Can we appreciate how she goes straight into the video. All the information is uniformed and easy to follow. Simply perfect 👌🏻

[@sonyavs455]

Exactly. I SO appreciate that, too. So many video hosts want to take 5:00 to tell you about their day and why they’re late/early/tired/frazzled/excited.... just get to the point please. Audrey is tops at doing it the right way! 😁

[@GradKat]

Excellent tips, Audrey! I once wore a new jacket for several months thinking the flap pockets were just “cosmetic” until a friend pointed out that I just needed to snip the threads that were holding them closed. 🤭

[@judycassey9247]

I bought several times some second hand blazers and they all still had the pockets stitched. So many people do not know. I myself found out a couple of years ago when my grandma took my new blzer to remove all tags and threads peeking out and them she started cutting out the threads of the pockets. I was amazed 😅😅

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

Same here with pants pockets.

[@chamkimhangshing2982]

Dear Audrey You and your voice, both are so elegant. Listening to you speak is really so relaxing. I was wondering if you had ever gone for vocal coaching, to speak in such an elegant manner. If you have and you know the know-how, could it be possible that you made a video regarding the same? So ladylike, so refreshing and so elegant!

[@user-ii5jh2ch2i]

She used to be a singer.

[@patriciad.7309]

I think that if you watch Audrey's earlier videos you can hear quite a difference - she spoke a lot faster. I wouldn't be surprised if she had made a conscious decision to change - I agree, her voice and delivery now are wonderfully relaxing.

[@AudreyCoyne]

I would love to do a video about public speaking 🤗 I naturally speak very quickly so I’ve worked on slowing down and making sure I enunciate everything clearly. Much the same way I practice diction in English and other languages as a singer ❤️

[@chamkimhangshing2982]

Audrey Coyne 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@patriciad.7309]

@@AudreyCoyne That can't have been easy, but I do think it was worth it; it's a real feature of your channel now!

[@Androgynary]

So glad you mentioned cutting out temporary stitchings! Another thing would be to seam rip your pockets. Most of my clothes are thrifted/secondhand and it amazes me how many people donate jackets/coats with the pockets still sewn shut!

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

Sometimes, that ruins the look, though... 😕 I once cut the pockets of a dress open- and immediately, the dress started to look "slouchy". I since have left pockets alone (on blazers, anyway). 👋👋 Fellow thrift shop lover here! 😊

[@irairod5160]

Hello Z! I leave my pockets stitched (as long as it's not visible from the outside, of course) or stitch them shut myself. I'm an old woman and was taught, in school, that ladies never put their hands in their pockets or carry anything in them. The only exterior pocket I unstitch is the breast pocket on a blazer, so I can accessorize with a cute pocket square. But trouser and dress pockets? Never!

[@yjs3833]

I like your chelsea boots 😍 I agree you should buy shoes at the end of the day. I really appreciate comfortable shoes so it's really important to pick pretty AND comfy shoes.

[@arg.sherilyn]

I didn't know those necklace extenders existed, that's genius!!! Thanks for the tips❤️

[@irairod5160]

They even come with magnetic ends, so you only need to "load" your necklaces and wrap the two ends around the back of your neck. Voila! No more fumbling with small rings or threading a bar through a small opening. One popular brand of these contraptions is "NECKLET", but there are others.

[@eyalshany]

Dear Audrey ,I m new to your channel ,and wanted first of all to tell you that I really love all your videos ,as others said ,your voice is so relaxing ,and your tips are excellent . I like the fact you don't push your viewers only to purchase new items ,you are original ,elegant ,different from many others on youtube. .You are very special and I learn a lot from your movies . sending you hugs from Israel . 🙂

[@b.walker5955]

The scarf element is so Audrey Hepburn and totally Audrey Coyne. Through your content you have proven again and again, that simple addition totally makes the look. Timeless classic and thoughtful in a small compact form ~ which is the complete definition of Audrey Coyne. Thanks love!

[@SmidBeach]

I guess keeping those "X" stitches is tantamount to keeping the plastic on lampshades. Thanks for steering us in the right direction, and a beautiful video as always!

[@debbiegibson3604]

In the fifties, when I was in elementary school, we used to wear a scarf tied around our neck above a cardigan sweater buttoned up the back. I'm thinking about trying it again.

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

That would look so good.

