I always appreciate your reminder that you need to consider fabrication and overall design when considering the practicality and versatility of a piece.

[@asunbeam5479]

The purpose of those sleeveless sweaters is actually for wearing under blazers for work! wearing a full sweater under a blazer can be too bulky and too hot especially once you're inside with heating

[@LCJ-di7zo]

I won’t buy anything made with acrylic. It’s a very cheap fabric. It will not hold up and tends to pill a lot. Unfortunately, a lot of sweaters these days are made with acrylic.

[@karenthomas4575]

I'm the same. No acrylic or nylon. Horrible materials that make me sweat and itch

[@lbeard7661]

I bought two sweaters from Everlane that I didn’t realize had bell sleeves. 😅 You’re right - it’s not fun to cram them in there.

[@maryam.m]

Aww, I love my Everlane sweaters with bell sleeves because they are so soft and flattering on me. Granted, it never really gets cold enough where I live to require layering a jacket on top 😅

[@TheSolipsist0]

This is why I sew and knit my clothes. Love it! There is only so much anyone can knit/sew so it made me really consider what I want so spend my time with.

[@lindsey_j]

I was looking at a sleeveless wool/cashmere turtleneck on Depop that I thought could work over some long sleeve shirts, but you helped me really consider the versatility of the piece. Especially since it's just something I saw and thought looked nice, not something I need. Thank you for your time and effort to make such helpful and inspiring videos! Also I am loving your hair these days!!

[@tehyas4622]

I'm someone who gets hot and loves wearing cardigans. I love these kind of sleeveless turtlenecks because I can mix and match with all of my cardigans without getting overly warm but still feeling stylish.

[@janesievierina4031]

Many times I disagree with your take, tho I appreciate a different perspective on a fashion topic, but this video is a 100% hit for me. It is my true favourite ❤

[@jumplc]

Perfect timing, now I don’t have to waste my money on clothes I don’t need :)

[@Sasha-mb3rv]

So true about the ribbing on sleeves and collar/bottom ! I don't buy any top that isn't ribbed anymore, otherwise it loses it's shape way too quick

[@DesireeGonza]

Plastic re branded as vegan is crazy.

[@sheilakosoff5806]

This is so important! I do wind up donating items that were almost. I am not doing that anymore and I see a difference in the way I feel when I get dressed. Thanks for a thoughtful video.

[@mariannelarsen7762]

WOW, that black dress at the end looks so amazing on you Helen 🥰🤩❤️Talking about perfection 👏👏

[@obbrooklyn]

I've watched thousands of these types of videos, and I love yours!! Flows very well, loved all your tips, some I've never heard before! Thank you for your knowledge and cozy video :)

[@hannahippo]

I have a Naadam cashmere hoodie with bell sleeves that I ADORE but it's a pain to have to roll up the sleeves carefully for when I wash my hands or the dishes. Since there isn't a defined hem I can't just scrunch the sleeves up my arm. I finally took it to a tailor to shorten the sleeves and it's much easier to wear now. Also I can't believe Jcrew would charge that much for a sweater with no pretty detailing!

[@danabarrington2427]

I would loooove to hear more about your knitting - I knit as well (complete amateur) and I love seeing what others create!

[@nancyj621]

Wow, you make so many good points! Paying attention to these issues will help build a better wardrobe.

[@christinecho779]

I find wool so itchy that I tend to wear cotton more! I also knit and crochet my own cotton cowls and scarves

[@mountain85]

Such a subtle and classic style 😍 I agree with fake or thinly plated jewelry. They wear out and the scratches on the surface do not look good. I go for pure gold or silver , always. Also agree with the shoe thing.

[@iriskramer9218]

Totally agree with you on gold plated jewelry. It won't last. I only wear solid gold or silver pieces. They last a life time. Some of my gold necklaces have been with me for almost 30 years now.

