Fashion Trends To Love Now | How To Style

[@richardrosebealprestonjohn3144]

I wore prairie dresses in 1973. Sneakers and scarfs will live forever. I have always worn vests as they are most comfortable for easy movement! Florals are always summery and soft and feminine.

[@iggs10]

I used to love wearing a scarf wrapped around my pony tail in the early 90's. I love that scarves are back.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I might start doing that again too - it's such a fun way to add colour to an outfit :)

[@LibMorgan]

Me, too! I'll be wearing a low pony now instead of the high ones I pulled off in HS and college, but I pulled my old scarves out of hiding - mostly from GAP and Limited in the 90's, and I bought two new ones.

[@teresacarle294]

🌷 Looks like I'm in good company☺! Also have a clear zippered pouch of colorful scarves from the Limited. Personally, I always preferred more of a petite pop of pattern. 👜 Used to tie 'em around my neck or purse handle. I can rock a 🎀 bow clip or classic hairband, but I look ridiculous in almost any version of a headscarf🤣. ↪Used to mix & match 'em w/these faux boucle knit suit sets from that same store. Owned a couple of cropped Chanel style jackets, and also the single breasted boxy blazer. They came w/both short & long pencil skirts and trouser options. They also had longer wrap style tops with short cap sleeves that worked w/the set. Bought them in every color they sold. Even a couple of skirts in plaid & gingham options. It was zero thinking color coordination. 🌸The solid black, navy, pink & green tops survived the years. Still have several of the shorter skirts, but the wide elastic is long gone. 🤔 Figured I might be able to use them as a pattern one day✂️. 💚 Bridget from Cali ☘ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@polapoliczkiewicz7590]

I love to follow the style from the series "Little House on the Prairie" from 1974. It means summer look to me🌻 The simplicity also.

[@trishac9516]

I am a very "young" 75 and I love the look of sneakers with midi skirts, cropped trousers, etc. I never really liked wearing them with jeans, unless they are the white leather ones. Leonie, do you feel that all the white leather ones are still in style? And can they be worn when the weather gets cooler? Where I live, it's actually too hot in the summer to wear anything but sandals!

[@katjamiranda7138]

Thrifting is so cool!

[@meganruchwatercolors7186]

Love trainers and dresses! And ankle frye motorcycle boots, desert boots, chelsea boots and combat boots!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Nice!

[@karolmolpus9536]

Love prairie styling...mid '70's....as a hippie, they were fun to wear!

[@trishac9516]

I made my two daughters Holly Hobbie prairie dresses in 1976 when they were 4 and 9 yrs. old! They were all the rage in the U.S. and the dresses were very "prairie" inspired.

[@kelleyking]

Hah. We were the envy of fourth grade. I think they still sell that pattern.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Wow 😮 I had a Holly Hobbie ring and it was the best thing ever!

[@bubblestheterrible]

Im around your daughters’ age and my entire bedroom as a child was wall to wall holly hobbie, like Laura ingalls wilder threw up in it 😹

[@ufosrus]

Love scarves. If I am not wearing it them around my neck, I tie them to my purse especially to add a print to a neutral outfit or-like Leonie would say- add a "pop" of color. I have some summer bold, print pants that I absolutely love. But prairie dresses? Never liked or wore them.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes I would definitely say that LOL :)

[@pazarvizu4057]

I love the praire dress look it looks so lovely vintage especially for church which I recently wore to mass. I like the big flower prints not the tiny small prints which makes the prairie look not leveled up!! Great Video Leonie! Take Care!

[@deniseoates7147]

I don't know how I missed this video because it right up my alley on thrifting recycled fashion trends. I grow up in GA, so I am not sure if it was just me but I have pictures of myself as a teen wearing floral midi skirts and dresses. That would put the look into the mid to late 70s. Yeah got to grab and add a scarf to accessorize my looks. Yeap you know I am all into thrifting on the men rack and if the vest the right price and it fit over my chest, it going into the cart. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.

[@shelleykolln7933]

Hi Leonie, love this video. Yes everything old comes back again. I can remember wearing my first prerie dress in 1971. My mom and I got it at our local Jamesway, out of business of course. It had puff sleeves, square neck and tiered ruffles. I wore it with my sneakers of course. I thought I was the cats meow. Lol. Thanks for your videos. Shelley

[@Thestyleinsider.]

The cat’s meow 😻 that’s cute ☺️

[@louisedolloff836]

Prairie style is also known as cottage core. I love it. I wore it in the late seventies when Gunne Sax/ Jessica McClintock was so popular. I love the silk scarves trend also, I thrifted a number of expensive silk scarves 10+ years ago and have been hanging on to them. Time to bring them out, yay 😁😊

[@evonbitton5736]

Thanks again. Looking forward to the next one. 💕

[@Thestyleinsider.]

