Just watching a lot of your videos from the past. I feel like the comment I'm about to make applies to several that I've seen recently. I think that there is a category that I hear all three women groping for, but which, when you don't acknowledge it or its power, can be problematic -- which you could call Statement Pieces if you wanted to, or Works of Art even. These are pieces that stand on their own, and the rest of your outfit could just be considered as a frame for that piece. Alyssa's very structured cropped jacket in the baroque print of what I would call burnished neutrals, for me falls into that category. I think that several of Alyssa's clothes (and maybe the lavender fringe skirt?) that I have seen fall strongly into this category... perhaps related to aspiration and even fantasy, but they don't fall into the ways that we think about our everyday wardrobes, or even our typical three words. But they become Hell Yeses or they become Have to Have It because they are beckoning to us from the world of art and myth, and parts of ourselves that may be mysterious to us or unrealized as yet. Maybe in the world of "Mythical Self" or "Superhero Self," because it has elements that are deeply woven into who we are always growing into or becoming.

Can yall PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE STOP TALKING ABOUT COMMENTS PLEASEEEEEE yall are obviously going to get good AND BAD comments yall are obviously putting y’all’s selves out thereeeeee. Get over talking about bad comments makes me not want to watch your videos anymore and I actually like to binge your videos. It comes with the territory let’s move pastttttttttt that

To be honest, I have some fast fashion pieces that have outlasted more ethical brands in terms of longevity and quality. I can't really explain why that it is, but I think we need to judge the items for what they are and not necessarily where they are from. There are still some very nice curated vintage stores and that is the point of these stores - they are like boutiques and the owners take care to select the pieces but they also carry higher price tags. I agree with you, if you are going to a charity or consignment stores, you will get more cheap fast fashion and you will need to dig deep to find the treasures. BUT you get a lot better and quicker at identifying good fabrics and quality made items the more you thrift, so it is a good habit to cultivate for that alone! I think we all agree that when buying mindfully, it is not so important from where you buy if you are able to understand your own personal style, habits and essentially can differentiate quality, then that is the most important!

I was very inspired by the Norwegian tv show “SKAM” when I was in my late teens. The characters were always dressed in a kind of effortless and cool way. Lots of interesting and functional layers with jackets, scarves, hats. It was peak 2016 fashion inspo

Americans dress casually, to the point of sloppy, and most of us lack the weather excuse Canadians have. When I wear jeans and a blazer I look overdressed here in Denver, the land of puffy vests, leggings, and fleece 😂.

For me, a non Scandinavian, Scandinavian fashion means that it is simple and practical but cool. No fuss, yet with a nice sense of style. I also think Ikea's furniture style has something to do with my bias. We received their catalog in the mailbox every year, long before the internet existed and before we could have a real idea of ​​what fashion was like in Scandinavia. To me those styles are similar. The fact that there are more muted and natural colours in the clothing may have to do with the fact that there are quite a few blond, slender people filling the streets. They may naturally lean towards their 'colour season' and don't have to conceal themself in black clothes to have a slimming effect.

I feel like in Canada we have such a volatile outlook on beauty and fashion that most people end up feeling that if the way they look doesn't match up with the models or the IG influencers there is no point in dressing up or participating. Fashion and style in general is something for "beautiful" people and if you don't meet that standard you can end up feeling worse because it feels like your just trying too hard no matter what you do. That's something I've noticed here in Canada.

I live in Switzerland but have traveled to Scandinavian countries many times and this is what I observed: I think there are a few different aesthetics like Christina mentioned. One is the minimalistic “Acne studios” look, which is maybe more prevalent in Sweden? In terms of interior design this would be the “Bolia” look. On the other side of the spectrum there is the aesthetic of Ganni and Stine Goya, which I think is more of the Copenhagen vibe. My best friend lives in Oslo Norway and from what I gather people dress a bit more sporty there.

10:10 the app Whering has this setting where you can create outfits and it shuffles the photos of your wardrobe in 3 categories (bottoms, tops, outerwear and shoes). It already helps to give you images of new outfits, but you can also pin certain garments and keep shuffling the rest! It’s great and has helped me style those pieces I rarely use.

I see what you mean about the Toronto style. I work in financial district which is mainly corporate. I am seen as overdressed for the city, even when dressing casual as I will never wear athletic wear outside of GYM. While I lived here most of my life my roots are European and my style has never been fitting with city.

