Figure out the best clothes for your wardrobe with ONE simple yet profound technique

Would anyone else love a fabric crash course from Hannah? How can we practice longevity visualization on a bunch of fabrics? How do different fabrics drape? I feel like she is the perfect person to give us this information because of her background in designing clothes and also her thoroughness and honesty. Or maybe she has a video like this?

[@sugaCat363]

I would love this! I don't know much about caring for clothes and how different fabrics stretch, drape and breathe. I feel HLP is really knowledgeable about fabric.

[@DiMagnolia]

Yes! I’m very uneducated on the subject and absolutely love how she explains things.

[@glitterberserker1029]

I would recommend Nicole Rudolph's videos on fabrics. She's a dress historian and her fabric videos are more aimed at people learning about fabric in terms of learning to sew but a more general audience would also probably get something out of them.

[@shannonsawaya]

Yes, this would be so helpful!!

[@briannareid23]

Yesssss I would absolutely love this!!! Clothes that wash in the machines okay vs not would be so helpful

[@riverAmazonNZ]

One of the things I like about thrift shoping is that it makes clear which garments and fabrics can stand up to washing and which quickly get past their prime. I refuse to dry clean and I dislike ironing, so I am only willing to acquire a garment that looks good without fuss, so that I end up with a fuss-free wardrobe.

[@DiMagnolia]

Me too! I had too many bad experiences with garments completely changing after one wash, second hand is a much safer bet.

[@solkim2051]

me too!!! I HATE dry cleaning and know that I'll never want to spend money on it... so can't buy clothes that require dry cleaning. I bought a beautiful dress a few years back that required dry cleaning (there were reports of it falling apart in normal wash online). I sold it, no regrets.

[@trainerbeckyreid]

Exactly what i was thinking watching this. I thrift so I don’t have to imagine what it will look like after a few washes. Quality holds up and shows in the thrift store.

[@dagnolia6004]

5 years ago i found a beanie in a parking lot. i picked it up and hung it on a sign. the next day it was still there. i brought it home and "sterilized' it. it is a deep forest green that makes me so very happy. i have yet to see online or in store anything like it. i am glad i got over my "ick' and rescued my hat.

[@teresacarle294]

😊Happy for your courage & that it worked out. The beret was meant for you. Very kind of you to give the owner a chance to reclaim it. May it bring you joy. That's the attitude I decided to take when a beloved 🧧Chinese parasol dropped out of my bag at a 🎼music festival that was never turned in. Chose not to let that steal my joy or ruin the experience for others by having an emotional meltdown. Instead I released it to God's keeping, & decided to be thankful that at least it hadn't been tossed🗑. That it found a new person to care for it. 😉I've picked up dropped hairbands & scrunchies that I later sterilized & used. That actually grossed out😱 finicky friends who regularly thrift for goodness sakes. 🤢Although I get serious ick over used 👡shoes👠. Foot fungus is nothing to joke about🤨. Know someone that still struggles w/one years later😝 after showering🚿 in a hotel w/o flip-flops🩴. Will only accept used shoes from someone I know very well. Also as a precaution, I stick with footwear that I can wear with socks🧦 too. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@Mon-Blue-Cat]

This video was interesting for me in a way you would not expect. So much in fact, that I decided to comment for the first time - i've been a subscriber for years! The theory of "longevity visualisation" was perfectly articulated! But what is surprising for me is that some Americans need coaching with this. I live in Eastern Europe (ex-comunist country). And all of the people my generation and older know this. They practice it every time they think about buying something. Anything! Even 2$ socks. I think its because we come from a scarcity mindset. We were not poor, but we didnt have acces to an abundance of things growing up. No heaps of stores, not a ton of options, not a ton of space in our homes and closets. Different culture, smaller homes, closets, different mindset. But how different!? I follow American content creators every day on all platforms. And I do realise that you were raised differently. That your capitalism is inherently different, your society, the way you shop and think about clothes and things in general. But still this video of yours today was sooo surprising. The way you actually revealed the ideas and the practice of "thinking ahead in time before you buy". It was like a big "life hack" you found and shared. And I was like "They usually dont do this? Naturally? Instinctively almost? Do they naturally just buy things without thinking past the first wear of the item?" And I was floored. I think I knew in a way. And yet it still surprised me.

