Doc Martens started as an industrial boot, however, fashion history shows us there are no boundaries in style. 😎💅
I love my Docs, never giving those up!
I was thinking the exact same thing!!
Just bought the Audrick Mary janes ❤
Same ❤
I think it’s important to note that her style is very classic and of course her recommendations are geared to her style. I personally love my docs and the more little details, the better for me. So you just have to look at why she might feel these shoes look “industrial”. I think they give an edge that she doesn’t try to portray in her own looks.
Out in the ruggedness of the rest of America, these frilly shoes get eaten up quick. I’m gonna hang on to my boots.
Life hack: you can go over contrasting stitching on a shoe with a black permanent marker pen. I’ve done it on shoes, bags and a leather jacket and it works well if you’re careful x
Oh snap Ty for this idea 😂 going to save some shows rn
Or you just have to polish them from time to time with same color shoe-polish. I've used to change the color of entire boots by using simple polish in desired color, if I couldn't get a pair in a shade I wanted - i.e.oxblood booties became dark brown after one application of brown shoe polish. Light stitching stands no chance against it. Polish polish, polish. ;)
This *luxdups* tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotationhand-pink-waving
Canadian here... Chunky Dr. Martens is a MUST!.. the Canadian Winter Snow doesnt play.... that plus Blundstones. If you want to have any chance to survive winter over here... those two shoes is a necessity. Everything else on the list i think its a thing of preference... and i somewhat agree with them.
Don't forget black ice - chunky sole all the time, unless you want to land unceremoniously on your butt.
@@EvelynM-vlogs gurl!!.. Chunky sole all the way! ✔️
Great tips Lydia 😊 Depending on your lifestyle of course. I like the video format you used.
That's something that I find about her video. The practicallity. Don't get me wrong, I like her videos and tips, and they actually help me tremendously to build my capsule wardrobe. However, her shoes recommendation is always a miss for me since we have different lifestyles and climates. I love my ballet flats and heels, but at the end of the day I will always opt for my trainers because they are more comfortable to wear 3 - 4 hours of walking and constantly have to move. And it will not ruin our feet. The examples on this video are not meant to wear when you have to rush to catch the earliest commute and stand all day in your workplace. I just wish that she incorporates it more and take it into consideration of her styling because someone in my job would also like to look stylish without missing the practicality. I hope you can understand what I mean since English is not my first language.
@kaphy - I so agree! When Uggs were in style, the Toronto salty slush destroyed them & when Hunter (rubber) boots were in style, they were slippery and my feet were always freezing. Meanwhile, my docs have been workhorses. Practicality trumps fashion sometimes, eh?
Lydia Style Personality is clearly a ‘Classic’ - however this isn’t everyone’s style type; for those of us who suit more ‘Dramatic’ styles, the constant neutrals would be bland and boring … but on Lydia they look timeless and elegant. You can have brighter & bolder colour & styles which are not cheap and tacky!
So true! I was almost offended when she knocked on the Doc Martens. IMO this "industrial" type of style looks great on Natural and Gamine types and probably some others too
Completely agree. Not everyone wants to wear things that don't stand out. I am so bored of boucle jackets and neutrals. Dont get me started on blazers.
Totally agree! Bright & bold, “dramatic”( I will never (🤘🏼😜) stop weaving a touch or two of “punk”into my outfits, even on my most “classic/elegant/timeless attire” days😉), is not only great fun, but if done right, it can look both “expensive” and elegant (as opposed to “cheap and tacky”😉).
But I do feel that getting the wrong “hue” for your skin tone - especially with bright colours, as well as “settling” for certain types of reeeally synthetic fabric, that are often used for bright & bold clothes, can quickly take things from “dramatic” to “decidedly dodgy”. It’s not easy getting it “right”, especially when shopping online or in shops with bad lighting😏.
Completely agree, it had to do with personal style, plus I think black does not suit her, she should look to adding more colors
Docs will always be a fan favourite and timeless classic piece. Disagreed with a few of the styles you mentioned on the don't's list. Interesting video.
