Years ago, my roommate was about to reuse an old toaster oven that had previously caught fire. Unable to talk her out of it, I packed a suitcase with my most essential items and waited in the apartment lobby until she called to confirm that she'd finished cooking and nothing happened. It's one way to really find out what you consider most essential in your wardrobe and your life.
I had to evacuate from my home this march and I squeezed my absolute favourite things into one suitcase.
I am back home now, thankfully, but I still remember what I packed then.
This is a bizarre and funny story. 😂
This story will now be in my head forever- what a wacky roommate, are you still friends?!
Your roommate sounds... delightful.
😆 I’m so glad you’re here to recount this!
I am 59 and recently decided to change my style instead of trying to hold on to clothes that don’t fit and may never fit, even though I am exercising. That has been a good experience.
Hi Audrey! You could create a series of “ how to dress for…” and pick the occasion. For example “how to dress for a funeral” . I would love to watch a series like that in your channel, I would really look forward for your insight. Love your content
Yes!! This is a brilliant idea!
Yess pleaseee.
I want to watch these!!! Wedding guest, funeral! That would be so helpful!
Yes, please. Date night, wedding, bridal shower, coffee, luncheon/brunch, formal, informal
Great video I am starting to rebuild my wardrobe after losing weight and this was really helpful x
If I lost all my clothes now I would be in deep trouble because currently you can only buy shirts/blouses that are either super long and meant to be worn tucked or are cropped extremely short (all meant to be worn with high rise pants) and those look terrible on me. I just hope I can make the ones I have last long enough for the trends to change again. (At which point those who look better in tucked shirts will be in trouble.) I cannot for the life of me understand why fashion has to mean all stores offering only the exact same style to all people of all shapes and tastes... Why can't they keep at least a small part of the selection "off-trend", for those of us who care more about what actually looks good on us than being trendy?
Thinking of what you'd purchase starting from scratch is a great help with decluttering, because asking myself, "Would I buy this again?" quickly separates items I love from those that are just 'ho-hum' to be put in a 'maybe, maybe' pile and can consider donating. The end result will be a wardrobe I really love. Very helpful video, thank you!
I think “would I buy this second hand?”. Sadly I have put into my cart items I donated.
Love this video Audrey! The title caught my attention for sure. My suitcase with 90% of my most loved work and play clothes was stolen from the car my coworkers and I rented on a business trip years ago. I felt so “lost” after the incident having to build a new wardrobe because I had really put a lot of time and thought into the pieces I bought (bargain hunting, etc.) It’s funny how our clothes are so much part of our identity and losing them feels like losing part of ourselves.
As a stylist, I too enjoy the wardrobe basics but accessories , like scarves or pins, worn in a multitude of ways, are what sets your personality apart from the pack. One size fits all, and the costs are minimal.
I started emptying my closets yesterday ohh my goodness most everything could be gone and I wouldn't miss it!! I turned 56 this year and I'm really going by your suggestions/tips and starting a new wardrobe
Audrey on a Wednesday?! Bless! 🥰
I'm so scared of losing my suitcase while traveling 😫 but then again...a justified shopping spree😂
What an awesome way to identify your most loved pieces! Kind of like an “emergency preparedness” idea but for clothes.
I think mine would be:
-a roll-tab utility button down shirt. I love these! I’d get short sleeve or 3/4 sleeve so I can use it warm weather and layer it during cold weather
- a flutter-sleeve blouse. A little boho, a little feminine. Can pair easily with bottoms.
-A waist high midi skirt. I love skirts.
-a boho peasant skirt
-a long dress
-Ankle boots, like Thursday boots. My favorite are the slip on style
- Tom’s wedges
- Taos sandals
- wooden necklace
-statement earrings, and gold earrings
-a silk scarf and a wool fedora. These are staples all year round in my closet.
Beautiful suggestions! I'm trying to rebuild my wardrobe for various reasons and I get easily overwhelmed, so starting with basic functional pieces is a great reminder.
It can definitely be overwhelming so yes I think starting with the basics is the key and then it's nice to add more unique & fun pieces as well. Something with patterns is a must as well in my opinion
Good luck. Enjoy to have fun with it!
@@yifatjovani333 Thank you for the advice, I will add some fun pieces too! :)
@@corilewis Yes!!!😍
@@yifatjovani333 It can be overwhelming if your wardrobe is full of basics too. I have two t-shirt drawers, organised by sleeve length, collar type, colour and season. Turtlenecks are the hardest thing to part with.