[@mizzle8]

That Doen dress is gorgeous on you! And I know these concepts but it’s still hard to put them into practice 😅 especially if I love everything about a piece EXCEPT one detail, it’s sooo hard to make myself let it go

[@madaffi2434]

My Japanese office blasts AC in summer and heating in winter. My European heart hurts when I can't wear wool sweaters. Basically the office is warmer in winter than in summer. Make that make sense.

[@sherrydance144]

These were excellent comments!

[@JessicaMorgani]

The light jackets you talked about have their use in Brazilian weather where it's about the same amount of hot the entire year

[@alomaalber6514]

I love the 1950's style acrylic knit wear, wool is a no for me! Cotton is great too!

[@sopranosadiyah]

Such fantastic advice to incorporate into styling! Also, what’s that nail color you’re wearing? It’s absolutely stunning!

[@salmab9118]

Where is that belted green jumper from ? I love it !

[@ninaschaumann8096]

I'm wondering the same

[@angelagonzalez8181]

Yes where is the green sweater from with the drawstring

[@nicolehyc]

Also wondering about this!

[@tracypatil8841]

You always hit the nail on the head ☺️ considered purchases, knowing what suits you, consider your lifestyle. I think you mentioned a raincoat at the beginning. I can recommend a french brand called Aigle. I use it all year round (it's not a trench) In the UK we need this. Plenty of room for layering size up. Great if you are petite. Has a removable button up hood for rain and wind, big pockets. It's the one I use year round, mine is in a neutral colour. Useful for travel.Not an advert 😊. Thanks Helen loved your vlog😘

[@emilybaxter]

I really like a boatneck, it suits my narrow shoulders, however I will buy a quality fitted piece, like you say, bulky with a big sleeve doesn't work on me either. I have found that they keep their shape just fine. I am noticing more feminine details on tops now, I do like them and I can recognise a delicate piece over a trendy piece. If it reminds of the 80s or 90s then I pass haha. Thanks so much for the boots/sole tip, I learned a lot there.

[@cindynorris5983]

Completely agree with the sleeves or short sleeve sweaters. I will even add 3/4 sleeves. I don’t want to wear them when it’s cold and I don’t want to wear them when it is warm. Also tops with any beading or bedazzling. Just a hard no for me.

[@tdean5840]

I’ve never heard the tip about the boots and the sole. Thank you!

[@SusannePottinger]

Have exactly the same khaki coat which I love lol. Mine is plenty big enough for a cable sweater underneath or a blazer, definitely necessary here in winter. It's a shame because it looks great on you

[@avlsoc]

Hi, I'm considering the Clyde in Khaki. What size did you get? Was it true to size? I am thinking to wait until I can try it on, if I get to a store in future. I'm a UK 10 on top now after being a UK 8, so I'm a little bit in between but still think the XS would be better for me as I don't wear chunky knits. It's all about the cut of things.

[@raindropdrops]

Would it be possible to do a video about trench coats? You've owned a few over the years, and I'm looking to buy one for the fall! I feel like you'd have incredible insight on how to pick a great one out. (the shoulders tip you gave here is helpful!)

[@pamelaadl9559]

Ty for helping me consider some other aspects of the Clyde and that sweater tshirt from & other stories. I watched a few influencers talk about these and noone helped me make up my mind like you did. Looking forward to hearing your fav alternative coats in the future

[@PuJaMaGar-f5f]

Your style is mind style same❤❤🎉love every videos and please make easy comfortable home stay looks plz🙏🏻

[@eunsihae]

Can’t wear wool, allergic. No other choice but to buy acrylic or cotton.

[@Jtruo834]

Hi Helen, I love your content and approachable practical take on styling outfits. I've had my eye on the tiny pearl necklace from mejuri. But is there much difference between the micro pearl and tiny pearl necklace, and do you recommend one over the other? Thanks so much ❤️

[@chantastique]

Those cowboy boots are straight fire

[@moiraberniegatt9491]

I’m sorry to say I find heattech base layers hold armpit oils and smell after a day where an organic cotton top or merino one can go a long time without smelling.

