Listen Hallease!!! This video spoke to my soul. I am your sister in "let me wear what I want to wear". Some days my style would be classic and clean lines, other days I'm gonna be rocker chic..then some days I want to be a free spirited Bohemian. I'm here for it all. # DontKillMyVibe

You are art. You are the best thing on youtube. Your ability to make a video about sharing your personal style into a moment of true reflection on feminity, comfort, and confidence is just remarkable. Adore you!

Saturday i was a tomboy playing football in my shorts and t-shirt. Come Sunday I was serving the lord in my princess dresses. I liked both tbh and still do!

[@KamisKisses]

Hallease you lowkey reading my mind. I've been trying to figure out my sense of style more now than ever. That transition from "modest" Christian upbringing to representing who you are is hard, especially when clothing was used as a weapon to shame women's bodies. I have a similar build, short torso, broad shoulders. This vid gave me some inspo so thanks :)

[@JoiDior]

Listen, while in grad school I lost like 70 lbs and could finally fit into all of the cute juniors clothings, so I explored wearing more revealing clothings, short skirts, crop tops, and almost everything had a peak-a-boo feature. I was happy with my body and wanted to take advantage of items I could never wear before, although, it wasn't really my style. Like you, I'm more minimalistic, and heir on the side of comfort. I love white and neutrals with a pop of color. Boots in winter, Birkenstock sandals in summer, flowy sweaters and tees. I just love feeling free, comfortable with an effortless type of fashion. I loved this video. The best thing is always to remain true to who you are and your own personal aesthetic.

[@hallease]

It's crazy how we all have that feeling of thinking things are better on the other side only to realize it was never for you. Same, I love loose tops

[@Wstrngoddess]

The Aerie oversized sweater & Jeans is something I could do Everyday of my life 😆 so much so that I actually hate it if the weather is too warm 😅

[@MzKegz]

I felt that with my entire spirit.

[@hallease]

Same. Fall/Spring is where my wardrobe truly excels

[@bellejmarie]

Me too!!!! Sweater w. Jeans/leggings girl here! 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@TititoDeBologay]

Give uniqlo a try, depending where you live, they have nice sweater you can wear in spring/summer. Some are oversized.

[@fatimasg1]

I really loved this video, and you looked good in everything.

[@letjwil]

Girl - I feel ya! I still hear my Nana “You ain’t saving nothing for your wedding night, I can see right through your dress!” Goodness, I’m working from home during COVID-19 and still put a scarf over my lap....ole’ habits die hard! Not to mention I live in South Texas and wear panty hose when I wear a dress. Growing up in a “traditional black church” - the struggle is real! For sure, my style has evolved from my travels and to my comfort! I would classify as Afro- Bohemian chic...nice ring!

[@Heir2themoon]

You have easily become one of my favorite youtubers, I look forward to every video. Very well put together, appealing to all the senses if that makes sense. Great video 🤘🏾

[@hallease]

Wow, thank you!

[@leenanorms]

‘But I could climb a tree if I needed to’ - is the perfect way to describe the ideal clothes 💜

[@tremolo2109]

I love this! A great look into the way someone else conceptualizes what they put on their body and how they present themselves to the world. My style is quite feminine, usually. I like hourglass silhouettes. I love pinafore skirts and dresses. I wear a utility belt almost all the time (it's a style that makes people think of Renaissance fairs) and wear boots (mostly black) almost all the time all year around. If I need to carry more than will fit in my utility belt, it's always a backpack, not a purse. I love to keep my hands free. I like to feel put together and some variation of cute or elegant while retaining the utility I enjoy. Sometimes, I like to look very sexy and provacative, when the mood strikes. I'm kind of in between plus size and straight size and am pretty curvy, and I haven't figured out making my own clothes yet, so I get really excited when I find a piece that I love

[@fdoctor79]

Modesty to me is soo feminine. Fan of Audrey Hepburn's style b/c she did simple and classy soo well. And I completely agree with I feel most attractive when I am comfortable.

[@hallease]

Oh man, Audrey was style goals. Loved her. You'd probably enjoy Bethany here on KZbin. I put her channel in the description box. She has an Audrey vibe.

