Lydia, I am nearly 69 years young, yet still get so much inspiration from you! I love that your modern still feels classic and very wearable at any age. I always look forward to your videos. They have certainly influenced my retired dressing style & make me feel smart as well as up to date.❤
I’m a 66 year old retiree and you said exactly what i was thinking. I was saddened to learn Arket doesn’t ship to the US so now I’m on the hunt for several of the items shown today. THANK YOU Lydia for your inspiration.
You have the most original content among the British youtubers I follow. You come up with new ideas, while all others just keep showing their latest purchases, which we don't really care.
I never comment. BUT! I have to say this was one of the most informative videos on RUclips. You have managed to say it all without false direction on starts. You certainly know your fashion. You know how to dress, select and style with purpose and intention while still being interesting.
I completely agree! Such valuable information here, and I love the depth you are going to in trying to explain your aesthetic versus trends or looks. You do an amazing job of breaking style down so others can understand the elements and create their own versions! Thanks so much!
Love your style Lydia. Of course me being 61 I wouldn't wear a very long slit up the front of my skirt 😮😅 BUT in the mid 80's I used to have a deep chocolate coloured midi pencil skirt with a small slit at the back, which I loved, and would still wear today. Personally I would put a skinny belt with the skirt. What I do notice today is that ALL 'fashion, styles, trends' have all been done before over and over, this year I've noticed a lot of 80's, last year the 70's....but I LOVE revisiting these eras, I've lived them and they hold some lovely memories. Ballet flats are a staple for me in Spring and Summer. I have black, tan, nude, silver and gold, the most versatile lightweight shoe ever. Your style is very French Chic, we have French ancestry in my family so it appeals to me.....then I go completely flamboyant in the warmer months as we also have Italian in the family and I go all colour, print and boho 🎉 😂 you're a very stylish young woman and I love to see elegance on young people instead of all legs, cleavage and butt cheeks, there's nothing more attractive than elegance at any age ❤
I’m 66 and I have had a long skirt with a slit up the front since 1996 and I still wear it today. Yes you are right; trends come and go and then come back and go again
Lydia, I don'T think anyone can illustrate and explain a classy, elegant and effortless style better than you on You Tube. I love watching your videos learning the cut and design of clothing and slowly revamping my wardrobe, so that I can look put tougher and feel elegant for my age. When I go shopping, I definitely think of your videos . So I'm not wasting money in fast fashion, but investing in quality pieces that I can wear for a long time. Thanks for all of your styling tips!
Fantastic! No one does this kind of breakdown - classic/modern - like you. Thank you. I'm easily confused when shopping, and this melding of styles is so helpful. Keep educating!!!
Well explained! All timeless pieces that can live in my closet for years. Even the "trendier" ones are arguably still classic. I can choose to invest in both versions for variation in style or stick to the version that suits me best.
There is nothing more unflattering than those mary Jane shoes with the strap. It’s a fashion truism that straps like that shorten your legs…and the shape of the shoe looks so cheap. The classic ballet flat is so much more flattering….why buy a trend that is unflattering and ugly? I don’t get it….
I have that problem. As someone who’s only 5ft, I can’t wear flat shoes with straps, they make my legs look shorter and me shorter and just not flattering. Ballet flats are better or kitten heels/sling backs that are so versatile for both dresses, skirts, and pants.
Oh Lydia! That was a Masterclass on Fashion & Styling! ❤ I think everyone regardless of age, skin tone, body shape, height can resonate with something! To keep it brief, I will pick one.. shoulder pads. My mom in 90s had shoulder pads on so many of her tops. She would actually have her tailor put in on some of her pieces. I was a teenager of course then and I hated it. I said I would never do that. It’s come a full circle and I’m not all into it but I’m ready to do your Amazon hack.. removable shoulder pads for my blazers! I actually tried it and I’m loving it! 😊 Much love..❤
I am loving the loose trouser legs.❤ I've bought several pairs and wear them with low heel sling backs with a pointed toe. I got the sling backs in both black and beige. Also loving the Ts in neutral colors. My jewelry and handbags really stand out against this simple background. Thanks to Lydia for helping me with this fashion concept! ❤
Thanks so much for taking the time to break down the differences in such detail! Your reassurance is very comforting that peices we own that may not be on trend can still be modernised to make the most of what we have too. Its so refreshing and creative. ❤ i hope you keep doing what you are doing!
