WARDROBE ESSENTIALS/BASICS: Closet tips from a stylist
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2017
- After much request in my Why You Have Nothing To Wear video, here is what I recommend being your wardrobe basics! These closet basics are something everyone should have in their closet in order to get the versatility you're looking for. These wardrobe essentials work all year round for women.
BTW, I apologize if the sound is bizarre -- my mic died on me during filming, so I had to go old school and rely on the camera mic. EEP!

Christie Ressel (
Short waist what to wear
I’m watching this next..
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you saying "buy the best quality you can afford."
It's so important to stick to a budget! Nothing worse than overspending and then feeling lousy about it. There are so many amazing affordable pieces available today. xo
me too
+1
I love the idea of a corporate basics video and how certain pieces can also be used for a wknd or drinks after work look.
Great suggestion! I'll definitely put something together for future. I love pieces that transition well. xo
Yes to a video on denim. This category has really exploded lately - so many different styles I'm in overwhelm.
Yes, it can be hard to know where to go! I'll put one together with suggestions for body-types and shopping locations for you all. :)
Wow subscribed! I love how you reply to everyone's comments addressing their problems! Will definitely be binging your videos today! 💓
Happy to have you apart of the community!
Thank you,; A basic wardrobe video for someone over 25. Minus the chambray shirt of course. ha ha I've always liked the look of a trench coat, but I've never owned one. Time to go shopping.
Chambray is ageless -- anyone can wear them! It's always a matter of how you style pieces. :)
MsLadyG2 I
Love your video's! You explain, give examples and reasoning so well. Really a joy to watch! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I just found your channel and am currently facing the challenge of replacing my entire wardrobe as I've ditched 35 pounds and am down two sizes. Plus my style seems to have changed. This video is not only informative but the information is actually useful. I'll definitely be keeping this information in my mind as I replace my wardrobe.
Good for you, that's amazing!! I'm so happy you found the video helpful! xo
livingdivanized way to go! Congrats on the weight loss!
I.am so GLAD I FOUND your channel... I have found that I already have most of these item...but have NO IDEA how to pair them up...Thanks so much!!!
Please do a casual wardrobe basics video for plus sizes, love from Pickering!
The basics for plus-size are still the same -- you'll just want the fabrics to be softer and more draping so they fall over your curves beautifully. :) I'll have some plus-size videos coming up though! :)
With all the different events I'm involved in, it's great to have Christie's tips on wardrobing. So refreshing!
I'm so thrilled you find it helpful! xo
New subscriber here.. you have 'THE' voice lol when you said 'are you still with me?' I hadn't realized how long I'd been watching this video 😅 you kept my attention the entire time lol love your tips! I definitely look forward to your future videos 😁
LOL, that's so sweet! I love to hear that you enjoyed the entire thing! So happy you got some useful information out of it and am so happy to have you apart of the community! xo
A video series on what outfits or garments are flattering for every body type would be really helpful!! Thanks for the precious advice! Much love!
I can't believe I'm doing this, but I am watching several of your videos a second time. This is one. I know I've heard many of these before, but in many ways, I'm starting all over again with figuring out who I am and what is my style. No matter what one's style, this information is valuable.
Glad you think so! 💗
This is awesome, thanks so much for sharing and making this video. My wardrobe has gotten stale, after 2 kids and not shopping for 3 years for myself, now I have an idea of where to start over thanks!!
New sub here! I'm so glad I found your channel. Love this video and looking forward to catching up on your others. You have great tips! You go so in depth as opposed to the videos that tell you the basics but lack innovative styling tips. I'm a standard size (US 8) hourglass and very busty so I tend to steer clear of oversized- makes me look like I'm a blob. I also have a white button down from White House/ Black Market- love that it has darts. I really appreciate that you included a variety of lifestyles and body types 👌🏼 And agree 💯 about chambray shirts. You are so beautiful and chic 😍
Thank-you so much! I appreciate the kind commend. I love being able to share styling tips with all of you that I use when with my clients. xo
this is great im learning heaps thanks, was thinking of sewing some shape into my straight blouses
Still here.i stayed to the end.so glad I’ve found you.wish I found you years ago.all these style tips are priceless thank you so much.im now heading to your other fantastic videos as well.have a great day from across the pond 🇬🇧🌈🇺🇸💕
I love how u talk, ur straight and clear and u have 'a thing' for fashion witch is great. Wish u all best ! :)
Thanks so much beautiful! xo
Very informative 😘! You are a natural teacher with great energy. This video is a must for every girl/woman. Thank you so much
Thank-you so much for the kind words and comment! That's so sweet of you! I hope everyone find it helpful.
