@@jolienvsndijk i have a very few pants and shorts, but long jeans feel uncomfortable to me, the way it bunches up around my knee, and of course because i get too thick over time. having to change my pants because of my thickness? no thanks, i have more space in skirts, i feel good in my body right now ❤
Having experienced both really humid cold and very dry cold, it’s hard to pick which one is worse. Where I live in Canada, our winters are very cold and very dry, and the dryness almost feels like knives. Like slicing and stabbing. When it gets windy, it literally feels like the wind is stabbing you in the face. But the place I used to live before, it didn’t get very cold in comparison but it was humid, and it felt like the cold was leaching under your skin and settling in your bones. It felt like you’re never be warm again. Air moisture does a really funny thing to how we experience cold.
Fellow Canadian here. Calgary Alberta. Very cold. -20 on a regular basis, occasionally -30 /-40. Extremely dry. Dry cracked skin and lips, With nose bleeds and sore throats as a bonus of breathing in all that cold dry air. We don't normally don't get a lot of snow, but lots of wind.
Why do women live that far north? The northern territory is for miners, trappers and huskies. If i was female, I would insist on living no more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) from the equator. No lady should have to endure living in a cold climate. Haven't you heard of 3rd wave feminism?
Modern dress trends make no sense to me. Historically women added quilted and woolen petticoats under dresses in winter, and now stores only seem to sell long skirts in summer, and winter dresses are mostly knee length or shorter. 🤷 I wear my maxi length dresses year round, with extra layers underneath. If your skirt actually covers your legs, it creates a pocket of trapped body heat around them that's so so much warmer than jeans where the wind just blows it away.
I so agree, I love her winter outfits. That how I would love to dress up and as you said the winter dress don't even cover my legs, and in summer they do? Ahhh fashion can be odd, but this made me happy 😁
Today it was windy and -24 F, and I had 4 maxi length layers on to take out the garbage, but my legs were toasty. YMMV I guess, but it worked for me. It's why mittens are warmer than gloves. Speaking of which I need some new ones because those gloves didn't work at all, my hands were like ice.
Yeah, I gave up and started sewing my own skirts to be an inch below the knee and they're wonderful in the winter or summer. In the winter all I have to do is wear a slip and it's warm! Blue jeans feel like sheets of ice wrapping your legs!
As a Prairie Canadian, I didn't really expect you to tell me something I didn't know. When you said the key is layering, I was like, "duh". Then you busted out a SECOND SKIRT?!!? Holy crap, I never thought of that, thanks so much!
You wear almost the same things as I do here in Finland when it's -15 or -20 (we have dry cold). But here are the couple things that I change; instead of the tank top I usually have a t shirt or nothing if I'm going to wear a knitted shirt. And under my skirt I have a pair of shorts (like pajama shorts I don't really care what they look like). Knee high socks or leg warmes on top of my normal 100 denier tights (I don't like thermal ones). And here's a confession: I don't have winter shoes, I just put a wooly thermal sole in my shoes when the temperature drops down so I wear the same shoes from early autumn to late spring. Edit: I do cycle in the winter too so I so put on ear muffs to keep my ears safe from the wind. Love from Finland
I wonder whether dry cold feels warmer than more humid climate, case the only thing I can wear in Moscow when the temperature drops to -20 is skiing overals, and even then I wear skinny jeans underneath
Shorts under is a great idea, thank you! I live in Canada and only wear skirts, with an exception for outdoors in real winter. The number one thing people ask me is "how do you stay warm?!" I commute to work with a pair of long leggings on under my dress, and take them off to just tights when I get in. I call them my travel pants! Knee high socks are amazing too. I layer thigh high slouchy wool ones with knee highs on top and it's super cute.
My Grannies were born just after 1900 when women had to wear skirts that rose almost to the knee in the 1920s. They stayed comfortable (and modest on a bike) by wearing big knickers with gathers at the bottom of the legs. Bloomers is one name. Fine cotton in the summer prevents chafing like modern shorts and crop leggings. Thermal knickers came down over the top of stockings to keep the wind out. Smooth silky stockings were for dressing up. Lisle stockings made of cotton or wool for everyday wear, lacy knit or thicker cabled patterns for winter, like modern over the knee socks. Matching thermal vests and spencers (like a fitted tshirt) helped too. Lambswool and cashmere are very warm thinner layers for jumpers/cardigans that don't add a lot of bulk. Looking cosy and warm is great but its better when you don't feel like the Michelin man. Lol When I lived in Scotland it was common in winter to add a woollen shawl over the coat. Even with a hat on it could be lifted from the shoulders to cover head and shoulders the way Asian women wear pashminas. Good video btw. Great to see people developing their own style over fashion.
if you have a sewing machine it’s actually super easy to make, it’s basically just a circle skirt you just have to find the right fabric, for me it takes about two or three hours but it’s really worth it
I use wool longs under wool or cotton tights to keep the cold out. You can also carry with you some tigh high socks to put on top of that when you go outside, but be aware that if your shoes become to stuffed your feet will become cold. Greeting from a fellow Norwegian :)
I also prefer skirts and layering in winter! Last year I knit myself a pair of wool bloomers, and I highly recommend them. Very handy AND vintage appropriate!
i live in norway and have always loved dressing feminin due to my not so feminin face and body. it helps me feel more, me. being a woman that looks male its not that pleasent to dress up in large jeans and a large jumper to stay warm. but with layering i think ill now feel more at peace even in the winter. skirts are my heaven because i have such large thighs and hips/butt. and well jeans end up too long on my 160cm figure. and it just dosnt look too nice. but this week ill follow your tips! and see how it goes.
