You are by far the best style influencer on KZbin! I love your unique approach.❤

[@crissolmontiel]

Love it! totally outside the box, all capsule wardrobes are always boring, not yours! so playful and colorful. Great inspiration!

[@Cinnamon_Sauce]

I love how you make a basic items fashionable!!!

[@EllenaHue]

many thanks ❤

[@slvrlady]

Thank you for giving us a capsule wardrobe that isn't blah! Great section on style logic.

[@lose999]

A new background? Even your decor is chic!! I love your videos. Always hit the like button before watching.

[@EllenaHue]

Oh yes! Thank you for mentioning this! We moved to a new apartment, and finally, I have an interior that reflects my own vision!!!

[@654ujala]

I’m amazed by how you combine color in your outfits! Everything seamlessly just works and the combinations are unique and fresh. It’s also extremely helpful when you show different outfits with the same pieces next to each other. Even showing us how the scarf adds s9mething to the outfit was helpful. Thank you!

[@junelorraineroberts5608]

Without a doubt you are the absolute best!

[@sbaumgartner9848]

I love your sense of coordinating colours and how to put together this not your average capsule wardrobe. I think a kimono top and clean lines are classic. I'm a lot older than you but I prefer your style of dressing than the majority of people on KZbin.

[@kbrown3710]

This video popped up, and I am so glad I watched it. You are so talented. I am now a new subscriber and have been binge watching your videos and shorts. Thank you for sharing such informative and refreshing content. I love all your videos!

[@blufaerie]

Perfect video. I really appreciate the addition of the linen kimono. It’s much more summer than a blazer and a breath of fresh air!

[@rosehatter2]

Your hairstyle is PERFECT for you! Excellent styling tips! Thank you!

[@Cinnamon_Sauce]

This is a really good concept. This is a perfect travel capsule wardrobe too!! Pls do one for every season. Thank you!!!

[@anfrasilva2933]

WHY ARE YOU SO CREATIVE!!!! LOVE IT!

Love your style and your videos. I must say, this is the BEST capsule wardrobe video I have ever seen! I loved every item, colour, and combination. Lovely, just lovely!

[@myrebae1378]

Gorgeous Ellena! I love all of your videos- but this is especially stunning. Thank you for your inspiration. 🥰

[@YouSirAnNoun]

Thank you for this Ellena! This is such a breath of fresh air, especially most other youtubers capsule wardrobes look like copy-paste of each other. This is very pretty and inspiring! 😍

[@JOJO-ug9ei]

Stunning! I love how you used colour and how everything went together. Genius.

[@EllenaHue]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@Pluscelamemechose]

I’ve subscribed. Hardly a mention of black. I don’t wear black. I’ve branched out in colors this year, and I’ve just bought the 2 bags you recommended. Perfect time to find your channel. Thank you.

[@rileyreynolds5463]

I love all of your videos but this one is by far my favorite. I love capsule wardrobe so much, like the challenge of making as many outfits as possible with only a few pieces. Thanks for the video. Lots of love and light.

[@maryokeefe5351]

You have such great style, beautiful Ellena. Everything looks amazing on you.

[@Lisa.AmenAlleluia]

Oh my gosh! For me, the concept of "capsules" was all very confusing... however, in one short tutorial of yours, you clarified it perfectly ❤. Thank you for being YOU... you are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 👏 🤩 ❤️

[@manishagupta7570]

you have good taste of style i am fan of you

[@EllenaHue]

Thank you so much 😀

[@rosej9686]

You have incredible style! ❤

[@inna4001]

Thank you Ellena. Everything is so simple. I like your videos 🌺

[@lynclarke6184]

Thank you. Yet another classic video.

[@alisabelmas429]

Well-though video as always ❤ I have an idea for a next video: a capsule wardrobe that allows for tonal outfits in several colors (for example, 2 neutrals and 2 statement colors). I try to build this kind of capsule myself, but it's hard to understand how many pieces to include

[@kcloveonaleash]

I'm doing just that - white , linen beiges, grey ,black and either hot pink or orange for a pop

[@irairod5160]

@@kcloveonaleash My summer capsule is very similar: navy, white, and flax, with pops of raspberry pink and royal blue. The shoes are brown leather, beige/tan canvas, or raspberry-colored pointy flats.

[@geritenbrink]

I love your content!🌻

[@EllenaHue]

Thank you so much!! ❤️

[@mhtammi]

These pieces also make a great travel capsule. 🙂

[@DonnaHeraty]

Very creative combinations!!!!Thank you!

[@irnalonso]

I love this capsule and I'm.going to use it as a base for my Summer wardrobe. The kimono and the waistoast were both unexpected and excellent ideas

[@fannymavraganis2582]

Thank you Ellena! It is fresh, playful and I have almost all of them, especially the skirt!

[@imutare]

Masterpiece as usual ❤

[@MerchHelen]

Thank you Elena for summer inspiration.❤

[@ΦανηΠαπιστα]

Great recommendations! Especially the orange kimono 🧡!! Such a great idea! An alternative to the usual jackets and blazers! I found it in a nice cream color with thin stripes… I think I’m gonna treat myself to one! 😉 Thank you for your ideas!

[@AmusedHot-AirBalloons-xq3wz]

Excelent video. Thanks!!

Inspiring and freeing to see a truly personal style.

[@smartmarmot3982]

Highlight of the montage is at 7, when the breeze makes your COS jumpsuit move. Amazing on you. You could pull this jumpsuit off as a black tie wear, with right accessories and footwear.