Christie Ressel .you resemble a lot like Hannah from PLL....
And an office basics video would be great!
It will be up soon!
Christie, I’m so very happy I found your site. I’m going shopping for these special pieces, not all at once though. Thanks very much.
Just picked up your channel and so far I’ve loved everything that I’ve seen. You are full of energry and explain things well.
This video was so helpful! Thank you for making it!
You are so through and helpful, Thank you
You are so knowledgeable, thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and your heart with us too!
Christie thanks very much, this video was so helpful and I will definitely use many of your suggestions, I am truly appreciative of all your advice, I am going to binge watch some of your other videos. I am so happy I came across your Chanel, just awesome ❤️🌺💕
Super tips, thank you! And, yes I would like to see the tips for denim and office, mostly denim though. I love the way you show how to style these basics and I know you put a lot of time and effort in to it. Thanks again, glad I found your channel :)
I'm so happy you found them helpful! A office basics and denim video is on the way! :)
Denise Scull and
I agree with your suggestions. As a long waisted and short legged woman, I'd replace the midi-length black t-shirt dress with a mid-thigh length one. I have a defined waist and smaller bust, so I wear a modest neckline as part of my style. I'm getting a lot of mileage from my black dress. The fabric is substantial, yet the bottom can be folded twice and tucked into a pair of pants or jeans to serve as a blouse. I like how you focus on tailoring and quality fit. This makes an outfit work, as I'm not into many accessories; your advice is solid.
Girl yesss thank you for sharing!! I really enjoyed this! 👍💯
One of if not the best online stylist blog. Learning so much.
Thank-you! 💗💗
I'm in California & purchased a couple tees from Dynamite. Also one black tee with "straps" across the v neck. I love that they are tapered & give me shape. I think I will get a few more in a few different colors. Such great pieces to add to my closet. In the past 6 months I've pretty much replaced most of my closet. It was full, but I didn't wear anything but 5 pieces. I got rid of a lot & keep getting rid of more. It was jam packed with items I didn't wear! The complaint of so many woman!! Now I have pieces that coordinate. It's a start and you have been so much help. Thank-you!!
So happy to hear that! xo
I had a good laugh at the Canadian tuxedo comment....soooo true!! This was another great video and am glad to say that I have the basics. Phew! I tend to buy less expensive basics as I wear them so often, they get worn out quickly (example dark washed jeans fade or white tee is not as crisp after a few washes). As an aside, love your nail polish.....and also Happy 150!!
LOL, right? The Canadian Tux is something to be careful of! ;) Jeans shouldn't fade too quickly if you've got a good pair. Have you tried Yoga Jeans? They're in Jean Machine and I swear by them!!
I love that you are so articulate and clear. Some bloggers I've seen have great style but sound very ditzy when they speak and its a bit of a pet peeve of mine.
It's nice that you've included Canadian brands too. I'm not a huge fan of dynamite but would love to see you feature others in the future. Keep it up!
Thank-you so much! I'm a full-time personal stylist though, not a blogger. I will certainly include other Canadian brands in future; it's always important to support local talent!
"Get the quality you can afford"! Love this advice. :) I am soooo in love with your trench coat! Love the vanilla color. I went to the website. I didn't see anything close to it but I will keep looking. I have a traditional camel color trench and I rarely wear it ... I would wear the vanilla!!!! I can't decide if I am extremely sad right now that I can't find one or if I am happy because I saved the money because I couldn't find one.
Hi Christie, I just bought my first chambray shirt and denim jacket. Thanks so much for this video. Very helpful!
Hello again, Christie! Yes, I'm binge-watching tonight...Lol! CONGRATZ on 10K!!! U definitely deserve it and more! Oh yay, Ur "how to buy jeans" video is coming soon...really looking forward to that one! ;)) Tfs, LuvU&Later!
Aw, that's so sweet, thank-you! xo The jeans video is on the way!
