@geniej2378 Жыл бұрын

One thing I'm learning is to have a light and dark version of your basics. It makes it so easy to mix and match outfits! Light and dark wash jeans. A light and a dark pair of shoes. Light and dark blouse. Doesn't need to be black and white, doesn't need to be solid colors, just needs to give an impression of light or dark. Note I like to dress in high contrast outfits, but I think those are easier to make an impact with over tonal outfits where the texture gets to be exaggerated.

About boredom. It's important to remember that most people do not see you or what you wear as often as you do. They won't necessarily find your style boring. In the past I have given clothes that I had tired of to friends. When some time later I saw them wearing my garments I was impressed with how splendid they were and wished I'd never parted with them. This is why I don't comply with the advice to give clothes away if I haven't worn them for a prescribed length of time. I rest and resurrect them which often allows me to fall in love with pieces all over again. This is where loving timeless styles helps. Yay! This year I can rock the Canadian tuxedo (blue jean) look again whereas up until now I have worn the jacket and jeans separately.

You reminded me of the time I gave a seldom worn sweater to a friend. Months later she came to my office to meet me for lunch. I complimented her on the sweater and she started laughing. "It's YOUR sweater. Don't you remember you gave it to me?" What had looked frumpy on me fit her different body type perfectly. I dislike discarding anything, whether household items or clothes, if someone else can use them.

One #1 tip for all women, no matter your shape: don’t get caught up on the size you used to wear, or think you are. As an example: I can wear sizes 4,6,8 in bottoms. In tops I am more or less a medium, but can wear Small or even Large. I have large shoulders for my petite build and a deep chest. It entirely depends on the cut of the garment and the material. These are American sizes by the way. I used to work in retail/ women’s clothing. My regular customers learned to trust me when I would bring a size they didn’t think would fit them. It’s isn’t so the size as the cut and fit of something. Trust me. 👍🏻👍🏻

@anaalves3658 Жыл бұрын

So true, I also find that different brands will have different sizes, but the label always says the same size, you have to try it on , even if your ego is not happy with having to try a bigger size.

@Kittsuki Жыл бұрын

I've recently tried my hand at making my own clothes, and found that the baggage of clothing sizes quickly melts away when you realize how much more flattering it is to wear something that is tailored to your measurements, regardless of your size. Somehow we've gotten this idea in our modern culture that we're supposed to fit the clothes when it should be the other way around!

I have a friend who has a "uniform" and never deviates from it....white tank top, black pants, waist length jacket. She accessorizes with amazing jewelry. I've known her for 14 years and her style has never changed, except for the occasional formal gown. Her jackets are stunning and because of the array of fabrics and jewelry she never looks the same. It works for her but I prefer more variety.

I really love "take care of your clothes," particularly because that's for everyone. Even less expensive clothing can be taken good care of, and that's a good way to be fiscally responsible for yourself, and a responsible consumer.

@heidimeigs5192 Жыл бұрын

I have a washer and dryer at home…which is very convenient…..but rarely use the dryer except for towels & sheets. I wash all clothing in cold water, on delicate cycle. Then I either hang to dry or lay flat on collapsible clothes drying racks. Most of my clothes are inexpensive but last for years because I take care of them. I am retired so I have less laundry than people with families at home, I also don’t have to maintain a work appropriate wardrobe anymore. So I understand that not everyone has the time or space to do as I am able to do. But just switching to cold water and a delicate cycle will help. And remember that everything doesn’t need to be washed after one brief use. I will often hang these items outdoors to air out. Sunlight and a breeze work wonders. Good hangers are an investment that helps also. I always think it’s funny when I get a compliment on something I’m wearing and it’s a $20 dollar shirt I got at Walmart or a $20 linen shirt I got at TJ Maxx. I have 2 linen dresses I got from Walmart probably 15 yrs ago. They still look good and fit well because I baby them.

@dgriite Жыл бұрын

Justine, these are wonderful tips! Thank you for your great summary. I would add these two things that have also helped me at the beginning of my dressing/styling journey: - When looking at the whole complete outfit, have no more than 7 distinct visible elements. The ring or jewelry you constantly wear doesn't count, but a handbag with a distinct colorful scarf counts as two things. A statement jacket over a pullover or top counts as one (the top isn't visible). It helps not to overdo it with accessorizing, and it helps you put emphasis on certain elements over others. - Along with your uniform/proportions tip, I would add the factor of silhouette. A mom high waisted jeans with a short top and a tailored jacket creates a dramatically different silhouette than a slim straight jeans with a baggy top and an oversized coat, even if the textures and colors of each piece are the same. Know what silhouette is your "uniform", know your secondary silhouette, and shop your pieces with those two silhouettes in mind.

My favorite tip, which I usually remember if I am going out (not so much at home) is to add a pop of color to a outfit. I tend to wear a lot of darker neutrals. I also have a drawer full of colorful scarves. So the dark neutral is the perfect foil for whatever scarf suits my mood. I think a beautiful scarf is hard to beat as a quick and effective accessory.

For me taking care of your clothes also involves “maintenance”. If you notice a hole or ripped seam see to it as quickly as possible and use the right yarn (material and colour) to mend it. I have a little box of about 10 different yarns that match most of my clothes and I also made a tiny matching sewing kit for travel.

Nobody else does what I'm doing, and I get loads of compliments on my outfits on the street.

I have learned more from you than anyone regarding style and color. You are so talented and so generous with all of your knowledge. I can't thank you enough!!

