DOS & DON'TS OF WIDE-LEG TROUSERS | STYLE RULES (and a little surprise guest!)

[@LoveJulzxx]

I think the term "rules" is a perfectly good explanation for what you're doing. Even if you don't want to follow them, they are important to know.....as my Stylist friends often say "you need to know the rules before you can break them" Love your work Lydia xn

[@AlienSuperstar77]

So true in all aspects of life!

[@thegillmachine]

Yeah rules or guidelines works in my opinion- whichever sounds snappier w the title of the video!

[@khalilahd.]

I’ve been trying to venture into the world of wide leg trousers but I didn’t know how to style them so this is perfect. Also your new puppy is so adorable 🥺💜

[@leeannlowery5064]

I am an old dog (unlike Ollie) trying to learn new tricks so I much appreciate your do’s and dont’s videos. They are easy to follow and understand and the pictures speak a thousand words! You’re the best at that approach! You are always clear these are general rules and guidelines too. I’m new to IG so I haven’t figured out how to get to the product links but those are really good too.

[@johnneladderley2474]

Awww Ottie is just the sweetest little darling☺️. Oh yes, I definitely saw how you transformed the outfit from being wide and chunky to streamlined and sophisticated 👌🏾. Awesome video Lydia, thank you as always for sharing all your great tips. Take care and enjoy the rest of your week 🤗💕.

[@AlienSuperstar77]

I love this! You take an outfit from looking like something a teen would wear to something their older sister or stylish mom could wear. While still keeping someone’s personal style

[@user-yd4yr5hr3s]

Awwwwww your little addition is so adorable happy for you and Tim looking forward to seeing the little guy 🥰

[@dianebright9366]

This may be one of my favorite accessories!! I hope we get to see a lot more of your sweet little pup! I wish you many wonderful years with him.

[@naheedsiddique6206]

Omg Ottie is adorable!!!! Video great as always love wide keg trousers!! So this was super helpful ❤️😘

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

Hi Lydia. This was such a useful video with some great styling advice. I’ve always followed your tips and they have been so useful and have helped me a great deal. I’d love a similar video for styling spring and summer wide leg trousers too when we finally shed our winter coats and boots. Absolutely love your gorgeous new pup-Ottie. He’s adorable and we’d love to see him in future videos! ❤️🥰🐾

[@ariella1357]

Congrats on your new puppy, Lydia, he’s totally precious! 🥰

[@doanetriggs6254]

Style theory is so welcomed with excellent examples that can be applied to almost any wardrobe. We so often seen fashion and one of your true strengths is that you share the rationale for your choices which transcend any age group. Thank you for this elevated approach.

[@KimBedene]

Awww, he’s a cutie! 🥰🥰 Can’t wait to see him more 😍🐶

[@sarahmbh]

I always get excited when I see Dos and Don’ts Videos or clips 👍🏻👍🏻 you are amazing. So much to consider and learn from. Could you do a video about what sort of jackets or coats to wear or style with wide leg trousers or jeans ? That would be great 😍😍😍😍

[@kateleeder7191]

Oh, was there some information on wide leg trousers???? All I saw was the cutest little pup I’ve ever seen!!! Congrats! Hope he shows up in more videos!

[@annieannie]

Nice to meet Ottie! We have a senior piebald mini doxie (16 years old!) and they are such a wonderful breed. They're the best cuddlers and have such big personalities. I think a huge part of keeping them healthy as they get older is to keep their weight in check, and to not let them jump around and do long flights of stairs (which is hard because they're gonna want to). Anyway, enjoy the adorable puppy phase!

[@EmmaJessup]

Hi Lydia, could you please do a masterclass on how/when to tuck in a top? Otti is so cute! Looking forward to more sneak peaks of him in future videos.

