10 Outfits That Are Out of Style & What To Wear Instead!

[@BlahBlah-sz4ne]

Button down shirts just don't work for everyone. I think it is a style myth that a button down is essential. I have to try really hard to avoid the frump with button downs - they aren't effortless and they aren't chic on me and I don't believe I am alone feeling this way.

[@33Jenesis]

The only button down I wear is flannel in winter and rayon camp shirt in summer. Dressy button down doesn’t fit my body and is time consuming to clean and iron

[@juliannerogers5283]

You're not, I'm not a fan of button down shirts either, not my style at all

[@monikab2222]

I agree, I don't understand why some of them look frumpy on me. Obviously I don't match them 😁

[@juliejohnson-hunt7134]

I totally agree! I have hated button downs my whole life. I am 65 too. I do like silk shirts, but cotton or linen button downs are not for me.

[@susanma4899]

I love them, but I can see how they would not work on a full-chested woman. Fortunately I'm the opposite :D

[@trishac9516]

Seriously, it's all about the styling, the proportions, and quality. Changing up your wardrobe is fine, but don't discard something and buy something else just because it's on trend. I am in my 70’s, so I have been following trends for a very long time! Figure out what looks good on you, how you're going to style it, and wear it, no matter what happens to be in style. Overconsumption is out of control.

[@truthprevails4386]

thank you!

[@nicola646]

I used to subsribe to Shea but not any more because her "in and out of style" analysis is often unsustainable (e.g. she called ballet flats out of style and recommended the "trendier" option which imo won't last more than a season...). To each their own, she's fun to watch. I much prefer your interpretation because you consider different factors like what is more wearable for what circumstances, what may last longer etc 😊😊xx

Leonie, I really appreciate your sensibilities when it comes to fashion and recommendations for what's better long term.

[@natashamohanty8941]

I relate to most of these! I loved your analysis of choosing pieces that are timeless, comfortable, and work for your weather. With all this in mind, one can build a functional long-term wardrobe and it actually reduces consumption.

[@kerstinramstrom1912]

Agree with everything. But I think animal prints on accessories are a classic, as is a leather blazer. The moto jacket is already there.

[@hotdot10]

Great tips Leonie! For me personally I'm agreeing to disagree 🤣 I've never been a fan of denim maxi skirts as they look too heavy & awkward & have always preferred maxis with a split somewhere as they are more comfortable & wearable. I think long pendants look great with deep-v tops (ie:karenbritchick) however i can see how some may think it's too much. Love button down shirts but crop tops are a staple in my wardrobe aswell (workouts, beach, nights out, etc). Love your videos 💖

[@JoysZeeGirL]

Yes, I want the bottom of my shirt! Agree with you, when you have classic and timeless pieces, you never go out of style :-)

Never liked the cut out thing. It’s for the young! Never liked puffy for the same reason I’m a woman not a young girl! You are bang on quality and comfort for sure🦋

[@GoddessLaurel]

I see your point, though personally find most ballet flats frumpy and weak looking regardless of whether they are trending or not. I find them to be the worst designed classic ever.

[@ke6264]

Cutout clothes along with ultra sheer clothes are meant for the clearance bin imo and the more cutout/sheer the tackier it looks

[@KerraBolton]

Thank you for the style tips. I have a few disagreements, I'm afraid. I love the puff-sleeve shirt trend, which works for me. However, I also like pairing something feminine with something edgier to extend the life of the piece. Also, I live in a tropical climate. So having a maxi skirt with a long slit is practical and makes sense for my lifestyle. I just bought a Black leather moto jacket and absolutely love it.

[@pure_indulgence8144]

Love this round up! But maxi skirts without a split and no platform heels 😱😱😱 MADDNESS! Haha Platforms are amazing and timeless! Even when they aren’t a trend they remain “in style”. 90% of my heels are platforms and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Plus I know how to walk in heels, so I’ve never “clomped” in any shoe. That might be more of an issue for someone who doesn’t wear heels often. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@esmereldahakk1660]

I LOVE platforms and chunky soles. They work for me and I am so happy that they've come back again. Those of us on our feet a lot, knee issues, arthritis, etc., can't wear regular heels. Platforms fill that void.

