Frumpy to Chic: Small Steps To Transform Your Style INSTANTLY
ua-cam.com/video/uyYs5v1Ri5U/v-deo.html
When I was a little girl, my ballet dance teacher gave me the best advice. She said "Good posture will always make your clothes look better. Stand up straight, shoulders down, chin up and pretend someone is pulling you from the top with a string." When we age, we tend to slump forward and lose that youthful bounce in our step. I may move a bit slower now but I sit and walk with regal purpose.
Pilates helps keep a good posture…a ballet posture
The first time I consciously lifted my chest and shoulders from being rolled down and forward, I was breathless and exhausted at the end of the day. It was basically isometric exercise. The muscles between my ribs especially had shortened from being in the wrong position for years which affected my breathing. Now it's not an effort but I do occasionally have to remind myself.
👏 excellent advice Linda
Mine said the same thing
Absolutely! However, by my experience, today is not easy to find clothes that fit to a nice posture. It takes me trying on dozens and dozens of jackets that I can put on my dancer body: they only fit if I slump, lift my shoulders and force them forward - I look and feel like a gorilla 😂 But if I stand straight, the cut is really awkward. Just look at all the mannequins in the shops, horrible posture everywhere.
I love scarves of all kinds. They're my signature accessory.
I'd love to see a video showing how to wear them in modern ways!
Yes a video on scarves
She did a video How to Wear Scarves a few years ago. Dozens of other youtube channels with scarf tying, too. It boggles the mind! Yet I wind up doing the same two or three versions.
I have a whole playlist on how to tie scarves Jessie you can find it on my main channel page x
What a great idea! I hope Marie-Anne does a scarf video!
"Miss Marple-ish!" 😂
I had a great wardrobe audit for this summer. I lost 52# and had to begin with a new wardrobe. I've been making carefully curated purchases, building my new wardrobe from scratch! It's been a lot of fun!
So glad you are having fun with your style Louisa 😃
Grandmama always said she never followed fashion or trends. However she adapted fashion to her own style and taste, and used to take some trendy tips to keep her style fresh. Accessories were one of her secret weapons. A classic outfit with trendy shoes or jewelry would make a big difference.
But the most important thing was attitude according to her words.
If you feel young and joyful that’s what all the people will see.
Bonjour Davidf - so lovely to see you in the comments again sharing your dear grandmother's style wisdom 🤗
Love the 80/20 rule!
I adore the suggestion about shoes modernizing. Shoes are our friends, purchased wisely, they always fit, despite weight gain or loss.
Sounds like we are shoe sisters 😃
I am not a slave to fashion, as we can see unhealthy waves of ridiculous trends being introduced every season, but I do understand that clothing industry needs these constant changes to attract clients. My approach is simple, I keep an eye on trends but apply only these elements that suite my individual style, hence 80/20 is a reasonable proportion. Many of my classic garments survived a decade thanks to a high quality material and couture. My favorite seasonal updates on trend happen in Spring and Summer, because of a hot climate I live in and it's only natural to seek replacement for fading T-shirts, prints and cotton dresses.
Marie-Anne, I ❤ all your suggestions and as usually applied common sense and elegance of French Chic Style.
Authentic French Chic is all about common sense Topaz Lake 😃
I love that tucking and belts are back, which you do a lot. Tucking in your shirt or sweater and adding a belt adds polish with little effort.
Less is more Maiden Voyager 😃
How many women with menopausal belly can tuck in their shirt without looking like an idiot??? I think that tuck in only the front is ridiculous. Just like pulling all your hair over to one side. Looks really weird from both front and back. Is that the trend we all should 'keep an eye on'? I sure do. So I can toss it.
Funny when you said inside out I thought you were going to say remember your under garments! But you are so right, attitude is everything! I have found your advice refreshing, I especially like your adding in a french phrase here and there! Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoy it 😃
Excellent 80/20 rule. Also need to remember to look at hair styles as some are rather dated.
I have a navy tailored blazer with just one gold button - AND I've taken to wearing it on occasions other than just high days and holidays! I also now have three belts in neutral colours and with statement buckles, to accessorise my outifts. The jacket was bought less than two years ago and two of the belts were bought only a few weeks ago.
Navy blazer of good quality farmer a bit fitted is a timeless classic! Combine it with je and, classic trousers or right skirts, dresses etc.
