I try to focus on how clothes make me feel vs what they look like when I buy them. I think it's really helped me to not over consume with clothes as much as I used to.
So true. 💯 I try to be very mindful of this as well. An item can be visually attractive to us in so many ways when we see it on a hanger or another person, but none of that matters if it doesn’t feel right when we imagine ourselves wearing it or physically try it on.
Totally agree about the idea of “timeless” items not being really timeless. There are always articles about the timeless basics everyone needs. The problem is that the latest cut, length, collar shape, etc change, and then the timeless pieces can look dated.
@@justbecause9049 I totally agree, they design the way they do for that very reason! I have even heard one influencer directly tell her audience not to wear the leopard print blouse they might already have in their closet, they must go out and purchase something new or they will look old!
I know due to ultra fast trends, it's messing up the ability to find trend-immune or timeless clothing. There is men's clothing but even men's clothes have a few trends thrust on them every couple years nowadays too 😂 maybe it's just a little slower and less extreme in men's clothes.
i get what you’re saying but, speaking from a male perspective ofc, if you think a paint of straight cut chinos goes out of style i think it’s a matter of maturity. Oversized “giant” fit and skinny are the two extremes that get tossed back and forth.
I think those articles are misleading people, because they don't focus on the cut and simply state that for example a black blazer is a timeless piece, but whether it's timeless or not really depends on the cut. Timeless are always very simple and basic, regular length, regular classic fit (not oversized, but not tight either), no interesting details standing out. I have a blazer like this I bought around 8 years ago (dark charcoal grey rather than black) and it's timeless. It wasn't trendy back then and it's not trendy now, but a classic like this isn't outdated.
Not to be all sentimental, but my grandma always made animal prints look elgant, even when it was most out of style. I think she was a really good judge of cuts and fabric materials that looked good on her, and because of that she always came across looking elegant.
Halloween lights!? Wow I live in Finland, so I've never even heard of that concept, I heard Americans decorate with lights for winter but I haven't heard of the same for Halloween, that's sounds so cool!
@@michael-helenI never knew that Europeans don’t really do Halloween until I met a German guy at my church. He was fascinated by Halloween yard decor, especially the Home Depot 12-foot skeleton 😂
@@Becky0494 haha I would be too, a 12 feet tall skeleton?! We don't really do Halloween but us Finnish people celebrate Easter in a similar way, though we give out chocolate eggs and dress up as witches or cats!
The gold button trend is the easiest to follow, just go to the craft store and replace the buttons on the sweater/cardigan you already own or thrifted. It's like 2 dollars for a package of buttons (if you ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE IT ANYWAY). I already have a plaid sweater with gold buttons on it since it's my style.
@@jellogirl2010 exactly. I never wear gold buttons so I won't do that but that is a great idea. Also leather dye is cheap. A worn out brown bag or scuffed shoes can be made wine color easily.
@@marykuettner752 Oh yes! You can dye anything wine colored too. The possibilities are endless, and you wind up spending a few dollars and your wardrobe looks new.
As someone with a boring work uniform, you got me excited when you mentioned fall colored nail polish and eyeshadow 😍 I was going to paint my nails today, thanks for the idea
I feel like denim on denim gets mentioned almost every spring and fall for the last 5 years as if it’s something new. If you’re a denim person, you probably always have worn denim on denim matching and not matching.
I'll be honest as a guy, I wear the same few clothes for years. That said, fall 🍂 is my favorite season and I have the biggest repertoire to choose from😅
I scored a leopard print coat about 6 years ago when someone left one at my house party and never reclaimed it. It's literally my favorite piece that I own. It's a solid jacket, just old (probably from the 80s), and it's gotten some holes in the pockets and lining that need repairing. I'm not worried about the temptation of buying new leopard items because I will continue to wear that thing long after it's out of style again, just like it was when I found it 😂
I found a cute leopard print fur coat in a charity shop years ago for €10 and it's one of my best finds! My only problem with it is it's cropped so not very practical for the weather.
I would love a video deinfluencing blind boxes/bags/etc. They seem to produce so much plastic waste packaging, plus it doesn't seem like a satisfying purchase if you don't know what you're getting.
Yesss I keep seeing people opening packets of tiny plastic lucky dip 'collectables' (Disney Doorables etc) and they suck me in. I'm not even a Disney or tiny plastic 'collectable' figure type of person and I catch myself like '.. maybe I if I i see them I'll get a pack'.
i think this topic ties in with the same feelings of gambling, but you’re always getting something tangible when purchasing, so it’s not *technically* (by law) gambling.
They are, they are absolutely awful. When I was like 16 I bought a T-shirt in a chain store and it still looks alright now - at 22, with regular use. Obviously wouldn't wear it out after 6 years, but it's still in one piece and doesn't look like I pulled it out of trash. Nowadays, I feel like if I wanted to keep a t-shirt for 6 years, I'd need to keep it under glass or something
I recently bought a T-shirt at h&m because I liked the design but despite being 100% cotton (I don’t buy synth fiver) it’s really flimsy and almost see through. I also know the print will be off in a few years, it’s literally insane.
@@martajaga1286 It's worse than you think. I have clothes I bought 15 years ago that still look fine and can be worn outside. Clothes I bought last year are mostly garbage now.
Leopard print is definitely timeless to me, I've owned leopard print pieces years before this resurgence. I love how it ties in with my mostly black wardrobe, an all black outfit with one leopard piece and gold eyeshadow?! Peak style.
Absolutely this !! I just pulled out my winter clothes from storage. As a pretty freshly baked adult I feel like this is my first time being able to carry over a wardrobe from a past year. Understanding my personal style means that my clothes don't become un-trendy anymore! Glad to see a video like this as an extra reminder 🫶🏽 (Edit) i thought this group would appreciate my shopping rules I made to address my clothing over consumption now that I am out of my no-buy rule :) 1. Do I have at least 3 outfits i can make with this item? 2. Is it quality and long lasting material? 3. Is this personal style or an influenced item? 4. Have I tried and liked this cut on me? If so, is this a repeat purchase? 5. Can I afford this item? Not BUY, afford. 6. Do I have a history of feeling like I was missing an item like this from my wardrobe?
to relieve some of the fear around it, this advice is particularly for metal claw clips - I've smashed plenty of cheap plastic ones just by leaning back too enthusiastically 😂 but metal ones - yikes!
I'm wearing pieces I'm not very fond of and storing then ones I love. Hopefully at the end of the year they end wore out. I'm still not in the need of new clothes, isn't crazy how easy clothes create clutter?
I will wear my comfy clothes until they look faded or misshapen, they then become pyjamas until they're falling apart and finally I cut them up to use as cleaning cloths 😅 I like to get my moneys worth 😂
I have plenty of things in leopard print. A couple of blouses, a dress, a scarf, and a pair of pumps(shoes). I 100% do not need to buy any other leopard print items. I know how to style the ones I own because they are classics.
I bought a very nice burgundy bag 2 years ago, I use it from September to April and switch to a belt bag for summer. I feel like these colors are « trendy » every fall/winter. Also, I know which colors I like to wear and stick to these (black, grey, army green and burgundy mostly), everytime I get something out of my comfort zone I end up not wearing it. Leopard print is timeless to me, I agree that the problem is not the print, it’s the style of clothes. A cute little scarf, a beanie, socks to add a little pop to an outfit is timeless. I’m more on the alternative style maybe that’s why I love it so much.
