How I Put My Outfits Together

[@SophiaKonior]

I live in rural US where people don’t understand/appreciate what cashmere is and they’ve never seen anyone but Sherlock wearing a trench coat on TV -but do I still go about dressing like London girl Emma Hill in head to toe secondhandbutgrand from Vestiaire? Yes, yes I do 😌 (thank you Emma for helping us dress well no matter where we’re from 😅🥰)

[@nevaehmorgan4030]

@Sophia Konior, I know exactly what you are talking about. People on my job look me all up and down when I wear jeans/blazer/graphic-tee with boots. Go figure smh! Seems to me, they need to step up their fashion game instead of hating.

[@incky-pinky]

Although I live in New York, my Russian community and relatives look down at me and always telling me to buy more colors, laces, tight sweaters with glitter, and tight skirts from JCPenney to look more feminine 😅🤦‍♀️ Why can't we all just respect each other's choices? Just let me enjoy my oversized neutral cashmere turtlenecks and blazers!

[@SophiaKonior]

Thank you ❤️

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

These are great guidelines. I think rules, lists, guidelines, etc. appeal to people because they’re simple, but get us thinking about things a little differently. I choose a color, or a patterned item (if only a checked wool scarf), or occasionally an interesting belt or item of jewelry, etc., as my inspiration item for the outfit, then build the rest outfit with quiet, solid-color basics from my color palette. This works pretty well for me, and ensures that there is only one main focal point or statement feature in my look. It’s like decorating a room, its much easier to choose the rug pattern or artwork first, any complimentary paint color (or t-shirt) is a lot easier to add then working from the more quiet elements to the more interesting ones.

[@rachaeljones5767]

Having less clothes i find it's easier to put things together (had a major clear out during lock down) . Like you Emma i love love plain basics but then a bit of stripe gets in there to break it up . My style has been pretty much the same for a few years , although now i cannot wear heels anymore i am more into comfort footwear and trying to find a smart boot but is also comfortable is my must this autumn x

[@gearhartful]

I think of Emma’s style as casual luxury. She makes a basic t look classy and comfortable. Brought a new love for what I already have in my closet. Like my converse, basic but the style is luxurious in its simplicity. The style is practical, most of her purchases will still be cool in 20 years.

[@zenaperera1492]

Yes pinterest!! Love your colour palette Emma! I also love a pop of colour here and there, but neutrals and black are so timeless and classy!

[@ellieroberts3291]

Viewing the inside of your wardrobe is so visually pleasing to me! My style and colour palette reflect yours, which is why I am here - for more inspo! I am about twice your age, but still like to look and feel current. I hope you cope ok with our new lockdown x

[@lindawentzel9261]

Thank you Emma for another entertaining video. What struck me about the whole “Don’t wear the same outfit twice” mindset is this. If I have a plethora of grey jumpers ( using your word of the moment!)and jeans and black trousers and camel outerwear... even though i am wearing a DIFFERENT grey jumper...say a charcoal turtleneck rather than the dark grey roll neck and my jeans are different and heck, I’m wearing loafers instead of boots... most people will think I look the same! So my philosophy is buy less, buy better and smarter and wear it more!

[@skylilly1]

I like your look, it's chic and tasteful. I'm always like "oh, I forgot I had that." I need to organize. You're a good inspiration.

[@americafirst9144]

On my phone, I keep a list of all my pieces of clothing by category. It helps me plan outfits, which I also plan on my phone.

[@prayonkreutz2398]

I recently discovered Heavy duty No shoulder bump flocked hangers. I've been adding them to my Amazon order every month (50 at a time). Yesterday, I counted my Sweaters & Cardigans to see how many I needed...150! How in the hell did I accumulate 150 Sweaters? Will I ever wear all 150? Do I want to get rid of any... No! LOL I'm 53 & My Sweater Collection is a time Capsule of my life! I'm just hoping I never have to move again - Or... Down Size... Horror!😜! LOL I also use the same "tactics" for putting my outfits together! 😘

[@debbiegibson3604]

You are so smart to keep all of your sweaters, if you have the space! I got rid of a great cardigan and three sweater vests because of Marie Kondo, and now they're back in style. I will never get rid of anything until I move!