[@GnarledBrain]

Wait, I’m realizing I got a short torso too, this was so helpful. As far as my cringiest fashion phase it’s a toss up between my early 20s “adorkable quirky girl everything is plaid” phase OR the “I go to the gym 5 times a week so I have to buy all my clothes from Fashion Nova” phase. They came one right after the other and whew chillay the whiplash.

[@dannygirl629]

Love the jumpsuits! Your skin and them legs are popping girl!

[@FaithAminaTV]

[@locsluv9013]

You have an awesome figure tho! You can get away with wearing anything! I’m currently in the faze of dresses. I feel like that’s more comfortable for me! I used to HATE HATE HATE dresses! Now I like them. By the way, that pink dress is beautiful on you! That’s the perfect shade of pink on you!

[@angeliaimeanttoloveyouharr8404]

Yesss that pink dress was everything😍😍loved the whole video

[@Zizi3]

I would say a phase of style I went through was wearing men’s clothes when I went up in weight and more feminine clothes when I went down in weight. It wasn’t intentional, I think I just did so because I felt uncomfortable with my body when I gained weight and also because it was hard to find clothes that I felt comfortable in that was feminine when I was chubby. Now I mix the two! :) and accentuate my waist more because no matter my weight I got a great shape haha Loved this video, nice start to my day

[@sunflowers_n_coffee]

As I get older I have realized that being stay true to yourself and that applies to everything. As long as you are at peace. I definitely agree with what you are saying.

[@karenlepage-mindfulmaker]

Oh yes!!! This is why I make my own clothes. I love this so much.

[@BledsoeConsultingServices]

Love your voice! Your confidence! Your humor! This video is everything!!

[@MistyFIames]

Ah I love this video so much! I've always noticed the cute but comfy style you have in your videos, and I'm so glad to find a video of you walking through your wardrobe! As an nb person, I also loveeee screwing over what's traditionally marked as feminine/masculine. I have fun making new outfits that combine the two or doing one thing one day and a different thing the next. I think that playful energy, along with the pieces being cute themselves, is what gives me confidence. I haven't 100% figured out what my style is, but I think I'm on the way of getting there. I also connected with liking my accentuated collarbones, along with having those days you just wanna show off your body! Looking back it's actually amazing to see how much my style has changed, and will continue to change from when I grew up under a very religious household. I think I also was uncomfortable with anything showing my arms or legs (even in summer) because of the incessant catcalling I'd get in NYC, starting from when I was a preteen. That's why I love seeing others and myself transform to their more confident, true selves after not being able to for so long! Definitely such a freeing feeling. Thank you again for this video and for all of your amazimg content Hallease! :)

[@Tishalocs]

Yes Tuesday Hallease videos for my soul! I’m still discovering my style after spending 20 years in retail. I’m leaning more to the bohemian side. I like loose fitting. I enjoy my oversized rompers. I struggle because I’m top heavy and I so envy you for the ability to wear bralettes. The less I have to do the better. Minimalistic is the way to go when you have too much going on in the mind.

[@carlisa21]

I can't explain to you how much I loved this video.

[@browngirlreading]

Comfort is where it's at! I hear ya on that.

[@CanopysGlow]

Men's fashion is more often than not what I've intrinsicly gravitated towards over the years as well. The rules are definitely more mutable.

[@SapphireStars]

Love your style❤️ As a plus size woman my style used to be called “Thou wearest whatever fittest”!Lol. Now, thankfully I actually have options and style. Because of my childhood spent in mostly men clothing since that’s all the fashion world allowed to come in more than an extra large; my current style is very feminine. I love bohemian tunics and dresses in pale pastels and creamy whites. I love prints like polka dots- florals, and leopard.I love anything with a puff sleeve or off the shoulder. I would call my style feminine and fangirl lol because I love geeks shirts and jewelry. I have fun Game of Thrones, Star Wars and Harry Potter t-shirts and jewelry ❤️ I’m a Virgo too so I love wearing things that salute my interests or represent aspects of my identity.

[@soulsista934]

The only phase I can think of that I had was an invisible phase because for a good chunk of years I wanted to just blend into the crowd. Now that I am much more comfortable with myself, I tend to go toward bright colors and bold/ graphic patterns with a big splash of comfort.

[@vagirl2012]

i enjoyed this journey of your life expressed through your personal style! currently working on a capsule wardrobe & your quote 'when I'm comfortable, I'm confident' resonated so hard. thanks for sharing girl!

