As a 56-year-old woman, I never thought I’d be looking to a young person for dressing tips, but your timeless style has been such an inspiration. Thank you for injecting some confidence and purpose in my life. You have NO idea how your videos can sometimes help me get out of bed.
Greetings from over the pond! 🇺🇸 You are perfectly correct, Michelle!
I am a feisty 70 years old and wanting to be stylish has been my "frivolous" mantra since I can remember. The fact that I was born and raised in Italy facilitated the whole process.
Lydia you are all around excellent, your style and pieces are so tasteful, and I adore the accent - I have a friend from the Midlands who sounds just like you! Thanks for all the sound advice, every year I get fixated with a particular color - or non color - at my age I cannot do black or navy around my face anymore, it looks so dreadful and funereal. So I switched to neutral grays and blush for tops and darks for bottoms. I worked in the clothing industry, I sew and know fabrics. You are correct about proportions, colour, draping and weight all the time! When I go shopping for clothes I ask myself: "Would Lydia approve of this?". Yeah, you are this good!
Hi Michelle. Speaking as a 56yo from Down Under I 100% agree.
As a 66 year old I totally agree 😊
Yesss, I’m interested in specific pieces and more in depth styling videos
Amanda that message looks like a scam!
Yes I agree that’s what I would like too
midi skirt deep dive please!
Your channel is really one of the most helpful fashion channels out there. I love how you keep your outfits stylish but effortless at the same time. I was wondering if you would consider doing a video on how to look elegant and put together while wearing sneakers? Like what sneakers to wear and how to combine outfits, it would be very helpful for us who wanna look elegant while running errands. Have a nice day everyone
I love the idea of choosing 3 different styles, which means there is something there for everyone.
Also, giving subscribers a chance to try a different style, when knowing what to pair it with.
What’s not to love about these type of videos, well done Lydia and thank you, for all your efforts.
Lydia, your videos have been a blessing to my life 🤍 I’ve received so much clarity about my style and it’s been easier and so much more exciting getting dressed in the morning! I think it’s when you get specific and go into more detail that helps paint an even clearer picture about our wardrobe and style.
I’m a newer subscriber (1-2 months) but I love looking at older videos and seeing the evolution of your style, and it’s so beautiful to see 🥰 Your passion for fashion and style is so authentic and practical and you express that through your content so seamlessly; you’re not like every other fashion RUclipsr.
Oh, and Tim edits your videos so well! He’s definitely an asset, for sure! Hope all is well with you all ☺️
Same
This makes so much sense. That's why I've never been that into capsule wardrobes, you need so much variety to be able to pair diff lengths of skirts/pants.
Could you also include a skirt that ends just below the knees or on the knees? Most of my skirts are like that and I find them the most difficult to style in my wardrobe.
Yes - great idea to deep dive, I love your videos for outfit ideas and style lessons, and that sounds to combine both. My favourite series is 1 piece, 5 ways, so more of those on the back of the lesson sound fab. Basically love your content and more sounds great ❤
I love these videos, they are so helpful. Would love to see ones where you go into more depth on a particular style 😊
Hi Lydia. I think you explain the do’s and dont’s of how to style pieces together so well and I find them invaluable. By showing us the outfits of before and after, it’s so clear to see how your advice works really well and gives us clear examples. I love any video that you create but lessons with Lydia are so helpful and I’m certain many of us appreciate them. I would be interested in more in depth styling videos too but not to the exclusion of the more generic ones. Take care 🧡🍁🍂
I'd love to see more ways to style a specific piece (e.g., 5 ways to wear....). I'd really love to hear your take on how to wear mid-calf boots. I have a beautiful pair, but not sure how to pair them. Thanks!
Lydia, I love do's and don't series. Can you do one with loafers please? Gucci princetown (backless) and full loafers (TODS or Jordans) please? Pants/Jeans/Skirts-Dresses would be so useful! Thank you.
Mid-calf boot would work fine with the mini but the tights have to be similar in color. It you are throwing on a nude boot, the tights have to be nude too. If you have black tights on, the boots need to be black as well.
I find these tutorials so helpful! It really makes me think about what I already have and I often don't have to spend the money I thought I'd need to.
Very helpful! I wear dresses and skirts probably 75% of the time, and had been struggling with proportions of shoes/skirt length etc for cooler months. These are pretty straight forward combinations to try. Also thinking that if I don't want to tuck in or belt a sweater, a short sweater of a similar length might achieve a similar visual effect.
Yes, detailed videos with more shoe and jacket options for specific skirts would be great! I live in a slightly warmer climate so knee high boots would usually be too warm etc.
