Edgy to me (at 63) is when someone says “what are you wearing” in a derogatory way then I know I’ve hit my mark. Have been going against the grain for over fifty years…not stopping now. Plan to wear my harness boots into my eighties.

Just saw a picture of myself when I was 24. I was wearing a black turtleneck and great jeans. Nothing beats that effortless look . I am still that same girl at 70. Love love love your style. Very inspiring.

I am just loving your channel. I am 63 and would love for you to make a video on edgy chic for the mature women. I know you spoke about your mom and her shoe purchase, I can't remember if it was the airforce sneaker, but would love to see her style as well. I am in this season of my life of minimalism. I just bought a new home and I have been purging years of "STUFF", and that includes stupid clothing purchases. LOL.

Agree completely with all your points. I’ve pursued my style since early teens (I’m 65) with the objective of originality. I suppose classic with edge, and a tiny bit of rebellion is the description, with hair being at the top of the list. I’ve had all styles of hair, but a fierce pixie is my signature. And, black, how I love black. I asked my mom for a black dress when I was 8, and of coarse she said “little girls don’t wear black”… I was so disappointed. 😉

Excellent summary of edgy chic that can be applied to any style! My parents were hairdressers and told me to get a good haircut and good shoes and I will always be chic! I add jewellery and monochrome to these 2 components.

Your hair is what has me hooked. It set the stage for everything else. I think you are incredibly stunning and unapologetic. You demonstrate such strength and confidence in your style and presence. You are real and that is why I follow you and watch your channel.

I’m 68 and people often comment on my clothing style by saying “only you can get away with that outfit”. I love being different whether it’s considered on trend, outdated, classic or quirky. I wear what I like.

I've fallen down the rabbit of these kind of fashion videos but yours has been the most informative and enjoyable so far. Good job!

Over time, I’ve figured out that if I wear two of one color, they might not match or might clash, but if you wear 3 of one color, they blend and look great.

Totally agree about having great hair. I am 60 and have always had an edgy haircut, my current one being a bowl cut with undercut sides and back (together with my natural grey hair that I love!) I always say to my hair stylist, “I might be 60 but don’t give me an old lady cut!”

At last, a relevant style conversation.

I love black now thanks to your channel. I thought I was washing myself out more since I’m fair-skinned. Navy blue is still my favorite go-too. It’s close enough to black. Love the monochrome look. Thank you for making these videos. I am learning how to find my style while also whittling down my wardrobe to have only things that make me feel put-together and edgy…at 52.

Thanks, Emily. Always enjoyable insight for great style! 😊❤

Love love love monochrome! Great video thank you

Wow! I just found your channel. I just ordered my 2nd pair of Dr. Martens(the pair I bought in 1987 are long gone) I’ve just recently started rediscovering my style and remembering how much I love fashion! I searched “styling DM” a few days ago and wasn’t inspired by the results. I woke up the next morning, and the KZfaq Gods/algorithm suggested this video in my inbox. I. Love. Your. Content. Your style sense is inspiring. There are parallels to my own! (My “boyish charm” is a little more “Dandy-ish”) Anyway, thank you! Keep up the good work

Hi Emily! I totally agree with all of your hacks and love your style in general! We have lots in common stylewise. Ofc you are waaay more stylish and cool than me but I think we have quite same wavelenght with this topic. Oh yes hair is totally a big thing. I am so glad I chose to start dye my hair in 2017. I like to have purple/violet/burgundy hair that's my thing (and since I cannot style it and I have lots and lots of it it's nice to have some oomph if you will with it). Love to mix femininity, classic timeless style and edgy chic (with a hint of sporty because comfort and Finland's weather) and always wearing only pieces I feel very, very comfortable in (I am a hsp so I have to take care of that aspect at all times). Dresses and statement earrings have always been very me and I like to have spesific materials and cuts in clothing items. Wearing all black is my go-to since day one. Only on my wedding day I chose to wear purple gown with nude and black to make it extra special. I have been wearing black on black since my teenage years (I think I was around 14 years old then and I am 30 now) and it's still feels home to me I know I'm gonna wear black to day when it's my time to decompose. Now I'm interest in to incorporate some deep dark jewel tones like night forest green, midnight blue and wine / burgundy red to my black wardrobe. I feel home in my current style but feeling curious to have something new to spice it up a little since I nowadays know what I like to wear and why. I'm quite new here and sooo happy I found my way here 'cos have been looking someone sharing edgy chic style content for awhile and you are the only one I found to be what I'm looking for. So thank you so much for being here and making videos so well! You seem to be very nice person

