- How to add some “chic” to a casual outfit - What to wear
Casual chic is in between casual & formal in terms of dress code. In this video, I put together a casual outfit & then I show you how to accessorize it, how to play with colors & why materials and texture are important.

Hi 😘 Do you find these tips on “casual chic” helpful? Would you like me to do another video for any other style? Any other video topic you would like to see?
Best pieces for pregnancy 🙏🏽☺️
I would like to see what companies you support for cloth shopping and why what companies you don’t and why? If they’re sustainable? If they’re worth the money and where to shop for what ? And how much should an item cost? I want to know if I’m over paying or under paying? Ect I bought a jean jacket for $25 and I guess I should’ve know better it hasn’t even been 6 months and it’s already fraying! I have started my capsule wardrobe thanks to you and want to invest in good pieces that will last me a long time not pieces that will fray soon! 😫
Ps i love you so much!
Can you do modest chic?
Super helpful!
I didnt quite get the matching your jewelry with lipstick tip until i looked down and saw your wrist. I really liked your look. Very chic indeed.
Thank you, Justine for your professionalism in regards to your video production. I so appreciate your direct and succinct style of presentation. Thank you for not making your viewers watch a long, musical intro every time They view one of your videos. Thanks for not sharing your cute pets or explaining something or some noise in the background, etc. I’m busy. I want to get to the point. I really have learned a lot from you about fashion that is meaningful in my own life. I’ve become more thoughtful about how my purchases impact our world in so many ways. I’m still learning, but I’ve become more focused on what I want from my closet and how to get it. Though still a work in progress, my wardrobe is much more in control than it once was. When friends tell me they have nothing to wear or it takes forever to get dressed, I refer them to you. Thank you.
I see it already has been mentioned, but still it's a great idea: a vid about the androgynous style!! I find the aesthetic to quite interesting
Adrianna Arleta Smolarek I like to point out that this isn’t new or anything if is just part of the 80’s
I love the graceful & gentle, ivy league grad older sister vibes. this really is my Favourite channel 🥺💖
You should create an app which could help people to create and follow their style! I really in need of something like that!
a good idea!
Almost to 1M ! I remember when she only had 200K... I feel like a proud father 🤗 lol
LOL...
I really appreciate this channel. I find certain UA-camrs become a bit too brash, casual, annoying, and less informative after awhile in how they express their opinions. I love how personable and straight forward Justine is in every video. Always learning a new way to articulate things from her 🌻
Thank you for reiterating that "Confidence. It's always chic!" 🔥🥰
Merci Justine. I love the simple aesthetic and straightforwardness of your videos. You're also super chic! From Canada
hello to Canada!
PLEASE talk about the causal - chic a little androgynous look. I'm thinking Emma Watson's street style.
I second this!
I third this!
Yes definitely this!!!!!! LOVE her street clothes.
Androgynous is not chic. Sure Hepburn had short hair but her style was always distinctively feminine ✌🏼
@@mattkierkegaard9403 erm why must chic=Hepburn? 🤔🤔
I was watching your 2 and 3 year old videos for comfort ad motivation to take better care of my look and myself. These you have produced during the pandemic came to me tonight, and have been a higher level. Comfort, yes, but that there will be an end. It's April 2021. I need to start caring about this again, even if other humans are incredibly scary even after both vaccine doses. Thank You. I had my first business meeting in more than a year, and I wore make up, lightly. It felt good.
This video is a nice reminder to know my personal style to proper harmonize color, incorporate accessories, footwear and consider garment texture to name a few because after all...”Confidence is always chic” 😉
So much respect for you, other fashion designers and stylists because everything you all put out are well thought through; something often gets disregarded or forgotten. Thanks for the reminder :)
You're very welcome!
Matching lipstick to accessories is SUCH a great tip that I can't wait to try! Thank you Justine
yes, i liked that one too.
Thank you for your guidance. I lost my way with clothing after growing my dyed hair out back to grey duting the pandemic and just couldn't see what suited me after that, but your advice has really helped me.
I have discarded half of clothes and shoes etc. Which has bee very freeing, now l can see my favorite pieces and how they can all work together. I can also see the red pieces l need to make these clothes work better, a belts, black jacket etc.
I think I could listen to you just sharing your thoughts and opinions - even on the same topics - over and over and never get tired of it. I always get something new out of your videos even if it’s the 4th time I’ve watched it!
I recently made a pair of palazzo pants out of some batik in my stash. They are so fun to wear.