Could you add a link to the black modern ballet flats? I loved the topic, finally understood my own preferences & style personality ❤ Would love to see more modern staple ideas ❤️
Very interesting video, Lydia. In my case, I don't stick to styles, but rather what suits me. I know that the fashion industry brings a huge variety in cuts and styles, but regardless of whether it's classic or more modern, I like to look in the mirror and feel beautiful. Does it favor me? Will I feel good wearing it? Is it comfortable, has quality, will it make me more beautiful? I'm very likely to buy it if it's within my means.
Love this video! As always you look completely chic and this is such a great topic! Would love to see more handbag examples, I'm looking for a Tan leather Toteme dupe!
🤍 You’ve done a great job explaining the differences. I loved it. Thank you Lydia for simplifying this. I can’t wait to start recreating pieces to wear!
Your style is classy and the way you break down your looks is so informative. Thank you! Your Shorts are also outstanding. I would LOVE to see how you would dress your mom in your traditional and modern classic styles - for every season.
As someone who is in the midst of completely redoing an outdated wardrobe, your videos are incredibly helpful! I couldn't figure out where I was going wrong but in addition to my outdated style, part of the problem is that the U.S. doesn't seem to have as many wonderful shopping options as other parts of the world. REALLY hoping Arket can start shipping to the U.S. at some point soon!
@K: I actually envy you Americans as the shopping situation is far worse in CANADA as options are best described as nil not to mention, pricing is outrageous.
@@canukmrsben Oh wow- I didn't think it could be worse that what we have here. In the U.S. cheap, poorly made clothes and the luxury brands are easy to find. It's the mid-range quality clothing that I think we're lacking. I found COS via Lydia's channel and I do like some of Uniqlo's clothing although I wouldn't put it in the mid-range category. The U.S. has a trade agreement with Australia so we don't have a limit on what we can import without paying taxes from Australia but there is a limit of $800 USD from the U.K. and France. Sézane is the only brand I've found that has built in import taxes into their prices + they have free shipping over a certain amount and free returns. Other European brands just don't have a way to return items to them without paying international shipping to return the item(s). Maybe write to customer service for the brands you're interested in to see if they have any future plans for Canada so that they know there is interest in their brand there.
Just exactly what I needed to understand what to do about all those new unwearable trends. Thank you for this wonderful content, Lydia! P.S. Would appreciate if you create a little video for petite women ☺️ I’m 5,2 and really sometimes struggle to create something chic and yet comfortable.
Your videos this year have been the best!! No nonsense here!! Lydia you have taken time to really think and style classic and timeless looks with basic quality pieces! I love love this year’s new videos ! The way you help us think and not just go buy everything new in… you look amazing in everything!! Thanks for encouraging us to really think and appreciate the simple and timeless pieces!
I just watched one video of you again since 2 years. And I'm positively surprised to see hiw much better you have become. No looking down on yourself anymore, which I found very weird. You seem much more natural and self confident than before. Nice videi and yoz was very pleasant to hear. Thank you!😊
Love these comparison videos of classic vs. modern styles! Please keep making these videos! Can you do one about shoes? Been really struggling in finding the perfect in-between with the traditional and modern. There are too many styles and too many types of shoes. Been looking for something casual, but not too casual nor dressy. Also, handbags as well! Love the Dior bag btw. Been handbag eye-shopping, but still couldn't find anything that is within my budget. Thanks Lydia! 😘
It's interesting to me that I really enjoy watching youtubers with classic style like yourself yet my style is bold color, lots of accessories and variety. In my office days I wore lots of black gray and navy. Now I'm retired living in Florida so I'm drawn to color and prints but I still love the concept of the minimalist classic capsule wardrobe. I just don't see myself doing it now. I'd have to get rid of everything in my closet lol. Definitely struggling to dress my body in my 60s and the casual lifestyle here. I miss my age 30 style in the city I love your videos and approach to fashion. Another great video ❤
Lydia this was really interesting. I love how you break down the styles and cuts in your explanation of what is 'current' and what is 'classic'. Like you, I have a mixture of both in my wardrobe. Yes, more on this topic would be welcome! X😊
Love it, I really needed this video. Definitely it has brought me more clarity. Please would love to see more video like this. You are amazing, keep going ❤❤❤
Love the oversized trend on other people, but not on me. I’m 5’2” and I look like a 5-year old wearing my dad’s jackets. Slim-fitting jackets and trousers are more flattering on my frame.
