Also no offense but I think the reason you don't like black tights is because maybe nothing in your wardrobe goes with them because it's all pink, white, and very light hues. Honestly some of the best outfits go with black tights
@Reality Troll of course you can. You can comment, you can add things, you can have a different opinion all the time. What would this world even be if we couldn't say things to each other?
@Reality Troll wow. It was literally just a way of saying it and oversimplifying the whole idea (+english isn't even my first language) But since you knew what i meant already i don't see the point of your comment in the first place. As you say it, she was giving her own opinion. And has all the rights to do so, just cause someone says in a video that it's their opinion, it doesn't mean others can't comment or disagree.
I thought you had a friendly profile picture so I'm going to ask something I've been wondering for a while. If that's okki! What accent does Freddy have? Does she have a London accent, a posh accent, a RP accent? I'm trying to learn English but I'm so lost with all the British accents 🙈 sorry if I bothered. Cheers! 🌸🌸
@@NeeroxFox Thank you :) To be honest it's a difficult question for me. I'm not British myself and I can only tell apart if someone is from the Northern or Southern part of the country. If you can't find the answer by the time Freddy does her next Q&A, ask her.
I'm bummed you would rather wear over the knee boots over black tights. You look very pretty with them. There's a sleekness to them that over the knee boots don't have.
I have also found the type of shoe you wear them with can make a huge difference to the way they look on you and I’ve finally found my favourite types of shoes to wear to really class them up :)
I think it depends on the opacity of the tights too! Really dark thick tights look a little too extreme. But more sheer black stockings look timeless, sliming, and classy.
i completely disagree with the black tights one. even in the clips you showed in the video, the black tights look far more sleek and elegant than the over the knee boots.
Personally, I wear my OTK boots WITH my black tights. The thing that bothers me more is when people wear hosiery of any kind with open tied shoes or sandals. That's the one that always gets me.
Oh my. I agree on many things but not wearing sneekers sounds just old fashion. You can totally rock the style. Just look at every other women in Stockholm, Oslo, Helsinki or Copenhagen. And black tights... Well, I love them and comming from Finland need to wear them on winter if I want to basically stay healthy when wearing skirt or dress. No kneehigh boots is enough on -10celcius (or more). Perhaps I'm grown to love the look.
Haha same! I usually need to wear tights and knee-high socks in order to wear skirts or dresses during the Swedish winter 😅 I am also quite short, so I don’t really think that knee-high boots would look that good on me
Sneakers can be cute, but I just don't think they go with dresses/skirts for MOST people. If you're model tall and thin, there are other rules for you XD
@@ellieburgoyne3422 Scandinavian women wouldn't be caught dead in ted baker trainers. Sneaker is a sneaker and you need to commit to styling around it and not trying to act like its a "pretty" shoe. French and scandi women get that and that's why they are considered chic and cool.
I’m with you on a lot of points Freddy, especially not wearing gym clothes out and about...but being anti-sneakers? Come on. That’s very behind the times and just unreasonable for people who ride bicycles, have to do a lot of walking, or who have to stand/walk on the job (food service, retail, teachers, etc). The women in Copenhagen wear sneakers with their bright summer dresses and they look amazing. In LA we wear sneakers everywhere, because we are more casual. Heeled sandals and even ballet flats aren’t practical or comfortable, and may not have arch support that people need to stay comfortable in every day life. There are plenty of sneakers/tennis shoes that are cute and stylish. It just takes creativity to pair the right ones with the right outfit. You should try it out sometime!
I completely agree for busy bees that go from work to meetings to shopping and back to work (like myself) sneakers are a life saver but Freddy is just telling us her perspective on style and her lifestyle can easily support that so I completely understand her point of view
Amber Nelson are leggings or sweatpants considered gym clothes if so i dont agree with that sometimes people want to be comfortable and we still make them cute so i dont see the problem🙄
Freddy: No to black tights Freddy: *puts together the cutest look with a black tight* I'm way cold-blooded, I can't have one inch of skin showing or I WILL freeze to death. But I do see what you mean tho
I loved this video and I agree with them all except the black tights one. They are my everyday wear and they are the key to my outfit. I rather think it’s very very VERY wrong to wear white tights in winter or autumn. That is not the right time to wear white, use that colour in spring or summer. Black tights will never go out of style, but I do agree that something different or with a pattern will be a good change. But please never say again that they are a fashion faux, because they definitely aren’t. Other than that, I completely agree with you.
Same with me! 100 %. I Do consider myself pretty fashionable daily but I love Black tights actually. I agree with freddy on every other point but the tights I will Not give up 😇
I agree except for the "That is not the right time to wear white, use that colour in spring or summer" statement. We don't have to give up our style and favourite colours just because it's a different season. There's nothing I love more in winter than a cosy white jumper 😍 Sure, you'll need to style the colour differently (I don't think white tights would be a good look either) but I don't agree with the whole colours-belong-to-certain-seasons mentality.
Your clothes always look flawless. And if you don't want to wear tights, that's your choice...but I will forever argue that black tights are fine and fake tan is NOT. Fake tan ALWAYS looks fake. :-/
Don't touch my black tights! 😂I can't imagine my autumn outfits without my lovely black tights in ankle boots 😀😀😀 Otherwise, I agree with everything else 😊
The way you felt when your dad said about uggs is the same as most people feel about black tights and sneakers! I know this is just your personal opinion so I think everyone should chill! Love all around❤️❤️❤️
What about wanting to be modest and also wanting to wear cute skirts and dresses? I always wear black tights... :(... Idk if I am the only one, but I have different moods, sometimes i want to be over the top extra like Freddy, dressing up in cute skirts, heels and dresses. Sometimes I like a Adidas or Levi’s jumper with jeans and trainers. I have a huge collection. Am i the only one, my wardrobe could half be Freddy and also the brand stuff she says. Hahaa
Ilnaz Meh me too I wear them every day. I think over the knee boots only look good on some people other wise they look tacky . Black tights for the win ☝🏼
I agree. I think curvy women can't pull off over the knee boots because it looks different than on more slim figures. I love my black tights, I can't believe I thought about donating them when Freddy mentioned it.