[@hydeliberaadanhoun2184]

As a petite woman I can't wear anything maxi without a good slit. Animal prints are timeless classic. Puffy sleeve always bring something interesting to the look replacing them with button down shirts is boring to my opinion. Anyway I respect your opinion and I don't do trends anyway. I do what I like and what suits me ♥️

[@Raya7766]

Agreed!

[@trishac9516]

I have two Free People Maxi knit wrap skirts. Since they wrap around, my leg will show. It doesn't show that much leg, but I need that for movement. I think there are many skirts where a knee-high slit would improve the look and fit, greatly, not just denim.

[@glofdahl1733]

As for the platform shoes and boots, there is no way I'm giving them up this year... I love pairing them with extra long flared dressy pants for the retro or Y2K styles, and I love the impossibly long-legged look I get from them. It's good to know the puffy sleeves can be given a rest, and I will avoid investing in those.Thanks for all the good tips on style investments!

Great tips. Can’t wear platforms, don’t like animal prints and love a good classic shirt so I agree with you on these

[@giovannadedomenicis2149]

Fabulous video! I agree 100% with everything. I never purchased the platforms. I grew up in the 70’s so these were nothing new to me. I tried on the Valentino gorgeous boots but at 68 I didn’t want to fall off my shoes. But they are gorgeous. I don’t like cutouts it is hard to wear a bra. I gave up my puffy sleeves 2 summers ago. My daughter always say I am a fashion forecaster lol. I gave up leopard a while ago. With my short cropped bleached hair leopard can tend to be too much. I just purchased a gorgeous moto jacket… waiting for it to come… from the Frankie Shop gorgeous clothes. Slits are not it for me. I particularly hate when the slits in the front. My legs are bigger than the rest of me so the high front slit is a no. I always wear a maxi and a long midi. Which is not hard since i am 5’4. I like edgy classic styles. If that makes sense but as I said the hair always leans me towards toning things down. Great to see you model outfits as you are do gorgeous. I never hear of this brand but will check them out!

[@thechronicreative]

It's good to remember this video is for anyone who loves the word, classic and timless. It's said so many times and that's the audience it is going for. This is not for those with different personalities, but just classic, refined look. BUT I believe women, at any age should dress for personality first. Women don't do this enough. Because that's what I'm meeting when I see you.That's what you express as you walk the streets.If your style keywords is not 'classic,' or 'refined' this video might not be helpful for your style. So if you love drama in an outfit, if you have a large personality, then puff sleeves or exaggerated shapes will ALWAYS be your staple. You can't swap it for a classic button down, cap sleeves. You will feel ugly and not seen. But yes you will fit a classic look. If you have a whimsical nature about you, animal and bright prints will be filled in your wardrobe. Regardless of cheapness. Elegance isn't your aim, but perhaps your energy for life and creativity. Your spirit for life can't translate that 'stylewise' into something with a little shimmer and an neutral jumper in grey, black or cream. If you are in your 50s and have a confident, diva, sexy attitude, then yes slits might be in your skirts and so will cut outs because for you, your body is an expression of yourself in that sensual way. If you love punk rock or a bit of edge because you don't like being too traditionally 'girly femanine' why would you get rid of your clunky boots, for trainers or cute loafers? It's a great video for helping those who want to dress classic with a hint of minimal modernism👍🏿

[@sandykerr60s]

Agree. I love Leonie's channel for her take on the trends etc but I don't have classic timeless style myself. I am happy to be influenced by a trend when it suits. The trend means I can buy items and keep them as staples. For example, I bought grass green items and pirate-sleeved linen shirts that perfectly suit my arty style. Staples for me - not classic white button downs - not ever.

