interesting lol 💖 here still very hot 🇮🇱🥵 waiting for the cooler weather 🙏🙏
Chocolate brown is a great color to pair with other colors, especially jewel tones. I wear my tweed or bouclé jackets with “leather” skirts, or jeans and of of my vintage band t-shirts. Thrifting has been a necessity of mine since the 80s. My family struggles financially but we didn’t want people to know. So, yard sales, flea markets, hand me downs, swapping, and charity stores were the way to go. Love from the USA.
I was brought up by a single mother and we always wore second hand clothes growing up so it was a necessity for us for a long time which is possibly why I wasn't interested for a long time. But I do enjoy it now x
@@Thestyleinsider. I can relate to that. My parents divorced when I was six and my twin brothers were two. Struggling like that can be quite traumatizing.
I've been on the fence about tweed jackets. I'm kinda looking at the black and white pattern . Would like to see how you style them. I have always loved brown 🤎 Chocolate and Carmel are my favorites.
It’s interesting to contemplate these items. I love a tweed jacket with denim, love brown but more of a cool brown for me. Do not like faux fur, too bulky and sloppy and synthetic. Wide leg? Win , just not too too wide for a short woman. Cropped jackets that emphasize a smaller waist are pretty but I don’t tend to wear them- maybe worth thinking about! Oh well, have to pass on the corset belts. Too structured or contrived? Victorian? Something I can’t quite define…😯 🤷🏼♀️ Thanks for another great video!
Hi Leonie, I actually started thrifting because of a video you did, probably in spring 2021, where you talked about how to thrift. Thrifting was a necessity for me last year, I had lost 80 lbs and could not afford to replace my wardrobe paying full price. It felt a bit weird at first, but then the thrill of the hunt got me going. (I always watch videos on trends for the upcoming season so I have a good idea of what to look for.) My very best purchase was a Michael Kors tweed blazer with leather sleeves and lapels. I didn't need another blazer, and I remember standing there in the store with these two competing thoughts: I don't need another blazer, But it's a Michael Kors, I don't need another blazer, But it's ........ I finally decided to get the blazer. AND I paid ONLY $18 for it. I absolutely LOVE it, fits me perfectly, I so enjoy wearing it. I would have had a harder time going to a thrift store if I had not seen your video. So THANK YOU! Greetings from Canada!
Bought a tweed jacket last month from urban revivo which is my first one ever! ( size up on the brand.. come in small) ❤ wear it with my oversized wide leg jeans and loving it
I have a couple of look alike Chanel jackets that I wear with jeans once the weather gets cooler! Also I’m a serious thrifter! I seem to be lucky in finding what I’m looking for! Thank you for sharing Leonie! Have a wonderful day! 🤗
Some people do tend to have a real knack for uncovering gems when they are thrifting. I'm definitely not one of them but it sounds like you are Elisabeth x
Seriously just now warming up to a Chanel style jacket!? These have never gone out of style. They are a classic, and a tweed of sort. And when you said "tweed" a completely different look came to mind. And tweed too is timeless. Cowboy boots too? They are classics too and surprised you are just warming up to classics. All of these, dressed up or dressed down and other classics mentioned I have been wearing for years. Thinking outside of the box with fashion shows creativity.
Great choice of glasses, Leonie! (You sold me on those). And your black dress is very pretty. Anyhow, I do have two tweed jackets in bright colors that I need to resurrect. And I love wide leg jeans and my blue fake fur jacket that I call my teddy bear jacket. But I've never been a fan of cowboy boots. Thanks again for another great video!
Thanks Jacqueline - I love how light weight this pair is too - hardly feels like I'm wearing them. Esp when I wear them for hours and hours sitting editing videos at my computer x
I always loved the Chanel type tweed jacket and you can find women of all ages wearing that from 18-90. Where can you get this - Ann Taylor at a reliably low price point. Keep checking and get for 60% off!
I adore the corset belts & I'm getting myself one ASAP. I will pass on the 'brown ' trend though, just don’t see myself in a brown coat or blazer because it's just so dull.
My big objection to the Chanel-style jacket is the round neckline, they don’t suit my face and figure and are hard to style. So, I look for classic, notched V-lapels/collars in tweed jackets, instead, they are much less mature- and prim-looking. I also avoid most fancy buttons, it’s hard to dress down jackets that have them. I love a classic blazer, but most people dress super-casually, in gym wear, where I live, so I don’t want to overdo it.
