The best way to Look chic in cheap clothes is: be slim 👍👍👍 i have noticed in my live when I lost weight, I Looked gorgeous in all clothes I tried. And when my belly was growing I Lookd terrible in all. So I try every Day to Stay slim - it safes money in 2 directions: food and clothes 🤣🤣🤣 and i See it every Day on a lot of woman: slim women can try so much different ideas and layerings and Look well. Women with more Kilos often Look cheap and unforeable
My biggest go to source is thrift stores. I found a gorgeous black blouse with white polka dots, it is silk. I paid $3 US. I sew, so if I find a good quality item, I restyle it into what I want. I refuse to shop fast fashion. I prefer recycling vintage pieces. My grandmother was my role model. She was a young adult during the Great Depression. I learned everything at her hip. She had a really nice wool coat from the 1950's. It was navy. When I was a child, she made me a coat out of it. She reused the lining as well. We designed it together. I got to choose the buttons for it. I chose some red, white, and navy buttons. I was a huge "That Girl" fan. I was 3 1/2. My coat looked just like one Anne Marie arlo Thomas) wore on the show. My grandmother surprised me with a hat very similar to the one she wore with it on the show. Needless to say, my Barbies had amazing coture clothing! 😁 I miss my grandmother so much. I am so thankful for her lessons on style, and on being presentable. In High School, I always raided her vintage clothes. One of my favorites was a blue patterned silk Grace Kelly collared dress. I have all of her dresses, purses, gloves, and hats. 💜💜💜
I love this, especially that your grandmother made you a coat from hers but like Marlo Thomas wore! What an act of love! My mother would let me design clothes and then we would go fabric shopping together and she’d make the clothes. She also made my Barbie doll clothes that I would design. How fortunate we were both to have them as re models but also to have worn the results of their labors of love for us. As a result of that experience, I do love couture clothing. It’s rarely in my price range, unless I see it at a consignment or thrift shop (yes, I have seen Chanel and Armani at the Comm. Ave, Boston, MA Goodwill! May your memories of your grandmother live on!
I love thrift stores too and have saved a fortune there over the years. I can do basic hand sewing but I wish I could use a sewing machine. Can anyone recommend good sewing tutorials on UA-cam please?
I agree with your feeling about the different leopard print clothing. I feel like one of the updated themes of animal prints for this season is that it is slightly more abstracted (more simple) in pattern and not exactly like the animal print looks from the 80s.
I have tried to wear leopard (I’m 58) and I just feel like I am looking like my Mom. I have one scarf that is leopard print and that is about all I am comfortable wearing. But I would totally rock that skirt. It is funny how just updating the print changes the vibe. Well done.
That’s why I buy designer items from consignment shops….I bought a beautiful Mui Mui brown leather large bag and then found out it’s Prada…hahaha Champagne taste beer budget ❤
Please do more of this type of video/ content! The pieces you chose are lovely! I agree comfort vs. higher priced items: comfort wins especially if it looks lovely!! Have a blessed week!!
Darling Frédérique, the way clothing is cleaned can prolong its life. I wash everything on a delicate setting, cold or cool water, in the washing machine, then either hang on good hangers or dry on a rack. If I put clothing in the dryer I use a low heat setting/delicate setting. I have tops I have bought at Walmart! years ago that still look great. I also keep the fabric “pills” shaved off on inexpensive sweaters and knit tops. Proper care will definitely make a difference if your clothing budget is small and expensive clothes are not possible for you. Much love to you, sweet woman….from Alabama, USA. 😊🇺🇸❤
I agree that linen shirts from H&M are terrific value. I bought a $40 one last month and I love it. I've seen similar at Witchery here in Australia for $100+. And while the quality mightn't be quite as good as the Witchery ones, it's all how you style the shirt. And $40 suits my budget 😀. I love videos like this one where you show us some hidden gems and ideas for not spending much but looking great. xx
It would be interesting for you to purchase comparable recycled clothing from Poshmark or Stitch Fix. What is the minimum amount can you spend and still hit the mark?
I bought the animal print skirt from Amazon after watching your Bad Ass video. It is awesome! The leopard print is modern; it looks great on. And, while I am attracted to leopard (often), I will not wear it a lot and do not want a lot of pieces. This skirt was so perfect to meet my occasional itch to wear leopard. Thank you so very much for this budget friendly option!! (I’m sure the Naomi Wild Things skirt I found from Realisation Par is lovely, but it is $190!!). You rock!!
Another tip: ensuring the fit is appropriate for your body type. Sometimes sizing up or down makes the difference. Also, if the shoulder seam or hem is not quite right, you can take the item to a good local seamstress. I had a pair of pants hemmed and it made all the difference and the price was very reasonable. 💫
I love these videos! I love a good bargain, meaning good quality for a good price. You should check out Quince. They carry some beautiful silk, cashmere and linen pieces for a really good price. The larger sizing is limited but I have found the quality to be impeccable.
