Simple and actionable tips. This is great content, thank you

The tip for long, wide sleeves is new to me, thanks, I really needed this one. My tops and sweaters with wide sleeves are driving me nuts! I decided not to buy anymore, but have two already. The other problem with wide sleeves is that my lower arms get too cold in them, they’re always the first parts of me to get cold when the temps drop. I’ve been wearing arm covers or “sleeves” under them, but it doesn’t look great and they’re a nuisance. Perhaps this tip will help with that, too, it looks like the elastic bands might hold the sleeves in closer to the arms. I even tried narrowing the wide sleeves with my sewing machine, but the knits stretch right back out again, so this only helped a little.

Wearing a top that is tucked-in, or just covers the (natural-waist height) waistband, is always more flattering because it improves the apparent proportions of our bodies in any outfit so much. The one-third on top, two-thirds on bottom proportion is so much more attractive to us humans than when outfits divide our bodies into apparent half-and half lengthwise proportions. Plus, we have an in-built preference for a shorter-torso, long-legged look over a long-torso, short-legged one. I keep urging women of my age range (I’m 64) to give up those tunics and huge tops they wear to “hide the tummy”. Regardless of body size or shape, it’s always more flattering to show the front waist, or at any least some of it, preferably the center. I’m far from having a youthful, flat, tummy myself, but always tuck tops in or wear short ones. Longer tops are coming back in style again, but this time around they’re fitted and worn open from the hem to the waist, which is so much more flattering than that big, blocky shape created by tunics and long, big shirts. The best thing I ever did for my style was to edit out all those big, long tops from my wardrobe, but it took me several years to figure out why my relatively long legs always looked so stumpy.

I love wearing long-sleeved silk shirts and blouses, because I can roll the sleeves down for cooler weather, or roll them up for warmer. But, this fabric is so slippery, the sleeves come unrolled and fall down right away and I use this elastic-band hack to keep them up. As with the belt-end tip, I finally ordered some rubber bands of the right weight and size for this - a hair elastic is too heavy for very lightweight, silky-fabric sleeves. I use them constantly, so no more too-long cuffs brushing again a plate or buffet-dish of food, etc. (Almost all sleeves are too long for me because I’m petite and they’re sized for the tallest women, but it’s too expensive, $150+ each where I live in the US, to have all the cuffs moved up, if it’s even possible at all). I also iron the cuffs “in the round”, pressing out the creases caused from ironing the sleeves flat. Those creases give an increased rigidity to the cuffs, and make them move more as a unit, so that when worn down, that extra stiffness makes them more likely to get stained, even though I’m always quite careful. I discovered that I prefer the way my tops look without the cuff creases, anyway, they’re just an artifact from the standard ironing technique and don’t add anything to the aesthetic, so I now iron all my cotton and linen shirts this way, too. The cuffs do stay cleaner. I also buy my silk tops directly from Chinese designer/manufacturers, too, like Lily Silk, because the shorter lengths used in most Asian sizing work much better for me than US or EU standards do.

I lost 50 lbs. over the last few years, so my belts are all too big, with floppy ends. So, I use this elastic-band trick, too. Because I wear lots more of different color belts, I finally got some clear, colorless rubber bands of the correct size, they don’t show much. I like your video.🙂

I loved this! I am 5'2" so I run into the same problems with my longer, oversized coats. Great ideas❤🎉

Excellent tips! I'm off to try tying my belt at the back.
