I follow a number of fashion influencers, and I have come to realize that you are the best for "the everyday woman's life." Your advice is spot on, practical, beautiful, and livable for real people. Thank you, Melissa!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you so much x

[@ckveggie6006]

Totally agree

[@Isawthat411]

Isn’t she the BEST?!

[@olivebobo6885]

Melissa, absolutely is the best, and I see a lot of others copying her. When I watch them I think hmm you have been watching g Melissa

[@janetwood7944]

Totally agree this was really informative , made me realise how my wardrobe isn’t working for me . I need to dress for my life style. Thank you Melissa.

[@sunstar19871014ify]

I came across your videos around two months ago and took on your advice. I’m roughly 80% at the wardrobe that I want to achieve, but already by following your tips getting dressed now is just so much easier, everything works, there’s endless combinations and instead of dreading the moment of choosing an outfit I’m now spoilt for choice. My style looks much more polished but I still feel like myself and not like some influencer that’s just not me. You’re hands down the best stylist out there and I’m really grateful for your practical tips. Your outfits are inspiring and your positive energy is contagious.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you for saying that and I’m really glad to hear that my advice is helping you x

[@rjb9886]

Please don’t feel you need to apologize for Monty. He’s an always welcome scene stealer.

[@arezoum1366]

I finally got it! I don't need different colours to avoid becoming bored, I need different shades and tints of the same colour! Wow! I'm so excited now 😅 thanks a million

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Have fun!

[@bernadettehawes]

Never has a 30+ minute video finished so quickly!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

There’s loads more on here including 29 (soon to be 30) body shape masterclasses where I dress women of all different shapes and sizes live on the channel x

[@michelegressel6627]

This is the best explanation of what it means to have a great practical working wardrobe ! Congratulations.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you! 😃

[@StoneWallFlower]

It was a real turning point for me when you shared the tip to have the same colour top but in different fabric weights. It instantly made things in my wardrobe so much more compatible!

[@jodimdugas]

Melissa, I watch and love ALL of your videos. You meet the “every day woman” where she is, accepting the body type she has.. This one really hits the mark! Please keep them coming. Thank you!

[@ruthblaine9824]

I ABSOLUTELY cannot wear white. People ask if I'm feeling ill. It makes me look drawn with dark shadows on my face and almost yellowish. Ivory, on the other hand, lights me up from the inside! Ivory is challenging to find, but worth the search. I really enjoy your ideas, very practical and useful.

[@amybristow1389]

If you’re in the UK, Kettlewell Colours are a stockist selling your spring, summer etc ‘colours’ if you’ve had an analysis done. I get ivory / off white tops from them

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

See, that's what Melissa is talking about. I can't wear cream or ivory as they make me look ill but bright white is great for me. There's a white for everyone.

[@tanitshkatanjusha]

You can find a creme color..not fully white. Check your color palette. What type are you?

[@GGMCreates]

Lol, I can wear white..... for 1 wear. I have kids and pets and hard water, I get 1 wear before something like that looks dingy or has something on it.... well, honestly, I get the stains out, but I just get more stuff on it. Idk, maybe that somehow just factors into lifestyle, I'd rather have my hands in the dirt out in the garden than pristine white clothes.

[@vanessabanyas164]

Based on your philosophy for a capsule wardrobe, and every day living, I’m curious as how to you would pack for a vacation - when you are only traveling with a carry-on bag, for let’s say 10 days. I think this would make for an excellent video for all of us to learn from.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

The short answer is that I wouldn't only take a carry on for 10 days unless it was an exercising type of holiday where i needed limited items!!! I am doing a holiday video soon so hopefully you'll be able to watch that and you can also see the one I did last year that is still live on youtube.

[@TipsWithTrace]

Makes so much sense! My MIL always comments that my wardrobe lacks colour! There is a reason for that 😂 Also I now have an answer for husband who asks “why do you need another striped top?”