[@staceytrewart4544]

Only almost thirty years older than you but yes!! Deffo getting my core colours now...... it’s taken a while but your advice and style are just perfect, incredibly chic and a great influence ❤️

[@LifeWithElyse]

I completely agree with all of your points. I used to buy clothing based on how pretty it look on the hanger at store paid no attention to the color, but now that I have a color palette that I stick to, it has made life so much easier! Even when looking for what I need, I know exactly what colors so it makes it so much time efficient to narrow everything down to my color palette, and forget about getting dress in the morning! So so much easier because everything goes well with everything color wise! Great video! 💕

[@shireenriazikermani1894]

Thanks, Emma! Can you please do a review of real winter wear? Like what you can actually wear in the snow lol. Basics and accessories. I’ve loved your recent reviews of winter coats and rainwear. I’m 5’2” though and live in Brooklyn, NY where I have to walk a lot (no driving) or grab the subway so while I can’t always wear what you do it is always good to have a baseline and brand recommendations. Thank you!

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

You've influenced me a lot in how I view my wardrobe. It's got more colours in than yours, but I still ensure I don't put too many colours together and casual with tailoring is something I do much more often. I find I'm wearing many more of my things.

[@janeuk8283]

Thanks Emma, you've given me a new focus over the past few weeks, which has taken my mind off the world at large and given me lots of laughs and great outfit ideas x

One thing that has been helping me in planning is laying out my outfit the evening prior. Saves me a lot of time in the morning but also makes me think more instead of just throwing something on

[@KristaHarrisSB]

Very useful as always. I can so relate to your approach toward style. The one thing I will add is that I don’t mind having four colors in an outfit, if they are neutral, i.e., black, beige, white and gray or navy, brown, beige, white. I think this works especially well in the fall when you have more layers to work with.

[@deborahferrell5651]

Being “quite a bit older” than your self it’s nice my mind set is the same as someone “quite a bit younger” than myself....thank you, your tips/thoughts are very helpful in my humble opinion 🤗

I love your style. I also wear a lot of black. It looks elegant.

[@lfavre7]

Thanks Emma for this video. YOU are my inspiration. I’m also in my mid-thirties and I have needed the same changes as you this past years: more comfort, better quality, less colors and less trouble getting ready! I keep track of my outfits with an App called “Stylebook” (there’s also some interesting stats like price, CPW, most/less used items, etc). ❤️

[@carmengrauwels]

Damn is that still a cliché?! You wouldn't say that (🙄🙄🙄 some influencers really making a game out of that) but hè so be it. If i wear an outfit tomorrow and i feel so good in it (makes me happy, makes me smile,...) I wear it 3 or 4 days in a row! Yep you heard me good 😅🌻

[@esikazemese]

Omg, this reminded me, how I cringed this weekend in Zara, when a teenage girl's parents were humiliating her for choosing black clothing (very loudly in the middle of the store), and sent her "look for something red". I wanted to go slap them. Let that fucking kid just be in whatever she is comfortable, being a teenager is hard enough.

Excellent tips. I totally agree about comfort and evolving style as we age. I'm in my mid 40s and my style certainly has changed and comfort is my number one priority. I 😍 your fashion sense, but unfortunately for my 5'3 hour glass frame the oversized trend makes me look very dumpy. So I can only wear slightly relaxed styles. And I love sweaters and cardigans so I focus more on these than blazers.

Over the last 10 years, every time I purchase an Item for my wardrobe I have pinned it to my Pinterest page called "My Style". It is a great way to keep track of your spending and to mix and match items together. Once a year, I go back through the page and delete things that I don't wear anymore, that I've given to charity shops. I use this concept for house items as well. Pinterest is Brilliant!

I found this really helpful, I’ve often wondered if you had a system so to speak when putting your outfits together, I know you’ve touched on inspiration and Pinterest before, and the rule of 3 but the other points in this video were really useful. I feel you’ve had a big influence on how I curate my wardrobe and use and invest in pieces that I know will fit in with my style, which as you point out is ever evolving. Previously I had lots of items that I never wore as they didn’t really work with the rest of my clothes and so I would really struggle putting things together when getting dressed. So thank you very much for that. ☺️ Side note your hair looks fabulous here! 💁🏼‍♀️

[@carolannaitken5812]

From my late 20;s onwards, I've approached my wardrobe in much the same way which is why I really relate to your vlogs and enjoy them so much. Most of my wardrove consists of navy and black in pants, cardigans and blazers and if I want to incorporate colour I might wear a bright blue t-shirts with a blazer or cardigan to give my face some colour. As a Canadian I am so looking forward to visiting London again and I admit some of my time will be spent in the stores you've mentioned on your vlogs.