Labels on the bottom of your shoes - YES. I don’t think anyone has mentioned this yet. Congrats on almost 1 million🙌😊. I’ve been watching you for so long 💕😊
Over the knee boots look so much more casual than black tights and heels. Black tights and heels are amazing and look so sleek, especially if the heels are black too.
Actually Freddy Black tights make girls with chunkier legs than some have an illusion to make them look thinner that’s why we tend to wear darker clothing too because it tricks your eyes the darker the clothes the slimmer you look. This 100% applies to me that’s y I whe re black jeans instead of white jeans blue or washed out colour jeans
Marwa Ha I can imagine a girl wearing just a cute MK little backpack and some nice fashionable and immaculate snkeakers and looking soooo good! With jeans, a dress,... Anything!
Black tights are an essential! I also have to disagree with a showing bra in some occasions. I have a lot of sheer tops that I wear with the purpose of showing off a pretty lacy bra I have lol. Agree with most of these though!
I actually feel sorry for RUclipsrs! You have to consider how many people could possibly be offended by the silliest most innocuous comment. Your whole career could be ruined in a moment....
I have to disclaim everything: even the air! Ah, I love Freddy’s sense of humor so much 😂 Amazing video as always! Editing on point, style on point, each of 10 faux pas explained in a totally Freddy way! ✨💕
I feel you on the disclaimer thing - you shouldn't have to apologize for offering fashion advice on your channel which centers around fashion!!! I personally love black tights and won't stop wearing them (sorry lol) but I genuinely appreciate your honesty and staying true to your style!
I understand taking the price tags and hanging loops off of clothing, but in this day and age of resale, charity shops, and thrifting I wonder if other labels should be removed? I would think people buying used clothing might appreciate knowing the brand and the washing instructions. Just a thought - carry on! LOVE your content, style and presentation!
@@unicornsprinkles3277 I agree and my clothes do make me feel good, my labels normally don't scratch, only on the rare occassion (and in that case I do cut them out! I would never want to wear something uncomfortable!)
Omg, as someone who works in a charity shop I couldn't agree more!! It's so annoying, especially when there's no indication of the brand and how to price. Even more so when the size is cut out too!
decades by dianne • I’m very precise about washing things and I would never remove tags with the materials and washing instructions from clothes! I just want to always check it, even though I’m often more careful with washing than what the instructions say.
I understand why you mentioned black tights especially when paired with white clothing but I don't always wear light coloured clothing and black tights really compliment them. Also black tights is super flattering on brown and black skin. I do however think the alternative is grey tights I wear them a lot as well during the winter months 💕
I cannot agree more with number 4. Faux designer bags especially obvious ones look so cringy. There's nothing wrong with buying an inspired bag, but why bother getting a faux LV? Just get a cute, affordable bag and call it a day. I love this video and I think it's very helpful! Actually, your pillowcase hack is something I still do to avoid getting my makeup on my collars!
Nothing worse than not being able to walk in your shoes. Once I saw three girls hanging on to each other for balance. Since they were all on stilts it was like watching human dominoes
The only thing I can absolutely not agree with is the tights topic! Flesh colored tights are THE worst and ugliest thing ever and should be avoided at all costs. Same goes for little nude toe socks in ballerinas. That said - great video!
Angela Riedler I disagree with the nude coloured tights but ewww I hate those toe socks in ballet flats, they ALWAYS peek out and look hideous! I’d rather have sweaty feet at the end of the day
For me personally, I tend to go for the fitted:flowy ratio. Flowy Top:Skinny Jeans/Fitted Top:Flowy Trousers/Skirt. I still feel I am evolving in my style and love learning new things about what works for me, and I love watching your videos and listening to the advice you have to take away with me x
But for example in your Pandora video Coco also wears that gorgeous black floral dress with black tights and I thought it looked absolutely stunning! Didn‘t you also choose that outfit?
No sneakers?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Can anyone imagine walking the dog for 1-1.5 hours daily in high heals?! Running and playing with it in heals?! Daily?!?!? OMG Freddy... that was a good one 😂😂😂
Aw Freddy, love ya but I'm never giving up my black tights, I'd paint my legs black opaque if I could 🤣 love your video as ever but respectfully disagreeing on the tights 😘
honestly I totally agree with her and her tips and am glad someone else thinks so! Sneakers can be for running and athletic stuff but not fashion! And they're trendy because looking lazy and effortless or 'street' is a trend right now so it's not for women who love and aren't afraid of looking polished and put-together! And that's what I feel her style and videos focus on a polished look, except black tights being a personal preference ( I prefer boots over black tights but I don't exactly hate black tights). But overall I love the feminine look she expresses.
A tip I've always followed by for backless tops but not feeling comfortable not wearing a bra is having selection of nice lacey bralettes, they can be styled so well
I think black tights look right with an outfit if you’re also wearing black items - I often do black tights, black boots, patterned skirt (usually one with black running in it) and a neutral top like cream or another colour that is in the skirt 🤷🏼♀️ x
Even though Freddy is not a ginger, with that headband and fringe, she's kinda giving me Daphne Blake from Scooby-Doo vibes. I think it'd be fun if she tried a Daphne-inspired look book. Daphne has that 60s look since the cartoon started then and even though she wears more purple, she wears some pink too.
Hey girl, I like that you started your faux pas vlog by saying these things are your opinions and you ended the vlog by inviting us to explore our own self and express our thoughts in your comments...... Well done 👏 Freddy!!!!
I agree! I'm 13 and so many people my age go out in lounge wear (no offense)! I could never do it no matter how trendy it is and I thought I was going insane, but now I know that you and others agree with me!
