Closet Confessions: My Style Through The Ages | Fashion Haul | Trinny

[@ellenmeilee]

Trinny I live in England and you have been my personal style tutor since you WNTW days. I poured over every word and picture in all your books and completely changed how I dressed when I realised from these that I have stubs for legs on a very long torso. You are so generous with sharing your wardrobe, exercise, skincare routines etc. I work in healthcare and through the pandemic your videos were such a positive treat. They kept me motivated and inspired. You are truly a British and now global institution and I wish you every continued success.

[@karenross5148]

I admire how you don’t put yourself down for previous outfit choices! Instead you honor the time/place/mood of the photograph. You are a GREAT example of the balance needed between self-love and effort!

[@millymay0025]

Wonderful thing about this video is that I grew up along the same time line as you Trinny, and watching you show and talk about these outfits takes me back through my life and style evolution too…thank you!

[@collettesteele1033]

I’m taking time to get glamour back in my life, turn 50 this year. Lost my mum in 2019 and she was my fashion rock. Watching your videos has made me look in the mirror and pause. Colour, fun and ageless dressing are my goals for 2023!!

[@marinabalsa3347]

I wish the photos were displayed a little longer . Love the idea of this video , looking forward to see more of Trinny through the ages

[@MsCValentiner]

Me too, I wish that the photos are displayed longer, with Trinny as voice-over.

[@seonmi1412]

Yes, and displaying the whole photos that show the whole outfits when available

[@sarahpitcaithly8099]

I have been working to add colour to my wardrobe after a lifetime of black. Black for work, black for play - lagging from a pseudo-gothy phase in my 20's. Now I am 54, I know that black will be an old faithful I will return to, especially when outside my comfort zone. I am enjoying making quick sew t-shirt dresses in bright knits, and quirky "cottage core" style frocks to flounce around the garden in, pretending I am gardening. Lol. It's not fashion, but I am finding fun in my clothes again. That is the challenge to dress for joy, not other people. :) Thanks for all the inspiration over the years. Now, so long after 'What not to wear" I see myself tapping into lessons learnt but not applied at the time.

[@Shungabali]

What a delightful picture review! OMG you looked stunning back then just like I thought you would .Thank you for all the tricks and the joy and the amusement your videos bring to our screens. With love and admiration❤

[@notaclue822]

Fabulous. I found you and Susanna years ago and I remember giving your book to my sister for Christmas. It was a hit. Then when I found you on KZbin I was pleased. I think it was at the beginning of your youtubing. Cheers and Happy New Year.

[@lisacroker3178]

My!! Trinny you were so pretty when you were younger, can see where your daughter gets her looks. Your still very attractive now. Thanks for inspiring so many women.

[@julieme7927]

Everything is stunning and you have always been so pretty. I think it's lovely that you still have so many of the clothes and that you have a daughter to share them with x

[@sheilasimpson9463]

Thanks for sharing such amazing memories!!! The first pic you showed, I believe it was black and white can I just say WOW how much Lyla looks like you and you like her in that pic!!!! I always look at pictures of my younger years and sometimes I could look like that again!!!! But now at 57 I have learned to embrace the women I am today and that is in many thanks to you!!!This year I am going lean into it more and take from my early years the playfulness in my accessories and had bags!!! Also I live the monocromatic look... especially the leapord...might give it a try!!!

[@BfromSF]

Every picture was a stunner! I’m 64 and transitioning from a corporate job to semi-retirement (docent, volunteer, tour guide…) and am struggling with revising my wardrobe.Also, while my weight has stayed the same, things have “shifted.” So, my goal is to cull my clothes and find a good post-retirement style.

[@maryokeefe5351]

Try thinking of what activities you will be doing and how you wish to present yourself in each. It takes time to adjust.

[@sallykins3800]

Well, what a beautiful woman ! Lovely look down memory lane 😊

[@nolaintheatl]

Now in my 60s and retired from teaching theater studies, I realized I had a wardrobe full of rehearsal attire and opening night, and nothing in between! I've always loved suiting and jeans (I was a teenager in the seventies). So now, even though I am on the zaftig side, (US 12/UK16 Petite) that is exactly how I am dressing. I like pretty tops with jeans, or rock -n- roll t-shirts with pants suits. Inspired by your trainer collection, I now have a few chunky pairs to ground wider legs, but I still wear ballerinas if the pant is slimmer. I also purchased a beautiful Phoebe Grace co-ord set (the most I'd ever spent before!). And now I am in a shop-your-closet phase, determined not to buy new things in 2023, but to re-invent myself every day from the things I now have. Before embarking on this phase I threw out what didn't fit (my frame or my lifetstyle) and made sure everything was tailored. We should always keep evolving, it's the only way to continue the pursuit of happiness. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

