This is an excellent inspiration video to shop your closet: blue jeans, blazer, cashmere sweater, white shirt. Black dress shoes and black boots, tan trench…. So far, check, check, check…. I’ve got these!

[@nicolealper3147]

your videos are my go-to for clean polished timeless looks. I need a strong fall work wardrobe edit. 🙏🏻

[@samschamaun5784]

I’d be so interested in a closet tour/ explanation of what you keep/how to keep from getting overwhelmed. I know this is your job, but I’m curious if you sell pieces as you buy new to keep a certain limit on your closet or do you have storage or do you just keep it all?? Haha so curious. I can’t afford it all at once but hope to build a nice sustainable slow fashion wardrobe with core pieces! I love your account but I’m always so curious about the behind the scenes

[@marthaross6301]

Swap the Manolo’s up, if the front toe box is narrow enough to contain your foot comfortably. You’re just making it. I got my first pairs, at 19, I’m nearly 63. I still wear them… on special occasions. When I lived in Chelsea ~ I was around the corner from his Church St Atelier. I used to watch his sister, Evangeline , walk through my square to the Kings Rd. The most elegant woman I ever saw. Custom Seville Row suits made for her. Her brothers shoes. Her elegant silver updos. My fashion icon. You have a similar fashion sense. I also have 79/80’s Charles Jourdan.. Classic investment pieces…. Are the way to go 13:58on for nearly £800… Size UP feet grow trust me

[@anettekvam]

Grey is my investment color of this season as well. Another great base color. Just bought the most divine cashmere sweater from Cos. They have the best ones! I buy one cashmere sweater a year and theirs last me so long. Great quality, for those on the lookout! Love how you pair grey with denim blue. I usually opt for my black basics but this was cute. Will be looking for a grey pair of oversized tailored trousers as well.

[@LydiaJaneTomlinson]

Oh yes totally agree! I have a navy one from COS and it's just such a staple and so classic! Love grey trousers too - good luck on your search!

[@liestheytell]

You are one of the very few KZbin style gurus I actually enjoy listening too & watch while they explain trends and options to wear pieces. Great job with your videos ! Much love 💕

HELP! I love investing in boots for the upcoming seasons. How would you style mid-calf boots, heeled boots, and over-the-knee boots? I always take notes on your tips, I’d love a video on boots!

It strikes me that trench coats are more of a UK thing. They are definitely not a priority here in Western Canada. A great winter coat, on the other hand, is a necessity.

I really enjoy watching you and your ideas of how to make basic outfits work. However, my only critique is when the video's sort of turn into advertising to buy and buy. How many coats and boots can one have and where can you store them.

I purchased my FIRST blazer yesterday from express but I went with classic black.

Another awesome video Lydia! Great basics for a good fall capsule wardrobe! ❤️ I also love your ‘what I wore in a week’ videos!! Lots of inspiration there too! The gray blazer looks great on you and the style is very in. I do not agree with a few ppl that say the video is purchase oriented! You have to use this video as a scaffold and make it work for your wardrobe! You have to first look in your wardrobe to see what u already got and if something is needed go to a store that works for your budget and style up!! Think of your own style and what you feel comfortable and great in!!

[@LydiaJaneTomlinson]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Very much appreciated

Hi Lydia, I know this is an old video, but do you still have the Manolos? I never saw you using them in other outfits videos.

Such a great video and beautiful pieces!! Those Manolo's are stunning! 😍 I never usually comment ...but i watched a video the other day of a woman who had a bump on the top of her foot like you and it grew bigger and ended up being something quite sinister! I hope this doesn't cause you pain 🥺 but i'm sure you would go to the doctors if it did! They are stunning shoes but don't look very comfortable! I have messed my feet up wearing tight shoes so definitely size up 😊 keep up with your amazinh content Lydia xxx

Those Toteme boots…

[@lizvolckman2051]

Wow Manola Blahnik , Filippa K , Toteme, Frankie Shop even Arket , you’ve certainly moved on from your Zara , Mango and Boohoo videos. It makes me sad that influencers , when they start to become successful lose sight of why they became popular in the first place . I’ve always thought how beautifully and elegantly you dress even if you are a totally different , shape , height snd age to me and could get so much much inspiration but sadly I find lately your style is justunachievable in today’s society and even if I could afford it some of these pieces a lot remind me of the story about the emperors new clothes 😬 Lydia please take this as constructive criticism as we are your customers in effect , if I have a bad meal in a restaurant I would say the same to the chef , could you try in some of your future videos incorporate more obtainable pieces or pieces sourced pre loved that way It helps people with less disposable income find a more realistic style .

[@danielled5883]

Use what she shows as inspiration. Screen shot her pieces and then google the image. You can find very similar items at lower price points.

[@elaineroberts7493]

I do understand what you say about influencers starting with brands such as Zara and Boohoo, and then as their videos become more popular, replacing them with the more premium names. However, this actually reflects my own journey - when I was young I bought cheaply, not caring about fabrics, longevity, or how items were produced. Over time, my taste in fashion has changed, and I am far more aware of how clothes are made and the fabrics used. I want well made items, in quality natural fibres, that will last. I can’t afford to buy them new, but have made some excellent purchases from charity shops and occasionally eBay. We may not be able (or want) to buy the actual clothes Lydia is showing, but if we like them can keep an eye out for something similar. As they become more successful, influences like Lydia are exposed to more premium brands and their tastes evolve.

[@LydiaJaneTomlinson]

I think you probably don't follow my channel or what I do, because what you say isn't true. I've never done Boohoo videos for one so I'm presuming you're mixing me up with someone else. Secondly, I've just done a video dedicated to H&M so perhaps you've not seen or maybe ignored that so you can make this kind of comment. I always share Mango pieces and constantly reference the brand, particularly on my Instagram. As for Zara, I have recently shown several pieces from there but have found that quite a lot of their items have gone down hill. Sadly the quality and styles that they're producing are just not what they used to be, and I've found myself not shopping there as much. Regardless though, my channel is all about inspiration and if you watched this video (or any of my videos), I mention several times that my content is for inspiration and ideas for you to adapt into your own wardrobe. I mention this with nearly every piece; that these are suggestions and I talk about HOW you can break down these ideas into your own wardrobe so you can suit it to your style. It isn't constructive when you've not really been following what I've said and been saying for years.
