Yesss, first and foremost, clothes protect us from the elements. I feel like people get so caught up in a “look”, we forget that. So many factors influence style choices - weather, culture, your profession, age, body type... on and on. “Pinch of salt.” Love it! Thank you!
Tone on tone only looks good now b/c it's on trend and we have accustomed ourselves to seeing it and appreciating it. When it wasn't trendy, it was an eyesore, so we have to keep evolving as fashion rules come and go. Trainers look visually pleasing with everything now, but in the early 2000s, a woman would be ousted among her peers for wearing trainers with trousers. Great video!
Very true! I remember when you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing sneakers with trousers or wearing a monotoned look with different variations of the color. It’s so interesting how things change. Just like the “worn” white sneaker look, when I was younger that was never a good look. 😄
Love your style Lydia. I’m sure I am a lot older than most of your fans but I’ve always loved fashion and still enjoy seeing what is current. Your classic tasteful style suits more mature ladies too and I certainly love the “oversized” look! The classic neutral colours will always look elegant.
You are my favourite influencer. Honestly you are so classy and genuinely care about the ins and out of fashion rather than just money. Have so much time for you x
New subscriber to your channel. Your sense of style/fashion goes back to my mother’s teaching to me during my teenage to young adult woman. I’m 67yrs old with 3 daughters. Well done.
Makes a LOT of sense Lydia. I also think that can be the same in home styling. I hate decor that is too matchy matchy and more interesting if mixing things up a bit!! 💕💕💕
When I was younger I use to love wearing tight clothing, but I always felt self conscious and uncomfortable. However now, I rather wear relaxed and flowy outfits over skin tight clothing. Brilliant video Lydia it was very helpful as always. I love and appreciate you always. Take care, stay safe and enjoy your weekend 🤗🌈💕.
Good advice, especially regarding comfort and fit: nothing ruins more an outfit than being uncomfortable in what you are wearing! Colours are also very important: I like earth tones but they don't suit me so I wear them as the bottom part of the outfits (pants, skirts...)
Fashion, like art, is an individual choice. In both what is attractive to the eye are the basic design rules of balance, proportion, colour etc. 🥰 remember those and you can't go wrong.
Great recommendations that are more subtle and sophisticated than most such "mistake lists." Very helpful. I agree with Ana C, would love a video on choosing shoes for the outfit.
People will always say that there are no rules in fashion but I do believe that if you want to look somehow stylish you should at least follow some guidelines, that is why I really enjoyed the content of this video! Could you do a video about how to choose the right pair of shoes for your outfit?
Yesss agreed! There are always exceptions but generally the rules work well! And yes noted, I agree about shoes. It's really difficult so will keep that in mind for a future video ! x
I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to hear a young beautiful woman talking about how short and tight clothing doesn't suit people. Kim K are you listening??? Absolutely love these videos - you have something to teach us all, including more mature women like myself who will be 50 next year...I suddenly feel inspired by clothing again, all thanks to you! Bravo!!
Hi Lydia, you say, "this is only your opinion" but your opinion counts, hence you have so many subscribers, also you advise solutions to these fashion mistakes with such tact and diplomacy and yes this is an other first class video x
Hi Lydia Great tips, I think you have mentioned before that picking two to three colours for your complete outfit really keeps it pulled together too. That was a fab tip and something I really hadn’t thought of before 💐
I’m absolutely obsessed with your videos, your content shows how much commitment you put in… greatly appreciate your advice, it has helped me sooo much ♥️♥️♥️
You look so stunningly beautiful and elegant as always and in a few cases you make the "don'ts" look better than the counterpart "dos". You definitely always show why you're a fashion genius.
Thank you so much for this video! Just this morning I was stuggeling to find something to match my new grey trousers and this was so helpfull! Going back into my closet again! 😉
this was a big help, very on point. I am still learning how to pair 'dressy' with 'casual'. It's not what I was taught in the 90's! lol I would also love a video on pairing shoes. I find that final piece of coordinating difficult - maybe you could do a '10 must have basic footwear video?' for example, right now, I need something brown, but only have the light brown suede booties from Zara. Great work as always Lydia :)
Haha thank you! I'm not saying that it's a bad colour at all! I think it can wash people's skin tone out and we gravitate to it maybe too often as a safety net!
I'm so happy to say that I rarely make any of these mistakes anyone 😎✌🏻 and this is a great reminder to not start again! Thanks Lydia. Love your videos
Loved it, as I do all your videos. Had to laugh at #10 because although I live in Dallas, I’m a Geordie. And you know it is the Geordie lass’s article of faith to go out in freezing temps with the skimpiest outfits and no coat! They also make the mistake of too tight, and too short with too high a heel. 🤣
Thank you Lydia, great advice as always. I agree with another lady’s comment about doing a video on how to chose the right pair of shoes for an outfit please?! 👠🥾👢👞👡🤔👍❤️ xx
You looked so great and absolutely stylish in that photo I loved that look so that just shows how personal fashion is. If I saw you in that outfit on the street, I'd definitely think you are super stylish
Enjoyed this, it's actually about giving you a bit more freedom to play with things in your wardrobe, rather than a rigid set of restrictive rules, which generally sends me screaming 😜.
I love wearing blazers, and would really love to expand my collection, however, where I live, its hot most of the time sometimes going up 40°C in summers 😞
Excellent tips! In the past couple of years, I’ve started to collect some designer shoes, belts, and bags. Would you do a video on how to mix designer pieces? xoxo
Most influencers don’t talk about knowing what colors look good on you. One of the best things I’ve ever done was having my colors done in the early 80s.. I was SO using the wrong colors. Now I see influencers wearing the wrong colors, and I move away from them, even if the colors are very fashionable.
Hi Lydia, you are amazing! Thank you very for your lovely inspired outfits! I have a nice wool blazer from & Other Stories in sage green and I would appreciate if you propose outfits with a blazer in this colour. Thank you 🙂
You mentioned in another video that wearing all black is a great way to look more polished. do you mean always wearing black and never trying other colours?
Hello, I enjoy so much your videos, I find them so interesting and the way you mix basics and more "chics" items!!! I totaly agree your point of view of being confortable, I always look for being well dressed and warm 😏😉🤣🤣 Bises du sud de la France 🇨🇵😘❤
I love your comment, " shivering in the corner " :) I enjoyed your video and I really enjoy your yes vs no looks to compare. Really brings the point home. I would love it if you could do a video on spring/summer easy breazy white dresses. x
I like juxtaposition too. One of my fave looks of all time is an open blazer with distressed denim. Classy at the top and a little rough and edgy on the bottom. Also, I feel like being too “matchy matchy” used to be a big faux pas but most people realize that the monochromatic or matching top and bottom is so in right now and has been for a while!
I feel like i have to wear a lot less jewellery and accessories because i wear glasses, what are your thoughts on this. Have you got any tips for accessorising with glasses ? :)
Hey Lydia , love your videos , One thing, what's wrong with a mini skirt and sandals? here in Miami we wear it all the time, you looked good too. Maybe we are doing it wrong :(?
Yesss, first and foremost, clothes protect us from the elements. I feel like people get so caught up in a “look”, we forget that. So many factors influence style choices - weather, culture, your profession, age, body type... on and on. “Pinch of salt.” Love it! Thank you!