[@gooffie29]

Love you videos and your sense of color. Could you show us how to style the Midi Gilets (no button)? I have struggled with it :-)

[@alena9940]

Such a great video! Very inspiring!❤

[@janmiliara3866]

Great job as always. Please do some more styling with your Mom for us more seasoned viewers. Thank you.

[@DesireeGonza]

I love all your pairings. Thanks ❤

[@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11]

I have let my hair go gray and now it is a silver. My clothing has to complement my new hair color. Everything in my wardrobe still looks good except for some warm tone colors. I have to change my make up and some of my clothing to match my new hair color, I don’t know if I will keep it silver but I may. Thank you for all your help.

[@christines.9707]

Love it 🤩

[@laundryisevil9240]

Everything drapes on you so beautifully because you have a model's body.Im thin, but I am big busted and most of the styles would make me look huge...any chance you will have different body shapes and suggestions? Your color combinations are perfection ❤❤❤

[@myinnermagpie]

Darts and knits are both good ideas. Sometimes the fabric needed to cover a bust flares out or hangs out over the waist. Then you just look like a box. Imagine her orange kimono top with seams or darts that make the garment skim her body more like a well-fitted blouse and you’ll get the idea. Or wear garment that have a really good drape so that your waist doesn’t get lost. Hope this makes sense.

[@kamillaerdos7636]

Interesting video! Thanks! Make more! :) My capsel wardrobe idea are floral pattern dress, majolika pattern dress, chroshet dress, 2 bikini, straw bag , white bag and an another bright colour bag, some bijous, leather white sandals, and a colourful one. And of course sporty shorts, and sleeveless top. Halter dress or top must have piece, Floral/ tropical pattern light flowy trousers. Puff sleeves, ruffles, and an extra one is ankara dress?;) Big no no for blasers and shits they re too masculine and dont fit everyone. I do love colours and i like in ur videos the colour advices and the accessories. We need more accessories idea videos and sandals ideas too!

[@athenabautista295]

How do you not have to use the 1/3 to 2/3 rule for tops and bottoms? Is that just for shorter people?

[@rawimas]

Always love your videos. I've rewatched some of them many times. Your videos really help improve how I style my clothes. Thank you!

[@beeyenlim4778]

I’ve been watching a lot of your videos of late as I have a wardrobe full of clothes but like many, feel like I have nothing interesting to wear. Your play of colours, not just white.black and beige is interesting. Going to give it a go, but have to say I’m getting out of my comfort zone. Thank you for making dressing up such fun and providing ideas of playing with colours is a good thing.

[@brendapollock49]

Ellena, I love the jumpsuit,BUT, it’s very hard to wear and use the bathroom 😉

[@Pluscelamemechose]

Do you have a video for Caribbean living? It’s always warm here, and I live in linen and cotton. Widen leg linen blend pants have hit big here. And linen skirts work much better than satin.

[@alena9940]

Great video and good tips. I will be happy to see more videos with tips. Thank you very much!

[@chereeburtner4659]

Very well done! Learning much. Not fan of orange, but the blues and greens are beautiful.

[@deniseyounger6004]

I like how you style your clothes but it wouldn’t work on my chubby body 🦋

[@ruthgibbins510]

Thank you so much for this video! I am a similar colouring to you and have some of these items in my wardrobe already: a burnt orange shirt, loose long linen mix white shirt, striped tank tops- so I’m going to use this as inspiration to make some new outfits. I’m very much about sustainability, so I won’t be buying anything unless I can find a similar item in a thrift shop - but using these ideas. I wonder if blue and white fine stripe trousers would work instead of white? I don’t wear white trousers ( I’m such a messy pup!) but probably limited use as I can’t wear with a stripe tank or tee shirt. Though I do have some green pull on trousers I thrifted last week. I downloaded the capsule wardrobe sheet - but was a bit disappointed it didn’t have the clothes you were wearing above - that would have been useful to follow as I love all of these outfits in the video! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@kimcrighton5032]

Thank you from Australia Ellena! Your videos are so helpful. Could you do some matching with pastels too please such as a mint top. Recently I purchased a winter cardigan in mint with pearl buttons down the front.

[@lynnfox8376]

Love how colourful, versatile and different this is. What would you add for rain?

[@a24-45]

Thanks Ellena, your way of presenting ideas is so clear and easy to follow! your style, Modern Classic, isn't mine, but I still gain so much -- because the principles are universal. Just one point about the jumpsuit: its not possible to wear these jumpsuit example outfits out of the house -- as we have to disrobe down to our undies to use the bathroom! no way is anyone going to take off the over-layered garments and try to hang them safely in a public cubicle. This is why jumpsuits in practice are quite limited; they are a stand-alone piece. However, in your examples, if the jumpsuit were a dress, no problem! I already have a navy modal dress very like your jumpsuit, and I am excited to style it as you have done.

[@IreneJones-cl8qr]

Such an interesting combination of colours and styles, much more exciting than what others suggest for a capsule wardrobe. Thank you for such great inspiration.

[@marylhere]

Layering over a jumpsuit…..lol till wet. All the rest….very nice.

[@sherikennedy4117]

love this! i was able to go to my own closet and put together some looks using this video as an inspiration. i have some longer linen sleeveless tops that i think i can use as "vests". your content is so helpful to me restyling what i already have and learning what i need to purchase (which is very little!). thank you.

[@akliana]

I just love this! I'll be going back home to Hawaii in August where it will be really warm and I love these ideas. Thank you so much!

With fabric and color variations these pieces would work for virtually any season. I sew and will be 'making the look' in most of these garments. They translate very well to a casual, but unconventional wardrobe. Thank you!