[@mimzyc9949]

Not a fan of animal prints, so no loss there. But I will keep wearing my leather blazer because I think it will always be classic. I've debated getting a moto jacket and just never have. I feel like if I do it will go out of style 😂. Other than that I agree with you on these trends

[@justinebarton2931]

Noooo. I love platforms. I thought that the trend was hardly getting started! I haven't seen anybody wearing them much yet so I thought the trend was yet to fully take off. (I'm in the UK.) I've only just bought a pair as I wanted a heeled pair of shoes for evenings and I feel that they look so much more modern than my kitten heeled court shoes which are now looking very prim and prissy and dated! And Emily was wearing a lot of platforms in the latest season of Emily in Paris! On the other hand I've always hated animal prints. Can't stand them. But I love a bit of metallic. Interestingly I would have thought that the leather blazer is more timeless and classic than the biker jacket. They're also lot more versatile if you've bought slightly oversized as they're easier to layer. Especially as they tend to be longer so you don't get your top sticking out the bottom of the jacket.

[@4m.830]

Platforms are a huge trend. One of the most important shoe trends 2023.

Funny because I just listened to another fashion video that said animal print was on trend for Spring. Either way I like to occasionally add an animal print belt to a solid outfit or shoe.

[@marinakardos3802]

I heard of JK at Nordstrom in the States. To answer your question. About 2-3 years ago maybe? They’re in my wish list and once I bought a sweater on sale. Absolutely excellent quality on the item I got at least.

[@ShellTay32]

I've known about Jenni Kayne for years. But, I live in California. The quality is wonderful and I have a few of their cashmere pieces. I have worn Moto jackets for at least 10-15 years. I am still in the kind of over them for a while phase. I like my leather look blazers and will continue to wear them. Looking stylish is a lot about updating things from time to time but not gobbling up every "this is in" trend. I do live in the heart of Silicon Valley, and style is about 3 seasons behind here so I have leeway. 🤣❤

Besides denim maxi skirt, in my opinion leather maxi skirt with a slit looks phenomenal. Recently I purchased a leather midi/maxi skirt from Zara (on sale) and it looks fabulous. 10/10 would recommend

[@EG-qq4gw]

I Love your video! You are very honest fashion expert. I like how you translate the fashion in a realistic, classic and elegant way to wearing them AND that you don’t bring over consume because of the fashionable trends! For that I am your fan ❤. I was moving in the past with the trends like the wind, now that I am more mature I am looking for a wardrobe capsule with more quality than quantity. Recently I was decluttering my wardrobe and it was like an exorcism to my wardrobe 😂, BUT IT FEELS SOO GOOD 👍🏽. I found out that I was missing some basic and classic clothes. When I bought them suddenly I was able to create more outfits and I feel that I have a lot to wear now, even After a hard decluttering and the buy of the new pieces were only 3 to 5 pieces (quality vs quantity). One of my acquisitions was a leader Bike-Jacket. Here I was really thinking a lot if this will fit to me in the next years as I am in my ending 30’s but it looks very good and it haven’t very heavy accessories or features so I think I will be able to wear it for at least the next 10 years 😊. On the other hand there are classic pieces which I can see myself on it like a leather trousers. I tried a lot of them. The classic Black color straight cut and high waisted was the one which I thought it could be wearable for me, BUT not I can’t find myself in this classic style. I believe that it is important also to use what you also like and makes you feel confident and not only move with the fashion trends (like I did in the past … lessons learned 😅). So thanks for the fantastic video ❤

[@raktimabose9382]

Swapping crop tops with classic button downs sounds bit of a bummer. Probably tank tops/bodysuits is a better idea, preferably layered with a button down (when needed). From a petite woman’s perspective, button downs are not easy to tuck and look neat. Also, petite women need that slit in their maxi skirts/dresses. Not thigh high maybe but at least knee-high slit that show their legs and balance the proportion. Or else we look like drowning in fabric.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Tanks are a great idea!