Perfect Nicky 😃
One of my favourite tips is the shoes. I found this to be true after I saw one of your other videos. I never thought of it before and I was so surprised to see the difference to the whole outfit just by changing my shoes.
😃👠
I love how you mix English snd French in your speech. C’est agréable.
😃😘 you are in for a treat this Friday evening Asmae - keep an eye on your home feed 😘
Excellent advice as always, Marie-Anne! Loved all your tips, especially the use of prints, vibrant colours, beautiful footwear and accessories. Yes I have statement pieces like striped tops, maxi skirt/dresses, wide leg jeans/trousers, also a pair of hot pink sneakers, red ankle boots, red Mary Janes to name a few. By following your guidelines it's guaranteed to always look modern. You look so youthful, love your Marinière. Merci ❤
Merci AW 🤗
I find changing the buttons on blazers and shirts can really change the look.
A few of my jackets are definitely frumpy. They're off to the charity shop this week
👍
Excellent advice! Love using accessories to update my look.
I just purchased two new scarves today! I wear them in my hair, and with all my outfits. Colourful scarves work well with a monochromatic look!
They do indeed Louisa 😃🧣
Merci for the Sunday treat.
You are welcome Ms B x
Love this! Thank you so much, Marie - Anne. You are beautiful inside and out.
Very good advice as always Marie-Anne. Thank you x
Glad it was helpful Jennifer x
Gosh I loved the pink blazer with black trim.
I totally agree with you Marie-Anne. Inner beauty and confidence is key to looking modern. I think I stay modern with the shoes and pant silhouettes that I have added to my wardrobe over the past year.
😃🤗
Hi Marie-Anne! Great tips and I like the injection of french into it! Shoes can definitely make or break an outfit!! Have a great week!! xx
👠❤️
Love your new lowlights……very flattering to your skintone…..bravo!!! Thank you for all your tips 😊
🤗
Best channel! Love this woman's amazing style! She is always on point! Thank you for your styling tips!
Merci Louisa 🤗
Great advice Marie-Anne! I enjoyed this video!
🤗
Good advice as always Marie anne
🤗
Oh goodness, what a delight to find your channel a couple of weeks back! Since then, I have been doing a deep dive watching all your content. I am so thankful that providing all this information is a passion that you are so good at. By the way, is that a leather trench coat that I spied there? I think we need some information about that. Also, I love the long khaki/olive skirt.
Merci for watching Lorna 🤗 You have a good eye - yes indeed it is a leather trench by Mango. It has featured in several videos maybe it needs more air time 😃
Fabulous video, great advice❤️❤️❤️
😘
Love your advice. For posture I remember the phrase from my chiropractor, " heart up, wings down" (wings, are scapulas). You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing Sue x
Love your mariniere. The buttons on the sleeve elevate this classic.
🤗
Houston,we have a problem. Youre hysterical 😅😅
😃👩🚀
Right now, we are wearing the same top 😂 I love a Breton shirt style
Which brand? The buttons set it apart from all the others.
😃💙🤍
Good summary. I got a couple of ideas that I will pursue. Then maybe more. Thx.
😘
Wear timeless classics that suits you and add a modern and fresh detail. Do not wear just modern pieces all together. That looks bizzare on women 50+
Merci for another great video. The "sheep" were hilarious 😄🙂
🐑🐑🐑🐑
Well done! Must share with you that I LOVE your sweater!
Wow so many gorgeous looks!
😘
Thank you for sharing this information with us. I appreciate all your efforts and hard work to make these videos. ❤
You are very welcome Rose Marie 🤗
Bonjour Marie-Anne!
Confidence in one's self is so important. Thank you for this. I love wearing scarves to add colour and texture. And I've learned to do the French tuck with a belt that I think modernizes my outfits. Thanks for all you do and are.
🤗🙏
Hi Amber. I’ve never had any issue with flying with knitting. I’ve flown with metal, wood and plastic needles as carry-on. The TSA website specifically allows knitting needles. Good luck and if you’re unsure, maybe stick with wood.
Thank you for the modernizing tips!
😘
As always, great video! Merci 💕 I often find that switching out one or two things, be they clothing, accessories, or jewelry, make a huge difference. I enjoy a classic look and cut but find if I go 100% in that direction it can be frumpy. Love to make something just a little off and trendy to offset that
I like your thinking Joanne x
I always enjoy your episodes and learn something, thank you.
