Really helpful ! Nobody does videos as helpful as you do 😘. They show what looks good but they don’t explain.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Oh thank you, I’m glad you find them helpful.

[@MrsTracyGuichard]

You are very good at this. You are my favorite stylist to watch. Great job you are a natural.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Wow, thank you!

[@lindsaytowers554]

Hi Melissa and team, I'd like to give you a big thank you! I'm currently on holiday in Turkey and the past 2 nights I've had people stop me saying I look lovely. I put that down to your teaching. I've watched and rewatched your videos trying to learn as much as I can. I'm a plus size lady with a large bust and stomach so it's not always easy to find flattering clothes. I wish I lived closer as I'd love to be a model for you. I'll be rewatching your videos again once home. For my Autumn/winter wardrobe. Hopefully I can do your course sometime in the future as I'd love to help other plus size women. Thanks again. Please keep up the good work ❤

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Love that 🥰. I’m so glad the videos have helped you and thank you for taking the time to let us know. X

[@jessicahanney5200]

I'd love to see "neutral" outfits for a deep winter colouring or someone that suits silver better than gold. I love the outfits on you but they wouldn't work with my colouring at all! x

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Just watch one of the 18 body shape masterclasses as we’ve covered most colourings on there.

[@Dwynfal]

I'm with you on this! I just cannot wear yellow gold, it looks terrible on me! All my jewellery is silver/white gold/platinum/stainless steel. Don't get me started on belt/shoe/bag manufacturers who default to gold hardware 95% of the time!!! 😠

[@Wingate8000]

I’m also a winter colouring and find that navy and a bright white are my best neutrals but I skip all the lovely beiges and brown unless it’s shoes and accessories. In the end I still have bright colours in my summer wardrobe as they suit me best but I try to just pick 1-2 (green and denim-mid blue) and then I apply the same guidance of having several green items that I can mix and match with etc.

[@UlrikeSchwarz-Radivojac]

Same here. It would be lovely to have a winter type as second "model" so we could see booth warm and cool neutrals. I am wearing a lot of bright whites and grays, as well as champagne or light blues. No gold at all, doesn't work for me either. Besides, thank you so much for all the time you put in your youtube audience!

[@virginiemazy7054]

Same here 😊 no gold, only silver. I usually have off white, marine blue and gray as main colours as cream / beige / brown do not go well. I love electric blue and fuchsia (bright pink). I love tan/cognac for bags and shoes. I think we could wear beige but more as bottom or a layer provided we have a bright white next to our face. (I also avoid pastels like the plague 😂 except when it’s a blue shirt).

[@lynnmeade1669]

Thank you, Melissa, for teaching me how to dress this new shape I’m in at 58. When I was younger I could wear most outfits without much thought. I was tall and slim. But now… still tall 5’7” 😂, but have lost my waist. You and your team have helped me sort through my clothes for what works best for my current shape. And I always remember ‘everyone needs a friend ‘. Really pulls an outfit together. I really appreciate all your tips and tricks to make us look our best, no matter our size and shape. You’re the best!! xx

Lovely classic looks Melissa! I have a Lily Silk sweater from a few years ago and just love it. I do wish they would expand to petite sizes as most just don’t fit me at all. I love the looks you created for late summer here in the US.

OMG!!! I’m a new subscriber and was watching some earlier videos when I came upon this one. I have a pair of white jeans I’ve had all summer, but never have worn as I couldn’t figure out the right shoe to wear…and I consider myself pretty fashion savvy..I just cut them off like you mentioned and they are now perfect!!! I tried them with some cute low sling backs and flats and LOVE the look…I’m in California and plan to still get a few wears out of these!!! Thanks so much for the tips!!!❤️

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Welcome!! That’s great to hear, glad you found the tips useful xx 😘

[@marycosgrove1587]

Ty Melissa! I'm always learning from you. It was interesting to know how much of your ankle and foot should be exposed for what type of shoes or sandals that you should wear. I absolutely adore these neutral colors. They are my favorites. Thanks to your friend and pup as well. Have a lovely week.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

You are so welcome!