[@bellahe9685]

Otti 😍🥺 Thank you for another fab video Lydia 💕✨

[@oneofakindlifestyle]

Omg the baby dachshund 😍🥰🥳✨ I also wanted one but when I saw how tiny they are in real life, and I live in a 3 story house. Oof naw, poor thing will be exhausted by 8am. Love the videos, Im binge watching. Lol

[@laurachavez4160]

Ottie is the cutest 😍 pup ever!

[@JODIMMOSLEY]

Love your tips. Keep going with them. Some people are just miserable and never satisfied. Very cute puppy. 💞💞

[@sharonbrocker6614]

Dashchund are the only breed I ever raised with or own (actually they owned me) They need to be socialized early and they need to be puppy trained. Teach him NOT to jump. This is the MOST important piece that of advice and can give you. It will save him from debilitating back surgery from blown discs. It will save you heartache and thousands of dollars. Doxies are very eager to participate in EVERYTHING you do. If they could ask questions it would be something like this, “hi, what are we doing now?, what’s in that bag?, can I help? And on and on. They are one of the most cheerful breeds and they have endless enthusiasm. They will love you exclusively and with their whole heart. Wishing many, many years of love and joy. Don’t let him jump on and off the furniture. Teach him to only use a ramp. Good luck and thank you for sharing him with us.

[@karlenematthews8705]

Always great styling tips. Congrats on the new pup, he is adorable

[@bibireber5115]

Otti is adorable! My advice with doxies is get them around as many different kinds of kids, people, dogs/puppies, men in hats, etc. and different situations while they are young. I bought a baby sling (black) and carry mine, as well as in a straw bag out shopping or tucked into my vest. I have a Black and Tan wirehair mini--have had smooth, too. Appreciate your elegance and really informative videos.

[@elenaemelyanova]

100% agree. Dogs should explore and socialize as much as possible before 4 month old. After this age everything new is scary.

[@julieqiu]

I feel like you are reading my mind sometimes, Lydia! I just brought in a pair of new black, wide-legged trousers to get hemmed and was feeling so excited to wear them. Also, our sausage dog dreams are so similar! My hubs and I had wanted to have a dachshund for ages (like 6 or 7 years before getting our Donut) and we literally had picked out the name Donut for our future pup. He's (a longhaired black & tan cutie) everything that we dreamed of and more! So excited to see more of your styling guides and of Otti

[@morgannttaylor]

OMG-- Mini Dachshund owner here. I recommend lots of SOCIALIZATION (people, other dogs, restaurants, people in your own home, etc) Lots of weenie dogs bark A LOT so we socialized ours while young and she is not phased by other people or dogs anymore. As soon as she had all of her vaccines we took her to daycare once a week to socialize even more! Also, I recommend soft stairs for your couch/bed so that you can protect their delicate spines and prevent IVDD, which is very common in Dachshunds. Love your page!

[@bernitajenkins3180]

A ramp for outdoor stairs is a good idea too. My girl is 12 now. Separation anxiety is my biggest problem.

[@sundog3150]

We got the soft stairs from Amazon for our small dog. She used them for the first year now jumps everywhere but I have put them away for when she is older. Have fun with your new family member.

[@arianeminden5903]

Congratulations to your new family member👍🏻👍🏻What a beautiful decision!! A lot of responsibility now but also a lot of joy and funny moments for sure😍 Watch your shoes😅 This type of dog needs a lot of exercises outside and mental stimulation because they are very clever. A dog school would be very good after a while when he is already used to his new home. I have two dogs and every day I am so happy that they are in my life. So...good luck and all the best🍀✊🏻

[@majafredebold1208]

I would love to see a video on how you build an outfit. What piece(s) to start off with? What do you consider when dressing in the morning - mood, weather etc. ? Also, how do you then choose what make up to pair it with and what jewelry

[@wendybarker590]

I remember viewing one of Lydia's videos last year, where she started her outfit for the day with the footwear that would work for the weather conditions and the activities planned for that day. Tried to organize my outfits this way, but my statement blazers/jackets dominate and everything else is tailored around them.🤗

[@sorayabranco]

Thank you for presenting us to Ottie. Hes the cuttest puppie

[@crysbuchan8865]

I have a miniature long haired, black and cream- Mojo. He is our second. They are perfect house dogs. Enjoy yours- very cute and lovable❤

[@19CQ]

Thank you for introducing Otti. He is a cutie!! I love dogs! I really needed this video

[@patriciadunmore9767]

Love the jumper you are wearing. Your ‘rules’ or tips are fantastic. I don’t mind whatever you call them but then I am not a snow flake.