Brown got me really excited to buy again. I got really tanned for the first time in my life from daily swimming. I find the I can wear camel and latte color now. I still don’t like too much red or orange in the brown but I do love most of the brown family hues.
Luv ur videos!! Have been thrifting for many years! Always luv'd designer brands so I can buy costly clothes at affordable prices in thrift stores. I learned to look for good deals not specific items works best. Faux fur jackets are really great now, soft and good quality! Luv 'em! Thanks for many great ideas!! Ur videos are so great 👍😃!!!!
When you do your winter video, could you please add some items for people in Manitoba, Canada? Our temperatures go down to - 40 to -50 degrees so it's difficult to look stylish.
1. tweed- alway loved; my favorite characters like Whitney (Different World), Hillary (Fresh Prince of Belair) wore these items and I grew up with the women in my family dress in these fabrics, 2.corset belts:always loved because of having a large chest I always went for very wide belts and I have some that are over 25 years old. 3. Brown clothing (have to love brown, it the color of my skin. LOL!) Long as it not a UPS uniform, I have always been all in. It a color of leather, in my shoes, belts, handbag and a much welcome change to wearing black clothing in the cold season, it really a color of nature. What I can't get around is wearing black with brown. But I will be trying this. 4.Faux Fur-alway loved (could not afford the real one). You like my daughter, even as a teen, no fur on hoodie or collar for her (use to piss me off because she would remove them even if it meant taking scissor to it). I bought a fake mink one from TJMaxx for about $100 over 16 years ago and I still have it. Because I am a thrifter, I have gotten my hands on the real thing finally. I feel better buying them second hand, because of price and don't want them to end up in the landfills. They are stylish and really really keep you warm. 5. Suiting- always because this was my work uniform, I always worked in an office, also found them great also for club wearing just a bra or sheer top underneath (I still have most of my suits) and wear them to church. What is newer for me is that I have thrifted men suits and blazers and I love the oversize of it. 6.Yee Haw-Cowboy boots-Always just could not afford them. Then other influencers were stating how they were thrifting them and I went and made a killing buying them for like $10 because no one was looking for them at that time but no more than $25. These boots new with geniune material selling retail way in the hundreds of dollar market and that was even 40 years ago. 7. Thrifting- Helloooo, 😁you already know that my jam. It is hard for me to even think of buying retail now and some time It better than shopping off their clearance racks at time (but I do check out my favorite retail shops instore clearance, blue moon). 8. Crop jacket-always and I have them still in my wardrobe but they are a difficult wear for me with the humongus chest and now a thickening waist. I am more likey to wear those that stop right at my waistline and not any high (until I trim down). But I am still a fan. Have you found the right jacket to crop yet? I know you on the lookout, get to thrifting there missy. 9.Wide leg pants-always been a fan and my closet is full of them, put some heels under them and they give you legs for days. Back in the 80s I made money narrowing wide leg pants during college but I knew the wide legs were coming back they been around since the black and white movies. 10. Shearling-Always could not afford fur but did invest in buying my first one at Wilson leathers 30 years ago, I got the hat, and the gloves. There is nothing like them to beat off the cold with a more rugged casual flare. Where I live it nothing for it to be below zero temps and I grew up in the South so cannot take the cold and you can stand out all day in these geniune shearlings because nothing coming through. My mouth drop at the jacket at 16:06 😮 You know that you definitly need to to a styling video because they are so far in between and I really like when you do them.
Hello there, Cowboy boots are a classic, splurge it’s worth it. I’ve worn cowboy boots since I’ve been in my teens. Go to a western shop. Love corset belts , always have. I cannot wear brown , it doesn’t go well with my silver grey hair. Do not care for faux fur or any kind of fur. Suits are amazing, but, it’s not my life anymore. The best thing is the thrill of the hunt when you go thrifting. Again been doing that since I was a young girl and still love it. Not thrilled with cropped jackets, never worn them. I love wide leg jeans, pants, trousers etc. Hard NO on the sterling. Great video
Hi I have always worn corset belts but it would have been great if you had shown different versions as you only shown the corset style belt that is designer's it's a stunning belt if I could afford it even better but it would have been nice to see others that maybe available say COS, that maybe on the high street 😊
Great video -- thank you Leonie! The glasses frames look good on you but I find the reflections distracting. Might you consider getting anti-reflective lenses?
