I have a signature silver bracelet. I bought it in Toledo, Spain when I was 17 and I'm almost 70 now. I never take it off.

[@annaknowles5314]

I love your videos! It was really useful to try and pin down my style to three words and came up with: classic, comfortable, quality. I'm 80 next birthday but still love clothes and aim to look my best - much helped by your penetrating eye! I choose simple (classic) , well-made (quality) pieces that fit perfectly (comfort). You don't get tired of good stuff like you do of trash - some of my pieces are 30 + years old. I also like to add one stand out item to avoid looking boring - a beautiful scarf, a dramatic piece of jewellery, a lovely bag or pair of shoes.

[@jacquelinea8224]

What are some of your favorite brands?

[@annaknowles5314]

@@jacquelinea8224 I love Jean Muir - her business closed years ago after her death but her style was timeless; Jaeger - very well-made clothes; Max Mara - beautiful fabrics; TSE cashmere for ultra luxe sweaters. But you can find quality in lesser known brands too - and in thrift shops! There's an excellent book by Christa Weil called 'Second hand Chic' which tells you everything about quality and finish in good clothes. You can get a (second hand!) copy on abe books for a few pounds (or dollars). )

[@Schlei602]

I've the same 3 words!!! Love it classic and comfortable, and my wardrobe must be of good quality. Am 75 this month, still working as a museum guide and an educated Fine Artist.

[@jacquelinea8224]

I totally identify with these words. My heart wants to fulfill well made, but I need a few reliable brands to get me going. I've even gotten back into sewing with the goal of making a capsule of flattering silhouettes using French seams, but it's super challenging to find quality fabrics. And I live in Chicago! I'm retired, too so no rush. Thanks for the book suggestion. It looks like a really fun read!

I’m just discovering your channel this month. I’m almost 58 years old and have never known what my style is. I’m excited to try this method. Wish me luck!

[@seriouslycarefree]

I found your KZbin channel yesterday. I am binge-watching it. You have already changed my life! I have been in a style rut since 2015! I didn't know how to get out of it. Now I know how to combine 3 different styles into one personality. All this time I thought I had to choose one. A dormant part of my personality has blossomed! I never could figure it out on my own. I'll write more again once I've had time to play around with my styles. I'll send before and afters! THANK YOU.

I was so ready for his video! I have my style words “ Visible, Classic, Engaging’. Now I am exploring new style uniforms with the help of Pinterest. I have my closet staples and want to reimagine outfits now that I have a disability and have embraced by grey hair. My uniform is to challenge the stereotypes associated with ageism and ableism in society and to assist me in reintegrating into a post Covid world with grace and confidence.

[@jacquelinea8224]

I'm still working on my style words. Yours are unique! Can you share how you interpret visible and engaging in your closet?

[@lesleyc2704]

@@jacquelinea8224 thanks for asking Jacqueline. I was a big fan of neutrals ie navy, stone and grey with accents of plum, burgundy and green. I would accessorise with pops of colour in handbags. I decided to turn this around and make the colour my basics and the neutrals the accessory and I decided to try new colours like orange and to step outside my comfort prints of stripes and try eg an asymmetrical floral print. I work with children and young families so my clothes are comfortable and I wear flat shoes. I go for a youthful but not clownish appearance and I want to maintain a casual elegance. I keep the lines simple. (I’m currently in winter in the Southern Hemisphere.)

[@szfrj]

After watching your last video I came up with 2 sets of three words. It was such and inspiring exercise, thank you 🙏🏻💕 The first set is how I want to feel in my outfits, the second are actual descriptions of my clothes. So I want to feel ‘womanly , elegant and tall’. I can do that by wearing monochromatic, losely structured, sweeping lines.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Oh I love that!!

[@garlicgirl3149]

I love this!!!!!!!!

[@trinalane6576]

I've always been attracted to ruffles and colors and puffy sleeves and continued to purchase and not wear. I feel more comfortable in simple natural neutrals. I've learned to appreciate the style without trying to wear it. I've watched you for years and I still love you. Other people I used to like have changed their...mission maybe?

[@carriehodges6566]

I have worn bangs my whole life. I also started wearing my hair up a few years ago. Last year I went pink. My look is curated and eclectic and timeless. I have old pieces I like to wear in a “now” way. My look is an artistic expression. Love your videos -I love to learn about style. (I’m 67 and still growing I hope: Ancora imparo!)

[@chubbycheckers53]

I liked how you added a pic of you dressed in something that was too girly and fussy. Love your videos and I am working to find my style and not dressing for what others may think is appropriate (for my age). Dressing to feel good about myself - confidence!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Totally agree Connie life is too short to dress for other people!

[@marlenegomes4008]

I have a formula for workwear and I didn’t even realized it until a friend called me out on it. On casual days I’m more random but two things are always on me, my stack of bracelets and earrings, big, small, hoops, doesn’t matter. I have to have earrings on. Love your videos. Love you style.