[@emmelinesprig489]

Yeah, I am an american who was raised on a low income and around a lot of people on a low income. Overconsumption is ingrained and constantly reenforced in the culture (artificially of course, by the corporations who control US society). Culture determines the “default” mindsets and behaviors, in every culture.

[@DrJennyPhD]

If I’m trying to determine if something is timeless or if it’s trendy, I love the question “would I have bought this 5 years ago?” If the answer is no, I probably won’t still like it 5 years from now. Love these type of videos Hannah! I carry your thought process with me when I’m shopping and it’s really helped me make better and more intentional choices.

[@nittygritty4049]

I kinda see your point but I think this one can be tricky sometimes, especially if your style/aesthetic tends to change a lot throughout the years. Speaking from personal experience, I definitely wouldn't trust my 5-years-past-self fashion-wise, heck, I didn't even know what my body looked like or what my proportions were back then let alone knowing how to tell a timeless piece from a disposable piece of cloth.

[@Sandakan00]

Maybe would this look outdated 5 6years ago?

[@gunanebare7173]

That’s genius, so good. Thank you❤

[@mandisashozi8639]

The unexpected makeup look in the beginning? Love the surprise! It's like "Now that we are on the same page of how I did my makeup, let's carry on" such an authentic sponsorship

[@Tabeasknitting]

Loved how you articulated that idea! Another question I like (which is originally from Allison Bernstein) is “Would I still wear this if nobody else does?” which can help to see past the trends.

[@carefulshopper4239]

My husband advocates for “cost per wear” rather than cost per se. This approach has helped me think about the care a garment will require (and my willingness to be bothered with it all) as well as how comfortable it is on, my ease and confidence wearing it, and of course how it looks and will look in the future. I also try to assess whether I have shoes, whether the outfit has pockets, or if I’ll need a purse.

[@solkim2051]

ooo this is a great tip. I need to implement this.

[@soniashapiro4827]

When I've made a good choice the garment feels like I've owned it for a long time already, even before I've worn it once. Not as exciting as something I've chosen for my fantasy self but satisfying in a different, calmer, way.

[@Opaleye36]

I am in AWE, literally SPEECHLESS, oh my god you look STUNNING.

[@solkim2051]

the hair suits her so well!!!

[@jennamanzano]

THIS. I’ve been doing this for years and the method holds up for sure! Clothing, yes, but especially shoes and bags that get worn regularly and beat up. I also think this is super important with furniture-even or especially when at ikea. Imagine the table with 10 years of indentations from cat scratches or kid toys. If it’s going to dent, do you like how it’ll look when it’s beat up? This can totally apply to thrifting too It doesn’t have to be about buying expensive stuff, but about spotting planned obsolescence before purchasing.

[@mumusimone6862]

Oh my God ! This video allowed me to clean up my wish list ! More than half of what I wanted to buy for this fall/winter has disappeared! THANK YOU SO MUCH ! Excuse my English, I'm French !!

[@coachmindy]

one of your fashion videos helped me realize that I'm always short on POLISHED CASUAL options in my closet. it's like I have a mental block and never pull the trigger to buy that category. Then, casual occasions come up and I realize I only have fitness/ athleisure type casual... or only have options for the wrong season. Thanks so much for helping me realize this one gap that has been missing in my life.

[@sarahbeekman3814]

What a helpful exercise! Something that also helps me when I’m shopping online is asking myself “what will this look like on ME?”. I often start by assuming that I will look like the model, but this certainly will not be the case. Visualizing myself in the garment helps show me the reality of whether or not it’s going to be flattering on me and if it’s the sort of thing that suits my frame. I’m not 6 feet tall and 120 lbs and most of us aren’t.

[@brokenmolar]

I do this too! I say to myself “that pair of jeans does not come with that butt.” Something to consider. Also haircut inspiration photos, the haircut does not come with that face.

[@Lowriaa]

I find this particularly helpful for brands like Sezane, where their products are advertised with aesthetic, beautiful imagery. I now ask myself, do I think it will work for me, even though my lifestyle doesn’t match the styling and the life promised in the pictures?