I feel so chic every time I dress and I follow your advice also my friends loved the way my style have changed, thanks Lydia you are the best xx
Oh love that! Thank you so much! xxx
I found that if 2 shades of a color clash, add a third, and they all coordinate and blend!
New subscriber to your channel. Your sense of style/fashion goes back to my mother’s teaching to me during my teenage to young adult woman. I’m 67yrs old with 3 daughters. Well done.
OH thank you so much!
Makes a LOT of sense Lydia. I also think that can be the same in home styling. I hate decor that is too matchy matchy and more interesting if mixing things up a bit!! 💕💕💕
Yesss so agreed! I definitely use these things in my home too - didn't really realise until you mentioned it! x
When I was younger I use to love wearing tight clothing, but I always felt self conscious and uncomfortable. However now, I rather wear relaxed and flowy outfits over skin tight clothing.
Brilliant video Lydia it was very helpful as always. I love and appreciate you always. Take care, stay safe and enjoy your weekend 🤗🌈💕.
Yes exactly! Comfort is everything - especially for your confidence! Thanks so much!
Classy young woman. I love your videos. I'm twice your age but you give me so much inspiration.
My wardrobe is much more alleviated and my struggles are beaten with Lydia’s magic shining in my life 💖
Aw haha love that! xx

You said it all with “look in a mirror” love everything you are doing. Thanks Lydia
Haha thank you!

Yes i agree about showrequest. Its so difficult to know which shotype goes with which pantsstyle.
I too would love some guidance on footwear !👏👏👏
Yesss agreed! There are always exceptions but generally the rules work well! And yes noted, I agree about shoes. It's really difficult so will keep that in mind for a future video ! x

Just thought, the camel colored coat photo of you looks great! I kinda like it!

Loved this and I agree about the heels not to be worn with a short or dressed up skirt x
Your style philosophy absolutely resonates with me! Thanks ❤️
Aw that's so nice to hear! Thank you! x
I love your styles and it teaches me how to put a wardrobe together.
This was the most useful styling video I have ever watched! Thank you Lydia 🙏💖
Ahhh amazing! Thank you so much! That's lovely to hear! x
Lydia you are my fashion Guru, I‘m learning a lot from you 💜
Oh that's so nice to hear! Huge thank you! x

Love your videos and Instagram thanks Lydia Ive learnt so much over the last year love the tonal colours and it’s working for me your a star ⭐️
You look so good in the all black examples can’t be a mistake!
Haha thank you! I'm not saying that it's a bad colour at all! I think it can wash people's skin tone out and we gravitate to it maybe too often as a safety net!
Brilliant advice Lydia. Thank you xxx
Yay! lessons with Lydia! Love it! 👩🏾🎓😃👏🏽👏🏽

