9 STYLE MISTAKES YOU MAKE IN FALL 🍁

[@GoszkaGosza]

5:31 Is it really an achievement for a piece of clothing to last only 3 years? I have clothes my mum bought for herself in the 80s that still look great. Why do we now consider something "good quality" if it only lasts 2-3 years? It’s absolutely insane.

[@MrSincerity88]

Well yes. It is. You answered your own question. Your mom’s clothing comes from a time that’s long gone. Not sure why that’s hard to understand.

[@GoszkaGosza]

@MrSincerity88 I see your point, but I believe the issue lies with our expectations as consumers. If more people prioritized quality and cared about the environmental impact of their purchases, producers would have no choice but to adjust. The market ultimately follows demand. As long as people continue to buy cheaply made, short-lived products, companies will keep producing them. Change starts with what we as consumers are accepting. I have a lot of pieces that I bought 15 or 10 years ago and they are still fine

[@nancyblackett8777]

I expect my clothing to last longer than 3 years. I pay a lot for beautifully made pieces, made from natural fabrics. I look after them and don’t wear them every day. I’ve got puces in my wardrobe that are over 30 years old. Buy well. Buy once.

[@mmcs4973]

I agree! I work with much younger women who are shocked that my "stylish" clothes are often decades old! Quality never goes out of style, it's all how it's worn, and the accessories.

[@llkoolbean4935]

@@GoszkaGosza I agree

[@monakinnel9271]

I absolutely love oversized and long cuts on outerwear. I am 71 and a mere 4’9”. I just purchased a long black trench and feel absolutely fabulous in it! It is perfect in length but I could have sized up a bit as I can’t really button it; however, I wear it with a wide leather belt or, at times, belt less which allows my base outfit to peek through beautifully. I have learned alot from you about fashion over the past few years and have been able to create awesome and unique outfits that reflect creativity and interest. Thanks for all of your suggestions and style guidance.

[@jeanellreynolds7291]

FALL MISTAKES WE MAKE- 1. Wear shoes that’s unexpected 2. Tailor your clothes 3. Don’t wear cheap looking clothes (poor material) 4. Turtlenecks are great options for your base 5. Leaving the thread on the back of your coats (take the X off)😂 6. Stream your knits & don’t hang your sweaters) 7. Socks and tights (neutral-toned) 8. Cropped trousers should be right above your ankle bone 9. Wrong length coats (if wearing a long dress the should meet the length of dress) 10. If you are short you can wear maxi length or oversized clothes 11. Wearing things out of season (90% of your outfit is in the right season) 12. Not wearing colors & only wearing neutrals 13. Go to the men’s section ladies 😂 for coats and blazers

I learned a better way to hang sweaters. Fold in half putting the sleeves together. Then wrap it around the neck of the hanger almost like a shawl. Everything hangs flat without sagging!

[@KarenBritChick]

I have to try that!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Pockets: Back in the 1930s, Diana Vreeland wanted to initiate a campaign at Harper Bazzar to promote pockets on women’s clothes. Editor Carmel Snow vetoed the initiative, informing Diana that they would be boycotted by the bag manufacturers. So that makes me think that the lack of pockets on women’s clothing is calculated, not just a habit or tradition.

[@virginiasnyder1803]

I read recently that women's clothing lacked pockets so they couldn't carry coins or pamphlets! So sad!

[@nicolem7969]

Karen I live for your videos!! Loved every minute of this video. I live in Florida now and miss fall dressing…I’ve started wearing my trenches as dresses and pulling out my booties regardless of the temperatures. It’s fall and I’m going to wear at least some fall goodies!

[@elizabethpage2912]

Can relate 100 % I also now live in a hot climate - actually miss wearing warm clothes so much that I sometimes put the air conditioning on so I can sit in a cosy knit 😂

[@susanma4899]

There are some sweaters that I do hang up, but I have those satin padded hangers. I feel like they're hard to find nowadays, but whenever I find decent ones at the thrift store or in an antique mall, I always buy them. I remember back in the day some people made their own--it's an easy little craft if you have basic sewing skills. The sweaters that I don't hang are big and bulky. Their weight would stretch out the shoulders if I put them on a hanger. And of course in spring and summer all sweaters are stored in a box.

