For the non Brits out there, they're called High Street brands because in most towns of a certain size, there is a street called High Street. This is where there are a lot of retail stores, mostly affordable for the local population with the odd shop/ store of a higher price point (certainly in the towns around where I grew up). The name High Street brands refers to brands that are easily accessible and affordable. Shopping centres or malls didn't really kick in until the 1980s, and most of the first centres were small with only a handful of shops. The big purpose built ones came later.
Americans called it Main Street ❤. Thanks for your explanation. Sadly, most of our Main Streets are now other kinds of business. All the shops are in huge malls, or outdoor malls that are built to emulate a small village. But I fondly remember Main Street. Hope to visit your lovely country one day! 😊
Hello Lydia, as usual your video short, useful and encouraging. All shown spring pieces are lovely. Especially good looking is a new form of trousers.😊
Love your videos!! I feel like I finally found the person with the same style as me! A belt collection would be appreciated, also a closet tour (how you organize all your clothes & accessories) :)
Thank you for another excellent video Lydia. I love all the items featured and all your suggestions are easily applied/adapted to my existing pieces. Fantastic!!
Great video Lydia - I bought the Cos black bag last week with birthday money, as I loved your Loewe Flamenco one, but could'nt afford that price. I absolutely love the Cos one!!!
Just bought the bag in black, a tank top in black and a long sleeve striped t-shirt. Very courios 😊. Thanks for the good tips and styling possibilities, again a great video.🎉
@ivonat.6760 I don't think you can adjust it in making it longer. The only thing I can think of to make it shorter is to make a knot in it. I can tell you more once I get it. But I'm planning to use it as a clutch anyway. Have already enough cross body shoulder strap bags. This one, I really like the shape 😍🫶.
Thank you for clarifying that for me! 💐I would also want to ask, how does the leather feel? Is it thicker one to hold its shape little bit or is the leather more thin?
Yesterday I purchased that black bucket bag from Cos on your recommendation. Thank you for bringing this option up. Ive loved the style for long yet I wasn't prepared to spend more a £100. Cheers.
Great ideas in this video, as usual! Thank you! The pale blue shirt sadly did look very wrinkly even just on the hanger throughout the shop last week. Just fyi.
If I’m looking for something like that, if it’s sold out, I just put in the description and I search it might take a little bit but you could find something like that. Cos last so long and then that’s why so many people buy it. It sells out quick.
Every season (Spring and fall) I take every single piece i own out of my closet and hang it in my sunroom on a rack I own. I contemplate it carefully as to how many ways I can wear it. If I don’t love it, I give it away. I find that I save much money doing this.
Love your videos! I’d love to see a video on how to add interest to your workout wear. I tend to end up in that most days, and feel there is only so much you can do with an outfit like that. I need a pro!
I have always loved your sense of style and way of putting pieces together. I am currently pregnant and struggling to find my way with balancing outfits now. If you get a wild hair- could you do a maternity video of how to style clothes while pregnant? You’re the best!❤
thanks for the video: ) I liked the gray trousers, cardigan (the thing that I am missing in my wardrobe) and a pale blue shirt. I have a similar one but I am thinking about replacing mine becuase it is not as oversized as I would like to be regards :)
Thank you! I adore COS in theory, but I'm a US size 16/18 - and COS only make up to a 14. Do you have any suggestions for a COS-like brand that do larger sizes? I adore everything they do and would have lots of COS if they made my size...would love to find an alternative.
Hello from California! I would love to buy the drawstring bag, but cannot find it on the COS website! The link you provide takes me directly to the COS homepage. Any ideas? Thanks, Lydia!
Great video, Lydia. I have all of these staples that you mention except the grey balloon trousers. What length in cardigans would you recommend for a petite woman that is in her 60's? On my way to visit NYC next week and I have a COS shopping stop on my list. I purchased that same COS t-shirt about two years ago and the quality is so good.
Hello Lydia! Could you do a video that has alternatives to pant staple pieces for women who don’t wear pants, but wears skirts or dresses only? Thank you for your time!
Excellent video, beautiful clothes-Cos has such great pieces and you style everything so effortlessly! They are also not at all size inclusive-many pieces go to L! This excludes massive parts of the population. Do you ever colab with any more inclusive brands? I am a new subscriber to your channel-sorry if you have already addressed this previously.
Thanks, darling! I am eyeing these arch jeans but I am unsure which size to go for. 😅Can you give me your advice - I am 164 sm. tall, slim with measures 86/65/90 and usually go for XS (Massimo Dutti, Mango, Zara) , both 34 and 36 for clothing. Sometimes depending on the style of jeans I feel like 36 is running big on me. (For example the baggy baloon jeans by Zara available now I got in 34 and shortened at the tailors 😂, but still I think I could have gotten a 32 and still be ok.) I do not like tight clothing in general, slightly looser feel for jeans is my goal. So, if you could help a girl out and share your recommendation for the COS Arch jeans compared to your measures, that would be great! As for now I think I should order size 26. 😊Hugs from Sofia, Bulgaria! ❤
Sad to say the long sleeved striped shirt fit tight in the arms and a bit too short in the torso .. had to send back, but love the white tshirt recommendation ! Thank you 😊
Love that you don’t buy all of these items but would be amazing if you went to the store and tried these items on , so we can hear your thoughts on fit etc. Just a thought x
So many links don't go to the piece you discussed. I suppose that means they are sold out. Kind of sad since you literally posted this a few hours ago. I was so excited to get the black purse but it doesn't exist on the website. Hmmm.
I'm not sure what you mean as I've just tested them all again and they all work for me. I think you maybe are coming from a different country and perhaps these pieces are not available where you live! Might be worth to check back again as hopefully they will come back in stock soon

