While 6 inches shorter than you and much older, I always find your advice transcends and applicable to almost any figure type or age. You have the ability to be able to wear anything and turn it into a tasteful ensemble.

[@robstrck8]

New subscriber here. I used to watch your shorts when they popped up on my feed. Love your style. It suits me. I’ve learned a lot and it just goes to show that at 64 it’s never too late to learn new things. Thanks ☺️

[@juliabell9795]

I love your styling Lydia. So clever. I do find the editing of the video makes it a little difficult to follow. I would love to see the outfits whilst you continue to discuss them, maybe with the use of a split screen so we can see you while you talk but can also see the outfit. I keep having to scroll back to see the specific points you are making. Thank you for the fabulous ideas though!

[@tOzzBiatch]

I would love to see something along the lines of 'one piece four seasons' or 'one outfit four seasons' and you show us how to wear certain pieces in all seasons and maybe some transitional looks for in-between!

[@hannahrobertson1397]

That's a great idea!

[@suefranklin1476]

Great video Lydia, thank you. Would love to see a video called ‘’ What I turn to, when I am not sure what to wear ‘’ Many thanks.

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

Hi Lydia. These slouchy trousers are my favourite style. I think they always look really chic and I hope to add another pair to my autumn/winter wardrobe. I loved all the looks you showed.🧡🍁🍂

[@helenobrien5952]

I am, like many, a lot older than you but have pretty much stopped watching all the over 50 sites in favour of yours. Absolutely love your style tips and presentation. Wish you could come and go through my entire wardrobe and then come shopping with me 😂😂

[@shellbell8062]

I have just bought the Arket hopsack trousers in black so happy to see this! So silly but I found black trousers intimidating. I used to wear them when I was a waitress years ago and they always remind me of that - or of stuffy office wear. But they really are gorgeous when styled well. My fave was the evening look with the one shoulder top.

[@marionannmacredie]

Love this kind of video 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 teaches me how to stay relevant at 73😃 heading into spring in New Zealand 😁

[@Ivymoon]

Loved how You styled yor options to style your tops and bottoms un this transitional season, like here @ southern California, that this week, summer is starting to making change to styled with light jakets and/or sweater and these wardrobes are justo what I have un my closet 👍

[@lydiemaston5128]

Love your pieces of advice...so precious, useful, and precise. They help me a lot each day. All is about balancing outfits as you always say. Have a very good day. See you from France. Lydie.

[@Abby-Brock]

The Chanel-inspired look was perfection! 😍

[@asianangie7209]

Love all the outfits! My favorite is the v neck cardigan with those flats! You honestly look great in anything!

[@khalilahd.]

Such a sleek closet must have! Love how you styled them ❤

[@jayn5741]

I admire the ways in which your content calls back to quality over quantity, and timeless pieces acting as the backbone of the wardrobe. One of the biggest issue I’ve found was knowing how to care for pieces like wool blazers or trousers that require more delicate care. It would be interesting to see how you manage to care for your pieces that stay in your wardrobe after each season.

[@FF-pn7fx]

I really missed you, 12 days are too long! 😭

[@BudgetandGrow]

I just bought similar pants from Zara for an upcoming trip. I like to look smart casual on the plane and now I see all the possibilities with this trousers so thank you for this content!!!

[@habituallinestepper8839]

I love your sense of style

[@eliv.7062]

I love your style!! So simple, elegant and timeless. You can't get wrong with those trousers, they are a must-have. You always make me think of a classic film star, Lydia. I love your Brit accent too!

[@gordanakosanovic2600]

Thank you. Great outfits- I liked all of them. I used to have similar trousers and now I really want to buy a new pair.

[@Mina_Susnjevic]

All looks are chef’s kiss 👌🏻 Thank you! Very helpful.

[@anaellucky5615]

I so glad to see you new video, Lydia. The outfits are so beautiful. Love them all ❤️💜

[@annamarihiljanen5221]

Thank you Lydia💕 I appreciate your videos and the quality of the this is insane! Very sharp!🤩

[@DesireeGrey]

Thanks Lydia - one of the best stylists on KZbin. Love all the outfits, so elegant and polished. May I ask please where the sandals in outfit 5 are from? I’m in Australia so we’re coming into our warmer months and I’m looking for sandals exactly like these. Thank you 🙏 ❤

[@miraltawfik2712]

Not only do I love your style but because I have a similar body shape, your choice of items to pair works beautifully for me 👏👏👏

[@bauerntrulla]

Love ur style. You inspired me for my evening out outfit with my bestie today. Thanks. 😘

[@naslyustariz9740]

My favorite is the one with the one shoulder top, and maybe tha last one. In ever of the 5 looks we can find something useful

[@breanneshort4418]

Perfect timing Lydia for this video! Thank you for these options and for alternative pieces too… I want the demallier bag and the rosae top! The ballet flats too 😂!! Your so classic and timeless!!!

[@teresapais7695]

Hi Lydia, Thank you so much for another fantastic video! I already missed you!!! In this video, my favorite outfit is the first one. As I am petit, I wear the pants a little shorter than you, in order to show a little of the ankle. I also liked the second outfit, but I would wear it without the belt. I really like your work. If it were possible I would like to see some videos about the relationship between the height of the pants and the type of shoe or boot we are wearing. Another topic I would like to see is the waist of the pants, medium or high, what kind of blouse or shirt to wear and whether I should put them in or out of the pants. Thank you!

