I love to mix and match within my wardrobe. I’m 52, and I have pieces that are from the 70s to somewhat recent “new” times. Since fashion is so cyclical, and I live in a four-season state, I get a lot of variety simply by layering.

I am mid-50's and need to make changes to my wardrobe to reflect that I look more mature now, (I have gone grey over the last couple of years) but I still want to "look with it" and not frumpy dumpy and invisible. This is a great video, for anyone who wants to give their wardrobe an overhaul. Start with your classic items, get rid of any that are past their best and add a few new ones. Then add your chosen flavour/style. I am not naturally "Edgy". I suit and prefer a more soft, natural, romantic look, so for me, something as simple and subtle as black nail varnish would give me an unexpected edgy and modern vibe. I have a fitted denim dress which I sometimes wear with black tights and soft black leather ankle boots, for a natural/trendy look and if I add some black nail varnish, it would definately tip it into a subtle edgy (and for me), unexpected look. Thanks for the inspiration. It is good to get out of our comfort zone and have a play with our wardrobes.

Great way to present a clearer understanding of steps to finding our own style expression. Love the sandwich metaphor. While studying Japanese culture I learned about a term called Wabi-Sabi. This greatly influenced my work as an artist-I believe this is another way to look at approaching style and fashion. I often see some Japanese minimalism influences in your clothing choices so you might like exploring the Wabi-Sabi way😘

Yes, please, more videos like this! I love this video because it acknowledges that we aren't all ONE fashion style or aesthetic and it helps us put together outfits that are truly ours and unique. For example, love mixing 90s minimalism with a smidge of classic or boho. It suits the climate, gives me a few pieces for colder weather, and guarantees that I always have classics in my closet for business occasions.

Loving this series, your tips and the Fashion Friends newsletter! I'm enjoying this week's 'homework' as I realised a lot of the tips are things I already do without thinking about it - a pant suit but make it wide leg and a little slouchy, worn with sneakers or chunky edgy boots; monochromatic with a pop of colour in a shoe or my watch / tracker band; mixing textures to make a black and white or monochromatic outfit look less flat... who knew I actually had fashion sense?!

Great video Emily! It's always the 'meat' in the sandwich that makes it an individual outfit as far as I can tell. When I dress head to toe in one designer, or from one collection even, it's easy but it gets old pretty quickly since I haven't put any of my creativity into it.

If you're foundation is black that is fantastic. You can easily throw in some color with layering pieces or accessories or even your bottoms.

As I'm in my late 20s I do want to incorporate more classics but I can't subscribe to the mainstream classic approach of head to toe classic pieces, it feels too stuffy for me, personally. My personal vision would be in the direction of the floral dress with the blazer and Converse: A bit of classic, a bit of gothic romance, a bit of grunge.

Hi from Canada! Love your vibe and this channel (subscribed a few years ago). I'm almost 60, 5'8", slim-ish, kind of a bit of meno tummy happening. I would love to see actual pictures of older women wearing edgy outfits... When I try, I start to feel silly or it's not "age appropriate" (i know, i know 😄). I also live in a pretty casual area, so I'm a little chicken and try "a bit" (maybe bigger interesting earrings or a bow in the hair) but I think I want to go a little harder. Of course I have combat boots (love them). I like to play in my wardrobe, try different combinations, but I think i need more solid suggestions. Would love to hear from y'all! Thank you!

Interesting/helpful commentary. What once upon a time was “edgy”, i.e. a blazer with jeans or a feminine dress with a denim trucker jacket, has become obsequious and of course “edgeless” and thus time to ratchet up the “new” edge …again, thought provoking

@softsophisticate 9 ай бұрын

To truly be edgy, you have to be comfortable standing out from the crowd. I live in the UK, here, not many people are, prefering to wear jeans and dark neutrals. I used to work in a clothes shop that sold hats, including 1920's style cloche hats. Young women in their 20's came in and tried them on. They looked fab and loved them, but would not buy one to wear. Why? Because no one else was wearing them. Despite looking amazing in them, they didn't want to stand out. Alli t takes is for one person to start wearing them and other women would see how good they look and voila a new trend is born.

I have a good understanding of the concept. I guess my question is if you see a "Law of Diminishing Returns" effect if you jump around between sandwich styles? I always enjoy an occasional experiment with a style but am finding that my wardrobe is getting a little out of hand. My classic basics are pretty standard, but are there a general number of pieces that you think are optimal for a manageable Edgy Chic wardrobe? Loved the Comme de Garcon Chuck Taylor's by the way...FUN shoes! 🙂

That's totally fine. I have the same problem. Good thing is that a lot of styles overlap and work together. That's why it's great when you have the classic foundation because then you can bring in whatever styles you want as contrasts. If you really want to pair down though, just choose the 2 or 3 that work best with your everyday life and you grab for most.
