Can we just appreciate that she‘s uploading every single day? Love the tips, especially the wool leather combo. Has some edge but is still wearable in the office and can easily transition to evening, if I‘m wearing a lace top underneath

[@claireunderwood471]

Totally agree - Lydia is on it right now. And in the nicest jumper I’ve ever seen 😊

[@MyOpinion4MySelf]

Indeed, I am so grateful for your effort in uploading videos so frequently. You keep the momentum going and keep me inspired on a daily basis. I can’t see any other KZbinr doing that. I bless your channel with overwhelming Growth and Success . Thank you Lydia. ❤😊

[@hc7092]

Time stamps for people in a rush: 00:23 - intro 01:41 - 1st knit (oversized roll-neck chunky jumper) 05:15 - 2nd knit (fine knit roll-neck) 08:06 - 3rd knit (low-neck, long-sleeved knit) 09:54 - 4th knit (round-neck loose knit) 11:50 - 5th knit (cropped, big-sleeved knit) … Such a great video and great timing with autumn. I would recommend watching the whole video if you can! Thanks Lydia as always xx

Thank you so much for introducing me the concept of "balance" between different styles and volumes 🥰 I refreshed my style without buying new clothes!! Love from Italy 💕

[@Lucifers_waifu640]

Pleeeeeaase show us the best jumpers for all kinds of skirts! I always have trouble pairing things with my midi skirts... I love your content! I've learned so much about balance and I feel I'm really discovering how to implement your tips in my own wardrobe and feel good about my outfits!!

Great idea! I hope she does it.

[@treatstreats7149]

I agree

[@ginac4153]

Lydia, I have to say that you have the most informative and helpful style information on KZbin. I pass on this KZbin channel to women who ask about my clothing. You have influenced me to dress more elegant and classic the past year. Keep up the amazing work. Love from New Zealand!

Lovely video Lydia. I love the way you present and explain concepts:it's so useful!!! Many thanks for all the knowledge you manage so well to share with us

[@geetikasharma158]

I had been waiting for this one! I live in warmer parts of India, where winters are not that cold and we don't really need overcoats and layering. Most winters I wear jumpers and blazers and that's it. I have made some decent purchases last year after learning from you, classic pieces that have got me covered for this winter too. Thank you Lydia❤

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

That’s so cool, yeah we also have fairly warm winters so I love paper knits

[@kelliremo139]

You explain and demonstrate these concepts so effectively! Thanks Lydia

[@xxSweetsasxx]

[@ghosts231]

That puff sleeve sweater is so pretty. Thanks again for so much information and style.

[@epbluestar3732]

Love this video. Perfect timing. I am realizing the silhouette of the trousers not only has to do with the legs but also the fit ie the more fitted leather pants compared to a pleated pair of slacks. I would love a video that goes more into this point. Thank you so much. You always have such great content.

[@emiliawelsh6560]

This was so so helpful! Thank you, Lydia 🧡 also loving how much content you’re uploading. Keep it coming! I would love to know how you decide to style your hair and make up to complement your outfits xx

Your makeup looks flawless and stunning in this video!! Love it when you go for the fresh face look!!

[@beverleyannexoxo]

Loved this video Lydia! I’m the skinny jeans and ballet flats girl 😂 No more though! This is great advice and now I understand where I’m going wrong. Congratulations on 600k too!! 🎉❤

[@madisontran3020]

Me too! It’s gonna be hard to let go of skinny jeans and ballet flats 😊

[@KarinaSwan]

Why not? You shouldn't forget it, fitted trousers and elongated "thin" line in shape of clothes is in now and ballet flats are classics, but you can switch to loafers

[@naya4607]

You dont have to change

[@nikkikirn98]

Loving your tips! You work so hard and I just want to say thank you!! Congratulations for hitting 600K so well deserved!! 🎉🥂❤️ xx

[@natellagharibyan1260]

Thank you so much, Lydia, for being so comprehensive and sharing so many tips in styling. My wardrobe has started to slowly changing and getting besser due to your advises. Could I ask you to do a comprehensive overview of your wardrobe pieces? Like trousers, shirts, knitwear etc. I'd really appreciate such a series of videos. Thank you!

[@ArianaChomitz]

1) I can't believe the PACE that you're putting out videos lately!! Thank you so much but also take care not to burn out!! 2.) I, too, am still traumatized by the short/tight/too much outfits of high school/college days - so happy in my straight leg/relaxed fits now. 3.) Could you do a bit on grey trousers? I found some amazing light grey ones I impulse bought but it's outside of my capsule colors (warmer neutrals + black) and I'm struggling.

[@LydiaJaneTomlinson]

Aw thank you so much for noticing my increased content! Trying to do 3 videos a week where possible but definitely won’t be that many every single week! Hahah yes I have flash backs of tight dresses and huge heels - not a good look 🤣🤣! Noted on the grey trousers!! Xxx

[@Monika-kc8vv]

Great video and refresher of the importance of balance. I was in Manchester the other day, kept an eye out for you….got some lovely pieces from COS. Keep on going with your great videos…excellent ❣️👏

[@lizzkabat778]

Excellent Episode….I could watch on repeat throughout the season. Thank you!