[@maricelg777]

Thanks Lydia 🤍

[@bookwormgirl4819]

This style of trousers have historically been called slacks. I think women started wearing them in the earlier part of the twentieth century.

[@khalilahd.]

Good to know. Thank you!

[@ericacarroll7948]

Love a slack and a frock 😂

[@pyjamabottoms670]

Slacks is a US term isn't it? Not UK?

[@filipina5919]

Same here in the Philippines we also call it slacks

[@user-hx9ud2mn8u]

Love all the looks

[@karelmillard9854]

Great ideas! Love these outfits and your style tips. Perfect timing 👍❤️

[@janechiu370]

Another fantastic and useful video! 🎉

[@jessieflores6783]

Love the video! As you’re describing the outfit it would be great to see some detail shots of the pieces like your zara jewelry or your purses.😊

[@anyatuts8165]

Recently I bought similar trousers but a bit shorter. Anyway it can seem unusual, too manly, but this type of pants surprisingly gives you such a strong feeling of yourself. I didn't expect it from ordinary trousers

[@user-hx9ud2mn8u]

The trousers are my favourite trouser style

[@claudia5446]

Your videos are saving my life and damaged my wallet! 🥴I am so happy to follow one by one your unique advises! I send you my sincere appreciation and gratitude. PS . If I could help you from my side : hand movements with spread fingers tend to look hostile and aggressive. Try to have less hand movements and when you should move your hands try movements with fingers not spread. Try it on the mirror.

[@esharay2251]

I love all the looks you’ve shared with us. I love love your accent ❤ love from this 🇧🇷 girl 😘

[@silviasauc8570]

Very good, congratulations Lydia.

[@ruthrehak4995]

Thanks for differentiating the different kinds of wide leg pants. I've bought several that I thought would work and ended up taking them back. Now I know the reason they didn't work is that they we're all the triangular wide bottom which is too wide for my 5'1 frame. Now I know which ones to look for.

[@jodangelo-fotopoulos7030]

I love this type of video Lydia. Thank you for all the information you provide

[@veroniquejulienne8205]

Love all the outfits you created ! And I ordered the gorgeous leaf earrings from Zara, such a statement piece which can elevate a look so easily 😉

[@epbluestar3732]

I absolutely love your style although I’m learning not every thing I love works the same on me since I’m a little more busty but still I’ve learned so much. I do have one question though. You look your best in blues and greens. You absolutely radiate. You are a cool. I understand the camels you find best because they are the ones that work best on me. More of an oatmeal color. My question is how you wear gold. I’ve always worn silver as it seems to work best with my coloring so I’m a little confused about the gold. I would love to be able to wear gold. Thank you so much and thank you of course for all you do!!! For reference I’m a blonde with green eyes.

[@waadtriq]

You're so sweet! Thank you for the efforts ♥️

[@17Lramirez]

LOVE all these looks, so inspiring!

[@nicolaspaulien4173]

Beautiful ❤

[@katygreenwich]

I would go to see a review of the Gucci princetown loafers, I’ve had my eyes on these for years for wondering if they are worth the price tag. I’m guessing yes as I’ve never seen an equivalent that look so lovely xx

[@bettinagenge3488]

Thank you. Love every style.

[@federicabattaglino8944]

Hi Lydia! I’m a new subscriber from Italy. I love your style very much! Awaiting the next video!!! Bye ☺️🤗

[@lenatruong8642]

Thank Thank so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Zara88-]

You are the best and beautiful♥️✅🙏💯

[@laurelledubois]

🌟Stellar .. as always..

[@n.b.3521]

Yay, Lydia is back! Off topic, but I've noticed you don't wear a lot of hats, particularly brimmed ones. Unfortunately, there are few weather conditions here in Toronto, Canada where I can get away with that (strong UV, or too cold), so I'm wondering if you have any tips? Also, if you have any tips for keeping hats from blowing away that'd be great too!

[@smjames4808]

Hi Lydia, your videos have helped me so much. I was wondering if you would do a video on your collection of boots and which are the most versatile; which get the most and least use, etc. I love all the boots I see on you but end up wanting all of them, haha. The same goes for your collection of winter coats. I live in Australia and can only justify owning a couple but end up wanting them in many different shades. If you could only keep two or three, which ones would you choose? Thanks.

[@dagnolia6004]

thank you

[@sunshine-bs2jx]

You are the best

[@sharc6754]

Did you fold under the pant length in the chanel look with ballet slippers? How do you manage the pant length for different height shoes?

[@Ephemeral-d4y]

i love your style but i wish you would show or flash the items one by one as you talk about them as i find myself having to go back and forth for reference.

[@deathofpoptart]

Can you do a video on how to look more elongated/taller? For short girls =)

[@epbluestar3732]

Random question. How can I keep my blouse to keep falling back. It’s annoying to constantly have to keep pushing it back. Thank you

[@freedvanessa]

You are just perfect, thank you for all your advice 😊🎉

[@alphafe1621]

👌👍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ramonaoneill9321]

Sorry but i tatally disagree about straw bag as transitional or year round. I rarely disagree with you but truly this is a no no. Graduate of The Ray-vogue school of design. Chicago

[@cynthiaflores7547]

I like you style and your look pretty nice With everything. But I think you look old, you’re too young for that style. It’s just my opinion. Sorry for my English.