[@scGenMOT]

Old person here. I remember wearing men’s button downs and sweaters back in the 70’s because no women’s tops fit my very long arms!

[@NN-dream2b]

Thank you, Chica! When I was in uniform in an all-girls' high school, I was constantly in trouble for raiding my father's closet for his shirts, ties, and blazers - LOVE YOU!

[@audreyoliphant2395]

Yes And ruby shirts, men’s jumpers, men’s shirts with the tie as a belt …

[@doreenbibby7941]

You’re so right about tailoring about your clothes and wearing shoes that you wouldn’t normally wear with an outfit. I’m 🏃🏿‍➡️ to the section for my trench coat that’s so much for the encouragement.

[@dianafromcanada516]

I love when you film in that room, Karen! So dynamic, great energy and the light is great! Thank you.🙂

[@elizabethpage2912]

I hang my knit waistcoats but not cardigans and sweaters - I have no idea why I do this!!😂 love your passion and enthusiasm thanks for creating this space 🧡

[@helsdels9324]

Karen, I hang my jumpers. I cannot stand the mess of folded jumpers, forever having to fold them, they are fine on hangers. I like everything on hangers with a small gap between. I do put coats and jackets on a wider hanger to protect the shoulders. ❤

[@anniesimone]

Although I am a folder myself, (mostly due to space and that kashmir need to be protected in boxes at my place) a wool or kashmir can actually be hung without any damage, as they are so light. It's the more heavy fabrics that will stretch and at risk getting misshaped.

[@KarenBritChick]

As long as you protect the shape❤️

[@Divinenubian]

My favorite type of video fashion tips 😊

[@KarenBritChick]

Yay! Thank you!

[@hotdot10]

Yep as a petite I'm still drawn to oversized pieces & mens shirts/jackets. To make it work I get things slightly tailored & mish-mash them with a piece that's more fitted. Whenever people say my outfits really cool, they are usually referring to the oversized/menswear pieces - it's become my signature look 💖👍 great tips as always Karen, was in hysterics at the speech/rant - yep we totally get it & love it! 💗💃🙌

With your fantastic style and all the creative people you have the pleasure of meeting I say create your on pattern to add to the bottom of the coat that is removable.

[@taewill11]

Omg, I LOVE the men’s section! I used to steal my brother’s shirts, jackets, and jeans. When I can’t find what I want, I always find treasures in menswear! I asked the same question the other day, why don’t women have inside pockets? WHO decided this?!! 😂😂

No problem!!

[@GwendolynSolanke]

I love you, you give good advice! I am a curvy woman, so I won't buy anything from Lilly Silk. They don't have my size, but your style advice is very good info.

[@helsdels9324]

I agree, the sizes are very limiting

[@KarenBritChick]

You are so welcome! glad you love my running my mouth lol!! I hope they add more sizing so you can try their things. I have an oversize sweater from them (not shown) that definitely fits someone larger but hopefully they add more

[@DemureDarlings]

That blue skirt goes all the way up to a size 16 and they have XL tops

[@bethparker3205]

@GwendolynSolanke I'm a curvey woman and have the same issue with Lilysilk. Now I order from Quince. Their quality is great and the prices are amazing!

Wow! I’ve been wearing long wool coats since high school, & have known to remove the threads from the slit. But what about those ID “Pure Wool” tags some people don’t remove from coat sleeves?!😳

[@mandyshangalang1398]

A lot of us are allergic to wool . I really wish companies would make better alternative sweaters too . There’s a huge market for it. x

Yes, I see a lot of people are allergic to wool. Cashmere is a great alternative❤️

[@mandyshangalang1398]

⁠@@simonemouakkassah3024 thanks for the advice but a lot of people allergic to wool can’t wear cashmere or merino either due to the lanolin content. x

So RIGHT Karen about the pockets inside!!! 🤓😁🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Because of you I began shopping in the men’s section at thrift stores. I have found brooks brother 100% cotton shirts @ $9.00. I found a huge sized tuxedo short, too. Because of the cost I able to change it, cut it up, remake it. I am not a tailor at all but I can experiment. Thanks for the tip.