The longer white pants with the high fitted waist is more vintage to me as I started wearing them in 1973. Very flattering. Too bad I don't have my 1973 body. My 66 y.o. ankles look terrible in flood pants. My modern version is to go more cropped with wide legs in a flowy fabric.
Bottom line is Lydia is beautifully slim small waist. I was up to late 40s, beautifully slim, small waist, athletic, fine boned and medium height, like Lydiagreat hair and classic high cheekboned face. At 40 I was 32A bust and 8 Aus which was tiny and everything I put on looked amazing.i was 110 pounds in my 20s to 30. 53kgs in my 40s. I had an English couturier black and gold bomber jacket from 1970 which my small for his 5 year old wore as a perfect fit party jacket. Having been medically tripped and caused asthma with steroids for 17 years I look fine to the fat multitudes around me but am so much heavier, heartbreaking for a clothes lover.
Great video Lydia. My style words are classic modern and elegant. Explains why I have gradually updated some silhouettes in trousers, shirts and shoes.
I live in the midwest of the US, and the weather is hot, humid and is thick and unbearable. I notice you always layer, what are my options to look put together but weather friendly.
One of your best videos. Great idea on how to wear wide leg pants. Love them all. Thank you for sharing new trends and always keeping a very elegant look.
looved this kind of video, Lydia. I can really feel your passion in this subject and I would watch this kind of concept it in any category. I would love to hear more about the fact that traditional vs. modern is a style choice and a fun way to play with your (our) classics pieces depending on your (our) mood and occasion. for at family dinner I might enjoy a more traditional/elegant styling vs. a night out with the girls where i've go for something more boxy/smart/sexy.
Such a great video! You have taught me so much over the last few years. ❤ As I watched you go through the basics I could see exactly how far I've come. Lord knows I needed guidance. I didn't have a clue. Just a closet full of cheap magpie pieces. Nothing worked together. It was so sad. Now I feel like a graduate. Thanks to you!
Thanks for teach with your style. I’m not English speaking but you have a wonderful pronunciation and lovely manners to express the ideas. Love your style. I’m near 60 and you’re very inspirational. ❤
I loved the video! You explain the concept so well. I love how you make dressing a narrative gesture, with it’s own feel and subtleties. I would love a similar video strictly about shoes. Thanks!
I love your videos! They have been so helpful. Can you do a video on wide tapered jeans in navy and dark grey color specifically. I find these jeans and navy colored jeans hard to style. Thank you x
You are such a beautiful and elegant lady. Not like most of these content creators, on RUclips in there underwear during outfit changes. You are a pleasure to watch ❤
love your videos mainly because you explain so well why some things look better together than others. it helped me a lot without having to buy everything new. 😊
I loved this video. It spelt out what I probably already could see intuitively and explained why. My style of dressing is now making complete sense to me. I'm 57 and as I've got older I've gravitated even more to a more masculine style style of dressing. I love tailoring, especially blazers, shirts, polo shirts, sharp angles, stiff fabrics. I now never wear dresses, skirts, anything soft, flowy, draped, floral, embroidered, embellished, pretty or dainty. Somehow all these things make me feel even older, and outfits that may look good on somebody younger just somehow seem to age me even more. I feel prim, prissy and dated. Whereas if I wear for instance a tailored trouser suit - wide legs, oversized with a shirt I feel sharp, structured, put together but modern. Cool even. When you said 'sharp' it all just fell into place. I knew it all intuititively, but your video helped to explain why. The older I get the more I have to dress 'modern' and the less I can get away with 'traditional'. Whereas somebody much younger can look great in a more traditional style.
A few months ago you did a short about tailored blazers being the updated silhouette after several years of boxy blazers. Wondering if you still feel that's the case. Being petite, I struggle with blazers feeling too big and long on my frame.
Yes I do think tailored blazers really have their place! I think maybe focus on something with a nipped waist, possibly with some shoulder pads. It’s all in the styling as well! ❤
This video is absolutely brilliant. I loved how you explain how/why the pieces achieve a certain look. This is all about mixing pieces most people already own, not about don’t wear that, buy this instead! This has really helped me identify a couple of pieces i could add this spring without over buying. Please keep making these really helpful videos, thank you.