[@clsachdeva]

Make sure Otti is in as many videos as possible!

[@lailas.legacy]

You really are THE style teacher 😍. Thanks for all these great tips

[@outikoskela4146]

Absolut perfection to your channel with the puppy!

[@mollyrzr]

I love this type of garment focused videos! I discovered your channel few days ago and now I’m binge watching 😀 One suggestion, if I may - please add a time stamp where you end with the disclaimer (or better, skip it- who is offended by your content, it’s someone that wants to be offended and no amount of disclaimers will un-offend them).

[@oneofakindlifestyle]

I agree. If youre here for styling tips. Either listen and use the ones that apply of F off lol cause your wasting all of our times lol. Now this beautiful girl has to be saying all these disclaimers 🥴😩

[@marycosgrove1587]

Love your new puppy. Great content as always. I always learn from you.

[@bssam2143]

He is too cute and our girl is now 14 years and she is a silver dapple and just love her.

[@sashadeshon5905]

Wrapping the shirt front and tucking edges across and around works well too 👌🏽👌🏽

[@sashadeshon5905]

Could you pls show us how to style lighter chunky boots, I’m struggling! 🙈

[@abrockman102]

So helpful! I adore wide leg trousers- thank you for the ideas

[@quirinevanasperendeboer8938]

Hes i do. Treat tem as a big dog. It is not a toy or small, his mind is massive and they are very independent individuals

[@anandabadili7770]

OTTIE!

[@jilll5257]

Love all your tips! Everything makes perfect sense after I’ve watched your videos. As for Mr Ottie, well…. ADORABLE 🐾 and the perfect pairing of black and tan 😍

[@thefashionablefishkeeper]

Ummmmm are we voting for a dedicated puppy video! I need to check that box YES!!! He is soooo cute Miss Lydia.

[@annkamis6041]

Congratulations on your new fur baby 🐶 Otti is so adorable 🥰

[@marisoldiaz6237]

Omg 😆 he is so adorable 😊 ❤️ I love all your fashion styling ideas - thank you for sharing 😊

[@Vincentianbeauty]

Aaaaah we do love him welcome Otti we love your mummy too looking forward to this video oh Rules from the beginning for Otti I am 60 soon and grew up with dogs

[@pam4622]

Autie is adorable ! Thank you for introducing him.

[@erinhormein2852]

what a lovely puppy! dachshunds are typically prone to hip dysplasia, so its better for ottie to not jumping from the couch/bed or go up and down the stairs much❤️

[@FF-pn7fx]

OMG!! Otti is so adorable!🥰😍🤩💓💕

[@n.b.3521]

Otti's so cute! Love that you're wearing your asymmetrical cardigan at the beginning too as I haven't seen it in a while.

[@simoneastewart]

So glad you are addressing the chunky boot wide leg trouser conundrum. Gonna do black chunky boots, wide leg jeans and a black blazer tomorrow and see how it goes.

[@mikaelamoveson]

@@irina3471me too 😂

[@darkbeansidhe5385]

Congratulations on your new adorable team member! Fellow dachshund owner here and I have to say they are the best dogs... and so funny! Best advice we received from a trainer was use a kong with a high value treat in it (peanut butter, turkey, or chicken) when leaving new pet alone as it will keep them busy. Have fun with your bundle of joy and as always love your style ❤

[@MariaMariaDantas]

We got a dachshund in 2020, it’s out second one in the family. We absolutely loooooove them! Be strict with them in the begging or they end up taking over 😅 I guess that goes for all puppies. Also be careful with over feeding him since over weight in dachshunds can be a real problem for their spine when they get older. I loooove all you content! I’m so happy for the new addiction to the family! ❤️

[@carolinehumes1422]

Great video! I love Ottie - he is adorable! I will look forward to seeing more of him. 💖

[@poppopopp-k3j]

Thank you for these great examples. Cute little Ottie!