Sorry about the reflection - I have had non-reflective lenses before and I could never keep them clean so that's the only reason I don't opt for them. Not ideal when shooting a video but otherwise I do prefer non-reflective :)
i love real fur and i own mink and beaver coats. i still wear and nothing is warmer. Thank you for all of the fashion updates. great info I like Frye boots.
I think I'm getting into the chanel tweed mood but I'm still resisting a purchace.This season I'm digging out my old yet gorgeous leather cowboy boots ANd I'll be wearing them with a midi dress😁I'm too old to worry about what other people think😅
Like the tweed, play on classic Channel, jackets. Love wide leg jeans, hated skinny jeans, so unflattering. Been wearing them, wide, the whole time. Shouldn’t, I’m under five foot, don’t care. Must start wearing my 35 year old cowboy boots. They are Cole Hahn and beautiful . Thanks
1. Tweed jackets - love the material and styling them down, a lot of the cuts seem dowdy though 2. Corset belts - no no no 3. Brown - I refuse to consider this a trend, it's too much of a staple 4. Faux fur - love it 5. Suiting - I love the trend of wearing suits casually; not a fan of some of the boxy and oversized looks 6. Cowboy boots - I don't hate them but I don't wear them myself, just not my style 7. Thrifting - mixed feelings. I'm glad that thrifting online is getting so much easier and that more stuff is getting reused, but sad that there's more competition :( 8. Cropped jackets - I don't find them flattering on me but maybe I just don't know how to wear them! 9. Wide jeans - don't hate them, don't love them 10. Shearling - love it when it's faux
I do love a tweed jacket, also have a faux fur black coat and love it so soft feels beautiful to wear, do like the trend of suits, can’t do cowboy boots definitely not a fan.
Had to buy my cowboy boots used, went to a boot store and they had trade in special, I dug out the perfect pair from the trade in box. Its been 12 years and I still get comments every time I wear them!
I love you and your channel! One of the things that makes your channel different (at least since I started watching) is that you provide links to purchase some of the items shown. I was a little disappointed…you highlighted some really good items. Maybe your next video. You’re still awesome!!
That's great to hear thanks Yolanda. I never know whether those links are valuable or not and I don't want people to feel I am pushing them to buy but it's good to know they are well received so thank you x
Leoni-have you seen any maxi-length winter coats -I’m searching for a long winter coat to wear over skirts and dresses. Not puffer. Too casual. Thank you!
I love the concept of thirsting but I cant stand it. As a size 16 it's hard to find pieces and takes too long. But I've discovered online thrifting like poshmark etc and I like it a lot!
Leonie I'd love to know what you think about mid rise jeans vs high rise jeans or pants. I'm team mid rise because I find they flatter my figure. Even before mid rise was a thing. Mens Levi's Jeans were the best fit for me. Just to be clear I'm not talking about low rise. High rise just make me look funny. Can't put my finger on it. Thank you L . Always appreciate your videos.
All of these i already loved except cowboy boots. I dont think so oh and shearling jackets, in SF not much needed. Love Tweed jackets, dresses. Have quite a few Chanel. Sold some, just because color preference changing. Like right now, i was influenced by Chanel tweed quad collection, i am looking to get vintage Chanel jacket , in those fall colors 🤪😂 Have a blessed day🙏🧡
Hi Leonie- my daughter got me into thrifting. I have found a few gems and I hunt for things I would not normally buy in the stores whereas my daughter builds her seasonal closet from there. There are a few pieces that have stayed in her closet permanently.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, I enjoy watching your videos very much. If I could ask you a question regarding the tweed jackets, please. I find it very difficult to find the right fit. I'm medium tall, of the normal weight and usually I wear the 12-14 Australian size (which looks oversized on me :)) The problem which I have is my shoulders are fairly broad, while the hips are quite narrow. When I choose a jacket, it's a real problem, because none of them would fit properly (too tight at the top, too lose at the bottom). Would you have any brand suggestions, which would have a bit more generous fit, please? Thank you very much for your advice.
I have a question to the wide leg jeans. I have a big tummy and cannot put my shirt in the trousers. What would you recommend to me concerning the trousers? Because of the balance I mean….