Loved the tips in this and also your hair is honestly so gorgeous!
Isobel Celine x
Oh that's so lovely of you! Thank you x
About #2. Sometimes when you combine same color but different tones. It doesn’t look nice. Example is warm brown and cool brown.
I'd love to see video on styling prints mostly florals do and dont
Oh noted! Thank you so much! x
I agree 👍 please, Lydia advise us how to style floral prints 😍 thanks in advance!
Very nicely done! I love your style coordination .
Enjoyed this, it's actually about giving you a bit more freedom to play with things in your wardrobe, rather than a rigid set of restrictive rules, which generally sends me screaming 😜.
100%! That's what I was aiming for with these tips!
Great tips Lydia
I love wearing blazers, and would really love to expand my collection, however, where I live, its hot most of the time sometimes going up 40°C in summers 😞
Wow, you nailed it! 😍
Great tips… especially the too tight clothes.
Excellent tips! In the past couple of years, I’ve started to collect some designer shoes, belts, and bags. Would you do a video on how to mix designer pieces? xoxo
Ahh yes noted!! Thank you so much! x
We all focus on being ourselves, free and beyond the rules, but no matter what, there's things that works and some that don't! Bravo.
Yay I’m super happy I found this :D
Love your videos! What new balance are they ? I’m trying to find them online can’t seem to find anything that colour
Most influencers don’t talk about knowing what colors look good on you. One of the best things I’ve ever done was having my colors done in the early 80s.. I was SO using the wrong colors. Now I see influencers wearing the wrong colors, and I move away from them, even if the colors are very fashionable.
What do mean by 'getting your colors done'? Could you elaborate?
Also I totally recommend tuba Avolon to other people like me, in their 20s looking for RUclipsrs who deal with mature chic outfits!
Terrific video!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💙
Too tips, Lydia. 👌Thanks so much! X
Oh thank you! xx
I really appreciate a well-dressed lady.
Aw thank you!
Hi Lydia, you are amazing! Thank you very for your lovely inspired outfits! I have a nice wool blazer from & Other Stories in sage green and I would appreciate if you propose outfits with a blazer in this colour. Thank you 🙂
Really cool and new piece of advice!!!
You are very wise with your hints and tips.....you know your stuff.....fabulous top where is it from ?....love Jane....North Wales
You mentioned in another video that wearing all black is a great way to look more polished. do you mean always wearing black and never trying other colours?
Agreed - all true!
Thank you!
Hello, I enjoy so much your videos, I find them so interesting and the way you mix basics and more "chics" items!!! I totaly agree your point of view of being confortable, I always look for being well dressed and warm 😏😉🤣🤣
Bises du sud de la France 🇨🇵😘❤
Aw so lovely! Thank you so much!
Oooh... I'll take your orangey coat and blazer! I can't wear black well though.... :)
I love the striped shirt on you! I thought horizontal stripes are a fashion no-no? On that note, I can rarely find shirts with vertical stripes...
Brilliant!
I love your comment, " shivering in the corner " :) I enjoyed your video and I really enjoy your yes vs no looks to compare. Really brings the point home. I would love it if you could do a video on spring/summer easy breazy white dresses. x

Good vlog Lydia very informative
If black is a hard color to pull off - what is an easy color?
I can do a full large load of periwinkle blue. Always feels right.
I feel like i have to wear a lot less jewellery and accessories because i wear glasses, what are your thoughts on this. Have you got any tips for accessorising with glasses ? :)
Great advice!
Good video 👏🏻
You are the best.l love you💖
This is perfect at a x1.25 speed
On what type of weather would you wear mini skirt + trench coat?
😍😍😍 Good tips
I'm confused here. Can't wear coats in summer, can't wear mini skirts in winter. Should I only wait for fall or spring to pull off style 1 ?
is there an online platform you can recommend to find the right color that suits my skin tone?
Color Me Beautiful! xx
@@LydiaJaneTomlinson thank you lydia. that is so helpful.
thank you❤
I never know what shoes to wesr with my clothes- what herls go with thedifferent typrs of jeans, dresses and skirts. It’s so confusing.
Will try and do a video on shoes soon!
Great video 😍
Everything u say is correct x
Love this video
No se que tanto dice pero me gustan sus oufits 😅
Mini skirt and really high heels.. i agree i don't like it :/
Hey Lydia , love your videos , One thing, what's wrong with a mini skirt and sandals? here in Miami we wear it all the time, you looked good too. Maybe we are doing it wrong :(?
Your top is nice 🦓
I think what you're referring to is styling a look by trying too hard and it shows off as ridiculous! Less is more with the Classic & Elegant look.
Yes absolutely! xx
Tonal dressing is difficult to get right... sometimes it looks good on camera but not in person...
Great video
Thanx Lydia! 💙
You're my big sister preparing me for adult life
Tip #1 is your forte
Спасибо 👏
Tennis shoes are for tennis not with dresses! Can’t get this modern trend at all.
