I loved these tips. Super practical.

[@JesusLopez-un6mw]

I just want to point out something that you asked: Why is layering clothes important? The primary answer for me at least is because it will help me stay warm not looking good. I’m not dismissing your wise advice about looking good at the same time that you layer up and I appreciate it. Just and opinion 😂😂😂.

Hey Ashley, could you make a vid about dressing styles for bodybuilders? Seriously no one talks about men with larger body frame. PLEASE THX

[@coachcleats13]

When I hit the lottery, I'll be able to afford you as my stylist!

[@outifaout]

The only woman who teaches me how to dress with style ! Thank you for these valuable advices 👍🏼🙏🏼

[@Jason.King.at.your.service]

Lol.

PLEASE START A WEDDING PLAYLIST FOR GROOMS! IT WILL BE HUGE!

You're the best stylist in the world!

[@padbender2972]

thanks for the trusty advice...rebuilding my wardrobe with your guidance

[@tbrown4080]

I think the models look at 6:30 works because the skin tone and jean color goes with the grey under shirt.

[@Mrlonelygoat]

This was a great video...now I just need it to get colder where I'm at.

[@marwankobrousli9107]

How about wearing a cream or light colored sweater? How do you wear something lighter underneath especially with a lighter skin tone?

[@pradippun5801]

Timing is perfect Ashley ❤❤

[@geovou81]

Thank you very much for your styling lessons

[@tma615]

Aha! Eureka! I saw you sneak that pic of a puffer vest there Ashley! Are you coming around… anyways, I’m taking notes for sure, thanks as always!

[@AndreeaCe]

Like how do you do layering in photoshop? Mixing all those textures and shades and nuances. How come come that can be good at Photoshop is lousy at layering textiles?

[@gregorymarrero1275]

Good stuff 👍

[@KrisCortez]

My beard this month No Shave November is also a layering piece for me

[@JohnJohnson-do3db]

Thank you for the great video!

[@SaadZaghloulStudio]

Great tips!

Just waiting for someone to sit down, and watch a fashion advice channel, then say they don't want fashion advice.

[@WarrenWinter]

You won’t wait long

[@Jason.King.at.your.service]

They come up in your suggestion feed. Then you watch it and realise what shite she's talking. Just because she takes it upon herself to offer her OPINION doesn't mean she's actually right.

[@Soldadodelreyno]

Nice fashion Videos 💯🗽🌆

[@qazyhn94]

this is actually very helpfull

[@Msambweni]

[@Soldadodelreyno]

[@marksudell421]

I have a video idea! I live in LA and dressing for Fall and Winter is... different. No coats. Could you create a fall n winter dressing video that us westerners could relate to? THAT would be awesome.

[@MrTheomighty1]

Anybody know where I can buy a green trucker jacket in the UK 🇬🇧…

Asos,Amazon, google

Walking to my closet right now.

[@RODTX71]

Great video. I always get ideas that inspire me to incorporate items in my collection that get neglected otherwise.

Who ever got you as a wife is a lucky guy its like hitting the lotto

[@marcomongke3116]

It's a bit of an off-topic comment, but "what a wonderful looking hair!"

[@user-om4wm6pt2u]

I’d be sweating my was off 😂

[@sdmugabe]

Excellent advice!

[@ByAzura]

Hey Ashley, help me out. I live in the SF Bay Area and outdoor vests are everywhere. I’m talking fleece and puffer from places like Patagonia and North Face. What’s your opinion on them? How would you suggest someone wears one to pull it off. Thanks and huge fan! Keep the content coming!

[@Heritage_likes]

Solid guidelines before breaking the rules.

[@karll.kruger1603]

Another great video, Ash! Love your content!

[@joer8273]

Super informative and helpful. And again, a shoutout to your effort, Ash, in using SO MANY examples. That surely makes your videos take longer to edit, but it’s part of what makes you one of the best!

[@LeroyCReed]

Ashley always focuses on details such and texture and weight.

[@Leonardo_Yoon]

I love this style of educational videos on outfit fundamentals! Please do one with shoes and matching color/style with the rest of an outfit!

[@andreleverettejr3747]

Men, the gentlemen she showed to make a ridiculous point that you can't wear 2 or more patterns at once. Yes you can they just didn't know what were doing anymore than Ashley knows what she is saying. -Menswear Expert and Master Tailor (22 years)

[@andreleverettejr3747]

Everything else said except promoting that cheap ass sub par Amazon sweatshop brand coofandy, is agreeable.

[@FragranceGlitch]

I just be a model then, because I wear a t-shirt with an overcoat often and get a significant number of compliments. I skip more layers than she says, quite often. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ojibwayinca8487]

This really is a practical video full of helpful knowledge. I certainly appreciate it.

[@Ryan-np4ni]

Overall, I think Ashley's advice on dressing up may help those who have no idea how to dress anything ever. I think I certainly would've appreciated her advice had I seen this like in late 2000s. But the problem is that while her advice are all somewhat decent, she's totally stuck on that look and feel of 2009~2014 period. All of her videos and all of her consistent viewpoints really reflect the fashion trend of about 10 years ago. But much of the fashion world has changed since then, and she's totally stuck in that time period. The more I've learned about fashion (I live in NYC and have a lot of fashion designer friends who graduated Parsons and FIT), the more I've grown to accept new styles and maybe even create new things on my own. The kind of styles Ashley recommends are exactly what I used to do right around 2012~2014, and while I still do like a lot of that look, I feel like they would really limit the men of 2023. It's a nice starter pack for a 21-year old kid who graduated with computer science degree know nothing of anything yet.