Got into brown last year. Cowboy boots nope corset belts no suiting I love the look but I just don’t have a lifestyle for it. What faux fur coats are timeless. I don’t like puffer jackets. I use to thrift but now it seem yucky because of pandemic. Tweeds I would love to see how u style them Love your videos 🦋
To me.. spending the extra money to put anti reflect coating on lenses is as important as picking the right frames. All that glare and reflection makes any pair look cheap.
Hello Leonie! Love all your glasses! You look so fabulous with glasses. I wish I did not have to wear them. They are okay on me but not fabulous! Lol I love all the trends! I believe I mentioned that I love my cowboy boots. I have had them for over 25 years! You can go online to Double M western store. They only thing about cowboy boots you have to go try them on. Your heel should slip very slightly to get a good fit then it molds to your feet. I am a huge fan of shearling and faux fur. I have some friends that have a company called Pretty Rugged the faux fur is beyond amazing and waterproof. I feel like you would love what they have! They are going to be on Shark Tank Friday October 21st 8pm eastern time. I live in Albany, the capital of New York. 🤗

Yes, yes and yes!

Four bags (two mixed with black), sweaters, dresses, boots and more boots, two pairs of cowboy boots , tan suede and black leather (Matisse), leather and suede leggings and flares, and yes, a faux fur jacket. It looks very cool with BLACK!
As for the other trends, I'm petite so I'll stick to my fitted/tailored, slim and flared jeans, and yes, cropped jackets (but just to the waist.)

Thank you for another fabulous video! Yes, I do like tweed jackets! Would love to see your new tweed jackets and how you style them!
I'm doing a little try on in my next video and I'm still not sure so would love some help deciding x
I have a thing for tweed jackets! I remember early 2000's tweed jacket and skirt suits were everywhere when I was out shopping. I purchased one and loved it. It has been lost over the years. I would love to pick up a jacket again!

I think Zara has them, or they did a few weeks ago.
This so funny because I actually have a few of these from years ago that I saved for when they came back in style. So I guess I need to pull out my lovely Chanelesque jacket, my chocolate brown faux fur coat, and my cropped jackets!
I love brown, especially for this time of the year.
I find Matisse has beautiful cowboy boots, especially if you are looking for something not too out there. One of favorite pairs is from them. 💕
Oh thanks so much for sharing I will definitely take a look at Matisse - thanks x

Ariat cowboy boots are the most comfortable I have owned & they have rubber soles so no slipping!
I grew up thrifting. And I am 47. I have found dresses in the thrift throwaway bins for free which I have refurbed and gotten tons of compliments from co-workers at cocktail parties. It can be really good for developing your style.
💟 Yes, I adore tweed
jackets & years ago they were considered more of an elevated piece. Worn mostly in a work/office environment or for more of a dressy occasion with skirts or trousers! Now, tweed blazers & jackets are more versatile, worn as a more casual look with jeans which is fabulous! Yep, I totally relate to the suit as a more corporate attire!

Thanks so much Leonie.....
💟💜💟
I'd be bringing out those red & black cowboy boots if I was you Linda x
And we called them Chanel jackets. The examples shown didnt qualify as tweed in my mind...
Yes for a video of how to style a tweed jacket 😍😍😍😍😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I have a full length faux fur. Everyone comes up to pet me and store clerks treat me great.
Hi ! no to wide legs, and yes to Shearling !! Lovely work once again, and thank you
Thank you!
Chocolate brown is a great color to pair with other colors, especially jewel tones.
I wear my tweed or bouclé jackets with “leather” skirts, or jeans and of of my vintage band t-shirts.
Thrifting has been a necessity of mine since the 80s. My family struggles financially but we didn’t want people to know. So, yard sales, flea markets, hand me downs, swapping, and charity stores were the way to go.
Love from the USA.
I was brought up by a single mother and we always wore second hand clothes growing up so it was a necessity for us for a long time which is possibly why I wasn't interested for a long time. But I do enjoy it now x
@@Thestyleinsider. I can relate to that. My parents divorced when I was six and my twin brothers were two. Struggling like that can be quite traumatizing.
Thank You Leonie for this inspiring Video. I love everything here. All these Pretty Fall Colors, Tweeds Jackets or blazers , Boots and Thrifting.
So glad! Thanks for watching Rose x
I've been on the fence about tweed jackets. I'm kinda looking at the black and white pattern . Would like to see how you style them.
I have always loved brown 🤎 Chocolate and Carmel are my favorites.