[@mmpersonalstyling]

The answer is always ‘yes’ 🤣🤣

[@crisheadley9100]

The best tip I learned in this video is start out by planning your outfit of the day with your jacket. It never occured to me to go this direction. It makes sense and will elimate the frumpy look I get when I just throw on a jacket because I need one that day. I learn so much from your videos!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That makes us happy to hear 😊

[@donnadursee9243]

I’ve been watching your videos for about 2 years now and they are “brilliant”! You have taught me how to build a fabulous wardrobe that I love. I really think before I buy any clothing items which has saved me money. I can’t thank you enough. I hope you continue to make these amazing videos for us.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That’s lovely to hear, thank you x

[@GemInTheGarden]

This has got to be the best video I have watched on casual wardrobes, the way you explain each point and aim your advice at the everyday woman is so helpful 😊 Thank You ☺️

[@mmpersonalstyling]

You are so welcome!

[@user-lq9xt2vb5r]

Your videos are fabulous. So informative and helpful and said in such a friendly but obviously experienced way. I’m nearly 58 and desperate to now sort a capsule wardrobe as so many of my clothes don’t mix and match like I can now see how a capsule wardrobe does. Plus would rather have a third of the quantity but replaced with quality items. You must be a handy BFF to have!! VEB

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Lets hope my friends think so!

[@bernadettehawes]

I had to chuckle as I started to watch your video. If only I could have watched a video like this years ago! I have almost never bought an item thinking about how it would fit into my wardrobe, what it would go with and years ago, I would simply get something I liked the look of in the shop, without even giving much consideration to what it looked like on me, or what jacket/jumper would look good with it. Then, when I needed a jacket, jumper, coat and something wasn’t quite right, oh dear! Put up with it and be ‘multicolour’ (yes, really) or go make another purchase to add to the bulk. Actually my teen son got me thinking. He would want to buy ‘an outfit’ so 2-3 items that went together and looked good together. It went against the grain of my frugal upbringing, but actually saves money and time. So I’m on the journey. My latest purchase, a linen beige-y jacket goes with virtually all my summer dresses and many other things. A lightweight one size up long sleeve denim dress goes over multiple layers underneath so I can wear it for 3 seasons. Thank you. I’m still learning and you gave a ton of great advice and insight here. Much appreciated.

[@Ervingirl1]

I love your styling videos! I’ll be 69 in July but I will always love fashion and current trends and use so many of your design tips. Thanks so much for sharing your invaluable fashion knowledge n

[@rosaleenpalmer9947]

I’m 63 and have been enjoying Melissa for a few years now!

[@user-zs2so6qm1g]

If I see another Lilysilk paid for promotion on You Tube I will scream!!! We can't all afford their prices no matter how nice the items are

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Please remember that my followers have varied budgets and actually Lilysilk is one of the most successful partnerships we show. The majority of time we do high street brands so you should find plenty of other recommendations on here.

[@vblackwell3347]

The items are not as"nice" as they were. I've moved on. You're not missing anything, imo. 😊

[@jodyd5786]

This video was so helpful! I’m going to assess my wardrobe now and see what I need to fill in the gaps. Thank you!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

So glad!

[@kikihodges8695]

I've been watching your videos for just a week, and you inspired me to look through my wardrobe. I didn't have a single white tee shirt, I didn't think they were for me. But taken your advice and bought 3 white tee shirts and a white vest. Watching now to get the inspiration to mix in.

[@Knitting_with_doods]

You are literally the BEST! Thank you for sharing your expertise. You & Clare have helped me so much over the last 1-2 years as I rebuild my wardrobe to reflect the life (and body) I now have in my early 40s versus clinging to a previous version of myself. Thank you for always keeping it real 🙂♥️ ps. Hi Monty!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Wow, thank you!🙏

[@ewaskalska631]

I genuinely enjoy your posts most among all other youtubers - somehow you always grasp the essence of the matter and your advice bring the best results. Your content is very inspirational and I already benefit a lot from using your tips. I simply cannot wait to dress every morning - this is how I like my wardrobe right now and much owing to you :) Thank you Melissa for being there for everyday woman - thank you for being there for me :)

[@mmpersonalstyling]

My pleasure! Thank you for saying so

[@nancynewman6592]

One of my biggest take-aways from your videos is that you will always benefit from a number of white, ivory ,cream, tops in various weights. You always have something to wear, especially at the last minute 😄 and still feel fresh and put together

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Couldn’t have said it better myself!!

[@CarolAReece-ii1ry]

I did learn a lot from this video. Thank you

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Glad to hear it!