Hannah, I never even finished this video but it helped me so much this week! I've been dreaming of getting a pair of handmade PNW work boots for years, ooh-ing and aaah-ing at the pretty brand new photos. I was picking out what leather looked the prettiest on the website... but this video reminded me that leather changes over time! Especially leather you wear on your feet! Now I am two rabbitholes deep on Reddit and Patina Project and I am choosing a totally different leather than I originally wanted, based entirely on your Longevity Visualization concept. Thank you for stating the 'obvious' and making it into a genuinely helpful lifestyle tip!

[@Shellyish]

7 seconds into this video and i have to say something about your whole lewk!! The hair! The eyes! The skin! Love. Love. Love.

[@solkim2051]

It brings me so much joy to listen to someone who loves deeply introspecting about clothes, sustainability, and the fantasy self as much I do.

[@findingthebroom]

I ask myself a few different questions when shopping. My favorite is asking myself "will I use this at least 30 times?" or "will I use this 100 times?", depending on what the item is etc. It really helps imo

[@leenb.7936]

Another thing, kinda following up on the 8th way talked about: clothes online are also often enough imagined on our body *how that body was when we were in better shape, better mindset or less burned up as we are now* in later states/parts of our lives. I was born with some chronic diseases but became disabled after a rather huge accident and more often than not, I catch myself envisioning whatever clothes I’m looking at on a more active and/or less painful version of me, not just the weight difference but the life circumstances that can mispresent an item’s usefulness to us and it’s definitely worth keeping this possibility in mind. This is most the case with all the outdated trend of old always coming back into trend and then we see similar items that we wore on less complicated times and the like. All this is certainly not a problem we all have but more often than not, we all can take some parts of comment and base it on our lives so I assume this comment will be useful to at least one of the people reading it.

[@sarahkelly4095]

Imagining clothes on my current chronically ill body has me investing in pajamas/loungewear instead of dresses. It’s bittersweet to admit my body’s limitations but I am feeling great sitting here in my silk pajamas from Quince ❤️

[@leenb.7936]

@@sarahkelly4095 those pyjama’s sound very nice indeed! It can be bittersweet at times, it certainly can change preferences in (clothing) style and such. I’m just grateful we do have wonderful options that do work with our limitations and needs. I love lounging in my pj’s during the day and often will wear my worn out or stained clothes in my bed (I love painting and a lot of my clothes are proof of that, even the bedlinen has too much proof of that hobby) just so I can have those cozier items for during the day whilst still having that ordinary routine of changing out day clothes for night clothes

[@UserinBerlin]

Thank you for sharing! Yes, I feel you. It is yet another meaning of "a fantasy self". I am allowing myself a tiny, symbolic proportion of the closet that represents the hope of "one day getting magically fine again", the magic I want to hold space for, forever. Then, I have a small part of my closet for "my current (healthwise) best days" when I can rock some more items that I love. The self-permission to keep some items like that allows me to focus with more lightness on building the core of my new cool closet in a way that works also for the days I am in a bad pain. ❤ Wishing a nice day to everyone and a shoutout to those who have been there, loving fashion and enjoying it on a chronically ill body, mastering a whole new level of creativity. We are in it together.

[@sarahmitchell821]

@leenb.7936 @sarahkelly4095 @UserinBerlin The three of you are inspiring 🤎🧡💛

[@sukioo0oo144]

My favorite technique is 1$ per use. If I want to buy a beany 80$ I ask myself ''am I going to wear it 80 times?''. If I buy myself a 365$ pair of jeans ''am I going to wear them 365 times?''. It usually works well. I do not buy the 25$ t-shirt that looks cute but wont stand more then two washes. It does not always apply, but most of the time it helps.

[@lisamassena835]

Meee tooooo!

[@TimeTravelReads]

I like the idea of trying to see through the fantasy self to figure out what if you're the kind of person who actually wears x type of clothing. What if you honestly don't know but you're willing to take the chance? I guess you just try it. I was in a consignment store with my mother and she brought me some linen pants. I'd never worn linen pants before. I didn't know whether I was the type who wore 100% linen. I liked the idea. They were really cute when I tried them on, and they were a reasonable price. I bought them. It turns out, that I am the type who wears linen pants, but not all the time. I wear them when I want to iron, do my makeup and hair, and wear nice shoes. I don't wear them for chores or laying around. I still think they were worth buying.

