Hi lovely friends. What kind of sweaters do you feel most confident (and cosy!) in? How do you style them? We'd love to hear in our lovely community. Lots of love to you all. Deirdre. XX
Deirdre I love all the different sweaters and showing how to wear them. You look gorgeous in the chocolate and I loved you in the ivory. So many fun ways to wear our sweaters. Thank you for sharing. Sending loads of love Blessings Hugs Love Victoria ❤️❤️❤️
I’m sorry but I don’t consider £139 for one sweater ‘Affordable’ to myself or any woman that I know, even with 15% discount. I love your styling ideas though.
There is a new concept about having fewer but higher quality clothing pieces. This trend is to purchase fewer more expensive items and slow down on purchasing fast fashion which is always cheaper. I'm somewhere in the middle. It is also much more eco friendly to have fewer clothes. I agree with this but find it very hard. I'm really paying more attention to quality. I would love to own that beautiful gray sweater. I like sales a lot. I may take advantage of Deidre's discount to get that sweater. ( I refuse to purchase polyester anything)
I thank you Christine for your welcomed comment most probably noted from my short feedback. I love, where most winters can be below 30 degrees below and must admit the heating bills are high. I happen to foster many animals And thus keep living and snoring spaces warm. So, warm sweaters are My way of life. And sometimes under it , kept isolated An animal will make it through. Sometimes, there are choices to be made, I have done many. But a strife in me exists. And my old faithful cashmere sweater is still with me 45 years later. Very appreciated,
Thank you, Deidre for this wonderful and helpful video. I loved the red cardigan by Sezane and ordered two. I am now obsessed with the quality of them and will order again from them. Greetings from Germany
Thank you for this and all of your fabulous videos! I always enjoy them so much! I guess I’m an oddball because I prefer a v-neck because it looks more flattering on me. True that the crew neck is warmer -I only rarely wear a turtle neck or mock turtle neck because they make me look like my head is sitting on my shoulders 😅. …and no silk scarves around the neck. These are beautiful outfit and accessory ideas as always-a bit too expensive for me unfortunately using your links but understand that more expensive and /or quality clothes are usually better looking and theoretically hold up better over time. You get what you pay for, as the old saying goes!
I agree that V beck sweaters are much more flattering particularly if you have broad shoulders as I have! I don’t understand why crew necks are so popular.
Hi Deirdre another great video 🤩Although I have to disagree a bit about favourite sweater necks as my favourite is the V neck, so much so I used to get my mum to knit me V neck arran ones, and I still have a couple that I still wear. As I am a triangle with heavy bust, wide shoulders and no waist (short body long legs), I find crew necks up near the neck tend to make me look enormous! That said I do love a cardigan best ...Soooo snuggly and at nearly 5 foot 8 I can get away with the longer length ones for extra snug ability.
Hi Caroline. Thanks so much for sharing your views. It's so good in this space to have lots of different opinions and don't worry about disagreeing with me - everyone is different! I love a good v neck too!! Lots of love. XX
I loved that 2nd lily silk outfit on you Deirdre….just beautiful. Sadly I can’t wear any type of natural wool but will look out for man made fibres in these styles. I have those flat damson shoes from m and s and I love them..lived and died in the same style shoes in orange this summer ….so comfy. Thanks again Deirdre and Chanel for another great video. 🌸
I just moved my woolies out of winter storage, gave them a steaming and airing, then moved them into my main closet for the season. It’s still too warm for them here in Northern California, but it should cool down by mid-November. I’m longing to wear my autumn things like wool blazers, quilted or lady jackets, leather boots and cashmere skirts, dresses and sweaters. Summer seems to last forever here, which our British and other European residents love, but I like the change of seasons. Because San Francisco is such a tech hub, we have many UK/Euro friends here, we love them. We ❤ you, too, Deirdre, so chic and yet not at all preachy or condescending, just a classy, sweet personality. I would love it if you could recommend any brands on your side of The Pond that use natural-fiber fabrics, it’s nearly impossible to find them at US brands, Banana Republic is the only notable exception. I’ve had to replace my wardrobe this year and BR has got most of my business. Low prices are not important to me, only quality is, thank you for anything you can do on this. (No brand affiliations).