Same. I wear black all year, and I just throw on the turtle neck and nun skirt when the weather goes cold. I may look like Professor Snape but ya know what I like it.
I like the glasses! I went to the thrift store today and only got things from my list of needs, stayed well within budget. I absolutely love what I got and will get a ton of wear out of it. I lost 100lbs and am around my goal weight - so I do need some new (to me) items this fall/winter season. Your channel has helped me be way more mindful despite practicing minimalism for over a decade, you are a breath of fresh air and I never realize how much I'm influenced until your deinfluencing videos! :) Thanks
Congrats!! I’ll be trying to lose some weight myself. It’s kind of gotten out of hand for me the last couple of years. The reason I kept buying new clothes every 6 months is because I kept going up and up in waist size. So, no old clothes would fit me properly. I’m sick of it. Enough is enough.
These videos are making us rethink our spending habits and how to think out of the box about trends and create more lasting styles for us vs latest trends!
Thanks for making this video! I'm JUST getting back into fashion after honestly giving up on it for probably the past 10 years. I gave up when I was in college walking around in the Florida heat all day. Then I worked in an office and had specific things to wear, and went for sweats and oversized tops at home. Then I gained weight after COVID, and just never bought bigger clothes because I didn't want to admit the "defeat". Now I'm finally purging my closet, and I've realized I have no idea what my style even is. Social media, UA-cam, and SHEIN ads have been overwhelming. This was really helpful, thank you!
This trendy colours thing is so mysterious to me, and frankly annoying - I've always loved and worn butter yellow (the "stick of butter" trend) and red ("pops of red"), but now it's like, oh that's so 2020/2024?? No, thank you. At least millennial pink lasted at least a good five years, but I feel like the colour trends are getting faster and faster, like all the other trends I suppose. Does anyone else feel this way? Why is this so annoying??
Why do you care about the "trends" ? Just wear what YOU like when you want, where you want, how you want, even White after labor day, what's the worst that could happen? you get struck by lightning ⚡😂 that's just a bonus, at least for the rest of us 😂😂😂😂
I guess the good thing is that there are only so many colors so the faster the cycle goes the quicker “older” colors go back in fashion lol. People are dumb and won’t wait and just buy new things though
Yes, it’s definitely annoying for me too! The colors that actually flatter me are rarely on trend but l will keep wearing them despite what’s popular that year. Speaking as a visual designer, every color is lovely, especially if it suits you! Color trends are just an opportunity to buy more of that color that was manufactured for a limited time. Who cares what anyone else thinks! Wear what you know makes you happy and feeling good! ❤
One note about the “gold buttons” trend- I think very basic sewing skills are a great skill set to have here! It’s super easy to attach new buttons to a piece of clothing if that’s an aesthetic that you’re really going for :)
Then there’s me… I wear black for all season. Same 3 black cardigans/sweaters, a light weight, a medium, and a heavy that are coming up to a decade old. And two pairs of black boots I alternate.. rain boots and hella old passed down docs. I’m boring AF, but I love it. I wouldn’t say I’m a hardcore “goth”, I just love black. I love these videos, but the seasonal trends, and trend ones in general make me smile because I’m not a trend person 🖤 also I’m lazy and this is one less thing for me to decide on and worry about 💀
My favorite piece of clothing I own is my blue corduroy jacket that I found at the thrift store for like $7. It gets so many compliments and it was such a golden thrift store find.
I have to admit, I have been buying a lot of burgundy items lately (ebay and Vinted, so all second hand/vintage) but only because I've really struggled in the past finding things in this hue - I've always loved the colour on me. I will certainly be bringing out my leopard print as I'm a long time lover and wearer of leopard print - coats and bags especially as they're from the 50s and 60s so actually are timeless! Most of these microtrends are not 'me' so I'll never buy into them anyway but I am glad to see burgundy/wine having a moment so I can add a few things to my capsule wardrobe without feeling guilty lol.
I think this is the best part of colours cycling through faster - more opportunities to find things you actually love and want to wear. I’m an olive girlie and so happy that the fabric shops will carry more olive toned fabrics (I don’t like to shop, but love to sew for myself) ❤
On suede-- Scotch guard that shit! Once every year or two or three. Your boots and jackets and purses. I've had a pair of sueded booties from Old Navy, so of course affordable and not real Moo, for maybe 7 years now that I wear in the mud and snow, that are practically pristine. You can't wear shoes every day because they need a break to breathe if you want them to survive, but I wear them multiple times a week all fall and winter. Scotch Guard.
I am so proud of our family. For back to school this year, we did a use what you have first. I have 4 children & 2 grandchildren. Two are in school. My children used 95% of what we had for back to school. The clothes I did purchase, came from summer yard sales. I only had to buy 1 pair of school sneakers and they were purchased because my child used their birthday money to buy them. Their old shoes were ripped and they grew a size. It was a wonderful experience to use what we had this school year. I grew up poor, so I’m working threw how this has negatively impacted my shopping purchases.
These trends always come back around if you're willing to hold onto items long enough. I have leopard, tiger, and zebra A-line faux fur coat.. all from the 60s. They were wearing animal prints all throughout history it's just a matter of buying a quality piece that you're willing to hold on to.
I work at Anthropologie, so we’re very much encouraged to lean into trends and there’s leopard print up the wazoo in our store rn. I think it’s cute *for now* but I know won’t like it long term, so I just got a set of two elastic headbands, one of them being leopard print, so I can accessorize on trend but also wear it more often in the future bc it’s a nice little pop of print that won’t ever really go “out of style” (wear what you want!) in the way that the pants will 🤗🫡
I’m so glad you brought up the leopard print bc I really don’t feel like it is timeless, and was conflicted on leopard pants! So glad you said something bc I will for sure not investing in this trend. Thank you. Also, you made me excited to use my own current nail polish 💅🏽 fall stash.
I've learned to put quality over quantity when it comes to clothes. So when i buy clothes i usually buy one or two nicer quality items instead of a bunch of cheaper items. I wear them more and appreciate them more!
I already have many things in these colours. Also, burned orange, dark teal and so on… I’m all set when it comes to fall fashion. Pretty much the only thing I don’t own are square toe boots. Everyone is insistent on wearing square-toe footwear which I consider atrocious and will not be buying.
I'm the reverse. I hate it when pointy toe shoes are in style. First off - everyone looks like their feet should be sticking out from under Dorothy's house. And second, I have wide little hobbit feet and therei s no pointy toed shoe they will fit in.
Great video!! I too use trends to shop my wardrobe. I also love how they always say that animal print is a “trend” for fall…hello! It’s a classic people 😆
The way I try a new/trendy color or pattern (like animal print) is a hair accessory like a scrunchy or headband. Less expensive and easy to see if it works with my existing wardrobe and style. It’s how I learned that I hate wearing animal print and it’s not my personal style 😂
I’m so happy I found this video and your channel. It’s exactly what I needed right now. It’s exactly what a world drowning in discarded fast fashion needs right now. Thank you for what you do🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You look great today. Fall only lasts like 3 days in Alabama so very rarely buy Fall clothing and very little Winter fashion. Most of my wardrobe is Summer clothing.
I also hate wearing a clawclip when i am driving. But have to keep my hair up at work. I have been not using hairties much lately bc they make my hair break so much
Not to influence you to buy, but there's a style called a "yoga clip" that lies flatter against the head. I personally couldn't use mine because it didn't hold enough hair, but the idea is good.