[@kathryn2334]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@marianapereirae]

Always right on, Helen. I also came to the same conclusions about the Clyde trench, I have an hourglass frame, and it just didn't work for me, and apart from the dark green color is very "fall," Sezane trenches have a major flaw for me because they don't come with a removable hood. For me, the function of a trench is to protect you enough for the transitional periods that usually come along with seasonal rain. Living in the Netherlands, where it's rainy most of the time, it's not functional or versatile enough to justify the purchase.

[@behuman5725]

Excellent fashion advice thank you 😊

[@xrubyxlightx]

Lol choosing the right size for the Clyde trench seems to be different for every body and their layering preference

[@emilyy4364]

What % of acrylic would you "accept" in a non-technical piece of clothing (e.g. if its under 2%)? And what % of other synthetic fibers would you accept in clothing?

[@FutureBillionaire1111]

If you MUST buy a sweater with Acrylic, try to go for less than 10%. Anything more and you'll have to throw it out after 3 washes.

[@honor_martin]

I personally wouldn’t accept any in knitwear. It’s truly not necessary in most cases. (although I’ve heard mohair sometimes requires it to keep the hairs together?) I personally only allow small amounts of elastane. Less than 10% in cotton tee shirts, 2% in jeans. That’s just my rule, something else might work for you! If you’re looking for cost effective composition, a lot of places will have 95% cotton/5% cashmere sweaters that aren’t craaazy expensive.

[@mariasophiafranco9747]

Omg the Howl's coat from Loewe, but tone down what I hate

[@theresabergman7062]

I knit also.

[@MSmith-qg1oh]

Where did you get the burgundy Mary Janes?

[@grundolf]

Thank you for calling out "vegan leather" as just plastic, it drives me crazy.

[@meehoww]

I see so many influencers who flaunt their Cartier and Tiffany jewelry but once they get a sponsorship from a lower end brand they’re all like yes they’re better and we should buy these plated jewelry too. However I do like Mejuri and have severe pieces from them that are solid gold only.

[@cutiecutiecutiepie]

Wait did i miss the sporty and rich sweatshirt part? I was looking forward to seeing you talk about that bc i was thinking of buying something from that brand 😭

[@tulipsandpeaches1834]

8:25 where is the black cardigan from? :)

[@ellensoh3801]

Hi Helen, will you suggest good pieces to invest in for the transition weather, was checking out clyde trench but would love some suggestions. Agreed too, its such a short period of time to enjoy and you want to make the most out of it

[@anachitimus1292]

I bought the trench and I sized up. Fits nice open over my knits. I live in Ireland and I have about 9 months a year where I need something like that. I even wear it with skirts and shorts and ballet flats in the summer. So it might not be good for warm countries but I love it.

[@sixtyspink]

Short-sleeved or sleeveless knits are my downfall. I love them. And they get such limited use.

[@frederikavanhout4609]

Love them too, if it gets cold you can wear a cardigan over it.

[@cirrusm.2829]

I see nobody mentioning it can be worn over a longsleeve as a vest. Is that considered out of style?

[@sheilap2621]

i love that Sezane beige sweater and especially the raglan sleeves as I can't do dropped shoulder very well. On the website it says its cropped but do you think with a mid waist jean or pant it would show your tummy, especially in a bigger size like L?

[@janelis7]

8:51 where is that shirt from? I love it.

[@JehanineMelmoth]

As a vegan I don’t buy wool, leather, silk, suede or fur. But I don’t buy acrylic or polyester either. I buy faux leather shoes - it’s great being able to wash them under the tap! But most of my clothes are fine vintage cotton. Lawn cotton and lisle were very much like silk. I try to buy everything secondhand for ethical reasons, but I get organic cotton undies at Pact. I’m saying all these because it would be nice if you remembered that some of us don’t want those ‘natural’ fibres that cause suffering and death.

[@meg7578]

Sleeveless sweaters, especially mock neck are so confusing to me. How do you layer these?

[@FutureBillionaire1111]

With cardigans, blazers, jean jackets, large ponchos or blanket scarves.

[@frederikavanhout4609]

@@FutureBillionaire1111 love it!