Yes, this is exactly what I needed because I only wear dresses and skirts! I do this method of layering, minus wearing two skirts (I'm going to use that this winter). :-) Thank you so much for this video.
same and what's terrible is that the prices aren't that crazy for linen which isn't the cheapest fabric (although it is when you take into account how durable it is) and for garments that are apparently produced locally and in collaboration with small companies (with EU work standards) and all of that has a coast. But we're so used to fast fashion and clothes being dirt cheap both in price and quality that we're taken aback when the simplest linen dress turns out to be the price of two or even three sweatshop made H&M dresses. Except that for the time your quality Baltic sisters company's dress will take to really wear out (likely very long if you actually take care of it appropriately), you'll probably have gone though a dozen of fast fashion outfits one after the other and spent a lot more than if you'd bought a couple of these dresses. The infuriating part is the whole being poor is expensive thing because sadly, capitalism decided that workers having living wages is overrated. That makes so many people unable to afford a $130 dress or a $200+ wool coat when then need one even if they're garments that could last a decade so instead they'll get a $30 dress and a $50 coat that will be falling apart in a year or two. And all of that is without even beginning to talk about the environmental impact of the synthetic fibres and cotton used in fast fashion vs that of linen and wool used by this brand. That was a lot bit I guess I have feelings about clothing and capitalism oops >__>
@@iyawakarehen Yeah I am aware of fast fashion and lately I've just gotten so tired of shopping for new clothes because I don't even have the money to afford it (especially when I get to thinking how I would like to buy something sustainable because I just don't have the funds) and because I know anything I buy won't last me very long, although I do already have clothes that are old and I'm still wearing it despite being maybe "outdated". That's why when I get the need to buy clothes I go to second hand stores at least. And yes what you said is absolutely right, I'm sure that the dresses on that site are made with quality material but I'm especially not used to spending sooo much money on clothing simply because I can't afford it therefore I don't know just how much some piece of actual good clothing may cost.
@@marina3240 Too true, all that. But I think one can buy less clothes and good quality clothes with the right approach (like buying timeless pieces from second hand shops). We are just simply too spoiled by having so many clothes and so many choices around us. By the way, the design of the Son de flor dresses is very similar to mori dresses. If you seach for "mori dress" on ebay you can find something cheaper in similar style (20-30 USD). I've bought a few of those and they are well made and still perfect after a few washes.
Just wanted to say that i absolutely adore they way your channel is heading these days! You definitely fit the vintage/ historical fashion aspect of youtube and i am so here fo it
I think the key to stay warm is to have a wool longer coat (below the knee, that covers the skirt as well) - second hand or vintage is a great choise, fast fashion often dont have many wool coat and it really makes a great difference
I used to love watching hauls but I am trying not to support fast fashion so much anymore and don’t enjoy them as much now. Love this video, great fashion advice without encouraging excess spending. 😍🤩
Meanwhile British children go outside without a winter coat on (or not have it zipped or buttoned up) and then complain about how "freezing" the weather is....at any temperature between 4°c to -2°!
This video is honestly perfect timing for me as I'm gonna go visit my family in The Netherlands for new years and I currently live in a very warm country.
I live in a coastal town in Scotland, we have the same wet cold! ⛄ Grateful for this video, I've also struggled with this due to my winter coats being so bulky
As someone who runs cold to begin with and struggles with seasonal depression, this is a godsend! I really don’t enjoy winter to begin with and I get run down by the gray sky and I always find that wearing a t-shirt and jeans with my winter coat every single day always makes me feel even more bogged down because I always feel I can’t look cute in the winter and not die from the cold lol thank you so much for these tips! This will definitely help my mood while staying cozy!
My dad is always telling us that layering is the secret, so this is cool :). Where I live it's very humid as well, so I know exactly what kind of cold you're talking about, and it's definitely getting colder here, which is so exciting. Thanks for the video! I love all the outfits, they look really really good.
When I lived in Boston, the best thing I ever bought was a pair of leather gloves. They weren't expensive or even very well made (like, a $30 pair from Target I think), but the leather kept my hands dry AND warm and I could still grasp things with my fingers.
Great info! Really love the first outfit. I actually came across a dress from son de flor at the thrift store last week. Can't wait to start wearing it.
Love this!! I live in Canada and we layer a lot too lol. I found amazing super thin merino wool leggings at costco that i wear under everything in winter! I live on the east coast and we also have the humid, wet cold... But also Sometimes -20 or colder! Brrr.
I followed your idea yesterday, it is quite cold here in Japan, and while my friends were freezing i was totally warm, not one bit of cold. thank youu🥰
Thank you for this. I almost exclusively wear dresses in the warm times indoors and jeans in the winter. I am about to become a mother and want to dress according to my increased feelings of femininity. I also usually wear jeans when I go outside to do shopping at the farmers market, but feel wearing a dress will give me more space and let others know to take care around me. I will be using these tips. I live in California and never even heard of thermal tights. What a concept!
I understand what you're saying about the humidity making the cold worse. I lived in Georgia, in the Southern United States for many years and that high humidity did chill me to the bone. The cold is colder and the hot is hotter. What beautiful clothes you have! I'm drawn to 50s, feminine, pretty clothes, too, and will be sewing them out of necessity. :)
These outfits are so cute! The tip about layering multiple thin layers instead of fewer thick ones is so true. I also swear by uniqlo heat-tech undershirts and leggings. They're super thin but keep you really warm.
I double up on skirts for cold days too! SO warm. A couple years ago we actually got temps below freezing and I wore pantyhose, skinny jeans, and a skirt under an ankle length dress, with a voluminous chiffon scarf (because I didn't have a normal scarf) under my coat. The chiffon scarf actually did make a difference. Every little bit helps. Great video, I love the outfits!