I'm wearing a few in tomorrow's video - eek!
It’s interesting to contemplate these items. I love a tweed jacket with denim, love brown but more of a cool brown for me. Do not like faux fur, too bulky and sloppy and synthetic. Wide leg? Win , just not too too wide for a short woman. Cropped jackets that emphasize a smaller waist are pretty but I don’t tend to wear them- maybe worth thinking about! Oh well, have to pass on the corset belts. Too structured or contrived? Victorian? Something I can’t quite define…😯 🤷🏼♀️ Thanks for another great video!
I’d love to see how to pair tweed jackets with your existing wardrobe Leonie!
Stay tuned for tomorrow's video - eek!
I have all of these in my collection, and I am so ready to pull them out and possibly purchase more. Thank you for your insight and confirmation.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Leonie, I actually started thrifting because of a video you did, probably in spring 2021, where you talked about how to thrift. Thrifting was a necessity for me last year, I had lost 80 lbs and could not afford to replace my wardrobe paying full price. It felt a bit weird at first, but then the thrill of the hunt got me going. (I always watch videos on trends for the upcoming season so I have a good idea of what to look for.)
My very best purchase was a Michael Kors tweed blazer with leather sleeves and lapels. I didn't need another blazer, and I remember standing there in the store with these two competing thoughts: I don't need another blazer, But it's a Michael Kors, I don't need another blazer, But it's ........ I finally decided to get the blazer. AND I paid ONLY $18 for it. I absolutely LOVE it, fits me perfectly, I so enjoy wearing it.
I would have had a harder time going to a thrift store if I had not seen your video. So THANK YOU! Greetings from Canada!
Oh wow that’s fantastic - I’m so pleased I helped you jump on the thrifting band wagon 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thx for letting me know 😊
Bought a tweed jacket last month from urban revivo which is my first one ever! ( size up on the brand.. come in small) ❤ wear it with my oversized wide leg jeans and loving it
Thanks for sharing!!
I have a couple of look alike Chanel jackets that I wear with jeans once the weather gets cooler! Also I’m a serious thrifter! I seem to be lucky in finding what I’m looking for! Thank you for sharing Leonie! Have a wonderful day! 🤗
Some people do tend to have a real knack for uncovering gems when they are thrifting. I'm definitely not one of them but it sounds like you are Elisabeth x
I love all the trends you have mentioned although I haven’t had much success with thrifting.
Yes it's def not easy that's for sure!
Seriously just now warming up to a Chanel style jacket!? These have never gone out of style. They are a classic, and a tweed of sort. And when you said "tweed" a completely different look came to mind. And tweed too is timeless.
Cowboy boots too? They are classics too and surprised you are just warming up to classics.
All of these, dressed up or dressed down and other classics mentioned I have been wearing for years. Thinking outside of the box with fashion shows creativity.
Yes they were seriously not my style!!!
Could you please do a wide-leg jean video? As in what type/style for different body types as well as what shoes and tops pair well with them.
Cowboy boots with dress or jeans is what I would wear. I am investing in a pair of Doc,also versatile and I figure they will be kind of a classic.
Docs are definitely classics in my eyes :)
I agree with you on some and don't agree on others. Wide-leg pants are my go-to shape. I totally agree with that one
Great choice of glasses, Leonie! (You sold me on those). And your black dress is very pretty.
Anyhow, I do have two tweed jackets in bright colors that I need to resurrect. And I love wide leg jeans and my blue fake fur jacket that I call my teddy bear jacket. But I've never been a fan of cowboy boots. Thanks again for another great video!
Thanks Jacqueline - I love how light weight this pair is too - hardly feels like I'm wearing them. Esp when I wear them for hours and hours sitting editing videos at my computer x
Great video Leonie! That thrifted puffer best looks amazing on you!!
Thank you!! 😊 It was such a great find but I have almost 100 percent lost it to my son's wardrobe now LOL x
I buy my cowboy boots from Cavenders in Texas. All brands are there.
Thanks Karla x
Absolutely love your channel! So enjoyable to grab ideas and see some things I’ve tried like cutting off my white jeans that were too long🙂.
So glad Annie! x
I always loved the Chanel type tweed jacket and you can find women of all ages wearing that from 18-90. Where can you get this - Ann Taylor at a reliably low price point. Keep checking and get for 60% off!