I love scrunchies for this reason! They can grab the hair just as tightly but with less bending and breaking and they're easier to adjust and remove as well.
It’s been so funny listening to this year’s autumn trends. My wardrobe is full of burgundy, green and leopard. My favourite bag, boots and wool coat are all burgundy. Rather than adding in trendy items I’m hoping it means I can easily replace some of my worn out items that I love. Items I know I will continue to wear for years.
I'm old enough to have at least one or two items in my closet that happen to be trending at any given time (I wear a hard to find size, so I buy whatever I can find that fits well and suits my personal style, then hold onto most of it until it's too worn to mend). So, there are always a few things that I really look forward to wearing each season. This time it's my 1990s suede shirt jacket and my 2010s leopard print ankle boots.
I have summer wardrobe and fall/winter wardrobe, I put the out of season stuff away in boxes so when the new season comes, I'm all excited to wear those things again as if they were new. No need to buy actual new clothes 😀 Ps. You look great in those glasses. I also switched to thick dark ones recently and had huge doubts at first but I love them now. I think the contrast makes my face look younger.
Leopard print is timeless, at least I think so. But you are right I never got rid of my basic pieces. And just actually that coat you are wearing was also a 1950's trend and 1980s trend. Just goes to show it all comes back which is what makes thrifting such a great way to shop:-)
I've discovered this year (I'm 30 btw) that people uses colours depending of the season they currently are. Like... Why are you guys doing that? It's for the change of lighting, or...? I like blue. All blues, from baby/paatel, to cyan and cerulean to royal and navy. And I use it all year long. Same with true red. I always thought winter is enough dark and cold by itself, the last thing we need is using just black (or grey and brown if you're "daring") to cover us head to hoe lol
I’ve been focussing on getting items that fit my body and make me feel and look good. Some necklines just do not look good on me so I’m being more particular about items and going out of my way to go in store to try things on. I’ve slowly been getting things that I really love on me.
Ok… I agree. When leopard print is “out”, it looks really outdated; therefore, in my view, it’s not timeless. I’m here for colour - my wardrobe has lots of it! But, I never chose my colours based on the trends. They are jewel tones that make me smile all year: mustard yellow, forest green, fuchsia, cobalt, rust, etc.
Two years ago i decided to sit down with a capsule wardrobe planner\workbook and ive just been buying to fill the plan. Olive green and yellow and cottagecore print is my spring. Gem tone purple and red and moody wallpaper is my fall. Its so nice to feel the urge to shop, pulling out the planner and saying " oh, i could use a green cardigan... But not a million purses." Also i do have leopard in my fall wardrobe, one dress and one tank top lol. People are always claiming its a basic but girl why does it take no prisoners in every other of my seasons lmao!
Dear Shawna, I'd like to say 2 things: 1) I thoroughly enjoy your thought through and well balanced videos and how much effort you put into them. 2) I adore your outfit. The colors, patterns, jewelry and nails is just *chefs kiss* 👌
Such a fun channel! I love to see people commenting on how to do a trend without spend, and also on talk about trends that are not wearable for most people.
You are stunning honey! 😍❤️ I love my old leather jacket. It’s so beat up and even better for it. 😄💕 I think nailpolish/lipstick/eyeshadow is such an easy way to incoorporate fall colors without getting new clothes. 😊
I'm so glad you mentioned the washing instructions/maintenance of pieces! When I thrift or even buy new, I always check the tag for washing instructions and materials. Jackets and formal dresses are the only things I'll dry clean because I love them so much and am dedicated to them 4 life once they're in my closet. It's also a great deterrent against impulsive shopping. If a going out top says dry clean only, miss me with that
Seeing denim on denim as a trend is kind of funny to me because it's already part of my core style! Also you're right it's SO easy to thrift denim. Last year I thrifted a super flattering, dark-wash Ralph Lauren jean jacket and I love that thing so much. Personally I like to mix and match washes when I wear double denim, ex. that jacket I mentioned with light wash jeans, or dark wash jeans with a lighter jacket or chambray shirt. Add your favorite tee or sweater and you're good to go. It'll always be a classic to me!
Your glasses set the fall vibe for me 😮LOL I have a leopard print fleece pullover (few years old) that has been a statement piece for me, family & friends always expect me to wear it fall season. So we can keep some items to wear year after year and I have learned to keep it simple helps to find staple items despite the colors or trends. I wear lots of cardigans may consider changing buttons on them first find the right cardigan then buttons to update what I already have . Thanks for todays video on fall trends
I have two accessories in leopard print...a silk scarf and an umbrella...I generally only have solids for pants and tops and I think the print in a scarf is "just enough". I will be right on trend with the olive, burgundy, caramel, brown, and gray pieces I already own. I do have quite a few cargo style pants, and two pairs I really love for fall in lightweight wool....I don't know if those are still on trend again, but regardless, they will always be part of my personal style.
I have all these colors in my wardrobe already. This is good, because as I’ve mentioned under other videos, I’m on a no-buy for a school assignment in my addictions therapy class. So far, so good, and I really need to stick with it. Had surgery in July and bills will be tight through the end of the year. 🥴 Pray for me. 🙏 😂
As someone who has has built my wardrobe over ten years I always stick to what I love and will wear seasonally not trend focused. I've got a leopard print coat/tops I thrifted years ago and haven't worn in a while and have recently brought them out of my wardrobe and worn them again. I wear mainly black and integrate coloured items with my black items for a pop of colour. I find a lot of items on vinted when I want to find something classic and timeless.
I’m with you on the faux further and leather. I told myself that I will not buy either because they don’t last. Not just as jackets, but as any piece with either material. Then I found myself in Marshall’s with a jacket with both materials combined- the very thing I said I wasn’t going to do, but because of the brand and price I got caught up. Didn’t get it and I’m glad. I love leopard print and camo print so I wear that all year round for most seasons 😊
Another thing to consider with chunky hair accessories is ypur hair texture. Big, heavy hair clips look incredible on thick, strong hair. If your hair is light and fine, though, it's going to get dragged down like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree (not to mention basically disappearing inside the accessory).
I have a burgundy pieces that i was thinking on bringing out for this season, and it got me excited that it conincide with this season's trends, especially that i like jewel earthy tones. im really just hoping the peacoats will be back in trend since my good old peacoat had to retire, it was very loved and served me well.
Loooooooved this! I think it’s so important to really think about if a trend is useful and practical for you. I do love waiting a few months and then likely it’s at the thrift! I really appreciate you making this content!!
Personally I love leopard print accessories, so I’m getting a few pieces this time around. I still have most of mine from the 90’s and mid-2000’s. I have a 50’s-ish thing going on so it works for me. I know I’ll be wearing it for years because I never stopped! It doesn’t work on everyone, and it doesn’t match everyone’s vibe but it works for me. Burgundy and deep reds will always be in my rotation, as they look great with my coloring. If I find something I like I might pick some up. Figuring out my season really helped me zero in on what I’m willing to buy. Blue based reds fit right in with my deep Autumn palette, and look great with black. Most of these though I’ll end up skipping. I know they aren’t for me, and I’m not into the slouchy or over sized look, so my money is staying put. I like fitted silhouettes on me. I have one coat I love, but want a second coat to choose from so I’ll continue to wear that and continue saving up to have a different one that also matches my aesthetic made. The chunky jewelry is certainly a no for me. I like it on others sometimes but it doesn’t look right on me. Same with double denim. Not for me. I wasn’t into it last time and that hasn’t changed. Hope everyone who loves it enjoys it!