Agree with nearly all of these, except the animal print one. I love a leopard print and love seeing leopard or cheetah on other people. It's a great option in a faux fur coat, a loafer, a heel, a scarf, a headband, etc. I think it's playful and fun. I knew cutouts were going to age very quickly and did not hop on the trend.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I agree on all of these. I only buy classic, high-quality items that I know will stand the test of time. The last thing I want is a new, trendy wardrobe every year, and it isn’t sustainable. I’m not actually a fan of Shea, it seems to me that she will sell anything to support her luxury lifestyle, like their private plane, and she has very odd opinions. For example, she said a few years ago that “ribbed knits look cheap”. They don’t and they have been everywhere in luxury brands as well as high street ones.

[@marahelwig2237]

I remember Shea and the comment about ribbed knits. Totally did not agree with her assessment. Ribbed knits come and go, but they are a true classic. I have many ribbed knit sweaters, everything from turtlenecks to v-necks, that will remain in my closet for years to come.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Wow that’s fab 🙏🏼

[@antoniaz]

Animal prints are a great accent for white/neutral/black outfits. For example, I have a great pair of Sam Edelman ankle Western boots in leopard. They look fab with my white jeans. A jungle print belt on a black pair of jeans, also fab. I also have a black-and-white jungle print trench, very tailored. It's a cool combo. The trick is getting good quality and limit how much you wear at a time. Otherwise, it just looks cheap IMO. Thanks as always, and I did check out Jenni Kayne which I had never heard about before, up here in the Frozen North.

[@makeup_onhermind]

I will always love my leopard print, but prefer it in the details: A small bag, shoes or a little silk scarf. Mixed with denim, leather and edgy boots, it's just a quintessential element to my slightly rock-chic 70s style :) but I do love metallic leather, too! Have my eye on a metallic silver western ankle boot ;)

[@mariamcadams6282]

You're 100% correct when it comes to crop shirts , by the way who had this ridiculous idea about crops anything ? I hate it so much , because from time to time I will come across a sweater or shirts I like but then 😮 I can't buy it because it's crop.

I still like animal prints, I think they’ve become classic now. I did resist them for more than 20 years, but I now think they can look classy, but only in natural, neutral animal-fur colors. I never liked them in crazy colors like purple or green. I just got a silk animal print skirt and will be wearing it a lot when the weather warms up a bit. I think they are much nicer than those neon lime and orange colors, and novelty prints, that designers are pushing for spring. I hope that this summer we get more sophisticated, adult choices than all those puffed-sleeved, tiered, ruffled floral prairie dresses of last summer.

Yeah, I not so much on agreement with the platforms if they are made correctly but if they are not, it an orthopedics' dream. I have old school ones that curl up toward the toe like a slight rocking horse momentum. Yeah not too keen on splits going up on the upper thigh because when you sit that split moves up and I don't want privates not to be private and being self conscious while wearing it. A split in denim midi/maxi is a useful tool because these skirts can be a bit heavy and allow some air flow and free movement of the legs. Metallic will never replace animal print that is so infamous with the rich and famous for centuries and metallic is related to the disco area and space age trend. I have some animal prints dated back to the late 80s. I have some metallics but rarely reach for them. I would not say replace leather blazer but look into adding a motto style leather/pleather jacket could bring fun to a look. I walked away from a genuine leather motorcycle jacket for $130 but I did not have the free funds, so it took some discipline to walk away but it still hunts me. I am not wearing jewelry at this time, but the long necklaces do work for me because of the large chest and wanting attention to be lower toward the waist. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the days to come.

I don't care about trends too much. If one suits me - fine. But when I love something it doesn't matter if it's in or out and will be worn until it nearly falls apart 🙂.

Hello….. I haven’t heard of it! Btw your New balance shoes I saw last time somehow I can’t find that color which I love! Would you mind telling me where did you get it from? On there website that don’t have that color! Thank you! And the color you have different style number? I don’t know! Would pls let me know ? I would appreciate it!

