I really enjoy your videos, particularly because you get straight to the point and there is no long, annoying preamble! You make me rethink what I already have in my wardrobe.
I agree about oversized blazers, they’re just not for me. They’re not feminine, flattering or classic, I prefer a classic fit. I was hoping this trend was over, so I was dismayed to see so many in the SS22 fashion shows. I’m still not buying one, I’ll just wait out this trend.
As a foreigner I watch these videos once in a while to listen to a native English speaker, pick up useful vocabulary plus some ideas for my wardrobe. Love this beautiful and elegant lady and the way she delivers the information, especially when she herself acts as a model, it's so cute. Many thanks and love from Russia!
I love silk scarves and wear them a lot, I have for 40 years. Some of my favorites are from Amazon and were in the $25-30 US range, which is very reasonable. I do stick to real, mulberry, silk, though, I find the polyester ones are hot, sticky and wrinkle badly. I once scored a beautiful classic cream and black one from H&M for $11 on sale. This was right before the most recent scarf trend started, about 4? years ago, so it hadn’t sold well, but I knew it was a great item. It’s the last silk one they had, though, they use poly now, ok for a bag, probably. They had some very tempting patterns. I wear silk scarves at home a lot too, especially to protect my sensitive neck skin from wooly items. Even the best cashmere can irritate my sensitive skin. Regarding silk: I just discovered silk socks from Tabio, they are downright addicting.
I'm a UK size 10 but I'm quite broad shouldered, my arms are quite long and fairly chunky compared to my body. I find with the tailored blazers I have to size up to get them to fit across the shoulders, and to get sleeves that are both long enough and wide enough for me. But then I've got far too much fabric in the body and they look too big. So I actually like the trend for the oversized blazers as it means I can buy a blazer that actually fits me! I don't actually like them too oversized at all. But because they are cut looser and a bit bigger I find that my size will actually fit me across the shoulders and have wide enough sleeves without drowning my body. So I guess it all depends on your body shape!
Body shape matters 100%. I have a beautiful friend who can actually wear men's blazers and they fit her, and on her, they don't look like men's blazers. My husband brought me back a man's tweed blazer from Scotland and I couldn't wear it with my narrow shoulders and hourglass shape, but it fit my friend perfectly.
Exactly my situation. Fitted blazers do not exist for me! I’m 173 cm tall, with wide shoulders and very athletic body, despite my age. So an oversized blazer looks almost fitted for me! 😂
We often talk about where we can cut into the budget yet considering our best pennies for the smarter purchase. Here is mine: I was able to order, through my optometrist, a pair of prescription/progressive lenses, with a gradient gray tint, on a durable pair of oversized, designer, gold-metal sunglass frames. They do absolutely everything I need! Darkest in the top third, which is ideal for driving, light through the bottom third, which is where my readers are, and because they are so large, it allows me good visual "real estate". If your eyeballs require prescriptions for near and far, plan for such a purchase, get them gradient tinted, and every day will be your best day.
Love the new graphics, well done you! I learned the button trick years ago. For classic style inspiration, look at pics of Ralph Lauren blazers and specifically the buttons that are used. So easy to make this upgrade, almost anyone can sew on a button.
I love my oversized blazer, I think it looks great for “edgy” looks and for more “tomboy” looks like wearing a knit hoodie under it. It’s not a classic feminine look, but it works well for me and my style.
I think a designer scarf is one of the most inexpensive ways to have a high end look. Even if everything else you’re wearing is high-street, a designer scarf can be worn over your coat and/or with the clothes under it elevating the whole look.
You don't need to spend hundreds on a designer scarf. For years I've been buying high-quality silk twill scarves with hand-rolled edges on ebay, directly from the Chinese manufacturers. It turns out that my favorite designs are copies of Hermes and other famous brands, but the cost is under $35 instead of $$$$. I have a Hermes scarf, so I have something to compare, and my inexpensive scarves are just as beautiful.
I prefer classic, tailored blazers. The oversized trend only works if they fit properly in the shoulders and arms and when cinched in the waist with a leather belt.
I love your videos. You teach me so much about dressing classy. I actually recently changed the buttons on a cardigan and it made it so much classier and elevated it to a new level.
I love your tips ⚘👍I used to Love turtlenecks, but getting more matured my boobs got bigger and now l don't like the look anymore, my boobs look so huge wearing turtlenecks...🙈 what do you think?
i got a few turtlenecks from M&S loved them but found them to be annoying on my neck then decided to cut off the neck part so its a crewneck now i realise i can wear a scarf tied around my neck to prevent this have loads of scarves too so im going to buy once again in all colours i had allready looking for them in the sales now .
I have a size 42J bust and I love turtlenecks. I go up one or two sizes so that they have a roomy fit, never, ever tight. Dark colors help tremendously, as well. Don't tuck them in unless you want to look like your boobs are sitting on top of your waist. A well draped scarf can fill in some of the expanse of chest, but with a sweater that fits loosely in that area, I don't usually feel like I need to. I absolutely cringe when I see busty women wearing tight sweaters; they might as well be wearing a neon sign that flashes an arrow at their boobs.
I have vision issues so I got prescription sunglasses. They are really good and can be used for sports as well as fashion items. I had to get progressive lenses so they were not cheap. They are pretty dark though!
The white shirt over a black turtleneck is a great idea. I also love a white turtleneck or mock-turtleneck under my darker tops, it brightens up the face. The classic white shirt, with collar and cuffs showing, works great, too. This is the only way I can look good in a black top, it’s otherwise too harsh on me.
This video was magic. It really made great points and ticked all the boxes, especially emphasizing fit. Tailoring is always worth it and instantly raises the value of any piece. Thanks Gemma.
I Love your accent, you have very conservative stylish content, I agree wide legs do look alot better, I often check the fabric for sure. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
I'm glad you brought sunglasses. I'm always looking for (somewhat cheaper) ones. I can't order them on line, I have to try them on first. Only a certain structure (the space between the brows, the shape and length of the frames) looks good on me. I like the over-sized also. I wear them all the time to protect my eyes. I enjoyed your fashion examples also.
I love your videos! And I agree with every tip you talked about, especially the one about the fitted blazers. I still have to find my perfect pair of black trousers, but for blazer, I have to admit that I have all the neutral colors plus some more bright ones, like a yellow one (I only own 3 pieces of yellow clothes in my wardrobe, not a color I use a lot). But every time I put the yellow one, because it is such a classic fitted cut, I always get compliments on it. I love to wear it with jeans and a striped t-shirt, such a classic, but with a twist!