I love leopard print but not on my clothes. My favorite phone case is leopard print which I’m using right now and I always bring out for fall/winter each year. I also have a laptop case in leopard and it gives my very boring desk a nice touch 😊 when it comes to fall/winter it will always be darker colors and variations of shades so you really can’t go wrong with whatever you already have in your closet
I find it funny that I have just 10 band t-shirts and a couple of pants and just exist with it since the last 5 years with the occasional thrift when needed. Seeing how much people usually buy constantly feels mindbogling
Loved your breakdown of these trends and the considerations you mentioned for each of them. I actually mentioned something similar in my comment on your fall trend predictions video when it comes to colors. I love bright colors and wear them all the time, but in the past I was often enticed by the color and ignored other aspects of the item that don't work for my style, which resulted in me decluttering the item eventually. I only have two green items left in my wardrobe, not because I don't like green, but because I didn't like the silhouettes of the green items I did own. Most of my wardrobe is red/burgundy, magenta/berry, and cobalt blue/navy. I feel like those are evergreen shades. You can buy them pretty much anytime in a lot of different styles. In contrast, a lot of other shade have one "trendy"/seasonal variation that isn't always to my taste. Or if I like the color it might be combined with a trendy silhouette I don't care for. I notice that especially with green and purple. Some shades are more seasonal, I have more yellow, light blue, and turquoise in my summer wardrobe and a couple of orange pieces in my fall/winter wardrobe. I would also wear a bright turquoise or yellow sweater, but that's an uncommon color choice for the fall/winter season.
I'm so happy that greens are in right now...olive is one of my favorite colors and looks great on me so it's nice to see more of it in stores. I don't like maroon and brown flattens me out because i already have beige coloring and brown hair. But honestly i never see trends out in public that much, in my area i swear to god people wear everything.
For me leopard print is a classic. I've been wearing it for over a decade and already have it in my closet and love it! When it goes off trend I'll still be wearing it! And I don't have to go out and buy any to be on trend because I already own it!
Totally agree, you have an healthy way of thinking clothes. As a very short torso and strong arms women, I'm personally very glad for the cropped trench trend, but you're right, for the most part, it seems that someone have cut them without any thought, leaving the peace with a strange unfinished style, that will be really hard to style in a few years.
I just thrifted a leopard print t shirt. It's good fabric and a good cut and I'd already decided that I kind of like leopard because it's neutral but the pattern adds a bit of interest. I'm happy with that purchase and that is all the animal print I need. I do like classic style and adding a bit of pizzazz into the mix. What I need to do is refrain from purchasing too many thrifted finds that don't go with my style; ie just buying a thing because it's a good find.
I was given a pair of leopard prints flats a few years ago and I’ve got a lot of wear out of them. They’re a smaller component of the overall outfit and therefore not overwhelming, and the style is something I think suits me so I wear them and enjoy them. I also have some earrings (cheap) with a little leopard print and they’re so nice with an otherwise plain outfit. Same with red - I keep it a small component of the outfit and can ‘pull it off’.
I agree with you so much on patterns like leopard print. IT IS DIFFERENT EVERY TIME IT RE-CIRCULATES. I make a rule for myself to only get one or two trendy pieces. I love the clothes I have so I don’t ever need much but I will restyle my things to update them. 😊love your channel. First time commenting. 😊
I agree leopard print is only timeless if you buy classic pieces or basics in that print and you stick to the natural leopard print colours not the pinks and green ect...😂
This video actually helped me a lot!! I'm 19 and obviously I do not have as much experience on the trend cycle but since you are older, you also are more sensitive for fashion that people might like more than one year Btw I love love love to shop the closet of my mom!! Most definitely I will keep all my stuff for my future children :)
I freaking love burgundy clothes; I'm really excited to wear things I already own 🎉 Can confirm the suede thing - my partner and I are LARPers and we really baby our suede and lesther pieces to make sure they last as long as possible. I dont think I'd buy suede for everyday wear.
I worked retail for 14 and nursing for 12 . I am homemaker for past 10 years and it was so freeing to wear jeans and a shirt ,sweaters,hoodies and not scrubs 7 days a week. I am gonna be 54 but now I get to choose what I want to wear.and I can wear makeup,perfume when I did nursing it was frowned so much .
I am one of those people who are OBSSESED with cheetah print. Mainly because of my childhood. I actually got a couple pieces of cheetah print from the thrift in the spring time. One is a mid length skirt which very much fits into what I am comfortable wearing/ wear a lot of anyway. I like storing away my clothes for different seasons, so when I pull them out it feels like a just bought them.
Burgundy for fall? Groundbreaking
Exactly what I was thinking. About almost all of those trends.
Literally. It's peak autumnal colour, next to sunset orange and brown.
right? cosmo was writing about that in the 2000s
And every decade before us. They don’t advertise for any over 25 maybe 30.
Reminds me of the recent latte makeup. Brown makeup!? My god what a innovative idea.
I try to focus on how clothes make me feel vs what they look like when I buy them. I think it's really helped me to not over consume with clothes as much as I used to.
This is a great lil nugget, thanks for sharing
So true. 💯 I try to be very mindful of this as well. An item can be visually attractive to us in so many ways when we see it on a hanger or another person, but none of that matters if it doesn’t feel right when we imagine ourselves wearing it or physically try it on.
Totally agree about the idea of “timeless” items not being really timeless. There are always articles about the timeless basics everyone needs. The problem is that the latest cut, length, collar shape, etc change, and then the timeless pieces can look dated.
That’s how they get us to buy the new classics. It’s all about making more money. Let’s normalize using the clothes that works for us.
@@justbecause9049 I totally agree, they design the way they do for that very reason! I have even heard one influencer directly tell her audience not to wear the leopard print blouse they might already have in their closet, they must go out and purchase something new or they will look old!
I know due to ultra fast trends, it's messing up the ability to find trend-immune or timeless clothing. There is men's clothing but even men's clothes have a few trends thrust on them every couple years nowadays too 😂 maybe it's just a little slower and less extreme in men's clothes.
i get what you’re saying but, speaking from a male perspective ofc, if you think a paint of straight cut chinos goes out of style i think it’s a matter of maturity. Oversized “giant” fit and skinny are the two extremes that get tossed back and forth.
I think those articles are misleading people, because they don't focus on the cut and simply state that for example a black blazer is a timeless piece, but whether it's timeless or not really depends on the cut. Timeless are always very simple and basic, regular length, regular classic fit (not oversized, but not tight either), no interesting details standing out. I have a blazer like this I bought around 8 years ago (dark charcoal grey rather than black) and it's timeless. It wasn't trendy back then and it's not trendy now, but a classic like this isn't outdated.
Not to be all sentimental, but my grandma always made animal prints look elgant, even when it was most out of style. I think she was a really good judge of cuts and fabric materials that looked good on her, and because of that she always came across looking elegant.
Damn, that's how you know someone has found their style. I loved hearing this, thank you so much for sharing ❤️
I love to wear animal prints! But only if they are in a neutral color ^_^
one person in my neighborhood has already put up their halloween lights and im living for it
Better than garish Christmas decorations
We don't have any outdoor decorations because I don't trust people but the inside of our house is starting to get spooky vibes! I love it.
