OUTDATED STYLE RULES TO DITCH RIGHT NOW

[@ladysaturnuniverse5631]

If you know what looks good on you and feeling comfortable with your style,it doesn't matter what people say 😊

[@ttp591]

I absolutely agree with you.

[@graceukwu9203]

Absolutely.

[@mailang3307]

Agree, feel free to be yourself 🤗💪💃

[@JasminMarkstedt]

Yes wear what you Love 🤩💫❤️

[@Findingpurposefulcareers]

Facts

[@grumpyschnauzer]

I love wearing navy and black and especially in summer. The subtle contrast is Devine.

[@leesteal4458]

I've always loved that combo. 😊

[@allisonk8484]

I love black and navy together. I think it looks very chic.

[@emmarose9466]

Same! Never heard that one

[@joannabaker6398]

Nothing new. YSL started the trend in 1950s

[@melanieknight8179]

One influencer very pair black and navy then another says you should.

[@judybridges8796]

Very French.

[@lauraalba7151]

Me too, but I’m afraid to try

[@user-vz8ro6df9k]

I've learned that not following the trend makes dressing up more fun. 😊

[@vivianajames8521]

I agree

[@xoxo.shaunae]

It does!

[@isabelaisme6979]

That first one is so true! I've had things from cheaper stores that are in mint condition and stuff from higher end brands that I don't wear anymore because they didn't hold up as well. Fabric composition is where it's at. I agree 💯

[@aurinkobay7118]

i still have my express legging/pants after 15 years. Actually that pair was the first thing I bought at Express

[@danieladana4224]

What fabric composition is the best, can you be more precise please?

[@isabelaisme6979]

@@danieladana4224 natural fibers like cotton, linen, silk, wool, or blends of this fabrics. Sometimes a wee bit of polyester in the mix is good, to make the fabric less wrinkly. But be aware of the thinness of the fabric. The thicker it is, the more expensive it will look and the more it will last you.

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

I bought a very popular designer it bag in 2009. It lost shape fast and I took it to a peddler. It was LINED with cardboard. I thrifted it but it’s still RRP $US2800 Cardboard! M&S autograph bags are made better.

[@oliwiam7255]

Same. I also gave up on hella expensive 100% wool sweater. Found out that I much prefer nice blend even with polyester or even just wiscose /cotton blends.

[@minarenteria7842]

I think you should wear what makes you feel the most confident. And also, don’t forget to live your best life 💕

[@jupiethekitty2021]

You *clearly* missed the point or the audience this video is intended for.

[@tiffanynichol7765]

Do you ever try to dress yourself but when you go to the mirror you DON'T feel confident and can't figure out what's not working? That's why fashion advice exists. Like any art form, there are rules that help and sometimes we break them once we know what we're doing.

[@Betty-Anne-xs4gp]

Yes I agree. Wear what makes you feel great and you like…. Yup!!

[@hayday4195]

Bottom line… we can wear what we want 😅

[@ninaotan7811]

At least people from liberal countries could enjoy freedom wearing whatever they like even before this video.

[@juja1969]

True...who cares yeah

[@karenjohnson7878]

I think you can wear any colour in any season though dark colours attract more heat so will make you feel hotter.

[@angelofknowledge9389]

That's the reason for the rule

[@ewelinaskoczylas3301]

The fabric also matters, when you're wearing light colour clothes from natural fabric like linen or silk, the heat and sun are becoming more tolerable 😊

[@JakeMo_]

I've been watching you all for almost a year now and have learned so much and have so much more to learn when it comes to Classic Menswear and styles. Before, I had never known what I wanted to wear or what I liked in general but since stumbling upon this channel I have a clear goal of what I want. Thank you to those who make this channel and those who will make it last for more years to come, you are truly a blessing :)

[@juliagoolia72]

#1 is so true. Price tag doesn’t always equal quality, and let’s remember so many influencers recommending these expensive brands are often gifted items or given credit, so affordability is different. Look for fabric, and look at the stitching to recognize well made items.

[@roosgroen7254]

Rules rules rules? Wear what you like and the fabrics that wears fine. You are your one boss 😊😘

[@Victoria-sq2fd]

Heavy on the black and navy! I’ve always thought it was such a sophisticated color combination

[@valeriepoulan9022]

En France, une association qui est appréciée. D'ailleurs c'était une des associations préférées du grand Yves Saint Laurent ( YSL) Tellement chic 👌

[@einna420]

style rule: wear whatever the fuck you want, dont listen to ANYONE telling you what "looks good", or "must haves", or whats "contrived" or not. Wear whatever you want, period.

[@julijakeit]

Matching accessories like belts and shoes or shoes and bag will always be a classic.

[@marissashantez6051]

I agree. It looks intentional, and I like that. They dont have to be identical, but they should be same color family, warm b brown to warm brown, cool beje to cool beje.. etc.