I agree with you, the leopard shirt is not flattering and the black shirt is awesome. The other items that you selected are wonderful as well. You’ve an outstanding eye for quality. You go, girl! 🎉
You are sooo right on the "cheap" looking items - the videos of you wearing them is exactly as you said - ageing, cheap - the opposite of chic. I'm now motivated to go through my hanging clothes this week to rid myself of past mistakes. I appreciate your mentioning fabric weight, textures, and the style of buttons to help judge quality appearance. I also agree with your recommendations for climate over 'fashion' because I'm in Florida US where it's hot, hot, hot, all year long. I have a half-dozen pieces I would enjoy quite a bit if I were traveling North in winter months, but I'm not! So it's money wasted and I'll look into online sale maybe. Wonderful video!
💐Frederique: 💖Love your chic ideas & insights on how to elevate our looks in a more timeless & classic way. You're so right, you can look fabulous for less when you're a super savvy shopper🛍. More emphasis needs to be put on our evaluating fashion details〰️esp. cost per wear. Clearly, it's not always how much you spend 🧾 that determines quality, value or overall style... 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Bonjour Frederique! Loved this video! Please make more. I do believe that you can be smart with your money. The best is not always expensive! Love you! 😘 XOXO
I think it’s possible to find some gems without paying out lots of money. You are absolutely right. Well done Frederique. I have found some great clothes without spending too much. Love L🌺🌺
Oh no, Frederique... This morning I was driving to work nice Niepodleglosci Avenue, nicely dressed in my animal print Zara shirt. And guess what, I thought why not to listen to my favourite Chanel on YT. And few minutes later I felt cheap and lost all confidence. You are too cruel 😉 Fortunately I'm wearing the shirt under black cashmere sweater (Warsaw it's not Australia in October). Besides I watched Marie-Anne Lecoeur (also my YT style consultant, although completely different type then You, but I like both of You) and she gives many ideas how to style the leopard print shirt. Maybe she will inspire you ;P
I was revisiting this video - I actually purchased the same sweater from Amazon after watching this the first time. It was so cute, but - the one I received was flawed in the dye, the black area had a large faded splotch right in the front, it almost looked like a shadow or reflection initially, then I realized it was defective and back it went. I didn't take a chance on reordering. It's too bad it didn't work out, it probably would have been a winter favorite!
Hi Frederique, thanks for the video. I agree that Zara clothing quality is not as good as it used to be. If you are looking for affordable good quality pieces try Uniqlo (I haven’t seen in your channel yet) x
Love the Shein polka dot pink blouse and the amazon stripes Brighton sweater. The truth is most of these clothes come form similar factories and the only thing you're paying for is advertisement and company branding. So I agree sometimes cheaper can be better if you know how to analyze the garments in the stores when you're shopping. Online its always hit or miss. Zara's clothes keep getting cheaper in quality the only thing I always find consistent are there coats.
So happy to see this - just had to thrift some things for my upcoming trip from 85 degree south Texas to 58degree Chicago. I did not want to spend a lot! So Goodwill & Walmart hooked me up.
I only "buy new" if Iʻve searched all over the online thrift stores and the thrift stores in my area and still canʻt find what I want. Better for the environment. While I was listening to your video -- excellent, by the way -- I scored an amazing menswear all-wool pair of Nordstrom trousers in olive, a shade that matches my eyes. I make mistakes doing it this way too -- the fabric itches and I have to re-donate it, or the shoes are a bit too tight and I have to re-donate them -- stuff like that. I feel way less guilty this way than when I spend a lot of money for something that doesnʻt fit or look right. Also, I know that one of my "three words" (from Alyssa Beltempo) is "natural" and another one is "textured." I go for natural fibers: merino, silk, cashmere, wool, linen, leather, cotton, and over time I know that if I get something in a man-made fiber Iʻm going to eventually hate it, so I just donʻt even bother. To me, "cheap" clothing is anything in a man-made fiber, and I know I will end up ignoring it in my closet. I can find low-priced natural-fiber clothing at the thrift stores for the most part, and if I just give up and order something new, itʻs lately been coming from Quince.
Don't forget secondhand leather jackets are great! For Londoners I recommend Portobello market on a Saturday. Got a lovely vintage biker jacket there for £35, mint condition. No money going to animal abuse. Still promoting leather I suppose but at least it's better than buying new.
I agree there both not the best and truly there are very few companies that check all the boxes. And the few that have good morals and values are personably to affordable for me, right now. I’ve boughten shein twice, only classic pieces out of fabrics that I enjoy and I know will last me many many years. That doesn’t make them a good company but we honestly probably are trying our best. ❤️
