Ugh I love how your wardrobe is so simple, you seem to mix and match so effortlessly, then add some pieces of jewelry and look so classy! This inspires me a lot to get my wardrobe sorted once and for all!! I would personally love a 'what i wore in a week' type of video in moonuary. :D
i just want to say that i really appreciate that you are opening your eyes and trying to be more sustainable. after reading some comments i’m sad with how people are treating your fashion journey, but know that you should be proud that you are making an effort!! plus it is a journey and you only have to take steps where you can! thanks, that’s all!
I'm just wondering, how many pieces in total do people have in capsule wardrobes? I just feel like Lucy has more items in her capsule wardrobe than I have in my non capsule wardrobe, and I buy the vast majority of my clothes from charity shops/ebay/depop and keep them for years haha
@@TMcCarrick I kind of just don't get it, because if people have lots of clothes in a capsule wardrobe and buy new items every season it's not super sustainable
@@mazgraz I understand clothes needs to be replaced, wear and tear and all that but being sustainable is the core message, not replacing stuff every month, It wouldn't be as bad if stuff was thrifted/charity shop, but it's not.
I think what you’re forgetting is that capsule wardrobes are best for people who previously bought a LOT of clothes all the time- if you already have a small wardrobe then you’re already achieving the goal! In all that I’ve watched (theannaedit has some fab, realistic videos on capsule wardrobing) the goal with buying new stuff is that it mostly happens the first year to fill the holes (ex if hypothetically I used to have eight white sweaters, I got rid of seven of them to charity shops, now I feel like I would like one grey one to replace those eight white ones...). If you’re looking for someone who does the capsule but with mostly thrifted additions check out Kitty Cotten, great vids, adorable style and she’s super invested in being sustainable :-)
Boring request but could you possibly make a video about your dissertation and how you approached it. Like how your started with researc h or planning and everything before the actual writing. I'm on my year abroad about to go in to final year and need to get a move on with actually understanding what a dissertation even is haha
Hey! So I follow this girl called GraceFitUk, and she's currently writing her diss at Oxford and has a looooaaad of videos on how she plans and studies!! Would highly recommend if you're looking for some helpful vids xx
Totally with you on the jeans front!! I want to invest in a good quality pair of jeans, and if those jeans cost £90, you really have to think about how many years you'll wear them for. Levi's are actually quite an ethical brand! They're very transparent on their website
If you want straight jeans, this is go to: www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-ladies-common-jeans-black/50846 (also in blue). Just use your measuring tape and you will know if they are right fit for you.
I am so grateful for this! I really want some lovely ethical winter picks and this helped me out massively! I purchased my first sustainable t shirts last week, my ethical clothing journey has finally begun- thanks for the inspiration! :)
I’d definitely recommend getting the “Good on you” app. It gives brands ratings based on their ethical approach to labour, environment and animals. It’s an american app so sadly not all brands we’d found here are on there but I was really surprised to see that Everlane’s rating is actually very low!
If you would Like To get some super sustainable jeans, you should check out mud jeans. They are quite expensive (120€), but they are fair trade, Made Out of bio-cotton and recyceled fabric. In addition, you can get 10€ or so off your order If you send them back an old pair of jeans, which they will use to recycle. Also the packaging is used multiple Times. I personally really Like the fit and how Long they Last.
I love that you commit to cruelty-free beauty, but what are your thoughts on leather shoes? I respect that you're avoiding dyed materials though, that's a good step!
Even if you don't add too many pieces for spring, I'd love to see a total overview of your wardrobe and all the pieces you have. I've also been enjoying "shop my closet" videos, where people dig through and create new outfits with items they already own.