You are very welcome Judith x
This really made me smile. I am a 66 year old woman who refuses to dye my hair, I am quite grey now. And at the moment I am actually changing my whole wardrobe to the Miss Marple style, which I find really great. and timeless. I really have not cared about silly trends for more than 30 years.
I don't go for silly trends either Rhani - just those that suit me 👍
I love the wide leg trousers! But, I must confess I looked my best in the 1980's when the same style was the BOMB! Oh well, I can rock my wide legs with confidence because I have "Been there, done that and look amazing in it!" 😄😄
I just found your channel today and I love all your tips (and other videos). You look super chic for your age.
Merci Bumble Bee x
So entertaining to watch. I love the French words! Very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it 😃
Thank you Marie-Anne
I'm sitting here today with my biggest new splurge, and it's a pair of Converse sneaks in a vivid cobalt blue. We're talking BLUE here. My task for the day is to look on UA-cam for some cool ways to lace them so the bows are hidden. In spite of their assertive color, they'll go with absolutely everything else. I'm also looking for some "elevated" buttons for my thrifted black blazer that fits like it was made just for me.
I wear my converse all the time Anne 💙 they figure a lot in my videos especially with suits to tone them down 😃
I change buttons all the time. There are wonderful sites on line. Especially since so many stores are clothing.
@@amypagekaviani5661 There's a shop near here with a website, and they have exquisite buttons--at exquisite prices. But I found a number of other suppliers, and I want to get a couple of sets, maybe one for spring/summer and one for fall/winter.
I think make up is the most important tip! You don’t need much but if you always go without makeup I think it’s the biggest sign you’ve given up and just don’t care. Not chic, right Marie-Anne?
💯👍
Your hair looks great❤️
Merci Marti - all thanks to my hair stylist 🙏
Miss Marie-Anne nicely done darling for modern advice as always my Beautiful Teacher l love you 😘❤️
Merci Hector x
You're welcome my sweet queen
Thank you very much for your wonderful video. I'm going to follow your proposals that suit me, even with my flourish patterned blouses and T-shirts in my closet.
Yayyyyyy Inge 🙌 I love that you will adapt my advices to your preferences 😘🤗
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Bien sur, Madame! 🙋♀️🐎
Great advise Marie Anne. Love this woman's beautiful style. Thank you for this useful video.👍❤
Merci Harsha 😘
I like the 80/20 principle and feeling beautiful on the inside. All of your tips are great but those two resonate with me. ❤❤❤
Merci Ms P x
Thanks for your wonderful video which as always packed full of great ideas. I love your suggestion of adding simple things like a belt of a pair of shoes to update an outfit. These can be inexpensive items that can really make an outfit pop especially when you are on a budget.❤ from Dublin
Yes indeed Monica - style does not have to be expensive 😘
Miss Lecoeur. You look amazing in this blue turtleneck with white stripes.
Collar is tight and high and looks amazing
Merci
Bon jour Marie-Anne. ❤️ the pink top & green slacks together! End of season sales, splurged on Talbot long sleeved tops, a few striped with sweet detailing. Never thought myself wearing stripes, but I ❤️ them! Are sharp!
😃👍
@@MarieAnneLecoeur My embroidery guild ladies, quietly play along with this upscale casual dressing. When we dress nice, bother to polish our rocks, we automatically take a little better care of ourselves & garments?
Perfect timing. I dressed today to see a friend and although I looked ok, I really wasn't pleased. Up popped your video and...CLICK... wider trousers, that's what I need. Feeling much better now, thank you again.
You are very welcome Gill 😃
I regularly leave it a bit too long between haircuts. When i eventually get my hair cut i feel and look the most modern and people always compliment. I dont even colour my hair anymore. Just a good cut does wonders.