More to come tomorrow Evon :)

[@justinebarton2931]

I like the look of the prairie dresses but I think they work for somebody younger than me. I'm 54 and if I try one on I feel they make me look about 84! I love the dresses with trainers look. It looks so much more modern. It's easy to veer into frumpy territory with the wrong shoes or sandals otherwise! Love the vests - in the UK we call them waistcoats if they are tailored. The knitted ones are 'sweater vests'.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Ahh we’re the same age Justine and I do know what you mean about these dresses making you look or at least feel older.

[@ginamihailidis4444]

The best trend, prairie dresses and trainers, both comfy and sooo cool.No one should give a thumbs down, if they don;t like they should just leave...lets be kind to one another.🥰

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thx Gina - kindness is key 😊

[@janerothrock7416]

Yes I like the old world floral dresses at least the examples you showed here. (I'm still into the color red), Some retro style sneakers are ok. The prairie style to too bold for me although I like puffed sleeves. I have few nice silky scarfs I keep wanting to wear but I guess I'm too lazy to try them with different outfits I've put together. Thanks to your update I'll try them now.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I love silk scarves, have a big collection (no designer ones) and wear them a lot, but not in the peak of summer as much.

They title automatically made me click in. I have great scarf and mine are thrifted, I never remember to use them! Vest not my thing, but I do like old fashioned flowers 🌸 Just thrifted a retro print pencil skirt, love it. Retro sneakers , maybe converse, that’s about it. Prefer a simple trainer instead. Love love love prairie style dresses and love them with simple trainers I’m in the middle of a very hot humid summer. Come to Florida I let you style my wardrobe 💕🌸

Hi Leonie, I think Prairie Styling is also called Cottage Core.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thx Lynn ☺️

[@nitzeart]

Prairie dresses are cottagecore aesthetic in lingo haha it's a whole phenomenon since 2020 but coming and going since probably mid 16th century.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Oh I haven't heard the word cottagecore before - interesting!

[@hris9214]

The cottagecore aesthetic was really popular in 2019-2020 but was made super trendy when Bridgerton aired on netflix end of last year & when Taylor Swift brought the trend in her latest 2 albums :)

[@bunnypavlova4692]

Leonie, I absolutely love all these trends! I have a gorge burgundy vest with an asymmetrical front zipper, tried it on by itself as a top and it looked great, totally different, like a brand new piece. Love, love, love.🌹

[@Thestyleinsider.]

That’s fabulous - yay 😁

[@mikki3961]

Yes to the men's section, but don't forget the boys/young mens section too! I get sweats, vests, blazers, belts, hats and ties there!

Howdy-ho Leoni!🙋‍♀️ Over the last year or so I've noticed a lot of the trends are going back to my teen years. 😄 I graduated high school in 1983. I'm not a fan of the prairie style on me; however, I thinks it's cute.🙂 The silk scarf, 70's bold color and floral prints are cool.🙂 Looking forward to more good stuff you have to share with us. 🙂Enjoy your winter...summer's just around the corner...okay, a few blocks away.🙂

Modern Laura Ashley dresses! When I was a small girl, that was so popular with the girls I looked up to in the early 80s!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Oh yes I remember the days of Laura Ashley - it used to be HUGE!

[@iamtvblake]

I like your trendy x thrift video mashups. I rarely buy anything new so I'm so happy to see thrifting highlighted. Thanks for great content. I have to remember that your "trainers" are my "sneakers" or "tennis shoes". 😘😁🥰🤣

The prairie dresses are also called milkmaid dresses. I like them but don’t really have one. I think they are great for going to countries or nature places for get away.

I love Pucci prints.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Oh I'm not quite there yet but I'd like to love them :)

[@MsKim1963]

I am 5'4" so the prairie style dresses, which I distinctly remember from the early 80's, looks like a dowdy cotton nightgown on me. I need to accentuate the positive and that is a smaller waistline for me. I will leave that look to a taller, younger set. Also, the large vintage florals are not to scale on my frame either. We should all focus on the positive aspects and follow the trends that highlight those!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Totally agree 😊

[@Ivymoon]

I love wearing vest, like Annie Hall style, a very retro gounds, that you can grab in a thift store😎, as well as leather jackets, as a 80's late 90's Rock bands😎, nos were talking

[@daarbijdiemolen]

I love the prairie style dresses, but personally i always wear a belt to them to accentuate the waist 😊

[@elisabethm9655]

Being in the US, I have to agree these are definitely on trend right now…but I’m curious to know what’s on trend right now in the great ‘down under’ - after all, it’s already winter there, so perhaps you can be the fashion bellwethers and let us have a peek into the cool looks to come when our own temps cool down! ( and as horribly hot as it’s been, sweaters and coats seem like a far away dream )

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Funny you mention that as I was thinking about creating some videos similar to what KarenBritChick in her What People Are Wearing In NY series except I'd feature Auckland. Not sure if anyone would find that interesting though as Auckland is a far cry from NY!!!

