Your channel is one of a kind. You are brilliant. Now for the hard part - to try and style myself.

[@LydiaJaneTomlinson]

What a kind compliment! Thank you so so much! ❤️ Ahh I’m sure you do a great job at the styling!

[@wolfpacgaming5353]

@@LydiaJaneTomlinson will u do a heel collection tryon?

[@christine1962ful]

@@LydiaJaneTomlinson The white shirt in the video is definitely not the one in the description box. Can you remember what brand etc is the one you are wearing? Love the wider panel on the buttonhole side!

[@Seraphicallia]

Lydia, thank you so much for your content! I’ve been recovering mentally and emotionally from a traumatic c-section when my daughter was born prematurely. She spent 4 months in the hospital which included 4 surgeries and was left with a disability. Being thrust into such a difficult time did a number on my mental health. Never before have I needed to feel worthy of being seen as now, as I find my feet as a special needs mom. I’m absolutely loving revamping my wardrobe and your style tips have greatly helped me!! From one KZbinr to another, well done and keep up the great work!!

[@LydiaJaneTomlinson]

Ahh first of all, sending you so much love and positivity on this new journey that you embark on. I’m sure it takes so much strength but it’s so worn it for your beautiful baby girl ❤️. Hoping things get easier as time progresses! Thank you for such kind words, so happy to hear that my little fashion videos can bring you some job and positivity! X

[@eileenvaughan6702]

All the best to you .......

[@Seraphicallia]

@@LydiaJaneTomlinson Thank you! Means a lot to hear from you! Your style is always on point :) As a creative and speaker myself, I've learned that you never know who your words are reaching. Hugs to you!

@@eileenvaughan6702 Thank you so very much!

[@Michelle-st1ph]

Wow. We literally had the same experience. I couldn’t walk for months. My baby now 3 months yesterday.

[@SC-td4ct]

I love that you are now showing clips of what not to do, it really helps!

[@lizp.6585]

I don't know how you do it but already 10 seconds into your videos I know that I will learn how to style better, be inspired and enjoy looking at the various looks. It is absolute eye candy and your voice - I just love it!

[@heathervalentine8222]

I really liked the white ankle boots. That all white outfit is so refreshing for a winter look. The contrast of textures made it so interesting.

[@737700flygirl]

Lydia, you have such a great eye for proportion *and* a real talent for explaining why things work or don’t. The long heeled boots are my favourite, I am trying to find just the right pair right now.

[@senoje]

Thank you, I remember a few years ago when we were told not to wear your pants bunched out of your boots like you are showing at 15:29. Instead, we were told to wear skinny jeans inside knee boots. As with all things, fashion styles come and go, so wear what works for you. I agree with not wearing tight clothing on the top an bottom. I could see wearing an oversized blazer with a fitted top.

[@n.b.3521]

Fashion changes all the time, but neutral changes are easier to mentally accept for some of us elders than ones that might have had a negative connotation at one point in time. For example, I might need to see lots of people tucking looser pants into combat-esque boots for a few years before I stop associating it with neo-Nazism. But maybe that's just me.

[@michelebrotman5345]

I don't like that look at all. Looks sloppy to me. The tight jeans looked better with the slim boot. My opinion.

[@julieboatner1898]

Lydia or tall people can pull off this style however for me personally, it looks sloppy.

[@YouBridget]

The cream us so sleek and great for a winter monochromatic look! Just beautiful

[@Edh1]

Speaking of balancing of chic outfits. You’re definitely one of the best KZbinrs on styling(probably number one in my opinion)

[@heatherboyle217]

Oh!!! What a well presented guide to how to wear boots!! You are a gift! My fave’s are the white pointy toed boots, they are gorgeous! Please know how helpful you are to all of us!!

[@karaerickson7232]

Thank you again for your wonderful tutorial. I always learn something new. Love the cream boots with outfit 2. You give me inspiration to wear light colors in winter!

[@bachba1086]

I would love to see some tips on styling short skirts. I wear them a lot during winter season, always with tights (full cover tights). After watching your tips I think I will buy some midi or long skirt/dress, and definetly some knee (or over the knee) high boots. But still - I love mini skurts during winter season, so tips with them will be so helpful :):)

[@Innaylnikova]

So great and useful lessons explaining why things work with each other and why others not. Usually others just show the result and you show the process explaining why needs to choose those specific items to combine them all together. Thank you for your hard work!

