Nice video. A turtleneck sweater is nice if you have a nice neck. the woman with the gray hair and her top and pants She looks fabulous. That is a look that I would want to wear. I loved the combination of white and black, black and gray, black and navy. Nice presentation of all the styles and I think your voice is very pleasing. The crew neck gray sweater is great. You are very classic.
I like your styling choices. I yearn for the day more people go back to wearing timeless classic well-made clothing. It doesn't have to be expensive and clothes can last when we take good care of them. When one person wears choices like this, other people notice and it can plant a seed in their head to start dressing better. It does wonders for making a person feel better about themself.
The Princess of Wales just wore a beautiful burgundy outfit (pantsuit?) with a pink silk bow-tie blouse, she looked amazing in it! I love that color combination. My neck and upper chest skin is so sensitive that I have to wear a collared shirt, or silk scarf, even under good cashmere sweaters.
I had bought that lily silk blouse with the lace detailing. However at the time I wanted a black shirt. Now seeing the white 😍 I may need to purchase it as well it is such a lovely blouse that can be a wardrobe staple for many decades with the right care
Jackie O was simply stunning wasn’t she? A white coat is so incredibly beautiful; a look I’ve not considered…Thank you for informing us on so many styles…Your channel only improves
Thanks👏🏽For refreshing my memory concerning classic outfits that are uncomplicated and simple to put together but give a real bang to your style. I wish you would show more outfits in another video!
Great video Gema!!! Iabsolutley have fallen in-love with navy and navy & black worn together. I am going to try it w/grey now. Thank you for the inspiration :)
I love your channel. You make style so easy anyone could benefit from watching. There simple and cohesive looks that are easy to copy. A no nonsense approach to looking our best. Thank you.
I love your fashion choices. This may be nitpicking and maybe it’s because I am a history buff, but the picture of Jackie O in the pink suit with the flowers while lovely and inventive ( It was a Chanel inspired suit that was made for her) was the suit she was wearing in Dallas when JFK was killed. This video is months old and I’m sure that you did not know but it evoked very strong memories when I saw it. Blessings
I totally agree. I was very surprised - shocked, really - that Gemma used that particular image. I too am also just old enough to remember the tragedy of that day. Surely there are alternative, less sensitive photos of outfits in pink with blue.
Beautiful. Most of my wardrobe has come from Lily Silk over the last decade or so. This brand is at the top of my price range, but it’s worth it for the high quality and the prices are fair, not just increased by an order of magnitude for a designer label. I just buy a few perfect items at a time from LS, and a few other brands like Quince, Equipment, Theory, etc.), instead of tons of fast-fashion pieces for the same budget amount. This has gradually upgraded my wardrobe to a classic, elegant and luxuriously comfortable one. My LS wish items: a white, thick silk knit turtleneck (the one they have is thin, so the neck won’t stand, but is great for a first layer), and lighter-colored dresses and bottoms, all with elastic waists. I love cashmere, but I have to wear it only in removable outer layers because I eventually overheat otherwise. I just ordered a silk-knit short, not-very-casual, hoodie from Theory in light blue (thanks to Black Friday pricing), and I’m so excited to get it. This is the kind of thing I love to wear: easy, super-comfortable, simple items in luxury fabrics. I do think an elegant version of a pullover (no zipper, etc.) hoodie, like this one, is now classic.
I drew so much inspiration from this video. We are in Summer here in Australia but making notes for next Autumn/Winter. I don’t have a houndstooth coat only a camel one as we don’t have call to wear a lot of overcoats.However I bought a beautiful houndstooth scarf so going to wear this with a black blazer or coat and a white jumper and black jeans or pants.I also like royal blue with black. So many ideas ! Thank you so much.❤
What wonderful and helpful Videos you make! Thank you! A suggestion idea 💡 for the next would be how to create elegant outfits with thick and/or big pullovers. Now in the cold months it very common to use them, but I feel that it's a bit tricky to style them 😉! Thanks 😊
Lovely outfits - a white coat is on my "bucket list" but highly impractical in our winters! Love a turtleneck, and even more so these days, as it warm and covers up the wrinkly neck. An observation - cashmere today is nowhere near as soft as it used to be in the past. I can remember buying merino wool sweaters in M&S back in the 60's which were softer than most of the cashmere today - and I've noticed that several cashmere manufacturers recommend a comb to get rid of the pills - which wasn't ever a problem in the past. It pays to look in vintage shops for cashmere too.