[@lexreavis]

Thank you SO much for choosing to show examples on humans of all ages, colors, sizes!! We are all so beautiful in our variations, and it genuinely makes me look forward to watching your videos to see depictions of what the real world looks like.

[@betterlivingonabudget]

Love the 'long term' perspective. One good thing that came from the '19' lockdowns was that it kept us all away from the stores for weeks and gave me a new perspective on my closet. I've always been a clothes nut on a tight budget, and have had way too many items for years. I'm reversing that now, and the 'quiet luxury' trend has been a big catalyst in changing my approach to making new purchases. Now it's very seldom, and only if it's high quality at a good price and will make a great mix/match piece.

[@traceyvincent2217]

Couldn't focus on a word you said, so dazzled was I by your hair! Beautiful

[@marlainebrowning6883]

As a plus-sized person, I find that many brands I want to try on in store refuse to stock in my size. This leads to what I call the “fat tax” wherein I have to buy online and often pay the non-refundable shipping cost just to try something on. I’ve learned over the years what brands tend to hold up better to wear but even then my choices are frequently based on the fantasy version of how I think I will look rather than the reality of how something sits on my body. I love what you say in this video and the linked video on frumpiness. If I could learn more about fabrics and if you could cover some stretchy fabrics (which look better on my plus-size frame than thick knits) I would appreciate it! For now, I’m checking out some brand links you mention here and in the frumpiness video. Thank you! ❤

[@bbappzz98]

I think what you could do is collect the things that do fit well on you and look for similarities in the tailoring. For example, I’m curvy so anything with princess seams will fit well bc the tailoring works for my body.

[@arianiv]

Loving this message of acceptance around the aging and imperfections of clothing, it really aligns with the concept of developing emotional durability with our clothes (shoutout to the Sustain This! Podcast). And you’re so right about the low level stress that comes from chasing the next “best” version or supposed “gaps in our closet”. Thank you Hannah for the brilliant style lessons as always! 🙏

[@Rcs2018]

I’ve used this strategy before and it works so well. It even helps me when I buy little knickknacks. When I think about where this thing will be at my house, how often it will actually be used, and how I will throw it away eventually. And 9/10 times I put the item down! I really appreciate your take on buying the real thing and not the fantasy item-that when you actually make the purchase, you are fully aware of what you are buying in its totality. Thank you!

[@lizasoliman723]

finally! words to describe my usual thought process! also, i find this quite applicable to furniture. as an interior designer working with clients, i bring them to the reality of what they're purchasing: wood will scratch, cushions are not perfect prisms, fabrics wrinkle & stretch. so many people think that they're buying the "paper doll clothes", or catalog page & i have to remind them that it's not real life 🙃

[@EiLpigreco]

I loved this video! Currently going through a lot of changes with my body as I enter my third trimester of pregnancy and I am already thinking of my body and personal style postpartum. I have found these fashion and personal style videos from you extremely helpful and interesting. They are giving me lots of food for thought right now! I would actually love to see a practical video on how you use Pinterest. Every time I open the app it’s absolute garbage. I am sure it’s because I never use it and the algorithm is just badly trained, but I am lost on how to use it efficiently as a tool to understand and visualize my personal style a bit more and I know you make great use of it!

[@davidhorner8661]

I love the concept of Longevity Visualisation. I have been using it as a tool since watching your content and always consider “What will this look like after 10 washes?” One of the things that bugs me the most is the loss of dye density and colour fading after wearing. Great work Hannah.

[@mackennaj]

I’m loving this red text throughout the video. It’s a great pop with the neutral garments in the photos.

[@sussie9895]

Super tip! I just emptied my shopping cart of a cheap polyester sheer top I was considering as a layering top. Instead I'm looking at a more expensive sheer merino wool top, and because of the price, I'm not even sure I "want" or "need" to buy the item anymore.

[@rekwa3860]

I've been eyeing tops like that too, i like the look very much, but i realize that with my lifestyle it's just not going to last :( I don't work in the office, i commute by public transport, i spend time in the forest. The dainty sheer fabric is not gonna hold up well.