Hi Kimberly. What a great message, thank you! I love how you share all your sartorial experiences, they really enrich our community here. Thank you so much for your kind words about me too. I love all of you ladies. You may have noticed that my husband and I were in San Francisco for a couple of days in June this year. What a pity that we didn't meet up. I'd love to meet you. For natural fabric brands in the UK and Europe, I would definitely recommend Boden. They ship to the US too and have mainly natural fabrics, although some items are blends. They are real quality though. Other brands as well as Boden that come to mind (not affiliated with any of them, just genuine recommendations) are: Poetry, Sezane, Beaufort and Blake, Holland Cooper - and there are lots of others too! They're not cheap but they are quality. Hope this helps. XX
Hi Deidre. Love these outfits. Cosy and stylish. Could you do a video on casual outfits for flares? I've just bought a pair of black denim flares jeans and am trying to put outfits together. Other than a boxy sweater, I am at a loss as what to wear with them. I'm 5'4" US 14, UK size 16. Thank you!😊
I’m petite and I love a “cropped” sweater. These just cover my (high) waistband, which is so much more flattering than those outdated tunic-length ones. If available, I order petites, but that’s often not enough. I lose all my shape in a long sweater.
Hi Deidre, love your videos, I love sweaters however, since I live in Orlando Florida, we get very few chances to truly wear them. I prefer cashmere with cotton blends, I try to buy quality over quantity, love neutral colors, I am busty so I prefer v necks. Love the gray sweater, classy!
Hi Deirdre! Lovely outfits! I especially find the red sweater with the blue jeans and red shoes particularly outstanding! Maybe I'm thinking ahead to the holidays but this really caught my eye and it looks great on you!! Have a fabulous week!!
What a Sweetheart you are Deirdre! I love the varied options you put forward for us and you never fail to make me smile. Thank you for all your efforts. Love to you from Australia. 🇦🇺
I thought you looked really amazing in the first outfit, especially that shade of grey. I think M&S Autograph are a wonderful option for ‘affordable’ cashmere and John Lewis own brand. They also wash very well. I love the way you present your videos - always a great watch with a hot beverage 😂 Thank you so much for your output and the lovely way you present your content.
Lovely video. The crew neck doesn't work for me....v-neck works for me. That half zip sweater looks amazing! Unfortunately i can't wear anything with wool (even cashmere). But i really like half zips. The trousers were beautiful!
Thank you Deidre, this was so useful - just what I have been pondering on this week (and some lovely styling tips). V-necks and half-zips are best for me, but it has to be cotton as even a hint of wool is too itchy. Ps. I hope that you, and sweetheart Chanel, were not troubled too much by storm Ciaran last week in your spot on the south coast. xx
Hi Margaret. Lovely to hear from you. Actually, we did experience rather a lot of Storm Ciaran! Not a positive experience but I think other parts of the coast got it worse. Chanel says "meow!" XX
I have a fear of expensive sweaters! I can’t seem to wear any top without staining it. I am active and busy and maybe rush more than I should. I cook, paint, garden and stain right through aprons, no matter how hard I try to be tidy!
The crew sweater may be cozy- but I feel like it’s very shapeless& looks better on a man. I especially don’t like this crew neck sweater tucked it. Looks much better with the black jacket. Are scarves out?
Hi Deirdre, I have a questiion about cashmere sweaters. Should I buy cashmere in a larger seize or a smaller seize? Could you please answer my questiion maybe by a video or if not,possible, just with an written answer. Thanks, Elise from the Netherlands. P.s. please give a little cuttle from me to your sweet assistant/cat Chanel 😉
I am new to your channel and I love your videos. But I have one suggestion. 50% of women at age 50 are going through menopause and when they turn 55-56, 100% of them are in menopause. It is simply impossible to put on sweaters or turtle necks when you are hot and sweaty. Can you make a video on layering and how to be elegant but at the same time to avoid sweating in these hot sweaters? Thank you.