Don't forget the Dutch wind! Love the idea of using an underskirt and love your style in general, I also wanted to continue wearing skirts in winter, so I actually found 2 really warm knitted skirts, one from H&M and one at Primark, happy to see more people wearing the skirt in winter!
I totally understand what you mean with the cold! I live in Sweden and the coldest I've experienced during the winter is -31 degrees celsius (yes, we're all dying). I dress in vintage style as well and layering is SO important and also if you find a good vintage styled wool coat (The longer the better sine it will cover more of your body) and other vintage styled accessories (boots, hat, scarf, gloves) you're pretty much good.
Though I do not normally wear feminine outfits, I still can relate to that "layering" thing. I once walked few kilometres down the rails in victorian dress replica with a nightshirt, underskirt, pantalets and warm tights underneath. Trolleybuses were blocked by heavy snow and it was about -28C with pretty humid atmosphere. And I caught a sweat
As a Christian I decided to wear just skirts and dresses for the lord. And you r so right. Dressing up in layers does keep one warm. I walk everywhere so I don't wear pants underneath 2 keep warm because it doesn't let me walk comfy. But layers. 👍👍 great video. Thanks 🤗
Thank you! I so appreciate this. Now I won't be cold. I had layered with a slip but knee high socks only. I did feel a bit cold today on my knees. It's like 30 something F° outside today. I did wear a cape so I did something right. Thank you. Layering is the key. Two pairs of tights! Wow!! Awesome ideas.!! Hugs
I love wearing skirts and dresses but live in Northeastern Ontario Canada and my city is surrounded by approx 300 lakes, rivers, creeks etc. so the cold here gets very bitter with all the humidity, like the kind that burns and hurts really bad so this is super useful!
I’ve started putting a camisole under my sweaters and tights under my jeans, and omg, it made me feel so much warmer! It like protects you from the wind or something!
You look so great in all your clothes!! We dress alike. I love wearing 2 skirts, it gives a lot of body to the skirt that shows and does create a lot of warmth. I also just wore a sweater over my dress and it was so fun. Plus, I either wear ankle boots with everything or it’s sandal weather. I wear a beret too. I wear leggings under my skirts and dresses too. You are very smart to keep wearing that coat. That’s exactly what I do with a coat. If it’s perfect, it stays perfect and can make a person feel dressed well on a daily basis. Another tip I have for those who sew-make a cotton flannel skirt, or half slip, to wear under your dresses and skirts, It really helps. A thousand thank yous!!!!
Layering is key! I love fleece lined leggings. I’ll wear them under my pants or skirts. I have similar boots to your brow ones, but mine are black. I wear them all through fall, winter and spring
Oh my goodness, love it. I'm still struggling with dresses & skirts in the winter here in Canada, but this was so inspiring. All the outfits as well 😍🙌.
Art of Shaima I’m from Ontario! But northern Sudbury area but yes winters are not fun in northern Ontario or Winnipeg. Though so far it hasn’t been bad this year only one week at -25 windchills haha
@@ceslestrialfairy True, oddly enough we're not trudging through at least calf length snow, lol......now that's a thought for navigating with a dress/skirt. XD
Used the two skirts tip on my trip to Krakow this year. I'm new to vintage fashion and traveling to a place with colder climate then Rijeka, Croatia where I'm from and mantaining it was my little personal challenge. Two skirts, cotton tights, long wollen socks and extra pair of super-thick wollen socks for the night and I made it. I was actually TOO warm half the time. Also much more comfortable then having tights layered underneath jeans. Plus, being able to actually LAYER DOWN on the very warm bus by either rolling my socks down or taking of one of the skirts was a blessing, since I hate being stuck with two pairs of tights undernath jeans on a bus that is 23°C.
This winter if have started wearing skirts and dresses as well and I am sooo cozy! Really nice outfits, also I love that you showed the same pieces multiple times, yay for less need for owning a lot and instead styling creatively :)
I love this idea! I live in the mid-Atlantic, and we get super cold and wet winters (and ridiculously hot humid summers- the worst of both extremes 😭) and I haven’t been dressing vintage like I love because I just get too cold. And I have to wear compression tights anyway, so I’m def going to take advantage of these tips 💕
I'm also a big lover of layering, especially in winter! I've never seen thermo pantyhoses like yours tho. I can only find thermo leggings and they aren't shiny like pantyhoses are but they are great as a first layer under pants. For under dresses I usually go for woollen pantyhoses and matching woollen over-the-knee-socks to go over that. Depending on the type of over-the-knee sock you can roll them down to look like cuffs on your boots when you are indoors or just take them off. Leg warmers can function the same way.
Yes! Finally a video with actually realistic winter outfits! I often see videos with things like 'fall/winter outfit ideas' and those people just have skirts on without tights of jeans with crop tops or something... But I don't undestand that.. I would freeze to death in outfits like that.
Simple, the fashion designer lives in southern California or somewhere else it doesn't really get cold where they're like, "Yeah, 65 degrees is cold, this is perfect for winter."
This is what I do every winter! Here in northern Sweden it gets pretty cold (-20 is the average, and it usually goes down to -35 or colder for a week or two mid-winter), so many many layers are needed.
I’m Pentecostal so I wear skirts/dresses exclusively and I still learned from this video (I’m sure others aren’t as dense as me)! Tbh, I usually just freeze, I’m used to it. I’m going to use these tips during the next cold front. Thanks!
I'm Pentecostal too. The day I discovered fleece-lined leggings and tights was awesome! I tend to switch to heavier weight material for skirts if I can and that helps too. I would also recommend Cuddl Duds. It's like long johns for women.
I feel like videos about fashion in winter should always tell us where they are living so we can understand what that creator thinks winter is. Because winter is different in different places. So thanks for doing that.
