Closet Confessions: Dupe vs Designer | Fashion Haul | Trinny

- Опубліковано 24 лис 2022
- Dupe or designer - which is better? Trinny and Lucy are comparing high-end staples with their high-street doppelgängers for this week’s Closet Confessions. From the perfect pair of jeans to the ultimate sequin jacket, there are a few key pieces that it might be worth splurging on. But remember, price is not always an indicator of quality. Designer clothing isn’t always perfect, and you might be surprised by the gems you’re able to find for just a fraction of the price…

Thank you Trinny for another amazing video. At 62 I am really looking forward to you showing us "Ageless Cool" . I know it will be fantastic ....
Yes, we all still want to be Ageless Cool - I'm 74 and looking forward to your next show! thanks so much for your candor, your kindness, and your great tips!
Prefer Zara jeans and Cos top on you, Trinny, to be honest. They look like they fit you better. Cos is the best HighSt store by a mile.
I agree totally.
Same here, prefer the zara colour and the white topstitching.
And same here. The Zara/Cos combo looked cleaner & sharper, imo
Totally agree.
I agree! You look such a beautiful shape in the Zara/ Cos combo.
I absolutely love it when Lucy ask the questions cause she asks such clever questions that you might not really think of. Yet another fantastic episode. I always learn so much. Love you Trinny and team ❤️
My daughter is a fashion designer and now works at COS and it has opened up my eyes for COS. My son is also becoming a fashon designer. I have never really found cloths I like 100%, so I have always changed them a bit and it has irritated me, now I have two at home that can saw my cloths and I finally get the fabrics and cuts that I like and that fits me. It is such a luxury. I just had my son make me a pair of trousers and it is my first pair in 50 years that are like butter on my body.
The team is great really, but I'm always so happy to see our Lucy, so sweet and so graceful!
Yes me too! I like the way Trinny talks to Lucy like a friend, and love Lucy’s questions and comments!
SO GLAD LUCY IS BACK!!!!!!!!! 🥳
Great video. I find the designer brands to be ridiculously expensive and not always with the best quality fabrics. It’s difficult to justify the amount of money especially when the fit is towards models with a straighter thinner height body type. Very few offer petite sizing. Thanks for your series, Trinny. Learning tricks, always. ❤
Very surprising which turned out best. Lovely to see Lucy back x
Maison Rabih jeans are sensational! Much prefer Zara pink jumper. Those Alex Perry pants are just weird, you usually look so good in pants. Loved having Lucy back. Xx
So happy to see Lucy back! Love Molly, also!
Lucy is a lovely girl. I do think that full length trousers are more flattering on you, Trinny- they just create an aesthetic of balance between torso and leg length. The fit of the yellow designer trousers were definitely not great so I understand why you don’t wear them very often. I think with dupes, it usually comes down to the cut and the fabric so one just has to search that little bit harder for those in high street stores but when you do find the odd piece that does,it’s a quite a thrill !
I do love these videos… Trinny, please film in landscape, I watch on my tv and it feels like I’m spying through a box!
I prefer the yellow ASOS suit on you Trinny. Xx
I absolutely loved this. The last outfit was immediately apparent that the trousers were not the same quality as the jacket.
It sounds as if the pink beckham jumper will never feel really comfortable, if it feels so sratchy on your skin. I cut off jumpers often enough, but if they scratch I just don‘t wear them.
Cant wait for the next one ‘ageless cool’💖your videos are awesome and informative Trinny!💜
Thank you so much ladies. Loved it as always. Nice to see you too Lucy. Have a great weekend x
Yes! Do a video on aging clothes! Then rework them like you do to make them "timeless!"
I would put a stitch in the lapel of the asos silver sequin jacket ,just one underneath the lapel so you can't see it so it sits better ,doesn't flop . Love seeing the dupes and the more high end 💙
Yes, I do this all the time, it makes a huge difference🙂
I’ve loved puff sleeves ever since watching Anne of Green Gables as a child 😂
And cut that VB jumper, make it work for you!