HI there and a big welcome to my channel. I totally agree with you about the menopause and issues that we all have. One way I deal with hot sweaters is to put a cotton t shirt underneath them which is breathable and keeps the wool away from the skin, whilst being warm. I don't know if you have seen my video on layering which you may find helpful: ruclips.net/video/OYqI1RkH8Dc/видео.html
I have some cardigans that I could wear as sweaters on their own, but I never think of wearing them that way! Thank you for the timely tips and I do hope you weathered the storm without too much trouble! ❤
Hi Deirdre, hope you're well. Absolutely amazing video as always I loved the red cardigan and jeans outfit the best ❤ keep the amazing work coming ❤️ xxxx
Love your style, Dierdre….sometimes it’s hard to style a sweater with its being bulky…these are wonderful suggestions. Love your suggestion of buttoning a cardigan in the back-used to do that in high school!❤
Oh Dear what’s not to love. I’m just waiting for the right moment to tell the accountant. I love the zippered sweater. Everything was stunning I need to watch it again. Thank you so much for all these brilliant ideas. The Godess❤️
Hi Diedre. Loved all the outfits you put together. I couldn't afford the Lillysilk pieces, but could try to recreate something from M and S maybe. I'm going on a cruise in 7 weeks to Norway, but unfortunately just had a hip replacement, the timings aren't good, but just wondered if you could do a video with how to style more relaxed type if trousers for casual wear as jeans and tight trousers would be out for me for a while. The red cardigan sweater was a brilliant idea and I'll definitely try to recreate that look. Thank you so much for the ideas. Xx
Ask anyone who knows me (or even if they don't!) - am usually in a turtleneck style especially in fall through to spring - haha. I love sweaters and have knit many for myself over the years ranging from vests to cardigans to turtlenecks. (the next project I'd like to make a cardigan that can be worn backwards if desired). And yes, the fiber content of the yarn will help predict how well it holds its shape and how long it lasts with the proper care. So your presentation today was most enjoyable for many reasons! thank you.
So true about the colour of the cream cashmere sweater. I long for M&S to produce one but they have every other colour but! A bright cream next to my face is very flattering.
These outfits are absolutely gorgeous and look fabulous on you! I love the leather skirt! Often the slit is so high it looks like they would be indecent when one sits down but not this one-so beautiful and sexy too!
Love to learn how to wear bulky, snuggly sweaters without looking as big as the side of the house! Thank you Deirdre! I look forward to your new posts. Blessings,
Loved the video. I have just finished watching all your past tutorials and have now caught up. Love the idea of wearing a cardigan as a jumper. I struggle to wear thick and high necked jumpers due to still feeling overwhelmingly hot !! at times. Looking forward to your next tutorial. Love from Newark on Trent
Hi Alison. Thank you so much for watching my videos. I really appreciate you and our wonderful community here on the channel. Love to you and all in Newark on Trent. XX
Aaah the Gaspard (indeed your first pronunciation is the correct one) it’s such a soft, beautiful and versatile item. I adore this one and have it in 4 shades (beige, washed jeans, soft grey and kind of spruce green) and don’t know if I’ll stop there😅. Bought to be a cardi I find myself wearing them backwards most of the time. Love them and recommend them highly. Although being French they size quite big I think. Something to be aware of when buying online. Would suggest to go to the smaller size when in doubt.
Thanks for the wonderful tips from North Texas, USA. I really appreciate your outlook! Your videos are very helpful to this 67 year old estate agent, who still likes to make a good first impression.