I agree. However, if nothing else. Focus on wearability. Shein isn't great but rather buy something you'll wear 20 times than only once and then you never wear again.
The fast fashion tragedy won’t end overnight, sadly. It will take everyone being responsibly buying over many years to get on the right track again. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it. It applies across the board - be responsible, buy quality and care for what have and soon enough money will speak.
I loved the video. !! I too love blazer but it’s very difficult to wear them in hot Florida. Maybe you could find some (summer) blazers or perhaps show us how to look stylish in a steaming weather. Thank you again. 🤗.
Great job & advice! However, I would say that if you are on a budget, it is all the more reason not to buy cheap, 'fast' fashion because sometimes they don't even survive a gentle wash and you will always have to spend more to replace. It is far better to save that money and buy a few good quality classics that will last. Lots of brands make true quality, medium priced clothes.
Hi Frédérique, The leopard-print blouse you can only save by tying it losely in a knot at the waist and wearing a plain white camisol under it to soften the look!
If you're in the uk primark have faix leather biker jacket and they also have beige trench coats both really good quality i own both from other years £15 each ive Had mine years still look great
Reton is very interesting thanks ... You can please make a video on luxury bags like Chanel. Is the value of the bag worth the crazy price they are now taking. In your opinion what do you prefer in terms of Chanel or Dior quality ??? I would love for such a video. i like very much your feni bag ❤
Great video. I love leopard print, I think the blouse is too baggy, not tailored enough. Love your stripe top and sweater. I have cheap tops I love way more than very expensive ones. The fit is critical more so than the material!
Thank you for comparing the two leopard prints. I agree with you: the skirt has a more modern print, and it looks chic, whereas the opposite is true of the blouse.
I often order things from Shein - I know the company is controversial - but if I do not want to spend money on trends that is my go-to. I then check the cloth, especially the seems and fitting, and take out my sewing machine and fix what has to be fixed and the cloth looks fabulous and tailored. Nobody would assume they are from Shein they look high-end - you only have to make sure you only buy the better fabric ones. And I own some of this cloth for years. Yes, they take a little DIY to make them look great but it saves you tons of money. Sometimes only changing the buttons makes the biggest difference and is not that expensive.
I normally avoid shirts/blouses made from "placement pattern" fabric, as they remind me of the uniforms that bank tellers used to wear. The black satin shirt is the most chic and suits you the best Frédérique. 👱♀️❤
I love satin or silk shirts. The key for me is the fit. If it’s too large or the sleeves too long, it sort of looks grumpy. I suppose you can tie the shirt I front and roll up the sleeves, but again if it’s so big in the shoulders..hmm…again it looks frumpy. Most of the shirts look good on you. I noticed that the satin they sell now are not the same quality as the ones I used to own in the 80’s and 90’s. Quality is difficult to find unless you want to spend $$$. It’s a shame. I’ve had a faux leather jacket for 8 years maybe 10 and it’s still beautiful and I get so many compliments when I wear it. It feels like lambs leather because it’s so subtle. I’ve even washed it in the washing machine and it came out great (much to my surprise).
I really enjoyed this video. I'm 5'2" also and I love the satin skirt and the print. I have a few amazon items thanks to you. Yes more like this one too.
The times when I have been stopped and told i look nice by strangers or they want to know where I bought my clothes its always been when I am wearing shien items there quality varies you buy their budget cheaper price clothes you get cheap clothes if you make a rule to buy items over £20 for dress and jeans trousers blazers and over £10 for tops you always get good quality there are certain brands within shien that the quality is always good emery rose is one of them shien frenchy shien privie ect.....
Price does not predict quality when it comes to clothing. I have found some cheap pieces that defy its price. You have to train your eye to spot those finds. My daughter shopped with me as she grew up and I apparently taught her something. When we shop, she can come back with some awesome finds.
News flash. Cheap is cheap. You cannot disguise cheap - as in “trashy.” Pure silk trumps cotton or poly. The drape, look from right and wrong side of fabric is totally different, feel, durability, finishing, seaming - no comparison. And really - why pretend you are something you are not. Clean, neat, and well turned out is a matter of personal choice - Not a price tag. And - stop wearing underwear as outerwear - as is “tights” as slacks. Fashion designers are total liars that women look good in too tight pants. If you would not wear pantyhose as pants, why would any self-respecting woman be convinced that tights are outerwear?
The best way to Look chic in cheap clothes is: be slim 👍👍👍 i have noticed in my live when I lost weight, I Looked gorgeous in all clothes I tried. And when my belly was growing I Lookd terrible in all.