[@graceukwu9203]

I agree

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I agree, it looks a bit more formal, good for an interview, etc, as it looks intentional and you've put in more effort,... the other way looks more casual and would be fine to shop or lunch with friends..

[@snjezanaspahija249]

Exactly❤

[@annah995]

for me that can feel too "try hard". It always depends. But I like looks more that feel relaxed and less strict.

[@micklynnb]

No, I like my belt, shoes, and purse to all be matching. It usually bothers me when they aren't. 😬 If one thing doesn't match the other two, it at least has to match the shirt/dress, not the pants. 😐

[@SarahDecent]

Bang on as always - EXCEPT belt loops look terrible without a belt! Mind you as I agree with all of the rest of this I'm starting to think I might need a rethink ....... 😊

[@DRT7310]

I thought the same - definitely wear a belt 😅

[@charissapromes]

So funny, I have really never been bothered by it

[@resurgem]

I love a smart belt. It pulls your look together.

[@zaaradr]

True!! I love black and navy - it’s such an elegant quiet luxury type of style ❤

[@isabellfox2915]

I certainly agree about it not being the brand etc when it comes to getting a good outfit or putting pieces together, example; whilst literally walking through Primark just glancing as I went I spotted a linen skirt with some pretty detailing which was lined and had a really good feel to it, I was going to a garden party later that day so I picked it up, teamed it with a top I had already - 8/9 years later I was still wearing that skirt it was black and white so I could team it with so many different combinations of tops and accessories, it cost £8.00 so I would say never discount anything as being a useful wardrobe staple just because it doesn't come with a designer label or price!!

[@jasperandanna8047]

I work fashion industry more than 20 years. Most important things is you are comfortable what you wear. I love navy and black style and matching style, because definitely looks good and stylish. Summer time I also wear dark colors sometimes. Doesn’t matter who said to you.

[@christineblair4078]

I still think you need a belt when there are belt loops. It looked so much better with the belt. All your outfits looked really sharp. Nicely done

[@fionastevenson4366]

She looks amazing in all yhe looks

[@criscelle2424]

I agree...belt loops are there for a reason. If i dont want to wear abelt, id rather rrip the belt loops off 😅

[@emmajoseph5267]

😊​@@criscelle2424

[@solostudio100]

Sometimes the belt looks like too much when you wear a printed top and/or a printed bottom. I totall understand this influencer. I’ve gone without my belt numerous times with my pants and have received compliments.

[@crystaltaylor138]

I wear a lot of black & navy together year round! I remember my mum saying cannot wear them together coming from her 70’s fashion design days…

[@capsulates8980]

Whatever you have,use ! Don’t let people use their personal preferences to make your life miserable.

[@junemacauley6813]

And that includes this video - if you want to always wear a belt with belt loops, do it! 🤔

[@teeray5791]

Exactly 💯

[@OmgitsNeens]

My basics are the things that stay with me the longest and that I change out the least. So I finally invested in some good quality materials. You don’t have to break the bank to do that though! I just made sure it was all 100% cotton or poplin which is another form of cotton just a different binding style.

[@shanequasauceda7251]

In high school, I got laughed at so badly for wearing black and navy, yet I felt so cute and put together.

[@jigglypuff_foryoutube1700]

People can be so mean :(

[@LouShirley]

My mother told me I looked like a bruise

[@charissapromes]

@@LouShirleywauw thats cold. You were onto something though. Actually have never heard of this style “rule” so you were fine😅

[@coffeenorth]

Love all the outfits. I also don't believe in matching all the leathers but I do believe in matching jewelry according to gold or silver. If you wear gold earrings it somehow feels mismatched to me when the rings are suddenly silver. Maybe that's just me.

[@undercat7767]

That's no longer a rule either, I've read. But I like to include a mixed metals piece to tie it all together.

[@MONi_LALA]

Black in the summer in 100 degree heat is a no no, high risk of heat stroke gurl

[@ta3970]

I love black and navy together, also dark brown and black.

[@eileengleeson7851]

Grace Kelly vibes very elegant ❤❤

[@dianayuningtias6665]

Im still in love with you said "outdated style" and still using it

[@judis6224]

Agree with dark colours in summer,same with wearing boots in summer.😊

[@lauraalba7151]

I need the belt Without it I just don’t feel put together

[@natsinternetdiary]

you’re probably the most knowledgeable fashionista ive seen tbh

[@dammar117]

Those three matching leather items actually looked much nicer.

[@guerralg63]

I usually cringe at these types of videos, but I like these fashion rules rebellions because they actually are very pleasing to the eyes. ❤❤❤

[@mettana1]

I too agree with the 1st one...as I have a limited budget,most of my clothes are H&M ,Zara etc...Many of them are 10/15 years old and still in really good condition,even still on tren❤nd

[@Miranda_mo]

Dont look at the brand, but the fabric composition. 100 per cent, this is my golden rule for buying clothes! When it comes to very simple basics, I have got some brilliant pieces from Asda! As long as it is 95-100% cotton and fits well, Asda is actually my go to for some simple basics.