Disagree on sneakers + black tights! Sneakers can be perfect! Especially for a day of being out and about, shopping, etc. But otherwise always appreciate your tips :) Steamers and de-pillers are life. And I never mix gold and silver 😐
Finally someone isn’t promoting this less is more capsule wardrobe style ! I love to have fun with my clothes not for it to be boring. Also my wardrobe has a lot of pink like yours ! Lol
The inspiration for my style- I’ve not always had this style and it’s definitely a change over time every time I buy a new piece! I love it though- it started to make me enjoy shopping again
My legs would freeze off in those thin tights for sure 😂 In my country in winter it's like -20 degrees Celsius sometimes. The only way I can wear skirts and dresses is with over-the-knee boots and thick tights underneath. I can't imagine having my upper thighs and bum out like that. I'd be having a cold non stop.
Suggestion: can we see your jumpers/sweaters and knitwear tops collection? I love this category so would love a video on it. Perhaps you can include them in a “autumn/winter clothes wardrobe haul” soon? 👍 Like if you want to see an AUTUMN wardrobe haul from Freddy 👍
Honestly, I’m with you on the bra situation, it is one of my biggest pet peeves seeing bra straps, especially when people have bra straps and a strapless top, or the bra is a different colour to the straps of a top. I might be being insensitive but JUST WEAR A STRAPLESS BRA!!!! same goes for underwear, seamless all the way! Nothing worse than VPL’s!!! Xxx love this vid! Xx
"oh god I hope it's mine" 😂 this part was really funny and as usual I really enjoyed your video Freddy. Also, I totally with you regarding all the fashion faux pas. xoxo from France 💕
Honestly once I started tailoring my clothes (especially pants) I feel like a new human being and going shopping isnt that frustrating anymore.. since I am in between sizes. Best advice ever
You can have everything on point.. but if your lipstick is everywhere, or your nails are just nog it.. nobody is goint to notice your amazing style 😌 you should start with your natural beauty. Loved the video!!! You are seriously reading my mind ❣️
I never get to wear certain tops because I have a larger chest and REFUSE to let my bra show!! I dont know how people's friends /family allow people to go out like that because mine wouldn't
honestly i just stopped caring because like it's not that embarrassing everyone knows im wearing a bra anyway plus rn bras are a big fashion thing at my school
Evie Hodgson as a bigger-boobed gal, apart from in low-back tops I’m so over trying to hide my bra straps! I just make them match my top and I think they look fine - not tacky at all😅
I looove your outfit hacks! I always feel so classy and feminine after I watched your videos. Could you do a outfit autumn edition? 💕 That would be amazing 💕
It's so strange because we have such different styles but I just LOVE your videos, you're very witty and so eloquent - plus, everything is always so well shot and presented :)
The faux pas about trends was soooo spot on. Totally agree. Say it louder for the people in the back!!! Some trends are so cringe and not stylish at all. But love you and these videos so much
I totally agree with gym wear, sneakers and the other stuff you said, but the black tights left me in shock. I think they look very elegant on winter/autumn, specially if you wear them with a plaid skirt or dark outfit.
" This isn't me telling you what to do at all, of coarse you can do what you want. These are just my tips on how to make the most out of your style. Always look the best that you can be, I Don't KNow whY Anyone wOuLd not Want to Do that. But if you don't the that is absolutely FINE. Nothing I post on my channel is fact or the law, it's purely my opinion and to be honest I'm the hypocrite, because I'M the one who's always telling You that you shouldn't care what other people think of you. Do your own thing and do what makes you happy, so if hat's what you want to do and ignore me totally then I actually really respect you for that to0. Ok. Ugh my god I feel like I'm going mad these days, I feel like I have to disclaim everything just in case even the air I BReaTHEE. AnyWAY..." - Freddy ❤️😂
You should do a video where you style your fashion faux pas!!! I know all of these are just your opinion, and I pretty much agree with everything except your position on black tights..... I love them. I mean I’d prefer a year long summer, but in winter I think a pair of black tights can fit nicely into an outfit.
Congrats on almost a million! Hope you get it! When I came to England I had some tips on what to bring and to wear. NO ATHLETIC SHOES, NO SWEAT PANTS OR SWEAT SHIRTS OR CLOTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE IN TH E GYM. NO COLLEGE OR LOGO SHIRTS WITH YOUR UNI ON IT. NO CLOTHING WITH FLAGS ON IT. As an American, lots of these things were a challenge. People like to wear tennis shoes or athletic shoes everywhere because they are good walking shoes. Spandex and athleisure wear is worn here almost everywhere. Now that listening to your No no's, I totally see where you are coming from being English. I painstakingly chose walking shoes and clothing that fit the more fashionable look of Brits. I was worried about bright colors so I took mostly blues and blacks and some white tees with a couple of colored tops. I did end up wearing a cute hat that I bought in Bath at the fashion museum. It kept the sun out of my face. BUT I love black tights although I haven't worn them in years. I do not wear dresses much because my feet have changed and I cannot find dress shoes comfortable enough to wear. I am trying though. Dresses are part of a girl's wardrobe. That last tip was a Coco Chanel tip. Take off one accessory before leaving the house. Good tip.
In nordic countries black (thermal) tights are life savers. I don't say I love them. Especially in March or April and it's still minus five and you have worn black tights since October. It's boring! But when you have winters with -10 or even -20 degrees you can't negotiate if you love or hate them. I try not to wear them with black skirts or dresses. I prefer grey, patterned or colourful skirts (blue, red) and light coloured tops. I try to wear light coloured coats as much as possible (if it's not muddy outside) and I have a pair of grey over the knee boots that I love. So I try to avoid black as much as possible but black tights is a necessity in winter. I sometimes put black leggings on top of them and wear over the knee boots and still feel freezingly cold.
I loved this list! I’m not really a classic dresser but I think hearing a classic prospective can keep people from going overboard. Can’t wait for next weeks video!