Beautiful black dress and cat eye glasses🦋
Thank you x
I adore the corset belts & I'm getting myself one ASAP. I will pass on the 'brown ' trend though, just don’t see myself in a brown coat or blazer because it's just so dull.
My big objection to the Chanel-style jacket is the round neckline, they don’t suit my face and figure and are hard to style. So, I look for classic, notched V-lapels/collars in tweed jackets, instead, they are much less mature- and prim-looking. I also avoid most fancy buttons, it’s hard to dress down jackets that have them. I love a classic blazer, but most people dress super-casually, in gym wear, where I live, so I don’t want to overdo it.
LOVE your channel, always has good advise and ideas
Brown got me really excited to buy again. I got really tanned for the first time in my life from daily swimming. I find the I can wear camel and latte color now. I still don’t like too much red or orange in the brown but I do love most of the brown family hues.
Great video, I would wear any of these except wide leg cropped jeans.
Fair enough!
Those glasses fit you perfectly.
Thank you x
Luv ur videos!! Have been thrifting for many years! Always luv'd designer brands so I can buy costly clothes at affordable prices in thrift stores. I learned to look for good deals not specific items works best. Faux fur jackets are really great now, soft and good quality! Luv 'em! Thanks for many great ideas!! Ur videos are so great 👍😃!!!!
Thank you so much Janice x
Would love to see your ideas of tweed jackets as i have one from over 20 years ago.
Yes please show us tweed I love them but hard to decide how to use with many outfits.
I like the tweed skirt worn with a sweatshirt, combat boots, or just with a sweater and boots/Dr. Martens.
That's a very cool look!
Love shopping on eBay!!! Thrifting on line 😅 and tweed jackets are wonderful ..
Me too!!
When you do your winter video, could you please add some items for people in Manitoba, Canada? Our temperatures go down to - 40 to -50 degrees so it's difficult to look stylish.
Oh my goodness that is COLD brrrrrr - will def try x
1. tweed- alway loved; my favorite characters like Whitney (Different World), Hillary (Fresh Prince of Belair) wore these items and I grew up with the women in my family dress in these fabrics,
2.corset belts:always loved because of having a large chest I always went for very wide belts and I have some that are over 25 years old.
3. Brown clothing (have to love brown, it the color of my skin. LOL!) Long as it not a UPS uniform, I have always been all in. It a color of leather, in my shoes, belts, handbag and a much welcome change to wearing black clothing in the cold season, it really a color of nature. What I can't get around is wearing black with brown. But I will be trying this.
4.Faux Fur-alway loved (could not afford the real one). You like my daughter, even as a teen, no fur on hoodie or collar for her (use to piss me off because she would remove them even if it meant taking scissor to it). I bought a fake mink one from TJMaxx for about $100 over 16 years ago and I still have it. Because I am a thrifter, I have gotten my hands on the real thing finally. I feel better buying them second hand, because of price and don't want them to end up in the landfills. They are stylish and really really keep you warm.
5. Suiting- always because this was my work uniform, I always worked in an office, also found them great also for club wearing just a bra or sheer top underneath (I still have most of my suits) and wear them to church. What is newer for me is that I have thrifted men suits and blazers and I love the oversize of it.
6.Yee Haw-Cowboy boots-Always just could not afford them. Then other influencers were stating how they were thrifting them and I went and made a killing buying them for like $10 because no one was looking for them at that time but no more than $25. These boots new with geniune material selling retail way in the hundreds of dollar market and that was even 40 years ago.
7. Thrifting- Helloooo, 😁you already know that my jam. It is hard for me to even think of buying retail now and some time It better than shopping off their clearance racks at time (but I do check out my favorite retail shops instore clearance, blue moon).
8. Crop jacket-always and I have them still in my wardrobe but they are a difficult wear for me with the humongus chest and now a thickening waist. I am more likey to wear those that stop right at my waistline and not any high (until I trim down). But I am still a fan. Have you found the right jacket to crop yet? I know you on the lookout, get to thrifting there missy.
9.Wide leg pants-always been a fan and my closet is full of them, put some heels under them and they give you legs for days. Back in the 80s I made money narrowing wide leg pants during college but I knew the wide legs were coming back they been around since the black and white movies.