Fashion is intricate a labyrinthine of understandable differences, I loved my light cashmere sweaters while meeting a few of the 160,000 deers on the island of Anticosti, I was in a special area feeding them cranberries .I was my warm sweaters with shampoo and rinse with conditioner. Yes, ask Fiona the lonesome sheep. We love warm wool. Under 0 it is flatering❤
Deidre, is great, on the ship her lighthearted scoops, make being 50+ and over fun, relaxing and fashion dreaming the best part of the only y tube I watch. Thanks Deidre❤
Loved all the outfits. I have binge watched all the tutorials and have now caught up with you. I am not far behind you in height at 5ft 5in and often find trousers to long for me, will have a look in M&S. Due to still feeling hot at times i have steered away from high neck jumpers, like the idea of the cardigan as a jumper. Looking forward to your next video
Beautiful outfits Deidre. The grey one you have on is my favorite. Probably because I have grey wool trousers and a grey cable knit, crew neck cashmere sweater that I wear also. I get so many compliments when I wear this outfit. You looked so lovely in all of these outfits. I love your shoe choice with this outfit as well.
I love Sezane. Buying it since August of this year and find the price to quality ratio outstanding. PLEASE show more Sezane stuff. Your body shape is close to mine and normally everybody that shows Sezane is a stick. Tschau Petra
Deirdre the second camel color, darker pants, belt was divine on you!!! GLAMOUR... : o) You could pair those gorgeous silk trousers with a white button down with same hair and beautiful red lipstick. THIS is your look, your outfit for the holidays! Brilliant video, thank you.
I find that so many people advise staying away from crewneck styles if one is larger-busted but no one ever mentions the length of one's neck or torso. I have a larger bust, but I also have a long neck, as well as a short torso. If I wear a v-neck, I'm nothing but breasts from neckline to waist, wheres if I wear a crewneck, it gives my torso more length and makes my neck look more proportional.
I have a larger bust too. I find with v necks and crews it all depends on the shape, and width of the neckline. Some v necks are fine but others aren’t. Some crews are fine but others aren’t. It’s all about trial and error for me. Also, I find if I add a pop of white it helps.
I support Deidre, because 50 years ago in Wall Street, a really little poor unsupported grad made it because of Full match pants, grey, black, navy. The huge masculine world was indeed the master. But she made the difference, only by making her white shirts different, because of the little and sometimes very special buttons she attached to her blouses. High , prestigious notation were made in 1980 Little things make a great difference. I love my cashmere sweaters and my shampoos and rinses , do just always feel right
Might just quote all of you one day. On how, years later, How, years later 30 years ago Women, did not love, support Deidre, I will now drop off. After so many years, We now in a consolidation fashion How can so many of us still, express ne Ladies Whatever, Digest It Again women In Wall Street, lived without anything for many years, starving , before ... Wear, what you
I just want to say how much I've enjoyed your own evolution over time - you look GREAT! While I now get to winter in a sub-tropical location and cannot wear your 'sweaters', I wish I could - and the silk trousers!!! Cheers.
My favourite outfits on you were 2,3 & 4. The zip sweater really suits your figure, and you have given me an idea I would never have considered. The silk trousers and belt were lovely, too. The whole outfit suits your colouring. Loved the red shoes and cardigan with the jeans. Looked girlie. Outfit 4 looked great too. The skirt definitely made you look taller and the skirt and jumper suited your colouring. Love monochrome looks. They really do work giving a slimming, elongated look. Thanks for your video.
I don’t like crew-necks, they are not as flattering as V-necks or other more vertical necklines on petite, but busty, me. Mostly, though, it’s a practical thing, if I put a coat, jacket or sweater over a crew-neck top or sweater, the weight pulls the crewneck up too high in the front, making me feel a bit strangled. I was constantly pulling them down and away from my neck, then finally stopped buying these when I realized the problem. Even trouser fabric can do this with long sweaters or tops. My favorite-ever sweater style is the (US) Polo style, which has an open V-neck with a pointed “shirt” collar (I know “Polo” can refer to turtleneck styles in the UK). These really are flattering and classic, I searched for them for years and they’re finally widely available again. I love Banana Republic’s cashmere ones, they’re quite short and they come in petites and lots of beautiful colors. Quince makes nice ones, too, but they don’t offer lighter colors, yet. Thank you for saying sweaters for us Americans, but this American Anglophile has picked up your British usage of “jumpers”, I’m very suggestible! All pants are “trousers” to me for years, now.🙂
New subscriber, I have been watching a few videos and this cinched my subbing. Adore a good sweater be it a vee neck or turtle neck. Cashmere is my choice. Love your examples, just lovely.