Vielen Dank für deine wunderbaren Videos ❤
😘
thanks Marie-Anne, its just what I need.... I was going through my closet, threw away some of the oldest less updated items.. love your pink blazer. the current challenge is to look nice for a wedding, as you have advised I use a full mirror. LOVE your channel (not the dull type, I wear all colors that suits me :-) red, fuchsia, blue etc. )
You are very welcome 😘
Dear Ms Marie-Anne,
I have watched ALL your videos and kept quiet...agreeing, pressing the 👍but I MUST mention today the QUINTESSENCE of the tips and ideas you are giving !!!! So simple and yet, so NECESSARY! ...trends...editing....20%trends/80%classic (1st time I hear THAT!! Wonders!!!).... a new haircut even!!! WOW!!! ...YES! 🤣...to add `species` (that don`t bite!!! ah ah ah) into my wardrobe!!! You are a pearl of wisedom Ms Marie-Anne!!! helene :)
Merci beaucoup Helene 🤗
@@MarieAnneLecoeur 💝
Your videos are captivating and delightful. 🌷
Merci Celeste x
When I was a young woman in the dating scene, I had a young man compliment me and mention that when he first met a women, he noticed her shoes. He said he could tell fairly accutately if they would be compatible by the choice and condition of her shoes. I had never considered that men paid that much attention. It has stuck with me for 40 years.
My husband always notices shoes as well Carol 😃
Great video and hello to you Marie anne enjoyed video v much
Glad you enjoyed it Joanna 😃
Marie Anne, that brown leather trenchcoat is just amazing!
❤️
I’ve always been very particular about proper fit. I make sure pants are the correct size and length and suit my pear shape. I often buy clothes to fit the widest part of my body well and then get them taken in and to fit the slimmer parts. That custom fit makes a huge difference-slimming and elegant
Fit is all important Gloria 👏
I think fit is super important. As a petite woman, I have always needed to look at proportions because many items don't come in "petites" and sizing down doesn't work. As I have aged and put on a little weight, it is even harder! But nothing looks worse than someone wearing a baggy, shapeless outfit...no matter how stylist it is! On the other end...many women cling to a certain size number...and that size is way to tight now and makes their post-menopausal body look even heavier!
I totally agree Elaine - also watch here ua-cam.com/video/bJRr_yT5HmE/v-deo.html I make the same points 😃
Looks delicious.
I prefer the tentacles.
May I add you are very elegant. This black turtleneck looks amazing on you
For example I live to add male Ascot of course of pure silk with white good quality T shirt with well fitted jeans and Ballerinas or All Star sneakers.
Cannot agree more with you Marie. Bein styled and classy means to be in balance with yourself and the clothing's that you are wearing. Do not be afraid of experiments.
💯👍
Great video😘
That item with the green suit (stale) really spoke to me. I'm always looking for nontraditional suits as a lawyer. I would love if you did a video on formal office attire that still looks modern, especially suits! So many of us are working this sort of job into our late 60s and even 70s and it is very important to look modern in the modern workplace. By the way I adore that pop of pink in the sweater and belt and those amazing orange pants! Lovely video.
I will see what I can do Catherine 😃
That was enjoyable. My daughter is 25 and is my sternest critic! She keeps me from looking a fuddy-duddy. One modern trend I would like to embrace this Spring is the tank-top but I haven’t spotted any I like yet. I definitely think hair can be very ageing. I wear mine much shorter now snd it lifts my face and makes me feel perkier! 🐥!
It is always good to have feedback Victoria 😃 hold out for the Wow ob that Tank Top 👍 I agree about hairtsyles - I have seen some very lucky ladies with stunning grey hair but most of us as we age it gets thin and straggly 🙁 so shorter is better
I think the quickest way to modernize is to update shoes and handbags, They make a great impact on an outfit. The other is to stop wearing jewelry from 10 years ago. If chunky is out, get some sleek, slender pieces. Great tips Marie Anne!
Yes indeed Susan - shoes... always shoes ❤️👠
I love the economic idea of the 80/20 wardrobe. I am a classic clothing lover! I find i stay classic for work and drrss-up occasions and do more modern for my casual dress days.
Sounds very chic Norma 😃
Merci pour les videos très interessants!
😘
Stay away from the mentality of wear black, look slimmer- no black- that’s the unstated rule you never say. Black swallows all attempts of color - unless it’s winter and it’s freezing. Color color color! Thank you Marie!
Yes! Gray, also. Women who have Gray hair look dead when they wear black and gray, unless they accessorize with color.
Black is a great neutral for pops of colour to shine Jsvi 😃
Colour is my friend, love that you use colour, not just black “because it makes you look thin”
😘
Love your tips! I have been watching/following you for a little while and have had a lot of fun updating what I already have in my wardrobe...it's mostly 'classic style'. I would like to add a tip: To look modern (or at our best) do not wear clothes that are too tight. If looking at the size tag's number bothers you, cutoff the tag! No one's going to come up and ask "What size is that?" but they will notice if it's too tight. 😉 If it fits well, you'll look so much better! 🥰🥰
Fit is extremely important 😃 every time I say go for tailored pieces people scream they can't wear anything tight - but tailored does not mean tight it means - it fits!