Halloween lights!? Wow I live in Finland, so I've never even heard of that concept, I heard Americans decorate with lights for winter but I haven't heard of the same for Halloween, that's sounds so cool!
@@michael-helenI never knew that Europeans don’t really do Halloween until I met a German guy at my church. He was fascinated by Halloween yard decor, especially the Home Depot 12-foot skeleton 😂
@@Becky0494 haha I would be too, a 12 feet tall skeleton?! We don't really do Halloween but us Finnish people celebrate Easter in a similar way, though we give out chocolate eggs and dress up as witches or cats!
The gold button trend is the easiest to follow, just go to the craft store and replace the buttons on the sweater/cardigan you already own or thrifted. It's like 2 dollars for a package of buttons (if you ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE IT ANYWAY). I already have a plaid sweater with gold buttons on it since it's my style.
@@jellogirl2010 exactly. I never wear gold buttons so I won't do that but that is a great idea. Also leather dye is cheap. A worn out brown bag or scuffed shoes can be made wine color easily.
@@marykuettner752 Oh yes! You can dye anything wine colored too. The possibilities are endless, and you wind up spending a few dollars and your wardrobe looks new.
Olive green and rust are my fave fall colors to wear. Every year it's fun to see if I get to be in style or not 🤣
I love leopard print. My closet is full of it, I treat it as a neutral. And yeah, it comes around every few years.
As someone with a boring work uniform, you got me excited when you mentioned fall colored nail polish and eyeshadow 😍 I was going to paint my nails today, thanks for the idea
I love this so much 💗 I hope you have fun
I’m starting to love being almost 40, all styles come back around. Shopping your closet is awesome. 😊
I feel like denim on denim gets mentioned almost every spring and fall for the last 5 years as if it’s something new. If you’re a denim person, you probably always have worn denim on denim matching and not matching.
I'll be honest as a guy, I wear the same few clothes for years. That said, fall 🍂 is my favorite season and I have the biggest repertoire to choose from😅
Agree that I wear mostly fall colors so this season is my favorite for that reason
So cuuuuuuute
quality over quantity lol
Fall is the best season for styling!!!😎🔥
That’s because styles for men don’t change with the wind like women. It’s maddening trying to keep up
I scored a leopard print coat about 6 years ago when someone left one at my house party and never reclaimed it. It's literally my favorite piece that I own. It's a solid jacket, just old (probably from the 80s), and it's gotten some holes in the pockets and lining that need repairing. I'm not worried about the temptation of buying new leopard items because I will continue to wear that thing long after it's out of style again, just like it was when I found it 😂
I found a cute leopard print fur coat in a charity shop years ago for €10 and it's one of my best finds! My only problem with it is it's cropped so not very practical for the weather.
I found a thigh length leopard print coat at Marshall’s in 2019. It’s still brand new with the tags. I might just bring it out 😆
I would love a video deinfluencing blind boxes/bags/etc. They seem to produce so much plastic waste packaging, plus it doesn't seem like a satisfying purchase if you don't know what you're getting.
Yesss I keep seeing people opening packets of tiny plastic lucky dip 'collectables' (Disney Doorables etc) and they suck me in. I'm not even a Disney or tiny plastic 'collectable' figure type of person and I catch myself like '.. maybe I if I i see them I'll get a pack'.
i think this topic ties in with the same feelings of gambling, but you’re always getting something tangible when purchasing, so it’s not *technically* (by law) gambling.
Honestly I haven’t bought new clothes in a bit and I don’t plan to because I find clothes nowadays are very low quality
They are, they are absolutely awful. When I was like 16 I bought a T-shirt in a chain store and it still looks alright now - at 22, with regular use. Obviously wouldn't wear it out after 6 years, but it's still in one piece and doesn't look like I pulled it out of trash. Nowadays, I feel like if I wanted to keep a t-shirt for 6 years, I'd need to keep it under glass or something
One of the reasons why I stopped enjoying shopping for a long time already. Quality aside, most of the designs aren’t even pretty
I recently bought a T-shirt at h&m because I liked the design but despite being 100% cotton (I don’t buy synth fiver) it’s really flimsy and almost see through. I also know the print will be off in a few years, it’s literally insane.
that’s why i almost exclusively buy second hand vintage clothes
@@martajaga1286 It's worse than you think. I have clothes I bought 15 years ago that still look fine and can be worn outside. Clothes I bought last year are mostly garbage now.
Leopard print is definitely timeless to me, I've owned leopard print pieces years before this resurgence. I love how it ties in with my mostly black wardrobe, an all black outfit with one leopard piece and gold eyeshadow?! Peak style.
Absolutely this !! I just pulled out my winter clothes from storage. As a pretty freshly baked adult I feel like this is my first time being able to carry over a wardrobe from a past year. Understanding my personal style means that my clothes don't become un-trendy anymore! Glad to see a video like this as an extra reminder 🫶🏽
(Edit) i thought this group would appreciate my shopping rules I made to address my clothing over consumption now that I am out of my no-buy rule :)
1. Do I have at least 3 outfits i can make with this item?
2. Is it quality and long lasting material?
3. Is this personal style or an influenced item?
4. Have I tried and liked this cut on me? If so, is this a repeat purchase?
5. Can I afford this item? Not BUY, afford.
6. Do I have a history of feeling like I was missing an item like this from my wardrobe?
Never wear a claw clip when in a car. In the event of a crash it will become imbedded into your skull
😮
thanks! new irrational all-consuming fear unlocked.
to relieve some of the fear around it, this advice is particularly for metal claw clips - I've smashed plenty of cheap plastic ones just by leaning back too enthusiastically 😂 but metal ones - yikes!
The dark glasses look great on you! I really like them
Girl you look so good in that jacket!!
Fall is my TIME. ❤ I have flannels and a green skirt, brown pants. You’re making me want to put outfits together this weekend lol.
This is such a fun weekend activity!
Really off topic: I wore 2 summer tennis dresses to the ground this summer! Can't even donate! Wore them out!! It's so satisfying!🎉😊
I’m weirdly jealous 😂 I was going to declutter my clothes but decided I need to wear them out not declutter and rebuy
I'm wearing pieces I'm not very fond of and storing then ones I love. Hopefully at the end of the year they end wore out. I'm still not in the need of new clothes, isn't crazy how easy clothes create clutter?
Omg YES!!! Wearing out clothing until they’re completely unusable is so satisfying, you feel accomplished 😂
I will wear my comfy clothes until they look faded or misshapen, they then become pyjamas until they're falling apart and finally I cut them up to use as cleaning cloths 😅 I like to get my moneys worth 😂
@@kerensabond9245yep. It’s always hard to make the jump to cut up rags but once I do I don’t think about it anymore.
I have plenty of things in leopard print. A couple of blouses, a dress, a scarf, and a pair of pumps(shoes). I 100% do not need to buy any other leopard print items. I know how to style the ones I own because they are classics.
I bought a very nice burgundy bag 2 years ago, I use it from September to April and switch to a belt bag for summer. I feel like these colors are « trendy » every fall/winter.
Also, I know which colors I like to wear and stick to these (black, grey, army green and burgundy mostly), everytime I get something out of my comfort zone I end up not wearing it.
Leopard print is timeless to me, I agree that the problem is not the print, it’s the style of clothes. A cute little scarf, a beanie, socks to add a little pop to an outfit is timeless. I’m more on the alternative style maybe that’s why I love it so much.