I struggle when there's no belt loops for belt and most of the longer skirts do not comes with beltloops ( some trousers as well ) I feel weird to add the belt without loops sometimes I add loops from the tailor but what you guys do ? Do you add belt without loops when the garment is loose or its really wrong and weird. I wonder what Lydia has done it looks like the last black skirt do not have belt loops
Hi Lydia, love this type of video and these tips help a lot. Could you address the issue of tucking in knitwear if different weights and lengths at some point? I often pick shorter or slightly cropped knitwear partly because there isn’t so much fabric to tuck in. In your first example I would struggle to tuck anything but the thinnest knitwear into a skirt made of a thinner fabric because of the bulging tucked-in fabric that results. Also, yes I would love more in depth videos about specific pieces. 😃
I’m up for any style tips you want to do. I would like to see you incorporate handbag styles with different outfits, too. Thanks so much!
I am a skirt wearer. So, I would watch any video you make on the subject. Thanks! Anne
Lydia thank you so so much! I really needed a video about this!! Yes I would love more specific deeper dive videos as well!! You are the best!!
obsessed with your Mango padded jumper, definitely a must have classic x
Such a helpful video! Thank you Lydia. I would love a deep dive into specific skirts...I find those to be extremely helpful in styling outfits and repurposing older pieces in my wardrobe
I just found your channel today, and I am impressed! I like that you choose a few outfits to showcase and don't overwhelm with too many options. It is also great to see the do and don't example, otherwise I would never see the difference. So cool. I am looking for outfit ideas because I feel like I am dressing always the same and feeling not comfortable with my choices.
Thanks for your input 😊
Yes I would like videos dedicated to specific skirt types and how to style them. And trousers. And shoes.
Deep dives are good! I learned a rule of thumb from another fashion youtuber that you should never buy a piece that you can't style at least 3 different ways with something you already own. Great for managing your closet and not wasting money on things you end up never wearing. Love your style and copy a lot of your outfit ideas. Chic and classic. Thanks.
Love this video! I like the idea of choose 3 styles like you did, but it would be helpful to see dressy and casual dos and donts of one style of skirt too
Love this- a dressy and casual option for each look. Yes!
I’m interested in advice on specific pieces in depth. I always learn something. Pieces I struggle with as a shorter person are longer skirts, pleated skirts, how to make the most of a brightly colored piece (which I know you don’t tend to wear but I have some things I hate to give up), peplum blouses…
Absolutely could use more guidance and in-depth styling of longer skirts for winter but without using taller boots! I don’t have tall boots and don’t think I’d wear more than a couple times. Trying to figure out the footwear piece of styling longer skirts or dresses, including the topic of tights vs no tights, color of tights with color of shoe. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!!
More about skirts , skirt suits and pencil skirts of different lengths please. Thanks
I really enjoy these do's and don't videos. Seeing it really drives the point home and makes sense. I can really see how one piece works and another piece doesn't. Thank you for sharing! I really enjoy how you take a staple in your wardrobe and style it many ways.
Omg, I have been struggling to style shoes with skirts/dresses for workwear in these colder months. Thank you so much for clarification. More videos on skirts/dresses please
I like this video with the three different skirt styles. Would love to see ideas for pencil skirts as well as maxi skirts. Thank you!
Just saw my first video of yours just now ! Wow you have amazing taste! So glad I stumbled upon you! PS I’m a science teacher for 30 years and I explain things sometimes abstract for a living. Your explanations of these abstract concepts are excellent! Excellent communicator !!❤️❤️❤️👍
Been applying these tips from your reels and have been getting so many more compliments!!! Thank you for sharing your fashion wisdom 💕
Hi Lydia, you do a FABULOUS job explaining the do’s and dont’s and demonstrate it for us using pieces from your wardrobe! Your style insights are so valuable! I have been applying your tips and have finally transformed my wardrobe and focus on wearing the pieces that I absolutely LOVE❤ Thank you!!
I love this video! I wear skirts a lot so this was very helpful! You explain things very well!
I would love if you went into depth about wearing loose fitting trousers in the autumn/winter. I really don't wear skirts that much in these seasons. Thanks for these videos. They are so helpful.
I would to watch you talk about how to style a a mini (or flowy) skirt in the autumn/winter. I end up looking frumpy soo many times when i adapt what works in summer to a cold weather outfit. Hugs
Hi Lydia, these videos are great! I'd love one that focuses on how to pair the right *hosiery* and shoes with different skirts.