Thank you for this Justine!! One thing I've learned to help me stand out stylishly from the crowd is to not just focus on purchasing pieces, including basics, new from ready to wear. I tend to find cashmere sweaters in a variety of different cuts and styles, as well as silk shirts and sometimes jeans secondhand. What i find at vintage or thrift shops are not exactly what is selling in regular shops since they are probably several years out of date, but whenever i come across the sweaters, shirts, or jeans that i love, i buy them. Those are my top 3 items of clothing and i can find unique "basics" that no one else has the exact same of, so even though I wear the same kind of thing nearly every day, i still feel special 💜

Trend refers to length of time, something can be both "trendy" and timeless. Chokers go in and out of trend since the 1700s but they always look good. There will be a time where your timeless pieces are in trend but it doesn’t mean they are no longer timeless. Nothing new under the sun.

In terms of appropriate laundry - woolens do best with a wool wash, ditto silks. Also, according to the salesperson who helped me at a nice boutique - try to dryclean "dryclean only" clothes as infrequently as possible. She advised me to get a steamer and steam my wool suit after each wear, let fully dry and then hang on the special hangers she provided, in a garment bag. She said, do this and maybe only dry clean them once, max twice a year for the absolute longest possible lifespan of the garments.

I love your channel! And your pragmatism 😂 However, I am saturated with the “timelessness” issue. Life is not “timeless” so we might as well make fashion statements…Everywhere I look, it’s about “chic”, “timeless” and “minimal”. And we all end up looking more or less the same…I tried to make a capsule where everything goes with everything (as if I wore all the clothes at once) and my OCD got activated, thus making me sad when I like some clothes in other colors which are not part of the capsule. I also invest in vintage statement pieces more (one per outfit, nonetheless) because I couldn’t care less about a white shirt and a navy blazer…😅 I adore art deco motifs, art nouveau, modernist, etc. So much talk about basics (although important) everywhere on youtube makes me fatigued 😂 I would love if you considered a video about eclecticism in fashion and how to embrace such styles in an elegant way. I know you mentioned combining different eras but I would really enjoy watching something specific (patterns, structure, unique combinations and examples). I would apologize for my rant but my white t-shirt made me do it 🙈 That aside, I am a big admirer of you and your channel. It’s educational and it brightens my day at the same time ❤

I have now discovered that I am bright spring, no wonder I was getting bored with my bright winter colours ( which I thought I was)! Keep up the great videos, your "newish" home looks nice too!

ALWAYS a pleasure learning with you...Best tip is clothing care, next is tailoring, layering textures 1st cousin to care, and mixing decades, well that just made my heart sing.

06:14 by far my favourite outfit right now to wear is a brick red with white thin stripes wool blend skirt i made from an 1895 pattern paired with a black white and red Chainsaw Man Merch T-shirt and chunky hiking boots i feel like it captures the chaos i am but with a cohesive colour pallete and keeps me in the right temperature to go to work in the morning without sweating profusely and without going numb from the cold at the same time. perfect for me

I am trying the tailoring with second hand garments because in good stores you can find some very nice ones from great materials. But of cause they are not always your perfect size. I feel, if I can buy high quality clothes for a price that is manageable for me I might as well make them look gorgeous on me for just a bit of extra money.

Thank you, Justine. I live on the west coast of Namibia and we often have all four seasons in a day, so can't really store any clothes. Different layering is thus a favourite, with good quality basics underneath.

omg.. this video came in perfect timing for me as I'm moving and in the process of critically deciding which clothes will make it to the new house. I had a capsule wardrobe for years, but in an attempt to change things up a little bit, the last year I did fall on the trap of buying a few skirts and dresses in bolder prints/colours, which ended up not using a lot. I think the question of "would I have worn this 5 years ago" it's a very simple filter to identify what actually belongs in my wardrobe, what will be actually used. Thanks as always Justine!

Oh for us tall people fit and size is so so important. I so often went wrong by buying without trying in real life and went straight online, and by settling for the wrong size because I liked a garment, so so bad. Thanks Justine I should let you know how much I love your work

@gorejs8396 Жыл бұрын

Merci, Justine! Excellent tips, as always. It's difficult to choose a favorite, but it was good to be reminded about mixing textures in monochromatic outfits & capsule wardrobes. The one about proper fit is arguably the most important, because no matter how fabulous a garment is, it won't look as great on a body if it doesn't actually fit that body. Tailors and people who do alterations can be expensive, but they're worth every penny. Your discussion of knits made me laugh: I once had a polyester knit dress that hung in my closet, & over time it grew about a foot longer (I'm not exaggerating) & became almost transparent. For a while, I wore it with a full slip, telling myself it looked like an intentionally sheer dress, but even that only worked for so long. I finally donated it, & I like to think of my little dress out there somewhere, still growing.

I love the tips, because it makes me think more strategically instead of impulse buying. I naturally gravitate to buying statement pieces, so I usually lack basics🙈. My uniform is a blazer, wide legged pants, midi pencil skirt or pleated skirt and a thick col sweater. I like to mix sporty style with business style. Mixing up textures is my favorite tip, it always looks stylish and I probably should use the tailoring tip for my clothes that are too big right now.

The capsul could be full of colourful clothes that mach. The capsul is made by you so you can choose lots of colours! I have seen that work beautifully! And you don’t have to only have basics in a capsul either! There are no rules like that! But I still agree with all your eight suggestions. That is a brilliant way to get a good wardrobe! ❤