Honestly stuff like this is why I'm glad I have such an eclectic alt style. Makes the mainstream trends look too boring to waste my money on
Same. I wear black all year, and I just throw on the turtle neck and nun skirt when the weather goes cold. I may look like Professor Snape but ya know what I like it.
@@koikoi3808 you chose an iconic role model 🐍 also thank you for reminding me that is almost time for my annual fall tradition of watching hp again :)
I like the glasses!
I went to the thrift store today and only got things from my list of needs, stayed well within budget. I absolutely love what I got and will get a ton of wear out of it. I lost 100lbs and am around my goal weight - so I do need some new (to me) items this fall/winter season. Your channel has helped me be way more mindful despite practicing minimalism for over a decade, you are a breath of fresh air and I never realize how much I'm influenced until your deinfluencing videos! :) Thanks
Congratulations, both things are huge accomplishments ❤
@@CrisOnTheInternet thank you ❤️
Congrats!! I’ll be trying to lose some weight myself. It’s kind of gotten out of hand for me the last couple of years. The reason I kept buying new clothes every 6 months is because I kept going up and up in waist size. So, no old clothes would fit me properly. I’m sick of it. Enough is enough.
These videos are making us rethink our spending habits and how to think out of the box about trends and create more lasting styles for us vs latest trends!
Congrads that's not easy at all I thrift just about everything sounds like you bought some good stuff
Thanks for making this video! I'm JUST getting back into fashion after honestly giving up on it for probably the past 10 years. I gave up when I was in college walking around in the Florida heat all day. Then I worked in an office and had specific things to wear, and went for sweats and oversized tops at home. Then I gained weight after COVID, and just never bought bigger clothes because I didn't want to admit the "defeat". Now I'm finally purging my closet, and I've realized I have no idea what my style even is. Social media, UA-cam, and SHEIN ads have been overwhelming. This was really helpful, thank you!
This trendy colours thing is so mysterious to me, and frankly annoying - I've always loved and worn butter yellow (the "stick of butter" trend) and red ("pops of red"), but now it's like, oh that's so 2020/2024?? No, thank you. At least millennial pink lasted at least a good five years, but I feel like the colour trends are getting faster and faster, like all the other trends I suppose. Does anyone else feel this way? Why is this so annoying??
Why do you care about the "trends" ? Just wear what YOU like when you want, where you want, how you want, even White after labor day, what's the worst that could happen? you get struck by lightning ⚡😂 that's just a bonus, at least for the rest of us 😂😂😂😂
I guess the good thing is that there are only so many colors so the faster the cycle goes the quicker “older” colors go back in fashion lol. People are dumb and won’t wait and just buy new things though
Who cares really. It only increases mental fatigue. If I have got something I will wear it till it tears apart.
Yes, it’s definitely annoying for me too! The colors that actually flatter me are rarely on trend but l will keep wearing them despite what’s popular that year. Speaking as a visual designer, every color is lovely, especially if it suits you! Color trends are just an opportunity to buy more of that color that was manufactured for a limited time. Who cares what anyone else thinks! Wear what you know makes you happy and feeling good! ❤
One note about the “gold buttons” trend- I think very basic sewing skills are a great skill set to have here! It’s super easy to attach new buttons to a piece of clothing if that’s an aesthetic that you’re really going for :)
Then there’s me… I wear black for all season. Same 3 black cardigans/sweaters, a light weight, a medium, and a heavy that are coming up to a decade old. And two pairs of black boots I alternate.. rain boots and hella old passed down docs. I’m boring AF, but I love it. I wouldn’t say I’m a hardcore “goth”, I just love black.
I love these videos, but the seasonal trends, and trend ones in general make me smile because I’m not a trend person 🖤 also I’m lazy and this is one less thing for me to decide on and worry about 💀
Leopard print is always in style when you love bengal cats 😂
My favorite piece of clothing I own is my blue corduroy jacket that I found at the thrift store for like $7. It gets so many compliments and it was such a golden thrift store find.
I have to admit, I have been buying a lot of burgundy items lately (ebay and Vinted, so all second hand/vintage) but only because I've really struggled in the past finding things in this hue - I've always loved the colour on me. I will certainly be bringing out my leopard print as I'm a long time lover and wearer of leopard print - coats and bags especially as they're from the 50s and 60s so actually are timeless! Most of these microtrends are not 'me' so I'll never buy into them anyway but I am glad to see burgundy/wine having a moment so I can add a few things to my capsule wardrobe without feeling guilty lol.
I think this is the best part of colours cycling through faster - more opportunities to find things you actually love and want to wear. I’m an olive girlie and so happy that the fabric shops will carry more olive toned fabrics (I don’t like to shop, but love to sew for myself) ❤
On suede-- Scotch guard that shit! Once every year or two or three. Your boots and jackets and purses. I've had a pair of sueded booties from Old Navy, so of course affordable and not real Moo, for maybe 7 years now that I wear in the mud and snow, that are practically pristine. You can't wear shoes every day because they need a break to breathe if you want them to survive, but I wear them multiple times a week all fall and winter. Scotch Guard.
I am so proud of our family. For back to school this year, we did a use what you have first. I have 4 children & 2 grandchildren. Two are in school. My children used 95% of what we had for back to school. The clothes I did purchase, came from summer yard sales. I only had to buy 1 pair of school sneakers and they were purchased because my child used their birthday money to buy them. Their old shoes were ripped and they grew a size. It was a wonderful experience to use what we had this school year. I grew up poor, so I’m working threw how this has negatively impacted my shopping purchases.
These trends always come back around if you're willing to hold onto items long enough. I have leopard, tiger, and zebra A-line faux fur coat.. all from the 60s. They were wearing animal prints all throughout history it's just a matter of buying a quality piece that you're willing to hold on to.
I work at Anthropologie, so we’re very much encouraged to lean into trends and there’s leopard print up the wazoo in our store rn. I think it’s cute *for now* but I know won’t like it long term, so I just got a set of two elastic headbands, one of them being leopard print, so I can accessorize on trend but also wear it more often in the future bc it’s a nice little pop of print that won’t ever really go “out of style” (wear what you want!) in the way that the pants will 🤗🫡
I’m so glad you brought up the leopard print bc I really don’t feel like it is timeless, and was conflicted on leopard pants! So glad you said something bc I will for sure not investing in this trend. Thank you. Also, you made me excited to use my own current nail polish 💅🏽 fall stash.
I've learned to put quality over quantity when it comes to clothes. So when i buy clothes i usually buy one or two nicer quality items instead of a bunch of cheaper items. I wear them more and appreciate them more!
I already have many things in these colours. Also, burned orange, dark teal and so on… I’m all set when it comes to fall fashion. Pretty much the only thing I don’t own are square toe boots. Everyone is insistent on wearing square-toe footwear which I consider atrocious and will not be buying.
Oh yes, burnt orange or mustard make appearances too and they'll probably have a moment again in an upcoming too 😅
I'm the reverse. I hate it when pointy toe shoes are in style. First off - everyone looks like their feet should be sticking out from under Dorothy's house. And second, I have wide little hobbit feet and therei s no pointy toed shoe they will fit in.
It's till so hot here in my country, I can't even think of warm clothing
Great video!
Was thinking the same! I still have to go on my “summer” vacation 😅😂
Loved this and the cut off trench coat is the absolute WORST.
I don’t even like the full length version… cropped is not an improvement 😂
Great video!! I too use trends to shop my wardrobe. I also love how they always say that animal print is a “trend” for fall…hello! It’s a classic people 😆
It will be over 100° here in Southern California for the next week. Still wearing summer clothes.