Completely love this episode Emily … thanks for the brilliant tips ❤️❤️❤️

Yup, yes. Thank you. 🙏🏻💜

On the past few years I traveled a fashion journey; started a capsule/mindful wardrobe and changed my style a lot from colourful/feminin/sporty, to chic/clean/sporty. Because of you I am on my way to some kind of edge in my style and I love it🥰 thanks for your inspiration 😘

Another on point video Emily. You create epic content...and thank you for mentioning Phoebe on Friends...I loved her style too along with her silly cat songs ;). Also a huge Thank You for featuring me on your My comments on Your Style video last week. I couldn't believe it!!! I didn't comment on the video as I was in transit and flat out work wise but I was super pumped about it💜. And yes to the importance of hair and hair cut and colour. As one wise hairstylist explained to me when I was young...you can change your clothes daily but you wear your hairstyle every day. They were wise words.😉

I couldn't agree more with what you said about a good haircut. I'm 44 and I've had so many different styles over the years, but the ones which make me feel my most confident are the more edgy ones. Currently rocking an undercut bowl style, and absolutely loving it.

I like this format. Some talk and then some cool examples with fun music. Excellent

Thank you for your videos Emily! Love them all, but this one is the best! Charlotte

SO helpful, Emily. Your best video yet - I am bookmarking it!

Love the black cardigan with the off center zip!

FANTASTIC video Emily! It’s like you were in my head, agree with all! Loved your Phoebe reference, she’s not a character you’d immediately think of when thinking edgy chic but you’re absolutely right! Thanks for the tips, I do follow many already, however due to lockdowns here in Ontario , I’ve been cutting my own hair for nearly two years now😩 Some cuts have been better than others😏 Cheers from Canada🇨🇦

You are already helping me 2nd day in! Compliments omg! 😍

Age 70. I now have a short punky pixie. I have had it for about 6 months. I love that messy is better.

Thank you for such an inspiring and comprehensive video. This was one of the BEST

So good! Because of another of your videos - the hair / shoes sandwich video - I cut my hair. I had been wearing it up, a la Helena Bonham, but I got what you were saying, and cut it off. Myself. I have a method, and have been cutting it myself for years. It’s a shortish shag and I look fantastic. It was just what I needed! ;0) Thanks!

LOVE your hair style!

Another GREAT video....thank you.

That blue suit is fantastic, and you look fabulous in it. The color works so well with your skin tone.

Great video Emily! Have been subscribed and watch your videos all the time! Just don’t comment. Really enjoy your edgy chic style!

It's my first time on your channel so thanks for mentioning stuff you obv mentioned in other videos before :D instant sub! I'd love to hear more about haircuts for different faceshapes from you and how to counterbalance different cuts, even I you wear a soft/feminine/not edgy cut

I love what you have said and shown us here. I am also going to practice the flicks that you've done with your eyeliner. I have had people say to me, 'that's very you, but I couldn't carry that off'. I haven't heard that for a (long) while, so I need to get with it again. Thanks for this- it will jump start me again...🦩🦩🦩

Great style points as ALWAYS!!!! Would you consider doing a video on stylish/edgy/classic rain outfits? Recently went on a trip to a walking city during a tropical storm. The rain was a warm (80 degrees)steady shower so we still went out (had to eat of course!). I found it challenging to still look and feel put together while being practical. Rain boots with a shirt dress? 🤷🏻‍♀️. Thanks ☺️

Owww Emily, you inspire me so much. uptil now I was inspired by french chic ladies, quite classic and stylish. I learnt a lot of them about style. But: Now that my face is getting older in my fifties, I feel my appearance with that style is too stern, too classic. Seeing your videos suddenly I get it, how to style myself in a way that I feel I get my edge again, feeling strong and happy and playful. Not like Emily Wheatley but like my own new edgy me!

Hello you have become one of my favorites to watch! Keep up the good work... question... You mentioned edgy hairstyles that you've tried it all can you maybe touch on a new video or show us what your hair look like shaved off Gray etc all the different styles you mentioned? Would love to see.. ty Mel 🙂

You are one cool girl! Love your channel.

Yes yes yes 🙌🏾 just found your channel love it, I vibe 💯 definitely Mpls 🎉

You are my wannabe everyday everywhere!

Great video! 👏🏻👏🏻

Black is a great look, I see many wearing black and it is not their color. I would love to wear black, but people always ask me if I am feeling all right. Or ask me if I am sick. I have a spring color pallet and black is not a color of a Spring person.

Excellent thank you.