[@cecileganel]

I know we’ve spoken about the hair in the comments. But ma’am. The brows are BROWING. What a genius way to frame purchases (I’d expect nothing less). I recently bought 4 items from a consignment store. Thinking back on those purchases I definitely see them in my wardrobe in a year. I’m going to continue to use this in the thrift/consignment store because it’s definitely a place where you can be more flippant about purchases due to them being secondhand and more affordable.

[@lindaperry7965]

"Use your brilliant mind." Love this.

[@luluandmeow]

The problem is that we don't always know what an item is going to look like after a few washes. I have expensive tops from Jigsaw (UK brand) and medium price items from Marks & Spencer's (UK store, usually good quality) that lost their shape completely or pilled so much, they looked cheap after a few washes/wears, it came as a bit of a shock that they didn't look any better or last any longer than fast fashion Primark items that cost much less. A lot of the clothes on sale even in reputable stores are fast fashion these days, it's really hard to trust a brand. I had the same experience with expensive suede boots from Hobbs, very comfortable and beautiful but the suede rubbed off after a few times I wore them under ordinary bootcut jeans.

[@aki-est]

12:43 THIS. Oh my god I finally had to splurge on high-quality work clothes because the cheap H&M dress pants were making me feel so bad every morning. Started every day for months in a bad mood about my cheap disintegrating suits and didn’t even realize it until a few weeks ago!

[@wzrdreams]

This made me think about how the denim community absolutely buys with the future version of their denim in mind. The idea of breaking in the garment and crafting a unique patina is part of the fun. It’s an investment of time and self.

[@sandravanetta1089]

I'm obsessed with your beautiful hair, Hannah! Can you let us in on what the cut is called and possibly how? Of course you always look gorgeous but this style you have here looks so natural and maybe easy to replicate and style, too! I can only hope!

[@francescarogato6880]

I like patent leather shoes because they basically always look great. It's the shininess that diistracts from flaws and patent shoes in general give off a polished vibe. If you were interested in investing in patent shoes you have thr blessing of this fashion loving girl on the internet

[@teganmartin8751]

Omg yes, I used to have a pair of black patent leather lace up heels and I wore them literally to death (sadly beyond repair) and they looked good up until their dying day.

After watching this video I actually returned several pieces of clothing I just bought that will look horrible a year from now. I also have managed to resist all Prime “deals”. Thank you for this video!

[@danamatsukawa4762]

This is why I like buying used, most of the clothing has been washed at least once. So it helps somewhat in knowing how the garment will look in the future. I am actually disappointed if I thrift online and the garment arrives new. lol

[@caitlinstark9321]

I feel like a lot of this is what I do when deciding how much to spend on an item. I want less things that aren't going to last but at the same time I know they are sometimes a good start to see if it is the type of thing that I should be investing in.

[@Deem57]

There are garments that I struggle to buy new because I don't like how stiff they are. Think of a brand new pair of jeans versus the worn in, soft as flannel jeans. Same thing with leather jackets, boots, etc. The longevity visualization question makes me more willing to buy some of these garments, as I know they will eventually become the thing I really enjoy wearing.

[@sarahmitchell821]

"They drape in the way of cloth" I love this!

[@MsSalanghae]

I love everything about this: The concept, your ability to talk about its nuances in such an eloquent way, your make-up, and your hair

[@omhomelin]

I think “Longevity Visualization” is a perfect term even tho it’s a lot of syllables and not snappy it’s kind of perfect for the purpose of what it’s describing. It takes more time to say because it’s asking us to do that with our purchases…. Slow down… be thoughtful…. No snap decisions. I like it - good video!

[@shannahsbeauty]

I love these types of videos and because of you I am currently on a journey to have fewer nicer things. I know you aren’t plus size but could you do a video on brands that make plus size clothes? A lot of my clothes are fast fashion because sometimes it’s the only place I can find clothes that match my style and that don’t look like a grandma.

[@audreyarsenault]

I love this so much!!!!! I'm currently struggling with what type of shoes to purchase to wear at work. I'm on my feet all day as a custom framer (for artwork, not houses). Initially, I wanted a pair of white Hoka sneakers because I know they will be super comfy. However, longevity visualization has made me consider just now how dingy these white sneakers will look within a year. Even if I used a magic eraser on them often, they will still never look as crisp as new. So, thank you Hannah!!! Honestly, I should consider a color that will mask the wear and tear much better than white.