[@melindaferreira9879]

Never heard of this brand... I never embraced the exaggerated puff sleeve.. a gentle puff and slight ruffle but that's it. Not really into platforms.. also detest the cut outs...agree with the comfort but chic style.. don't care for high slits.. I don't follow trends... I do have denim maxi skirts but that's just a happy accident I suppose. I know what I like, what works w my day to day lifestyle, what is practical , comfortable, affordable for me, animal prints.. slowly very slowly bringing them into my closet through a belt and a pair of heels .. no crops for me, LOVE button downs but not hugely oversized as I am very petite.. but a size up seems to work well for me.. I have leather but I rarely wear ... I'm still hanging onto them but I find they are very heavy for my frame... Enjoyed this! Agreed!

Thanks for the info … please keep it coming. Tall women in this KZbin space are so underrepresented 👍🏻👏🏻😊

[@vanessaleighl7093]

Funny I am revisiting animal print after taking a break for several years and nothing I wear looks cheap lol. I am also adding in crop tops. It is all about personal style and personal taste. Cargos were never very appealing to me even as a kid in the 90s but all the rage then and now. But ideally if you wear a trend it is in line with your style. Not true for everyone, but I hope many. To each our own as always.

[@lorzz4939]

Eeek gotta disagree with some of these - as a short gal, platforms under all my wide pleated trousers are essential esp in summer to ground the outfit. Love long architectural pendants under blazers or to give T-shirt’s an edge, and animal print paired with a biker jacket always looks cool to me. Agree on the childish puffy sleeves tho! Xx

[@ShellTay32]

I love a pendant with certain looks. They work really well on my body and with my style. I like to wear what flatters me. One "out" item doesn't make or break a cool flattering look.

[@sharonshmuel3386]

Hi Leonie enjoyed this. I agree with you on absolutely everything- Personally I hate cut outs animal prints platforms long jewelry puffy sleeves slits etc etc Never heard of JK but loved your top. ❤ I used to watch Shea a long time ago - not watched her content for a very long time. Have a great day lol 😘

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thanks so much Sharon - I always appreciate your comments 😊

[@jl8505]

Glad that you didn’t mention cargo pants/skirts again, it’s so overexposed everywhere in shops. Hoping that crop tops is going soon and not everyone likes to iron a button down shirt for everyday wear, for work is fine.

[@cherylruley9965]

Oh no animal prints I just can’t get rid of them because animal print will come back. I just love them. I will set them back for a while but keep them safe in the back of my clot😅

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Great idea!!

[@cherylruley9965]

You at killing me again my long pendant necklaces oh my. Just can’t quit them all. I’ll try to make a tweak but the will come back 😅

[@janicemonroe5948]

Like the puffy sleeves-but not the over top dramatic type. Hope to wear for a few more yrs.

[@giedrebey5444]

Its funny that you said that cuts out are out. I just purchased Proenza Schouler maxi , long sleeves, cut out dress, but since it was too big, in waist, i took to tailor, and decided to alter little bit cut outs as well, especially in the chest area , its enough deep kind of sweetheart cleveage, so why do i need a space between breast as well, and little stomach open , i decided to close half of it. And it still has enough that style, but more elegant way. I have body for that, but i feel less is more . I love cap sleeves. I think thats the most elegant sleeve style on the dresses. Maxi dresses or skirts absolutely yes . Yes platforms, i havent wore them already last year. I dont want stletto type heels either. Love small platform sneakers, and loafers, and kitten heel sandals . Now crop tops are staying in my closet 😜 button down shirts are ok, but i live in SF , so the climate is meant, for crop tops, caftans, all resort style dressing. I rarely have ability to wear button down shirt, even with cut outs in the back. Its too hot, and then its too cold.😳 not much time for that mid seasonal dressing, which i kind of missing😂, Have a blessed day🙏🧡

[@susanlarkin3790]

Moderation in all things goes a long way… that way, clothing always stays classic and doable over many seasons/years. It is too expensive to keep replacing with the current “trends”. Speaking of expensive, Jenni Kayne is in that category… but the look is beautiful , classic quality.