[@elenamarie272]

It is so evident that you love what you do, and my personal feeling is that you do it extremely well. I have implemented a lot of your styling tips just by watching your videos and writing things down. I've donated quite a bit of clothes that I no longer need or that no longer have a purpose in my closet based on my lifestyle and body shape. Thank you for doing what you do! Love from the U.S.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Wow, thank you for your generous comments x

[@nicolemaddison2945]

Great, real advice. I'm 64 I have a capsule most seasons but have a a wardroom,not robe. Cheers from Aus

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thanks for watching!

[@juliemoses1909]

I have never mastered athleisure for my off hours AND being able to run to the store. I look dismal in sweats. Jeans are too uncomfortable to wear around the house. I feel too old for yoga pants everywhere at 63. My solution is a work wardrobe, a casual wardrobe, a workout wardrobe and loungewear. As you can imagine, I have filled three closets, two dresser drawers and a bunch of baskets in a shelving unit. 😂 Excellent video. Maybe I should just embrace the yoge pants!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

You can do it!

[@user-tq8dp9hy1x]

Thank you! For your amazing advise and guidance. This year I have bought white tops - tight, flowy, Warm, cool. And they have really made a difference. Earlier I never would have worn white … last week a had a white top three days! I feel fresh, happy and I have so many more outfits in my closet now. So thank you, my next step is a capsule wardrobe and not to wear as much black. I live in Stockholm and we scandivians love our black😊.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That's great to hear x

[@vickiwest4149]

Wow, Melissa ~ I can't tell you how many times I was nodding in agreement or saying 'Amen!' especially when it came to casual/evening/loungewear having a greater percentage of your wardrobe. You still want to feel good and not frumpy!! I also appreciate the tip on completing an outfit with more than one item in one color family (shoes/handbag/belt/jacket). You've mentioned that before ~ but drilling it into us helps it (hopefully) take hold as we build our (my) wardrobes. I sincerely appreciate you!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That’s incredibly nice of you to say, thank you and I appreciate you guys watching me!

[@judithgilbert3536]

Wow! This makes so much sense! Now I know why I am always loathe to get rid of white shirt duplicates! Thank you. 😊

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Glad it was helpful!

[@heatherdouglas-palumberi8297]

Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. You have provided us all with both general concepts and with specific actions to take. Really valuable and entertaining at the same time. I have to let you know that this has made such a world of difference for me in particular! Other stylists have their own good ideas, but really cannot compare, as I always think about proportionality now - hourglass! V-necks! A sliver of white tee at the hip! A necklace placed just so! The complementary colors in a capsule collection - with specific details! So great! You are the best. My sincere thanks from the US! 🎉🎉🎉

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That’s so lovely of you to say, thank you 🙏 I very much appreciate your comments xx

[@janestwocents6938]

Thank you! As I've aged and hair has gone silver/white I have really simplified the colors that I wear on top and sometimes I worry that I'm always going around in some version of a white or pink or black top, but they work! As you say, diff weights, fabrics etc. I guess I'm NOT crazy or lazy or boring... Really loved this video!🎉

[@eleanorandrews6048]

Thank you so much really appreciate the wardrobe advice. I never heard a capsule wardrobe been put together like this.Will implement this immediately although I'm in the southern hemisphere and it's autumn by us can still use these tips ❤

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Glad it was helpful! xx

[@joannajohnson8749]

Best capsule wardrobe video I have ever watched!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Wow, thank you! 🤩

[@vickif.4645]

Your advice is so very helpful, Melissa. I have added all kinds of outfits to my repertoire just by adding a white top and a navy blazer. They go with everything I have. Now working on the shoes! Thank you!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Great to hear. Good luck with the shoes!

[@storytime8205]

Well, after lusting after your white cardigan for weeks and looking for something less expensive but a comparable style here in Western Canada, I bit the bullet and ordered the Lily Silk cardigan. 😛 Thanks for the discount code -- it definitely helps! I hope the cardigan looks as good on me as it does on you. 😜 Such a helpful video again, Melissa!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Really hope you love it, I wear my constantly x

[@storytime8205]

@@mmpersonalstyling Got it yesterday and it's gorgeous! Just a thought for an upcoming video (if you need it?). Now that I've got loads of neutrals (basically I've transformed my wardrobe since having that styling session with you last June - Catherine from Vancouver -- and taking your course) could you give some ideas on how to start incorporating a bit more colour. I feel a bit colour shy!! ☺Thanks, Melissa.