[@silviasauc8570]

What a wonderful video, thank you so much. I've been following you since the beginning, I have all the books, etc....great journey Trinny! Congratulations

[@louanneross6410]

I have always loved clothes and fashion and the whole creative process of putting things together. What I lovecabout you Trinny is not just your great and immense talent but that you embrace all phases of your life and the continued changes it takes. I turned 70 not long ago and have been feeling frumpy because my body has changed so since I was young and so thin. You help me to try and just embrace who I am now and dress that person and not my former self.

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@Lou Anne Ross I loved your comment about how much a part the creativity of clothes and fashion have played in your life. I reckoned that you were in your twenties through the 1970s. And then! I remembered how influential American fashion designers and brands were internationally in that, and later, decades. It was America that really brought 'hippie' looks to the rest of the world - for men and women. Then - Ralph Lauren and his prairie girl looks. Calvin Klein with the first notions of minimal dressing. /My first ever pair of patterned jeans came courtesy of a friend's American Aunt, in about 1972. I loved them dearly, and felt so special and original wearing them. /I hope your 'feeling frumpy' days are fewer now, and that you're back having creative fun with your clothes.

[@thegriffinwithin]

I'm going to be making some of my own clothes. Preloved also sounds good.

[@marionannmacredie]

I was AMAZED how much your 17 year old self looked like your daughter!! 🌼🌼🌼

[@avlsoc]

I understand what you meant by the ladies who lunch comment about your hair and makeup but I do actually love the make up. You looked very fresh faced and radiant. Great video and I'm looking forward to your project with the Trinny Tribe of their style before and after finding your great, well researched, sound advice. You are like a personal shopper to us all and I find it invaluable. You are the ultimate filter when it comes to online shopping which could otherwise be so overwhelming, exhausting and expensive.

[@fabienneheiles4926]

I want to dress to feel good in 2023, I have all I need in my wardrobe, I want to have another look and see what made me look good over the years and use that insight. I just turned 48 and starting to think about my 50's. Going full grey with my hair is another thought I have for 2023... let's see 😉

[@samanthapereira3733]

Love the flashbacks! I think it's time for me to make an effort with my clothes again.... even though I don't go anywhere!

[@kayelle8005]

That first photo of you and Lyla is so fabulous

[@utmostpotential-stephaniem5125]

Love this video! You looked so gorgeous in past years, but you now have a new, bolder look but are still stunning!

[@anitaoconnor8029]

I love love loved seeing these photos, I meet you and Susannah at Clothes Show live many many years ago and you were both so nice to me and my friend, you gave us so much lovely advise, which I’ve followed and have used throughout the years. My thing for 2023, to do more decluttering of clothes and accessories and wearing pieces that will last the test of time. Plus only buying pre loved/vintage. You are an inspiration, so thank you, and looking forward to moving forward with you in 2023 😘

[@janewiggins2552]

I loved seeing your different looks over time. I haven't bought any new clothes for two years and I absolutely love redesigning charity shop clothes for myself. You give me ideas about how to style them and I also like styling in a bohemian, over the top way. I'm 66 and love reinventing myself!

[@Buddhaobsessed2821]

🧘🏽‍♀️🎉Happy New Year!!!! I’m enjoying your videos Trinny!! Thank you.

[@archiediggins641]

My plan for this year is a more tailored look and shed stuff I really will never wear again. I guess a bit of a refresh. I got a load of vouchers for Christmas and instead of thinking I must buy something special, I will just get basics that I know I will wear. Happy New Year to you Trinny, you are just fabulous.

[@KarinaGauvinofficial]

Dear Trinny, thank you for all that you give weekly on so many social platforms. Beauty, tips, tricks and everything in between.You are a force of nature and an inspiration to women worldwide. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@jasbegs1258]

Trinny loved watching this - you are certainly like a fine wine - you continue to look amazing - but most of all - it i your spirit and essence that is very special - you bring utter joy - you really do. Stay fabulous. I am mid 50s male now and always love clothes and continue to do so. Luckily have "kept my figure" lol - or more or less . Recently looked out an old Paul Smith top from the early 90s had it taken in a bit and wore it on New Year getting compliments. Clothes (thankfully) continue to bring me such joy. A lovely girl in her late 20s recently left work and she said to me she would miss what i was wearing each time we were in the office. Another 'young lady who was to me, very stylish herself - would also compliment many of my outfits - e.g. a light gray Ted Baker suit worn with white trainers. I have only discovered you on line in the last year or so, but instinctively I have evolved quite similar to you - the trainers with suits, etc. Sorry for the long reply - however, gist of this is- you are fabulous!