Love this video!!❤ I am currently on the prowl for the perfect black linen wide leg trousers. I had a great pair, but I lost weight. Now I need a size 4 instead. It's hard to find black linen but I love the look!
Let me know if you find them Lynn 😃
I think the most "modern" trend to embrace is choosing slow fashion over fast, rejecting chain store shopping in favor of artisanal / sustainable designs. Pricier? Yes, but modern in both form and content.
Very true Clea - I have always advocated Style over Fashion it is the French Chic Way 😃
I am not into trends but I am definitely crazy about gold button embellishments (which is the current trend), MIDI skirts, vests and blazers. 50 but looking late 30s according to my friends and even teenage son who says I always dress tastefully. 😊
Thank you! Love and appreciation from Sweden.
😘
Merci! J'aime les mots francais! I was at a store trying on a nice striped cotton sweater, but it was not a wow. It was a non! In the car on the way home i was trying to decide why it was a non and i realized that it had 4 colours and the 4 colours were just too busy! Thank you marianne! Also, i bought beautiful wider legged red orange pants that are stretchy and perfect for traveling as they won't wrinkle! Bought them in petite as i am petite so they are a great fit! Thank you Marianne! If you could continue to tell us what's in fashion every season, it would be so helpful so that we can just add a few touches to our classics that will keep us modern! Merci beaucoup!!!
You are very welcome Eleni 😃 well done for walking away - your style gut is developing 😘
Fabulous video. Yay, no more skinny jeans! I have rarely parted with scarves, belts, and handbags. I think it actually saves money to have a closet based on 80/20. I buy some pieces that are styled to use a poor man's tailoring for weight loss. I can use belts to cinch a waist, a scarf to camouflage areas where the shirt or sweater seems too big, etc. My basic pumps may be dated, but I will still wear them if they are well-constructed with leather and look new or slightly worn. Some of my vintage '90s Coach bags still look barely worn, so I get them out and use them occasionally. I have enough to be creative and regularly buy a couple of things on sale to feel fresh. I think if it is dated, it can look good if the grooming is impeccable.
I am sure your grooming is impeccable Morgan 😃
Ms.Marple!! Ha ha! Great advice about 80% classic and 20% trend.
😃
Love that pink belt! ❤
🩷
I’m agree, deeply, Marie-Ann❤️
😘
@@MarieAnneLecoeur 😍😘
I love your outfit with the brown coat and navy bag..😍 I love navy..
I have started to wear, recently, pink tops and green pants.. do not know how I reached that combo, but looks good..
What I like to wear, among others, and do not see on older women are the pants with low crotch or whatever is called..
A lovely colour combo Elena I use it a lot 😃 yes those harem pants are atrocious 😖
Hello Marie Anne, I love all your content and find your advice so helpful as I am now into middle age ( 54). Styles that I used to wear now no longer suit me as my shape sadly has changed since Menopause, I was looking back at your makeup video from 4 years ago and wondered if you would consider doing another updated version as maybe you have new favorites to share. I love tutorials for us older girls, the pretty twenty somethings are all well and dandy but the finished look would not sit the same on my face! Thank you and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.
Bonjour Sabina - it is very odd I know that French makeup is in demand but my makeup videos never did well 🙁 my routine remains the same as well as my favourites. When it comes to makeup I am a creature of habit and a light touch 😃
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Thank you for your quick response, it’s good to know, that your favorites and Techniques remain the same after all this time and as a result your look remains classic, which is just as it should be for us older girlies to look and feel our best.
I am 51 now and used to love vintage clothing. I still have some classic pieces but love the idea of modernizing with a few statement pieces or trends. I love shoes and scarves. I will add some color or texture to make an otherwise very simple outfit feel more modern and fresh! Great tips, thank you!
I love your thinking Space Kitten 😃
❤ Marie Anne, You were born with an elegance of spirit, you have retained your femininity over the years... that is so important. Raison d' etre 😊
! Being modern means being young for a long time, yes ❤
Merci Sandra 🤗
I live the navy top you are wearing in this video!
💙
Alors tres manifique Marianne. You are an inspiration ❤
🤗