[@Dahlia_sunset]

Hi Lydia, love you personality and style. I'm wondering.. In the beginning you show your white tank with the white jeans and how that doesn't work. What about for the inverted triangle like me? Wouldn't it balance me out more? And can one pair a high knee boot with an all black knitted dress or skirt? (Having funeral in mind).

[@alicehur577]

Awesome video. I would really love a deep dive on the chunky heeled ankle boot. Been wanting a pair, but can’t figure out what kind of pants/tops to wear with them. Love all your videos. You are amazing!

[@lynndupree1205]

So glad to see you wearing the western boots. I know they are not as popular in the UK but here in the US, one cannot say their shoe collection is complete without a pair. My only comment is that a black pair of western boots can look better. I wear them with jeans and a white T, and top with a short denim jacket. Add chunky silver jewelry to add an authentic western look!

[@AltoonaYourPiano]

You look absolutely stunning as always in those gorgeous outfits, they all look amazing on you (both the dos and the don'ts). Ironically, my favorite one out of all of these for you was the one with the leather skirt and short chunky boots that you weren't a fan of, haha, but ultimately you know what works best for you and that's what matters in the end. I'm always impressed with the amount of detail you have with your knowledge of fashion and aesthetics. I've enjoyed every one of your videos I've seen so far.

[@veannewillson]

How amazing as I’m looking for boots and came across ur channel. I love all these boots and perfect timing with Black Friday sales.

[@hildaket7313]

Lydia, thank you for your great lessons, every time a learn something and I have got great joy off it.

[@joelleberney8134]

Love your Channel, your style and all your teachings! You can ne proud of yourself and of your job!! Love the black boots you styled in the first outfit!!

[@afaf5708]

I am in love with those knee boots 🖤since the time I saw you wearing them with the Massimo Dutti skirt. Btw, your videos and Instagram has been very helpful, I bought new pieces that I've never thought I would wear and they look amazing on me. Thank you.

[@valentinabirgaoanu]

I like the cream boots very much. I always wanted to try and wear lighter colors in winter but I feel like they don't pair well with dark shoes and that's all that I have. You make it look so easy to style these pieces.

[@Vincentianbeauty]

Once again another informative Video which addresses uncertainties this 59 year old was having re boots and once again the information provided means new outfits without spending- thank you Lydia another great video saved for future reference

[@its_sarandipity]

Thanks Lydia! Can you post a Dos & Donts of FLAT boots video? not much out there on styling flat boots

[@Melissazimm]

Loved this!! I especially love how you style skirts without looking too girly. Please do some dedicated skirt videos!

[@sophiereynolds21]

[@fc4660]

Thanks for the master class Lydia, really helpful and fun pieces

[@katiejames6209]

Love this. Could you do some videos of do's and don'ts if you're very hippy/curvy? Like best lines to look taller and best proportioned?

[@Kimberley_DB]

Girl, you're so clever! Watching your videos always gets me inspired 😉

[@curlydais]

Thanks very much for this really informative video Lydia. Can you please do a video on flat boots, how to style both dressed up and down? I avoid wearing heels but still want to look elegant ☺️ Thanks!

[@claudiavorak359]

I realy like the first outfit. I m planning to wear it one of these days. The white ankle boots look great.

[@annievautour9069]

make a do's and don'ts for styling mini skirts!! I have some Wilfred mini skirts that I do not know how to style! they seem harder to style than longer skirts from this video...

[@lianemilani8821]

Hi Lydia, I would love it if you could do a similar video about what boots/shoes to wear with full leg/longer legged jeans like vintage 501. I just bought a pair and I love them but not really sure as how to style them with ankle boots as I don’t really like the look of full length jeans where the bottom of the jean hit the boot at the ankle or maybe I just have to get used to that silouette again, not sure. Also bootleg trousers, I used to wear them in the early 2000 with pointed heeled ankleboots but I would love you to show how to wear them with low shoes/boots, especially if you are not that tall. For soms reason they feel wrong with low boots but I am hoping you can provide some inspiration. Sneakers are just too cold for me to wear in winter so as a result I haven’t worn them yet 😅. Thanks very much

[@luanneriddle9093]

I love your style! Thank you for the dos and don’ts. The cream outfit is beautiful!