This makes sense, some pieces I like the traditional style like the grey skirt. Others, i like the moderns one, like the loafers, but is helpful to see each and get an idea of how you can make work with what you have already. 💕
Marvelous presentation, Lydia. I would love to see more of this contrasting concept using more clothing pieces and perhaps how to style traditional vs modern jewelry. It would also be wonderful if you can demonstrate how to mix and match these styles. What are your feelings about double-breasted blazers? Thanks.
Hi Lydia, I found your channel by watching one of your shorts. I absolutely love your style. In the shorts I watched, you wore a pistachio green silky shirt/blouse/jacket with its own belt. Can you PLEASE tell me where that gorgeous piece is from? Thank you
❤❤❤❤a wonderful video where we can appreciate the subtle and important differences between traditional classic and a more modern take on classic styles 🎉
I love your channel. I think we could appraciate more your wonderful styling if the wall behind you was beige/taupe like in museums when featuring art. White or black on a white wall makes it how to say, ordinary. Many photographers sware by the rule no white plain background, ever. Thanks for the best tips on YT!
People are obsessed with this "timeless", "minimalist "old money" aesthetics trends. And they forget that fashion is a self-expression. Your style should represent who you are.
@@fpopstudio this is a weird comment. People can dress however they want, regardless of whatever “group” they belong to. Your comment seems to imply that people who don’t come from money should stay in their place and “dress poor.” That’s ludicrous.
@@BoringTroublemaker Amy, of course you and they can, the question is why? Why this obsession to look rich in those neutral no logo, no personality clothes? You have your unique personality, probably a much better one than any old rich girl or boy, so why not count on that and not an expired generation? I was reading a couple of days ago the experience of Garance Dore when she needed to attend an event with these type of people, she wore neutral clothes, bags, so she confidently thought she would fit in only to realise that these ladies were carrying only colourful Kelly’s and jogging clothes because they don’t need to spend money on neutral (which are more expensive btw) to look rich, but she did spend those money only to realise she is not fitting in actually. So, I want you to look wonderful and authentic in your clothes, not poor. It is not only poor or old rich, so many nuances in between
@@fpopstudio not everyone wants to walk around wearing bright colors and tacky logos all over their clothes. You’re making an assumption that people who dress in neutrals do so because they want to look “rich” when there are a lot of reasons why they might dress that way. That’s pretty presumptuous of you. And no, neutrals aren’t more expensive. Virtually all basics come in neutrals at all budget friendly stores. For plus size women it’s a lot easier to expand your wardrobe by adding beige, white, gray, and navy to the sea of black we have been trained to drape ourselves in, than it is to find a brightly colored print that doesn’t end up making us look dumpy. Frankly, it’s just _easier_ to put together an outfit of neutrals. But ultimately the issue is that you aren’t the arbiter of someone else’s authenticity. You don’t get to make that judgment simply because it’s inconceivable to you that someone could choose to fill their wardrobe with clothes that don’t fit in with your personal understanding of what makes _you_ feel comfortable and authentic.
@BoringTroublemaker Amy, I bet you are beautiful in both neutral and colours and not dumpy. I like to dismantle limiting beliefs and support women feel at their best and unique. That's all!
I really liked your videos and tips how to look stylish:) I was wondering how did you get into fashion in the first place? I am looking forward for the more videos like this one I think recently I have got up the nerve and I have started wearing mom jeans and straigh leg jeans not only skinny jeans and I feel great weaaring them
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! So much needed and useful information. Trying to build the basics of a traditional classic style. Did away of a bunch of things I had that I was never going to wear.
Always great advice. I often end up buying clothes I never wear and trying to change that. I’ve always loved the classic modern style but got off track recently. I’m 70 years old from Southern California.
Love your videos Lydia ,I’m 73 but gain so much from you ,so inspirational. Could you tell me what size your flattered black ballet flats are? I a. 391/2 -40
Hello Lydia, thank you for your content! I have a question, and would be so grateful if you could come up with some examples. I tend to adopt a classic style, more casual or more sharp according to the circumstances. What I am struggling with though, is that when I dress for slightly more official circumstances (e.g. celebrations for national holidays, end-of-the-year festivities of cultural groups, etc.), I feel that my outfit is not at all youthful and I would really like it to be more fresh. I am 38 and not have a very impressive image. So please can you share your ideas of how to make a classic outfit more fresh? Especially for more formal events - circumstances. Thank you very much!