Yes! Lovely video. I really liked the color matching section. Especially the 'modern' style of mixing colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel. Never done that! I guess I'm going to have a fun evening styling my clothes :D
the palazzo or wide-leg pant is my go-to as I work from home all the time. You always look/feel dressed up but I can sit cross-legged or take a break and do a stretch no problem!
These tips are wonderful for those of us who are postpartum and not wanting to live in pjs/sweats/athleisure! I recently had my third baby and gained more weight this round so its been challenging to find stuff in my wardrobe that makes me feel good. My second son has made a point of picking out earrings for me ☺️
Such a helpful video for a person like me who is 100% not able to coordinate style/color etc easily. Thank you!!
Trendy and Chic, two different things. Yesss!!
I love this kind of video! It's so helpful to see your process in creating - or curating - an outfit, because it's easy to feel that it should just be intuitive, and if you don't already know exactly what to wear with what then you're a lost cause.
hi Justine, just want to appreciate you taking the time and effort to make these videos especially in the midst of the current pandemic. Your calming presence and expert teachings have always been my go to whenever I need it, be it to take my mind of my troubles or just to be educated. Merci beaucoup! From Singapore.
Thankyou Justine for sharing your knowledge in style etc, I am interested in learning how to dress for a 5ft 3in person, 66yrs old 😊who feels much younger on the inside... I will look at your video on determining my style.....you may laugh, that I would be unsure at such an age ? But I haven't given up on myself and want to present ( friendly/casual, yet put together....Looking forward to learning more from you. Thankyou 💐🙏
I would've loved to see you in some of the complete outfits you described or if you included visuals of people wearing complete outfits like the ones you described. But it was a very informative video non the less!
Perfekt! Totally perfekt! Exatly what I need😀. The monochrome you have talk about before, and I think about it when I get dressed. Perfekt video ❤️
Would love to see some of the ideas modeled by yourself x
I was certain you were going to suggest a scarf as a way to add chic -ness to an outfit!
Thank you for a great and helpful video.
Hmmm... good point. I was rather thinking of the at-home situation (because, well...) but you're right: when going out, that's definitely a good accessory
@@justineleconte Except for the warmest weather, I routinely wear a scarf at home in order to give my neck and shoulders an extra bit of warmth. Especially during this period of isolation because I often sit more which can put strain on both. When my neck and shoulders are slightly chilly they get tense--and heaven knows more tension is the last thing we need now (or any time for that matter).
Merci, Justine! Confined at home as we all are, it's easy to fall into a torpor. Tips like these are inspiring & fun to play with even if we're not going outside. To keep my spirits up, I've been making sure to shower & wear pants (well, sweatpants) every day, but your video takes it to the next level. This is a good time for those of us who aren't French to channel our inner French girl & add a little chic, a little style, to the simple outfits we're wearing each day.
You are THE BEST! Thank you, Justine! ❤
Hi, Thank you for this video. I have been wearing the same kinds of clothes for 25 years. I came to the conclusion, after I was involved in a traffic accident and had my career abruptly come to a stop, that I didn't need any nice or fancy things anymore. In my life before that, I was in a very formal setting (court rooms and Public Prosecutor's offices), and now I'm in a very casual one (about bed bound, except for maybe 8-12 hours per week). Lately I have come to resent my black, well fitted mind you, t-shirt and yoga/jazz pants in black, and I'm on the hunt for a style that works in my life but isn't a, to be honest, a day pajama. But now THIS, in the world, doesn't help much (my immune system doesn't play well with viruses, so when they say isolation, I am well and truly isolated). And along comes THIS Video, and a few others, and I go yummy, I do need some of this, but how do I get there... This will be a project that I can do from my bed, thanks to UA-cam, and maybe a delivery service from a few select shops.
Thank you for sometimes being very French, and always being clear and stringent in your message and delivery. Also, Thank You all you people in the comment section, all your discussions and comments are so interesting wonderful and enlightening, and make me feel so fortunate to have and read. You are awesome. I'm looking forward to the next video already. Yours, Ann
Love this. I would love longer videos! Maybe another series on Parisian life. Or a Berlin Basics series.
Thank you Justine! ...and, I have long admired the ring on your left hand... a wonderful piece. I have looked for similar (USA and DE) and have had no luck. It‘s beautiful and very flattering. Love your channel, and thank you for giving us new videos during lockdown.