I'd still freeze in just a blouse and waistcoat, I usually throw on a jacket/frock coat and wear a bigger overcoat so it fits under it (especially when I'm going for that 19th century dandy look). I also double up on tights when it's below freezing - a normal 50 den and then a thick wool one on top. Underskrits are great, I started using them when I got into loli fashion and never stopped. I also have some nice wool skirts. One even has real pockets! And finally - sheepskin or faux sheepskin coats. Warmer and somewhat less heavy than wool, with the fluffy part on the inside.
Living in North Louisiana I get the humidity factor. We have long, hot sticky summers that last into October and then wet, cool to cold January, February and early March. So while it may only get into the 30-40s F it is wet and feels so much colder. Layering is key and I love the looks you put together.
I love the 2 outfits with skirts, they look very elegant, feminine and classy which I’m really into. I can’t stop rewatching it. ❤️❤️❤️ Now I have ideas how to layer to keep myself warm, this is very helpful. 💕🌸
Bloomers! It's the one thing that's missing, which I add for warmth (& modesty) especially riding my bike! I've made a bunch of all kinds of materials, patterns & lengths. Never have to worry about wayward gusts again! In fact, a little flash of bloomer is intriguing.
I really like your glasses. Also, if you let your skin get cold all fall, it will "harden off" and you will no longer feel much cold at all. I didn't believe this until a friend went through an entire Mid-Atlantic US winter in shorts to prove it.
Loved all of these outfits! I always shy away from skirts and even more so during the winter because I'm afraid of the cold (I catch colds REALLY fast). I was actually thinking of making "wear more skirts" a goal for next year, haha.
Leuke stijl heb je! En aah ik ben zo blij met jouw tip om je blouse in de panty te stoppen. Nooit aan gedacht om zoiets te doen en ik heb er altijd zo'n hekel aan als je al die lijnen en vouwen van je blouse onder je rok ziet. Helemaal top! En liefde voor laagjes. Het enige nadeel is dat het in de winter bij mij op kantoor vaak zo warm is, dat zoveel laagjes dan weer te veel zijn. Maar op de fiets naar werk toe is het heerlijk.
Awesome! I recently decided that I want to wear vintage inspired dresses more often, but I was afraid that I had to wait untill the weather get warmer... Thank you very much!
This video made my day! I have a beautiful dress collection and living in cold humid climate as well I gave up for 4 months out of the year. Im so happy to get ideas to keep wearing my beautiful dresses. thank you
So cute! All your outfits remind me i need to up my style game and stop just wearing shorts and tshirts( with thermal stocking in the winter I'm not an animal and it does some times get below freezing here) loved the advice!
When you were talking about the cold weather in the Netherlands, I remembered when I would have to walk around campus during university in -38 degrees Celsius here in Canada and actually got decently used to it lol! I think my bones actually became ice! If only I paid any attention to the layering of skirts then 😅
I have this black winter jacket and its really really cool in giving vintage look... So I agree to you on that part especially... And I really loved that skirt wearing... Will try this week👌👌👌
Love the skirts, I've a half slip I wear under most skirts largely to keep the outer skirt from creeping between my legs. You are right! Alaska girl with layers here.
Thank you so much for this video!! I had no idea thermal tights existed!! i also had not considered an under skirt! The cap is a great idea also for dressing up a not so nice coat.
I have that exact H&M coat! Somehow I've managed to pop a button off of two of them actually... Every season but summer it's my go-to "dressed up" coat. Hoping to start wearing more skirts and dresses overall so videos like this one are a godsend, especially when you live in a colder climate and not California like Pinterest seems to think when you search "autumn outfit" or something.
I just found your channel and I'm bingewatching your videos and getting super inspired. It seems like you have the perfect videos for me, your style is exactly what I like and I've been wondering for a long time how to wear dresses and skirts in the often cold Dutch weather haha, so thank you for all your videos
I really love outfits in Winter ,I've always wanted to be girly but didn't even know how to start and seeing you video it's makes me so happy. Brings a smile on my face and how to try these outfits and give it a go. Thank you for this 😊❤
At school and in the city, at church as well- I only wear skirts, no matter the season so your video was a good help for me. Thank you !! You gave me new ideas for the winter season 💟
Once it gets warmer, could you please do a video on what to wear in the summer, vintage style? I can dress vintage no problem in winter, but it's the hotter months I struggle with!
OK so like, I'm super late but I cannot stop thinking about how beautiful you are??? Like seriously, you're super pretty! You've automatically become someone I look up to and even though this is the first video I've seen from you, you've made such a big impression. I've been wanting to get into skirts/vintage more lately, and I am so glad I found your channel. I can't wait to see what you create next!
I just realized, the underskirt she had on with the first two outfits was functioning as a modern-day petticoat.
I looove that you use the same coat and boots in every outfit. It conveys the very important message that finding something you really love beats having many options of mediocre items. Yay! and thank you. :)
It always feels so unrealistic when these videos have different shoes and coats for all outfits. I mean who does that actually?
@@jolienvsndijk i do.

Where you live in Canada sounds like where I live in California. Very dry and windy. The cold is piercing and unforgiving when it does gets cold.
Living in Russia I have 2 different coats (i don't know how to translate that correctly) for each of these types of winter weather

Jeans are the magic. Always comfortable, always convenient. But to each their own I guess.
The air pillow never worked for me. I was alwayls colder with skirts that are layered, jeans always keep me warmer.

Canadian here too. I mean if it was only -10, these outfits may work but I would never wear this in -20 or colder....
@@Kitty666EmoGoth I might try it. I have a farm so Im not saying I would go do my chores in this but yeah.