I have used and reused this video. Thank you @LydiaJaneTomlinson for this very useful video. Would appreciate more videos like this. Perhaps even a series. I’m located in the southern hemisphere and our seasons and weather don’t match but the content is suitable regardless!

So agree with you!
I’m 66 and I have had a long skirt with a slit up the front since 1996 and I still wear it today. Yes you are right; trends come and go and then come back and go again
Had some gorgeous ballet flats I bought in London early 80s. Wish I still had.

How about a video for new barrel shaped jeans, what length to hem them…and shoes to go with (for summer)? I could use your advice on this! Ty ❤
If the classic are giving 50's vibes, I see the 40's in the modern pieces, one of my favorite decades for clothes.
Oh I like the word “traditional” so much more than “dated” ❤ thank you, you make great videos

Love the oversized trend on other people, but not on me. I’m 5’2” and I look like a 5-year old wearing my dad’s jackets. Slim-fitting jackets and trousers are more flattering on my frame.
Lydia, I learn so much from you, with every video! Yes, please do more of these!
Top Top Top!!! You are the Best !!! Congratulations. Always with amazing sugestions. This video in particular was absolutely outstanding!!!🎉🎉🎉
Wow I always thought that I was a modern lover but turns out in every single case, I prefer the traditional! Thanks for the video!
The longer white pants with the high fitted waist is more vintage to me as I started wearing them in 1973. Very flattering. Too bad I don't have my 1973 body. My 66 y.o. ankles look terrible in flood pants. My modern version is to go more cropped with wide legs in a flowy fabric.
Excellent video! Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into your videos! They are all very classy!
Would love to see a video of outfits mixing the styles together 🙏🏼
Great idea!! Noted!! 🥰
That's a great idea.
Same here
Bottom line is Lydia is beautifully slim small waist. I was up to late 40s, beautifully slim, small waist, athletic, fine boned and medium height, like Lydiagreat hair and classic high cheekboned face. At 40 I was 32A bust and 8 Aus which was tiny and everything I put on looked amazing.i was 110 pounds in my 20s to 30. 53kgs in my 40s. I had an English couturier black and gold bomber jacket from 1970 which my small for his 5 year old wore as a perfect fit party jacket. Having been medically tripped and caused asthma with steroids for 17 years I look fine to the fat multitudes around me but am so much heavier, heartbreaking for a clothes lover.
This video was so so useful! Please do a part 2 and beyond! My hubby said he wished there was a male equivalent to this video 😂
This is brilliant. I am 77 years old and your presentations are hugely universal for any age. Wonderful work. Thanks
Really loved this video, especially because of your ability to compare and contrast similar pieces to illustrate different styles. Very educational!
Great video Lydia. My style words are classic modern and elegant. Explains why I have gradually updated some silhouettes in trousers, shirts and shoes.
I live in the midwest of the US, and the weather is hot, humid and is thick and unbearable. I notice you always layer, what are my options to look put together but weather friendly.
Just found you and loving your style, perfect for me at 71!! ❤
Hi Lydia, I'm 30 from South Africa. We are in Autumn/Fall currently. Love your content ❤
Amazing tips ❤ thank you for sharing with us🎉 love your concept of Styling ❤️
Great video, well put together. Definitely more like this please.
This was such a useful and relatable video. Yes, more like this, please! ❤
Very useful Lydia, thank you. I appreciate getting into your brain on this stuff and examples of how you think. Super helpful.❤
One of your best videos. Great idea on how to wear wide leg pants. Love them all. Thank you for sharing new trends and always keeping a very elegant look.
Loved this video! I am fashion-challenged, I feel. this is so helpful! Thank you for going in deep on how to style and why.
looved this kind of video, Lydia. I can really feel your passion in this subject and I would watch this kind of concept it in any category. I would love to hear more about the fact that traditional vs. modern is a style choice and a fun way to play with your (our) classics pieces depending on your (our) mood and occasion. for at family dinner I might enjoy a more traditional/elegant styling vs. a night out with the girls where i've go for something more boxy/smart/sexy.