I was in Copenhagen for a week in September. What I noticed most was the simple and natural grooming. Nails, hair, makeup and eyebrows were not overdone or extreme and it is part of the Scandinavaian aesthetic. No one is screaming for attention through clothes and grooming so the aesthetic is calm. I love the small handknitted triangle scarves lots of girls were wearing. I am going back next week for a few days.

Thank you for this interesting conversation, especially the meaning of color. At the age of 66 I've decided to get my colors analyzed professionally, so I'm waiting for you, Signe, to open up for new clients. I'm pretty sure I'm Autumn but I'd love to know my subseason because I feel that my coloring is changing as I'm getting older.

Canadian here on the prairies in MB . I definitely have to dress for the weather. Winter months I live in layers. Long-johns, turtlenecks and thermals are a must. I find it is hard to be chic when it’s -35 out and you’re wearing a bellaclava! 🤣😂

Great episode, love hearing more about Scandinavian style! As a Canadian, agree with your comments-I live in Calgary, and remember being in a high rise building downtown one winter, and everyone I saw was in a long black puffer because it was cold and miserable! I vowed to bring some colour into my winter wardrobe, and this year added a sapphire blue wool coat!

I love this episode - I'm from Canada and now living in S. Korea but I always dress practically maybe this is the influence from the Canadian culture. Hearing all about your experiences, I also want to visit Copenhagen and see "the sauce" firsthand😊

When I see a woman wearing short skirt under a knee length coat, sheer black tights and loafers: french! in summer light floral dress, knee length or short and with ruffles at the bottom, flat shoes: french!

I have 2 coats for the winter, so not to get bored I often change bags, hat and scarves; less expensive than having several coats....

Lifestyle plays a huge part in California. You mentioned how people in Ottawa walk around in their hiking clothes all day; here it's our gym clothes. We are fortunate to have beautiful weather year-round and that definitely plays a huge part in what people wear. I'm a person who changes for most post-gym activites and I enjoy getting dressed up and wearing all my clothes when possible, but we generally have a very relaxed vibe here outside of the workplace. I know Christina was recently visiting L.A. What did she notice?

Nice! Please do an episode with Jenny Mustard 🙌🏻

Canadian here - everything that is said is completely true about Canadian fashion ! I had to really work hard in creating a collection of second hand clothes, accessories, socks and coats all based on natural fibres like wool and cashmere and do crazy amount of layering to wear super stylish and super toasty! It is entirely possible and doable through thoughtful shopping!

I am from Sweden, and I do definitely have the culture to "dress up" when I go out of my house. Practical, yes, but jeans, a nice sweater, wool coat and practical waterproof black sneakers. Or a knit dress and tights. Maybe the young generation loosens it up a bit, but I think most of us do as the people around us. But I don't know if I would think that trenchcoats is a staple in the wardrobe of a Swedish woman. Rather a sporty practical jacket or a sleek preppy puffer jacket.

When you say Eastern Canada, I feel like you are talking about Ontario and Quebec. Further east, Atlantic style is a lovely combination of practical and originality. Much like any other country or city or area, it depends on where you are watching from. Near the professional areas of the city, you are going to see something completely different from what you will witness in front of a supermarket or local Walmart. University or government cities and cultural centres are amazing for their style. Depending on where you are looking, you will see artistic style, smart looking outfits and attention paid to detail. Fashion, sadly, is often the expression of the higher educated and more affluent members of society. Some cannot attain better quality but still doing their best after taking care of housing, food and necessities. That being said when I watch many of the teens and young twenty-somethings, I often feel despair when I see what they are choosing to wear. I am not sure if they think they are being ironic or just don't have an eye for style. Sadly I feel it is the latter. I feel so lucky that I had high school courses, back so many years ago, that included skills such as learning about textiles and garment construction and styling. I enjoy listening to the three of you chatter and share your views. It is like sitting in on a conversation with my granddaughters and nieces. Thank you for sharing!

Living in MN, when it's below zero Fahrenheit fashion goes out the window for me. I'm not wearing beautiful wool coats or nice leather boots, I'm wearing real winter boots, puffer jacket, etc... I try to always dress nicer than average (no sweatpants, etc) but many times the winter weather definitely dictates how to dress.