The way I try a new/trendy color or pattern (like animal print) is a hair accessory like a scrunchy or headband. Less expensive and easy to see if it works with my existing wardrobe and style. It’s how I learned that I hate wearing animal print and it’s not my personal style 😂
I’m so happy I found this video and your channel. It’s exactly what I needed right now. It’s exactly what a world drowning in discarded fast fashion needs right now. Thank you for what you do🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
For me nothing is timeless in fact, for example a white shirt changes over the time, over sized or more fitted…
You look great today.
Fall only lasts like 3 days in Alabama so very rarely buy Fall clothing and very little Winter fashion. Most of my wardrobe is Summer clothing.
I also hate wearing a clawclip when i am driving. But have to keep my hair up at work. I have been not using hairties much lately bc they make my hair break so much
Not to influence you to buy, but there's a style called a "yoga clip" that lies flatter against the head. I personally couldn't use mine because it didn't hold enough hair, but the idea is good.
@jeanneobbard ah. Lol thanks. I waituntil mine are broken or my dog eats them until i buy more(when im ready i will look into them)
I love scrunchies for this reason! They can grab the hair just as tightly but with less bending and breaking and they're easier to adjust and remove as well.
Clawclips shouldn't be worn while driving. In the case of an accident, they can impale your skull...
@Ineviyath omg i never thought of that.. super valid point
It’s been so funny listening to this year’s autumn trends. My wardrobe is full of burgundy, green and leopard. My favourite bag, boots and wool coat are all burgundy. Rather than adding in trendy items I’m hoping it means I can easily replace some of my worn out items that I love. Items I know I will continue to wear for years.
I'm old enough to have at least one or two items in my closet that happen to be trending at any given time (I wear a hard to find size, so I buy whatever I can find that fits well and suits my personal style, then hold onto most of it until it's too worn to mend). So, there are always a few things that I really look forward to wearing each season. This time it's my 1990s suede shirt jacket and my 2010s leopard print ankle boots.
I have summer wardrobe and fall/winter wardrobe, I put the out of season stuff away in boxes so when the new season comes, I'm all excited to wear those things again as if they were new. No need to buy actual new clothes 😀
Ps. You look great in those glasses. I also switched to thick dark ones recently and had huge doubts at first but I love them now. I think the contrast makes my face look younger.
that’s a good idea
Leopard print is timeless, at least I think so. But you are right I never got rid of my basic pieces. And just actually that coat you are wearing was also a 1950's trend and 1980s trend. Just goes to show it all comes back which is what makes thrifting such a great way to shop:-)
I've discovered this year (I'm 30 btw) that people uses colours depending of the season they currently are. Like... Why are you guys doing that? It's for the change of lighting, or...? I like blue. All blues, from baby/paatel, to cyan and cerulean to royal and navy. And I use it all year long. Same with true red. I always thought winter is enough dark and cold by itself, the last thing we need is using just black (or grey and brown if you're "daring") to cover us head to hoe lol
I’ve been focussing on getting items that fit my body and make me feel and look good. Some necklines just do not look good on me so I’m being more particular about items and going out of my way to go in store to try things on. I’ve slowly been getting things that I really love on me.
Ok… I agree. When leopard print is “out”, it looks really outdated; therefore, in my view, it’s not timeless.
I’m here for colour - my wardrobe has lots of it! But, I never chose my colours based on the trends. They are jewel tones that make me smile all year: mustard yellow, forest green, fuchsia, cobalt, rust, etc.
Two years ago i decided to sit down with a capsule wardrobe planner\workbook and ive just been buying to fill the plan. Olive green and yellow and cottagecore print is my spring. Gem tone purple and red and moody wallpaper is my fall. Its so nice to feel the urge to shop, pulling out the planner and saying " oh, i could use a green cardigan... But not a million purses."
Also i do have leopard in my fall wardrobe, one dress and one tank top lol. People are always claiming its a basic but girl why does it take no prisoners in every other of my seasons lmao!
Dear Shawna, I'd like to say 2 things:
1) I thoroughly enjoy your thought through and well balanced videos and how much effort you put into them.
2) I adore your outfit. The colors, patterns, jewelry and nails is just *chefs kiss* 👌
Thank you so much!!
Such a fun channel! I love to see people commenting on how to do a trend without spend, and also on talk about trends that are not wearable for most people.
You are stunning honey! 😍❤️
I love my old leather jacket. It’s so beat up and even better for it. 😄💕
I think nailpolish/lipstick/eyeshadow is such an easy way to incoorporate fall colors without getting new clothes.
😊
I'm so glad you mentioned the washing instructions/maintenance of pieces! When I thrift or even buy new, I always check the tag for washing instructions and materials. Jackets and formal dresses are the only things I'll dry clean because I love them so much and am dedicated to them 4 life once they're in my closet. It's also a great deterrent against impulsive shopping. If a going out top says dry clean only, miss me with that
Seeing denim on denim as a trend is kind of funny to me because it's already part of my core style! Also you're right it's SO easy to thrift denim. Last year I thrifted a super flattering, dark-wash Ralph Lauren jean jacket and I love that thing so much. Personally I like to mix and match washes when I wear double denim, ex. that jacket I mentioned with light wash jeans, or dark wash jeans with a lighter jacket or chambray shirt. Add your favorite tee or sweater and you're good to go. It'll always be a classic to me!
Your glasses set the fall vibe for me 😮LOL I have a leopard print fleece pullover (few years old) that has been a statement piece for me, family & friends always expect me to wear it fall season. So we can keep some items to wear year after year and I have learned to keep it simple helps to find staple items despite the colors or trends. I wear lots of cardigans may consider changing buttons on them first find the right cardigan then buttons to update what I already have . Thanks for todays video on fall trends
I have two accessories in leopard print...a silk scarf and an umbrella...I generally only have solids for pants and tops and I think the print in a scarf is "just enough". I will be right on trend with the olive, burgundy, caramel, brown, and gray pieces I already own. I do have quite a few cargo style pants, and two pairs I really love for fall in lightweight wool....I don't know if those are still on trend again, but regardless, they will always be part of my personal style.
I have all these colors in my wardrobe already. This is good, because as I’ve mentioned under other videos, I’m on a no-buy for a school assignment in my addictions therapy class. So far, so good, and I really need to stick with it. Had surgery in July and bills will be tight through the end of the year. 🥴 Pray for me. 🙏 😂
You look amazing wearing these glasses, just like the ligther ones! Such a nice touch welcoming the fall season. Thank you for this video ❤
As someone who has has built my wardrobe over ten years I always stick to what I love and will wear seasonally not trend focused. I've got a leopard print coat/tops I thrifted years ago and haven't worn in a while and have recently brought them out of my wardrobe and worn them again. I wear mainly black and integrate coloured items with my black items for a pop of colour. I find a lot of items on vinted when I want to find something classic and timeless.
Animal prints are timeless. The trend for a particular year is how they are worn.
I’m with you on the faux further and leather. I told myself that I will not buy either because they don’t last. Not just as jackets, but as any piece with either material. Then I found myself in Marshall’s with a jacket with both materials combined- the very thing I said I wasn’t going to do, but because of the brand and price I got caught up. Didn’t get it and I’m glad. I love leopard print and camo print so I wear that all year round for most seasons 😊
Another thing to consider with chunky hair accessories is ypur hair texture. Big, heavy hair clips look incredible on thick, strong hair. If your hair is light and fine, though, it's going to get dragged down like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree (not to mention basically disappearing inside the accessory).