Loved this! Also looking forward to the 'age less cool'-video, for I'm really noticing that in my early fourties not all my old tricks and things I see in fashion work anymore. Still love to look fresh and cool 🙋🏼♀️
"Ageless cool" - can't wait!
Love Closet Confessions. Can you do one for us plus 55's who live near the warm beach but don't want to live in a bathing costume or show lumpy legs. Keep up thr great work!
Throughly enjoyed this video, thanks!❤
Sooooo WONDERFUL to have Lucy back!!!!!!!!
Such a great video, so much to consider. Watching Trinny in the morning here in Miami, is like having an extra shot of expresso! Trinny carries an exuberance for style that is infectious, and I love all of her products, hoping that some of her energy rubs off on me! I will be shopping this weekend on her website, mostly for me!
This video made me think about the duplicates in my closet and gave some great tips! Thank you, Trinny! You are a genius!
Really great, informative video. Would love to see more on this theme. Thank you, Trinny!
One question and two suggestions!
Q: How the heck do you keep makeup off your high polo collars, like the Beckham jumper?
Idea 1: The fuchsia Beckham jumper is much too good to slash or toss! If you have an expert knitter in your life, or an elegant yarn store with instructors, please ask if they'd be willing to make you a steek at the sides to create slits at the hem. Steeks are an old technique used to finish vertical necklines and armholes in Norwegian sweaters. That knitter could even use a contrasting color yarn to pickup the edge stitches and knit a tidy narrow band of color around the slits, hem, sleeve hems and maybe collar. In softer yarn than the sweater is now.
Idea 2: The yellow trousers of the expensive suit would benefit tremendously from a lining, which wouldn't be very difficult to add. If lined, these trousers would hold their shape better, feel nice on, conceal tucked shirts, and more. An alteration would help, too. It's gorgeous jacket in a special color; it would be a pity to let the suit go just because the pants weren't just right.
Thanks, I didn’t know about steeks, I know little about knitwear🙂
I love how this gives me the confidence to wear the similar pieces I own!
Frigging FABULOUS as always Trinny :)
Ageless Cool, I'm so excited! I teach high school (year 12) and there's such a fine line between cool and confident and looking like I'm trying to wear my daughter's clothes. I'd especially like casual ideas! Great video, thanks Trinny!
Great video!! Trinny has inspired me to go through all of my pants to see if they fit properly. It is hard buying pants online since the sizing is so different from brand to brand, whether it is from a designer brand or from a more affordable brand. 🥰🛍️💛
I prefer the Zara jeans too! Live that crazy Kardashian t-shirt! That was money well spent just because you have washed it so many times! Those Australian yellow suit pants are a scandal! Such a great blazer. Like two different companies! Maddening! The Victoria Beckham sweater would be lovely on a twig with long legs in leggings only! Sell it or give it to your favorite giraffe! ❤
@CountieLt25 It would be interesting to ask Australian designer, Alex Perry about the cut of their women's suit pants. (Did Trinny say her yellow set was approx six years old?). I wondered whether the Alex Perry label fits to a model with wider hips. I'm thinking of a Miranda Kerr type body shape - very slim, but with some curve. Trinny looks to have a slim hipped body shape. Just a noodle thought 💭 ......
Loved this comparison video & cannot wait for ageless cool next time!!
That was so much fun to watch ❤
Great episode!!!!
Ageless Cool is a great idea, looking forward to it.
Ageless cool !!!!!!! I can't wait!
EXCELLENT! Only one with such a, "broad range", wardrobe could make such comparisons! Second to you episodes with, the lovely, Azucena, this was my favorite! Brava! Hope to see more...
Thank you for your tips!... Love the yellow suit color on you. 🥰
so interesting to see which one was designer! extra fun one trinny
Am looking forward to The Ageless Cool.
With the Australian yellow suit…the fabric in the pant even looks a bit lighter than the jacket. I much prefer the other yellow suit. Thanks Trinny x
@Rebecca Haley I noticed that too. Could be because the yellow jacket is fully lined - and the pant not.