Your videos are also helpful to us older ladies who want to know what's stylish and keep current. Thanks Lydia. ❤
Means a lot, thank you 🤍
Exactly! I think I've bought a lot of the "avoids" (white stitching, wrong toe shape") and couldn't figure out why it didn't look quite right. You have a gift, Lydia!
I truly appreciate your take in fashion and trends without making us feel as though we are always doing the wrong thing. Thank you.
@@LydiaJaneTomlinson high heel tryon collection?
I love this format. Details to avoid and particularly those to specifically seek that separate and elevate were terrific . Soooo helpful. More like this, please.
I’m so pleased that it translated and you know what I mean! Thank you for the feedback ❤️
I think the top part of the shoe is called the vamp
I like a do's and don't presentation. It is also very useful when you put the do and don't side by side. Would love to see styling videos with using outfits with loafers and ankle boots.
Love the video but I have to disagree with the Docs. They’re timeless and always cool.
I absolutely loved the format of this video! For us who's working on building our wardrobe staples, its so easy to not really notice those details and end up not happy with our buy. And for me, as someone who moved from a country with hot weather to a country with cold weather, those deeper inputs are really new and being all learned now. Thank you so much!
Too late. Already bought my chunky loafers 😆
This sounds like your personal opinion not “fashion” guidelines
Love a platform, edgy look. As you get older , looking typical to me ages you. Karen Britchick wears lots of chunky shoes and has for years, they look great on us taller ladies. Platforms as also good if you don’t want to wear heels ( perfect for those longer flare pants)
I agree 100%, your body and personality dictate your style, not your age. I just bought a pair of chunky white sneakers and I'm 37.
@@oldtimesongFlats just look horrid on me.
I cannot do ballet flats. They just look out of place on my feet. Love a good loafer
Ballet flats are great for those with ballerina legs! If you've got cankles or a fuller calf, best to be avoided I think .Great content always ❤
I got hooked on your videos a year ago and have learned so much. You have truly helped me develope my style and curate my new closet. I'm 60 years old and finally feel polished, sophisticated and more myself. I retired so I needed to go into new phase in my wardrobe and you have certainly helped me get there. Keep up the great work and I loved this fall shoe video!
As a country American girl living in the south, we absolutely adore western boots and they are a staple in our wardrobes. Ankle, mid calf and tall cow girl boots! Are must haves!!!!
Same! From a PNW girl!
Immediately had the same thought.
I have seen western boots coming in hard as a trend or micro trend… But I understand what you’re saying… Western cowboy boots will never be out of style, depending on where you live, and what you love!
I recently bought an embroidered western boot. It’s lovely and I don’t feel like a caricature. But I live in America so maybe that helps.
Right on
Disagreed with some styles on the “dont’s” list. Docs are a classic item, timeless, edgy.
Love this!! Slightly disagree about avoiding the doc martens, though I agree about the style you showed being a little much. I have them in the regular (less chunky) soles and love wearing them with tights and some skirts, or with black skinny jeans and a slightly chunky sweater (jumper)!
Yes I think maybe it depends on the exact style! Also this is just my opinion and that’s the beauty of style, we all love different things and wear them differently! ❤️
Agree.
Agree Completely! Exactly how I like to style them too. And so comfy once broken in.
Exactly 😊
I’ve been watching deconstructing videos of famous makers. A better boot without the yellow stitching can be had for less money. You’re paying for the name…these are not your mother’s Doc Martins…which she probably still has from the 80s. I have a pair of Timberlands that I’ve had since the late 80s and the soles are flat but the upper is still great…still waterproof. The newer ones mostly made in China just don’t compare. This is true of Docs as well. Even the Made in England variety don’t compare.
What makes your loafers so cool is the overall design of the vamp. Little details are what makes them so special. 👍🏼
This Alberta girl is never giving up her cowboy boots! ‘berta proud❤
I bought a pair of combat boots with laces and zips. I did it because I was tired of coming home and struggling to get my boots off. Getting them on wasn’t a walk in the park either. The leather is gorgeous too. (They cost an arm and a leg at net-a-Porter.) They style up with just about anything. On AND off in seconds, and so edgy. I’m not giving these up. I can see the attraction to a minimalist plain pair of Chelsea boots, but I’d get a classic style in brown. Other than that I love your videos Lydia. You’re really helping me with a number of style conundrums and this one has been helpful too.