[@julietlove3831]

Classic, I like everything so good😘

[@eonarts]

I’ve been wearing ONLY men’s Levi jeans due to fit and POCKETS!!!!! Alas I have no shoulders so men’s jackets just don’t fit (motorcycle jackets are unisex so I do wear those. Being petite means I have to work harder. (My current fav Levi jeans are my black Japanese selvedge 501 tapered with a zip. I can wear them bigger and I don’t swim in them. I do have a couple pairs for 501 taper or slim fit that are both black and then one pr of blue all with buttons….). Women’s jeans don’t fit me well and then there’s the lack of proper pockets! I LOVE your sense of style even though I don’t wear dresses or skirts (nor loafers!)

I’m highly allergic to whool..! My skin just can’t..!!! So it’s cashmere, or Alpaga..! Love Lilly Silk as well, never itchy..! It’s a budget, but those pieces last sooo long.!

[@1110karin]

I agree with wearing shoes for the season but as open toe or sandals are a no-go for fall/winter I also wouldn't wear backless flats/shoes then. Also I need to match my beltloop to the belt but that might be a little OCD. I love all the cashmere styles and wish I didn't live in Florida or get easily warm in anything that isn't easy breezy.

[@srp8977]

You are the one years ago that opened me up to the mens area. It is great❤

[@marieoliphant8305]

Just removed 5 sweaters from hangers! I had to put in a box. I’m out of storage space. 😂😂😂 My favorite fall accessory has been socks. Especially red, with jeans, and loafers. Cheap fun. ❤️Picked up a gorgeous corduroy men’s blazer for $7. on Poshmark. Even came with matching vest. I’m obsessed!

I hang knitwear. - of course on padded hangers. Only quite lightweight knitwear so that it doesn't stretch

I work on a college campus and yesterday was actually rather chilly. I saw a girl whose outfit had me shaking my head. She was wearing an extremely short white eyelet dress with white sandals--long bare legs. It made me shiver just to look at her. And then so she wouldn't freeze she was wearing a black hoodie zipped up with about three inches of that mini skirt peeking out the bottom. I just wanted to ask her why she was dressed like it was the 4th of July...?

[@keishacox3735]

A college camp.. most aren’t making a lot of money, you don’t know her lifestyle. Never judge people you don’t know, because you never know her struggles. She’s wearing clothes and she’s warm. You can help by donations but other than that…. Shhhhhhh

it's a no to the turtleneck for me. i inherited a short, thick neck from my grandma. i've tried turtlenecks, but they never look right. i also don't like the sensation of them, so it's a "style mistake" i'm more than willing to commit 😆

I don't agree on the length of the coat with skirts/dresses, I never wear a coat that is longer than skirt/dress but that's just my preference, but everything else 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 And you're right about men's blazers/coats they are so much better made than women's and the inner pockets are such a useful detail 🙌

I don’t like lily silk because I think they are overpriced and they all over the place but you may have convinced me to get some prices from them.

[@thalia8023]

I find it really difficult to find natural fabric clothes nowadays, even from high quality brands, you always have to check the label! I feel it wasnt like that a few years ago. everyone is going polyester or similar :(and it is not just recognizable by the price, even sweaters for over 100 bucks can be 80% polyester, it's crazy

[@judithholder2537]

Raised by a seamstress. It all matters - the "hand" fabric cut steaming seaming lining ETC. Yep that x is a stay stitch or a retaining stitch meant just to hold smooth until worn. Free the fabric! Cut it off! Same w rectangle on cuffs of outerwear. It is a proud label fr the brand, NOT to be kept on once purchased. If you run around with that, it sends a msg: either ignorance, laziness, or insecurity (u gotta advertise?!)

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Red on you (sweater) with Red lipstick is just the bee's knees. You look GREAT in color. Yes we love gray + black. BUT...you just light up with color.