@@polishtheday I 💯 agree. I believe to create your optimal wardrobe you want to have a mix of both basics & unique & prints then with this variety you can have ease creating many different outfit looks!
The skirt and blazer outfit, to my eye, looks like you are missing your pants. Not sure if that is because the length is the same on both pieces and the all black makes it look like a long shirt instead of two pieces? I love all of your videos and tips. Thank you for all of your help.
Straight leg jeans…medium to dark wash. White button up shirt, white long sleeve tee, loafers, blazer or cardigan, linen dresses for hot weather, white short sleeve V neck tees.
This is a good idea. I live in a climate with three distinct seasons - hot, humid summers, very cold winters, and in between weather in the spring/fall. A few pieces work as crossovers between fall/winter/spring, but I would need to create a least three lists. They would work when going on vacation to places with different climates too.
The most essential thing in winter would be a long warm down coat and some boots rated to -30 Celsius.
Flare black pants? Straight? Both maybe. Skirts longer for most. Very young skirt or black tights or something. Black & white. T colors? Blouses? Blazers❤
Interesting, I would add a waterproof warm coat and replace the boat neck with a Vneck I have a bigger bust, and a couple of lightweight merino wool jumpers to layer.
This is a good exercise! I have a pretty good sense of what works on me and what doesn’t, but really narrowing it down like this helps you understand exactly what you reach for the most! Thank you for a great video, and as always, really good advice!
Where do you shop?
After losing 40 lbs this is basically i started over
All my blacks first
Then jeans
Then tops
Wow, I really love this video and the idea itself. I also love the pieces you chose! They have a modern, youthful edge to them that suits you perfectly! LOVELY! ❤️🥰
🤣 Very timely video! I didn't lose all of my clothes, I lost most of me. I have now reached 200 pounds lost (I didn't start at 200 pounds and get back to my early adult figure, I LOST 200 pounds). So I have both the joy and the challenge of starting all over again. My list is slightly different than yours, but the idea translates perfectly for me. Thanks for the tips, and keep up the great content!
200 lbs is something to celebrate in a big way. Best of luck on your new style journey.
@@polishtheday Thanks!
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 Thanks!
Congratulations!! I know when I started on the keto diet and went from a size 16-18-20 to a size 6-8 and for the first time ever wanted my body to look nice and not just hide it completely -- thatʻs when I started watching capsule wardrobe videos. I had to completely redo the way I thought and dressed, and wanted to look like I lived in the 2020s, not the 1980s.
@@SusanBame Congrats yourself! It feels amazing 🤩 to finally like yourself! 🤗
I love cigarette pants. I love your style and simplicity. I am also adjusting my style
Today I bought two pairs of Levi's keeping in mind the tips from your previous videos and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase! I'm currently trying to choose my wardrobe essentials with consideration and you have been very helpful, thank you so much 💛
I'm starting to notice that the things I find essential- and gravitate towards the most- are neutral colors (which probably isn't that much of a surprise in some aspects). Taking away the instance of brown being a hot, trendy color for the fall season, there's just something very classic and timeless about the color in general. I'd also say the same for black and white, so naturally, I'd say that those three colors tend to make up the core of my style. Thank you for making this video, Audrey! 😊
Welcome back Audrey. It's so nice to see you in cropped pants and mini skirts again. You seem to have recovered your enthusiasm. 😉 The longer wide leg pants overwhelmed your petite frame. You look great in your favorite clothes. 😍
Not my style at all but I'm here because you calm me. :) You speak so well. :)
Thank you for another very helpful video! You have such a pleasant and clear communication style, and I'm especially grateful for your consistent attention to balancing fashion and function; we should be able to look good AND feel comfortable, no matter where we go or what we do.
Love it Audrey !
Thank you so much !
Love from France 🇫🇷

While I think black looks incredibly classy, it can also look incredibly common and very casual. The place I live, it is extremely common to see multiple people wearing the same black shirt, jeans, and a mix of sneakers, boots, or Birkenstocks. I personally do not wear much black on top anymore for multiple reasons, but I do have one black top that is quite the exception. It is a longer sleeve with a higher neckline and very well cut back. I can wear it both front or back which gives me a lot of options for styling but I’ve actually found that it feels much different from what everyone else is wearing which is typically just a black T-shirt or tank top. I will also where are my necklaces backwards and let them drape down my back with the lower back line and it looks incredibly Elegant and unique from what everyone else is wearing and I get many compliments. While I’m seeing so many of the same styles going around, making unique twists like this separates you from everyone else while still enjoying the things you like. I really don’t want to blend in/fit in, I want to stand out now entering my 30s. I love seeing how you like styling these classic pieces in unique ways! That’s one of the things I appreciate the most about your channel. I am at a place where I need to really pair down my wardrobe so what I’ve decided to do is pick out the things I wear the most and just wear those for a while. Everything else has gone away in bins until I feel the inclination to shop. Then I go shop things I already have to see what I would “buy again”!