[@jodrew1845]

I'm in my 60's, looking to refreshing my wardrobe at this time. The advice on this vlog post is very much on point, especially for younger women. When you're starting to build a look, remember to add pieces over time. A signature style will change but it should never be extreme, as classic's are always in fashion, trend will return but never in the same way it was previously presented.

[@lisa-janeomalley7041]

Ok I think I have my words...eclectic, colourful and classy

[@verysophia]

It's interesting how your charming, friendly, humble persona is mirrored in the great comments. You are inspiring on many levels, thanks!

[@MarcelaProvaznikova]

When I feel good I usually just throw a colorful or patterned shirt on paired with jeans. I have a week spot for tailored suit jackets. It always increase my confidence 😃

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Nice Marcela!

[@SharonWilsonJauquetta]

Your outfit - my signature style!! White shirt, jeans, white sneakers. I feel amazing in this outfit.

[@andrealast]

I am somebody who adores clothes and the art of putting pieces together. It's so fun for me! I know my style, and yet I struggle to put words to it. I hear so many people use words like "chic", "classic", "minimal" etc. and honestly, I don't know the difference. If I were to describe my style without set terms, I would say that I love earth toned colors. I very much lean towards white, creams and different shades of brown, but also wear black often. I don't always add color to my wardrobe, but when I do, it's a settle or muted/earthy yellow, blue, green, red. My top two favorite materials to purchase my clothing in are 100% cotton and linen! I do have a few structured and/or fitted pieces that I enjoy and get good wear from, but I always like to have some sort of flow in the outfit, whether it's the whole outfit or just one element of it! I don't always wear jewelry, but maybe 2-3 times a week will pair a gold set of studs or mini hoop earings or a simple gold necklace with my outfits!

[@BridgeOfLifeStudio]

I always wear the same rings, watch and necklace stack and then I switch out my earrings with my outfits. I have even had people comment on how they like that about my outfits and how it makes it instantly "me".

[@allthingswavy6420]

It's what I truly love about Nili Lotan. She is suuuper clear about who she is and that confidence expresses in her fashion choices. She makes no excuses nor "adjusts" herself to fit whatever is "happening" in the fashion world.

So pleased to hear from a mature group, I will be 80 next year and would love to stay elegant

[@nancer63]

Thank you for this, Alyssa. When you suggested starting small and shared some specific ideas of what small steps might look like, I realized I already have a few signature elements. The same perfume for over 35 years, because when you get so many compliments on it in your 20s and then across the years, you keep wearing it. And the same rings on my finger that mean something to me, but are also simple and classic. All that to say, I am finding it helpful to name those small things and know I’ve already been defining my signature style. Now I can keep going. My current pursuit is growing out my gray and finding the wash and wear, super easy but super stylish haircut that I’m going to wear for the rest of my life. 😘

[@rhonaklipp]

The Three Words guide is fantastic!! I used it recently when looking for a top. It helped me narrow down to 1 easy win! I just LOVE this top and my daughter lit up when she saw my choice. It's my version of a button down. I've tried the white button down and it just doesn't work for me, too crisp. So I found an 'artsy' one that is perfect, with 3/4 length sleeves! I'll have you know I tried on a LOT that day and things just didn't look right plus I was on my own. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Then I reminded myself to think of my three words and bingo! Thank you for keeping things simple. It makes it easier when styling or getting to shop occasionally. I am 60 and I've decided I have a 'shape shifter' for a body, so finding my style has been challenging. I have figured out A line dresses and tunics with leggings works great for me. Now that my hair is totally gray I find bold colors & prints work best as well. Interestingly when I found my button down and walked it around the store to see how it felt, another customer remarked how good it looked. Confirmed how I felt. Thanks!

[@juliagoolia72]

Every time I watch one of these videos, I want to purge my closet and only keep a capsule of things that are classic, polished, and carefree. But then I look at how I actually shop and dress and I’d say it’s more contemporary, casual, undone. Plus I predominantly shop vintage so my wardrobe is just full of “pieces.” So it’s a constant battle of what I think I want vs. What I actually do.

[@leashgang1]

At a time when I was really struggling with depression, I gave myself the gift of making my hands more beautiful. My nails are thin & constantly breaking & splitting. I decided (for better or worse) to use acrylic tips. I have 3 signature OPI colors which go with any color or outfit: Kyoto Pearl, Elegant & understated. Goes with absolutely everything. I use one coat. The frost give my nails extra shine. The look on my almond shaped nails is a gift I give myself every time I look at my hands. I have used it for years. Classic so it never goes out of style. Pale fine mica gold, also classic & compliments my jewelry. For holidays, I’m Not Really a Waitress, a deep red frost. One coat. Really! One coat.