Nice video, I have a tartan scotland red skirt that i love but i don´t know how to combine it in a modern way, could you give me some ideas please. thanks so much
This is a very helpful topic. I would love to see more on a pencil skirt that has buttons down the front. Your videos are so helpful and I appreciate them very much! ❤️
Always enjoy your content. I am short so the oversized jacket normally does not look proportionate for me. Would you consider doing a correct way to pair bottoms with cropped jackets? Thanks!
As a plus size girl my calves are too big for any long boots sadly :( And I wear only skirts as pants don't flatter my short legs.
What if the line of the skirt ends at mid calf, and I wear black leggings under the skirt or long socks with matching ankle boots?
Love this series and would love it if you did a ‘deep dive’ into separate styles. Do not know how you put out so many quality videos each week- very professional and informative.
Scam.
What I'd like to know more about is boots. As we're heading into fall here I've got a wonderful collection of boots. Some are for wearing to work, my Blondo waterproof ankle boots, a pair in black and a pair in gray; I have an amazing pair of Justin black-on-black cowboy boots that come up just below the knee and are pointed-toed; I have a pair of black knee-high front-lace-up (looking) boots that I wear with mini-skirts; and the real mystery to me is how to wear the cognac suede Frye chunky ankle boots. I love them so much and just cannot figure out what to wear them with, so they get little use, and it's a shame! I also bought a pair of black Hunter boots for walking my dog in the rain, and I wouldn't be without my black ankle-height UGGs in black, tan, and brown: very practical in the Pacific Northwest for walking a dog in the winter. But Marie-Anne LeCoeur hates them.
Love these types of videos! It is so refreshing to see styling videos and learning so much from them!! I would love to see also in depth videos on a particular style
I would also love another video all about a “ capsule “ wardrobe of shoes and boots for fall and winter and what to wear them with.
Hello Lydia, could you please do a LWL going in depth about the preppy style? I am in my early 20's and just got my new job... as someone who never got to explore the different styles of fashion due to financial reasons, I would love to try new styles now that I am earning. I hope it's not too much of a request. Thank you❤
Thank you so much for your videos! I have been getting so many compliments for my style ever since I started following your tips.
You videos are brilliant, so helpful!
YES to the question! As I learn best by repetition. Pile it on! (in proper proportion of course. Ha!) I think the method used for meals is a good pattern to follow. Appetizer (teaser short), Main course (detailed video), and dessert or Aperitif (subject focused short/reel). PS. Well done Tim! The edits were so on point! 😉"Very talented" indeed!
I wish I had access to this type of styling knowledge when I was a teenager. Young people nowadays look so good and it doesnt have to kill the wallet. But back then I didn‘t know about complementary colors, shapes and proportions. Wore the tight on tight look to death and felt like the hottest b on earth lol. When I now look at these picture, I cringe because my body shape cant handle that style. Love your advice and the black leather pants! ❤️
Thanks for this useful video. In depth video styling 1 piece sounds great. Also can you please do styling a slip skirt in multiple ways please x
Lydia, I love your videos. They are classy and look really put together. But I wish your items are accessible from the US. Those pleated skirts are lovely, I just feel disappointed that they don't ship to the US.
Thank u!!! Very informative 👏 I would like to see how to style mustard colored bottoms - pants or skirts. It's not an easy color to pull off in terms of color combos😏
Wish you had US links to give you the benefit of a purchase. Some add the links for the us or Australia in the comments if you run out of room in the normal links area. Yes we do watch from the US! You share great tips. Specific subjects would be great!
Requesting a midi skirt/dress in depth special- love these sis!
maybe different midi skirts together in one video? i love pencil midi's but find they're hard to match up with a whole outfit
Wondering if you could offer less expensive links occasionally to go along with your chosen piece you are modeling. Love the black check blazer but it’s a little pricy for some of us. I have been following you for a couple of years now. Thanks.
Great lessons! Can you do a video on shoe and boot selection with straight leg jeans and proper leg th of jean with each?
I would love it if you took one specific kind of an autumn shoe and then talked about the kind of clothes that go with it. I feel like shoes, as well as outerwear, are the biggest wardrobe investments. Also, it is much more difficult to find comfy shoes than, say, a comfy jumper. therefore, focusing on creating a capsule wardrobe based on a pair of shoes could be the biggest money-saving trick! :D
Loved the mini skirt look with the heeled boots! So i would like to see a video theme: how to style a mini skirt, different colours/pattens of skirt, which shoes to match etc. Greets from Greece :)
I’m glad for these types of videos, thank you. The only thing I’d say is I wish you had included a maxi skirt in this lineup
Yes from me for the specific items videos! Would be great to see how a leather mini skirt for example could be casual/day/evening and transitioned through the seasons 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!!! Very helpful! Please more videos with specific and more detailed tips.