[@kjmassey911]

I’m in love with those black boots! I love your style and one day soon I’m planning to do a capsule wardrobe by watching your videos. Love everything. 💗

[@lenaokamura9279]

Love all your selections! My favourite is the black pointy toe boots - the air-touch foam technology sounds incredible for everyday wear!

[@lizcalo12]

Lydia, congratulations! This video is the best one, I’ve seen in YT. It’s necessary to discuss about proportions.

[@Sophia-oc4kl]

The white boots are my favorite!!! And ps I absolutely love your channel.

[@MariaMariaDantas]

I love your videos, I think this was the best ad placement I have ever seen! If you could add more examples of dos and don’ts for each look it would be awesome! ❤️

[@SarahKotri]

So do you never think it looks ok to show leg between the boot and clothing item? I'm a bit confused about that. Otherwise, great tips.

[@georgianaalissa5130]

Thank you for all your advice. It helps a lot and will help in my life or business. You're amazing!

[@AtlasArt784]

I truly admire your sense of proportions and your style!🤩 So schick and wearable at the same time!

[@dinahweisberg750]

Great lesson in proportions! I often struggle with the end result of pairing boots with m outfits, feeling that one end of me or the other ends up looking too fitted or blousy in comparison with the other end. You've given very helpful tips!

[@lidieyay7324]

Love love love You know that gap you were showing with long skirts and mid boots. Well, could black tights be okay to close that gap?

[@teresapais7695]

Hello Lydia. Thank for this video, I loved it! I'd like to ask you a video about how to wear a vest: with or without a hood, under a coat or as a piece that finishes off a set of layers. Thank you!!!

[@carolineyates9039]

I love the white jeans wth black boots. Thank you for yet more wonderful ideas Lydia. The chunky knit is a good idea. I would never have thought of that. My favourite boots are the 7or9 black pointy boots. I do like the white boots with the satin skirt

[@kathryn_what]

i would really have liked to see what pants to wear with the last boot

[@arianeminden5903]

Hello Lydia, I like very much your "Dos and Don'ts"-Videos and watch them with great interest😊

[@christinaduncan8285]

I love the Air-Touch Foam Boots! I'm 5'2" and need a boot that meets the hemline of a midi for an unbroken look (with just a flash of skin!), but the back is shorter so they feel less heavy when you sit! But - so many options from 7or9!

[@helenzwart2441]

Thanks Lydia for your amazing tips about balancing the outfit. I often go wrong here. I loved the cream boots, and loved also the way to wear these boots. Thanks!!

[@fleurcraven9862]

Hi Lydia, this was great… can we go into more depth and what boots, trainers etc to wear with different styles of jeans please 💫💫💫

Hi! New here..i can t believe the work you put into what you do! It is very fashion-educational! Thank you, thank you! Please cosider doing the same with different body type versions.

[@marisacooper5364]

[@donnamorvay8308]

Love the comfy low heeled boots. They are hard to find! I'm in my 60's and like style that is age appropriate and also location appropriate for Montana U.S. where I live. Not many dress up here. Most is casual mountain sportswear and ski wear here.

[@donnamc81]

Love the metallic skirt though where is it from? ❤

[@elizabethrodriguez7363]

Great video! where can I find long skirts like that! Thank you...

[@lavernnestory4963]

I like the white pointy toe boots very sleek I love winter white. Question: Would you wear white wide leg dress pants with white pointy toe boots?

[@keltay188]

Im so surprised the second all white outfit wasn't a don't. I think, because the top is baggy and the skirt is as well, the outfit looks frumpy to me. And because the top was a different shade than the bottom, the color difference made the line between the two pieces noticeable, and your torso seemed to me, disproportionate. Maybe it's just me though. PS. I know the skinny jean/tall black boots outfit isn't modern, but you look so cute in it!

[@theautisticacademic5927]

The skinny jeans and tall black boots outfit was incredible! Especially with her hair!

[@caroera-rea9138]

Hey Lydia,, big fan here, I am just having a bit of a hard time with the high boots,, I think the way you say is better goes a bit like a German WW2 officer suit. I do like the jeans, high boots, and blazer though

The white boot looks better when the white skirt is shorter and shows a little bit of calf, Lyds.
