    I could follow a million stylists but what makes Lydia great is the educational part, supports sustainability and so much outfit inspo without the shaming of what is "cool" or "in at the moment". I have been getting a lot of compliments since I am putting all your advice to work and into my (thrifted) wardrobe 😍

      @ybe7011 2 роки тому +9

      That's really impressive. It's nice to hear people are thrinfting instead of buying new. I need to get back into it. I'm sure you have a good eye!

      Same here! Putting an outfit together is not that difficult for me, I have already learned something 😅 but shoes is where it all goes wrong, so I really appreciate any video on this topic. Maybe even how to match the right shoes, in terms of color, style, etc. would be really helpful to me.

    So helpful Lydia!!! I would love to hear from you on:
    - styles of footwear you think are classic for A/W (boots, sneakers, etc.) and will last season to season
    - work bag or workwear accessories in general (I am in desperate need of a durable but fashionable bag 😅)
    - choosing the right cut for blazers and trousers

    Great video! It really explains why some looks with boots don't turn out so good! As a suggestion, you could show in the end all the "right" and "wrong" next to each other, so we could visualize and understand it even better. Thank you!

    I have a pair of tall black Ralph Lauren boots that I wore all over Europe when traveling there to visit my daughter over a period of 10 years! They were beautiful and comfortable and it was hard to finally give up on them. But I purchased a newer, but similar version of them last year…. Truly the most versatile pair of footwear I own with classic good looks. Black boots are the bomb!

    I would love if you could “shop your own wardrobe” to see how you come up with new ideas to put your outfits together. I would say I got quite good in combining things but often times I gravitate towards the same outfit concepts which makes it feel less interesting and less varied. Love your vids and Insta posts!

As a petite I am always looking to extend my leg length in pants - Should I wear black boots with navy or black trousers, or with dark denim only? What about brown boots or ivory boots? I have similar questions about belts, which I notice you often wear. What is the most flattering way to wear them? Would love a video just on belts! Thank you for all you do.

    💟 Yes, I enjoy your theme of finding the right "balance & proportion" between shoes & outfit choices. Right now I have one chunky ankle boot but it's not my favorite because it's weighty, so I may donate them.Anyway, I look forward to wearing my tall boots, both flats & heels & explore more style options!. I also wonder how you would style cowboy boots...I have a black/red pair which I've never worn! Thanks Lydia......

    Thanks for this video it was very interesting. This is why I find fashion and style so confusing though. I was literally reading an article from 2020 the other day that said the opposite of what you said about leaving a gap of skin between boots and a skirt. It said leaving a gap of 2-3 inches between ankle boots and a midi skirt was the perfect way to style them and not leaving a gap looks bad. There’s so much conflicting information out there on how to style things it becomes really disheartening and makes me feel like I probably look frumpy and outdated even when I’m really trying not to and have done my research.

    @kellymay8242 2 роки тому

    Hi there. I've not seen your channel before and I was initially going to make a comment about maybe showing what does work instead of what doesn't work. And then I watched and you kind of did. I wonder if one day you could do something exactly like what you did here. But then with perhaps a few outfits, generic-ish, generic isn't right. Classics. Which you did. But with a top. Then have the three boots. And a dark and light blazer or coat. And show what's best and why. Like that first outfit, I would have loved to see what your finer boot liked like with it? Then its a direct comparison. And then adding a blazer helps the outfit how? Cause what if the air con in your work building is one of those crazy ones that make inside in winter feel like a sauna and in summer a freezer? I hope that makes sense cause that would be awesome.

    Thank you! Liking your videos! Only thing is when wearing daintier boots and saying it looked too top-heavy you had on a huge blazer so if course it did. I really love dainty shoes so would love to see suggestions for outfits that work well for them. Plus I don't wear big, wide blazers or chunky shoes. Looks amazing on you but just isn't my personal style.
    Also wondering your thoughts on how much tights or leggings in same color as boots could help or not when wearing skirts.

    Love this content in both the subject and the supporting "how to.!" How about a deep dive into heeled boots...??!!

    Will you show how to dress with style for those of us who have lost our waists? Maybe you’ve done this already; my apologies, if so. I just love your videos and find them so informative.