[@brendastevens9077]

Your sweet puppy, is so so precious!! 😊❤❤❤

[@RodrigoDíezdeRivera-d2k]

Nice to meet you Ottie🤩 oooh your lovely puppy is absolutly cute!

[@lindsey00669]

Ottie is gorgeous! I have two miniature smooth haired dachshunds. Definitely weigh their food every time as they are prone to putting weight on. Doggie peanut butter in a kong is the best idea for when you leave them during the day. They are lead by their stomachs. Mine hate wet weather so it’s a good idea to get them used to going out for toilet breaks in the rain from an early age. Toilet training was not the easiest when they were young as mine are quite stubborn when it rains and would prefer to stay warm and dry. The best advice I got was to get them used to other dogs very early on. Be careful with big dogs bounding over them as you will know already that their backs are a weak spot for injury. Best of luck! He’s a sweetheart. X

[@jeanetteposecznick2034]

Ottie is adorable!!!

[@kasiagorczynska8336]

Hi Lydia, the video about skirts (you styled 3 types) was something I need more of. Would be great to see spin of for each of them. Also, do you have tips on party wear? Thank you for all that you doing!

[@Merslotten]

So helpful thank you! I’d love to learn about jewelry and accessories and bag pairing for the spring, you should make a deep dive on that!

[@YoGuSiowa]

Cutie! Can't wait to see some dog park outfits :) My advice, remember dachshunds are hunting breed so make sure to ensure him a lot of activity.

[@mariatpower]

Oh your fur baby Ottie is so adorable, congratulations ❤❤❤

[@candibee8918]

I am wondering if you would possibly do an updated flare pant dos/don'ts? I love them, but I can't seem to quite style them right just yet! LOVE LOVE LOVE the new pupper :) Thanks for your wonderful content!

[@judis6224]

So cute lydia,like the wide leg,with jeans,love your jewelery 😊

[@pamkirby4390]

Loved Ottie, not sure I spelled it correctly. Love this type of video a lot 🙌🐶🇺🇸

[@SadieDLdn]

I have two miniature dachshunds and they are the best dogs in the world. They are incredibly smart - mine are trained scent work dogs. I love kikopup on you tube who is wonderful for dog tips!! Remember to always check the credentials and full qualifications of anyone you take training advice from as dog training is an unregulated industry - enjoy your sausage xx

[@fleurcraven9862]

My sister has a miniature dachshund puppy, she’s 4 months old. I would recommend boundaries and training straight away. Also socialising with other dogs too. Jude; the puppy also meets up for dachshund walks and has made friends with her own kind already. We love her. I love being an auntie 🐾🐾🐾

[@gosiakidd5646]

Hello Otti! Such an adorable pup and lucky to have you. As for the wide trousers, my Summer option is with wedges and overall more elegant look is with brogues.

[@kimberlyf4888]

Ottis is adorable. As for training, be aware that dogs are always learning - whether you mean to be training them or not!

[@kuanyshsaiduova]

Thank you for your styling tips, they've been super useful!

[@shaleighreynolds3494]

Um I,love the grey sweater you are wearing….and thank you for the tips!!!

[@lynngill9557]

He’s so precious

[@user-py3mj6nd7dBianco]

Ottie is so adorable, I have a maltese he is 13. I absolutely love wide leg trousers, thanks for the tips.

[@carriehodges6566]

Oh I love your baby! We are doxie people, too. Be patient and consistent in the house training! I always learn so much from your videos. Rules/guidelines are helpful. And you have to know them to break them.