I have always loved scarves. Invest in a silk scarf that matches your coloring perfectly and you will have it forever. Fashion colors come and go, but if the scarf matches you, you will always have something in your wardrobe that will match it and you will never grow tired of it or the compliments you get whenever you wear it. I’m still wearing my Christian Dior silk scarf that I bought 41 years ago. I also purchased some very inexpensive smaller scarves to tie around bags. I never use an expensive scarf tied onto a bag because a couple of them have gotten loose without me noticing and I’ve lost them. People are not looking closely enough to realize that the scarf you tied around your bag is not silk or high-end if it’s classic
Thanks for the tip to add buttons to turtlenecks. I am glad to find your channel. I found great sunglasses at Walmart that look great at affordable prices and suit my fashion sense. I also made my own cases to hold them out of the bottom pant leg of some slacks that were too tight around the ankle. Added a piece of black ribbon and wow.
I think the thing with fashion is I hate trying on...i try on 100 jeans to get 1 pair that fits me. I try on 200 blazers to find one that fits in shoulders arm and over bum within a reasonable price. Painful.
A while ago I was asking myself, "what's my absolute favourite piece of clothing?" The answer was blazers! I just adore them. So elegant. However, I'm still iffy about scarves. I think I'm too young for them!
Love the looks you are showing us. Unfortunately I have at least one size more at my torso/bust, so a scarf makes it even bigger....like at white shirt/blouse, so I never wear light tops or horizontal stripes f. ex. About the scarf: my hair is growing longer, so I'm waiting until I can tie my hair with a scarf. Probably some others have the same "problems"?
Right now tonight I have seen three videos poking fun at single button fitted blazers as being hopelessly out of style..well no tose 8f us who are smaller NEED fit...I chamge buttons on sometimes even expensive blazers...the single thung that can upgrade any blazer. Plastic buttons save manufacturers money.
I like single breasted blazer I leavecdoible ones slightly open.the French use scarves with practically every outfit .I have a real chanel I ve had donkeys years chain pattern. Love it..Black trousers never date. Great ideas as ever Gemma
I have to admit that it’s often the fabric which helps to make a garment look chic as well as a case of deportment,hairstyle,make up and accessories which make an outfit look more expensive.Personally,I’m a great fan of the androgynous look- wide leg trousers and oversized jackets but I’m not particularly vertically challenged which makes many styles easier to carry off !
I'm loving Zara blazers, suits and trousers. I know you have plenty of videos about them but they are still new to me. It seems I need to order loads from a company to learn about their sizing, quality and also a little more about my style in the process. (Your channel has been a great help, so thank you for that!) I used to shop Ann Taylor, Banana Republic and occasionally from Talbots, but I'm not sure if they would make good videos. Haven't shopped those stores in years. I've also ordered loads from Nordstrom, but have been pretty disappointed with quality lately. Keep up the great work and have a terrific week!
You're trying to wear the wrong jackets or the wrong fit. I have a 42J bust and I love blazers. They actually disguise the size of my bust, making it less noticeable.
So agree on fitted versus oversize blazrd and yes to the single button too. i have a gorgeous Anne Klein black blazer. Gold buttons and yes just one at waist...slightly fitted not tight waist...perfctly fitted to me. I wish I had it in many colors.
Great tips! Totally agree. My favorites are the wide leg trousers, turtlenecks, and the sunglasses. Having a large bust has made it difficult to style scarves well without drawing attention to that area
I have a size 42J bust. I wear tops that aren't tight, even if I have to go up two sizes. Then a nicely draped scarf fills in that expanse between my collarbone and my bustline and makes my bust look less prominent.
Love these tips. I like a fitted blazer as well. As a petite woman of 5ft. I think it wouldn't look right on me. Thank you for sharing! Sending you and everyone here love and light.❤️❤️🙏🙏☮️☮️
Decades ago I bought a simple unlined form fitting black blazer that's extra long, it hits at upoer thigh area. Don't recall where or why I bought it but this blazer has transcended any & every trend, still looks up to date and classic.
Thank you for your wonderful videos and the great advice you share . I'm definitely part of the tailored blazer group - those oversized ones just don't look good to me OR on me, the last thing I need is to look bulkier. To elevate cardigans, blazers and even sweaters, I buy beautiful buttons from Ebay or Amazon and change out the ones that were originally on the garment. I adore silk scarves and have a small collection from high street stores, plus a couple of designer ones. When I do splurge on designer scarves, I purchase from resale sites and pay considerably less that way.
Still looking for the right solid blazer. I found a cute, on sale checked blazer that I've worn quite a bit but I still need the solid. I'm also looking for a nice scarf that is versatile in color.
I’d add that if you get the lower-priced trousers and blazer, find a good tailor and get them fitted to you. Some stores still offer this service, like Nordstrom. There is a fee but it’s worth it. I also think the place to spend more is on a classic wool blazer in a gabardine, crepe, fine weave, or my favorite, double-faced wool. I bought a YSL blazer RTW, on sale for $900. I was sick about it, but it fit like it had been made for me. I worried what a to-do my mom would make if she found out I’d spent so much! But what do you know, nearly 40 yrs later, it still looks great, I wear it with jeans, a pencil skirt, a wool jersey flair skirt, a giant houndstooth skirt. What’s even more miraculous is that it still fits, lol! I had a client, very stylish. She was married to a college professor, so not rolling in buckets of money. She always looked like a million, and she confessed she had gotten hooked on couture when she was in college. She found a resale shop on a trip to Paris where ladies would consign their older couture for something new. These stores were unheard of in the US 60 years ago, but she ferreted one out. She also confessed that on one trip, she spent $2500 on used couture, including a Kelly bag from Hermes, which now cost a min of $5k new. It can be done, ladies, and with all the resale/consignment stores around, you can get the posh look for a lot less!
Love your videos and learned so much on how to dress up. I was wondering if you could make a video about winter hat and to wear or style as we are in the winter month.
Hi Gemma Happy New Year! I always look forward to your content and I love the format of adding the live video of model modeling the outfit. This is new and fresh. Keep up the fantastic work !!! ❤
I wish the pauses weren’t so abrupt, especially the ending🤦🏻♀️ good info, just not great delivery in terms of video editing. Thank you for great ideas and tips