[@MeantToLiveGirl]

Do you have any suggestions for shoes to wear with skinny jeans other than chunky loafers?

[@thegillmachine]

any heels, ballet flats, oxfords, flat sandals, ankle boots, riding boots, nearly any shoe works with a skinny jean. I think Oxfords and taller boots may be the trendiest bet, but definitely go by style preference

[@33Jenesis]

I always wear Converse low profile sneakers with my skinny jeans.

[@susanmcdowell2499]

See where you're coming from but can't agree with all....to me a leather blazer is timeless...like a regular blazer. Maybe not too oversized but I'm not saying goodbye to this one yet. I think its a matter of body type with what suits...IMO tailored styles suit more straight lines whereas bomber style suit more rounded shapes. I also think platforms will always have a place. I agree long necklaces but I still like them...as well as chunky necklaces...I'm waiting for the delicate jewellery trend to swing round to more interesting styles....I'm approaching that age...it's in the DNA...where its almost impossible to resist bling and statement like necklaces...I'm trying so hard to resist lol

I love your fashion sense and your videos are some of my favourites but I don’t agree with supporting cashmere, wool, silk and leather. These industries are incredibly cruel and unsustainable. ✌🏻💚

[@07kato]

All fabrics have their draw backs. Viscose, which is touted as sustainable, involes horrible chemical processes that release toxic gases into the air. And depending on where they are made, sometimes the chemicals used in up in water ways. Rayon/polyester is basically plastic with not just horrifc chemical process but also don't break down/or degrade. Vegan silk and leather is the same, as they are essentially plastic. I understand the ethical issues animals face in the fabric industry, but all non animal derived fabrics are equally problematic but for different reasons.

[@sparky9839]

@@07kato Animal leather doesn’t degrade either, the chemical processes today it undergoes are a nightmare. The real issue is that we shouldn’t be exploiting others and killing then for clothing. ✌🏻

I disagree I'm not going to stop wearing my leather blazers. For us in the U.S. Moto jackets have been on trend for 8 years and they may be in fashion for a little longer, where as leather blazers have only been in fashion for a few years now and since the whole leather trend is in full swing, and was still on the runways for this past season, it really makes no sense what so ever to stop wearing them. Also, if you look how fashion follows history, I remember Moto jackets in the late 80s till mid 90s think INXS, I was in high school when the trend started and it peaked in 1990. I grew up in LA going to night clubs in the LA scene. Mid 90s was right around when leather blazers became big and were big till 2000 when leather trenches became huge which have already started, cargo pants were also huge in the mid 90s till 2000, which was then replaced by full on 70s flares, and shrunken velvet and leather jackets, although fashions can take on a new twist here and there, but it mostly repeats. If you look at the past you can pretty much predict the future of fashion. I was a jewelry designer in the fashion industry and you having also been in the fashion industry I'm sure must know this. The difference now is that fashion is holding onto some fashions longer while simultaneously jumping further ahead like leather trousers weren't big until 2000. I assume designers are jumping ahead to be cutting edge, I know I did that with jewelry, but you can't jump so far ahead that the consumers won't go for it yet. Styles come and go, so "classic" can mean it's been around for 10 years, which means it's on It's way out. Also, it means if you do hold onto the more "classic" pieces they will come back eventually, it will just take 20 years or so. I personally kept some of my favorite leather pieces and so now I have some very cool vintage, I have a black leather Moto from 90, I never bought a new one. I have a pair of classic black bootleg leather pants, a beige suede laser cut maxi skirt, a black suede mini skirt that I bought vintage in 2000 from the 80s and this is just a few. Anyway, I've gone on enough. Overall I enjoy your videos. Also I've stopped watching Shea Whitney, she's usually wrong and just likes getting people worked up to get more views. Also, in another video you mentioned Erin Busbee, love her.