Another interesting & informative piece! Trinny could wear a bin bag & still look fabulous 👌!
Always fun to watch 👍
i instantly love anything that is embellished white. anything. love that blouse! and I love blazers.
Beautiful pieces. ❤
Really enjoyed that. Innate sense of style plus bucket load of insight.
I literally gasped when she walked out in the fancier yellow suit!
Clicked do fast on this. Exciting!
Are you sure about chiffon Trinny? For us bigger girls it can be a life saver as it's a sheerer way to layer. I tend to wear chiffon shirts over vest tops with maybe a more fitted blazer on top. Then it's not such a heavy blocky way of wearing shirts. Would love your opinion on this as I am now wondering if I just look old!
Another fantastic video, thank you! I do love the Maison Rabih jeans, I find sometimes the “copy”, albeit very similar, lacks certain details. Maybe this is also just an excuse to justify the price 😊. Very much looking forward to the next closet confession 😘
I like everything. Preference belongs to the beholder and wearer. I see all the beautiful nuances. I believe I buy multiples too, maybe to try it out or wait for investment, but the heart always shines. Also, I do tend to look at Zara’s limited collection-there are some real stunners, like this navy asymmetrical dress, etc. And I will find the high-end, mix pieces or do a virtual try-on of the high-end vs others, seeing which one fits better.
Love the video, I don’t have the budget for designer but have picked up a few things on consignment over the years. Looking forward to ageless cool, I have always loved quirky but at my 60 something age, it is walking a tightrope.
Aaaww, we have Lucy back❣️❣️❣️
I just absolutely love fashion! I live in a place where not a ton of people even put themselves together to go out in public. I will always have myself put together because a you never know who you’re gonna meet or run into and B I have been offered a job because I look approachable and well put together. You don’t have to go all out, you can put on a pair of jeans with a graphic or plain T-shirt with a blazer some hoop earrings or whatever earring you prefer. I had some cute sneakers or boots and you look put together but you’re only wearing jeans and a T-shirt. I do a lot of thrift clothes shopping but I look for pieces that will last me not cheapie items such as flannels and sweatshirts. I love to look in the men’s section for vintage blazers and in the women’s four vintage button-down shirts because they have this Flowy texture to them or really incredible patterns. I have also found the best jewelry at Goodwill and Salvation Army. Broaches I love to add them to my Braves or lapel of my blazer, I’ve even taken earrings and put them on my hats and blazers. you have to think outside the box when it comes to fashion. You cannot just stay super close minded or buy some thing that is right next to another item because they look like they go together when you are in a store. Unless it is a suit because for instance your yellow suit that would be so hard to find either the top or bottom in a totally different store Unless you’re going for a pattern
Prefer Zara jeans and top x
With the exception of the cream blazer, I prefer the high standard version every time! Interesting xxx
I love your tips on dressing for older women but still look cool :).
Trinny you’d look great in a bin bag. So elegant beautiful- love your vids! Xx
I'm 5 ft 3 and most sleeves are short on me, but I do have long arms. Expensive yellow suit still looks good. I have shorter torso, longer legs. Loved the sequin tops. Over long sleeves look good, make a thumb hole! I completely agree about chiffon. It just looks cheap as you get older, even silk chiffon. Love the idea of ageless cool. My look is natural soft colours, neutrals, tapes, silver and soft blues. Also I shopped the brunello cuccinello looks I loved for high street prices. Never been happier or more comfortable in my clothes and will soon be 67.
i miss Lucy! welcome back to Closet Confessions!
Amazing video!! Very interesting. Can’t wait for the ageless cool video❤from Australia
Great!! Thank you so very much for your informative videos!
Even though I was a risk taker with my fashion in my youth, at 57 now I definitely have to curate
Everything. Looking forward to next confession.
Trying to locate the COS black trousers. Could you please provide more specific information on them? Thanks You look fabulous. I've recently started following you & I love your style.
The neon yellow suit is gorgeous colour on you.
