IS 'LUCY & YAK' SIZE 14 FRIENDLY? SUSTAINABLE/ETHICAL TRY ON | LUCY WOOD

[@user-vv7nm4le4l]

The rainbow trousers actually suits you with that white top, I love it and it's not even my usual style.

[@kaylietrembath]

Yeah, they look pretty good on her & I thought they would look atrocious. What is really confusing is isn't 32 a size 10? Has she lost weight? Or are the sizes from this company off even though she said they are good? She did say she usually buys the 10s though. She fit into size 10s & 12s which seems strange for a 14. Clothing sizes are a bit silly these days though.

[@kaylietrembath]

Most of the items in larger sizes fit much better & the black version of the pants looked much better even though she didn't seem to like them. May be she was just wearing clothes that were too small but she fit into & she likes her clothes tight? Not sure.

[@paigelouisecarrington4883]

@@kaylietrembath 32 is a UK 14

[@kaylietrembath]

Strange because I thought that was the one sizing type that is supposed to be right & It's a 10 in Australia.

[@hannahcourtney2252]

Please do one with the brand Monki!

[@amandamakesstuff1383]

Hannah Courtney Yes!! I love monki

[@angharad879]

Yessss Monki is my fave

[@vickiXP]

Monki is owned by H&M and is really not a brand that should be supported if you value ethical fashion, as sad as it is because they really do have some cute stuff 😔

[@nirimi]

@@vickiXP I didn't know that... what a shame as from the outside they don't seem like a 'typical' fast fashion retailer

[@jeyyran]

yeah they market themselves as more alternative, so I was quite disappointed when I found out they belong to H&M :(

[@joybecker5402]

Woooo love an ethical clothing vid! Makes such a huge difference for people with audiences to say something useful and lead by example 🌈 thanks bbz!

[@PolishedMissy]

I LOVE those rainbow trousers .. I think they look really cute on you!!!

[@TheDodgerReid]

Love that you're doing more ethical clothing! One question that I've wondered with these videos; how much of the clothing do you usually keep and how much is sent back?

[@AiApoptoxin4869]

Me too! I think it would be an interesting piece of context in haul videos, putting them a bit more in proportion

[@annaw9687]

AiApoptoxin4869 Agree! Part of the problem with fashion hauls is normalising the idea of buying so much new stuff all the time, it would be good to know how much gets sent back

[@megwhite6295]

this is actually a great question as I recently found out that most fast fashion websites will just throw out returns all together rather than reselling them as its cheaper than paying someone to repackage them.. such a disgusting waste!

[@annaw9687]

Meg White Also the environmental impact of the delivery both ways and repackaging (if they don’t just throw the whole thing away)

[@VelvetVolcano]

I actually thought the Jennifer Coolidge impression was pretty good ^_^

[@dinkydreamer]

Jennifer Coolidge in 'A Cinderella Story' is just everything! "OH NO MY FACE IS BACK" 🤣🤣

[@mollyriordan8623]

Love this sustainable/ethical direction. Had a look on the website and I now have my eye on some pink dungarees!

[@emilyfrey589]

I love that you’re doing ethical brands and not just playing into fast fashion trends like other youtubers. It makes you so genuine. Thanks for being you and the amazing content 🥰

[@Everdinaaa]

Your hair actually looks really good in this video!! Love it xx

[@milly6858]

fat face and seasalt are great! would love to see a size 14 does charity shop series !!

[@Gandellion]

The rainbow trousers look COOOOL

[@PaigelyVlogs]

I’m so glad you covered this brand and are talking about sustainability & fast fashion! I wanted a pair of their dungarees but was unsure on sizing until your video 😁

[@coastlineandpines2346]

Lucy you give us 14-18 plus size girls a new hope in life! Been incredibly down about my new size (thanks to medication etc) as always struggle with clothing and trying to look feminine. You make fashion fun again. Thank you 🥰 xxx

[@ashleatrueman8752]

Lucy I can't praise you enough for promoting a company like this. I'm so impressed with their ethics!

[@charleycoleman]

“Clothing the world of art students” 😂😂😂 literally though I go to an arts uni and Lucy and Yak are everywhere 😂

[@bugshelves]

The rainbow trousers look lovely on you! 💞

[@halbaer7871]

I've wanted a pair of Lucy & Yaks for a long time, seeing you being between sizes I'm now more obliged to go up a size rather than down so it's good to see!