Cowboy boots will always speak to Americans. They are part of our heritage. I can't wait for Fall season so I can get mine out. We live in Arizona and it's a way of life.
Yes we were ours year round in Northern California but everyone here usually lives on a ranch except for the SF folks moving in.
Thank you, Lydia. This kind of video is extremely informative to me. Sometimes when I am cleaning out my closet, I ask myself "Why did I purchase this?" It is so helpful to know what a quality is basic, so that you don't go out and waste your money on so many trends that you might not have thought was a trend at the time. Even some of the embellishments I am guilty of purchasing. I think I have a pair of dress shoes with a Diamonte square buckle on it, thank God they are black, and it is a more subtle dark stone on the toe. I like good quality clothing and am so over trend clothing. I feel better in neutrals and basics. But as I get older, I am interested in keeping modern (not younger) but it is so hard to know modern from trendy.
So VERY helpful! By showing the "no" and the "go", you definitely teach great lessons! Thank You!
Great formula for a very informative post! Please continue this way: coats, jackets, pullovers etc just everything😁 Your arguments against are more Important than you can imagine. You are teaching us to choose a good style. Thank you!
I loved this video! 💕 Great criteria to evaluate or build a fall shoe wardrobe. The elegance and timelessness of simplicity was right on point. I would love to see a video on blazers in the same format. Thank you!
Your detailed explanation of what to avoid and why, followed by suitable replacements, was super helpful especially when you explained the reasons behind your recommendations. Looking forward for similar videos ❤
I love the old classic penny loafer and ballet flat. I really like the oxblood color for loafers. Goes with everything.
A great new format! Sooo helpful 🔥 Please, include knee- high boots next time 🙏
Noted! 🥰🥰
yes I absolutely love this format Lydia! Please give us more ! also when you are decluttering some of your pieces, maybe you could show us what didn't work for you and why and some alternatives? Thank you 💜
Ohh I so second this! Love that idea for a video!
This is very helpful Lydia. You did a similar one a few years ago showing the difference between black versus navy trousers that I’ve never forgotten. Happy to see more examples contrasting what doesn’t work with what does. Maybe something on knit outfits as I find them hard to put together properly.
Love your videos! I'm also so thankful you reminded me about pulling out my docs for this fall LOL. I love your more simple suggestions as well!
I appreciate hearing your thoughts on a very detailed level. Helpful to consider these specific elements when shopping for similar styles. Sometimes these types of “fall shoe trend” videos are too generic. Thank you!
Omg yes the exact video I needed! For the last couple of months I’ve thought about what to get to update my shoes
Yay so pleased to hear that this will be useful! ❤
Your black ballet flat with the strap remind me of the ballet shoes I wore for square dancing 60 years ago. They cost between $3-$6.
One of my favorite videos, thanks Lydia! This was incredibly useful for people like me who are looking to elevate their wardrobe. It is very important for me to invest in pieces that I know I will be able to wear a lot. Please make more videos like this 🤍 looking to invest in a coat this season so I would love your recommendations.
Dear Lydia! This is unbelievable! I was about to head over to your channel and search for a video on fall loafer advice!!! My feed served your video right when I needed it!! Such great content!! Love your channel!
I found an affordable ballet flat with the Mary Jane strap at Old Navy for $24. It doesn’t have the little bow and has the square toe. They’re comfortable with cushioning
It's sooo useful to me, explains what I could not get before. Thanks to you it's been a while since I started changing, minimalizing my word robe and as I age I look better, thanks to you and your channel!
I also love this community here.. esp when I hear ppl talking abt their must haves whether it be Western Cowboy boots, Dr Marten’s or Chelsea boots!
I think it’s such a reflection of our environments and even cultural influences!
I also respect how Lydia stands her ground on no Barbie core and no red 🙂.
For me pockets of red and animal prints are neutrals! 😊 And so are delicate print blouses. That’s where I feel me!!