Main streets are only in very small towns in America because they just have one Main Street
Thanks. I had the idea it meant expensive stores until I saw which stores they referred to. It's what we call the chain stores.
Thank you for that, a very good explanation x
For those of us who live in Canada, can we get these same items at H & M?
Wow very 90's style make up look today!
Ha ha yes, I'm channelling my inner 90s vibe!
Hello Lydia, as usual your video short, useful and encouraging. All shown spring pieces are lovely. Especially good looking is a new form of trousers.😊
Amazing, so happy to hear!
Yes, these trousers are an interesting change for sure x
Love your videos!! I feel like I finally found the person with the same style as me! A belt collection would be appreciated, also a closet tour (how you organize all your clothes & accessories) :)
So kind of you thanks, makes it all worthwhile!
I am hopefully having new closet/ wardrobes installed soon so might do a tour in the future x

love this! thanks Lydia - another winner ❤
Merci beaucoup xxx
Great video Lydia - I bought the Cos black bag last week with birthday money, as I loved your Loewe Flamenco one, but could'nt afford that price. I absolutely love the Cos one!!!
I wonder is it possible to shorten/adjust the strap in this bag when wearing crossbody or is it one length?
Yes, it's a great alternative x
Loved this! xx ❤

Love the white jeans😊
Great with a suggestion for a dupe. Retired divorced at big cost to me, so dupes are good.

Hello, what about a video on your make up? It is always immaculate!
I think I need an update on my vests! Might pick them in a couple classic shades.
incredible ❤
Lovely Lydia ❤
Great staples
thanks for the video: ) I liked the gray trousers, cardigan (the thing that I am missing in my wardrobe) and a pale blue shirt. I have a similar one but I am thinking about replacing mine becuase it is not as oversized as I would like to be regards :)
Hi Lydia, can you make a video about must have shoes for ss?❤

Love your videos ❤❤❤
Thanks, will keep them coming x
Thank you so much, glad they are appreciated
Thank you for your content- your Awesome!
I am in Northern California, looks like the black and white bag are not available.
Yes, I have seen that. Sorry, I didn't notice at first. Keep looking as they may update this issue.

I will certainly look into this, thanks for the feedback x
Hi new subscriber here, love all your videos, please keep them coming 💖
Great I just bought a strip t shirt , love it
Glad to hear it, they are very good quality aren't they x
Thanks...your lovely
Where is your black jacket from ? Love it
Hello from California! I would love to buy the drawstring bag, but cannot find it on the COS website! The link you provide takes me directly to the COS homepage. Any ideas? Thanks, Lydia!
Cannot decide between the white or black bag….both are lovely and the blue shirt is up my street
Both white and black very versatile. Maybe have a think about what you will be wearing it with and when x
COS is my favourite for staples. Their quality is unmatched in my experience
They are a fantastic brand no doubt x
Hi Lydia, any recommendations for the airport that looks put together,
Love the COS stripped top. Does it run true to size or should I order up??
❤
Great video, Lydia. I have all of these staples that you mention except the grey balloon trousers. What length in cardigans would you recommend for a petite woman that is in her 60's? On my way to visit NYC next week and I have a COS shopping stop on my list. I purchased that same COS t-shirt about two years ago and the quality is so good.
The latest cropped cardigans would look good on petite ladies x
Hello Lydia! Could you do a video that has alternatives to pant staple pieces for women who don’t wear pants, but wears skirts or dresses only? Thank you for your time!
Noted Carliss x

I wondering if you can recommend where I can buy a Elegant, Sophisticated wedding Guest dress for fall ( Agosto ) ?
Big Thanks!
On with that at the moment, keep watching!🙂
Sad to say the long sleeved striped shirt fit tight in the arms and a bit too short in the torso .. had to send back, but love the white tshirt recommendation ! Thank you 😊
Love that you don’t buy all of these items but would be amazing if you went to the store and tried these items on , so we can hear your thoughts on fit etc. Just a thought x
Yes that is a very good point, I do try to mix in some trying on in the store when I can x
Where are your earrings from that you’re wearing in this video 😍
Hi Lydia, where should the barrel shape trousers finish? How will you make them work for hourglass figure?
They finish around ankle length. Try styling with cinched waist top and shoulder pads to balance top and bottom half. Hope this helps x
Does anyone know if the pouch bag comes with magnetic clasps?
Hello Lydia the link for the bag doesn’t really work for me in the U.S it is sold out do you know ?
Great advice!
You tell us what you would wear each piece with; fabulous!
We need it...
helene :)
Are all of the links UK only?
🥰😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
Pale blue looks heinous on me lol.
a tank top is a vest now?

Yes. A US subscriber that is done being inspired only to be disappointed. Arket is the ultimate example. I guess the global economy is spotty. lol.
@@LydiaJaneTomlinsonSame for me here in the US. Must not be available for us here.
It’s not sold in the US!
Hopefully they will restock soon and ship bag to US x
Bags not available on Cos website in US. 😢
The Cavatelli bucket pouch is available which is similar. Keep looking as they may make the other available soon.
@@LydiaJaneTomlinson Bag is now available in US on website. In the newly released S/S 2024 Collection.
I can’t find the black bag on their site only a lil pouch one 😞
Will check it now x