Great selections in this video!! I always gravitate to V-neck sweaters, but for some reason, crew necks look more "modern" this year which is kind of ironic. Loved the "chocolate" pieces and the shoes too. Just purchased an oversized navy cashmere turtleneck that I think I will wear a lot this winter.
Lovely knits ❤. Unfortunately I can’t wear wool of any kind as it makes me itch so have to stick to less luxurious fabrics, which is a shame as cashmere and merino wool have a very lux look.

Very appreciated,
I found a gray crewneck, beautiful sweater, and a camel colored, V-neck, beautiful sweater at banana republic for around $40 or less.
The red cardigan would look nice with the grey trousers too i think.
I appreciate your effort although I am so tired of hearing adverts for Lilly Silk. They have continuously gifted every beauty channel I follow.
Great video! I live in Canada and sweaters are my daily go to,all winter long. That grey cable knit sweater is on my wish list now!
Thank you, Deidre for this wonderful and helpful video. I loved the red cardigan by Sezane and ordered two. I am now obsessed with the quality of them and will order again from them. Greetings from Germany

Over 50 with full on hot flashes- I could not possibly wear a turtle neck, let alone a wool turtle neck,.the outfit looks quite nice on you.
I love all of the outfits. But my favorite is the 2nd one, where you are wearing the half zip sweater and the silk pants.
So true about the colour of the cream cashmere sweater. I long for M&S to produce one but they have every other colour but! A bright cream next to my face is very flattering.
I personally prefer v neck sweaters I can use a collar shirt under and they look faboulus.
These outfits are absolutely gorgeous and look fabulous on you! I love the leather skirt! Often the slit is so high it looks like they would be indecent when one sits down but not this one-so beautiful and sexy too!
I live in the South And a wool sweater here would be way to hot. Love the V neck - flattering g on anyone.
I was lucky enough to find 6 cashmere at my thrift store last year. 😮
I've decided I don't like V-necks on me, not sure why. I can't put my finger on it yet, but trying...
Extra ❤ for showing us your darling cat!

Love to learn how to wear bulky, snuggly sweaters without looking as big as the side of the house! Thank you Deirdre! I look forward to your new posts. Blessings,
Sweaters are tricky. This was timely.
Prefer v necks more flattering unless you are a size eight or ten
Loved the video. I have just finished watching all your past tutorials and have now caught up. Love the idea of wearing a cardigan as a jumper. I struggle to wear thick and high necked jumpers due to still feeling overwhelmingly hot !! at times. Looking forward to your next tutorial. Love from Newark on Trent
Hi Alison. Thank you so much for watching my videos. I really appreciate you and our wonderful community here on the channel. Love to you and all in Newark on Trent. XX
Werry beautiful. Love your style
Lots of love to you adorable lady, the most beautiful channel to me, you always inspired me
Thanks to your efforts to make this happen ❤
Thank you so much 😀
You look fab in silk trousers and zip top
You look gorgeous in that grey outfit!
Aaah the Gaspard (indeed your first pronunciation is the correct one) it’s such a soft, beautiful and versatile item. I adore this one and have it in 4 shades (beige, washed jeans, soft grey and kind of spruce green) and don’t know if I’ll stop there😅. Bought to be a cardi I find myself wearing them backwards most of the time. Love them and recommend them highly. Although being French they size quite big I think. Something to be aware of when buying online. Would suggest to go to the smaller size when in doubt.
I adore mine! I may well get it in different colours too! XX
Thanks for the wonderful tips from North Texas, USA.
I really appreciate your outlook! Your videos are very helpful to this 67 year old estate agent, who still likes to make a good first impression.

Fashion is intricate a labyrinthine of understandable differences, I loved my light cashmere sweaters while meeting a few of the 160,000 deers on the island of Anticosti, I was in a special area feeding them cranberries .I was my warm sweaters with shampoo and rinse with conditioner.