Black pants for me is essencial...
I’m sure you get this a lot, but your voice is very soothing and easy to listen to. I can imagine you doing ASMR or narrating an audiobook.
I've been growing out of all of my clothes the past year and a half and it's been so stressful. Not that i don't love clothes and fashion, but I grew up getting guilt-tripped for buying anything... It was in relations to money and the whole mindset that because i was a girl anything I got was for vanity. How does one deal with unreasonable shopping-guilt? I have serious anxiety anytime I consider buying something even though its a necessity
Honestly and I'm not saying this as an insult at all since I had the same problem: Work on your self worth! You have to see yourself worthy of buying the things you need (and on occasion the things you want when you can afford it).
Ask yourself if your children or husband or a loved one in general wanted this thing would you get it for them? If so you should get it for your self too. It might sound silly but use positive self worth affirmations it'll make a world of difference.
@@ranar.582 That makes a lot of sense, I had not thought of it like this. Thank you!
Learn to differentiate between needs and wants, and if you want something, and are at the moment able to or it's something you'd really use for later use, buy it. :) For we're only here for a certain time limit!! Make use of your interests, especially if it'll be used for later use. This is how we heal.
@@eira00 you're welcome and you're worth it. Treat yourself girl we only live once :)
I am currently going through my closet, trying to sell some things but donating the vast majority. It is something I’ve put off for quite some time because I feel like I’ve wasted so much money and it’s hard to get rid of things. HOWEVER, I came to the realization that my body has changed now that I’ve gotten older and my taste has changed too. I’ve wasted a lot of time being uncomfortable in clothes that don’t fit. We get only one life, I deserve and you deserve to be happy and comfortable in the time we have left. Our past does not dictate our happiness, we do. As adults we get to decide things for ourselves and how or what we spend our money on. I find that the best thing we can get rid is the emotional baggage that has held us back from being happy all these years. It’s not about the clothes, it’s about taking back control and acknowledging that your joy matters. YOU matter. ❤️
Ugh! I wish there was a link for good black pants!!! please a video idea!!! everything these days has awful front pleats that make me look like I have two lower bellies!!
Uniqlo has some affordable and classic options that aren’t pleated! I like their two-way stretch pants in black and navy.
I would also add a pair of white sneakers. I think it would be so helpful to tell us what the fabric is made out of!
Love your presentation!
Your voice is so smoothing and gentle!
Thank you!
Yes, thank you for your insight and an interesting exercise! it helps me as I am making efforts to lose weight for health reasons and am finding motivation in being able to express my personal style and wear clothes that I love and feel great in. As I lose the weight and have need to purchase smaller sizes, I am starting to think about what is most important to me, my lifestyle, self-expression, fashion and function...while making the most of my budget.
I respect your style and integrity and have frequently recommended your channel to young women who are discovering their own style.
However, I feel the short short skirt is not flattering-even though you legs are amazing-it just looks awkward. This is especially true when paired with a jacket. Looks like, oops, she forget her pants.
I look forward to seeing how your style evolves five years down the road.
Keep up the good work.
You forgot a scarf! I love your scarves and can't live without them.
Your hair looks super cute today!
When you buy your own clothes?
Hello 👋🏾
Greetings from 🇰🇪
I love your style
The colors you are wearing in this video really complement you. I see you going to a lot more black now which is quite a change for you based on what I watched a year ago. I wore all black for years and have gone to more softness, charcoal, and muted blues. There is a feminine softness that is lost when we wear so much black. It's certainly classic and 'sharp'. Sometimes, for some people, it's harsh & hard. That blue sweater would look great with black pants.
No boat neck for me. I’m petite ,cuts my head off.
I totally think the key is to know what your true personal style is! Basics are always needed and it is a must,! For me as well it is a must have unique piece with patterns& colours to make me truly express my personality!
I think the first thing I would get would be ...
Three t-shirts, shortsleeved or longsleeved, depending on the season. Merino if available, but good quality and with a good fit, and three different colors, not white or black.
Add trousers/jeans, a skirt, a cardigan. Tights. And I would start knitting a nice Icelandic lopapeysa-sweater at once.