[@elisabethm9655]

@@Thestyleinsider. I’d find it very interesting! New Zealand is a unique culture, not quite Euro-centric, Pan- Pacific Islander, yet both…like I said, unique and English speaking, so accessible to me.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Ooh that’s great to hear - I will create one and see how it is received 👍🏼

[@banditasydemas6120]

Love praire dresses!! We r too beginning winter here bur Im gonna find the way to incorporate puffy sleeves!! I have seen pic of my mum wearing those in the 80s and look so cool😊

[@ufosrus]

I thrifted a lot during my college years but I've been slow getting back to it. I think I donate more to thrift stores than I buy! But I do like vintage garment stores.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I'm the same Jacqueline and I love the vintage stores too :)

[@SoNick25]

I have some retro sneakers...never stopped wearing them! ha ha. Only on walks and runs..never as a fashion statement. My converse are the opposite...only for fashion. I have a great silk scarf collection, all but one, thrifted. It is a bit hot here for a scarf around the neck, but on a bag or in your hair. I must get them out. Thanks for the reminder!!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yay 😀

[@becharb]

always great thank you

[@Thestyleinsider.]

So nice of you Becky - thanks :)

[@annabelle7123]

It's too warm and rainy where I live now, so no silk scarf unless it's a top or bandana! I like your aesthetic with colours, Leone :) Florals yes, since this spring! I like those real flowers look from H&M

Another great video- 59 and definitely in the pairing back outfits with trainers I tend to stick to white but different styles from chunky to classic

Prints are really in right now and what was old is new again. Pieces I wore in the 70s I see absolutely everywhere. I’m not repeating this one.😖 Edit: The cashmere sweater on your IG reel was gorgeous!

Awesome video, as always! I love the scarves - thanks for a reminder! Vests - maybe;). Prairie dresses and bold flower dresses - I love the look but, being 5’3”, I have to exercise caution with those:).

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Fair enough Bel :)

[@agnesdp1855]

Prairie dresses: not for me! You're right, in the 80s there was the whole Laura Ashley trend, with plenty of flowery, prairie-style dresses. I can't believe they're back, but hey, maybe young women love them. Don't be too jealous for our summer, in my corner of France, it has not really started yet. I might unearth my old silk scarves at some point, I have a beauty from Hermes that I've hardly worn in 30 years, so it definitely qualifies as vintage ;)

[@giedrebey5444]

I love headscarves. Vests are ok, retro print sounds interesting. Prairie dress yes its ok .love wearing with sneakers all kind of dresses and skirts 😜 have a blessed day 🙏💕

[@teresacarle294]

💐 Leonie: Fab & fun fashion trend update! 🎉Thrilled w/return of menswear & suit style vests, esp. the longer ones! 💞 Love your easy breezy boyfriend style w/sneakers. Definitely dig your oversize, casual, comfy model vibe. Can be cute when mixed w/flouncy & floral dresses, but that part of the equation is NOT for me. 🌼The poufy, old-timey "little house on the range" prairie style dresses w/petite flower prints is more of a 1970s comeback. From the bold flower power of 60s, the hippie culture morphed in a more natural & muted direction. This boho look is ultra girlish, but it makes me feel stupid. I generally avoid all floral patterns, frilly yokes, puffed sleeves, ruffles & other fussy details. In casual ☀️sunny SoCalifornia, comfort is name of the game year round〰️esp. when you take 🚍public🚉 transport where stand around, walk🚶‍♀️, & might need to chase🏃‍♀️ a connection. Prefer plainer, more simple slim looking 🎾tennis or deck style shoes⛵ to match outfit (w/naked socks) to go out & about. 🤗 Although I can never resist some💎sparkle embellishments. 💖 Love mixing edgy, combat or construction style ankle boots with some of my straighter or a-line maxi skirts. 🤠 Cowboy booties with a flirty fit & flare dress or skirt for country 🎶concerts or dancing. 😉 Otherwise, prefer wearing a slimline classic canvas or leather slip-on sneaker (like Converse or Vans). Like them paired w/a simple t-shirt dress, short pencil skirt, shorts, or cropped pants. Have them in a variety of solid colors to match my clothes (white, black, navy, gray, red & pink). 👟 Keep my more colorful chunky runners strictly for 🌱gardening or walking trails ⛰. Although I sometimes may pair a more minimal white leather chunky trainer w/a more sober navy trouser suit or 🏵palazzo pant when feeling playful. 🤫 Haven't worn jeans👖 for over a decade...too hot🌡. Big bold color, patterns & bulkiness of retro chunky dad trainers are generally too much for me😖. Prefer more minimalist kicks. 💚 Bridget from Cali ☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

Prairie styling is referred to as cottage boho at the boutiques locally.