No Manolos for me as well. Sling back kitten heels with socks..it’s dope! 👌
Much love Lydia…❤
Love your videos..First one I’ve really been - nope! disagreed with over 50% of the content especially around white trainers…it’s a bit ‘general’. What goes around comes around in fashion and it’s how you style things. Apart from this do love your videos Lydia. Said with love x
Unfortunately if you are a size 42.5 or 43 you just don't have the luxury of choosing something that you like. You just have to put up with whatever you can find that fits you.
Unfortunately more and more shops seem to have made the decision lately to only stock up to size 41.
I love those Other Stories slingbacks, especially as they have a low heel. Unfortunately they only go up to size 41, despite OS stocking other styles in a 42. And as they are a pointed toe I'd probably need a 43.
I'm so jealous of people that are able to buy shoes based on what they like!
Luckily trainers are fashionable at the moment so I can live in mens trainers.
Your videos are the best ever ❤ the way u introduce ur topic is so much interesting and ur content is inspiring 😊
Thank you so much 🥰 that’s so lovely of you to say and very much appreciated!
Love this new twist of video with more specifics of why certain style doesn't and does work. Very educational. Thanks
Loved this format! So straight forward and educational! Thank you! ❤❤❤
Your shoe examples and explanations are so helpful! I agreed with everything you said, but needed your help to know what details to avoid and what styles to look for. Shoes are especially difficult because comfort is a real issue for me. I find that my feet do best in quality shoes made with 100% leather. Synthetic linings make my feet sweat and they don’t have enough give.
Please, please, please do more videos like this!
Very interesting format of video, Lydia, thank you🙂, of course everything depends on a personal style, but I can relate to everything you said here and I will agree with many others who asked for more of these videos for different types of pieces, for me it is about coats and in general about autumn winter jackets, thank you❤
Very good segment, would definitely like more of these. Now I have details to think about while purchasing shoes. I would also love a video showing how to pair boots with skirts, pants etc. I’m especially having trouble figuring out what to wear with fuller midi skirts for fall and winter
Lydia, you wear your clothes so well and I do agree with you about this video.
Thank you ❤
Great video. I would love to see one on how to pair footware to clothes. For example, the ankle boots with a few different bottoms that work with them etc..
I feel that your style is classic and timeless, which means that what you buy is an investment that will stand the test of time, saving money in the long run. It’s also ok to buy something trendy every now and again if you love it. Very useful advice in your video, enjoyed it.
I needed this! Thank you so much!!! ❤ This is awesome!!!
Interesting I never paid much attention to what "looks" cheap or not vs what actually is. I guess I assumed that if an item costs alot if money it won't look cheap. Thanks for calling my attention to these details.
I loved this format. It is incredibly helpful to someone who shops second hand. I like learning about the little details. As someone who goes for a trendy piece and then wishes it looked more quiet luxury, this translates and shows the why. Could you please share your lipstick shade? I think it would be perfect for my daughter’s wedding.
Very useful, also because you mentioned cheaper alternatives, will be good to do on boots ( knee ones) and also handbags
Thank you! Noted on next topics!🥰
I like how you have added what to replace instead - very helpful. I was looking for a boot that would last year without going “out of style” and chose Dr. Martens however these have the black stitching as I wanted something minimal.
Love all of your videos but this one is particularly useful because it is so specific. Thank you
Great advice. My big issue is my bad feet. I just can’t do the sling back shoes anymore. No more pointed toes at age 70 years old. Agony comes to mind.
I have taken to Frye Harness boots….good arch support and lots of toe room. The black ones can go from garden to the theater…with a bit of shoe cream. And when looking down at your feet the toe design makes your feet look slim….and mine are not…Flintstone Feet….not Wilma but Fred.
SO SO HELFUL! Thank you very much for coming up with this great idea and please keep going with with format🙏🏻
This was really helpful. I’d love a video on which boots and shoes to wear with different shaped/coloured trousers and jeans for autumn and winter. With a limited budget I struggle to find the most versatile pieces when I need them to keep me warm and when walking distances. Thank you!
This video was very helpful. I watched it yesterday, and today purchased several pair of shoes according to the guidelines and they honestly look so good . This video saved me a lot of time . I want to see other similar guiding video about bags, knits, pants, jeans and outwear
I throughly enjoyed this video- thank you! More like this please ❤
So helpful. And timely. Love the fonts and then dos. Thanks!