[@MsIvebeenthinking]

I turn 50 this year, last year I began to add color to my wardrobe and take pictures of myself when I am dressed. I believe I have started to learn what looks good on me. So my goal is to buy what looks great on me and have fun!

[@clairekalemkeris4606]

Somewhat new to Trinny,but you can feel the joy ,pleasure,fun and refinement and most importantly heart. Thanks for your fashion history! Loved it! You look phenomenal in your current leopard scale shifting dots outfit and so many marvelous and creative looks you shared

[@LizNewtonZHUCHI]

I’m thrilled you are committing to circular fashion and pre-loved this year! You are an influencer and for you to model this, so many others will get on board. The carbon footprint of fashion and fast fashion and waste is profound. There is so much we can do to contribute to help ( and reduce landfill, slave wages, water waste, plastic waste, dumping our waste on third world countries that cannot tackle the problem) when we opt for circular fashion. Thank you for showing leadership.

[@susanduffee6613]

Trinny you are a beautiful woman and are such an influence in fashion. You were a gorgeous girl. Thanks for sharing your trip on Memory Lane!❤

[@TaniaMcCartney]

Absolutely loved this, Trinny-what a beautiful woman you are. That silver Marc Jacobs dress; omg. How I’d love to walk through your vintage wardrobe-what a dream that would be xx

[@valeriemccarthy1975]

Loved this trip down memory lane Trinny. You are such a stylish lady, then and now.

[@sarahthompson8130]

🙏 Happy New Year Trinny .. preloved and new are my go to .. memories are so important.. can’t get over how much you and Lila look alike .. Be Well ~ Namaste 🙏

[@lisbodilkarlsson2267]

fab as allways happy New year

[@116kimba]

Loved this, Trinny! I've followed you since your TV "What Not to Wear" days and always thought you were stellar (and you still are!!) I'd love to see more like this....Maybe take some of your old looks and reinvent or modify them for your age and style today? Just an idea!

[@cynthia0050]

So beautiful in all of these pictures! Inspired by the joy you take in glamour- this year hitting a pause on more items and having fun working with what I already own-which is a lot!

[@madalenacalleja1199]

Trinny you looked always beautiful 💃🏻👌 And you still got it Happy new year to you and your family 😘😘

[@hildurtildur]

I live in Iceland and I started to follow you on Instagram one year ago. Remember you from Closet confession. Watching you gives me confidence and I wish your product Trinny London was available here in Iceland. Suppose I could buy it online but buying make up one need to do that in person and see the colours. But your skin products I could buy online

[@dianelouie7327]

Trinny, seriously, thanks to you, I have been able to understand how to put looks together that work for me. I’m in a tight budget situation. As they say, champagne taste on a beer budget. I’ve been in a fashion slump for such a long time yet getting on with it because of you. It’s been great for my self esteem❤️🇨🇦🙏🏻

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@Diane Louie I think that really is Trinny's not-so-secret talent! To help reignite OUR self-belief about taking our place in the world - as women. And to feel good about how we dress, how we express ourselves. I fully agree about spending less the more we understand. As per Trinny, I too have said goodbye to three pair of patterned pants recently. Plus a sheer patterned, gathered sleeve shirt. Never worn - it was just never quite right. Plus three (3!) t-shirt tops ALL in a similar shade of pale, mint green. I think that colour was everywhere a few seasons back, and I convinced myself it suited me too 🙈 Good luck with your Refresh.

[@jdtaylor81]

Gorgeous fireside (closet-side) chat. Happy 2023 everyone.

[@yayahulles]

Going down memory lane 💛 How very special to share your journey with us all💛

[@kenziepeace6096]

Trinny wow this was so much fun and really interesting to see how your style has changed loved this episode.

[@dawson1ize]

I loved these and thought every single one was beautiful. The very first photo you showed I thought it was Lyla’s double! The shape of your face.

[@desola17]

Oh my gosh, I LOVE this video!!!! So lovely for you to share a walk down memory lane!! Trinny, you always have been, and always will be, such a BEAUTY!! ❤ Ps. Has anyone else said, Rebecca Ferguson looks SO MUCH like Trinny!! 😍

[@kelleeturner4324]

Adore the retrospective!!!