10. Shearling-Always could not afford fur but did invest in buying my first one at Wilson leathers 30 years ago, I got the hat, and the gloves. There is nothing like them to beat off the cold with a more rugged casual flare. Where I live it nothing for it to be below zero temps and I grew up in the South so cannot take the cold and you can stand out all day in these geniune shearlings because nothing coming through. My mouth drop at the jacket at 16:06 😮
You know that you definitly need to to a styling video because they are so far in between and I really like when you do them.
I'm wearing a few pieces in tomorrow's video and will definitely start doing this more often so watch this space lol x
I agree with everything you said..i waited for that subject...thank you...thank you .
So glad!
Hello there,
Cowboy boots are a classic, splurge it’s worth it. I’ve worn cowboy boots since I’ve been in my teens. Go to a western shop.
Love corset belts , always have.
I cannot wear brown , it doesn’t go well with my silver grey hair.
Do not care for faux fur or any kind of fur.
Suits are amazing, but, it’s not my life anymore.
The best thing is the thrill of the hunt when you go thrifting. Again been doing that since I was a young girl and still love it.
Not thrilled with cropped jackets, never worn them.
I love wide leg jeans, pants, trousers etc.
Hard NO on the sterling.
Great video
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Analy x
I would like to see how you style the tweed jacket. I almost donated a beautiful vintage jacket - so glad I didn't.
Would love to see how you style tweed jackets!
Hi I have always worn corset belts but it would have been great if you had shown different versions as you only shown the corset style belt that is designer's it's a stunning belt if I could afford it even better but it would have been nice to see others that maybe available say COS, that maybe on the high street 😊
Great video -- thank you Leonie! The glasses frames look good on you but I find the reflections distracting. Might you consider getting anti-reflective lenses?
Sorry about the reflection - I have had non-reflective lenses before and I could never keep them clean so that's the only reason I don't opt for them. Not ideal when shooting a video but otherwise I do prefer non-reflective :)
I just bought a House of Harlow tweed blazer last week. I absolutely love it!
Sounds great!
i love real fur and i own mink and beaver coats. i still wear and nothing is warmer. Thank you for all of the fashion updates. great info I like Frye boots.
Thanks for sharing Vicki!!
I think I'm getting into the chanel tweed mood but I'm still resisting a purchace.This season I'm digging out my old yet gorgeous leather cowboy boots ANd I'll be wearing them with a midi dress😁I'm too old to worry about what other people think😅
Love that! I'm too old to care too x
Always enjoy your videos ❣️
I'm so glad!
Like the tweed, play on classic Channel, jackets. Love wide leg jeans, hated skinny jeans, so unflattering. Been wearing them, wide, the whole time. Shouldn’t, I’m under five foot, don’t care. Must start wearing my 35 year old cowboy boots. They are Cole Hahn and beautiful . Thanks
Love the sound of your boots Lynn x
Massimo Dutti has a fantastic pair of full length cowboy boots in black this season. They are expensive but maybe if you wait for the sale…
Ooh I'll check them out thank you x
This was such an awesome episode, thank you! I have to say how much I adore the dress you’re wearing OMG, stunning❤️🤗
Thank you so much Terri!!
This video is everything. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
1. Tweed jackets - love the material and styling them down, a lot of the cuts seem dowdy though
2. Corset belts - no no no
3. Brown - I refuse to consider this a trend, it's too much of a staple
4. Faux fur - love it
5. Suiting - I love the trend of wearing suits casually; not a fan of some of the boxy and oversized looks
6. Cowboy boots - I don't hate them but I don't wear them myself, just not my style
7. Thrifting - mixed feelings. I'm glad that thrifting online is getting so much easier and that more stuff is getting reused, but sad that there's more competition :(
8. Cropped jackets - I don't find them flattering on me but maybe I just don't know how to wear them!
9. Wide jeans - don't hate them, don't love them
10. Shearling - love it when it's faux
I do love a tweed jacket, also have a faux fur black coat and love it so soft feels beautiful to wear, do like the trend of suits, can’t do cowboy boots definitely not a fan.
I love thrift store it is like treasure hunting. I will be thrifty for tweed. I got rid of all of mine several years back
Love tweed jackets!!!
Oh that's good to know - I'm trying on a few in my next video!
Yes. Please style a tweed jacket 😊
Keep an eye out on tomorrow's video - eek!
Great Cowboy boots at Heritage Boots & Allen Boots both in Austin, TX
Thx ☺️
Had to buy my cowboy boots used, went to a boot store and they had trade in special, I dug out the perfect pair from the trade in box. Its been 12 years and I still get comments every time I wear them!