[@cg50621Q]

I've definitely benefitted from your help on the layering necklaces, which I also saw in an older video. I had some and really wasn't making them work. Now I am, and I like them. I'm also going to experiment with one that has a vintage piece, based on that advice. Your three color rule has also been so useful. My neutrals are olive, camel and brown, which already look a little busier than the typical gray, black, white and navy. Even though those three match with teal, the color I wear most, all four together (for example teal shirt, camel jacket, olive pants and brown boots) does look like a bit too much. This is also helpful guidance for planning a capsule, especially thinking about footwear.

[@rachelgilders130]

Another great video. I am always surprised when shortening jacket sleeves how the person has obviously worn the jacket several times yet the tacks in vents and pockets have not been removed...the manufacturer should have a label explaining about this - not everyone is a dressmaker. Love the scarf tying tuition - something I need to learn! Always look forward to your videos. Thanks Audrey.

Hello Audrey, great tips, thank you! I wonder if it would be more helpful to viewers if you put the list of time stamps in the description box? Just a thought.

[@carolbohn5900]

[@dianetaylor4256]

You have captured the essence of my preferred style. I'm not quite there yet, but feeling very inspired after watching some of your videos.

[@sashagamino2268]

Audrey, you never fail to deliver good quality coontnt. These tips are invaluable. I've always known my feet tend to swell at the end of the day, after standing all day as a teacher, lecturer (and at times as a t speaker)and then making dinner, washing dishes, etc. But hearing you say tomshop for shoes later in the day, I thought, "Duh ( to myself, lol) why don't you shop for shoes after work or better yet, even later. " Even when we intuitively know something, it sometimes helps to hear someone else say it. xo, S

[@sashagamino2268]

Hi again Audrey, just wanted to add that I noticed you changed the time stamps and wondered if you'll keep the other way in the future. I thought the way you did it before was a good idea. I've always watched the whole video because I'm so afraid to miss one little tidbit. In fact several of your vids I've rewatched at least once or twice for a refresher after awhile. But I like having those time stamps there in case there was ever a time I was in a rush, but still wanted to watch you. Thx Audrey, xo

[@2Blessed]

Yes, but KZbinrs earn more money if we watch the entire video, as opposed to skipping through. Her videos are never too lengthy, so I don't mind watching the whole thing, even if it may not apply to me.

[@MJ-ti6oh]

Great post. I used to work in an office and I would see men wearing the real nice wool coats but they never clipped the threads at the pleat at the bottom back of their coat.

[@mickeljmm]

I'm confused about sleeve length. Which way is the preferred way in your 2 pictures? To show a bit of the sleeve from the shirt underneath or to have the sleeve of the blazer longer and show nothing of the shirt underneath? Which way is more timeless? Thanks!

[@mazamamina7948]

First one...

[@asparrow5505]

I've heard the jacket sleeve should end at your wristbone and the shirt sleeve about half an inch below that. Where it shows.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I love the practical tie, Audrey! And I am still not confident enough to layer necklaces, but you've inspired me to try. Great tips again! Love, Jennifer

[@AudreyCoyne]

Oh I think you would look fantastic in layered necklaces! Xx ❤️

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

Dear Jennifer @the Daily Connoisseur I got my inspiration from Zoe Wannamaker as Ariadne Oliver in Hercule Poirot movies. 😉 A bit more "do-able" for me than, say, the Grand Master of jewelry layering a.k.a. Queen Mary (grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II). 😉😁

[@2Blessed]

I have a hanging jewelry box, and I installed a row of hooks underneath, which I started using to hang my necklaces when I am in a hurry, but then I discovered they worked really well for playing with necklace combinations! I can take several different ones and hang them to see how they look together, and mix and match until I feel good about the combination - saves time from trying them all on! Then once I have a combo that looks good on the hook, I'll try it on to make sure they all work together.

[@heathervalentine8222]

I love wearing scarves and have nearly 20 different types. I like the simplicity of the ways you suggested.

[@robinluettke8732]

If you have any broaches,add one to a silk scarf , I keep pinned and slide it in. Center the" pendant" and tie behind.