I only wear black tights with black bottoms as I live in Russia and I can’t walk bare legged, I’ll get hyperthermia. But with coloured bottoms? Never. Usually I wear thick black leggings outside as that way they match my shoes and coat, but then I take them off inside only leaving nude tights on which I have to wear for warmth and also because otherwise I’ll get told off by my professors at uni for being inappropriate
Marie Liberty Raven you have to wear nude tights indoors? Just curious because I’m American and I’ve been to Russia a couple of times and noticed girls wearing pantyhose all the time
Ester Tellez i’m a uni student and i’m there from 8 till 5 usually, so it’s really useful because i can still wear skirts in the dead of winter. My professors sometimes insist that i have to wear black tights because nude ones are not thick enough and i’m like “do you have ANY taste?”
your outfit on 12:14 would be cute for stylish girls when in school JUST TUCK THE SHIRT IN honestly the only thing making it look bad was how it wasnt tucked in but aside from that its honestly cute 💗
I just got my hair cut like yours!!! I love it!!! It’s such a cool, retro hair style and I don’t know why people told you not to get it cut is suits you so well!!! 🎀🎀
Who else wants freddy to do a blair waldorf inspired lookbook with white thights and white overknee socks etc? I would love to see many cute lookbooks on freddys chanel 😍😍😍 who else??
Oh yes i remember your beautiful Instagram story where you danced in your lemon skirt and blouse! And you were so right! Everyone should raise their confidence and dance when they want to dance... doesn't matter if you are the only one on the dance floor! ❤️💃
I was waiting for your new video the whole day . I enjoy watching your videos especially bc I'm a pink lover. I loveeeee gossip girl so I'm already excited for your new video ly Freddy . Greetings from Germany
I really loved the style of this video Freddy. Very cinematic. You're filming style has come so far in the last few years. I look forward to you hitting 1 million. 😘
Perfect video freddyyy so much effort and hard work 😚😚 I just feel so bad for you tubers having to disclaim literally EVERYTHING, seriously people just need to get over the fact that they may not share the same opinion and every other person in the world and it just personal preference 🤣🙄
Ok here some info on bubbly wool clothes : the bubbling thing of wool clothes is called pilling (Or so it is a specific name for the phenomenon in my native language). There are reasons for it happens and I'll try to sum them up here: Wool fibers can be divided into two categories: -short (below 5 centimeters) -long (from 5 up to 15 centimeters) It is important to make this differentiation because, the length of the fiber will determine the thickness of the thread, and therefore, of the fabric at the end. In addition to that, it also determines how much fibers will stay in place in the already mentioned thread used to make the fabric. The longer the fiber, the thinner the thread and fabric will be. Also the overall look of the fabric will be much neater. This neat look (the absence of a tiny layer of hairs already coming out of the fabric means fibers will stay in place longer in the threads usually). So if you don't want pilling look for thin wool fabrics where the threading of it is clearly visible. It will eventually happen anyway but in a much more controlled manner. What if your fabric it's a blend of synthetic and wool? Stick with going for a neat looking fabric and respect suggested temperatures while washing or ironing (you can put something over clothes to prevent heat from burning fibers) that way fibers won't burn and stick out.
I personally think that a dainty lace bra is more beautiful than sheer plastic straps showing, if you can't go braless or wear a stick-on, but it depends on the garment of course! Beautiful thing about style is that everyone has their own. You had good points here!
I’d wear leggings etc around the house and all I was doing in the day would be walking the dog or walking to the local co op but I would NEVER dream of going out to town in leggings but I would also wear them on a plane
I've always hated black tights as well as trainers. I think I've only ever bought them because I felt i had to because everyone else has them. I will definitely invest in some over the knee boots this autumn!
"No one would ever know where it was from" Im from Singapore, and Charles and Keith is VERY recognisable here. My mum once told me, she brought a Charles and Keith bag to the office and her colleague told her to get a better bag. (She definitely could afford to buy high end because everyone in that section was of a certain rank. But the culture was brutally shallow)
Also no offense but I think the reason you don't like black tights is because maybe nothing in your wardrobe goes with them because it's all pink, white, and very light hues. Honestly some of the best outfits go with black tights
@Reality Troll and an opinion can be answered with another
@Reality Troll of course you can. You can comment, you can add things, you can have a different opinion all the time. What would this world even be if we couldn't say things to each other?

@Reality Troll but don't worry, next time I'll make sure to say "and an opinion can be disagreed with" :)
Pls watch gossip girl TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS
I do agree with so many of faux pas you mentioned but don't agree with black tights. They are the best thing in winter to keep me warm and look great.
Yeah same. I think black tights can look sooo chic and elegant!
Agreed. Black tights worn the right and chic way and paired with the right shoe type and hem length look good!
I thought you had a friendly profile picture so I'm going to ask something I've been wondering for a while. If that's okki! What accent does Freddy have? Does she have a London accent, a posh accent, a RP accent? I'm trying to learn English but I'm so lost with all the British accents 🙈 sorry if I bothered. Cheers! 🌸🌸

maybe because her general clothing is bright colored? And then a black tight kind of ruin your outfit..
I'm bummed you would rather wear over the knee boots over black tights. You look very pretty with them. There's a sleekness to them that over the knee boots don't have.
I agree. But I love all the options she showed. Over the knee boots, patterned and black and white tights all look amazing to me
Agreed! I wear them pretty much every day in winter :)
I have also found the type of shoe you wear them with can make a huge difference to the way they look on you and I’ve finally found my favourite types of shoes to wear to really class them up :)
I think it depends on the opacity of the tights too! Really dark thick tights look a little too extreme. But more sheer black stockings look timeless, sliming, and classy.
I agree, think black tights are way more attractive.
i completely disagree with the black tights one. even in the clips you showed in the video, the black tights look far more sleek and elegant than the over the knee boots.
I agree I feel as if over the knee boots can look almost red light district personally!
Totally agree!!!
s y I don’t think so, but I understand why people wear them. It just depends on what your color scheme is.
It’s her opinion, like she said
Personally, I wear my OTK boots WITH my black tights. The thing that bothers me more is when people wear hosiery of any kind with open tied shoes or sandals. That's the one that always gets me.