I love true white, it looks so much better on me than those yellowish ivory, cream or ecru colors. But, it’s getting so hard to find, except in basic tops and summer cotton dresses. In natural fibers like silk and wools, it can’t really be achieved because strong bleaches can’t be used on those protein-based fibers. So I compromise on those, but purchase items as close to white as I can find. We also have a lot fewer items offered here in the US than the UK. I’m always seeing great white items on UK Zara, etc., but on our Zara website, it just isn’t offered, 90% of current clothes here only come in black or beige, including from Lily Silk, my fave. Light blues will be big in the SS23, why not offer some things in that color, it looks great on almost everyone.
I wish she would do a video about organizing your closet. Which hangers work best would be so helpful. I have some nice pieces but my closet is a mess with a million kinds of hangers that get all bunched up.
All lovely outfits! I am partial to creams and light beige tops, sweaters and coats, lately. Along with light wash jeans and light beige chunky chelsea boots. Love your Quilted black purse, btw! Brand? Link?
@@vickycaulker1012 well done . I am sad to see how all of them appear to love cash more than anything. It will backfire badly. Support shops and real people instead our enemy 😎👍
It’s not just lately, many have for a couple years now. Go read some of the independent review forums for that company… they’re not good. The quality of their products is questionable. Not sure if they send the influencers the better stuff to deceive the other buyers or what, but something doesn’t quite add up.
@@theladynextdoor313 if LS would sell quality all the UA-camrs wouldn’t be necessary. I bet quality is poor . Everything coming from C. H. I, na is rubbish.
I love Lily Silk, this brand has formed the backbone of my wardrobe for years. Silk knits are my favorite, ultra-comfy and more casual looking than silk satin/charmeuse.
Lovely video Gemma. Thanks for the lilysilk discount code, I have been eyeing a slip dress from them. I have lilysilk shirts that I have owned for years now and they still look great, I love their quality, I do wish they would do more blousy designs though 😊
Closed captions are 😂!! You are wearing "belly" flats!! I want fashion retailers to come up with a color system. Such as navy number 3 will match every navy number 3. Have you tried to match reds, Navy's, tan, or sometimes even blacks! Unless you carry your whole closet with you, it's hard to match. Then there is trying to match anything on line!! Colors can be so distorted in print!!
Love horizontal stripe boatneck tops but unfortunately they’re tricky if you have a larger chest. A looser sweater works though. Love all your outfits here!
Excellent basics made into fabulous outfits! Do you purchase a double breasted blazer to fit when buttoned? Your blazers don’t look like they were fitted yo button. Thanks for your input.
@@carolspears8339 Trust some of the younger folk are aware as well! It's the image that's most often shown when they're riding in the car just before...😪
Hi there, are you able to tell us whether the Lilysilk cashmere is prone to pilling? I have been checking them out online, but don’t want to invest if pilling is an issue. Thank you 😍
Not a lot here for people who are not the Winter season (color analysis). Can’t do white, black, dark navy, or burgundy. The only things I could wear are the grey and the soft white.
It's not her fault; it's societal conditioning over many generations. The reasearcher John P. Molloy even found that a person's personal coloring has nothing to do with how attractive other people thought they were in these colors, especially in the corporate, government, upper-middle-class, and upper-class milieux. In fact, he found that people who wore non-traditional colors, combinations, and prints were considered less attractive and lower class, no matter how much the colors flattered them personally. It's something to consider.
First class video as ever. Burgundy houndstooth grey. Brilliant combinations. White coats are gorgeous. Always look glamorous and make a statement. The lillysilk white blouse was perfect lots of chic ideas here. Thank you Gemma
Houndstooth is my absolute favorite print. In fact, I just bought a pair of houndstooth pants in black/grey. I have a longer hound jacket in a stretch denim type material but the liner needs to be replaced. I need to find a seamstress who will be able to replace it properly.
I love burgundy and use it more since watching your great videos. Thanks! Suggestion - Jackie in that pink suit and hat is pretty triggering for most Americans who lived through that awful day. I wouldn't use that photo for a fashion example.
@@GemmawhattowearThanks, understandable error. It's not a detail a non-American would necessarily remember. The suit is now stored in the US National Archives. The blood stains have never been removed, at her request.
@@Gemmawhattowear Don’t worry, it was a long time ago and in a different country. I was only 3 years old, I don’t remember JFK’s assassination, so it doesn’t really trigger a big reaction in me. The politicians made a big parade of her wearing it to the swearing in of the next president, I wouldn’t have.
@@kimberlyperrotis8962well it was on the aircraft on the way home. Probably too traumatized to consider changing. She also wanted everyone to see what they’d done to him
It is not, unless you're emotionally stunted. I remember that day, I was in school at the time, and I'm not triggered. It was 60 years ago. It would be like getting worked up over the mere sight of a photograph of the clothes worn by William McKinley when he was assassinated. I can't believe that you haven't toughened up after all these years. Do you live in an ivory tower? Don't encourage people to be so soft and squishy; most of us need spines of steel to make it through this life.