What jeans do find in cropped length? Also how to dress up your black skirt?
sounds odd, but I love watching how your plant is growing!!!! followed it over the years
Great video - Love it. I’ve been pondering this The Back Bone of Your Wardrobe. …then the fun starts with the fashion trend influence. My life style has change lately and have joined a couple of clubs and need more clothes for socialising so I’m looking for, what you said Polished look. Jewellery Box I’ve forgotten all about I have started to look at those bits and bobs. Ps I am really interested in the journey your Mantlepiece is taking that lovely handled vase ..I have two brass candle sticks each end and an old slate clock in the centre I think I like the balance. I love mantelpieces it has a great personality of its own. I think of my home as a friend and when I come home I always say hello house. When I go on holiday I always send the house a post card. If The postman ever reads that card…he must think I’m crazy ha ha. Any back to sorting out my wardrobe. Excellent video. X
Funny, I had to do this recently with makeup when I suffered an eye infection and had to toss all my eye makeup, creams and makeup brushes and start over: it is amazing how many fewer items I truly needed when starting from scratch. I think starting a wardrobe from scratch would also be an interesting experiment but nevertheless one I hope never to be forced to experience.
Comment about the white sweater: I would buy a v-neck cashmere sweater and a cashmere scarf that go together. A cashmere scarf can warm the neck in cold weather -- when you want it to -- and can be removed if you get too warm. Get it in the right color and you can use it with a thousand other outfits. I bought a gray one from Fisherʻs Finery a few years back and literally wore it just about every day for over a year; I even took it with me on summer outings when I headed for the beach, where itʻs cooler (usually). For those of us on the other side of menopause, a turtleneck isnʻt the best choice most of the time, but I still want a sweater and a choice to wear something around my neck, or not. I could never understand it when my mom "didnʻt like anything around her neck" after menopause; now I do.
Really enjoyed this video! It answered my question about my style, i picked blue and grey jeans, two light colour jumpers, jersey dress, Moto jacket and denim jacket 😅 I thought it would be something different.
I loved this video and the whole concept. What a great approach! I have done something similar recently with my entire jewelry collection. For every single item, I asked myself if I would buy this right now for my current and future self. If not, I let it go. And now the pieces that remain feel like me, and get worn much more frequently.
Perfect. For me, I'd add a camel cardigan, sneakers, cami, tights, and workout top and pants.
Such an informative video, thank you so much for sharing Audrey, I thoroughly enjoyed. Love all your outfits, especially the black pants and bag. The only items I don't have are the boots (that's going on my list for future purchases).
Stay blessed xxx
This is a very useful exercise! Thankyou Audrey. Also, the color of your sweater is especially beautiful on you.
This was so helpful for me! I've been wanting to reinvent my style (lack thereof really 🤣 ) so this will be such a great reference for me. I was wondering if you might be able to do one of these for accessories as well?
Its funny, i always hear that a white shirt is a wardrobe essential, and yet im a 62yr old woman, and i havent owned/worn a white shirt since i left school in 1978 😊
Audrey, this is my favourite to-date vid!
Perfect & thank you~
Very informative, thank you--but the link to the jeans is no longer active.
Such sound advice,thanks so much🇿🇦
Your voice and the way you talk is so sweet and soothing!
I had to do this and it has been a process! I’m so much intentional with what I buy now
I lost a lot of weight, aka my entire wardrobe, soooo I'm here.😅
Somehow she looks Turkish and South Korean at the same time 🧐🧐
Very interesting concept. I think many of us traditionalists would agree with your choices if not always the same colors. My one large difference is that I live in a desert and shoerts keep us alive four months out of the year.
Same here, except only for two months and there’s no desert here. It’s rarely cool enough for jeans so it’s shorts all day at home and cotton dresses, skirts and culottes when I go out.
Thanks so much for this video. =)
Anyone noticed the way she speaks? Not here for anything else but the voice, diction. ♡♡
hurricane victims, house fire,,,,
That bag is gorgeous!!
I love this video! I also would love to see a series called “How to dress for…”. Someone mentioned a funeral. While that’s not the happiest of events, I would really love to see what you would wear. Much more useful than the “drinks with the girls” ideas we always see in RUclips! Thank you for your great work!
I would love to have a phone conversation with this woman. Her voice is so soothing.
I don’t think I would think of any of those essentials😅so thanx for making us this video🫶🏼
Hello Audrey. I love your style and channel. I'm 61 years old, an artist, and sponge of life. I wonder if you could do a video on what women of my age could choose to wear that is reflective of YOUR STYLE. Do you think it would fit my age? Thank you :)
When I lost 50 pounds, the items I felt incomplete without were blue Levi’s, black Levi’s, and a tan London Fog trench.