[@lynnebarren2410]

Really helpful tips Lydia in these type videos. Helped clarify difficulties I've had in making outfits work at times - I can see when they are wrong so your descriptions are most useful in making quicker selections rather than on/off try-ons till I get it working right. Thankyou and more please..Actually I'm in far Southern hemisphere so would love some tips with more Summery (is that a word?) styling......

[@Mina_Susnjevic]

Thank you Lydia, very inspirational video as always. Love all the pieces, but that grey sweater is my fave 😍

[@AlissaMarie526]

Such a great video. You have helped me so much in putting outfits together since I found you 😊

[@jacquelineinostroza9636]

So well done and useful ! There is a lot of work behind those fashion lessons, bravo ! Would like one about winter dresses, I need to modernise myself without bying too much.

Merci pour toutes ces idées, toujours élégantes et stylée. J’adore vos conseils ❤

Hye lydia love your content. Can you make a dedicated video how to style those skinny jeans as we already own it and discarding them is not an option. Love ❤

You are a style inspiration. I am petite (5’3”h and it is challenging to find looser fit clothing that is scaled for my height without swallowing me

[@katiebarquet8783]

You are literally my favorite person. I love everything you put together. You are so classy and beautiful 😻.

[@carolschleicher970]

Great looks! I will be wearing a lot of the jumper #2 look.

[@ditsaa]

such an important point to balance things out with knitwear... especially thinking about footwear in that way. thanks for sharing love!

[@kylechavarria7474]

finally! ive been searching for a cool girl haul for fall and every other influencer is so basic and not stylish. You actually have style and talent. thank you for the tips.

[@motEngvity]

Oh, what a useful podcast for Russian autumns and winters!!! ❤

[@derpcapades6878]

I think that sweetheart knit would work really well with tight as long as it had a tough edge like a leather pencil skirt. So the way I see it is that the items can be both the same (tight) and the balance comes in by way of the style (cute soft knit with sweatheart neckline against the more tough leather) and you also have the balance in opposites of the textures of the fabric too.

[@enlightenedmel8210]

it makes so much sense! As soon as I'm better I'm going to shop my closet with your tips :) 600k, yay!!!

Look with long leather skirt is amazing 💯💯💯

[@shomap8747]

I absolutely adore you Lydia :), and your hairdo, I hope I look as smashing as you when I do my hair in a bun, I’m a bit more that 5’4 and hourglass so very sceptic of wearing oversized sweater and flats 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@annab3952]

Always helpful videos, but I would love a video on a mix and match ‘capsule’ wardrobe - ie staple pieces which go well together in a variety of outfits. I know you’ve done the autumn staples video (and appreciate you probably have an extensive wardrobe), but I’m trying to be more minimal nowadays and have fewer classic pieces which all work together, but are still stylish.

[@naya4607]

Crazy, I love top-heavy looks!

Lydia, you probably get this a lot, but it will help to know how tall you are, so we can have an idea on what to expect, when it comes to fitting in the different styles. Thanks! Love your vids, so helpful.

[@vanessammiller3436]

Are jumpers the same thing as "sweaters" here in America? Or are jumpers a specific kind of sweater? I love your channel tips because I watch style shows and then put things together all wrong, so now I'm figuring out how to put things on. But I mean, I just put my coat on for work, then take it off, so not too worried about which coat goes with what and how, but all the other tips are wonderful! I have always been scared to death of skirts cause they've never looked good on me. I think I may actually try some now thanks to your helpful tips.

Could you show what to wear with black silky slightly straight trousers? I'm guessing a tighter top would work with this!

[@Mkr7942]

Hi Lydia! I feel I don't have the luxury of styling things as I would want to, because of a very curvy hourglass shape. Wide jeans/ trousers announce my wide hips from a mile ahead:) and oversized jackets/ jumpers make me just look big. That really limits my options.

[@jillymet]

Yes it’s easier to style when you’re not as curvy I agree. Would be interesting to see a take on the trends in respect of a curvier figure.

[@geetikasharma158]

Same here, not everyone can rock oversized looks.

[@edennis8578]

It could be that you don't understand because she's all over the place. For example, that first oversized sweater with the baggy jeans that she recommended was just awful. It made her look fat and sloppy; imagine what it would look like on someone who isn't as thin as she is. Then she got to the dark oversized sweater and she said that the wide-leg trousers made the look too masculine! What? Bloody hell.

Im asking this question in many comments boxes these days, in the hope that at least one content creator will respond… Do you actually go outside wearing trousers that are so long that they drag on the floor? So many people are posing in loooong trousers online, but surely they’re unwearable outside?

Get them tailored