Love your videos. This one got me when you showed Jackie in the pink and navy suit she wore when Pres Kennedy was killed. Can’t help but see it covered in blood. It might upset some seeing it here. Otherwise this was a great video as are your others.
You do realize that was 60 years ago? Most people viewing this video weren't even born then, and many aren't even Americans. It's like getting worked up over the mere sight of the clothes worn by William McKinley when he was assassinated. Is anyone really that much of a wilting daisy? Considering the popularity of gruesome horror movies and true crime tv shows, I'm guessing not many.
There are still people around who remember the day President Kennedy was shot and Jackie was in her blood covered suit. I for one was uncomfortable with that picture. It brings back a lot of memories.
Whatever you buy form lilly silk be aware - it is easy to buy, but they never respond to requets for providing returm authorisation. Simply no return possibility. 🙄🙄
I just went through my account/orders menu online for returns. I haven’t had this problem, they have approved all my returns, but I do find their return process onerous. I ended up reselling some new items from them, I hate complicated returns to foreign countries, the forms, waiting twice in long lines at the Post Office with no air conditioning. (Have to wait once to learn the correct forms, then fill them out and wait in line again!). Then the shipping and insurance cost! I just learned to choose my size better, or order custom, it’s free at Lily Silk (most woven silk items, not knits, takes about three weeks for delivery, vs. one for standard stock).🙂
@@theladynextdoor313 Almost everything is China based. The entire western world has outsourced most of our manufacturing to China. Even the haute couture companies have the components made in China, then assemble the product in Europe and slap a "made in ___" label on it.
I am a regular viewer. Love your videos. But, today, your Jackie Kennedy picture of her in the pink suit.... That is a photo of her arriving in Dallas. That is the outfit she wore in the motorcade when her husband was assassinated. That is the suit she would not remove even when asked to change. She said she wanted everyone to see her husband's blood on her suit. It is a major trigger for some of us Americans to see her in that suit. I am sure you did not know this. The anniversary of his murder just passed and it is a day marked by Americans. I am sure you did not know this, so am just saying.
Just an FYI, for Americans, Jackie Kennedy’s pink and navy suit is a very sad image as that is the outfit that she wore when her husband was assassinated. She is seen in that when president Johnson was sworn in, the suit still bearing his bloodstains. It struck me as a bit tone deaf for you to use that as an example. It’s kind of triggering especially for those of us who were alive back then
Gemma lives in southern England. Most years it hardly dips below freezing. If you want to know how to dress for very cold winters, I recommend Canadian or Siberian videos. Not kidding. They know how to dress for the cold.
No they’re not. Content producers need sponsors, no one else is paying them to do all the work, most have quit their jobs to do this YT content. Paid sponsorships don’t bother me a bit, I get good discounts and find great items this way.
Love that tip about looking back… if it still looks good today then it’s a timeless classic.
This chanel is a gem. I'm glad I found you.

As an inverted triangle (a person with broad shoulders and overall larger on top) I cringed at the first three suggestions.
Then don't try those. See? Easy.
This lily silk...all so tiring now...overkill..😫
First Lady Melania TRUMP STYLE IS THE BEST & MORE UP to date..Britts are missing the boat never to recognize Melania
I have literally non of them clothes and can't find any of the clothes she has in the vid
Just an FYI, for Americans, Jackie Kennedy’s pink and navy suit is a very sad image as that is the outfit that she wore when her husband was assassinated. She is seen in that when president Johnson was sworn in, the suit still bearing his bloodstains. It struck me as a bit tone deaf for you to use that as an example. It’s kind of triggering especially for those of us who were alive back then
I bought something from lily silk turned up like a crumpled bag terrible quality. I don’t know why people go on about it. Very cheap looking to me
Get real! If you're cut in a bad snow storm you would freeze to death in your car. Fashionable or realistic life or death
Gemma lives in southern England. Most years it hardly dips below freezing. If you want to know how to dress for very cold winters, I recommend Canadian or Siberian videos. Not kidding. They know how to dress for the cold.
The pink Jackie outfit is the one she wore the day jfk was shot. With that outfit, I unfortunately only see the tragedy.
Seriously? After all these years you're still that weak?
@@edennis8578 Yup.
Your videos are asking for money!...
The equipment to make videos isn't free. It also takes a lot of time and effort; do you work for free?
Your comment is unnecessary
No they’re not. Content producers need sponsors, no one else is paying them to do all the work, most have quit their jobs to do this YT content. Paid sponsorships don’t bother me a bit, I get good discounts and find great items this way.
Thx, been searching for houndstooth jacket. cgzone8
