Finally a fall fashion video that isn’t all about buying a bunch of new things but instead talks about using what you have in your closet. I will be subscribing.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

That's great to hear Joelle - pleased you enjoyed this one :)

Yeah she always helps us use our heads and sense of style long before our money. I've been following for years she is so good at what she does ❤️and is so fun to follow 💕

[@mikki3961]

Great tips, here is mine. Take a selfie in the outfits you love, refer for inspo when you don't know what to wear. So basically make your own fashion catalog. Refer to your wardrobe selfies when you are frustrated or uninspired.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thanks for sharing Michele! That's something I definitely do too - or I head back to my Instagram page for ideas on previous outfits!!

[@lucybraun8969]

Absolutely, plan your outfits. Even try them on. Sometimes, I have to edit an outfit several times before I get it just right. I have a place for hanging the potential outfit. Sometimes it has to hang there for quite a while while I ponder it and run through what I have in my closet that might go better with it, or what I may need to purchase to elevate it. It just depends how important the event is. Outerwear? Every fall, I travel to a larger shopping mecca to get elevated outerwear, because I live in a smaller city where the shopping is somewhat limited.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Great advice Lucy and I love how much effort you put into your outfits :)

[@lucybraun8969]

@@Thestyleinsider. I'm really enjoying your channel. Thank you for all the tips!

[@Miss_Annlaug]

Such a good idea 💕❤️ I love the idea of being more fashionable but never take the time to work on it 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️taking photos is perfect 💕💕💕

[@lucybraun8969]

@@Miss_Annlaug The bigger your wardrobe, the more useful photos are, but I do so much editing with the addition of new trending pieces that the photos of old combos become dated. My best help comes from having my closet organized by color so I can more readily select what I have that may go with what I'm putting together. Watching the blogs also is a huge help in pairing things together in new ways. Right now, I'm all about ruffles and ruching paired with leather and denim.

[@fernandezyajaira]

I agree, I love shopping at the mens section. I find they have better quality sometimes and better prices.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Sad but true!

[@kjames245]

@ Yajaira Fernandez I totally agree, I've found almost all my cashmere sweaters in the men's section at a much better discount than the womens🤩

[@gaytimpany7330]

I use Pinterest to get ideas how to wear an item and try new clothing combinations. Play in your wardrobe. Last year during lockdown I researched essential wardrobe basics to see what was missing. Discovered why there was some clothing orphans. Bought basics to marry clothing items into new outfits. Sometimes white t shirts are overlooked and missing in wardrobe. I also bought navy, black and grey t shirts to create new combinations. Great for layering too.

[@georgiapeach310]

Very good tips. My closet is small so when I try on potential outfits I use my phone to snap pics. I mix textures, colors and styles.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Great tip! I have a very small closet too so you do need to be inventive right?

[@annabelle7123]

Just the fact that you live in New Zealand and make all these videos for Nothern hemisphere us, RESPECT!! Thanks for making these for fall/winter.

[@janicevin4207]

I agree with updating your underwear especially what is on your feet. One of my few planned purchases for this winter are merino wool or merino/cashmere blend socks so I can wear my boots which are not fur lined this winter. Also knee high and panty hose with prints, this is a trend this season but it has been a fashion item in France for years: I always thought that a flash of ankles in a sheer sock with prints was so stylish even with a very simple outfit! Note: for those who don't like wool directly on their skin: try merino wool which is fine and warm (cashmere if you can afford it) they are so soft and luxurious on the skin.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thanks for sharing your advice Janic :)

[@charlottedutra2735]

I really enjoy watching your channel!! The interaction with your mum is adorable. Your videos always seem so natural, I feel like I'm visiting with you each time. Love your style!!! The outfit your mum put together was my favorite. Probably not something I could wear, but loved it for you!! I also try forcing myself to like dark chocolate, because it's supposed to be better for you.....I've not been very successful though....lol.

[@patriciachartrand798]

I love a good hat! Very rainy in Vancouver, and easier to wear a hat and a good jacket then to navigate the downtown sidewalk with an umbrella. I am clumsy, and do not want to inadvertently injure others...great ideas in this vid.

