It's interesting how "not working" actually is just "not trendy at the moment". A few years ago the before outfit was the first choice everywhere and after a while something else will be
No everybody’s sense of style is unique beautiful and individualistic. This lovely UA-camr actually looks amazing in everything she makes great points and I think probably could’ve exaggerated her examples a bit more to show her point she actually looks really good in everything!!! Her first “bad look” actually looks quite chic I think she’s just trying to explain about elevating basics to make them look a bit more smart and posh
How a person carriers themselves makes the outfit work or not too... I know its for the purpose of the video and I get that but the way she stands and ger demeanor and confidence levels in the before and after play a huge part to the outfit looking good or not too.
@@michellephung7038it might not be deliberate, she doesn't like the styling so she doesn't stand confidently. For me when i know i know I've found a winner in the changing rooms is when i start posing like her "do" poses, when i think it looks crap I just stand there looking like "what is this?".
So funny because to me, a skinny jean queen, those first trousers are not slim fit 😆 those are baggy to me. And I actually really like how that outfit looked. It looked professional and clean and it made your legs look super long. The baggier trousers are fine too but in my opinion, they’re too long on you. They’re dragging on the floor and rolling up on your feet. An inch or two off the bottom will give that relaxed look without looking ill fitting! Just my thoughts on the outfits but you’re beuaorufl 😊
I wear that same look quite often and I like it, as it has fast become my replacement for skinny jeans, and it looks quite smart. Horses for courses and all that.
I think, that first look with stripes blouse and more skinny trausers look way better than second option with loose trausers and sneakers, it look messy and not interesting..
The first look is actually very Audrey Hepburn- but it takes on a modern twist when you add the baggier trouser. Both are equally good, imo. Also, drop your staple brands! I'd kill to know where you shop, these pieces are so slick.
I’m a women in my mid 50’s and I love sophisticated comfortable clothes as well as natural looking makeup and effortless stylish hair. I’m a new subscriber and have already started to incorporate your tips. For example, I have a black linen spaghetti strap maxi dress, v- neck and v-back. I’ve never worn it as I’ve had it in my mind that it was dressy… with limited dressy events partly due to Covid… it has hung in my closet for nearly 3 years… today I pulled it on… put a tan wrap belt and tan flat sandals … pulled out a light wicker and tan oversized purse… simple hoop earrings. Sophisticated and cool in the late summer. No money spent and many compliments! Thanks!
I have a hard time finding looser clothing that is well fitting for me. I have a curvaceous hourglass figure so I often find that looser clothing winds ip looking frumpy or unflattering on me. I think all your tips are so on point though! Just not sure how to pick flattering and loose pieces
I’m hourglass in shape also and have learned that ANYTHING loose, just doesn’t work with my body type. I stick with fitted clothing and use different textures and interesting accessories to upgrade my look. As I have large breasts and hips, I would never wear think vertical stripes lol. Her body type works well with loose clothing.
Clothes that define the waist are a better option. For example, high waisted trousers that are fitted till the hips and slightly flared or loose at the bottom might work.
And it's not just you 🌞, women with curves might look bigger (in the wrong way) in oversized clothes and even without any curves, it can sometimes look off. It's all in the details for each and the lines. You have to know them. Let me know if you have anything in particular that doesn't work for you, I can help you clarify it🌞 (that's my work)
a lot of people said that the first outfit looks good because actually, the pants are not skinny fitted, it's slim fitted and arent narrow from the bottoms so it completely works fine, whereas it would definitely look wired if it was completely skinny ,secondly the stripe adds attention to the upper body more so it just overall works great
After binging your videos for the past 3 days one thing you've managed to cement in my brain is the importance of proportions. I love it, it makes me view shopping in a different way now.
1st outfit looks lovely on you, it's fitted but not too tight. Too tight does not look right on anyone. Let us not be sausages darlings! Lydia you're radiant!
I’m an aspiring character designer and have been having trouble with clothing, finding your channel helps a lot in referencing and inspiration. Thank you.