Loved this today. I am traveling with my elderly parents to Sweden and Copenhagen in June because my dad needs to see it. His grandmother came from Stockholm and his grandfather from Copenhagen so it has always been where he needed to visit. Anyway, I will now be checking out the fashion and style much more - and might bring my comfy but cool hiking shoes.

Even very casual clothes are elevated by the elements of style that Alyssa demonstrates, and Christine's big slim skin

I live in Florida. The younger genaration usually wear tees, shorts and flip flops. And the retirees wear colorful Lilly Pulitzer styles. I am from South America and there people wear super tight clothes. They looks beautiful but super uncomfortable. Even when its super hot they wear skin tight jeans. No idea how?? 😂

Another great conversation, thank you! As an Ontarian, even though I *could* be a leggings and sweats out of the house person where I live, much like the other places referenced, I'm not. I spent too many years in track pants and leggings being unable to find bottoms (jeans, pants, skirts, anything) that I felt comfortable in/that fit my body. I enjoy styling clothing and exuding my personality, but also using styling as a mood boost. At that time I was at my lowest and felt stifled, because I couldn't find garments that would help lift my spirits and trying on clothes just made me feel worse. That and I was heavily influenced by my European family members who were farmers. To them, there is yard work clothing and then there is normal clothing, and you always change out of the yard work clothing because they were actually soiled and you needed a shower before anything else was done - I take those habits into my own home and life. Go figure I pick dirty work to do in my leisure time. So yes, two different outfits for home and out of the house most days, and the out of the house clothing is never leggings!

I watch Street Style Stockholm and Lumi Life (Finland). The textiles are beautiful and unique, and in Finland, the foods are beautifully packaged in bright colors and patterns!

Hi ladies, haven't finished listening yet, but boy do I feel you Christina and Alyssa. I am from the Czech republic and I feel like I always spot someone with sauce too because they stand out immediately. Especially winters here are very very boring in terms of clothing. And as you mentioned the cultural thing here is to wear different clothes outside than home. If going out for a grocery run or to work, school it is customary to dress up a bit more. At home comfy clothes all the way.

I also think, beside Ganni, about brands like Stine Goya and Marimekko, which are whimsical and colorful. And in my opinion very Scandinavian.

Let's not forget their relaxed and healthy lifestyle vibe that adds to the anesthetic..😊

I’m in Arizona and dress like a French Scandinavian ❤ often I feel over dressed, but I love what I wear, even when it’s 120 out-love all of you, you’ve really helped me be proud to get dressed and wear out my clothes!!

Jeans in the Walmart American South is dressing up. Fashion here is awful. I mean you’re gonna find some gems here and there, but in general fashion or looking presentable is not a super common thing and people will point out if you’ve made any sort of effort. I love fashion so it’s real sad, lmao.

I think there’s a lot of overlap between Scandinavian & UK style just based on geography & practicality. I think we’re like your (perceived as) more colourful, thrifty cousins with a bigger distinction between formal/casual in our image (a class system legacy? Eg how would you pre-judge the person in the supermarket with heavy makeup & cuffed joggers/leggings or the person in smart trousers & heels but more natural makeup?). We have regional traditional knits & patterns, too. Interestingly in the context of Scandinavian style, they’re mostly from Scotland & coastal areas. Real people need real clothes & people who live in grey weather need cheering up somehow (stylishness, colour, a bit of kitsch, personal expression, pattern, comfort, etc.). We’re a very mixed society in terms of how we dress for the supermarket, too, but I find there are some acquaintances I’d hate to be seen out in certain clothes with & others I really don’t mind. London vs rural UK style is also very different, I think. Oddly, I don’t think of Copenhagen as a fashion city vs London, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Milan, NY. I don’t mean this as a slight, though. Maybe it’s because we’re so similar, or because Scandinavian style has only really become a trend more recently (it certainly wasn’t a distinct style when I was growing up). I think the difference in Canadian style is more just how you think about your clothes because Scandinavian/UK weather is very similar.

Oh YES! excited for this!

I just wanted to thank you all for this episode! This and Christina's recent video on decluttering helped me so much. I think that my fantasy self is sustainable (environmentally, financially, and with my home and self care routinea). I've felt so much pressure to keep the remnants of past versions of me to repurpose but after watching these I discovered that they're really keeping me from being able to live the life I want and to start to build out a sustainable everyday style. I finally started a meaningful declutter this weekend. Lots left to do but I'm already feeling so much better!