I find your videos the most useful! Thank you for your recommendation.
This was an awesome video. I'm doing my wardrobe and have studied fashion. You made so simple. love your tone, mood, and everthing!
Thank-you so much! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed it. Xo
I am new to your channel, and I just love the way you put things together. I really love your personality. Thank you so much for the review.
Just came across your channel in my suggested feed and really enjoyed your videos. Great tips. Looking forward to watching more. Thanks for the info.
Thank-you so much! xo
YES PLEASE!!!! A work wardrobe of essentials/basics would be fab!!! Thanks, Christie.
One is already up on my channel hun! xo
Thank you for this video, Christie! I've been looking for outfit inspirations ever since I've become a stay-at-home mom this year (I also like how you mention SAHMs in your scenarios as well) and I know I won't be needing that much clothing. I'm on a journey of decluttering my closet but still keep the basics. This video is helpful. Subscribing from California! 😊
So happy you got some inspiration! xo

Christie, I love your videos so much. Each time I watch them I am finding something new I can use or do with things I actually have. Furthermore, you have been my helpful angel with a huge clear out I have been doing on my closet. I recently had microsurgery on both knees. Two ladies at church decided to "talk" to me about my weight which is why they felt my knees went (both meniscus popped out of place a month apart). I have been clearing out every heel and most of my boots I never wear. I am 54 and 5'7" and weight 190 lb roughly. My biggest body part challenge is an aweful pot bellie from a digestive surgery. So needless to say, I need help not just with camoflaging but really wearing 'nice' looking and feeling good again. I personally really don't like white button down shirts - but often have to wear them. This video and your others are so up beat. Thank you. I am working on my own capsule wardrobe. By the way. I sew and T-shirt dresses are a staple for me here in Los Angeles. I love them.
I'm SO SO happy to hear that you find the videos fun and informative; music to my ears! Way to go on the closet cleanup as well, that's amazing! Shame on women that talk behind the back of others -- people do that because they are often so unhappy in their own lives. I hope you're recovering beautifully from your surgery and hope to hear more about your capsule wardrobe and self-love journey along the way! You should join the FB group I chit-chat about -- i think you'd love it!
This video is so timeless and on point
Great tips! I watched all the way to the end. Love how you showed some sample looks and you have absolutely gorgeous eyes!!!! Congrats on the 10K subscribers and today you are at 15K!!!!
I really like how you explain things, it makes it very easy to understand. You're very good at speaking. 😊😊
As a teen I really appreciate your videos. I've been binge watching for a while.
So happy you're loving them! xo
This is a great video that explains the basics of a wardrobe very well.
Loved this video. Love the finding a jean that fits yuu idea. Also. How to dress to hide, I guess work with might be a better term. problem areas. For me it's the baby belly. I can look pregnant even though it's been almost 17 years since my last pregnancy.
I will definitely be working on something for that! It's always cut that makes things most flattering. I'll make sure to cover something that will work for you. :)
Great video! Good point on having a vanilla trench coat to wear in the fall. Vanilla is a color that pairs nicely with autumn colors: orange, gold, red ❤
Right? It love it because it goes beautifully with spring pastels, too!
Hi Chrissie, I just found your channel. I really enjoyed this video and agree with you completely on how important these basics are in a versatile wardrobe. I have multiples of most of these but need to update a few of them. Thanks for a great video , xo, Sue
Awesome video Christie! I do have most everything you showed, so that made me feel good. YES, I would love to see a how to buy the right denim jeans video. I get so frustrated trying to shop for jeans. Thank You!!
YAY! So glad you have your basics covered! I'll definitely have a denim video on the way. :)
What an amazing video! So thorough and educational. I am happy to know I have most of these, just shy of the pencil skirt (I work from home, so I would barely use it) and a nice silk camisole (which will be my next purchase when the time comes). Thank you so much for putting this together! I would have loved to see some examples of how you wear your chambray shirt, I have one and I only have two looks with it.
killer tips! Love all these pieces!!
Thanks, Christie. That's really helpful. And, yes, an everything-you-need-to-know-about-jeans video would be great!
So glad you go something out of it! Yes, I'll definitely put together something on how to find your perfect denim. :)
Loved this video, so helpful. Would love more videos on modules
I just found your channel and I'm obsessed!! Loved the tips you gave, and a work/office basics would be great! Also maybe one on styling tips for different body shapes? Thank you!! Can't wait to watch more!