I would love to see you doing dupe with &Other Stories pieces… I was there another day… and they have so many beautiful dresses… so your style✨
I'm 5'4" and I have real trouble with length of trousers and sleeves on the high street. Nearly always too long. And sometimes petite will be perfect, but often half an inch too short. I don't mind hemming something that otherwise fits really well, but actually most trousers don't even do that because of dealing with a menopausal tummy, even though I'm slim-ish. Find it frustrating. And then there's the hunt for things that are not frumpy but not for someone who's in their 20s!!! Wish the high street would do better because designer is not possible for most of us.
I have all the same issues. Having worked high street retail I can tell you this all for 5’6-7” with the idea that shorter will alter but taller can’t make longer.
Yes I’m 5’6” and most things hit me, pants/sleeves usually hit me correct. And my mom who’s a bit shorter don’t, so I agree.
I buy vintage and pre-loved. And I try avoid the fast fashion brands, even second hand. Although I know it is always difficult to tell where an item is made and by whom
I would change those black buttons on the ASOS yellow suit to silver. Love the Alex Perry suit jacket.
EEEEKKKK, Lucy's back!
Wish I had a sequin-friendly social life🤣 A closet confessions I would love is how to do rainwear chicly. Where have all the rainciats gone? I am tall and mannish and beige. Look awful in puffy coats and practical hiker-ish jackets in sludgy colours.
Have you tried Protected Species for stylish rainwear that is actually waterproof. I love their Commuter coat.
@@fionapaterson8630 Ooh will look now, thank you.
Yessss! Ageless cool please! And pretty please, other body shapes. I'm almost the total opposite of Trinny, short and overweight and I would love to get tips for my body shape. I wait eagerly. Thank you Trinny!
I would love so see you in your Prada shoes Trinny .
By the way as a hopelessly white alabaster skin about to be 60? Every tine I wear a metallic scarf near my face I get compliments!! Thanks Trinny!
Yay! Hi Lucy!!
Love lucy❤
I liked the yellow 💛 outfit
Ageless cool can't wait. I often leave the house wondering if I look cool or like an idiot. Hard to tell these days 🙄
And if only the High St catered for 5 foot 3 ish folks. I’m just under that by half an inch and everything is always way too long on me, sleeves, legs and waist. And I have a long waist.
I would wear a lightweight cotton skivvy under that pink scratchy jumper to solve the itchiness. Also you could line the yellow pants that would stop the see through effect and make them hang better.
Miss Gemima but also love Lucy 💖
Honestly, the first Zara jeans look better on you than the more expensive ones... I mean they look absolutely amazing on you
Ageless cool. Can’t wait.
Where are the jeans from you wore with the pink sweater and the sequin top!? I LOVE those jeans!
There is something about an oversized acrylic jumper. They are just cozy and comfy to wear. H&M does really great ones. The main issue I have is that they pill instantly.
Hey Trinny - can you do a feature on your platform shoes?! Love the ones you are wearing - where are they from?
The thing about the Alex Perry trousers is that they look brilliant from the front, so don’t Chuck them! X
Don't you find when you wear sequins they fall off all over the place? I have tried high end and low end and have the same problem.
Yes yes yes to the chiffon.. never got it! Also its pretty unstructured...
Please get Esuzzanah to give us a tutorial on safely altering knitwear!
Ageless cool YES I can’t wait….
Hi Trinny and Lucy. I'm addicted to you Closet Confessions. I would love you to do one on "Rocker Chic".
I can't wear chiffon... feels like I'm wearing stocking fabric. It's hot making and I prefer more natural fabrics. I prefer the Zara jeans... wish I could get them here. Thanks for posting.
Great closet confessions ❤
Yellow Aussi suit with yellow cashmere skirt?
The Zara pink jumper is so much better. Quite a surprise because I normally like Victoria Beckham. The slight, comfy look and the colour were so much more flattering.
Chiffon when over 50 - I immediately think Barbara Cartland 😱😂
Can't wait ,I'm 70