[@florencewatts3185]

Another great video Melissa. The tonal scheme works beautifully but the dark creams, browns or camels are colours I find hard to wear wear. The striped shirt would work beautifully so as I’m cool toned I assume I could switch out the browns for navy accessories or nude? I’d love to see a similar video showing how differing skin tones could adapt a capsule wardrobe. Thanks as always. ❤

[@mmpersonalstyling]

You’re best watching one of the 18 body shape masterclasses on here where I dress women of all different shapes and sizes live on the channel as this will show you how I use neutrals on all of them, regardless of their colourings. It’s more about where you use them and in particular how close to the face you’re wearing them. We have a colour specific course coming out of that’s if any interest.

[@athertonsorrenti1709]

Loving your videos! Thank you so much. What color bag would you receive mend if you only choose one? Tan or sand/pebble or something else?

[@mmpersonalstyling]

It depends on which one would go in your personal wardrobe best. For me it would be a tan or cream one but my wardrobe will be different to yours.

[@dalemann8648]

Love your videos! Would you please consider doing a video for how-to dress for over 60.

[@lynnshelley8949]

I love your videos, Melissa, and have learnt so much from you. Thank you! I'd love it if you could give some alternatives to Lilysilk. I'm still refusing to buy from them in case they are using Uighur labour and worry in case their ethics don't align with western ethics.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I only feature them 1-2 a year so there’s many videos in between which will show alternative pieces x

[@serenahenault3779]

The tips for pants length are the best ever! I struggle with this. But, Melissa, I was kinda thinking that when you paired the jeans with the Birkenstocks, that your jean length was a little bit in "no man's land", based upon your own recommendations.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That’s because of the straps on the Birkenstocks which reduces the amount of foot/ankle skin on show. It’s really hard to mock it all up correctly and it’s only when you start editing afterwards that certain things display the point better than others!

[@serenahenault3779]

@@mmpersonalstyling that makes sense. And you are the best stylist on KZbin! I’ve learned more about style from you than anyone!

[@sueeaston4024]

Thank you, really useful advice. I have a pair of animal print loafers but am struggling to work out what trousers to wear them with. Any advice?

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Blue, black or cream jeans or trousers

[@analissalowe8469]

As a Chinese woman, I would love if you chose a model similar to me. Ideally a fair skin woman, as opposed to someone like Michelle Yeoh whose skin color is slightly tan. Think about the korean singers that are currently super popular. I mention this because I have tried some beige, cream tops but feel like they completely wash me out. I was trying out your monochromatic neutral suggestions. Really appreciate it. Thank you!!

[@spfisterer3651]

Same for me. Anything beige or cream makes me look totally washed out. I usually stick to pure white.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I’m happy to dress anyone from any background, any height, any size but unfortunately I live in a relatively remote area of the countryside with zero diversity and I’ve put adverts out for models of all different shapes and sizes and can only use who applies.

[@jenh9594]

Always interested in your advice but could we please have some guidance for properly tall ladies 5’10” plus?

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Have a look at our body shape masterclass but other than that I’m beholden to the people who volunteer I’m afraid. That said, I’m filming with 8 different sized women ranging from a uk 6 to uk 22 and 5ft to 6 ft when I’m back from holiday so hopefully that will help you. We also cover dressing of taller women on our courses.

[@annashiegl]

new subscriber here, saw you on the honest channel. Great ideas Im a 5'1, tops 10, bottom varies from 10 - 12, dresses and shirts always look too big on the body and make me feel awkward, and dont get me started on my wide size 4 feet 😢

[@mmpersonalstyling]

You’re not too dissimilar from myself, I have a uk size 4 wide foot, I’m 5ft 3 (and a bit) so copy the styling principles that you see me wearing and the same format should work on yourself (adjust obviously for your lifestyle).

[@annashiegl]

I do understand what you’re saying but the reason we show them is that they’re one of the most brought items from my site meaning that my customers are happy to pay their prices. I get more people buying from places like Monica vinader, Lilysilk and Me&Em than I do H&M, mango and Amazon. So I try and mix it up so the channel satisfies everyone.