One thing that really shines through in your videos is your zest for life. I think the French call it panache 😍 You have a terrific attitude!

Those clothes you showed looking good 😊 like the animal print. Second one looks good definitely see the smile you had.
Very helpful video as we all dont have the money for designer clothes but iis so good to look classy and stylish on a budget .thank you Frédéric xxxx
I like that you are so real. Thank you for bringing us such great videos about how to remain in style, looking amazing, all within a budget.
Bonjour Frédérique! Love love this kind of videos! I'm waiting for the next one! 😉 Thank you!!!
Coming soon x
Génial, ce vidéo, merci! La chemise léopard, gardez-la comme pyjama d'intérieur, comme cela, rien n'est perdu!
Yes love love this video. One of my favorite.
Hi Frederique, thanks for the video. I agree that Zara clothing quality is not as good as it used to be. If you are looking for affordable good quality pieces try Uniqlo (I haven’t seen in your channel yet) x

Hi Frederique, i love this video. Can you put in the shoppinglinks?
Adore the smiles and laughter. Great comparisons, too.
Love your style. Shein is a major contributor to environmental decline. Please think of that too 🙏🏽
I agree there both not the best and truly there are very few companies that check all the boxes. And the few that have good morals and values are personably to affordable for me, right now. I’ve boughten shein twice, only classic pieces out of fabrics that I enjoy and I know will last me many many years. That doesn’t make them a good company but we honestly probably are trying our best. ❤️
So are all brands we use. Zara has a very bad rap, both environmental and human rights-wise…
textile and printing industry are the MAJOR industrial polluters all over the world
I agree.
However, if nothing else. Focus on wearability. Shein isn't great but rather buy something you'll wear 20 times than only once and then you never wear again.

Like both white Cape blazer
Love fur and jackets good
Thank you Frederique for another beautiful video. May I ask what size white cape you purchased?
Wish I'd seen your video sooner,I brought the white satin shirt from Zara
So many likes Shein! Coz its not all items has bad quality.yes agreed sometimes its not all about price and brand to look good.
If you're in the uk primark have faix leather biker jacket and they also have beige trench coats both really good quality i own both from other years £15 each ive Had mine years still look great

Bonjour Frederique! This was a very practical video. Please do more. ❤
I love satin or silk shirts. The key for me is the fit. If it’s too large or the sleeves too long, it sort of looks grumpy. I suppose you can tie the shirt I front and roll up the sleeves, but again if it’s so big in the shoulders..hmm…again it looks frumpy. Most of the shirts look good on you. I noticed that the satin they sell now are not the same quality as the ones I used to own in the 80’s and 90’s. Quality is difficult to find unless you want to spend $$$. It’s a shame. I’ve had a faux leather jacket for 8 years maybe 10 and it’s still beautiful and I get so many compliments when I wear it. It feels like lambs leather because it’s so subtle. I’ve even washed it in the washing machine and it came out great (much to my surprise).
I really enjoyed this video. I'm 5'2" also and I love the satin skirt and the print. I have a few amazon items thanks to you. Yes more like this one too.
U are a savvy style guru. Big kisses...I luv your content.

The times when I have been stopped and told i look nice by strangers or they want to know where I bought my clothes its always been when I am wearing shien items there quality varies you buy their budget cheaper price clothes you get cheap clothes if you make a rule to buy items over £20 for dress and jeans trousers blazers and over £10 for tops you always get good quality there are certain brands within shien that the quality is always good emery rose is one of them shien frenchy shien privie ect.....

Love this video. Thanks!
I own blazers like it
Where can I find the silk tank you have on?
Bravo excellente vidéo D’accord avec tout ❤
Price does not predict quality when it comes to clothing. I have found some cheap pieces that defy its price. You have to train your eye to spot those finds. My daughter shopped with me as she grew up and I apparently taught her something. When we shop, she can come back with some awesome finds.
I ordered the leopard print satin skirt. It’s several dollars less at the moment.
Fabulous x
News flash. Cheap is cheap. You cannot disguise cheap - as in “trashy.” Pure silk trumps cotton or poly. The drape, look from right and wrong side of fabric is totally different, feel, durability, finishing, seaming - no comparison. And really - why pretend you are something you are not. Clean, neat, and well turned out is a matter of personal choice - Not a price tag. And - stop wearing underwear as outerwear - as is “tights” as slacks. Fashion designers are total liars that women look good in too tight pants. If you would not wear pantyhose as pants, why would any self-respecting woman be convinced that tights are outerwear?
Bretton love