Such a great video! You have taught me so much over the last few years. ❤ As I watched you go through the basics I could see exactly how far I've come. Lord knows I needed guidance. I didn't have a clue. Just a closet full of cheap magpie pieces. Nothing worked together. It was so sad. Now I feel like a graduate. Thanks to you!
Thanks for teach with your style. I’m not English speaking but you have a wonderful pronunciation and lovely manners to express the ideas. Love your style. I’m near 60 and you’re very inspirational. ❤
I loved the video! You explain the concept so well. I love how you make dressing a narrative gesture, with it’s own feel and subtleties. I would love a similar video strictly about shoes. Thanks!
Would love to see more of this kind of videos please.
This was one of your best videos -
I love your videos! They have been so helpful. Can you do a video on wide tapered jeans in navy and dark grey color specifically. I find these jeans and navy colored jeans hard to style. Thank you x
You are such a beautiful and elegant lady. Not like most of these content creators, on RUclips in there underwear during outfit changes. You are a pleasure to watch ❤
love your videos mainly because you explain so well why some things look better together than others. it helped me a lot without having to buy everything new. 😊
Lydia!! Are you planning any meet up in London? I’ll be traveling from Spain ❤️
I loved this video. It spelt out what I probably already could see intuitively and explained why.
My style of dressing is now making complete sense to me. I'm 57 and as I've got older I've gravitated even more to a more masculine style style of dressing. I love tailoring, especially blazers, shirts, polo shirts, sharp angles, stiff fabrics.
I now never wear dresses, skirts, anything soft, flowy, draped, floral, embroidered, embellished, pretty or dainty. Somehow all these things make me feel even older, and outfits that may look good on somebody younger just somehow seem to age me even more. I feel prim, prissy and dated.
Whereas if I wear for instance a tailored trouser suit - wide legs, oversized with a shirt I feel sharp, structured, put together but modern. Cool even.
When you said 'sharp' it all just fell into place. I knew it all intuititively, but your video helped to explain why. The older I get the more I have to dress 'modern' and the less I can get away with 'traditional'. Whereas somebody much younger can look great in a more traditional style.
I agree entirely. At 61 I look much better in a sharper cut than the flowy.. and I wear a lot more shirts.
Great Video, so interesting to compare good and traditioal with changing so little to modern style 👍🎀☀️
Please leave links for us outside of LTK. Not everyone wants to jump through the hoops for more apps. Thank you
A few months ago you did a short about tailored blazers being the updated silhouette after several years of boxy blazers. Wondering if you still feel that's the case. Being petite, I struggle with blazers feeling too big and long on my frame.
Yes I do think tailored blazers really have their place! I think maybe focus on something with a nipped waist, possibly with some shoulder pads. It’s all in the styling as well! ❤
I love the straight jeans (traditional) but what length do you wear, ie are they above your ankle as I have to say they look short
Yes, pls do share more tradicional vs modern look videos, thank you so much! ❤
This video is absolutely brilliant. I loved how you explain how/why the pieces achieve a certain look. This is all about mixing pieces most people already own, not about don’t wear that, buy this instead! This has really helped me identify a couple of pieces i could add this spring without over buying. Please keep making these really helpful videos, thank you.
I love love love how you broke this down and explained each item! Thank you so much, you have definitely helped me to elevate my style.
This makes sense, some pieces I like the traditional style like the grey skirt. Others, i like the moderns one, like the loafers, but is helpful to see each and get an idea of how you can make work with what you have already. 💕
Great video, yes please do more like this one.
Thank you!
Well articulated Classic-Modern! Loved this video❤
Marvelous presentation, Lydia. I would love to see more of this contrasting concept using more clothing pieces and perhaps how to style traditional vs modern jewelry. It would also be wonderful if you can demonstrate how to mix and match these styles. What are your feelings about double-breasted blazers? Thanks.
Hi Lydia, I found your channel by watching one of your shorts. I absolutely love your style. In the shorts I watched, you wore a pistachio green silky shirt/blouse/jacket with its own belt. Can you PLEASE tell me where that gorgeous piece is from? Thank you
Great video, done so well. Yes, more like this. Thank you.
❤❤❤❤a wonderful video where we can appreciate the subtle and important differences between traditional classic and a more modern take on classic styles 🎉
I love your channel. I think we could appraciate more your wonderful styling if the wall behind you was beige/taupe like in museums when featuring art. White or black on a white wall makes it how to say, ordinary. Many photographers sware by the rule no white plain background, ever. Thanks for the best tips on YT!