The body type video and office basics will be coming up soon!
Professional basics, yes!
I will defintely be working on one!
Christie Ressel v
Christie thank you so much for the videos you put together especially styling videos 😊 I just purchased a black tshirt dress from boo hoo,as I live in Australia sizing is always trickier but if fit perfectly thanks again xxx
Just discovered your channel. Wish I'd found you ages ago! I've made fairly good progress on the basics in my wardrobe, but you've given me some ideas about what else I could find useful. Thank you :)
I'm so happy you've found it helpful! Happy to have you in the community! xo
Only just found your channel and watched a few videos but omg girl. Your videos are great!
Oh my gosh, that's soooo kind, thank-you!! xoxo
Oh my god, this video was SO helpful. Often the black and white colours act like basics, but the only thing I actually have in my closet is the white t-shirt that you showed. My closet would be a lot better off with a white shirt and a black blazer! Thank you so much for this video!
So happy you found it helpful!
Thank you for all the tips and insights - you vast knowledge and friendly style is so inspiring. If you find time I would love a video on the White Button Down... transparency issues, stay tucked, bodysuit-shirts or other tips. Thank you
Love this! And Office wardrobe basics vid please! 🙋🏻
Subscribed! I love how you mentioned the different style skirt that best suits your body type ❤️
So happy to have you in the community! And yes, skirts (or anything for that matter) is definitely a one size/shape fits all. :)
Thank you Christie! Helped me a lot!
Thank you so much for mentioning the tailored waist shirts! I look best in tailored waists and jeans that have a tight waist band because I gap at the waist where it goes in and a loose shirt just makes me look like a straight figure and is not flattering. Thanks for saying, "just do you!" Because all I see are big big big shirts super loose and nothing is fitted slightly in the waist anymore. Plus skinny jeans aren't my fave so if you have a loose shirt and loose bootcut jeans you just look slouchy! I'm so tried of this trend of loose top tucked in skin tight high waisted everything skinny pants! I know many people love the high waisted but it just doesn't flatter everyone and there should be more tailored shirts available !!
Just stumbled upon your channel and I am so excited! Subscribed!
YAY! So happy to have you join the community! xo
I've owned multiple plain white button ups, and NEVER wore them!!! Before I started my internship this summer I got one with a very subtle pattern, plain white with thin black lines that form squares, I wear it constantly, and I feel like it's more of a staple than plain white
A white button-up in a staple 100%, but, any button-up would do! If you enjoyed the pattern and it helped you wear it more, that's wonderful! Happy to hear you're enjoying them.
Totally agree! I have bought plain white button ups because of fashion advice, but I never wear them!
Girl, this was amazing! Incredibly helpful. I need a great denim jacket! 😁
Brava Christie, brava!! Happy to have recently subscribed to your channel.
Yay! I'm so happy to have you here! xo
I just found your channel and I love your advices. You really know what your talking about! 👍
Thank-you! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Thank you for your amazing fashion tips.
I love watching you. Your denim video is basically my go to guide now and I kept saying to my friends, no the point of the pocket should be at the bottom of your bum....LOL. I love your authenticity, sincerity and expertise. I watched so many stylist on youtube and ones who have a lot more subscribers but I only subscribed to you because you are doing a great job providing genuinely value-add content. I also love your Toronto accent as one of my favorite co-workers is from there and she sounds like you :) I am really proud of the work you are doing and I just want to encourage you to keep fighting the good fight!!!!
Thank-you! That’s so kind 💗💗
Just fabulous and very informative. Love it. My kind of wardrobe essentials 😘😘😘😘
Thanks beautiful! xo
I just found you and OMG! I so need you in my fashion life, lol. Thank you so much for all the great tips!!
LOL, happy to be your fashion godmother! Glad you're finding some great tips! xo
Hi, Christie! It's so lovely to watch your videos! Thank you for sharing this valuable ideas and knowledge with us! I want to know how to choose my color palette? Have you done special video on that? Thank you so much! With love, Tanya
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! A new subscriber and loving it all!
Happy to have you! :) So happy you enjoyed the video. xo
thank you. this was VERY helpful. you are also a very pleasant presenter.