Love from Finland
I reaaaally want to visit Finland, especially during winter time, and I've been practicing my layering. :'D
I wonder whether dry cold feels warmer than more humid climate, case the only thing I can wear in Moscow when the temperature drops to -20 is skiing overals, and even then I wear skinny jeans underneath
Shorts under is a great idea, thank you! I live in Canada and only wear skirts, with an exception for outdoors in real winter. The number one thing people ask me is "how do you stay warm?!" I commute to work with a pair of long leggings on under my dress, and take them off to just tights when I get in. I call them my travel pants! Knee high socks are amazing too. I layer thigh high slouchy wool ones with knee highs on top and it's super cute.
in this outfit you describe, I'd freeze to dear death :o
My Grannies were born just after 1900 when women had to wear skirts that rose almost to the knee in the 1920s. They stayed comfortable (and modest on a bike) by wearing big knickers with gathers at the bottom of the legs. Bloomers is one name. Fine cotton in the summer prevents chafing like modern shorts and crop leggings. Thermal knickers came down over the top of stockings to keep the wind out.
Smooth silky stockings were for dressing up. Lisle stockings made of cotton or wool for everyday wear, lacy knit or thicker cabled patterns for winter, like modern over the knee socks. Matching thermal vests and spencers (like a fitted tshirt) helped too. Lambswool and cashmere are very warm thinner layers for jumpers/cardigans that don't add a lot of bulk. Looking cosy and warm is great but its better when you don't feel like the Michelin man. Lol
When I lived in Scotland it was common in winter to add a woollen shawl over the coat. Even with a hat on it could be lifted from the shoulders to cover head and shoulders the way Asian women wear pashminas.
Good video btw. Great to see people developing their own style over fashion.
I wish more places sold longer skirts like this.
Agreed. Its hard to find skirts like this in store
Thrift stores!!
Try vintage on Etsy :)
if you have a sewing machine it’s actually super easy to make, it’s basically just a circle skirt you just have to find the right fabric, for me it takes about two or three hours but it’s really worth it
Depop has some good finds ^_^
Love this😍 as a muslim i wear dresses and skirts in the winter, and was really looking for how to keep the warm in winter ! Thank u love from Norway🥰😍
I use wool longs under wool or cotton tights to keep the cold out. You can also carry with you some tigh high socks to put on top of that when you go outside, but be aware that if your shoes become to stuffed your feet will become cold. Greeting from a fellow Norwegian :)
Muslims shouldn't live in Norway.

Miss Peach bigots shouldn’t live on Earth.
Also who else sees her in the pink linen dress outfit, near a livestock pasture taking sketches while the dew acclimates on the grass. Just me? Okay..
I also prefer skirts and layering in winter! Last year I knit myself a pair of wool bloomers, and I highly recommend them. Very handy AND vintage appropriate!
as a swede i really appreciate looks that are actually functional AND cute. looking decent is a struggle when it's -30°C 😭🙏
i live in norway and have always loved dressing feminin due to my not so feminin face and body. it helps me feel more, me. being a woman that looks male its not that pleasent to dress up in large jeans and a large jumper to stay warm. but with layering i think ill now feel more at peace even in the winter.
skirts are my heaven because i have such large thighs and hips/butt. and well jeans end up too long on my 160cm figure. and it just dosnt look too nice. but this week ill follow your tips! and see how it goes.
Yes, this is exactly what I needed because I only wear dresses and skirts! I do this method of layering, minus wearing two skirts (I'm going to use that this winter). :-) Thank you so much for this video.
I checked out the Son de Flor dresses and I absolutely fell in love the moment I opened the page, and then almost fainted when I saw the price tag :(
I wish I could buy everything from them. Their shop is so darling!
same and what's terrible is that the prices aren't that crazy for linen which isn't the cheapest fabric (although it is when you take into account how durable it is) and for garments that are apparently produced locally and in collaboration with small companies (with EU work standards) and all of that has a coast.
But we're so used to fast fashion and clothes being dirt cheap both in price and quality that we're taken aback when the simplest linen dress turns out to be the price of two or even three sweatshop made H&M dresses. Except that for the time your quality Baltic sisters company's dress will take to really wear out (likely very long if you actually take care of it appropriately), you'll probably have gone though a dozen of fast fashion outfits one after the other and spent a lot more than if you'd bought a couple of these dresses.
The infuriating part is the whole being poor is expensive thing because sadly, capitalism decided that workers having living wages is overrated. That makes so many people unable to afford a $130 dress or a $200+ wool coat when then need one even if they're garments that could last a decade so instead they'll get a $30 dress and a $50 coat that will be falling apart in a year or two.
And all of that is without even beginning to talk about the environmental impact of the synthetic fibres and cotton used in fast fashion vs that of linen and wool used by this brand.
That was a lot bit I guess I have feelings about clothing and capitalism oops >__>
@@iyawakarehen Yeah I am aware of fast fashion and lately I've just gotten so tired of shopping for new clothes because I don't even have the money to afford it (especially when I get to thinking how I would like to buy something sustainable because I just don't have the funds) and because I know anything I buy won't last me very long, although I do already have clothes that are old and I'm still wearing it despite being maybe "outdated". That's why when I get the need to buy clothes I go to second hand stores at least. And yes what you said is absolutely right, I'm sure that the dresses on that site are made with quality material but I'm especially not used to spending sooo much money on clothing simply because I can't afford it therefore I don't know just how much some piece of actual good clothing may cost.
😂🤣I know right?
@@marina3240 Too true, all that. But I think one can buy less clothes and good quality clothes with the right approach (like buying timeless pieces from second hand shops). We are just simply too spoiled by having so many clothes and so many choices around us. By the way, the design of the Son de flor dresses is very similar to mori dresses. If you seach for "mori dress" on ebay you can find something cheaper in similar style (20-30 USD). I've bought a few of those and they are well made and still perfect after a few washes.