I enjoy your videos so much! Can you consider doing one on what to wear to a formal or black tie event? What to wear to weddings? And what is age appropriate? I am 55 years old and my daughter is 27, perhaps a contrast? Thank you!
# Justine, This type of video is very helpful to me now. Because I am building up company on line. I have been focusing on my late husband who recently died of Prostrate cancer. I am a bit out of touch with fashion. Thank you for the awesome value you present in your videos.
that‘s why fashion stylist is a real job - 🤣 - I love you !!
So helpful! Please do more videos like this. My everyday style is a t-shirt and jeans or jogger-type pants. I usually add a cardigan sweater. How do I make this style look more elevated?
Yes I love your advise , it makes me more aware of what I’m doing getting ready for the day . Thank you
Love you and your sister Marie-Anne 🙏💕 Continued success😘
Your videos are always helpful ✨🙃👌🏻
Completely agree with the concept of “telling my brain it’s time to focus.”
I find a great haircut (modern) with my silver hair at 61 for some reason is what makes me look the most chic. I was the fashionista back when we were going to work but now am working from home. I got rid of half my wardrobe and now only have kept classic, well fitting quality items. While trends are fun I’m not spending my money on them.
Hi Justine! Love this casual chic video! Thank you for the suggestions.
Very helpful as always. Merci!
How can one be so smart and competent? You are awesome!!!! Wishing you the best all the way from Brasil! 🇧🇷
Cheers from Berlin to Brazil!
Great video. I would love to see your wardrobe!
I would LOVE to see your colorful shoe collection that we never see on You Tube!
I did a shoe collection video ;-)
Excellent tips 😊👍
Always....thank you.
Thank you Justine! (..I just can't do the loungewear thing!)
So helpful! I would to hear about "how to wear bohemian style in corporate environment" ;-)
I have been following you channel for years..you are so talented !
Can you please give style tips for girls with hijab ?
Love you Justine ♥️
Could you please do a video on your childhood memories.. or something incident that inspired you.. or you still laugh about.. I'd like to know about you more.. what made you.. "You"
Lots of love ♥️❣️❤️❣️♥️
Take care.. ♥️
I like this idea! Or maybe a story of a childhood garment she had and loved, to tie it in with the theme of her channel?
Beautiful idea. I have wonderful memories of childhood clothes and the clothes of my mother and aunts who always wore gorgeous classic things. My one aunt was as stunning as a movie star. Of course, there were always new outfits for Christmas, Easter and perhaps a birthday. Wedding clothes, of course, were a source of endless fascination and a touch of glamour in an otherwise simple rural life.
Thank you, Justine
I am grateful for this vldeo ✌️
Loved this video and these types of videos that you do! They're so helpful, thanks!!
You thank you for the videos. I would love more info on color mixing in outfits. Like the red/purple combo you showed here. ❤️
For lose fitted bottom I would add a skirt is good. I have a few loud high low skirts I should start wearing again. I would love a video on my loud patterns. Maybe you've done a video on one.
I LOVE your chic top!! 💕
Das Video ist großartig. Lehrreich. Spielerisch. Auf die wesentlichen Punkte aufmerksam machend. Danke.
If you can it would be nice to talk about layered styles. And what make clothes more womanlike. Thank you
I tend to go for minimalist, dark colours. I love love love earrings though.
Thanks for sharing this Justine. Stay safe
Thank you, great video as always. Would you consider doing a video on style for the curvier lady?
I really really love your rings, in all your videos I cannot take my eyes off your hands :-)
That was fascinating. Thank you Justine.
Hi Justine! Thanks for the useful information. One suggestion if you’re taking any- I wish you’d post clothing options that are affordable. For example in your description box for this video, you have $433 pants! I know it’s just to show the style of pants but we’d feel better if we know we can get the same styles in affordable prices. I hope you take it into consideration and not as an offence. Thanks!
I did not take the prices into account for this video, I was just trying to look for the right shapes/colors/proportions. If you go to a shopping website, you can search and filter "beige", "palazzo pants", etc. and then also filter by price range. That should do. It's easier when you already know what item to look for :-)
Dear Justine, thank you for one more great video.Do you think you can do a video about online shopping for plus size clothing? Something with great quality? Many thanks.
I think we need more French chic!!
You should definitely check out Marie-Anne Lecouer! She lives in France and has a very nice UA-cam channel!!
I am never sure why we consider French women more chic than others...in NewYork City women (or any major city in the world) are every bit as chic as Parisian women....