I found this video very helpful and I would love a series like this. One suggestion would be to do one about handbags. Thank you!
You are my "go to" stylist on UA-cam. I love your style and presentation. At 54yr old, i dont want faddy trends that last a few month, i much prefer simple ageless outfits that look stylish rather than trendy. 🤗🥰 thankyou
Love this style of video Lydia! You were clear these are simply your opinions about certain items, so I do not understand the negative comments and I hope it doesn’t put you off this type of video in the future.
This is a style channel, not a political campaign one, you do not need to please all of the people all of the time 😂. I for one prefer honest opinions versus “nice” ones when it comes to style and the beauty of an opinion is I can consider it and still make my own mind up about my preference 🙌🏻❤️
I really enjoy your content. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Love this! A follow-up with how you’d style these would be so fun!!
Always look forward to your videos. I believe the term is "vamp," which is the top portion of the ballet flat that covers the toes.
Oooh I’ve never heard that before! You learn something new everyday! Thank you for sharing!
Excellent video agree on all the points you made! Am in my 50’s and I take the great styling tips from you Lydia thank you ❤
Loved this style of video Lydia. Very useful!
Interesting ideas. My younger son bought me a pair of Docs for Christmas two years ago after I said I liked his (not platform soles). They have been perfect for the rainy west coast winters here in Canada. Four years ago my older son bought me black leather Van loafers, again great for our rainy fall and winter. In the spring and summer I wear a pink or black ballet flat with criss cross ankle detailing (I have skinny ankles). I don’t like heels of any kind so the ankle detail is nice. It all comes down to what works for your feet…and your climate 😊
I will paint the stitching
Been watching your content for a while, but this is a first time that I have something you shared. I agree with that slingbacks from & other stories. It is so soft and elegant. I have it in beige. ❤
I just purchased platform white sneakers 👟…I’m very short and need extra height 😊. They were not cheap sneakers.
These jeans with this coat???? Stunning on you! It’s the shape. Fits perfectly
I've been debating about buying a loafer, and after this I know i'll feel more confident about my final choice :)
Thank you, very interesting!
I would have liked to have pictures, exemples of how you wear them. Jeans or pants out or in, because I’m not that good in this. 😂
I had a feeling the dr.martens highlighted would be a little controversial for some haha BUT I decided to sell a few pairs of mine (the platform ones) as they have been in a box for a year, i try them on, create an outfit and then won’t go out in them.. but I like the look of them!
Instead I’ve ordered a simple, plain leather pair of Chelsea boots from M&S after watching this and I feel better that the wardrobe is minimising and I’ll have a daily pair of Chelsea boots I won’t have to ‘work’ so hard to make work for me in my wardrobe x thank you Lydia
Loved this video!! Keep ‘‘em coming ❤❤
I like the helpful hints here Lydia ❤
I clocked on this video bc I value your advice and I was happy to see this type of video on your channel.
I really enjoyed the style of this video. Thanks for sharing!
I love this format. Thanks for the tips Lydia. I really like the slingbacks from Other Stories and I'm tempted to buy them but would you wear them in winter with tights? And if so, what kind? Thanks!
I love your tips Lydia!
Very timely video. (I'm in the market for a pair of loafers and was really confounded by the options.) Thnx for pointing me/us in the right direction. 💗🌿
Thank you for this vid!! I’m literally currently looking for a good fall basic shoe
Wonderfully formatted video! Please make more like this ❤
Love this video, Lydia 💗 I now know I need a pair of sling back heels!
Oh no! I have a pair of trainers with gold detail. 😮 I do love them and they are too comfy to give up. 😅
I love this format!
Very helpful video! Thank you! Wait for the series =)
Love all the suggestion, it act as a guide to what to consider. Great video ❤
brilliant - you are so STYLISH!!!
Great advice!! I’m having really hard time finding comfy loafers! 😗
More of this helpful format please Lydia ❤
Great video!! Love to see more of this type of format
… ALWAYS avoid shoes that make you look like you are wearing spare tires on your feet ! … regardless of whether they are trending or not … !
Touche!
😂😂😂 you nailed it!