[@lisakinnally3719]

I started watching your channel recently. I can honestly say you are a beautiful person inside and out! I truly feel you do care about people and try to help them feel better and teach them fashion! I worked as a nurse for 40 years and raised my children. Watching your videos has given me the push to step out of my comfort zone for dressing and it is fun! Just turned 60 this Christmas, I can honestly say I want to take a trip to London just to see your makeup store! I've never been to England! One night just couple of days before Christmas I ordered your makeup, thinking I wouldn't get the products after New Year! Well, your products arrived at my front door just two or three days after I ordered them! Before the holiday! I was shocked and happy! Love what I ordered! Wishing you Joy and a Happy New Year!

[@jenniferphillipps2678]

You continue to look fantastic, you have evolved to the stage now where you dress for you and not for the camera or another person, which is great...that has always been my philosophy, though of course I was probably still afflicted with "fashion" stages, but nowadays I definitely where what I feel good in, comfortable, smart and chic without following any trend....look forward to more discussions as we head into 2023

[@P0SHED]

YAY!!!!! PRELOVED ALL THE WAY! Im crossing my fingers Trinny - I would absolutely love it! As someone who is now very mindfull of what I buy, from where and who made it - This is AMAZING! And props to you, for wanting to go more preloved.

[@stylebase]

Thank you for this video, Trinny. I remember watching you on BBC and trying to figure out what will work on my body :) My style also changed over the years, because I have been trying to fit in. As a weirdo, that was the way to try to blend in, but I always was out of the box, people always praised me for individuality and sense of style. However, now I noticed I am returning to what I always loved the most - very feminine, classical fashion - and I actually think it doesn't make me look older. I believe it is because I feel the best dressed up. That is what I notice on old pictures and recent videos of you, you always knew what to wear, because you have been dedicated to choose what you feel the best in.

[@julietluijpen]

Happy 2023 to you and yr TrinnyTribe! All of my life i ve been bying secondhand/Preloved clothing and combining it with "new" clothing. My challenge will be to only buy something what i really REALLY love and it has to wear well on me♥️

[@themrs.loggia4209]

I would love to see a video of you trying on some of the pieces that you still have from this video and how you would style your accessories, makeup, and hair now.

[@Analuisa_lisbon]

I remember most of these photos. I have been following you for a long time. You look great every time.,.❤

[@CountieLt25]

Saturday morning with Trinny!! I also will be buying more pre-loved! Two beautiful blouses came yesterday! One is totally inspired by that neon yellow and beige fabulousness that Trinny wore in NYC on way to airport! Happy New Year ladies!

[@KariTSays]

I have been MIA and missed that you thinned down even more! Beautiful before and now! Will have to search for video we’re you discuss. Happy new year!

[@dawnkinghorn2251]

Seeing your style journey made ma realise just how much Lyla looks like you. Gorgeous girls both of you. My challenge this year is to invest more time in me and my health and well-being. Fashion wise I am going to buy less pieces but better quality that will stand the test of time x

[@julieallen5655]

I’m going to buy fewer items and instead invest in good quality timeless pieces. I adore a bohemian slightly hippy look. I live in Spain and I’ve tagged a couple of shops in Madrid I’m going to visit in May! Loved looking back at your looks Trinny! ❤

[@marygrace100]

The peach dress and wavy hair is gorgeous! I want to buy fewer things but higher quality.

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

It was so interesting to see all your past photographs. I wouldn’t have recognised the 17-year-old you. I’m also buying pre-loved items from charity shops. I’ve noticed that the quality from years ago is so much better than the fast fashion of nowadays.

[@illanavangraan2416]

Trinny, I adore your style and your energy in general. I’m turning 45 this year and am very inspired by your concept of ageless dressing. This will be something that I will attempt to cultivate for myself going forward. Thank you for all the guidance and inspiration! Love from South Africa x

[@lisabailey6605]

That was fun. You looked great in every pic

[@aclassicapproach]

I remember some of those looks!! Pre-loved items are usually well designed and well made. There are substantial bargains to be made from charity shops, so this is an exciting new chapter. I will be showing how you have inspired me in my outfits soon.

[@karenwillis9563]

I like your honesty. I felt I always tried to please others with clothes. Either the men in my life, the mother or the shop assistant. I tried animal print for work and some of my young work colleages seemed to be amused. You are stylish and own animal prints beautifully. How do you define your own style? I am sixty and for the first time in my life I don't have any one telling me what to wear. I have gone back to clear out my wardrobe. I found a lot of buys were for others. What is your take as a professional on finding your idenity and stepping out in confidence?? Happy New Year Trinny to you and your team.

[@MadeintheUK987]

Yay… I was waiting for you to do something like this!