[@KoDiAk0013]

such a thoughtful video. thanks. i found out only during my adult life that my inseam is actually pretty long, even though i'm 5'8. the inseam i prefer where the cuff actually reaches my ankles is 34". this in a world where women's pants rarely have their inseams published and its usually only 28" anyways.

[@SimplyC100]

[@aishawf]

Thank you for just simply being you... relatable! :)

[@extremelylongwords]

How did I just find this??? First off - our styles are basically the same. From the moment you said GQ covers. I love love love menswear. All of my style influences are male. Anyway, I dipped my toe in the scene phase in high school but I was broke and my parents wouldn't let me dye my hair (God bless them for looking out). But it helped me because I knew around college that I didn't really love typical women's wear because of how it fit on my body and how quickly the trends phased out. Like you said, menswear just made more sense to me. I began watching this video being so jealous that you made this video before I did, but now I'm thinking I wanna do a similar video. I love this

[@aubreyrouse9559]

I used to be queen of floral prints😂 I wore so much florals but it led me to the earthy tone/ flowy/simple taste I have now. And I 100% agree that if you are comfortable you are confident. I have a few clothing pieces that look good but I just don't like the fit and Everytime I try to wear them I inevitably change into a go to item that provides that comfort🤷🏻‍♀️

[@tumelokekana629]

This was so good. I went through the "any-excuse-to-show-my-legs" phase. I'm tall (like 1.86m), so I wanted to show off how amazing my legs are. Looking back to came from a hurt and insecure place. It's amazing how my style has grown from that place, not saying that I don't show my legs. I do 😂

I so loved this! I used to have a boho vibe that I loved that didn't mesh well with the styles around me. So I moved away from it. But I love, love, love adding in a touch here and there because it just resonates with me! I think you might like Alyssa Beltempo and her slow fashion videos!

[@faec.8950]

I used to wear polos in middle school. I really thought polos and bell bottom jeans were me. Then, like you, once I hit college I switched over to more revealing clothes. Clubbing was a big reason but also experimentation. I learned that I wasn't that confident in it. Oversized was my next place. I was and am still confident in that, but not as happy as I am now. I'm still rather modest but, I try to wear things that fit my body a little better. I do genuinely draw joy from putting an outfit together, too. So that helps. When I moved from fast fashion to thrifting and sustainability, it pushed me into a place where each piece was a reap decision which helped me build a collection based in thought. I loved the video!! ❤

[@_RayshawnC]

Comfortable clothes always wins. I look back on some of my old photos of my childhood and fall in love with the style. I barely have a style now but, this video has me thinking about what I would like to wear and what will look good on my frame.

[@nikkiep23]

I loooovvvvveeee this Hallease! I've been waiting for a long time. I remember when I requested this. So much more than a lookbook, though those are cool too. I'm 44 and I still struggle between what I would love to see myself in and how it actually translates. Yes I love beautifully tailored garments however, not practical in my everyday life. A t one point, I was into slouch dresses with leggings because I thought it was effortless and chic but all I was doing was covering up my curves and the look wasnt flattering. I love the juxtaposition of hard and soft as well. Thank you!

[@mzjonez7]

love this topic and your whole vibe! I’m currently exploring my vibe & doing some wardrobe cleansing while in quarantine. getting rid of stuff that just really doesn’t fit me well, physically/personality.

[@csickginger]

Confidence is comfort ❤️

[@cathrinechitewe4342]

Just turned 22 and still discovering my style but it has been described as hippie skater style as I own a lot of flannels and live in denim bottoms and combat boots all year round and love to layer but I do like the bohemian look. I'm definitely agree I think being comfortable is sexy and that's projects through as confidence

[@blufaerie]

I appreciate and share your perspective of how certain clothes make you feel. I am also a high comfort enthusiast, and I love the structure certain gendered clothing has. We shop a lot of the same places... ♥️ My Meh fashion phase was Boho/Festival style... I also have broad shoulders/high waist and just didn’t like how the drapey clothing looked on me... I was swimming in fabric.

[@Dayolddoughnuts]

Heck yeah, function over fashion. If it so happens to look good in the process then win/win

[@MsElizabeth05212005]

When I was a teen in the late 90s, early 2000s, I wore black, white, and MAYBE blue jeans. Partly because at the time I didn't think deeper brown skin girls like me wore colors and partly teenage angst. My mom always tried to get me to wear colors;I refused. NOW, I own these cute bright yellow shoes with this nice patterned dress. Colors are okay with me. Ah, maturity!