[@abigailwhitehouse3784]

We know our kid loves a brand when she spends half the vid doing impressions and singing 😂😂 xx

[@megthomas3043]

I love the rainbow trousers on you! Love the ethical clothing video! So good to try these brands out for midsize ladies 👌😁

[@AlyssaJaynex]

That last pink dress is absolutely gorgeous, the colour looks amazing on you 😍

[@ghosthonnie2831]

Lucy... Those rainbow pants are TO DIE FOR. & You absolutely rocked them!

[@erinv.4284]

Please make this the start of a sustainable/ethical series! Test if you can find good stuff for mid-sizes on ThredUp, is Reformation or Everlane size 14 friendly (not wallet friendly though oops), shop the ASOS Responsible Edit.....I love your channel already but seeing KZbinrs who do fashion-related content make an effort to move towards more sustainable practices makes me SO happy.

[@rickki]

Thank you thank you thank you!! I've been drooling over Lucy & Yak for a while. I haven't given them a go because I think based on the measurements my belly needs just a size larger than what they currently offer and I wasn't sure how they would fit because I don't really wear high waisted things. But now I think I'll look great and will have to fork over all my money as soon as there sizing expands.

[@destaniwatson2685]

I think it would be cool if you did a thrifting haul or how to incorporate thrifted items into your wardrobe

[@LinneaSmash]

Okay but you look so cute in that pink cord dress that I immediately went to their site and slammed the Notify Me button for the next restock.

[@dinkydreamer]

Hay lucy, i have been a subscriber and a fan for a long time but just never comment on here (trying to make a change and spread positive energy), and i just wanted to tell you that you are fabulous and im 100% convinced that you are actually my spirit animal. Thank you for proving to me that im not the only quirky individual out there, that in fact quoting films, doing impressions and singing songs at awkward moments isnt just something that i do. As a fellow average weirdo I SALUTE YOU ... and all who sail in you ... oh no that got weird ... LOVE YOU BYE!! 💛💛💛💛

[@eherbert33]

I LOVE the rainbow trousers on you!!

[@EmmaBlyth7]

‘I think we’ve ridded ourselves of the sausage. Am I right ladies?’ made me laugh a LOT 😂

[@redrose8264]

Totally agree about their tees! They're so soft! i have the same pants just the blue and white stripe and they're so funky and flattering!

[@MahsaHammatBahary]

I am so here for more ethical/ sustainable fashion! Please share more of the sustainable brands you come across!

[@pAsDeNoMzUt]

The black trousers look so smart and the pinkish pinny dress is so cute - Both really suited you I thaught :) I have 2 of their short legged dungarees and love em for summer.

[@fisheyecam]

I would love seeing you try the clothing brand Fatface (yes, that’s the actual name 😅) Also, I need all my clothes to be that gorgeous dusty pink colour now 😍

[@caitlinsmith6975]

fisheyecam I was just thinking that this morning 😂

[@Gg-sw3nv]

Are they an ethical brand? I thought they were just bog-standard high street?

[@fisheyecam]

Grace J hmmm... 🤔 I don’t think that they advertise themselves as an ethical brand, but one of their key values is sustainability and everything that goes with it

[@caitlinsmith6975]

Watching this as I throw away two years of gcse notes and exercise books, thank you for the entertainment

[@frankie5698]

me too sis

[@moonymilquetoast]

thanks so much for highlighting a sustainable brand with good ethics (I had never heard of them) also this is one of the goofiest, loveliest try on hauls I have ever watched, I am in such a good mood now!

[@noctua_ursa]

Sustainable ethical clothing for the mid size gal, always making me laugh with your antics, loving the content Lucy! And thanks for bringing being more sustainable to the table for more people to get involved and join the conversation.

[@Hannah14xo]

Wowowow those black jeans look amazing!!! I've been looking for my perfect jeans for years and they look like contenders!

[@KatLozano]

Totally feeling the art student with half finished canvases. I LOVE IT. Super cute. :)

[@MultiCirkeline]

The app Goodonyou makes it so easy to find sustainable brands! Simple to use, incredibly thorough and breaks down everything so it's easy to understand. Rates depending on environment, labour and animal abuse!