[@elainetorpy3885]

Loved that video, I’ve been a fan for so many years and remember so many of these looks ! I transformed my style in the WNTW era and have never looked back since. You are a great inspiration 😁

[@susanwilkinson3928]

Happy New Year, Trinny.🎉 I loved this closet confessions of your past and present pictures of you and your outfits. Fascinating and lovely to see you as a teenager...beautiful then and now. Lyla so like you and following in your footsteps with her own unique style. Used to love you and Suzanna on WNTW and love following you now. You inspire me and many others with your makeup, skincare and clothing style! ✨️

[@ingridajonaitis5954]

Beautiful Trinny,Enjoyed every minute of video.

[@mireille1594]

Fun and interesting video Trinny! I used to wear high heels and black clothing almost every day in my twenties; now I am in my fifties, and hardly ever wear those things.

[@daniellesherlock9725]

Would love to see a video of you shopping for pre-loved clothes.

[@pigeon51]

Been a fan of yours since the beginning. You get better every year 😊

[@antrey1157]

I have recently moved to Florida from Colorado and I’m grappling with my wardrobe. I love the idea of pre-loved clothing and perhaps need to find some shops to experiment with a new style for 2023. I so enjoy seeing you mix pieces…very inspiring!

[@BikePretty]

My wardrobe challenge for 2023 is actually to get a few women together (online) in a sort of accountability group and guide them through their own personal style development. Together we can build a closet that really works for us and helps us to look and feel our best.

[@lesleymcbride1162]

I still have the Zara silk long dress with side slits thing you show with your hair straight! Wore it to death with wide leg pants, courtesy of your style. One of my favs and can’t ever get rid of it!

[@sarahw1920]

Trinny you always look amazing but are never smug and are so down to earth, even though you live in a world most of us can only imagine, which is why so many people connect with you. I'm just off to Zara to collect some white trainers identical to yours - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so they say!

[@zabindhanji]

I loved this trip down memory lane. Your face seemed to have changed after you had Layla into more of the woman I see today. My focus for this year is to focus more on vintage, if I buy, it needs to be quality and not 'throw-away', and to commit to falling in love with my closet and getting creative with it as I have so many beautiful pieces. Thank you for the inspiration Trinny! Happy New Year!

[@lexkong8283]

Would love to see these outfits restyled since you’ve still got them and done up with current makeup! Loved the inspiration since the days of wntw ❤

[@susantaylor5068]

Happy New Year Trinny Fabulous history of “your styles” through the decades - you’re ageless! Faux pas - don’t think so! You’ve always looked fabulous and will do so forever 😊

[@vanicemyers1736]

What a life Ms Trinny!!! Thanks for sharing

[@mariachatzihristodoulou7529]

So glad I found you😊so many ideas, joy and love for life! I am so sad though, belts over dress never look nice on me😢 Any way, greetings from Athens, Greece!

[@leahcardzansi3924]

Be more bold when putting my outfits together even for work especially I am already none for having a big wardrobe 😅and coming to work with a different look every day but I definitely want to push the envelope that much further our corporate environment is casual but smart Monday-Thursday and Friday is dress down sometimes I will put something together and say in my head Leahcar that is to much so its not always listening to that voice of doubt and going for it is my vow for 2023 even trying once you don't know until you try 🤷🏽‍♀️but Trinny you have been an inspiration for me since you started closest confessions even though I know what I like and I generally don't struggle with what to wear but I enjoy CC, and look forward to seeing them as I know I will learn something every single time and have me mentally going through my own closest to see what I can create what would suit me but thank you, for opening up your closest. Be most blessed always 🙏🏼 😊

[@deborahvanderwesthuizen1114]

I think you looked stunning in every photograph. Many people would have given anything to have looked like you.

[@ludmilamudrikova]

Great video...the first photo, Layla looks exactly like you❤

[@ruthroo8954]

Your 17 yo old photo is just lovely!

[@laineydunlop2161]

Thank you for sharing your trip down memory lane. So interesting to see how you evolved. I am embracing ageless dressing although I have always tended to be quite classic. I am actually feeling more peaceful now that I’m not obsessing about buying new things all the time and am being much more considered which I thinks leads to greater creativity. ❤

[@reginamurphy2209]

I am committed to prelove & being more bold in mixing patterns & colors. I am also dressing for me and what makes me happy. Shopping pre-loved has definitely made me more bold in what I will try & mix.

[@mariavienna1305]

I love that whole wear of animal prints

[@vickinoeske1154]

This was brilliant and so inspiring. Thank you.

[@christinemack2153]