Just wanted to say that i absolutely adore they way your channel is heading these days! You definitely fit the vintage/ historical fashion aspect of youtube and i am so here fo it
i love that you do so many vintage related videos lately! it suits you so well honestly ❤️
I think the key to stay warm is to have a wool longer coat (below the knee, that covers the skirt as well) - second hand or vintage is a great choise, fast fashion often dont have many wool coat and it really makes a great difference
I used to love watching hauls but I am trying not to support fast fashion so much anymore and don’t enjoy them as much now. Love this video, great fashion advice without encouraging excess spending. 😍🤩
I adore the first outfit! For some reason it makes me think of 18th century working class dress with how they layered to keep warm in cooler months.
Lithuanian there, we learn layering early on, i was out sleeping in balcony at 3 days old, born end of november
we do the same in Finland
Like ACTUALLY sleeping on the balcony? To temper your body? That's incredible!!!
Meanwhile British children go outside without a winter coat on (or not have it zipped or buttoned up) and then complain about how "freezing" the weather is....at any temperature between 4°c to -2°!
This video is honestly perfect timing for me as I'm gonna go visit my family in The Netherlands for new years and I currently live in a very warm country.
I live in a coastal town in Scotland, we have the same wet cold! ⛄ Grateful for this video, I've also struggled with this due to my winter coats being so bulky
I just love the way you dress! 🥰
It’s so ladylike and fashionable. 🥰
As someone who runs cold to begin with and struggles with seasonal depression, this is a godsend! I really don’t enjoy winter to begin with and I get run down by the gray sky and I always find that wearing a t-shirt and jeans with my winter coat every single day always makes me feel even more bogged down because I always feel I can’t look cute in the winter and not die from the cold lol thank you so much for these tips! This will definitely help my mood while staying cozy!
My dad is always telling us that layering is the secret, so this is cool :). Where I live it's very humid as well, so I know exactly what kind of cold you're talking about, and it's definitely getting colder here, which is so exciting. Thanks for the video! I love all the outfits, they look really really good.
I just moved to Boston and it seems to have a similar dampness in the air. This is good to keep in mind.
When I lived in Boston, the best thing I ever bought was a pair of leather gloves. They weren't expensive or even very well made (like, a $30 pair from Target I think), but the leather kept my hands dry AND warm and I could still grasp things with my fingers.
I just moved here too! I basically shut down and went into shock during the recent coldsnap. I've done Midwest winters but this is such a UGH!
Great info! Really love the first outfit. I actually came across a dress from son de flor at the thrift store last week. Can't wait to start wearing it.
1:56 You look like a beautiful vintage doll, Loopsie. My God, I think I'm in love 😂
Love this!! I live in Canada and we layer a lot too lol. I found amazing super thin merino wool leggings at costco that i wear under everything in winter! I live on the east coast and we also have the humid, wet cold... But also Sometimes -20 or colder! Brrr.
I followed your idea yesterday, it is quite cold here in Japan, and while my friends were freezing i was totally warm, not one bit of cold. thank youu🥰
I am in LOVE with that Son de Flor dress! The color suits you so well!
Thank you for this. I almost exclusively wear dresses in the warm times indoors and jeans in the winter. I am about to become a mother and want to dress according to my increased feelings of femininity. I also usually wear jeans when I go outside to do shopping at the farmers market, but feel wearing a dress will give me more space and let others know to take care around me. I will be using these tips. I live in California and never even heard of thermal tights. What a concept!
That pink dress is a dream !!! And I totally agree !! Layering is key !
I understand what you're saying about the humidity making the cold worse. I lived in Georgia, in the Southern United States for many years and that high humidity did chill me to the bone. The cold is colder and the hot is hotter.
What beautiful clothes you have! I'm drawn to 50s, feminine, pretty clothes, too, and will be sewing them out of necessity. :)
These outfits are so cute! The tip about layering multiple thin layers instead of fewer thick ones is so true. I also swear by uniqlo heat-tech undershirts and leggings. They're super thin but keep you really warm.
I double up on skirts for cold days too! SO warm. A couple years ago we actually got temps below freezing and I wore pantyhose, skinny jeans, and a skirt under an ankle length dress, with a voluminous chiffon scarf (because I didn't have a normal scarf) under my coat. The chiffon scarf actually did make a difference. Every little bit helps. Great video, I love the outfits!
Super cute!! Love all your outfits - especially your H&M coat! Great advice! Hello from California!
Don't forget the Dutch wind! Love the idea of using an underskirt and love your style in general, I also wanted to continue wearing skirts in winter, so I actually found 2 really warm knitted skirts, one from H&M and one at Primark, happy to see more people wearing the skirt in winter!
I totally understand what you mean with the cold! I live in Sweden and the coldest I've experienced during the winter is -31 degrees celsius (yes, we're all dying). I dress in vintage style as well and layering is SO important and also if you find a good vintage styled wool coat (The longer the better sine it will cover more of your body) and other vintage styled accessories (boots, hat, scarf, gloves) you're pretty much good.
Four words...
BLESS YOU GRANDMOTHERS SOUL
Though I do not normally wear feminine outfits, I still can relate to that "layering" thing. I once walked few kilometres down the rails in victorian dress replica with a nightshirt, underskirt, pantalets and warm tights underneath. Trolleybuses were blocked by heavy snow and it was about -28C with pretty humid atmosphere. And I caught a sweat
As a Christian I decided to wear just skirts and dresses for the lord. And you r so right. Dressing up in layers does keep one warm. I walk everywhere so I don't wear pants underneath 2 keep warm because it doesn't let me walk comfy. But layers. 👍👍 great video. Thanks 🤗
Finally a REAL winter clothing video on RUclips. Thank you
Thank you! I so appreciate this. Now I won't be cold. I had layered with a slip but knee high socks only. I did feel a bit cold today on my knees. It's like 30 something F° outside today. I did wear a cape so I did something right. Thank you. Layering is the key. Two pairs of tights! Wow!! Awesome ideas.!!