[@Mira_A]

Hi Audre. Can you make a video about how to tie scarves for short neck? Xoxoxo

[@janiewilliams5803]

I understand about removing the threads needed during transit from a jacket. I have some dress pants with hip pockets with the slit opening stitched closed. I thought that stitching should be removed, as for a jacket. But after removing it, I thought the slit would have looked nicer, neater, if the stitching had been left in place. (I would not be putting anything in the locket anyway.) Guess I should hand baste them closed again. Enjoy your videos so much :)

[@irairod5160]

I just replied to someone else that I like my trouser pockets shut, so if they don't come stitched, I do it myself.

Ohh and I would like to hear your opinion about mid lenght vests. Best Regards!!

[@gayleritter1199]

Oh, my, you spoke to me. I wore a new tweed blazer to lunch with friends and forgot the "X" stitching at the back flap of my jacket. I remembered as we walked out. Lesson learned!!

[@AudreyCoyne]

Shekinah Lawrence I wish I could, but the one I used in this video actually tarnished really quickly. In the past I’ve had better luck with plated ones I bought at the craft store ❤️

[@2Blessed]

Those extenders are pretty inexpensive, and can be found at craft stores and any place they sell jewelry making parts. I have a bunch of them, and they sometimes do tarnish, but then I just replace them. I think I got some at Walmart for a couple of dollars for a pack of 5. If you search on Amazon for "necklace extender" you should also find some there.

[@lizcademy4809]

A place to get the extender, as well as chains of different lengths, and other "bits and pieces" of jewelry is Fire Mountain Gems, or any other jewelry making supply store. I'm not affiliated with FMG, but I have ordered from them.

[@irairod5160]

@@AudreyCoyne If I may, I'd like to recommend a contraption called "Necklet". It's like the necklace layering-helper you showed, but magnetic, which makes getting everything on and off a lot easier once they've been layered. I've had mine for about 5 months and it hasn't tarnished. I suggested it to others on your comments but figured you might want to try it, too, since you often talk about your love for layering pieces. Now, for things that I know will likely tarnish immediately, like very, very inexpensive jewelry findings...I spray them with matte transparent paint from a can, or "paint" them with "matte top coat" nail polish. They last for years that way! Obviously, I wouldn't do that to something that's a good piece of jewelry, but for necklace extenders, French earring hooks, and other things that are not the main focus, the transparent paint coat works well.

[@minglestein]

Audrey, is there a rule as to when to wear Draping Long Scarves versus small neck scarves? Do you ever mix scarves and necklaces?

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

Sometimes long, flowing scarves are just not practical; so there is that to consider (as much as I love long scarves). At worst, remember Isadora Duncan. 😨😢 I love the look of silk scarf paired with a pearl necklace! The scarf triangular and loosely knotted in front (color a bit on the darker side, like Audrey's perhaps) or like Audrey's third style, and a short pearl necklace peeking through from underneath. 😊 While the Queen is not necessarily known as a style icon, she rocks that look when in the countryside. Ladies in Agatha Christie movies do, too. 😉 And there are great tutorials on KZbin on variations. For some styles, you might want to use a faux pearl necklace as not to damage the "good" ones. 😊👍

[@minglestein]

@@thekingsdaughter4233 Thank you!! I sometimes wonder if it's about proportion as well. A neck scarf for cardigans and sweaters, and then larger, longer scarves for midi sweaters and coats or long wide leg pants. But then I like small neck scarf with small top with wide leg long pants too!

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

@@minglestein oh yes, proportions. 👍 I love my longer scarves with tunics, and the smaller squares or what Audrey showed with cardigan style tops, too. I have to try in front of the mirror sometimes to see what's best.

@@thekingsdaughter4233 Thank you so much. Sometimes I don't trust my own eye! It helps me to get "approval" or reassurance from someone else.

[@kareni8640]

Should we remove tags/labels from designer scarves? Would that affect value if we did?

[@gayleritter1199]

Absolutely!! It looks tacky to have that tag hanging out and unfinished.

[@beautypsycho7139]

In my opinion, you remove long labels that have material content and washing instruction but the short label with the name can stay. (All of that specifically for scarves).

[@flynnmalin]

I remove all tags and threads from EVERYTHING. Clothes, sheets, towels, etc. I sew, so it is a habit. I dislike tags on anything.

[@Lena2light]

Marieee Open your neckline (modestly) a little bit more from below by wearing a scoop neck shirt, for example, and use a thinner scarf (like a satin one). if the scarf is too thick, it will create that illusion you’re talking about. If you want to wear a thick scarf for winter, keep the scarf a little bit lower, so that the top of your neck is slightly more exposed.