[@hollyvanvloten3296]

Thank you so much for doing a sustainable brand video! 🙌🏻 With the state of our planet supporting and living eco friendly lifestyles is more important than ever 🌍 I adore Lucy and Yak and it was super lovely to see a variety of their pieces on you! Another brand you could check out for sustainable clothing is Thought clothing, and also People Tree! ☺️💕

[@dopehat868]

I really really appreciate your thoughts and consideration of ethical fashion. There’s not nearly enough of that on here!!!

[@laurenbratland7620]

You were already my favorite youtuber but busting out into Technicolor Dreamcoat lyrics just made you even more my favorite. I absolutely adore you. Also, those beige dungarees are so cute!!!

[@Snugglecher]

I'm loving the beige dungarees. Usually beige/khaki pants are questionable but those look wonderful!

[@StAshleigh]

Ahhh, thank you for this video! I'm a size 14 too, and I've held off buying from them because getting sizing right online is a ball ache. This was exactly what I needed to see...but also not, because I'm probably about to spent a stupid amount on those trousers!

[@samchamberlain3091]

I genuinely clapped when you walked out in them rainbow trousers! 👏

[@ashleyarnold2930]

LOVE the rainbow trousers.

[@jmk1962]

No views, 6 likes and one comment? Catch up KZbin. "I close my eyes", spat out my coffee at that one. Was thinking deckchairs myself LOL Laughed my way through this with your witty comments. Never heard of Lucy and Yak, (thought it was about hair extensions) but great to see a sustainable company making comfy ethical clothes. I'm too old for them but my vegan daughter will like them. Thanks.

[@Annalovesautumn]

Who's to say? Maybe sneak a try-on if she buys something, be pleasantly surprised.

[@MegaCloudygirl]

I love the rainbow jeans on you

[@TheMissoverthetop]

yes! I love this idea of introducing your audience to more sustainable/ethical fashion brands! theres been a trend recently of buying things off Wish and other similar "so cheap its too good to be true" sites that are unethical and poorly made. We need to be aware of how much fast fashion we are consuming (im still guilty of this sometimes tbh but im trying to be better). Awesome concept and an awesome video Lucy!

[@rachelhemphill3758]

Lucy&Yak YAY my fav!! Those Addison rainbow trousers are beeeeaaaauuuutttiful wow

[@TheSophiezation]

This is a cool idea, I wish you'd also make a vintage/second hand haul video or something!

[@Purplelemon5033]

Love the rainbow trousers they are very children’s tv presenter but there cheerful and the jazzy pattern makes them very slimming on you

[@bettyltd4570]

Living for all the ‘Joseph’ references 🤣🙌 🌈

[@GeorgiePiip]

Oh my gosh! My fave clothing brand and my fave KZbinr! Smashing out another fab and informative video Lucy ☀️

[@OdaBieber]

I LOVE THOSE RAINBOW JEANS

[@jess_addi]

Actually loved the rainbow stripe trousers 😍🌈

[@Gg-sw3nv]

Love this video Lucy, it’s so important for us to think about sustainability with our clothing choices - I would absolutely LOVE to see a video by you on Reformation - they have an ‘extended sizes’ range I’d love to try out but having never seen them on instagram or anything I don’t know how they’d suit my body type which is similar to yours. Would love your thoughts!

[@beckyb2424]

So glad you're doing lucy and yak, they're just so comfy!

[@LottieHolmesMusic]

Literally laughing out loud, you are brilliant Lucy! Adore Lucy and Yak so this video was great to see their other items!

[@elainebye9090]

Well, you have several lovely keepers there. The ones yoh don't feel ad comfortable is aren't a big loss. I do like watching this type of video. It was a great choice to start endorsing more sustainable fashion.

[@SElisabeth17]

Yay! A sustainable brand. Hope you do more!

[@mikaela195]

So happy to see you featuring ethical clothing and concious consumerism

[@Intothesunset89]

The rainbow outfit was impeccable

[@bethanthomas2780]

So grateful you’ve done this video. Not exactly your target audience but there’s a mum page on Facebook and everyone raves about Lucy &yaks. Unfortunately I fall just outside of their size bracket. Fingers crossed they’ll make bigger sizes soon

[@jlgould13]

Love this video! I’ve never really looked into the Lucy and Yak collections because I just assumed that it was only dungarees but now I’ll have to have a little explore! I’m going to sit and do it while I watch Princess Diaries for the first time in LITERAL YEARS! So thanks Lucy 😂 P.S. You nailed that Jennifer Coolidge impression!