[@debrawright9195]

Great tips Melissa. I've been busy filling bags for a charity shop and rebuying neutrals 😅. I did my colours and I'm an Autumn so I'm getting rid of a lot of my blue, black, and grey clothing. I suit off white, camels, warm greens and tans so I'm enjoying shopping for new clothes in those colours now 😎

[@brigidkeogh416]

Im also an Autumn. Same as that.❤

[@GrandDuchessAniya]

You have convinced me to buy better quality athleisure! I live in this style most of the week during the cooler months because I only have to go into the office one day per week. Like you, I usually wear jeans or casual pants on the days I go in. For the warmer months, I live in cotton jersey knit dresses from Lilly Pulitzer or Draper James for everything.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Great to hear!

[@karenbonnar8648]

Really enjoyed the video Melissa , always great explanations and couldn’t have come at a better time as I’m going to do my capsule wardrobe for spring. I have been following you from the start and have learned so much from you and your team, thank you and look forward to the next one 🥰

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you for sticking with us Karen, I do always see your comments x

[@sandralokoff5144]

Great video as usual. I love your specificity - you’ve made sense of my multitude of striped tops , white T-shirts and beige coats - which I have hung onto but didn’t know why! Now it makes sense… Thanks again Melissa.

[@honeybadger8893]

FANTASTIC VIDEO!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you very much!

[@irnalonso]

I love Spring and Autumn clothes and styles! I think we can show our style better in this kind of weather However living in Madrid they are really short seasons weather-wise (we hit 28 °C today, but last Monday they were 10° C) so having a small capsule of staples and combining winter and summer clothes makes with them a lot of sense for my day to day. Also, the outfits could be really fun, like knitted jumpers and sandals I also appreciate very much your tips in mantaining the clothes. I only send rugs to the dry-cleaner after a few bad experiences

[@sussie9895]

Perfect timing as I’m switching out my wardrobe to spring! Another brilliant video.

[@user-rx7ir5et2l]

This was a really good video. I'm trying to build a wardrobe of clothes without being wasteful. Having lost a lot of weight through dieting, I'm relearning how to put outfits together so your hints and tips are so useful. Thank you.

[@tracycross9683]

I love your style and everything you say about styling makes so much sense. Ive got into the habit of always buying/wearing black😞 Looking forward to going shopping for a whole new wardrobe and ditching the black x

[@ja-ewela]

I was waiting for this episode 🤩 I remember watching your first episode of Spring Capsule Wardrobe, where you explained why we need different things in our wardrobe. It was 3 years ago when you were just starting out and I fell in love with your approach and your Spring and Summer Capsule videos. Kisses

[@karenferguson7662]

Thank you so much for ideas on a capsule wardrobe that doesn't have to have a specific checklist of things that I'm never likely to need/wear. Also, the idea of having the same colour/tones of things but in a different texture/weight has been really helpful. I have been looking at ideas on how to create a capsule wardrobe for quite a while now, and haven't seen this suggestion before- or it hasn't sunk in. That will help me when I think about buying something, and I'd think 'well I have a white top already'. I'm so glad I came across your videos 18+ months ago.

Great video! Will help me audit my clothing for spring/summer. In particular, I loved the advice for establishing a color palette. And also remembering to have different fits in tops. I believe you showed at least 3-4 different striped tops. Some were closer fitting, with and without sleeves, and the others were looser fitting...these would pair with different styles of trousers and jeans. Light bulb moment for me. Thank you.

Thank you Melissa for this fantastic video. I’ve completely revamped my wardrobe since my lovely day out with Clare using your theory. It’s so easy to just keep buying clothes and still have “nothing to wear” but with the approach you teach I see how just sticking to the neutrals and building a base foundation of pieces that mix and match, so much better 😊thank you for helping us all xx

Hi Melissa, I have just subscribed on the strength of this video. Your advice is a bit different from other channels but makes so much more sense, to me and my lifestyle anyway. Whenever i think I need to cull my wardrobe I always hesitate on the white section as I do have a lot of different white tops. Thank you for validating their value. I will keep them and focus more on the mismatched patterns/colours in future clear outs.