YEEES please give us more capsule wardrobe videos...... even a spring one or just one where you help us planning a capsule wardrobe idk.. we would love to see fashion you are such a style icon!! thank you xx
Ooh for gloves, I highly recommend a company called Turtle Doves who do recycled cashmere fingerless gloves which are sooo lovely and soft and warm! ❤️
I absolutely love your videos, lucy. However i feel like sustainability and ethical branding is something you care to promote - in which case you should look more into the companies you are also supporting in this video - & other stories is a dirty company as well as Weekday. It's all a journey obviously but as consumers we have a huge responsibility to not simply satisfy with the easy and most attractive purchases. xxx

This is a fair point, but I'm pretty sure she's aware of this and has sort of addressed this in other videos - part of the problem being that she isn't made of money and thus can't quite yet afford to switch entirely to sustainable/ethical brands. (That's my memory, anyway.)
best way to do this is to enforce it in your own life. I recommend the good on you app which has a pretty vast database of retailers- they do a lot of research into various aspects of sustainability.
Áine Órga i mean i make $10/an hour at starbucks and have been able to switch to a fully ethical and sustainable wardrobe. so i find it VERY hard to believe that someone who’s full time job is youtube and can make absurd amounts from a single brand deal, can’t afford ethical and sustainable fashion.
This year I asked my parents for Christmas a pair of black leather gloves, good quality (from Florence), a classic that will last and I won't ever get bored of. I'm so happy with them :)
I absolutely love how you and other people with a following have started to talk about sustainability and ethical choices - that alone is so important and not seen nearly enough, which is why I think it's really annoying that basically all the comments on this video are criticising Lucy for not being 100% perfect in these matters (leather, wearing a jumper once a year, ...). It's obviously impossible to make only completely ethical choices and I think we need to focus more on the good aspects of what Lucy is promoting, and maybe on the mistakes of people who are doing much worse than her
That peachy beige jumper from and other stories is AMAZING! I looks so good on you! Loved this! I'm really interested in also creating a capsule wardrobe one day!
wranglers black skinny jeans have done me well, they fade a bit but they fit my lil waist n big hips & the sizes are waist n leg so my 28w 32/34l is still accommodated for hahah
If you’re looking for long high waisted jeans urban outfitters bbg has a pair that I think they call girlfriend high rise that are amazing! They only have them in blue but I donated all my other blue jeans and got two pairs!
You should try to find a pair of Edwin Jeans. I bought them secondhand, so maybe they were vintage, I'm not sure, but omg they fit as a glove, just perfect! I'm also hourglass shaped, wide hips and petit waist. It is SO hard to find good jeans.
i love your style so much! out of curiosity, what would you wear for an evening event/party? i struggle with finding something that fits into my style (which is normally very casual and plain colours) but that's suitably dressy
where are the prints hanging on your wall from/where do you recommend getting prints from? I have a big, empty wall in my flat hallway and I can't find something I love to hang there!
2 brands i love for jeans: Everlane DEFFO (the cheeky straight ankle i bought 3 already and wear them ALL the time) and the nordic brand Selected, thick cotton denim with GREAT vintage inspired cuts
capsule wardrobe aka reasonably sized normal wardrobe not capitalist personal shop. hope this is gonna be a general thing and we'll stop buying so much. love these vids.
There’s an Australian brand of jeans called Nobody Denim, I’d recommend checking them out if you’re after some good quality jeans!! They are a bit exxy, and not sure what shipping would be like to the UK, but maybe give it a suss :)
Where did you buy you're boots and what are the called? In the Netherlands we have a guy who makes Levi's (old ones) fitted to your body. His name is Mick and he is based in Amsterdam. His name is Mick Keus.
Hestra has great leather gloves (but I think it is as ethically Made as leather can be) they are great quality because it is a swedish brand and scandi’s now how to make great gloves
Love your videos, if you’re looking for good Jean I find weekday jeans and Levi have always lasted a long time for me, I agree with you on topshop jean they are rubbish xxx
My absolute favorite pair of black jeans came from an American brand called d jeans. I feel the struggle to find good jeans for long legs, and these ones fit like a glove. Worth noting that I have absolutely no bum, though. :/ Also, reading the comments under this video, I would guess that someone like Lucy, who is publicly taking steps to shop more ethically, gets more hate about shopping vegan than someone who's made no progress and has no intention of doing so. It's pretty sad.
