NEW Outfits from OLD Clothes: Shopping My Closet for Italian Streetstyle

[@leahgeller9988]

You are spot on about how men's styles don't change as quickly as women's. That is something we can definitely learn from! I loved this video so much. Some of the fabrics in the menswear are just so gorgeous. I guess when you can keep your clothes for years or decades, you can invest in beautiful fabrics and tailoring.

[@JosephineJames-x7b]

Yes she was spot on, I too love this video. I just recently thrifter a teens suit which fits really well and looks fab. Will definitely be hunting for more.

[@evalindell2757]

Loove this! You are such an inspiration! Thank You ❤️

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

I'm so glad you liked it Leah!

[@dolphin7216]

This is by far the most original and best styling video from you for ages, Alyssa! Splendid colour play with neutrals and brights, so easy on the eye. Bravissima!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

thank you so much!

[@katem3961]

This was eye opening Alyssa. Couldn't agree more about how mens fashion doesn't 'judge' as harshly when it comes to cut and silhouette. We could certainly take a leaf from their fashion book! I loved these outfits you were inspired to create, simply stunning! Thank you so much for the inspiration to explore my current wardrobe in so many new ways.

[@JanH-v5x]

Terrific video, Alyssa! You have never looked more powerful or beautiful or playful- all while delivering great ideas and advice for everyone, including us women over 50. You have the best content on KZbin. Brava!!

[@lidiatracz7460]

Fully agreed !!!

[@leonardascorpius5304]

Ever since the Preppy Movement hit me in the early 80's as a preteen, I've always adored the types of looks you'd put together in this video--like Preppie with a hint of new, boho, vibrant colors, and unique accessories. At 57, I am really loving the current trends and availability of updated classics for reasonable prices at high street stores like H&M and Zara.

[@Martina-qu9vc]

I so much like your videos! Today I got directly inspired by one of your outfits which I wear today: beige wide leg trousers, fitted black cardigan and a blazer 😊 Thank you!

[@deniseoates7147]

The reason around your rant is real because and I second it. I am 62 and I am not going to think about limiting my options by what designers are trying to dictate about what in or out. I was lucky to thrift a black pair of loafers and a tan pair both was from the men's rack. I been picking up some interesting socks to wear with them. I never thought about wearing a denim chambray shirt under a blazer what a lost opportunity for a great look now I see. Enjoyed video and thanks for providing some great inspirations. Hope all is well and blessings to you and all in this new year.

If it's God's will, I'll be 60 in August. One of the greatest benefits of "aging gracefully" is kicking the opinions of THEY to the curb and each day taking a healthy dose of not giving a....well, you know!😂😅😊❤

[@deniseoates7147]

@@JosephineJames-x7b BAM! Enough said!

[@pdk9903]

Yes! My "dressier" shoes are all men's wear! Also I get my colorful socks from the men's section !

[@carmenlheureux5435]

You look great in every outfit! It’s nice to see those black and white flats (and you have the bag as well) that you already had when I found you. Now that’s slow fashion to me!

[@fashionandluxury101]

I agree😊

[@sabrinaa8948]

The cream pants, jean shirt, neutral blazer outfit is phenomenal

[@teresamccrone2585]

I really enjoyed this. Particularly the idea of a balanced silhouette. I get tge idea of pairing baggy and tight. But actually don't want to wear either. A video on balanced silhouettes for women would be very welcome.

[@gumbootgardener]

Thank you for the inspiration. I recently discovered that my husband's gorgeous charcoal wool flannel suit from the 1980's (which has not fit him for decades) fit's me perfectly! I just need to take the pants in a bit at the waist - not a problem, because I let the waist out for him years ago. It's very classic and looks current, whereas my 1980's suits would have needed some serious shoulder pad removal. I think I will start with the jacket and jeans, and add one of my scarves at the neck. Another brilliant video, thank you again.

[@marlasassparilla]

This isn’t so much about the video, which I totally agree with you and love your content. However, I just received two of your belts from Brave Leather and wow! They are beautiful and worth every penny! I will continue to add to my belts with Brave. Excellent quality!!!❤

[@lauramaxwell8327]

This was, start to finish, a cool idea. The light chambray denim shirt with the brown blazer and cream pants was my personal fave. Overall, though, I would never have thought to do this and it's such a clever way to reimagine.

[@carriehodges6566]

Excellent as always. I’m doing a no buy February. The encouragement to create instead of shopping is very timely!!