I have a burgundy pieces that i was thinking on bringing out for this season, and it got me excited that it conincide with this season's trends, especially that i like jewel earthy tones. im really just hoping the peacoats will be back in trend since my good old peacoat had to retire, it was very loved and served me well.
Those glasses suit you even more than your regular pair 🤓
Loooooooved this! I think it’s so important to really think about if a trend is useful and practical for you. I do love waiting a few months and then likely it’s at the thrift! I really appreciate you making this content!!
Personally I love leopard print accessories, so I’m getting a few pieces this time around. I still have most of mine from the 90’s and mid-2000’s. I have a 50’s-ish thing going on so it works for me. I know I’ll be wearing it for years because I never stopped! It doesn’t work on everyone, and it doesn’t match everyone’s vibe but it works for me.
Burgundy and deep reds will always be in my rotation, as they look great with my coloring. If I find something I like I might pick some up. Figuring out my season really helped me zero in on what I’m willing to buy. Blue based reds fit right in with my deep Autumn palette, and look great with black.
Most of these though I’ll end up skipping. I know they aren’t for me, and I’m not into the slouchy or over sized look, so my money is staying put. I like fitted silhouettes on me. I have one coat I love, but want a second coat to choose from so I’ll continue to wear that and continue saving up to have a different one that also matches my aesthetic made.
The chunky jewelry is certainly a no for me. I like it on others sometimes but it doesn’t look right on me. Same with double denim. Not for me. I wasn’t into it last time and that hasn’t changed. Hope everyone who loves it enjoys it!
I live in Miami so I don't have to worry or think about Fall/Winter trends 😅 Enjoyed the video though! 😊
green and brown are my colors I am so in this fall!!!
I love leopard print but not on my clothes. My favorite phone case is leopard print which I’m using right now and I always bring out for fall/winter each year. I also have a laptop case in leopard and it gives my very boring desk a nice touch 😊 when it comes to fall/winter it will always be darker colors and variations of shades so you really can’t go wrong with whatever you already have in your closet
I have a leopard print dress I bought years ago and I have kept it and now I am excited it’s back in fashion!
i'm not really a fashion person, finding out about trends from you is wild!! leopard print?? are we seriously bringing that back
I find it funny that I have just 10 band t-shirts and a couple of pants and just exist with it since the last 5 years with the occasional thrift when needed. Seeing how much people usually buy constantly feels mindbogling
I am sure you are happy but I could never live that life.
Loved your breakdown of these trends and the considerations you mentioned for each of them. I actually mentioned something similar in my comment on your fall trend predictions video when it comes to colors. I love bright colors and wear them all the time, but in the past I was often enticed by the color and ignored other aspects of the item that don't work for my style, which resulted in me decluttering the item eventually. I only have two green items left in my wardrobe, not because I don't like green, but because I didn't like the silhouettes of the green items I did own.
Most of my wardrobe is red/burgundy, magenta/berry, and cobalt blue/navy. I feel like those are evergreen shades. You can buy them pretty much anytime in a lot of different styles. In contrast, a lot of other shade have one "trendy"/seasonal variation that isn't always to my taste. Or if I like the color it might be combined with a trendy silhouette I don't care for. I notice that especially with green and purple. Some shades are more seasonal, I have more yellow, light blue, and turquoise in my summer wardrobe and a couple of orange pieces in my fall/winter wardrobe. I would also wear a bright turquoise or yellow sweater, but that's an uncommon color choice for the fall/winter season.
I have never understood leopard print as timeless tbh; it always gives trashy old lady to me even if it's high end.
I honestly love the “trashy old lady” look- it feels borderline nostalgic lol
@@aubreejobizzarro1208 honestly I do like it on some people just not me! I need to be older and trashier first.
I agree. Stop trying to make leopard print 🐆 a thing!!!
I'm so happy that greens are in right now...olive is one of my favorite colors and looks great on me so it's nice to see more of it in stores. I don't like maroon and brown flattens me out because i already have beige coloring and brown hair. But honestly i never see trends out in public that much, in my area i swear to god people wear everything.
Love these! Thanks! Please continue.
For me leopard print is a classic. I've been wearing it for over a decade and already have it in my closet and love it! When it goes off trend I'll still be wearing it! And I don't have to go out and buy any to be on trend because I already own it!
Totally agree, you have an healthy way of thinking clothes. As a very short torso and strong arms women, I'm personally very glad for the cropped trench trend, but you're right, for the most part, it seems that someone have cut them without any thought, leaving the peace with a strange unfinished style, that will be really hard to style in a few years.
Glasses - good vibes!! Keepers :)
I love this ❤
I was thinking my closet needed a refresh, but these new trends would swallow me. I’m a petite size.
I just thrifted a leopard print t shirt. It's good fabric and a good cut and I'd already decided that I kind of like leopard because it's neutral but the pattern adds a bit of interest. I'm happy with that purchase and that is all the animal print I need.
I do like classic style and adding a bit of pizzazz into the mix. What I need to do is refrain from purchasing too many thrifted finds that don't go with my style; ie just buying a thing because it's a good find.
I was given a pair of leopard prints flats a few years ago and I’ve got a lot of wear out of them. They’re a smaller component of the overall outfit and therefore not overwhelming, and the style is something I think suits me so I wear them and enjoy them. I also have some earrings (cheap) with a little leopard print and they’re so nice with an otherwise plain outfit. Same with red - I keep it a small component of the outfit and can ‘pull it off’.
I agree with you so much on patterns like leopard print. IT IS DIFFERENT EVERY TIME IT RE-CIRCULATES. I make a rule for myself to only get one or two trendy pieces. I love the clothes I have so I don’t ever need much but I will restyle my things to update them. 😊love your channel. First time commenting. 😊
You look so good today! Your hair looks so good down, framing your face. Love the topic too.
Olive green is my favorite color, I wear it year-round.
I agree leopard print is only timeless if you buy classic pieces or basics in that print and you stick to the natural leopard print colours not the pinks and green ect...😂
This video actually helped me a lot!!
I'm 19 and obviously I do not have as much experience on the trend cycle but since you are older, you also are more sensitive for fashion that people might like more than one year
Btw I love love love to shop the closet of my mom!! Most definitely I will keep all my stuff for my future children :)
I freaking love burgundy clothes; I'm really excited to wear things I already own 🎉
Can confirm the suede thing - my partner and I are LARPers and we really baby our suede and lesther pieces to make sure they last as long as possible. I dont think I'd buy suede for everyday wear.
olive, grey, and burgundy are part of my regular color wardrobe. my time to be in trend has come
I worked retail for 14 and nursing for 12 . I am homemaker for past 10 years and it was so freeing to wear jeans and a shirt ,sweaters,hoodies and not scrubs 7 days a week. I am gonna be 54 but now I get to choose what I want to wear.and I can wear makeup,perfume when I did nursing it was frowned so much .
Love love love your fashion analysis content
I am one of those people who are OBSSESED with cheetah print. Mainly because of my childhood. I actually got a couple pieces of cheetah print from the thrift in the spring time. One is a mid length skirt which very much fits into what I am comfortable wearing/ wear a lot of anyway.
I like storing away my clothes for different seasons, so when I pull them out it feels like a just bought them.