I agree about the blazer. I like a fitted, waist enhancing cut. I don't own any shapeless boyfriend blazers.
Totally agree about oversized blazers. To me it just looks sloppy and unpolished.

Thank you !
Keep up the good work!
Avoid sunglasses. They're not as good for our eyes as we think they are, even the more expensive types.

I get scarves at resale shops
Me too! You can get some real gems at a really great price!
What about people who are large on top? I feel blazers just make my top (overweight too) look bigger.
You're trying to wear the wrong jackets or the wrong fit. I have a 42J bust and I love blazers. They actually disguise the size of my bust, making it less noticeable.
Try having the blazer tailored and wear straight cut/wide legged/parallel trousers. Ensure the top inside is v neck and is very fitted as well.
So agree on fitted versus oversize blazrd and yes to the single button too. i have a gorgeous Anne Klein black blazer. Gold buttons and yes just one at waist...slightly fitted not tight waist...perfctly fitted to me. I wish I had it in many colors.

Still looking for the right solid blazer. I found a cute, on sale checked blazer that I've worn quite a bit but I still need the solid. I'm also looking for a nice scarf that is versatile in color.
In terms of outerwear I think another one is thin quilted vests/gilets or lightweight quilted jackets.
I’d add that if you get the lower-priced trousers and blazer, find a good tailor and get them fitted to you. Some stores still offer this service, like Nordstrom. There is a fee but it’s worth it.
I also think the place to spend more is on a classic wool blazer in a gabardine, crepe, fine weave, or my favorite, double-faced wool. I bought a YSL blazer RTW, on sale for $900. I was sick about it, but it fit like it had been made for me. I worried what a to-do my mom would make if she found out I’d spent so much! But what do you know, nearly 40 yrs later, it still looks great, I wear it with jeans, a pencil skirt, a wool jersey flair skirt, a giant houndstooth skirt. What’s even more miraculous is that it still fits, lol!
I had a client, very stylish. She was married to a college professor, so not rolling in buckets of money. She always looked like a million, and she confessed she had gotten hooked on couture when she was in college.

Thank you for the tips and I’ll inspiration. 😎💙
Love your videos. Makes me reassess buying as opposed to looking at what I own!
Love me a blazer, wide and cigarette pants, and scarves.
Love your videos and learned so much on how to dress up. I was wondering if you could make a video about winter hat and to wear or style as we are in the winter month.