[@dudswoo]

You're right about outfits that show thought and consideration; I always feel fantastic when I properly style a look. Your tan pants and jacket ensemble with the black top was exquisite.

[@-ParisTexas-]

I was there! I usually go every season, so I've been many times (for work). Pitti style is very specific and doesn't change much from season to season. It is not really representative of what is being shown in the fair itself. It is always great to be there, love the atmosphere.

[@susanalsembach6026]

There were so many fun Ideas and concepts, I loved the denim shirt under the blazer!!!! Off for a walk with my dogs to mull of some fashion ideas :)

[@nehagoswami2019]

Wow!!! I loved how u used men’s style and incorporated into feminine/ masculine for women. This is by far my favorite video. I will watch it again and use things in my closet. Thank u😘

[@inglenook220]

I love when you style menswear looks. I was thrilled to see this video pop up and it didn't disappoint! ❤️

[@olgaperez-rubio113]

I love the look Levi’s shirt + Classic blazer! Amazing! Love your videos!

[@justinebarton2931]

Alyssa I loved this video. One of your best. And your references are always so interesting. I had never heard of Pitto Uomo before. I loved seeing all the mens streetwear styles. I loved all the looks you created, but especially the denim shirt under the camel blazer with the white trousers. Absolutely devine!

[@karenc5821]

This came at just the right time! Been feeling a bit lost as I'm 62 now and have put on some weight. Still difficult to see styles on slimmer people and imagine how it will look on me. I've almost felt I've lost what my style is ☹️ This reminded me that a shaped denim jacket was a staple in my wardrobe, worn with everything. Have always worn loafers and shirts with the top button done up.....must be a security thing 😆 Thank you for reminding me of how I love to dress ❤

[@laceymellott3442]

I absolutely loved this video, Alyssa. Menswear inspired looks are some of my favorites. Every outfit felt like something I would wear. 🤩

[@littlecitygirl]

Great looks, Alyssa and I especially adore those cream trousers, they are so versatile and looked great with everything you put with them.

[@oliviamanuel4445]

Wow. Love these outfits. And also your two-toned shoes!

[@ABO_MAZN_]

Well done Alyssa and keep going

[@suzanschneider6163]

All of the outfits were so good on you! Men’s wear really looks good on you. With feminine touches, really balancing the looks. Thanks!

[@valeriehowden471]

Classic menswear ❤. I love the pops of colour. Since I've started knitting wool socks, I look forward to cooler weather just to show their colours and textures.

[@beverlycadien6038]

This was soooo informative. I’m about to travel to Europe from Florida where I live. I got inspiration on what to pack so as to dress in layers. I will watch this video again! Thank you!

[@liavanus]

Thanks so much for introducing me to Pitti Uomo fashion, Alyssa! Currently glued to Pinterest now studying all the looks 🤤 GREAT OUTFITS, as always! I particularly enjoy it when you bust out the scarf! I have been wearing mine a lot, too. They add such cool touch to any outfit.

fabulous looks Alyssa, you are still my fave creator on YT :)

[@jennifercollins2592]

I love all the mood board looks and what you came up with from your closet. Many of the looks remind me of the artist Mark Maggiori. It just goes to show how having great classic pieces (and a few unique ones) can create infinite variety!

Italian sprezzatura! Love it!

Adore the ivory/cream with taupe/camel jacket. Suits your beautiful complexion and hair.

Thank you so much Alyssa. I got heaps of inspiration and all the items are in my wardrobe! Bellissimo

Qualité et service au top. Je recommande

[@solenebouysse5322]

I am very happy about your comment about wanting to appear effortless with our style. I personnally always hated this concept. I don’t understand why I would spend all this time and EFFORT to be stylish and it should look I haven’t put any effort into it !? I want to look like I have put effort into it ! Appear to not have seems very dishonest to me … 😅

[@lynnebarren2410]

I'm liking this notion of appearing very well put together as well....

[@sheilarowley9721]

Great video with inspiring insights. Got to say my favourite outfits were the ones where you added your styling words ‘undone’ & ‘sexy’ ❤

[@tinar1405]

Very cool! Definitely a hit!

[@pambirdsall9863]

Great video as usual. We are experiencing a four day snow event in Nova Scotia, so enjoying a coffee and watching this has made my day. I love the colour of your sweater! It makes you glow❣️

[@chelsealeighpaul3771]

Just added two things to my wish list. Wide legs trousers and a men’s wear inspired blazer. Loved the looks!