[@nikijay9635]

Thank you Lydia. I just bought a beautiful pair of cashmere wide leg pants and was struggling to style them. It's such a different look for me that I was regretting having bought them. You've given me lots to think about. Thank you, as always. L❤V🐕

[@lindagrey5728]

Puppies are adorable. Say goodbye to sleeping in for a year or two, but totally worth it. x

[@asianangie7209]

Your pup is sooo cute! He coordinates with many of your assemblies! Thanks for reposting on KZbin. How you improved the look with the oversized stripe shirt was grea! Also love the asymmetric buttoned gray sweater you are wearing.

[@carolynemery9257]

Otti is precious!!♥

[@josalmon4742]

I happen to have a miniature dachshund the same color. Mine is 7 yrs. Old. His name is Charlie.

[@carlosruiz184]

Great content Lydia and a gorgeous addition to an already gorgeous team! Congratulations!! I know they are not fashionable any more but, could you do a class on styling beige/neutral straight legged trousers?

[@MadameSarah]

Oh Lydia, Ottie is just precious!!

[@elizabethsherren2106]

Really enjoy your videos and your puppy is adorable! Grew up with 2 Dachshunds,Golden Retrievers after that.

[@SS-yu6xt]

Thanks for this! Bought some black wide-legged trousers the other day and love them because they are so flattering and videos like this help with stuff I already have in my wardobe. Excellent help!

[@inlovedesign4300]

Thank You for another informational show!! Please keep up the amazing show 😊😊💗💗

[@sharonwilcoxen2498]

Love the deep dive, Lydia! More please!

Oi Lily, sou do Nordeste do Brasil. Tenho 60 anos e ADORO suas dicas. Não falo inglês, mas consigo entede-la. Tenho uma netinha dog , igualmente o seu. Ela se chama Maia, adora praia , nada e cava a areia . Essa raça é incrivel, vcs vão se apaixonar para sempre. Um beijo.

[@inlovedesign4300]

I love your new baby Ottie 💗💗

[@missleni9122]

Ottie is soo precious. 🥰 Best tip is: Be consistent! Say he's not allowed to be on the sofa, don't let him be on the sofa sometimes.. it's tempting to give in to him when he's so cute and adorable, but it'll just be super confusing for him when the rules changes, depending on your mood. 😉 so from day one, decide what is and isn't allowed and stick to it! 😊 and while his being house broken, take him out after naps, after food, and after play 😅 that's basically all they do, so everyother thing should be potty time outside 😊 we used to praise our dog when she peed outside in the beginning, just to reinforced that that was right 😅 Love your style! 🤩 Just bought a wideleg, super high-waisted leather trouser, and they're amazing! But always good with some inspiration, so came here ofc!

[@KaterynaNovakivska-i2w]

Love your little pup!

[@jenniferhill1580]

I have a black and tan miniature dachshund named Daisy. As for implementing your own rules with a doxie, all I can say is good luck!😂 Fortunately, they're adorable 🐶

[@chiaramorinelli3010]

How adorable!! He's beautiful ❤️ Love your video by the way 😊

[@allibell716]

Hi Lydia, really enjoying your style tips and seeing your new puppy. Thought I would copy this for you to add to your vocabulary when describing design and why pieces work …. There are twelve basic principles of design: contrast, balance, emphasis, proportion, hierarchy, repetition, rhythm, pattern, white space, movement, variety, and unity. These principles work together to create visually appealing and functional designs that make sense to users.

[@littlecatboybuddy]

Informative! Also easy to understand. Thanks!

[@brandiross4670]

Love the style tips and the new puppy 🐶 is adorable 🥰

[@yourconnection9303]

Ottie is such a sweetheart!! Cesar Millan the Dog Whisperer has books and KZbin videos all about dogs to explore if you're interested. And thanks for showing what to do with big baggy shirts and pants. Looking forward to seeing more of Ottie in the videos!

[@slay.88]

Tysm for this video! It helps me a lot as a short girl😅

[@carohugel2828]

Such a great video…again. Thanks a lot Lydia