Sneakers can be cute, but I just don't think they go with dresses/skirts for MOST people. If you're model tall and thin, there are other rules for you XD

Sketchers have saved me as I have hip problems and their shoes are work friendly but sneaker comfortable.
Angela Riedler I’m so with you ! Black tights look a LOT nicer than high over the knee boots too or too much leg out
I completely agree for busy bees that go from work to meetings to shopping and back to work (like myself) sneakers are a life saver but Freddy is just telling us her perspective on style and her lifestyle can easily support that so I completely understand her point of view
freddy's style paired with sneakers are honestly cute as long as its the right color 😂😂
Amber Nelson are leggings or sweatpants considered gym clothes if so i dont agree with that sometimes people want to be comfortable and we still make them cute so i dont see the problem🙄
I love black tights! I love tights in general but black tights really help with making a outfit look more professional and for keeping me warm! :)
I personally don’t like when an article of clothing you are wearing under a coat or something is noticeably longer than your outwear. It just bugs me!
OH MY GOD YES!!!
Exactly! Everytime I see someone with a midi skirt and a trench coat... or any longer coat which is not long enough... 🙀
Unless it's a long dress like a floor length dress for an event then go for it but you dont want to look like you're not wearing anyhting under it !!
Yes 100% unless you’re wearing something like a cropped jacket as a statement ☺️
Yessss, miss me with that long OPEN cardigan and cropped CLOSED jacket. That looks terrible.
Could you do a university style video? Cute outfits that you can wear at uni?
Lord Farquaad i second this
she'll totally slay the preppy look! excited for this if ever ❤️
Lord Farquaad yes please
Yess need this!!

Freddy: No to black tights

I loved this video and I agree with them all except the black tights one. They are my everyday wear and they are the key to my outfit. I rather think it’s very very VERY wrong to wear white tights in winter or autumn. That is not the right time to wear white, use that colour in spring or summer.
Black tights will never go out of style, but I do agree that something different or with a pattern will be a good change. But please never say again that they are a fashion faux, because they definitely aren’t.
Other than that, I completely agree with you.
Same with me! 100 %. I Do consider myself pretty fashionable daily but I love Black tights actually. I agree with freddy on every other point but the tights I will Not give up 😇
I agree except for the "That is not the right time to wear white, use that colour in spring or summer" statement. We don't have to give up our style and favourite colours just because it's a different season. There's nothing I love more in winter than a cosy white jumper 😍 Sure, you'll need to style the colour differently (I don't think white tights would be a good look either) but I don't agree with the whole colours-belong-to-certain-seasons mentality.
100% agree
A white coat can look soooo good in winter!
If you don’t think white tights can look good in winter, you should watch Gossip Girl :)
Your clothes always look flawless. And if you don't want to wear tights, that's your choice...but I will forever argue that black tights are fine and fake tan is NOT. Fake tan ALWAYS looks fake. :-/

Don't touch my black tights! 😂I can't imagine my autumn outfits without my lovely black tights in ankle boots 😀😀😀 Otherwise, I agree with everything else 😊
The way you felt when your dad said about uggs is the same as most people feel about black tights and sneakers! I know this is just your personal opinion so I think everyone should chill! Love all around❤️❤️❤️
What about wanting to be modest and also wanting to wear cute skirts and dresses? I always wear black tights... :(...
Idk if I am the only one, but I have different moods, sometimes i want to be over the top extra like Freddy, dressing up in cute skirts, heels and dresses. Sometimes I like a Adidas or Levi’s jumper with jeans and trainers. I have a huge collection. Am i the only one, my wardrobe could half be Freddy and also the brand stuff she says. Hahaa
Ilnaz Meh me too I wear them every day. I think over the knee boots only look good on some people other wise they look tacky . Black tights for the win ☝🏼
I agree. I think curvy women can't pull off over the knee boots because it looks different than on more slim figures. I love my black tights, I can't believe I thought about donating them when Freddy mentioned it.
me too as i love summer dresses but thanks to the air con it's permanent winter in my office. And i get tons of compliments
I also like black tights and other opaque tights, they let me wear mini skirts, shorts and mini dresses ;)
Me too. I dress for my moods a lot of the time.
Labels on the bottom of your shoes - YES. I don’t think anyone has mentioned this yet. Congrats on almost 1 million🙌😊. I’ve been watching you for so long 💕😊
Over the knee boots look so much more casual than black tights and heels. Black tights and heels are amazing and look so sleek, especially if the heels are black too.
I will never give up black tights ❤️
Sneakers are the trendiest shoe right now - I think it's a mistake to call it a fashion faux pas!
Miss P it’s trampy
@@issy8330 Guess I'm a tramp then :)
Miss P as are about 80% of the population by this rule 😂
Agnetha Yes, I agree - it’s all about how you style them! True about any item of clothing ☺️
It's trendy, but it's not exactly timeless and her fashion tips tend to be more on the timeless side, so maybe that's the reason!
Actually Freddy Black tights make girls with chunkier legs than some have an illusion to make them look thinner that’s why we tend to wear darker clothing too because it tricks your eyes the darker the clothes the slimmer you look. This 100% applies to me that’s y I whe re black jeans instead of white jeans blue or washed out colour jeans
Oh finally someone speaks out about those biker shorts esp when thay wear that with heels and coat!!!Gooood!!THAT LOOKS UGLY!!
Girl, wearing sneakers and a backpack doesn't make you look plain. You just don't know how to style casual outfits.
Marwa Ha I can imagine a girl wearing just a cute MK little backpack and some nice fashionable and immaculate snkeakers and looking soooo good! With jeans, a dress,... Anything!
Completely agree. I was honestly shocked at the idea that she wouldn’t even wear sneakers to go shopping.
Ro Sie you totally can look chic with sneakers.
Ro Sie yes yes I know. This was also just my opinion 😅
Calm the fuck down. She bloody said *it is only her opinion* . Don't get offended or protective over someone's opinion.