Eh, it depends on the person body type. A lot of these outfits changes can make a person look frumpy, or look unflattering on them, while for other people the outfit suggestions look quite nice
Exactly. You could wear a jute sack with a belt and bam you look stylish....Same goes the other way, I have been there ugh It is a lot of work to look semi ok when you have extra lbs/kgs.....
Except knee high boots, you end up swimming around in them and can only wear them under dresses or culottes. It has been a pain all my life. I will allow gaps in wellies or a deliberate loose biker, but the more lady like ones (Paris Texas style for instance) not a prayer on my calves and that is after going hard on them in the gym, just refuse to fill out a pair of knee boots, so skinny people can't wear anything and boots like that are a staple.
But that depends highly on the body type…. Not everyone will look boring in first outfit, and as good as you in the second. These are very personalised propositions. Just like tiny, revealing dress can look fashionable on very skinny girl, but it will feel like too much on curvy one (I am not saying that anyone has to avoid any style, just that the same piece of clothing gives different impressions depending on body wearing it)
Love it! Just that it’s funny, that fitting tight tops with tight jeans(so called, “skinny jeans”) was a huge fashion norm back in late 2000s to early 2010s. I guess trend always changes, and fashion rules change accordingly.
You are spot on. And apparently Lydia doesn't know that tighf fitting clothes are already back, again. Basically, both shapes are ok to wear and depends on your preference as well as some other things 🌞
These are such simple tips but the differences once you see it working is amazing. Totally liked and subscribed because I genuinely want to create a look book for myself.
The oversized blazer covering the skirt or shorts is an intentional look. It almost gives the vibe of wearing no skirt or trousers from the side (cheeky), but from the front view the shorts/skirt are easily visible, because the blazer is always worn open.
The first tip is absolutely spot on. If one item is tight, the other item needs to be looser. For example, if the shirt is tight, the bottoms need to be looser. If both are tight or loose, it doesn’t work. Both items that are too loose actually makes the person look frumpy and heavier than what she really is.
My issue with sloucy looks is that depending on body type/size, the slochier looks can give off messy and not put together. That fit doesn't compliment body shape and accentuate the body such as the waist, which can give a flattering look.
This is soo helpful. Especially the first one. I do struggle with that a lot. I always tend to pair tight fitting tops with tight fit jeans as well. Guess I'll have to balance it out
I have a bit of a problem with the use of layers to accesorize, if I put on a short sleeve and shorts it's because it's hot! So it makes no sense to put more clothes on!
before looks seem classic and chic. maybe lacking some jewelry. after are stylish, but modern-day-instagram-influencer stylish. for day-to-day life before makes much more sense
Agreed! Those slouchy pants are so impractical. They're going to pick up so much dirt and germs from the floor, show up in the color. Also wonder if one might trip wearing them 😅
@@nataliyasattarova9423 OMG, I do not want to worry about that with my clothes. I do feel the recent clothing trends have tailored towards influencer-nice-photo styles, not very practical if you need to walk a few blocks in public
The main take away is that some of these fashion ‘rules’ are kinda bs. The first outfit was elegant and by far the most put together, despite apparently being too basic
Hey, Lidia! Could you do a Summer version? I live in Brazil and sometimes it can be can to look polish when I am with t-shirts, shorts or dresses... thank you!
Tbh I think most of it is how she stands and her facial expression… most people pull anything off if they look like they feel comfortable in it / themselves
You are so right, proportion is key! The oversized blazer on shorter shorts looks very odd (especially from behind) as it looks like you forgot your psnts
It's interesting how "not working" actually is just "not trendy at the moment". A few years ago the before outfit was the first choice everywhere and after a while something else will be
It still is if you are Theatrical romantic.
She doesn't respect figure, just trends unfortunately. Never fails to mention that baggy is in now
I really prefer the first outfit. Do I have no sense of style?
I hear you, I think trousers in the first outfit don’t look very slim , the second one is just too loose, in my opinion.
@@AllergicToMakeBelieve what a great answer. Thank you. Yes I'll check your TED