[@CeceNaturalful]

Omg this is so me! I like cute and comfortable. I wear what I like not really what's on trend and also what works on flattering my body type

[@MsGH91]

I had an American Eagle/Aeropostale polo shirt and hoodie phase 😂,mostly in high school and early years of college. But I think that defined my desire to be comfortable no matter what I wear or where I'm going. Now I wear whatever I want/feel and I'm definitely with you on the comfort thing. I always say I rather be comfortable and look good than looking amazing and be uncomfortable 💯. And I still love my hoodies and I'm usually lounging around in one,with just a bralette underneath 👌🏾

[@tkmatunda5029]

I really loved this video. I really love what you've been doing with the channel lately. :)

[@thefunboxphotobooth9833]

Androgyny-is the combination of masculine and feminine characteristics into an ambiguous form. Had to look that shit up! Currently working on self expression. Thanks for sharing

[@insulaarachnid]

Sympathise with having a short torso :-) I need people to recommend bralette brands to me. I was small chested till my late 20's so never really got into wearing bras, then had a drastic body change and got DD's. I am at a point now years later where I want to wear things that require some support/coverage but bras suck and I need help people! Past bad fashion(wow too much to list): When I was in my early teens somehow I got the idea that wearing stockings under jeans(with ripped knees) made me look like I had a tan!?! Most of the clothes I had growing up during childhood/teens largely consisted of hand me downs from my older sisters. Lots of things were slightly too big and I was a short and skinny kid. I still have an aversion to tops and trousers that should fit properly being too big and making me look(in my head) like a child/boy/clown. In my late teens I wore quite heavy powder foundation which I probably didn't even need, made me look super pale and possibly triggered my skin problems for the next 10 years! I wore lots of overly dark colours & had the idea that pale skinned white people like me should not wear white. No idea why but have since found the opposite is true & that a crisp white top looks great on me. :-) I really should not dye my hair most available colours (this is now an interesting issue as I now have a substantial amount of grey/white hair mixed into my natural brown. I like it and heaps of other people say it looks great but I am curious to see if there is a point where I cave & try to "fix"it). *Side note: I can recommend shaving your head if you ever get the chance, it was probably the sexiest I ever felt. Lastly: I love that I still own a slapband from the late 80's with MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" printed on it. Not sure it technically counts as vintage jewellery but I am keeping it!

[@hallease]

I actually shaved my head a few years back, that's how I started this second loc set and you're right -- such a freeing decision that helped me realize I wanted locs again. Also, I get almost all of my bralettes from Aerie and they're pretty good with sizing for a larger bust (surprisingly). I'm a 34D and I wear a medium in most of their bralettes.

[@insulaarachnid]

[@Martina_E]

Thank your for this video! Your style is authentically you: I like your color palette. I have a short torso too: this was a very well done style evolution video. 😊 In college I tried the revealing style and I didn’t like the attention either. My questionable style was wearing so many tight clothes. They were so tight and uncomfortable. Why did I do that? Now I’m all about easy breezy dresses and skirts. I like how your dresses are standouts and have sentimental value. As I got older quality and having less items in my wardrobe made more sense.

[@MzSoulll]

This is the style I've evolved too. I love it. As you said when I'm comfortable I'm confident.

[@Agoraphobication]

Totally did the whole goth/punk thing in middle and early high school (definitely questionable), which morphed into more of a hippie look at the end of high school, which morphed back toward the dark side with some more edgy/sexy stuff in my early twenties at college, then evolved into a more sophisticated but still rock and roll look in my mid-twenties when I moved to Austin, and now that I'm 30 and travel full time, I do mostly the European/Parisian style that you spoke about here. (I still own two leather jackets and some combat boots, though.) Now I really enjoy playing with style and putting together beautiful outfits that make me feel like I'm walking to the boulangerie in the Marais in Paris. (Incidentally that style will allow you to be anywhere in Europe and not stick out until you open your mouth and people hear your accent.) Fashion is cyclical in our society, but I think it also reflects how we're feeling during that time in our life. Now I finally feel like I have my shit together and love myself, and I think that's reflected in the way I dress.