Black tights are an essential! I also have to disagree with a showing bra in some occasions. I have a lot of sheer tops that I wear with the purpose of showing off a pretty lacy bra I have lol. Agree with most of these though!
I actually feel sorry for RUclipsrs! You have to consider how many people could possibly be offended by the silliest most innocuous comment. Your whole career could be ruined in a moment....
I totally agree, can't be easy.
I have to disclaim everything: even the air! Ah, I love Freddy’s sense of humor so much 😂
Amazing video as always! Editing on point, style on point, each of 10 faux pas explained in a totally Freddy way! ✨💕
I feel you on the disclaimer thing - you shouldn't have to apologize for offering fashion advice on your channel which centers around fashion!!!
I personally love black tights and won't stop wearing them (sorry lol) but I genuinely appreciate your honesty and staying true to your style!
I understand taking the price tags and hanging loops off of clothing, but in this day and age of resale, charity shops, and thrifting I wonder if other labels should be removed? I would think people buying used clothing might appreciate knowing the brand and the washing instructions. Just a thought - carry on! LOVE your content, style and presentation!
decades by dianne I get your point but your clothes are meant to make you feel good and labels will scratch at you and ruin the look
@@unicornsprinkles3277 I agree and my clothes do make me feel good, my labels normally don't scratch, only on the rare occassion (and in that case I do cut them out! I would never want to wear something uncomfortable!)
good point!
Omg, as someone who works in a charity shop I couldn't agree more!! It's so annoying, especially when there's no indication of the brand and how to price. Even more so when the size is cut out too!
decades by dianne • I’m very precise about washing things and I would never remove tags with the materials and washing instructions from clothes! I just want to always check it, even though I’m often more careful with washing than what the instructions say.
I'm for the team black tight :p Nude tight are in Belgium and France now known as a fashion faux pas, but black... first time I hear.
I understand why you mentioned black tights especially when paired with white clothing but I don't always wear light coloured clothing and black tights really compliment them. Also black tights is super flattering on brown and black skin. I do however think the alternative is grey tights I wear them a lot as well during the winter months 💕
I cannot agree more with number 4. Faux designer bags especially obvious ones look so cringy. There's nothing wrong with buying an inspired bag, but why bother getting a faux LV? Just get a cute, affordable bag and call it a day. I love this video and I think it's very helpful! Actually, your pillowcase hack is something I still do to avoid getting my makeup on my collars!
Libby Audrey yes!! And if you can’t afford designer (like myself) there’s nothing wrong with a good-quality river island bag that still looks great!
Nothing worse than not being able to walk in your shoes. Once I saw three girls hanging on to each other for balance. Since they were all on stilts it was like watching human dominoes
The only thing I can absolutely not agree with is the tights topic! Flesh colored tights are THE worst and ugliest thing ever and should be avoided at all costs. Same goes for little nude toe socks in ballerinas. That said - great video!
Angela Riedler I disagree with the nude coloured tights but ewww I hate those toe socks in ballet flats, they ALWAYS peek out and look hideous! I’d rather have sweaty feet at the end of the day
The moment we’ve all been waiting for! A Blair Waldorf look book 🙈😇
Soo excited xx
Hopefully
For me personally, I tend to go for the fitted:flowy ratio. Flowy Top:Skinny Jeans/Fitted Top:Flowy Trousers/Skirt.
I still feel I am evolving in my style and love learning new things about what works for me, and I love watching your videos and listening to the advice you have to take away with me x
But for example in your Pandora video Coco also wears that gorgeous black floral dress with black tights and I thought it looked absolutely stunning! Didn‘t you also choose that outfit?
No sneakers?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Can anyone imagine walking the dog for 1-1.5 hours daily in high heals?! Running and playing with it in heals?! Daily?!?!? OMG Freddy... that was a good one 😂😂😂
I agree but did you ever hear of flats fam??
@@rachelmoon1885 No
@@bubaurata search them up, they are really comfortable shoes
That counts as exercise, she said she wears trainers when she exercises:)
Aw Freddy, love ya but I'm never giving up my black tights, I'd paint my legs black opaque if I could 🤣 love your video as ever but respectfully disagreeing on the tights 😘
honestly I totally agree with her and her tips and am glad someone else thinks so! Sneakers can be for running and athletic stuff but not fashion! And they're trendy because looking lazy and effortless or 'street' is a trend right now so it's not for women who love and aren't afraid of looking polished and put-together!
And that's what I feel her style and videos focus on a polished look, except black tights being a personal preference ( I prefer boots over black tights but I don't exactly hate black tights). But overall I love the feminine look she expresses.
I agree with all of them but the one about black tights is absolutely bonkers. I love how they look. Super chic and cozy!
A tip I've always followed by for backless tops but not feeling comfortable not wearing a bra is having selection of nice lacey bralettes, they can be styled so well
I just can’t with heels I wear trainers with any outfit even going out I don’t care 😂😂
I loveee the headband trend 💓💓 you suit them so much ! xx
I think black tights look right with an outfit if you’re also wearing black items - I often do black tights, black boots, patterned skirt (usually one with black running in it) and a neutral top like cream or another colour that is in the skirt 🤷🏼♀️ x
Even though Freddy is not a ginger, with that headband and fringe, she's kinda giving me Daphne Blake from Scooby-Doo vibes. I think it'd be fun if she tried a Daphne-inspired look book. Daphne has that 60s look since the cartoon started then and even though she wears more purple, she wears some pink too.
Hey girl, I like that you started your faux pas vlog by saying these things are your opinions and you ended the vlog by inviting us to explore our own self and express our thoughts in your comments......
Well done 👏 Freddy!!!!
As a fellow virgo perfectionist I really appreciate how well edited this video is. 😍
Yes 100% agree
I agree! I'm 13 and so many people my age go out in lounge wear (no offense)! I could never do it no matter how trendy it is and I thought I was going insane, but now I know that you and others agree with me!