Thank you so so much for this! And to answer the question, yes, deep dive. Skirts are so hard. I really wear them a lot but always feel something isn't right with how I'm putting it together.
Yes please. Would be very interested in more in depth re skirts - particularly the pleated skirt. I live in Australia so how to wear in summer would be super helpful.
Hi Lydia,Thank you for such an informed and resourceful video. I think I’m finally understanding the basic elements of balanced combinations with tops and shoes to style with skirts. Please do more in depth with skirts that would be great. I’m also struggling with skinny jeans .I only have about two pairs left in my wardrobe as whatever I pair with them looks dated.😮
Yes, I would love to see more videos focused on styling one specific item such as mini skirts, wide leg trousers, etc. Encompassing everything from outerwear to tops to shoes. I often wish I had more ideas or inspiration for my pieces, and occasionally I get stuck trying to figure out what the best jacket or coat choice would be. Your videos have become my style bible!
Hi Lydia, this video format is amazing! Totally love it.
Could you talk about the pleated skirt with sneakers and what to wear it with (top wise)? Thanks!
Hi Lydia, watching from Los Angeles. Can you please do a video for petites? I'm 4'11, 95 lbs. Thank you!
Thank you Lydia! This video is totally something I would wear! I’ve learned so much on styling from you and your style is what I’m looking for!
You did a great job describing & showing. I would like to see what a "deep dive" into one item would be like.
Id like to see a video about the pleated skirt, I bought one similar to the one you have here and I'm looking for more ways to style it.
Great tips, and easy to see what you try to show🥰😍
I don't have any blazers in my closet. I wouldn't know which one to buy. I have wide hips and I feel big in oversized clothes like the blazer is. I am curious what could work for me?
I have the same problem, but I'm on the hunt for some cropped blazers
Maybe something longline like a mid length cardigan or a long trench
me too. oversize anything looks just TOO BIG! I go for shorter jackets/tops always! moto jackets and denim jackets that hit at the hip bone look better on me. (nothing too boxy!
I would love more ways to style skirts and midi/maxi dresses for fall and winter!!!
Very helpful. I love your videos. Thanks a lot!
I like the different styles, perhaps some lengths of skirt in between, like knee lengths vs maxis and midis.
I was going to ask if you could do a vid on skirts but you came through already. Thank you x
Thanks as always! Can you pls do more skirts with boots// shoes? Thanks! ❤️
Thanks for doing this topic. There is very little "skirt education" out there, but lots of women wear them. I love your explanations.
Thanks for the inspo, you look great!! I'd love to see some tips for silky slip dresses, I struggle so much to style mine :( 🌞
Love your detailed explanations and also how as a RUclipsr you encourage us to use peices we already own thus promoting sustainability and less about promoting affiliate links. I really respect that so thank you.
Loved this video, this is perhaps one of the most challenging pieces of clothing for me to style. I found the video super helpful and right on point
I would like to see videos on how to style very straight midi skirts during the autumn and winter months
Thank you so much for your videos ❤I absolutely love them !!!
Great video Lydia! Very helpful tips that make sense!
I’d like to see more in depth vid about skirts. I have a lot of trouble styling them.
I tell people about your videos/RUclips all the time. You truly understand the human body and flattering clothing. I love skirts so I am eating this up 😂
Love the looks ,would consider a thicker denier opaque tight with all 3 .
I’ve been on your page for a week scouring for ideas! Sending love from the Philippines! Love you xo
Thanks to your videos I finally make my wardrobe work. Would be nice to see deep dive for sleep skirt for autumn season. Thank you ❤
I wish you would do this with shoes. I don't wear a lot of boots. This video was informative!
Yes do a midi skirt with a denim jacket or some other tops for daytime.
Ah thank you so much Lydia !!!! At least a great Instagramer styling skirts for a/w season!! Hurrah! Loving your style, your ideas. And the best of it : the items are affordable. Couldn’t thank you enough for that. Thank you thank you and thank you 🙏🏼
Amazing skirt inspiration!! All styles of video are great 👍
I have a black mini and I have not worn it in a few years but I also did not want to throw it away because it was such a staple. Watching this I already have a few outfits in mind 😃😃👍👍
Hello I’m kain and I like wearing skirt with boots and I am wearing my skirt on now
Lydia, I feel like your verbals descriptions are quite good, especially along with the visuals. Please do more in depth videos too, I will look forward to them. Well done!
I looove the long coat for the do’s in the first skirt 😍
This is so helpful!! Thank you for another great video!
So helpful!
Yes deep dives would be awesome.
Enjoy your videos. Would love a video on A-line skirts please