Yes she does slouch in the before and stand confidently after. I think her point would still come across without the body language though!
Yes it's very deliberate
And she puts on shades on the 2nd outfit which elevates her look regardless of her clothes
@@hc7092 EXACTLY !

I actually thought the 1st outfit looked good on you, too. It was just the shoes that didn’t flow.
Exactly my thought!
I wear that same look quite often and I like it, as it has fast become my replacement for skinny jeans, and it looks quite smart. Horses for courses and all that.
Actually the first looks best with the stripes
I thought it was cute. I would probably trip over pants that long lol
I think, that first look with stripes blouse and more skinny trausers look way better than second option with loose trausers and sneakers, it look messy and not interesting..
Slim top and slim trousers...with a big jacket to create the contrast 🙌
Cute but im wearing shorts bc its 100 degrees outside

@@MyCrownstar you're doing it right, you have to show your figure in the right way, not hide it 😉.
The first option is fine, but you can add a loose-fitting jacket or blazer to get the contrast. Loose-fitting pants be a disaster if you're short.

As a curvy girl i find that wearing loos shirts doesn't flatter me. And wearing all fitting makes me look slimmer, or not bigger at least.
I’m an aspiring character designer and have been having trouble with clothing, finding your channel helps a lot in referencing and inspiration. Thank you.
anything with sunglasses looks stylish :D
I actually really liked the first basic outfit with the striped top better than the others 😂
Wow! The way you transformed these looks is actually amazing.
Stunning 👏🏼
The first outfit looks well fitting and elegant..like a Frenchwoman would wear 😍
Eh, it depends on the person body type. A lot of these outfits changes can make a person look frumpy, or look unflattering on them, while for other people the outfit suggestions look quite nice
When you are skinny you can just about wear anything and look good as long as it isn’t trashy
Exactly. You could wear a jute sack with a belt and bam you look stylish....Same goes the other way, I have been there ugh It is a lot of work to look semi ok when you have extra lbs/kgs.....
No? Who lied to you. Some clothes association just look horrible on everyone equally. Being skinny ≠ looking good.
@@babycakes8434 Not at all.

"The wrong way" there is no wrong way. I think the first one looked just as good. Everyone is individual.
Pretty good tips! I struggle with this. Mostly cause i cant be bothered to really plan, I throw on whatever’s “cute”. Like a short dress etc. Thanks.
Make time to find the correct fashion for your body type.
I like the first outfit.

Sure, definitely gonna wear the outfit no. 2 to office as a company lawyer…The no. 1 looks much better.
Oh love those loose trousers! Where are they from?
Lydia's tip to transform absolutely any outfit: a bLazer~
But the blazer was longer than the shorts, it looked like a robe.
The oversized blazer covering the skirt or shorts is an intentional look. It almost gives the vibe of wearing no skirt or trousers from the side (cheeky), but from the front view the shorts/skirt are easily visible, because the blazer is always worn open.

Right! I need these vids 👏🏼
My issue with sloucy looks is that depending on body type/size, the slochier looks can give off messy and not put together. That fit doesn't compliment body shape and accentuate the body such as the waist, which can give a flattering look.
This video really helped click that Basics are the base! It seems obvious now but thats what makes shorts like this useful! thank you!
I love how easy these flow together
I like these tips for making outfits look more stylish and modern ❤thank you

I actually really like the first outfit. I think it’s classic and would look great for a lot of occasions.
This is soo helpful. Especially the first one. I do struggle with that a lot. I always tend to pair tight fitting tops with tight fit jeans as well. Guess I'll have to balance it out
I think you just need to stand properly. 😂 Look how she's standing in the first outfit and the rest.
Girls wear whatever you like. You're BEAUTIFUL ❤️

First outfit looks much nicer. The second one is just trendier now with the baggy pants.
Your tips are so helpful ❤️
So helpful 🥰
I would have paired a coat /jacket in the first outfit only .I kinda liked the 1st one
Girl!!! Love throwing on a belt, always smarts up the look!!! 💞💞🙃💞💞

Love it! Exactly!
Learn about the kibbe types! It's amazing
depends on what body type you have

Your pronunciation... Always a pleasure... :-))
The first outfit looked fine as well. It just didn’t follow the accessories rule and could use different shoes
I like to pair plain colored shirts with layers of necklaces, bracelets and just simple blocky sandals
I can't wear black shorts and white shirt because it cuts me off and i look super short
The first outfit looked the best… the 3rd I wouldn’t be seen dead wearing 🫤
I think it’s just the sunglasses that make the outfits look better.
Sorry the first outfit looked better in my opinion. More elegant and feminine.
Where do I go in the shorts she posts to find links to what she is wearing 🤷🏼♀️
Fantastic!
You look like Morgan Stewart , You both look gorgeous 😍
If it’s too warm for the blazer would u wear a t shirt with open button down or change to a tank top? Should tank be fitted or loose? ❤😊
Where are your sunglasses from? There so on point for your looks!
Tbh I think most of it is how she stands and her facial expression… most people pull anything off if they look like they feel comfortable in it / themselves
Amazing! Thanks for the tips!!
Love the shorts
uau these were actually amazing tips! thanks
I’m tired of pants looking long and baggy. They don’t look like they fit correctly. I do understand that loose fitting is nice though.