[@elfriedeschmidt4033]

As always, clear and concise. I’m seeing what I have in my closet in a different light using my 3 words and I believe I do have a signature style. But in this every day world post retirement, there is less motivation to “pull myself together” like I used to when I was working. Add the “no place to go” situation these past couple of years, I feel like I’ve lost my oomph. At any rate, I love watching your videos…you are very inspiring…

[@rachelw8161]

Thank you for sharing this note Elfriede. In Alyssa’s ‘3 Words’ videos she talked about dressing for your favourite part of the day. For me, that’s as simple as treating myself to warm, buttery banana bread & a coffee at home. In terms of "getting ready" for this time, I think about doing things like wearing my favourite, comfy loungewear (it’s really cold in Melbourne) and/or wearing my favourite lip oil that makes me feel lovely. Mine just happens to be Clarins. You don’t have to be retired. You don’t have to be going anywhere. You can still do simple, beautiful things with your day. All the best to you.

"Having your own sense of style" is a sentence I like. As the matter of fact, Ted Kennedy said at the eulogy for Jackie Kennedy: " no one, that we knew of, had a better sense of style than her". Now, I will never be like a Jackie Kennedy, even if tried ( never did) The closest I came is that as a little child I thought Jackie looks like my mom (not the other way around). I am a person always a little on the search of my style and that way, through the years, adapted just this style. Knowing I like a easy system, a little classic and comfortable.

Love your philosophy on style, Alyssa. Most of my clothes are over 20 yrs old and many are older than that!! I gladly wear my dear belated mom's (great quality) blazers, sweaters, etc. I've only recently updated a few items, mostly shoes,/boots and have been gifted some great hand me downs. I have found your advice so helpful on how to style items to make them look more current and I seem to always get compliments on my clothes. People don't realize how old they are! Good classic items are hard to wear out and if you take care of your clothes, they seem to last forever. Just update them with a few 'styling tweeks' and voila! Sustainability at it's best. Thank you for all your videos! Bless you!

Wow that was a great great video! Love it and will rewatch several times. I'm currently in the process of finding my own style and what suits me. It's not as easy as I thought it would be especially I lack patience but it is so much fun and I'm "working" on it every day. My three words are "Sensual + simple + effortless", still figuring out my personal uniform but in summer definitely jumpsuits and my "start small" signature pieces are my straightened beach blonde hair and my three small, golden hoops on each ear. I didn't recognise these where already pieces of my signature style till you mentioned it. So happy that I'm further in my style journey than I thought I would be! Love from Germany

I am also an ARTIST.

Thank you for another video! I've binged these for the past year and they're always delightful and insightful! I've tried the three-word-method before, but it never seemed to fit until you talked about the words as something to describe myself, not just my style. I've always thought my style is comfy, flowy and classic, but something seemed to be missing, because I like to mix things up quite often. Besides, the words can be conflicting too, as you said. So in the end I've settled on unpredictable, smart and comfy as my three words and I think I'm a step closer to my personal style. Thank you for helping me realise this! Another thing, I really love your "make new out of old"-series, it really encourages me to look at my wardrobe in new ways. Thank you!

Hi Alyssa - I love your videos! I had been struggling with evolving my personal style and feeling like myself since moving to a new climate, and your recommendation of focusing on three words has helped me shop my own closet and feel like me again. My three words/categories are timelessly feminine, ethereal/otherworldly, and effortless. If an outfit feels too fussy, I feel uncomfortable and not like me. Swapping out my stilettos for flats and changing out my structured jackets for flowing fits have been a game changer for me. Thank you so much for all of your practical advice!

Always nice to share a bit of Sunday !orning with you wherever you may be!, Alyssa! Signature styles ... In the fall and winter I rely on sweater plus pants, jeans or skirts!

[@ElliiiBlabla]

The three words method helped me so much the last few months and I'm glad to see that more people talk about it! It feels like I understand so much better why I like something or if it's something I will also like in the future. My three words are dark/edgy/alternative (haven't figured it out yet), care free and delicate.

[@thevanimaduray2235]

Excellent, excellent advice as usual🥰 Your "uniform different occassions" point really blew my mind, because it is SO true for me! I love dark colours and over the last few years I've been adding more colour to my wardrobe - red and pink, light blue instead of navy, etc. After giving it a lot of thought, my three words are: comfortable, disco, classic. I don't know how else to describe my vibe other than 70s, but there you go. As a short, busty woman with child-bearing hips, it's always been a nightmare to shop, but I'm embracing my body type and have found that wrap dresses and boots are definitely a huge part of my signature style. Also, you'll pry my high-waisted skinny jeans out of my cold, dead hands, LOL!

[@Ophelia441]

Love this video! I’ve been working on my three words, and I think they actually change depending on the season, which, for the purposes of my word choice I’m going with Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter.

