Rule #4 reminds me of a favorite Picasso quote that I share with my poetry students: “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist”

[@bethanyleonardo]

Love this!

[@Sanikaaaaaaaaa]

That's amazing !

[@ziondaughter5331]

eey yeah

[@christiechisholm5823]

It's so rare to find fashion videos that really delve into more philosophical approaches to style. I love the tip about irony-never thought of it in that way before-and the whole video is so on point. Thank you!

[@bethanyleonardo]

Love this, Christie! Bringing a deeper value to you all on these topics just brings so much more meaning to me. 💛

[@Lucine.Hairapetian]

Indeed, dear Christie, Dearly Bethany truly teaches style and she does it from a philosophical point a view. I appreciate the manner in which she provides information. There is also another youtuber, Anna Yakimenko who is a Russian professional stylist based in Milan who also teaches style and not fashion. Her concept is also about implementing style not only to clothes, but to our daily life in general, eg. to home interior/exterior, eating,... According to her, a woman with style is the one who is harmoniously stylish in every aspect of her life. You can watch her videos by putting on the Subtitles option in English language, as she speaks in Russian. She is very methodical in her teachings and very agreeable as a person to watch/listen to.

When you talk about clothing, somehow it feels like a deep meaningful conversation.

[@strikerchampi]

The way you put up the colors on either side of you really drove your point home, it was kind of crazy to see. One side just suited your energy better

[@bethanyleonardo]

Isn't it so interesting that just slight variations in color can change how flattering something is on you?

[@anushareddy6145]

Ooh the color one is so important yet so frustrating. The last few years of fashion have been great with warm tones like mustard appearing everywhere. Now I see many stores turning to pastels which do absolutely nothing for me 😞

[@bethanyleonardo]

Spring will be over soon and the warm colors will return. 🤗

[@lainelee3632]

It's a nice natural way of saving money, lol.

[@daniellegonsalves3745]

Yesss. My bank account has learned the hard way that no matter how much I love pastels, they will just never look good on my olive skin

[@sarastewart2633]

I wish brands would consider both warm and cool skin tones when doing their collections instead of focusing on just one each season. It is Autumn (fall) in the southern hemisphere right now and pastels are still everywhere. They don't do anything for me either.

I always thought I loved clothes but after listening to you I understood what the love for clothes and crafting actually means. You described it so well as if you feel every thread of what you wear.

I'm a broke lil fashionista. 98% of my clothes are from thrift stores. I can never afford anything over 10 dollars or 20 dollars. With a small budget, I really pick my clothes carefully. Color pallete wise, budget, quantity, and even quality. There are good days and bad. Sometimes I'd buy something that are too dressy or hard to mismatch. I'll just find myself wearing the same top and bottom cause only both of them work together. Your videos are really helpful to me. I always follow your tips. I religiously take note of your advices to heart. Especially the warm undertone advices. Life changer

"You can look in your closet and find, reinvent new ways to wear things." That's what I'm currently doing!

[@stupor_mundi]

Thank you, this is really useful 💖 especially right now that I'm doing a major declutter of my closet and I'm feeling overwhelmed by the large amount of stuff I have vs the small amount that I actually reach for and and wear daily. I held on to many things that I never felt confident walking out the door with (although I really did love the pieces) and I see now it was the undertone. I also need to downsize and I love the idea of a no-fail core wardrobe and the basic colour palette. I'll try to use your criteria to think of my current task as "shopping" my own wardrobe instead of a "declutter" and if I feel the piece I'm holding is not something I would have bought today, it will be much easier to discard. Even if it's just clothes, I feel when I streamline that part of getting ready (the wardrobe) it will have a huge impact on how I begin my day.

[@pavla2055]

Long before I could afford better fabrics I learned that dressing in colours that are right for my complexion to be far more expensive looking than any pricey fashions in unflattering shades . Often by being closed minded to new things on every front leaves many good things unexperienced in life . Modern classics are my style but I do occasionally buy something of another style sometimes b/c I liked something on someone else . The item is usually soon returned but I was willing to try it .

Hello Bethany 🥰 I love your content and your style and you’ve inspired me and educated me so much in my journey to curate my wardrobe ☺️ (I’m a petite and approaching the end of my 20s so I think my soul is asking for change!) I wanted to thank you for that and ask if you could do a video on your best practical advice to care for those pieces that you love and wish to keep for as long as possible. I know this may sound like Laundry 101, but other than separating whites from colors I’m not sure what else I can do to be nice to my clothes without becoming overwhelmed or sending everything to dry cleaning. Thank you!!!🤗

[@bethanyleonardo]

thanks Maria! You're not alone, that is a request I often get. For now I can tell you that I use a steamer on my clothes between wears. Steamers are more gentle on clothes than irons, esp silks. The steam deodorizes and somewhat sterilizes, aside from removing some wrinkles. I do iron when needed though. And I wash clothes with cold water on the gentle cycle. And I use Woolite delicate detergent for silks and woolens.