How about some dansko clogs?

I bought an acrylic sweater from the 90s at a vintage shop-it looks great, very little piling. Maybe it’s made of better yarn.

[@mettamorph4523]

More likely it wasn't worn. I've experienced acrylic in the 80s. Learned to avoid it.

[@valeriematthews8844]

So much good info here! I think it is worth noting that sometimes it *is* the future version of the product we want--and then we are disappointed when the product doesn't change in the way we expect. We try on the imperfect product and convince ourselves it will be the product we want after it breaks in, gets softer, stretches or shrinks in the dryer. In addition to knowledge about fabrics and construction and such, it is worth reading the negative reviews of a product. Learn from someone else who tried to break in the shoe but it was still stiff a dozen wears later, or tried to shrink it in the dryer but it is still oversized. (Or, if it was perfect when you tried it on, the reviews might tell you whether or not it will stay that way.)

[@helenherlitz9012]

Brilliant way to think about shopping - anything! Get past the thrill to but and look to practicallity and value for money - thanks!

Longevity visualization is actually a GREAT way to put it! Very helpful!

[@iammolliegirl]

Hi, Hannah! I love this principle, but sometimes I get caught in a loop around clothing purchasing. I do hours and hours of research about the ethics, sustainability, wearability, longevity, and cost of a garment. Do you have any tips for staying out of that thought-bog while respecting a limited budget? Thanks!

[@TarynRMartin]

“Buying the future version” of an item really speaks to me. Not only does a garment not remain paper doll perfect; it never was. I do a majority of my shopping online and can tend to forget that an item is going to be worn on my imperfect human body. The item will never be as “good” on me as on its 19 year old Depop seller. *Buying the thing will not turn me into the person wearing the thing.*

In a year from now, this dress will be interesting to me?, will i used up that lipstick? or in a year from now this annoying neighbor will still be around? Will this person I recently know became an actual Friend? This situation at work is on? my health will be the same? what is worth our time and energy in ONE YEAR from now?

I was excited to hear sponsored by Merit at the beginning - giving us a bonus look for this great style video! I really hope Merit sent you the new Holiday sets. I'm so curious for your thoughts on the new lip shades, where they stand in the Merit color pantheon, and what you think of the new lip blush formula.

I am absolutely doing the nakedness cheek except for some highlighter also, and I am loving it. So influenced by you, even using what I already have, for now!

[@eliwilliamson7849]

2 seconds in - what a vibe today 😍

SUPER helpful tip!! Great video, I love it when you post these kinds of videos, it's always fun to hear your thought process and philosophizing :D Something I also love to do if I'm buying something new online is to do a web search of the clothing on a used/thrift site and look at the pictures. Sometimes not having the shiny, beautiful marketing photos accompanying the clothes takes the thrill out of it. If I still love the item under a normal phone camera, then it's much more likely to have longevity in my closet.

This is a great philosophy. I recently bought a t shirt, and after trying it on at home, realised that it wasn't my style or the quality I liked.

[@thinkofthesmell]

excellently timed video as I just purchased a pair of green suede sneakers I've been lusting after for months and am promising myself I won't ruin immediately

[@jengirl2]

Love the styling of your hair! The whole lewk is fantastic. I’m a Merit convert thanks to you.

[@katieeastridge2078]

Your hair looks amazing. Are you still using the Matrix a Curl Can Dream cowash instead of Hairstory? Would love an update on your hair products. Thank you!

Just the best advice! Brilliant, intelligent, and you made it simple to use. Bravo 👏 Love from Paris ✨

"You know yourself better than trends know you." Love it. I just ordered a periwinkle cardigan instead of the cranberry hoodie I'd wanted for years. I felt pressure because it was on sale, and might only be sold this year. I love periwinkle in theory, but I also have bad memories of it. I wore it a lot when I was leaning into toxic positivity and was trying to be overly sweet and submissively feminine in a way that didn't allow me to have a voice. In the last few years I've leaned into darker muted colors for winter. I'm hoping I can reclaim this color to have some sunshine in the winter, without being overwhelmed by those past feelings, but part of me regrets not getting the hoodie I originally wanted.

An $80 beanie is a NO because its $80 !