Mega Margaux anything below 0c is technically freezing, especially for us Brits where it doesn’t actually doesn’t get tooo cold 😂 I do not envy you in your chilly weather though!!
they don't give you cancer, the chemicals are not in the leather they are used to dye it. So it's dangerous for the people who work in the leather factories, and that's why Greenpeace is reviewing companies to tell wich ones are etic.
@@myoldmanbaby s a m e it's like people are supposed to not have butts or thighs but somehow the waist should be, like, only 3mm smaller than the hips????
I don't think there's anything wrong with referring to something as nude when it's yours and you're referring to your own nude. I think it's definitely not cool to refer to it as nude basically any other time though.
K. Inez Seube agree! A brand shouldn’t advertise anything as nude because their customers could be any skin tone, but it makes sense to say “this item is a great nude shade for me”
anna barnardwright exactly! Also ‘nude’ for lipsticks seems much more universal (natural lip colours fall into a fairly slim range of light browny-pinks) than ‘nude’ used to refer to skin toned items (clothes, boots, foundation etc)
For the jeans, I love old navy. They're extremely comfy, online they have soo many options for tall, petite, plus size etc, they last forever, and they're reasonably priced.
Yes, what @@jessieee_p said. "Vegan" items are all essentially plastic and are destroying the habitats of the animals you're trying to protect. There is no perfect route to go when it comes to clothing ethics.

I'm pleased to say that your channel is presently my favourite!! Enjoying Moonuary so much.
Loving your Moonuary content ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just bought my first pair of everlane jeans and I love them! Such great quality and so cute!
Not related to the video, but just want to say that you look absolutely stunning with the dark hair!! It frames your face so well xx
I'd love to hear the jeans saga! Ive been trying to find jeans that fit well and are going to last for a while
Love the capsule series, keep it up!
Absolutely fab! I’m exciting to get snug in big scarfs and jackets
Really enjoying Moonuary!
I love Moonuary :D
And I enjoy your content in general ❤️
I just find it really ironic that after holding up a topshop sweater you wear once a year you’re talking about the true cost
we're not even half way through january and i already know i'm gonna miss moonuary in february
for jeans watch the docu River Blue!!! Nudie jeans are great! or Kings of Indigo jeans!
Loving Moonuary 🌙
Lucy! THANK YOU for this video! Can you share a link to that Greenpeace brand "chart" or something? Thank you again !

You look so good in this video! Like absolutely stunning!
Can you please link the items, I love that peach jumper!
I am thoroughly enjoying this video every other thing. Thoroughly.
so inspiring Lucy!
Love the boots! I'm going to go check out the Greenpeace page you were talking about, sounds perfect to get more sustainable :D
Yessss I love capsule wardrobe videos so much !!! xxx :)
I also interested in a good pair of black jeans that dont thin out and maintain the form. Any advice?
What lipstick are you wearing? You always wear lipsticks that compliment your skin tone so well! 💕
ehm.. the animals hurt when they dont get to keep their skin..
2 brands i love for jeans: Everlane DEFFO (the cheeky straight ankle i bought 3 already and wear them ALL the time) and the nordic brand Selected, thick cotton denim with GREAT vintage inspired cuts
Where did you watch The True Cost? Is it available on Netflix or similar? Thanks!

For the jeans, I love old navy. They're extremely comfy, online they have soo many options for tall, petite, plus size etc, they last forever, and they're reasonably priced.
„No one is suffering in order to get this shoes made”... said holding a pair of leather shoes 👎
"no one" refers to humans lol she didn't say "nothing"
Animals aren't a thing lol they're a living creature.
It’s a tricky balance either way - synthetic materials, including ‘vegan leather’, may spare an animal’s life but are terrible for the environment.
Yes, what @@jessieee_p said. "Vegan" items are all essentially plastic and are destroying the habitats of the animals you're trying to protect. There is no perfect route to go when it comes to clothing ethics.
Jordan Emmons buy second hand
Look on Etsy for some gloves lucy :) support independent!
the noise a dinosaur makes when it gets a winter capsule wardrobe: "rahh rahh."
Capsule more like CapsYULE
You're so fucking beautiful
You can just say nude no one cares
Oh girl, Greenpeace is really not a credible source of information. You should really find a better resource for finding out about clothing.