This was such an insightful video; it's really got me thinking about the styles I gravitate towards and how I want to present myself to the world.

I HAVE noticed my signature though, and that is bold, colourful, sparkly, eye makeup. I have hundreds of eyeshadows and don't go any where without a full look, and I never wear neutrals on my eyes! Ironically, I own only clear lip balm. I can't be certain of my 3 words yet, but "bold and edgy, and playful" come to mind. I love pairing contrasts; like platform Doc Marten boots with a short dramatic puff dress! Or a long sparkly pleated skirt with neon pink loafers. I love to play with my look, so I'm sure that as my personal style evolves, so will my words :) Thank you for the lovely video! Definite food for thought!

Alyssa, thank you so much for all the content you have been putting out for years. I just discovered your channel this year and it’s been very helpful and inspiring. I’m just at the start of figuring out my style. I have learned some wonderful tips from you so far. I would love to know who made the white tee you are wearing with the black pants and cognac belt at 1:33 into this video. I’ve been trying to find something like it, and I’m struggling.

Well done, Alyssa! I have to watch that other video. I have 2 style types. This may help someone out there. I'm 68, a size Large (around a 14-16). I believe my 3 words are: Classic, Dramatic, Retro. I wear, when I get dressed up, statement necklaces. I love having a bit of sparkle too. I'm in the entertainment field. When I'm not "gigging" I guess my style is comfortable, LOL!

I wonder if I’ve compartmentalized multiple signature styles for much of my life: things I wore to work were dictated by dress codes and other people’s standards, versus things worn in my downtime when I can experiment more, highlight other aspects of myself that get less focus during the work week.

My three words are, comfort, modern, embellished. I used this method to put an outfit together this weekend and was immediately complimented on it by a stranger. This totally works to put together outfits!

So I’ve been trialing my three words (sensual gravitas eclectic) BUT have had to tweak them based on my daily outfit formulas to actually reflect what I actually am drawn to. Now I’m playing with flowy (comfortable/sensual), elegant (gravitas) and…..? I’m thinking a nod to vintage rather than eclectic might be more accurate and fitting. It’s interesting how terms overlap yet do carry different connotations (your example of relaxed vs undone). Appreciate the welcoming words for those of us (back to ) grappling with style (post pandemic and major life and body changes). I feel like I have my 3 outfit formulas - And am using my three words to try and hone in on my own twist on things.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

I love that you are comparing and contrasting with your outfit formulas - a really good way to keep it functional but still have a bit of whimsy! Thanks for being here Hiba!

[@kathysteele3071]

This is SO freeing! I have 2 of my words-wish I could use 4! At least it’s a start. I’ll get it!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Ahh so glad you like it Kathy!! ❤️❤️

I have been following you for some time and really enjoy your styling ideas. I am also a separates person as suits (blazer with trousers) make me feel too uniform. Also I feel restraint in blazers (I only have 3, one in tweed in a light blue, one black and white dogtooth and a blackone), so that instead I own many cardigans. I am working at an office where men wear suits. This means that there is a lot black and white and therefore I prefer to wear more colour. I have added floral midi skirts to my wardrobe and wear them with plain T-shirts in the summer. In winter I mainly wear trousers with turtle necks and cardigans with special knitted patterns and literally always add a scarf. I love the Sabina Savage scarves for the beautiful prints. So I have found my uniform which I would describe with the three words comfortable, classic, feminine.

I guess my signature would have to be my gold bangles that I have collected from my travels that I always wear, like your rings it makes me feel good even when I don't feel like I am crazy about my outfit

[@alittlebitlaura]

Loved this. A few of my signature styles are my RBG low bun that I started wearing because of my wild hair’s response to the heat and humidity of the south, my minimal jewelry and big Sunnies. My style uniform has evolved over the years but always starts and ends with 3 pieces - a basic tee/tank, any bottom and a layering piece because I’m always cold. Cozy, simple, chic would be my 3 words. Thank you as always for the inspiration! ♥️

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Ah love those words and your uniform!

[@celeste-236]

I was ‘always cold’ & had my thyroid checked, it was hypo ( under active) always feeling cold, especially if others around you aren’t, is one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

I love your videos and ideas. They help me a lot! Kisses from Brazil!

All I have to say is you're awesome! Thank you for your advice and thoughts. 💕

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

So kind!!❤️

Collars up forever ❤️😍

[@flamingofan5411]

Great video! Love the black door behind you in the vid 😎

[@JAkk0428]

So helpful Alyssa! I like classic, but couldn’t figure out what didn’t resonate with me. I don’t like anything that is too polished or put together. Classic, Minimal, Artistic/Undone Last two are just a dash of both elements!

[@carlosruiz184]

I definitely have a signature style, I have always dressed very similar, my purchases are only replacements! I still have clothes from university and I am 59. People think I buy vintage 😂😂 but is just my closet!