Hugs
I love wearing skirts and dresses but live in Northeastern Ontario Canada and my city is surrounded by approx 300 lakes, rivers, creeks etc. so the cold here gets very bitter with all the humidity, like the kind that burns and hurts really bad so this is super useful!
Oooh, love that vest!
I love that black coat too. I’ve looked for something like that, but they’re always wool, which I do not wear/use.
I’ve started putting a camisole under my sweaters and tights under my jeans, and omg, it made me feel so much warmer! It like protects you from the wind or something!
You look so great in all your clothes!! We dress alike. I love wearing 2 skirts, it gives a lot of body to the skirt that shows and does create a lot of warmth. I also just wore a sweater over my dress and it was so fun. Plus, I either wear ankle boots with everything or it’s sandal weather. I wear a beret too. I wear leggings under my skirts and dresses too. You are very smart to keep wearing that coat. That’s exactly what I do with a coat. If it’s perfect, it stays perfect and can make a person feel dressed well on a daily basis. Another tip I have for those who sew-make a cotton flannel skirt, or half slip, to wear under your dresses and skirts, It really helps. A thousand thank yous!!!!
Layering is key! I love fleece lined leggings. I’ll wear them under my pants or skirts. I have similar boots to your brow ones, but mine are black. I wear them all through fall, winter and spring
Oh my goodness, love it. I'm still struggling with dresses & skirts in the winter here in Canada, but this was so inspiring. All the outfits as well 😍🙌.
Art of Shaima wearing skirts and dresses in winter is hard. I live in Winnipeg.
@@ceslestrialfairy oohhh gosh. Definitely harsher winters than us here in Toronto then. lol 😆
Art of Shaima I’m from Ontario! But northern Sudbury area but yes winters are not fun in northern Ontario or Winnipeg. Though so far it hasn’t been bad this year only one week at -25 windchills haha
@@ceslestrialfairy True, oddly enough we're not trudging through at least calf length snow, lol......now that's a thought for navigating with a dress/skirt. XD
thats learning from former generations! Brilliant. For many decades woman wore many layers of cloth!
You need some fleece lined tights in your life! Best clothing invention of the decade!
Oh my soul I love your vintage style am a big fan! I love how your outfits are not too revealing I like that😊
Im wanting yo use the start of school next year to start wearing the gintage style. Im finally admitting that I love it and I feel so cute wearing it.
Used the two skirts tip on my trip to Krakow this year. I'm new to vintage fashion and traveling to a place with colder climate then Rijeka, Croatia where I'm from and mantaining it was my little personal challenge. Two skirts, cotton tights, long wollen socks and extra pair of super-thick wollen socks for the night and I made it. I was actually TOO warm half the time.
Also much more comfortable then having tights layered underneath jeans. Plus, being able to actually LAYER DOWN on the very warm bus by either rolling my socks down or taking of one of the skirts was a blessing, since I hate being stuck with two pairs of tights undernath jeans on a bus that is 23°C.
This winter if have started wearing skirts and dresses as well and I am sooo cozy! Really nice outfits, also I love that you showed the same pieces multiple times, yay for less need for owning a lot and instead styling creatively :)
Wow. I love this because I needed these tips. I have more dresses and skirts than I do jeans so this is the best. Thank you!!!
I love this idea! I live in the mid-Atlantic, and we get super cold and wet winters (and ridiculously hot humid summers- the worst of both extremes 😭) and I haven’t been dressing vintage like I love because I just get too cold. And I have to wear compression tights anyway, so I’m def going to take advantage of these tips 💕
I really love the first outfit and always wanted to have vintage clothes.
Isabeau Wolf samee I rlly want the whole outfit especially the vest and coat
Yess! This is so helpful because I pretty much live in dresses and I get really cold😂 thank you💕
Love your style!. Greetings from the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico! Here today temperature reach 90 degrees 😒talking about humidity! 😁
I appreciate your helpful fashion tips, wear skirts all the time, thanks.
I'm also a big lover of layering, especially in winter! I've never seen thermo pantyhoses like yours tho. I can only find thermo leggings and they aren't shiny like pantyhoses are but they are great as a first layer under pants. For under dresses I usually go for woollen pantyhoses and matching woollen over-the-knee-socks to go over that. Depending on the type of over-the-knee sock you can roll them down to look like cuffs on your boots when you are indoors or just take them off. Leg warmers can function the same way.
I can never find tights to fit me due to my height so might have to try over knee socks technique.
Yes! Finally a video with actually realistic winter outfits! I often see videos with things like 'fall/winter outfit ideas' and those people just have skirts on without tights of jeans with crop tops or something... But I don't undestand that.. I would freeze to death in outfits like that.
Simple, the fashion designer lives in southern California or somewhere else it doesn't really get cold where they're like, "Yeah, 65 degrees is cold, this is perfect for winter."
This is what I do every winter! Here in northern Sweden it gets pretty cold (-20 is the average, and it usually goes down to -35 or colder for a week or two mid-winter), so many many layers are needed.
I’m Pentecostal so I wear skirts/dresses exclusively and I still learned from this video (I’m sure others aren’t as dense as me)! Tbh, I usually just freeze, I’m used to it. I’m going to use these tips during the next cold front. Thanks!
I'm Pentecostal too. The day I discovered fleece-lined leggings and tights was awesome! I tend to switch to heavier weight material for skirts if I can and that helps too.
I would also recommend Cuddl Duds. It's like long johns for women.