Yes, ask Fiona the lonesome sheep.
We love warm wool. Under 0 it is flatering❤
Deidre, is great, on the ship her lighthearted scoops, make being 50+ and over fun, relaxing and fashion dreaming the best part of the only y tube I watch. Thanks Deidre❤
Loved all the outfits. I have binge watched all the tutorials and have now caught up with you. I am not far behind you in height at 5ft 5in and often find trousers to long for me, will have a look in M&S. Due to still feeling hot at times i have steered away from high neck jumpers, like the idea of the cardigan as a jumper. Looking forward to your next video
I would so recommend finding a great tailor! It makes all the difference to have hems etc altered to get the right length. XX
Thank you for this awesome video packed full of great information ❤
You are so welcome! XX
Hi Deidre I would love to wear polo neck jumpers but they aren’t very flattering if you have a bigger bust
Try a pendant necklace or scarf tied with the ends pointing downwards. That can really help. XX
Beautiful outfits Deidre. The grey one you have on is my favorite. Probably because I have grey wool trousers and a grey cable knit, crew neck cashmere sweater that I wear also. I get so many compliments when I wear this outfit. You looked so lovely in all of these outfits. I love your shoe choice with this outfit as well.
So glad you liked the outfits, Mary. They are beautiful pieces. XX
I love Sezane. Buying it since August of this year and find the price to quality ratio outstanding. PLEASE show more Sezane stuff. Your body shape is close to mine and normally everybody that shows Sezane is a stick. Tschau Petra
Thank you so much for your comments, Petra. Yes, I'm afraid I'm not a stick!! I love Sezane and I will include more for the future! XX
I can’t wear a crew neck….I find them really unflattering on me :-(
Deirdre the second camel color, darker pants, belt was divine on you!!! GLAMOUR... : o) You could pair those gorgeous silk trousers with a white button down with same hair and beautiful red lipstick. THIS is your look, your outfit for the holidays! Brilliant video, thank you.
Oh thank you so much, Jayne. Thanks so much for your lovely ideas too. XX
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ sweaters make up 80% of my wardrobe, many thanks for confirming and giving me better ideas
and Yes, Lily Silk is a second skin.
So glad! I love Lilysilk too. XX

Great tips, unfortunately cannot wear wool but can use the styling tips!
I wear a cotton t-shirt underneath my woollen sweaters which works beautifully. XX
How is the sizing of the Lilly Silk gray pants?
Hi Robyn. They are true to size. XX
Very nice video! I liked all the items. Well thought through.thanks!
I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. XX
I love Chanel🥰
You might want to try the red cardigan with the chocolate outfit.
Great idea! XX
I find that so many people advise staying away from crewneck styles if one is larger-busted but no one ever mentions the length of one's neck or torso. I have a larger bust, but I also have a long neck, as well as a short torso. If I wear a v-neck, I'm nothing but breasts from neckline to waist, wheres if I wear a crewneck, it gives my torso more length and makes my neck look more proportional.
Hi Rose. Yes, it all depends on each person's individual body shape.

I have a larger bust too. I find with v necks and crews it all depends on the shape, and width of the neckline. Some v necks are fine but others aren’t. Some crews are fine but others aren’t. It’s all about trial and error for me. Also, I find if I add a pop of white it helps.
I support Deidre, because 50 years ago in Wall Street, a really little poor unsupported grad made it because of
Full match pants, grey, black, navy.
The huge masculine world was indeed the master.
But she made the difference, only by making her white shirts different, because of the little and sometimes very special buttons she attached to her blouses.
High , prestigious notation were made in 1980
Little things make a great difference.
I love my cashmere sweaters and my shampoos and rinses , do just always feel right

I just want to say how much I've enjoyed your own evolution over time - you look GREAT! While I now get to winter in a sub-tropical location and cannot wear your 'sweaters', I wish I could - and the silk trousers!!! Cheers.