[@Ladygagasteaparty]

This video popped up on my suggested videos and I'm so glad I watched it you made me laugh so much. Glad i'm not the only person who did a Joseph and his Technicolour dreamcoat musical in school. Also yes the mom from Princess Dairies is an icon

[@AA-hy6nb]

Like your summer hairstyle!

[@rosarhiannonmiles-seeley1146]

Yaaas - thanks so much for trying out a sustainable brand- I have been really wanting to make more sustainable choices myself- and it can be hard to find body positive peeps who also care about sustainability! Could you do a video on sustainable jeans?

[@nyargis]

Thank you so much for this - I pretty much exclusively shop ethical/sustainable brands these days so it’s really good to scope out how they might fit mid-sizes first 🙏

[@radiateradicalvibes2009]

The rainbow Jean's look AMAZING on you

[@TheStitchEdit]

I actually really love the last dungaree dress on you! The colour is gorge

[@TheStitchEdit]

Ooh and in the way of sus clothing recommendations Franks Ldn are a new brand that only uses sustainable deadstock fabrics and are handmade in London (I believe) so def worth checking out

[@sarahclouston5991]

The rainbow pans looked incredible! Also, if they ship to the UK, you should try Everlane, another sustainable brand:)

[@hanzib31]

They do ship to the UK.... But word of warning for anyone who sees this and tries: expensive shipping. Bloody expensive. 😂 And returns aren't the easiest either. But they do sometimes have reduced shipping sales! 😊

[@fitzyfitz95]

Everlane's substainablity is discutable tho, you can check goodonyou they have an article on the matter

[@kirjahyllystani]

I absolutely love Lucy&Yak!! Denim Atlas dungarees are my fav clothing item atm ☺️

[@Sophie_310]

The first blue jumpsuit is giving me major Bo Peep, Toy Story 4 vibes!! Just me? 😂 But it suits you loads! And I love the colour of the pink dress 😍😍

[@NKanbar]

Your hair looks so good!

[@sarahurry964]

I am so happy you did this Lucy and yak are one of my fave companies I have tons of their stuff, so I know it's size 14 friendly but I still can't wait to see your verdict!

[@ZOMGitsELLIE]

I just got a pair of jeans from these guys last week and I loooooove them, so comfortable but flattering. In fact it's those exact black jeans you've tried on 😍

[@sarahbrown3628]

I've heard that Noticed clothing line is supposed to be a sustainable brand. They have collabed with a bunch of KZbinrs to design their clothes, and just started releasing them this summer. Not sure about their size varieties yet, but might want to check them out. I also now want to buy everything that you've tried on. You looked super cute in all of them. 😀

[@orlafennelly7112]

Absolutely love the little dress at the end x soooo fab on u girl! So proud u are promoting a more sustainable way to look fashionable!

[@joanneednie5873]

There's a fab app called Good On You that rates brands ethically (- based on labour practises, environment and animal welfare) if that's helpful to anyone wanting to look into ethical fashion more! Love that you've put a spotlight on ethical fashion and I'd LOVE to see more ethical brand reviews.

[@Orlagh]

I love this rainbow trousers on you! 😍 The dungarees and blush pink dress are so cute!

[@TheTattooedCrafter]

Loved all of the outfits on you, always enjoy watching your clothing hauls Lucy!! P.s I loved that burnt pink dress on you. Such a beautiful colour! Will definitely go check out the dungarees x

[@peacockshat]

I've got some of the original cord dungarees in a large and then also the Atlas denim ones in a large- they are a lot larger but so so comfy and not too big so I'd give the large a try! In terms of other ethical clothing brands, Fat Face and Seasalt are both pretty good- they can also be a bit 'mumsy' but they do have nice pieces as well! There is a great ethical clothing shop called Sanchos in Exeter who also have an online shop- check them out for lots more ethical brands!

[@miss.murphymusic]

I LOVE THE RAINBOW TROUSERS!!