Disagree on sneakers + black tights! Sneakers can be perfect! Especially for a day of being out and about, shopping, etc. But otherwise always appreciate your tips :) Steamers and de-pillers are life. And I never mix gold and silver 😐
Finally someone isn’t promoting this less is more capsule wardrobe style ! I love to have fun with my clothes not for it to be boring. Also my wardrobe has a lot of pink like yours ! Lol
The inspiration for my style- I’ve not always had this style and it’s definitely a change over time every time I buy a new piece! I love it though- it started to make me enjoy shopping again
My legs would freeze off in those thin tights for sure 😂 In my country in winter it's like -20 degrees Celsius sometimes. The only way I can wear skirts and dresses is with over-the-knee boots and thick tights underneath. I can't imagine having my upper thighs and bum out like that. I'd be having a cold non stop.
Ahhh I love black tights! But I do agree, patterned tights are much much better than black.
"Even my boyfriend says Freddy I found another blonde hair in my boot, oh god I hope it's mine" 😂 I lost it
The best fashion advice, the best hairstyle and the best youtuber💁🏻♀️
I agree with them all, except the black tights! I think they are a key part of autumn/winter, and I really look forward to wearing them each year!
Suggestion: can we see your jumpers/sweaters and knitwear tops collection? I love this category so would love a video on it. Perhaps you can include them in a “autumn/winter clothes wardrobe haul” soon?
👍 Like if you want to see an AUTUMN wardrobe haul from Freddy 👍
Honestly, I’m with you on the bra situation, it is one of my biggest pet peeves seeing bra straps, especially when people have bra straps and a strapless top, or the bra is a different colour to the straps of a top. I might be being insensitive but JUST WEAR A STRAPLESS BRA!!!! same goes for underwear, seamless all the way! Nothing worse than VPL’s!!! Xxx love this vid! Xx
"oh god I hope it's mine" 😂 this part was really funny and as usual I really enjoyed your video Freddy.
Also, I totally with you regarding all the fashion faux pas. xoxo from France 💕
Some ppl are having a go at her slightly but she said at the start that they are just her opinions
(just saying)xxx
lysm Freddy I love ur videos ❤️❤️
Nothing wrong with black tights!!
Honestly once I started tailoring my clothes (especially pants) I feel like a new human being and going shopping isnt that frustrating anymore.. since I am in between sizes. Best advice ever
You can have everything on point.. but if your lipstick is everywhere, or your nails are just nog it.. nobody is goint to notice your amazing style 😌 you should start with your natural beauty. Loved the video!!! You are seriously reading my mind ❣️
I never get to wear certain tops because I have a larger chest and REFUSE to let my bra show!! I dont know how people's friends /family allow people to go out like that because mine wouldn't
Evie Hodgson finally someone that gets me! 😂😘
@@sophiediosi4072 it's such a shame because I love strapless tops but it's for the greater good hahaha!
honestly i just stopped caring because like it's not that embarrassing everyone knows im wearing a bra anyway plus rn bras are a big fashion thing at my school
Evie Hodgson as a bigger-boobed gal, apart from in low-back tops I’m so over trying to hide my bra straps! I just make them match my top and I think they look fine - not tacky at all😅
@@ellieburgoyne3422 I envy your confidence but my straps are too thick and bulky it does not look good :/ but u do u boo we love a coordinated queen
omg! Even if I am not the first, I was never so early! I love you so much Freddy!💕 You are so beautiful and I love your aesthetic so much!
paris yip yes I totally agree
I looove your outfit hacks! I always feel so classy and feminine after I watched your videos. Could you do a outfit autumn edition? 💕 That would be amazing 💕
Yes there will be lots of autumn clothes soon 💕💕
I think a big fashion Fauxpas is also if you were two different colored striped clothes! For example a pink striped skirt and a blue striped t shirt!😂
It's so strange because we have such different styles but I just LOVE your videos, you're very witty and so eloquent - plus, everything is always so well shot and presented :)
12:11 Freddy looked so uncomfortable in her "casual" outfit, I'm dying 😂
The faux pas about trends was soooo spot on. Totally agree. Say it louder for the people in the back!!! Some trends are so cringe and not stylish at all. But love you and these videos so much
I totally agree with gym wear, sneakers and the other stuff you said, but the black tights left me in shock. I think they look very elegant on winter/autumn, specially if you wear them with a plaid skirt or dark outfit.
She literally put a whole disclamer that this is her opinion and that you do not have to listen to it. Keep up the good work 😘
" This isn't me telling you what to do at all, of coarse you can do what you want. These are just my tips on how to make the most out of your style. Always look the best that you can be, I Don't KNow whY Anyone wOuLd not Want to Do that. But if you don't the that is absolutely FINE.

Thank you so much Freddy, your my favorite you tuber. Sending love. This means so much. 😱💗
You should do a video where you style your fashion faux pas!!!
I know all of these are just your opinion, and I pretty much agree with everything except your position on black tights..... I love them. I mean I’d prefer a year long summer, but in winter I think a pair of black tights can fit nicely into an outfit.
Congrats on almost a million! Hope you get it! When I came to England I had some tips on what to bring and to wear. NO ATHLETIC SHOES, NO SWEAT PANTS OR SWEAT SHIRTS OR CLOTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE IN TH E GYM. NO COLLEGE OR LOGO SHIRTS WITH YOUR UNI ON IT. NO CLOTHING WITH FLAGS ON IT. As an American, lots of these things were a challenge. People like to wear tennis shoes or athletic shoes everywhere because they are good walking shoes. Spandex and athleisure wear is worn here almost everywhere. Now that listening to your No no's, I totally see where you are coming from being English. I painstakingly chose walking shoes and clothing that fit the more fashionable look of Brits. I was worried about bright colors so I took mostly blues and blacks and some white tees with a couple of colored tops. I did end up wearing a cute hat that I bought in Bath at the fashion museum. It kept the sun out of my face. BUT I love black tights although I haven't worn them in years. I do not wear dresses much because my feet have changed and I cannot find dress shoes comfortable enough to wear. I am trying though. Dresses are part of a girl's wardrobe. That last tip was a Coco Chanel tip. Take off one accessory before leaving the house. Good tip.