[@avivat3010]

I like how you have several colour sets: a cashmere soft beige coat, jacket, boots and suit; a cordoba? (reddish-brown) leather loafers, watch band, belt and probably purse: black set of sweaters, boots, shoes, etc. and white shirt, pants, shoes, etc. Baby blue and soft pink also seem to be colours you gravitate to. Are most of your metals gold? So several key plain colour sets which mix and match delightfully. I think these colour sets gives your wardrobe that easy elegance we are all looking for. I love the outfits you create!

[@juliemoore6957]

You have such great style! Loved this!

[@katereed4764]

I am so impressed! Your style is generally very feminine, so I was wondering how this would play out. I love the images your shared from Pitti Uomo. Colour me inspired.

[@l.l.lekens6610]

The looks were an absolute hit! I'll feel very inspired by your combinations. I will try out a couple of my own.

[@Christina-vp6lv]

You are just freaking fabulous! Loved all the looks. Amazing inspiration ❤

[@aklookout]

I think you did a great job making the case for menswear being interesting and even feminine and sexy!! Love it and I will be doing more to incorporate this vibe in my closet instead of always putting a girly print top in the mix.

[@mirandabotelho2001]

One of your best videos ever! I will bookmark this one for inspiration. 😍

[@karenparker169]

Very refreshing! 🤩Great new ideas, will try & get creative. Thank you for making fashion fun & sustainable!! 🙏👌👍👍😍❤️

[@mimiandthemuse]

Wow, Alyssa. Every look , a winner. What a coincidence that only last night, I was looking at some such looks in menswear on Pinterest! I've always liked menswear as an inspiration for women's wear in my closet. The hoodies under a tailored blazer is one of my favorite looks. I also own a few men's silk scarves with the paysley prints and so on. Last year I thrifted a man's pair of navy pin stripped trousers and a man's d.b. blazer in a pin stripe navy. Together, they almost look like they were meant to go together. ❤️ love it.

[@malloryhigh2251]

This was so inspiring and informative!! Now I'm obsessed with Pitti Uomo streetstyle! Thank you:)

[@notmyrealname6272]

Love alllll this and you’d look great in anything both the jumper round the shoulders under the coat freaked me out because I could just imagine how that would feel and look from the back and it made me want to jump into the video and rip it out from under the coat haha not an overreaction at all/drama queen etc :) Love your videos and the message behind them. ❤🎉

[@sylviarodriguez1644]

Great styling. Minimalist with a bang! Thanks for the inspiration 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Fabulousafterforty]

I have been shopping the men’s department for 2 years now. I love wearing a men’s jacket or t-shirt and mixing that masculine element with feminine or men’s over sized with slimmer fit.

[@luisajordanofraga1675]

I love adding some masculine vibe to my looks, I feel more comfortable and sexier. Great video, really inspiring

The last one was my favorite. Great work

[@CJay-q9f]

Great, great, great video, Alyssa! A couple thoughts before I go have a conversation with my closet... I think the loose top and loose bottom formula, rather than the either/or formula, enhanses a more solid male body better than a cuvier female body. But... Sometimes we just want to change it up. And, the good thing is... Designers/Brands can't choose to change trends frequently, if we, the consumer, won't go along with it. Have a great week, Everyone!

Ooh, I love this. I am often inspired by menswear and masculine styles. I love the tailoring, layering and mixing up of styles and textures - this is right up my street!

I loved this video so much I'm going to watch it again. Beautiful menswear looks and your interpretation of the menswear! I loved me some Annie Hall-inspired dressing back in the day. Can't wait to revive a few looks!

[@kimjohnson8471]

Thx to you and Audrey, I started down the road to thrifting around 5 years ago. Some of my greatest finds have been men's shirts and blazers. Chef's 💋. Love your channel ❤😊

Loved ALL the looks. Really leaning towards the menswear right now because of you. My outerwear game needs a little work. Looking forward to some thrifting for a peacoat and good long coat.

I was hoping to see you in the Florentine cowboy look - Stetson, HIGH waisted pants, rodeo-buckle belt. That guy was a real hoot! And I doubt many guys will go for the head-scarf plus baseball cap even in Italy. But what do I know?! I do appreciate your analysis of the underlying principles, and your ability to reflect them with pieces in your closet. Maybe in mine too.