Love!Love!Looove!You are the best!👏🫶💋🌹
Ur so lovely & cute💋😘😘😘👄👄😘😘💋💋💋
People are obsessed with this "timeless", "minimalist "old money" aesthetics trends. And they forget that fashion is a self-expression. Your style should represent who you are.
I have exactly the same thought. It is not authentic and not you if you are trying to copy a style of a group you are not part of😊
@@fpopstudio this is a weird comment. People can dress however they want, regardless of whatever “group” they belong to. Your comment seems to imply that people who don’t come from money should stay in their place and “dress poor.” That’s ludicrous.
@@BoringTroublemaker Amy, of course you and they can, the question is why? Why this obsession to look rich in those neutral no logo, no personality clothes? You have your unique personality, probably a much better one than any old rich girl or boy, so why not count on that and not an expired generation? I was reading a couple of days ago the experience of Garance Dore when she needed to attend an event with these type of people, she wore neutral clothes, bags, so she confidently thought she would fit in only to realise that these ladies were carrying only colourful Kelly’s and jogging clothes because they don’t need to spend money on neutral (which are more expensive btw) to look rich, but she did spend those money only to realise she is not fitting in actually. So, I want you to look wonderful and authentic in your clothes, not poor. It is not only poor or old rich, so many nuances in between
@@fpopstudio not everyone wants to walk around wearing bright colors and tacky logos all over their clothes. You’re making an assumption that people who dress in neutrals do so because they want to look “rich” when there are a lot of reasons why they might dress that way. That’s pretty presumptuous of you. And no, neutrals aren’t more expensive. Virtually all basics come in neutrals at all budget friendly stores. For plus size women it’s a lot easier to expand your wardrobe by adding beige, white, gray, and navy to the sea of black we have been trained to drape ourselves in, than it is to find a brightly colored print that doesn’t end up making us look dumpy. Frankly, it’s just _easier_ to put together an outfit of neutrals.
But ultimately the issue is that you aren’t the arbiter of someone else’s authenticity. You don’t get to make that judgment simply because it’s inconceivable to you that someone could choose to fill their wardrobe with clothes that don’t fit in with your personal understanding of what makes _you_ feel comfortable and authentic.
@BoringTroublemaker Amy, I bet you are beautiful in both neutral and colours and not dumpy. I like to dismantle limiting beliefs and support women feel at their best and unique. That's all!
Loved this! Please do more 🤍
I really liked your videos and tips how to look stylish:) I was wondering how did you get into fashion in the first place? I am looking forward for the more videos like this one I think recently I have got up the nerve and I have started wearing mom jeans and straigh leg jeans not only skinny jeans and I feel great weaaring them
Love that you give two options and the ability to mix and match x
Great video! Thanks for the inspo!!!
I really like this, i think i have been doing this mix and match but now i can do it more intentionally , thanks a lot. Saludos desde Chile
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! So much needed and useful information. Trying to build the basics of a traditional classic style. Did away of a bunch of things I had that I was never going to wear.
Always great advice. I often end up buying clothes I never wear and trying to change that. I’ve always loved the classic modern style but got off track recently. I’m 70 years old from Southern California.
Love your videos Lydia ,I’m 73 but gain so much from you ,so inspirational. Could you tell me what size your flattered black ballet flats are? I a. 391/2 -40
Hello Lydia, thank you for your content! I have a question, and would be so grateful if you could come up with some examples. I tend to adopt a classic style, more casual or more sharp according to the circumstances. What I am struggling with though, is that when I dress for slightly more official circumstances (e.g. celebrations for national holidays, end-of-the-year festivities of cultural groups, etc.), I feel that my outfit is not at all youthful and I would really like it to be more fresh. I am 38 and not have a very impressive image. So please can you share your ideas of how to make a classic outfit more fresh? Especially for more formal events - circumstances. Thank you very much!
I have used and reused this video. Thank you @LydiaJaneTomlinson for this very useful video. Would appreciate more videos like this. Perhaps even a series. I’m located in the southern hemisphere and our seasons and weather don’t match but the content is suitable regardless!
Loved it. Thank you ❤🇦🇺