You should do a look on your going out outfits for the club! Would love to see your style on a night out!
In nordic countries black (thermal) tights are life savers. I don't say I love them. Especially in March or April and it's still minus five and you have worn black tights since October. It's boring! But when you have winters with -10 or even -20 degrees you can't negotiate if you love or hate them. I try not to wear them with black skirts or dresses. I prefer grey, patterned or colourful skirts (blue, red) and light coloured tops. I try to wear light coloured coats as much as possible (if it's not muddy outside) and I have a pair of grey over the knee boots that I love. So I try to avoid black as much as possible but black tights is a necessity in winter. I sometimes put black leggings on top of them and wear over the knee boots and still feel freezingly cold.
Try buying ballet tights to use as white tights. The material is better, definitely more comfy, and might be a bit more flattering.
I loved this list! I’m not really a classic dresser but I think hearing a classic prospective can keep people from going overboard. Can’t wait for next weeks video!
Hopefully, a Blair Waldorf lookbook video next week. The moment we all have been waiting for!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Freddy I looove Gossip Girl ! Can't wait to see the next week video !
I only wear black tights with black bottoms as I live in Russia and I can’t walk bare legged, I’ll get hyperthermia. But with coloured bottoms? Never. Usually I wear thick black leggings outside as that way they match my shoes and coat, but then I take them off inside only leaving nude tights on which I have to wear for warmth and also because otherwise I’ll get told off by my professors at uni for being inappropriate
Marie Liberty Raven you have to wear nude tights indoors? Just curious because I’m American and I’ve been to Russia a couple of times and noticed girls wearing pantyhose all the time
Ester Tellez not to school. Like if you work or just hang around that’s not an issue.
Ester Tellez i’m a uni student and i’m there from 8 till 5 usually, so it’s really useful because i can still wear skirts in the dead of winter. My professors sometimes insist that i have to wear black tights because nude ones are not thick enough and i’m like “do you have ANY taste?”
your outfit on 12:14 would be cute for stylish girls when in school JUST TUCK THE SHIRT IN honestly the only thing making it look bad was how it wasnt tucked in but aside from that its honestly cute 💗
I just got my hair cut like yours!!! I love it!!! It’s such a cool, retro hair style and I don’t know why people told you not to get it cut is suits you so well!!! 🎀🎀
A 25 minute video! Freddy you are spoiling us!❤❤❤
Girl you will never be able to please everyone. Just keep your head up and disregard the negativity
Who else wants freddy to do a blair waldorf inspired lookbook with white thights and white overknee socks etc? I would love to see many cute lookbooks on freddys chanel 😍😍😍 who else??
She’s the real life Barbie! Pretty, cute and friendly blond girl giving you avice because she’s so nice and everyone looks up to her 💖

Oh yes i remember your beautiful Instagram story where you danced in your lemon skirt and blouse! And you were so right! Everyone should raise their confidence and dance when they want to dance... doesn't matter if you are the only one on the dance floor! ❤️💃
I was waiting for your new video the whole day . I enjoy watching your videos especially bc I'm a pink lover. I loveeeee gossip girl so I'm already excited for your new video ly Freddy .
Greetings from Germany
I really loved the style of this video Freddy. Very cinematic. You're filming style has come so far in the last few years. I look forward to you hitting 1 million. 😘
Perfect video freddyyy so much effort and hard work 😚😚 I just feel so bad for you tubers having to disclaim literally EVERYTHING, seriously people just need to get over the fact that they may not share the same opinion and every other person in the world and it just personal preference 🤣🙄
Ok here some info on bubbly wool clothes : the bubbling thing of wool clothes is called pilling (Or so it is a specific name for the phenomenon in my native language). There are reasons for it happens and I'll try to sum them up here:
Wool fibers can be divided into two categories:
-short (below 5 centimeters)
-long (from 5 up to 15 centimeters)
It is important to make this differentiation because, the length of the fiber will determine the thickness of the thread, and therefore, of the fabric at the end. In addition to that, it also determines how much fibers will stay in place in the already mentioned thread used to make the fabric.
The longer the fiber, the thinner the thread and fabric will be. Also the overall look of the fabric will be much neater. This neat look (the absence of a tiny layer of hairs already coming out of the fabric means fibers will stay in place longer in the threads usually).
So if you don't want pilling look for thin wool fabrics where the threading of it is clearly visible. It will eventually happen anyway but in a much more controlled manner.
What if your fabric it's a blend of synthetic and wool? Stick with going for a neat looking fabric and respect suggested temperatures while washing or ironing (you can put something over clothes to prevent heat from burning fibers) that way fibers won't burn and stick out.
Omg you literally look like Aurora from the sleeping beauty 😊. I love your videos, keep doing what you are doing beautiful! 🌸🌹🌺😘
Just found this channel today and I’m obsessed with her wardrobe palette.
I personally think that a dainty lace bra is more beautiful than sheer plastic straps showing, if you can't go braless or wear a stick-on, but it depends on the garment of course! Beautiful thing about style is that everyone has their own. You had good points here!
Hi Freddy, I’m going for white tights this winter, I don’t care what ppl say, we should do a coming back for those!!!
I’d wear leggings etc around the house and all I was doing in the day would be walking the dog or walking to the local co op but I would NEVER dream of going out to town in leggings but I would also wear them on a plane
I agree ☺️ love wearing leggings on a plane hehehee
I've always hated black tights as well as trainers. I think I've only ever bought them because I felt i had to because everyone else has them. I will definitely invest in some over the knee boots this autumn!
"No one would ever know where it was from"
Im from Singapore, and Charles and Keith is VERY recognisable here. My mum once told me, she brought a Charles and Keith bag to the office and her colleague told her to get a better bag. (She definitely could afford to buy high end because everyone in that section was of a certain rank. But the culture was brutally shallow)