[@catherinegardner8407]

I enjoyed your video. I think the most attractive fashion show I ever saw with "prairie" styling was by Ralph Lauren in 2015. Those outfits were amazing and beautiful! I loved it all! With the prairie styling, I prefer a chunky heeled sandal like the Fly London styles. Tennis shoes (trainers) are very unattractive.

I think the prairie look is called cottage core. 🤷‍♀️ I wore those in the 80s. I think the look is a bit sister wife.

[@alisonsneed3707]

Yup, too sophisticated for these Little House on the Prairie schmattas. They look like 1970’s night gowns.

[@teresacarle294]

😕Felt absolutely insipid in those reinspired 1800s Laura Ingalls Wilder midwestern frontier prairie styles even as a young girl (who developed too early) in the 70s. 🌼 I'm all for romance & femininity, but never could do it in the form of calico, floral prints, ruffled bibs, fussy lace, bows, puffed statement sleeves, or layers of flouncy ruffles🤮. 🤠 There was a season in the 90s where I could rock some girly-girl country boho fashions, but that ship has sailed. Feel foolish in them now. 💋 Although I do own three solid fit & flare tea length tiered skirts (in black, light brown & olive green). They occasionally see some action. I tend to style them w/a 50s retro vibe 💄. The pendulum for me has mostly swung back to being more casual sporty, classic chic, & preppy (the hipsters call the latter acadamia or librarian chic). Have the heart of 🌸flower child, but always shared more of a style sensibilty with the 60s/70s characters that Mary Tyler Moore portrayed. 💚 Bridget from Cali ☘ (using my pal's YT acct)

Love scarves and am delighted to see them make a comeback. Prairie or cottage styling is not for me. I am too short and busty and just look like a dowdy fishwife.

In answer to your question, Prairie dresses are also called Cottage Core in the U.S. 🇺🇸 Always enjoy your vids! 💕

[@teresacarle294]

@@Thestyleinsider. Beatniks, hippies, punks, goths, grunge as you likely know were all real life counter-culture, and anti-establishment movements. "Aesthethics" encompass fashion, decor, entertainment & lifestyle. Social Media influenced the rise in their popularity. Experts attribute the C19 pandemic lockdown to have influenced their growth. 🔸️Cottagecore is one of them. It's the "new" country, and comes with an ultra girly-girl chic vibe. 🔸️Normcore. A little tomboy, a little throwback, & a bit of classic. Think squared toe loafer. 🔸️Academia (light & dark versions depending upon preferred color palette). Modern prep school, twin sets, tweeds, pearls & oxfords. Think popularity of Harry Potter reinspired it, but there are even more spin-offs for nerds that like those movies. There's an "aesthetic wiki" that helps define the hundreds out there. It's big in the cosplay, Disneybounding, and historybounding realm too. These ppl take a lot of inspo from trends, film, literature & history to create these unique "style worlds" that help identify their tastes, interests & values. It's very layered & multi-dimensional in nature. 💚Bridget from Cali ☘ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@teresacarle294]

💘Always loved a 70s style tunic or duster vest. Or, even an unbuttoned classic menswear vest. While I am intrigued by corset vests, being constricted in anything closely fitted does not hold appeal😔. 😉 The look of a sleeveless suit vest really speaks to me.✂️ Thinking about doing some DIY upcycling w/blazers I rarely wear... Generally, find it too hot🌡to wear long sleeves let alone a jacket, but I like another layering piece, esp. if it can add a dash of pattern or texture to my otherwise monochromatic look. If I don't do a vest, I will sometimes use an unbuttoned blouse as a light topper. 💚 Bridget from Cali ☘ (using my pal's YT acct)

I Agee with the previous watcher’s comments about large prints. A women who is 5’5” or less and weighs less than 145 lbs. cannot successfully wear a large print. The print ends up wearing her. In other words, when she walks into a room, the first thing one notices is the print, not the woman. What should be noticed is the women with the secondary thought, nice outfit. I know, I am 5 feet 4 1/2 inches. I used to be quite obese and could wear large prints successfully. Now I weigh 135 lbs and cannot.

That makes sense to me Arlene :)

Prairie dresses are cute and comfortable. However, they look a bit costumey on me.

Does NZ use the word ‘waistcoat’?

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes we tend to use vest and waistcoat - I think!

Cottagecore is so not for me; I prefer sleek and modern styles. I do have a pile of silk scarves I've been ignoring for years, so maybe I should have a look at those again.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes revisit those scarves 👍🏼

Being granny-age, I’ll pass on the granny-prints.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

LOL maybe I should pass on them too :)

Sorry Leonie, my interior designer wears a scarf on her handbag and it always makes me think - try hard. Totally unconvincing.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Oh you think it makes her look like a try hard? Like too much?