Looking gorgeous as always sister!! And loving the definition of chic ;)

Great video love the tips I try not wear all black, but I usually add a bright trench or silk scarf 💛

I can't wait for my next haircut, it's in a few days. I used to go for a full year without cutting my hair and no matter how much I changed what I wore I felt I always looked the same. In my case, hair length is key. I have to make sure I don't have it up all the time because it definitely takes away from my style. Loved the video, great advice as always ♥️

I just discovered your channel. I love your style. And I want your haircut! Lots of love from Germany🤩

p.s. love my sootheez love my mott and bow striped shirts. And my everlane 100% human shirts. I got my daughter in law one too! Oh yeah ordered soothezz for my grandson giancarlo too. xoxo Emily.

Just found out about your channel. Love your style. Mostly your take on shoes ❤

Great hacks Emily! I love those high heel booties, suggestions on where I can find similar ones?

Your my favorite teacher. 🍎

Fantastic choice of music 🖤

Yes please do one for 60 plus. No one thinks I’m 60 and I love to be classy chic. However shoes are hard to find I think

Love the outfit with striped pants, I'm going yardsaling tomorrow looking for edgy chic clothes & how about boho jewelry ?

Black! YAS!

i want to know about the black and white cardigan you're wearing. love.

Love your casual style! Wish you would get another close buzzcut. It really suits your fine facial features. JMO.

well wow...Emily I just cannot believe I've found your channel after literally years of browsing you tube and insta, and feeling like so many content creators don't quite speak to my style, some get very very close - @karenbritchick who I adore but mostly I feel like I can't find someone who feels the same way I do about style. Then along you came tonight, when I was browsing as usual.... A huge huge thank you for being what I have been looking for for such a long long time!

100% on the haircut tip. I always wanted long hair, but at certain length it starts to look meh. Then I go extreme, and chop it off and reset.

Hi! Another fab video, but of course!! 🤩 Could you please tell me where to find a cardigan like, or similar, to the one you are wearing? Thanks, babe. Amy xo 😘

🖤🖤🖤

Your intro is bomb !

😍

I think I am you or you are me! That’s me in a nutshell sporty edgy(although I really want to express it more) chic! And I haven’t heard that term garçon in a very long time! I wore demi-garçon haircuts throughout my childhood. However at the same time I grew up having to wear dresses everywhere and catholic school uniforms! Jeans were for the rebellious kids….ya know! And being catholic and Asian and a mom and wife, I always feel like I have to look conservative and feminine. C’est la vie 🫠

Really enjoy you and your content! Haircuts matter. I now have a grey pixie since I grew it out and then had it chopped. New stylist gives me a great style.

Love the video. I do not agree that black enhances skin color (in all cases). I am in my 60's, so I have lost much of the color in my skin, lips etc. When I wear black, I have to enhance my makeup more that I like. However I do have a lot of black, I just can't put it near my face without adding something with color. Still I took a lot away from your video so I am glad I found your channel.

When you went to black and I saw The Anna Edit, laughed, so good

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hey Emily, you have nailed it again! I love black and monochrome. I was definitely one of those people who thought, you either have edge or you don't but after watching your video I am ready to make some changes. Thanks for all the helpful tips and hacks, you always inspire me to try out different things. Love love love your channel xx CindyN

When it comes to hair, you are a minimalist, too

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi Emily! I've been obsessed with your leather choker (it's leather, right? Lol). Please share where I can get it!! Lol

Speaking of counterpoints, I think chic is looking effortless but intentional.

I am in my early 70s and naturally pale color. EG blonde hair. Do you think black is too overwhelming

Great tips. I fear you are right about the hair too. Darn it, maybe I should make more effort.

I think hair is so important with style. That long, I didn’t do anything with my hair look is not stylish at all. No edge to that.

What's your thought on leggings as pants? I'm very comfortable in skinny jeans but when I try to wear leggings as pants I feel naked and super underdressed.

Very beautiful pair of shoes

New here.

Intentionality and complimentary accessorizing, not # of pieces, breaks the mainstream mold! No shade on stylistic mininalism, but that's trending now. I'm glad that you gave an example of chic maximalism♡

Black = sophistication = edgy.

Right about black….

You have a beautiful face and can pull any hair cut off.

I can't wear black as it makes me look like ima vampire. All washed out, white face. So I add color around my face. I'm a bright, clear color, girl with a bit of edge, if that's possible. On combat boots...they've become much more mainstream so it feels like they've lost some of their 'edge'.

I think The color black is very over rated. It drains the face of color - esp for those over 40. Lots of stylists suggest navy or gray as a softer and more flattering alternative.