My favourite outfits on you were 2,3 & 4. The zip sweater really suits your figure, and you have given me an idea I would never have considered. The silk trousers and belt were lovely, too. The whole outfit suits your colouring. Loved the red shoes and cardigan with the jeans. Looked girlie. Outfit 4 looked great too. The skirt definitely made you look taller and the skirt and jumper suited your colouring. Love monochrome looks. They really do work giving a slimming, elongated look. Thanks for your video.
Some fab ideas, thanks Deirdre xx
You're so welcome. XX
I cannot wear crew necks as my boobs are too big and they just never look right! Mono boob comes to mind.
Beautiful looks…I live in sweaters for our snowy winter and loved all your sweater, especially the turtlenecks❤
All beautiful outfits!
Thank you! 🤗
I love the red sweater and those shoes! That’s a head turning outfit! I get so hot that only thinner sweaters work for me. But thanks for the tips!!

I don’t like crew-necks, they are not as flattering as V-necks or other more vertical necklines on petite, but busty, me. Mostly, though, it’s a practical thing, if I put a coat, jacket or sweater over a crew-neck top or sweater, the weight pulls the crewneck up too high in the front, making me feel a bit strangled. I was constantly pulling them down and away from my neck, then finally stopped buying these when I realized the problem. Even trouser fabric can do this with long sweaters or tops. My favorite-ever sweater style is the (US) Polo style, which has an open V-neck with a pointed “shirt” collar (I know “Polo” can refer to turtleneck styles in the UK). These really are flattering and classic, I searched for them for years and they’re finally widely available again. I love Banana Republic’s cashmere ones, they’re quite short and they come in petites and lots of beautiful colors. Quince makes nice ones, too, but they don’t offer lighter colors, yet. Thank you for saying sweaters for us Americans, but this American Anglophile has picked up your British usage of “jumpers”, I’m very suggestible! All pants are “trousers” to me for years, now.🙂
Thanks so much for sharing all this valuable information and your own personal experiences, Kimblery. Much appreciated. Take care. XX
I love the last, more edgy style! It suits you very well.
Lovely ideas for sweaters...thank you...and colour ideas too!!!xxx
You’re welcome 😊 XX
New subscriber, I have been watching a few videos and this cinched my subbing. Adore a good sweater be it a vee neck or turtle neck. Cashmere is my choice. Love your examples, just lovely.
Hi there. A big welcome to my channel and thank you so much for subscribing. I'm so pleased you like my videos. Have a great day. XX
ALWAYS enjoy your videos!
Loving that gorgeous grey sweater. Delicious with your lipstick. Thank you for another great video.
You are so welcome! XX
Great selections in this video!! I always gravitate to V-neck sweaters, but for some reason, crew necks look more "modern" this year which is kind of ironic. Loved the "chocolate" pieces and the shoes too. Just purchased an oversized navy cashmere turtleneck that I think I will wear a lot this winter.
Thanks Julie. I really love all the chocolate around this year! XX
Another great video with such valuable tips. Thank you for sharing Channel with us. She is a beauty.
She really is. Xx
Fab outfits. Loved the muted fall colours. The rich red cardigan looked really great on you! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Thanks so much! XX
Lovely knits ❤. Unfortunately I can’t wear wool of any kind as it makes me itch so have to stick to less luxurious fabrics, which is a shame as cashmere and merino wool have a very lux look.
Why not try wearing a cotton t-shirt under your wool. That's what I do and it solves the itch problem! XX
Another fab video, such wonderful tips and tricks to make me look more “ elongated “ at 5’4” I need all the help I can get, 😊
You are so welcome! XX
Great video! I love the silk pants. I'm ordering them now for sure! And love Chanel - what a cutie 😻
Thanks so much 😊 Yes, Chanel is my gorgeous baby. XX
Half the world is summer!!
Please adjust ideas to meet everyone 😢
Hi Anna. Apologies. I'm afraid I am following the weather we have here (in the UK), which is pretty awful!! I totally appreciate your point. XX