[@huyennguyenkhai7632]

I kinda disagree. Her advice is on style, timeless items that works well with people who want to look great effortlessly. If you look up her client, you will be amazed with her skills and talent.

[@ahoneyman]

It's a method not a recipe. The ideas about layering with the lighter fabrics closer to the skin is sound. The idea of having one statement piece and framing it with more muted and solid colors is sound. There are methods of layering. The simple jeans and solid color sweaters illustrate the layering concepts well. Basic outfits for basic layering techniques. Add different pants, sweater and coat styles, and statement shirts as needed. The 1/4 zip sweater is a great utilitarian piece. Take the tie off, leave the sport coat in the car and you can go meet your friends somewhere without feeling overdressed.

[@Ryan-np4ni]

​@@huyennguyenkhai7632 To each his/her own and I have no problem if it works well with you. Though I do agree with you that she likes to touch base on covering things that are more basic, timeless styling, I personally think where she loses people (and if you watch all of her other videos you will constantly see a common trend of complaints) is that she keeps "defining" certain other looks as horrible and wrong. I myself definitely did a lot of Ashley-esque styling in 2012. But I think she's just too frozen in that timezone. Fashion isn't just about one style, and after you master the basics, you get to learn to experiment and expand more upon it. We've come a long way since 2012 and many of the new trends have sprung up and gone. But through that process, we've also learned to "never say never" and embrace the "new norms" of fashion. But for Ashley to outright brush off certain look and feels as wrong is where so many people are unhappy with her. I myself used to think just like her in 2012. I myself used to dress only in certain ways that I deemed "classic, timeless, and ultimately, somehow better." And I also scolded the new young kids who would somehow break those code of conducts. But gradually, I've learned to embrace some of them, and adapt some of them to my timeless styles also. And guess what? that's also part of fashion. I still think there's nothing wrong with Ashley trying to educate the super newbies. It's just that I think she'll continue to be harassed by the commenters like they do nowadays as long as she's totally locked up in 2012.

[@huyennguyenkhai7632]

@@Ryan-np4ni I guess we agree to disagree. But as she has a subscription page that has more advice, we might see more if we pay for the service. On the other hand, she dressed Chadwick Boseman amazingly if you look it up. But I see your pont

[@Ryan-np4ni]

@@huyennguyenkhai7632 Oh yeah definitely there's nothing wrong with that and I respect you. As I mentioned before, I used to follow that Asheley-esque styling like a religion about 10-11 years ago myself and still do enjoy styling mostly like it even today. Just not always and not completely anymore that's all. So I do think her styling tips would greatly help those who are beginners to styling for sure. I think that may also be the reason why her videos show up on my algorithm feed every now and then. Though I'm not a subscriber, I've watched quite a few of her videos over the years and have noticed certain moments where she absolutely downplays certain looks and that's the part I wanted to point out. Good styling usually needs some "guides" for sure, but being too stuck in it to a point of brushing off anything else is usually a tell tale sign of fading out in the fashion world. (Of course, I do understand that she's not a fashion designer herself nor is she in the mainstream fashion business either so I'm not here trying pigeon hole her into the fashion) It's just that I have a lot of friends who graduated Parsons and FIT (and anyone who knows fashion would know that these 2 schools are the best top 2 fashion schools in the whole world) and are professionals in the field of fashion. (and I also graduated from one) I understand Ashley isn't trying to go in the direction of fast fashion, but I've learned to evolve just a bit to make my own amends with the "classic, timeless, gentlemanly look" with some flexibility. A lot of heat Ashley sometimes gets comes from outright downplaying certain items and looks even though the world of fashion has embraced them for quite some time. I remember being just like that in 2013. Styling, to me, also has a lot to do with the person's background (like profession, culture, age, etc). So I understand sticking strictly to this look might work for some people. (It's funny though... that when you're a young man, you want to dress a bit older and as you get older, you want to dress down a bit to look a bit younger) Nothing wrong with that for sure and I hear you also.

[@unmissable]

Those are hot weather clothes in my country and none of them look waterproof.

[@danielfrancis3660]

Maybe its ,just me but haven't men been layering clothes for years eg tee shirt, crew neck jumper and wool overcoat?

[@Chernochegger]

Probably shouldnt insult our audiaence from the getgo

[@schw0373]

The guy at the end who has tons of layers isn't trying to look "streamlined," he's trying to make a statement or show off to others at Fashion Week or something like that. People like him aren't concerned with traditional style advice and are all about standing out as much as possible.

[@lisaroberts8556]

Ashley understands the Rule of 3. It’s even a universal law in nature. But it also applies to style. Ash 👍

[@martinperez2346]

Thank you ❤

[@Tryambakam108]

The only style opinion that matters: your own.

[@kohort1]

These rules are too strict. Just don't clash patterns. Contrast colors unless you want to intentionally do something monochromatic. Try to compliment textures. Don't over do it...

[@pandafragrance]

Haven't watched this channel in years. What happened to her husband that was in every video. No ring, either. Guess a casualty of Covid? Sad.

[@GlenRoberts-o7y]

Pmsl what does this little girl know?