[@ToniToussaint]

Your hair is looking good too!!!

[@nicoleisheretolearn]

Literally subscribed within the first minute of this video 😂 Love your vibe and your style. My regrettable past “style” was slightly baggy long sleeve T-shirts under baggy shorter sleeved T-shirts with bootcut jeans and slip-on trainers. If there’s any way of imagining that looking cool...well it was the opposite of that. My *true* style is full-on dumpy, which I secretly love, but when I’m making half an effort it’s simple: knitted pullover and high waisted jeans. Or T-shirt and shorts. I really love the tailored look but I’m not sure that’s my natural flow.

[@moi2995]

That lil two-step shimmy out the shot at the end had me chuckling. I like this video. I'm always curious how people would describe the way I dress.

[@allison.a]

Now I *finally* know where those amazing boots are from 😩. Its funny you mentioned not wanting to think about clothes too too much as you get dressed, but I always enjoy seeing your clothes in your videos.

[@humanbeing4368]

Men’s sweatpants, hoodies, sneakers and cotton tees are so comfortable. I’ve always had a masculine sense of style because comfort has always been a priority in most things in my life. So I’ve been labeled as a tomboy most of my life which is fine by me.

[@hallease]

Yep. I was definitely considered a tomboy growing up. I went through a strong jnco jean phase [CRINGE]

[@taneishajohnson3790]

Oh no, I am now getting into graphic tees, like from antropologie, I want to to chic and feminine tho.

[@JuliaJohnson93]

My style hasn't changed dramatically during points of my life it's expanded. I still feel very comfortable in jeans, tank or hoodie which was my go to "style" in my teens and early 20s. But the jeans I love now are more interesting and bold than the boot cut ae jeans of a decade or more ago. I never used to wear leggings, but then I tried them and now I loved them especially the bold patterned ones I can mix with a more simple top. or a bold top. I've had season which I'd feel most of comfortable in a certain look or type of clothing and then that would wane and something else would become my main highlight, but the things I enjoy are still enjoyed and I still love all of the styles and looks that I loved years ago and they get reprisals from time to time. I'm a huge fan of radical self expression through style and attire so for me it's a creative medium I use to express my thoughts, feelings and energy on any given day. Great video. 💜

[@spacecase7566]

Very zen feeling watching this video. I enjoy your aesthetic!

[@kristiburns3164]

Hallease, as always, I enjoy your ease of presentation and authentic tone in your videos! What I see in your sense of style is someone who is comfortable in their own skin. You look fab in your choices of clothing because you exude confidence in what you’re wearing. Pardon me but your frame is very much a cute lil hour glass.…… I see cute lil hips and proportioned shoulders. I know about a short torso though and only wish I saw the better side of the 130lbs. I’m always inspired by your content. Keep em coming!

[@mjmanning_91]

I’m so inspired by you.

[@fabell6]

During college I went through a phase of wearing jeans that were too small and looked plastered on. I’m prioritizing comfort now. Love your style! I also have a short torso and I am trying to find out if I can accentuate my waist without drawing attention to my belly that is always distended no matter what weight I am. It’s tricky.

Growing up my mother would fight with me often to wear dresses and be super girly lol. To a certain degree she still fights with me now😂. I have nothing but brothers so to me those skirts/dresses just slowed me down. Now at thirty I still prefer "men's" clothing. For a few years I was into grunge fashion heavy. Now I would say my style is more casual/boho.

[@jessyr706]

Enjoyed the video. I grew up in the church life but I have always had a style voice. It has evolved from the Neo soul India.Arie look to fitted bottoms and loose/flowy tops or dresses. I hate tight stuff. I've rebelled against popular name brands since high school and I'd much rather be comfortable in clothing that I feel like I can breath and move in. If it makes me feel like a contemporary dancer I'm down. You look like you had a good shout going when you had the windbreaker/shorts outfit on 😊

[@tremolo2109]

As a young teenager, I liked to wear all black and had a grudge against jeans because I found them uncomfortable, so I wore stretchy pants and sometimes cargo pants and lots of t-shirts over tank tops that I wore because the built-in shelf bra was more comfortable than a real bra. I still wear a lot of black, but I've figured out how to buy and style clothes that makes me excited to wear them instead of just tolerating them because they work. And I don't have parents making me wear a bra anymore, so that's nice