So happy I found your channel!
I feel like everybody is doing make up / hair related videos (including myself), but I have had trouble finding good fashion channels. So thanks for your advice and help!
Keep it up! :)
That means so much, thank-you! I'm happy you're enjoying it! xo
So I just went through my wardrobe looking for basics and I have most of what you have suggested. I don't have a nice trench coat but I do have an amazing military jacket which is actually real and I wear it often and it goes with everything so I'll skip the trench coat. Lol Need a leather jacket again cause my clothing was ruined in a rented moldy house and I had to purge everything and start from scratch so this video is great for me to start over. another thing I don't have is a cami which is now on my wish list. Thanks for the awesome videos mmmmwah 🤗
LOVE your videos. would you be able to do a Fall lookbook with outfit examples? you have such a cool aesthetic
Great Video! If you do a office wear video, please include the difference in business causal incorporating today's trends :D
I can't definitely talk about business casual and how to wear trends with it!
THANK YOU CHRISTI, YOU HAVE VERY NICE IDEAS! I'M IN MY 60'S BUT enjoy Listening to your ideas, and I have Lost weight along with THYROID PROBLEMS and I have a little TUMMY, SO I have to work with that! I am still trying to Wear the Same Size , a 12 , and then the pants slide down ,!
I came here particularly for these pieces. I want to have a small section of my closet to keep these ready to go. Thanks for providing the info!
Do you have a video on a classic shoe wardrobe? Or, what to have that works with this wardrobe capsule?
Good one to use as a seasonal reference. Thank you
I do have that blazer that when I put my arms up a bit the shoulder pads hike up as well haha such a bummer. Anyways, thanks for this video! You're amazing ❤️ congrats on the 10k :)
Thank-you beautiful! Don't stress too much about the blazer -- just info for an even better fit for next time. It can be a tricky thing to find! :)
Yay! Wardrobe basics!! Just found ur channel. I love ur voice
Thank-you! So happy to have you apart of the community!
Hi Christie, I just found your channel (literally, this is the first video I'm watching) and I love it! You seem to give great general tips, talk about how to make it work, and you are showing off a great personality. I actually follow a lot of these tips myself. A cute, jersey - like black dress, a good dark denim jacket, and a good faux leather motorcycle - inspired jacket. Have to check out more of your videos. Also, I was wondering if you have/ could make a video of tips for being a stylist. I'm not a professional one, but I actually do a lot of shopping for my family members since they are elderly or have mobility issues, so I'd appreciate some advice. Also a video on what makes a good "eye for fashion". Keep it up Christie!
So glad you're enjoying all of the videos so far, that means so much! I have a video up on being a personal stylist, my story, and tips with that. But, I'll have some styling videos coming up soon regarding things everyone should know, how to have an eye for things, etc. :)
Thanks for this. Ive recently lost 70 pounds(more than halfway to my goal) and all my clothes are falling off me so nice to have a guide because I no longer have to hide behind shapeless t shirts and jeans so really have no idea how to dress myself
Good for you! Always mimic your body-shape when you get dressed -- if you do that, you're ahead of the curve. xo
Thank you for this!! I'm starting to get the idea of the basics but I'd love a denim detailed fit video too!! I struggle with fits in most of my clothes. I tend to buy things that are too large thinking they will distract others from my actual size which I've struggled with. However, I did go through my closet last week and take out all my ill fitted clothing. I already feel better and can't wait to start over. ❤️ also, I'd love a "how to find the right tee shirt fit" explanation video. I love your 50 ways video and I'd love to see what I should be looking for.
Awesome! So glad the purge helped you feel better. I will definitely work on a jean video and will chat about how to find the right fitting white tee. :)
Made it to the end. Thank you. I'm a new subscriber and enjoy your videos so far.
Woohoo! I know it was a long one! LOL So happy to have you as a new subscriber! xo
these are really useful tips. great video! xxxx
+Georgette Neve thanks!
So glad I found you! You're awesome!
Thank-you!
Would love a basics and capsule wardrobe video for ethical/sustainable/vegan brands/items 😍
this was fantastic. thank you.
great video! would love the jeans video, thanks
On the way! :)
I'm so glad a found a fellow Canadian to subscribe to. Great video!
Happy to have you! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video! xo
Yes! I watched to the end!