[@gaytimpany7330]

Kia ora Leonie, bravo on your fabulous tips. I love your advice. Last weekend I bought a clothes rail from Briscoes and set it up in my spare bedroom. Trinny Woodhall suggests putting aside some time on Sundays to put together outfits for the week. I had a play, tried on different clothing combo, pulled out assessories and shoes. I looked at the weather forecast and included different layering pieces depending on the day's temperature. It was fantastic to save time and stress in the mornings. I highly recommend you try this. I am also mindful of clothing items that I don't always reach for. I am conscious of making my clothes go with at least 5 other items, suit my body shape and colouring, and are not orphan pieces. I aim for clothing to give me joy. NZ winters can be cold therefore I have a range of coats, gloves and jackets. I love scarves and berets. This winter I added more colour by buying different sweaters/jumpers for layering. Merino Wool and cashmere. Love cost per wear on investment pieces. Bought a camel Calvin Kiein trench coat heavily discounted in Hawaii. A trench coat had been on my wishlist for many years. Stylist dressing.

[@SarahKotri]

Nice tips, some of your followers might enjoy Alyssa Belltempo’s videos that show how to use what you have in your wardrobe. I’d love to see you do a similar styling challenge! I love those videos, I always learn so much by seeing an outfit actually created.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Great idea!!

[@ufosrus]

Except she's pretty conservative in her outfits. I prefer Leonie because she's more playful in her fashion outlook.

[@deniseoates7147]

Bravo! This exactly what I had been commenting on that I wanted to keep vibrant and bold colors in my styling during grey days of Fall/Winter to lift my mood and I was going to achieve this by not putting all my off season clothes in storage, leaving out some of my Spring/Summer items to wear thru layering (this is going to be a challenge). But now I see if I plan my outfits that this will be doable. I would love to find a big furry bucket hat, that would cover back of neck, my ears, and my face. lol You did such a job on putting this video together. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come. 1. Think Transeasonal 2. Experiment with color 3. Plan your outfits 4. Hats are functional and stylish 5. Shop Menswear 6. Great Outerwear good investment 7. Update underwear and socks 8. Lightweight scarves are handy 9. Play with textures and proportions 10. Opt for natural Fibers 11. Set yourself a style challenge (style and wear lost items in your closet)

[@almabackstrom5414]

Wow leoni, great ideas and suggestions. I love them all. Especially wearing color. I love color so much but was trying to be more neutral like many influencers suggest. I never feel like myself in those very neutral colors. I love pinks and purples and corals. I feel like they give such happy vibes. Also love hearing about keeping your summer items available to wear in cold weather. I am always reaching for tanks to larger under sweaters or jackets. Food timing, u am just starting the switch of my clothes for fall. Also going to try looking at mens outer wear. I thrift all my clothes and have noticed some great looking mens trench coats at the thrift store. Will investigate them for sure. You are always so helpful and sensible. I always am inspired by you. Thank you. ♥️♥️♥️

[@Thestyleinsider.]

That's great to hear Alma - thanks so much :)

[@saramaloney6082]

I’m with you! I never feel myself in neutrals especially warmer tones. I look like I’ve been sick for years! I find colour gives me energy.

[@prayonkreutz2398]

I love using silk or satin neck scarves when I wear a Turtleneck, It really helps with a barrier between those Really Itchy knits & your neck. Kinda like you would wear a long sleeve Thermal under a itchy sweater.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Ahh yes that's a great idea :) Thanks for sharing Prayon.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Me, too (silk only). I love those sweater dresses, but so many of them have acrylic in them, which makes the neckline scratchy, a scarf helps a lot.

Bold, bright colors don’t work very well with my muted coloring, but I will try the boldest colors I do have: jade green, burgundy and cobalt blue.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I'm the same but I warm up my colouring with a bit of bronzer and then I can get away with anything :)

[@denisadellinger4543]

Transitional wear is a good idea. I noticed in my favorite catalogue that there are so many colored sweaters, lots of pastels. I invested in some nice pastel boatneck tees this spring and summer. I wore them with a button up shirt underneath them. I'm wondering if I can use them in the winter like that. Even though they are cotton blend, they are still coming out with about the same colors for winter. I'm going to have to have a go at experimenting with them.

It was a funny one to mention but it really is important and often overlooked. Yay to new underwear!!!!

[@pajamamama5965]

Great video. I think that my problem is that I have pieces in my closet that I like, but when I put them on, something feels "off". I think it could just be my mood, incorrect proportions, looks like I am trying too hard, or not appropriate for the occasion and/or weather. I will put together outfits in advance and then take them apart the morning of. I feel discouraged with the process of outfit creation, even though I like my clothes, if that makes sense.

[@DestinyFerreira29]

hahaha, i just bought new socks and underwear!! love your practicality!!