[@charlotte092689]

Ahh ok so many thoughts. Apologies for impending essay comment. Firstly - loved this vid, had never heard of this brand before and was def into it. Next - I really wanted to see a more "completed" outfit with a couple of these. I felt like the rainbow pants were begging for a long line blazer/duster sitch and was curious if a leather jacket with the last dress would maybe have solved your pocket dilemma? Also maybe explore potential shoe options? If you're really feeling energized, even dip into the realm of accessories? I realize this can add significant more time/energy for you, but I think it could really take the helpfulness of these to the next level, ya know? Another sustainable brand I would LOVE to see a midsize take on is Sezane. They're def a step up in the price department, but would bring the French girl chic-ness to another level (possibly many levels). I'm dying to try, yet deeply afraid of disappointment. Be our fearless guide?? Lastly, I would love a year end re-cap of all the clothing you tried and kept from this year. What was a dark horse surprise MVP? What did you think would be an instant classic that didn't live up to expectations? What did you end up reaching for again and again? Sometimes I wonder what your closet looks like, because you try on such varied items - do you feel like you have a great number of diverse things to choose from or is it more of a hindrance that drives you back to your comfort zone? TL;DR - complete the 'fit, try Sezane, sum up 2019 for us love ya and keep it up xx

[@puifaipapichaya3241]

Yeeessss! I'm happy you're choosing more sustainable shopping! So many KZbinrs don't even realize or consider it. So thank you for making this video :) I hope you'll find more sustainable brands with fitting and 'hip' clothes ;) Ps: I really like your videos, you're so much fun to watch. I enjoy your spontaneous references to songs and movies and I love your honesty and sincerity and the message you spread. Keep up the good vibes! Greets from Belgium ^^

[@chelseab115]

Thank you for doing this brand! I've never heard of them but I am now intrigued. I've also been trying to slowly transition to more sustainable clothing, whether it's brands like this or doing more second-hand shopping. :)

[@trudymegeney]

Your videos are so awesome and entertaining thank you so very much I look forward to them and whenever you post I am all over it. I follow a lot of make up artists but I actively seek out your videos because they entertain me so thank you very much. You are very legit and sincere so I feel like I am watching a friend vs another KZbinr

[@magstaylor4]

Love the sustainable focus! Would love to see a thrift/second hand denim haul or something would be cool

[@elephantcaos]

I'm so glad you covered Lucy and yak! They're such a great company and I love the items I've bought from them 👍 you look great in their stuff btw, I'm very jealous of all the outfits you now own 😂

[@Tiarrne]

Lucy & Yak is actually surprisingly affordable in comparison to other sustainable/ethical brands. (You don't usually hear sustainable, ethical and affordable being used in the same sentence.) I recently purchased a dress off Sezane (much more expensive) and accidentally spent $100 more than I anticipated (site was in USD not AUD... whoops haha). Hopefully the brand lives up to the hype.

[@Tiarrne]

ps kombucha taste like vinegar, don't do it.

[@EllieDaisy]

Actually love those rainbow trousers! I would neeeever be able to pull off something like that but you look so cool!

Never heard of this brand before but I will definitely check them out! xxxx

[@jinokho684]

"Wow-wowee-wow-wow-wow-wowee" is a big mood 😂 please do a Reformation haul, would love to see how they fit on size 12/14 gals

[@nikkimajean]

I feel you so much with the self consciousness of the stomach outline, but I have to say, that dusty pink corduroy pinafore dress looked amazing on you! Idk how to say that you really can't see/don't notice the stomach in it without it sounding like I'm giving a backhanded compliment, because I am basically your exact same size and shape (which is why i LOVE your videos!!) - I'm just trying to make you feel better about it because I love how it looks on you! Plus that colour is SO amazing.

[@rowan.27]

This video (with the overalls and trousers especially) made me think of another cool sustainable brand, Big Bud Press! They seem to be really good with sizing too :)

[@katiemac3153]

This is my fave brand of all time I love eveything they have!!!

[@loz_nz]

I've tried on the dungarees in ash pink in shop and really liked them, the colour is gorgeous. Only problem was I'm 5'10 and they were just a bit short in the body. They do a tall range online which is awesome, I'll definitley be looking out to try them when I visit the UK later in the year

[@karencurtis2697]

I'm so excited by this brand but alas I'm a little to big for the sizing . But maybe by next summer I will be there. You found some great items and I love them all . I love the colour of the mini pinafore dress but I would love pockets as well . Please keep smiling and singing your way through life , you sine like a diamond 💎 xx Take care everyone 😉