Hi Justine, great insights, thank you! Could you make a video to describe type of pants/trousers/jeans that suit best someone with short legs? I always have doubts whether to wear cropped jeans or above the ankle. Thanks! Stay safe!
Hello Justine, thank you so much for the video.
I’d like to know more about pear shape.
I’m petite also and it hard to find a chic style. Thanks!
Me too! Palazzo pants do not suit a petite pear!
Can you please do a video of how to transition styles? I feel I have a bunch of stuff in my wardrobe that's no longer my style but I don't want to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe!
Your English is very good!
Great video, as always 😘
I'm interested in your thoughts on the "clasic-elegant at home whilst still comfy" style.
Hugs from Romania.
Justine, Thanks for such timely advice. I love your use of the word "curating" my wardrobe! As a late 50's women in regional Australia I'm in the midst of a transitional stage in life and career at present and the idea of minimalism as chic rather than maximal is something that sits well with my life long approach to clothing aesthetics. I've been told frequently that I look 'put together' or 'always well presented' but now I know what principles I have been using without even knowing it. My mum's generation would have said it was ladylike, but I much prefer to think I have at least an inkling of french stylishness. 😉
One question: my personal style tends to be classic, but I have a choppy pixie cut and short oval face. I've tried adding a scarf or hair pin to my hair but it always feels out of place. Any suggestions, or is this just not for me?
Minimalism is more sophisticated, but maximalism is more fun for a casual or less formal setting!
I love the bracelet you are wearing. May I inquire the brand ? Thank you.
OMG that ring in your right middle finger it's soo beautiful 😍
it's from my collection ;-)
@@justineleconte But no longer on the site, I've been looking at Stilnest for weeks hoping there would be more for sale, only something like 2 items left to choose from.
Thank you
Woukd you pls do a video on how to treat and care long hair so tha it always looks healthy and shiny? You have done one in the past but a new updated one would be appreciatwd. Thank you.
You've got your eyebrows right. And your shade of lipstick. Can you tell us which brand it is?
J’adore vos vidéos. Quant aux chaussures, avez-vous quelques recommendations? Merci!
Love this video. Can you please share your beautiful lipstick color?
Amazing video, I'd love to see more
J'adore ta chaine!!!
I love the silver ring you wear on your left hand, where can I purchase it?
Hi Justine, considering we want to wear quality pieces for many years usually 4-5 main natural fabrics like cotton, silk, wool, linen, can withstand how many washes without looking faded, jaded? Idea being after how many washes should we discard each? Would be obliged if you can make a video on this
Great idea!
Please can you help. I have blue eyes and I'm going to hairdresser soon but don't like the bleechy blonde colours. Do u have any ideas for a honey blonde colour?
Those accessories are astronomically priced!
Do you have a powerpoint or a a Google Doc with this information on it?
A statement bracelet always adds. You are so right. Right now as we move into spring in Salem MA I am struggling with hats glasses and masks. Better transitional hats are needed not too warm stay on in the wind (A return to hat pins?) And do not have a rear brim that gets tangled up in collars. Oh so many parameter so sorry but help I do not think well made hats for woman exist. Not a baseball cap please
Amazing! Just what I was looking for. Thank you Justine ✨
I'm new to your world. I noted from earlier videos that "white" women should not wear orange. Your lipstick in this video seems somewhat orange on my monitor. Are clothes different than makeup in color choices? Is it technology distorting? Thanks!
Just saying I love your blog. Minimalism is always my go to m...so it’s not extremely French;? I happen to be West Indian.
Casual smart (for teachers) please ❤️💗💖
Nice video! What shoes would you recommend for a casual chic look?
Pointy flats or mules (i.e. small square heel, comfy)
I am of warm type, does it make sense to wear a warm toned top and a a cold toned bottom, of same colour?
Also now that I finally figured out I am a warm type, any advice on what to do with any tops that don't suit me in tone? Any advice besides to get rid of such clothes :)
I guess you could do that... the important thing is to not have a cool color next to your (warm) face, because that would feel off. I don't think you'd have that issue with the bottom garment. As a warm person, you're looking for anything red, red-purple, orange, yellow and green (and yellow-browns, green-browns, etc.).
You can wear the top with some warm colors scarf around your neck.. the closest color to the face has to be warm.. I guess that'll work if wearing a scarf is an option
I see your lovely face and think you would look incredible with a long, graduated bob. I like your content. Thank you.