Thanks, Audrey, for practical information to look our best ...yet again. Have a great week. 😄❤️🌞
Hi Audrey, I'm on the look out for a new pair of Chelsea boots and the ones you've got pictured on your front page look just the ticket but they are not linked in the actual video. Do you remember where they are from? Many thanks!!!!
I love your voice so much🙌😭💞
I was looking for the first 2 items for my wardrobe! 😍
Do you ladies know the brand Kettlewell already? It’s from the UK. Their tops are worth checking out.
So classy, so perfect! It is always a beautiful experience the time spent with you, beautiful and lovable lady! Thank you!❤
You look great in everything, however I loved you in the light blue crewneck and blazer! This was a helpful video. Thank you!😍
Thank you Audrey! I’m in a similar dilemma. I’ve recently lost 30 lbs and it’s like starting over. I was wondering where to start and this video was very helpful.
Love your videos. Would like to know the brands of the basics that you purchase. Thanks!
@audrey coyne I have been looking for black pants like the old Zara ones you have. Do you have a recommendation for key words to search this style? I haven’t had luck but it’s the biggest gap in my closet and wishlist item !
This came at the perfect time...I am clearing out clothimg that dpesnt work for me anymore. All my blazers I am keeping because different cuts, lengths and styles come and go amd I am not a slave to what is in in blazers...I have precious ones that best fit my body NONE are the wide oversize ones in style but I KNOW what works best for me.
What I am mostly purging are tops. Luckily I have a precious few like the boat neck you shpwed mine is a very high quality heavy knit 20 years o?ld and I do wear it every fall it is too jeavy a knit for any other ti e of year where I live. i also have a few favorite slacks I never did wear the supertight ones but I cannot wear unsewn pleats or wide ones so I will stick with what a I have and wear those. nd yes my pants are cropped at 5ft 4in. I lile cropped tops rather than lomg ones again due to being a short waisted petite. Mostly I am getting rid of textured tops I dont like anymore. Also mearly every print I am ditching I WONT be buying the oversize flowers trend not for me. My only purchase so far is a fishia blazer and shirt. I have all the basic colors. I am warm coloring so my browns from light to dark are all warm nrowns and camel is great for me.
Great video, Audrey! Could you please tell me the brand name of the green tweed jacket in the picture in your blog? Thank you!
I have been recently left without my most beloved clothing items. The incident includes my husband, and as we are not divorced you can conclude how forgiving I am 😂😂
Anyway, I am rebuilding my wardrobe almost from scratch as I am left with unpractical things which I was not really wearing. This really got me thinking what is necessary and what not for my style
this is wonderful! i totally need to find a pair of black pants like you have featured from Zara. thank you for you videos.
A great perspective for building a capsule wardrobe. Thank you.
Hello. What black pants fabric should I choose so as not to suffer with hair from my white dog? Blessings
Loved this. Thank you
Perfect as usual!!! I love your blue shirt. Where can I buy it? Thank you.🙏🥰
I think what I like more about your stile is there are so in to enjoy the time and the place we’re you going to be. You always use expression like casual but you add something that makes the outfit some how confortable but also enjoyable. I wondered how would you dress a man. It doesn’t have to be just your age but someone who’s looking for that casual and enjoyable stile. I think the question is how would you apply the elements of your stile to a man. The reason is simple there are so many gorgeous men waisted their good look in bad stile and I’m sure man don’t care about stile but if there’s a way they can dress and be able to go to work and after that to a bar and after that have a business meeting and look like they’re fit it in (not underdress or overdressed) just that little think that makes them look out of the crowd.
I know this is about rebuilding your wardrobe. But I need to mention your home. I assume its your home. Just so calm. Would you ever do a video on it?
Needed thisss!
Thank you for another wonderful video! Your style inspires me. I would like to ask you if you would like to make a video in the future about how to dress to a classical concert or theatre, evening or day representation. I love to go to these events and I often don't know what to wear. Your simple, appropriate, chic style, with a twist would help me a lot!
Your voice is so soothing! I could fall asleep to your videos, but I want to stay awake because I love your content.
Love your videos. I've learned so much. What I really want to know is what you do to get those great legs! Are you a runner?
I live in San Diego and for some reason black looks "off" down here. It's very casual here and if anything people wear more of a charcoal gray and of course all the neutral colors.