Love your eyeglasses.
Thank you Pat!
I love you and your channel! One of the things that makes your channel different (at least since I started watching) is that you provide links to purchase some of the items shown. I was a little disappointed…you highlighted some really good items. Maybe your next video. You’re still awesome!!
That's great to hear thanks Yolanda. I never know whether those links are valuable or not and I don't want people to feel I am pushing them to buy but it's good to know they are well received so thank you x
Leoni-have you seen any maxi-length winter coats -I’m searching for a long winter coat to wear over skirts and dresses. Not puffer. Too casual. Thank you!
Thanks 🙏🏻 ❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊
Brown is much more flattering than black on most women, I’m one of them. I like all natural colors like soft beiges, browns, greens, etc.
I would love to see you style tweed jackets.
I love the concept of thirsting but I cant stand it. As a size 16 it's hard to find pieces and takes too long. But I've discovered online thrifting like poshmark etc and I like it a lot!
I love Poshmark. I also love Thread Up. I found some Thursday Boot Co boots on there for almost 50% off.
I totally agree!
A styling of tweed jackets would be great!
Leonie I'd love to know what you think about mid rise jeans vs high rise jeans or pants. I'm team mid rise because I find they flatter my figure. Even before mid rise was a thing. Mens Levi's Jeans were the best fit for me. Just to be clear I'm not talking about low rise. High rise just make me look funny. Can't put my finger on it. Thank you L . Always appreciate your videos.
All of these i already loved except cowboy boots. I dont think so oh and shearling jackets, in SF not much needed. Love Tweed jackets, dresses. Have quite a few Chanel. Sold some, just because color preference changing. Like right now, i was influenced by Chanel tweed quad collection, i am looking to get vintage Chanel jacket , in those fall colors 🤪😂 Have a blessed day🙏🧡
Thank you Giedre!
Thrift for possom wool sweater. Only in NZ. If people are short waisted wouldn't a crop hit at a lower level anyway.
Hi Leonie- my daughter got me into thrifting. I have found a few gems and I hunt for things I would not normally buy in the stores whereas my daughter builds her seasonal closet from there. There are a few pieces that have stayed in her closet permanently.
That is awesome!
Hi! Love the background.
You have good taste thanks for Share with us
My pleasure 😊
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, I enjoy watching your videos very much. If I could ask you a question regarding the tweed jackets, please. I find it very difficult to find the right fit. I'm medium tall, of the normal weight and usually I wear the 12-14 Australian size (which looks oversized on me :)) The problem which I have is my shoulders are fairly broad, while the hips are quite narrow. When I choose a jacket, it's a real problem, because none of them would fit properly (too tight at the top, too lose at the bottom). Would you have any brand suggestions, which would have a bit more generous fit, please? Thank you very much for your advice.
I have a question to the wide leg jeans. I have a big tummy and cannot put my shirt in the trousers. What would you recommend to me concerning the trousers? Because of the balance I mean….
Got into brown last year. Cowboy boots nope corset belts no suiting I love the look but I just don’t have a lifestyle for it. What faux fur coats are timeless. I don’t like puffer jackets. I use to thrift but now it seem yucky because of pandemic. Tweeds I would love to see how u style them Love your videos 🦋
That's an interesting point about thrifting and the pandemic - I know a few people who feel the same.
I would love to see you crop some items…great video
Will do!!
To me.. spending the extra money to put anti reflect coating on lenses is as important as picking the right frames. All that glare and reflection makes any pair look cheap.
That's interesting!
Hello Leonie! Love all your glasses! You look so fabulous with glasses. I wish I did not have to wear them. They are okay on me but not fabulous! Lol
I love all the trends! I believe I mentioned that I love my cowboy boots. I have had them for over 25 years! You can go online to Double M western store. They only thing about cowboy boots you have to go try them on. Your heel should slip very slightly to get a good fit then it molds to your feet. I am a huge fan of shearling and faux fur. I have some friends that have a company called Pretty Rugged the faux fur is beyond amazing and waterproof. I feel like you would love what they have! They are going to be on Shark Tank Friday October 21st 8pm eastern time. I live in Albany, the capital of New York. 🤗
Thanks Megan and wow I love Shark Tank. Will try and track down that episode once it has aired. Thanks for sharing x