I feel like videos about fashion in winter should always tell us where they are living so we can understand what that creator thinks winter is. Because winter is different in different places.
So thanks for doing that.
I'd still freeze in just a blouse and waistcoat, I usually throw on a jacket/frock coat and wear a bigger overcoat so it fits under it (especially when I'm going for that 19th century dandy look).
I also double up on tights when it's below freezing - a normal 50 den and then a thick wool one on top.
Underskrits are great, I started using them when I got into loli fashion and never stopped. I also have some nice wool skirts. One even has real pockets!
And finally - sheepskin or faux sheepskin coats. Warmer and somewhat less heavy than wool, with the fluffy part on the inside.
Living in North Louisiana I get the humidity factor. We have long, hot sticky summers that last into October and then wet, cool to cold January, February and early March. So while it may only get into the 30-40s F it is wet and feels so much colder. Layering is key and I love the looks you put together.
I love the 2 outfits with skirts, they look very elegant, feminine and classy which I’m really into. I can’t stop rewatching it. ❤️❤️❤️
Now I have ideas how to layer to keep myself warm, this is very helpful. 💕🌸
Simplistic, yet classy...I love it
Bloomers! It's the one thing that's missing, which I add for warmth (& modesty) especially riding my bike! I've made a bunch of all kinds of materials, patterns & lengths. Never have to worry about wayward gusts again! In fact, a little flash of bloomer is intriguing.
I really like your glasses. Also, if you let your skin get cold all fall, it will "harden off" and you will no longer feel much cold at all. I didn't believe this until a friend went through an entire Mid-Atlantic US winter in shorts to prove it.
Loved all of these outfits! I always shy away from skirts and even more so during the winter because I'm afraid of the cold (I catch colds REALLY fast). I was actually thinking of making "wear more skirts" a goal for next year, haha.
Leuke stijl heb je! En aah ik ben zo blij met jouw tip om je blouse in de panty te stoppen. Nooit aan gedacht om zoiets te doen en ik heb er altijd zo'n hekel aan als je al die lijnen en vouwen van je blouse onder je rok ziet. Helemaal top! En liefde voor laagjes. Het enige nadeel is dat het in de winter bij mij op kantoor vaak zo warm is, dat zoveel laagjes dan weer te veel zijn. Maar op de fiets naar werk toe is het heerlijk.
This is helpful because I am switching denim jeans and went for more skirts and dresses going for skirts to compliment my turtleneck sweaters.
Awesome! I recently decided that I want to wear vintage inspired dresses more often, but I was afraid that I had to wait untill the weather get warmer...
Thank you very much!
As a life long skirt and dress wearer, I am always warm with layering.
This video made my day! I have a beautiful dress collection and living in cold humid climate as well I gave up for 4 months out of the year. Im so happy to get ideas to keep wearing my beautiful dresses. thank you
Love all the looks!!!
So cute! All your outfits remind me i need to up my style game and stop just wearing shorts and tshirts( with thermal stocking in the winter I'm not an animal and it does some times get below freezing here) loved the advice!
When you were talking about the cold weather in the Netherlands, I remembered when I would have to walk around campus during university in -38 degrees Celsius here in Canada and actually got decently used to it lol! I think my bones actually became ice! If only I paid any attention to the layering of skirts then 😅
I have this black winter jacket and its really really cool in giving vintage look... So I agree to you on that part especially... And I really loved that skirt wearing... Will try this week👌👌👌
I'm honestly loving these clothing videos. They're so simple yet so informative. Love it.♥️
Love the skirts, I've a half slip I wear under most skirts largely to keep the outer skirt from creeping between my legs. You are right! Alaska girl with layers here.
i wear skirts year around but the handy dandy fleece lined tights make it wearable during the cooler months.
This is so helpful! I’m from San Diego and now live in snowy & dry Colorado, I am NEVER warm enough even with a coat-these are great tips!
Thank you so much for this video!! I had no idea thermal tights existed!! i also had not considered an under skirt! The cap is a great idea also for dressing up a not so nice coat.
I have that exact H&M coat! Somehow I've managed to pop a button off of two of them actually... Every season but summer it's my go-to "dressed up" coat. Hoping to start wearing more skirts and dresses overall so videos like this one are a godsend, especially when you live in a colder climate and not California like Pinterest seems to think when you search "autumn outfit" or something.
I love your outfits..especially the first two ..they are the kind I'd definitely try out
So cute. I want to see these things in fashion it's really nice.
This was actually extremely helpful. Also all the outfits were adorbs. I really need to invest in a fitted coat like that one.
I just found your channel and I'm bingewatching your videos and getting super inspired. It seems like you have the perfect videos for me, your style is exactly what I like and I've been wondering for a long time how to wear dresses and skirts in the often cold Dutch weather haha, so thank you for all your videos
I really love outfits in Winter ,I've always wanted to be girly but didn't even know how to start and seeing you video it's makes me so happy. Brings a smile on my face and how to try these outfits and give it a go. Thank you for this 😊❤
Wow, I never knew you can layer skirts 😮 I've learned something new! Thx!!
At school and in the city, at church as well- I only wear skirts, no matter the season so your video was a good help for me. Thank you !! You gave me new ideas for the winter season 💟
Once it gets warmer, could you please do a video on what to wear in the summer, vintage style? I can dress vintage no problem in winter, but it's the hotter months I struggle with!
I have needed this video for SO LONG... thank you 😭😭😭❤️❤️
OK so like, I'm super late but I cannot stop thinking about how beautiful you are??? Like seriously, you're super pretty! You've automatically become someone I look up to and even though this is the first video I've seen from you, you've made such a big impression. I've been wanting to get into skirts/vintage more lately, and I am so glad I found your channel. I can't wait to see what you create next!
We also get that type of cold on Vancouver island