[@KristySherrod]

I often do a nude leather shoe with black leather and with the right outfit it works great!

[@MCD613]

Share more info on how to choose quality fabrics!

[@bethdelmonte-catanese6925]

A very chic NYer once told me that black and navy are meant to be together and I agree. I always feel more put together with this combo!!

[@nylapierce1719]

Cindy Crawford said she loved to wear navy, black and white together.

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

Actually, I liked the striped shirt/white pants with matching belt/shoes/bag, and I liked it the other 2 ways..it all looked good and gave the outfit 3 different looks.. I'd say 'not instead of' but also wear option. It looks more formal with the 3 matching, and more casual with non-matching accessories ...a classic timeless look 👍👍

[@Zan-y9l]

Style lessons with Lydia are my fav… be it 1 piece 5 ways, Fashion Math or a Style lesson video! ❤

[@jklmnop2288]

can you please make a video explaining different types of fabrics and how to style them?

[@CatPower100]

Try to vary the textures of the prices you are wearing. This adds visual interest. Look to classic outfits for inspiration. E.g. A tweed suit with a fine cotton blouse and a silk scarf.

[@joanneglas4851]

Phew thanks… I do not go by what people say you cannot do But what I want to do that makes me smile. Great success to you x

[@lindsaymcpupps2615]

Hi Lydia I'd rather see darker colours in summer, than cheap looking bright colours. Love black n navy x

[@luxbbyg9082]

Please share where everything is from!! Especially the black and white trousers 😍

[@hacialatrascendenciaascenc7295]

…Classic, elegant and sophisticated will always be great! No matter what the new fashion’s eyes percepcion says.. 😊

[@frankie9754]

i agree that people shouldnt feel constricted to match all leathers, but the “new rule” introduced here that matching them all looks bad is not one i plan to follow. all black leathers can look great. perfectly matching browns might be a lot for a casual look, but browns of differing shades is gonna be harmonious without being conspicuously matchy

[@susie9893]

Didn't expect to like this but was actually very practical. The only thing I'd point out (and this is probably cos I'm Aussie and you're British) is that wearing dark colours in summer can make you feel hotter (having said that, my base colour is black - I just try to make sure my top half is lighter as this tends to be where I'm most exposed to the sun when I'm out and about)

[@Giannina-LoveThemAll]

Matchy matchy! A 90s kids' struggle 😅🫠

[@Adedoyin_Ogbiye]

Can you please do a video on matching belts with bags and shoes?

[@User24cheese]

I like wearing oudated outfit 😅 Sometimes some of my friends or colleagues follow my trend too!!

[@kimia1664]

I think it looks really nice when you match your leathers. Of course it isn't a must.

[@Dandelion_flight]

I have so many tops and bottoms not from high street but they last me years. Beautiful and durable fashion don’t have to be high street at all! I get compliments every single time I am out. I am 51 (look 35) but the compliments come from young people in their 20s and 30s. Even my 19yo son says I have very good fashion sense and nothing I have is high street! 😇😇😇

[@tammydeplata2526]

It's great to hear that brand should not be prioritized over other more important criteria like fabric 👍

[@soraiabranco8687]

Black and navy is gorgeous and sophisticated

[@janekihm5119]

I love love black and navy. It’s classic 🖤

[@SandraFelipe-e4r]

Thank you, love your style. Great tips.

[@unicornus33]

The matching leathers was surprising to me, but I agree

[@draugno7]

I love to match shoes, bags and belts, with no intention to look posh, I just like the cohesive vibe

[@Kelly.perrin]

Well even tho you CAN wear dark clothes in summer you still should have light colors becuase dark takes in more heat meaning it will be super duper hot. This is comeing from Someone in texas also just wear what you think looks good on you or what you want

[@margaretinsydney3856]

Yup, you convinced me about black and navy a while ago. Now, I wear it all the time. Thanks!

[@sherileenlambert2784]

I so agree with you. The fabric is so important. 💯. 😊

[@Wudup]

I'm really excited to hear that you don't have to have a belt with belt loops for some reason I do not enjoy belts very much. Sometimes they really finish the outfit. I really like not having to match your bag and your shoes and I used to not like navy and black, but now I think it really is chic. I also like brown and black. Another one is not wearing white after Labor Day. I'm so glad winter white is in that reminds me the other one is white and cream or off-white used to be a no-no but now it looks really good

[@bonolomashungwa1399]

Outdated looking good and comfortable

[@Sheila-hn3zt]

I look at the sale rack and if garment looks crisp after being around a while, may be good buy.

[@basaksungur9068]

As a virgo it's my passion in life to match my shoes, bag, watch and nail polish (and lipstick when possible)

[@StyledbyDezzi]

Thank you for the fashion tips ! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@MasterofScrutiny]

Black and brown look good together too.

[@salimouche3945]

Im keeping the advice on not wearing dark colors in the summer it makes you feel hotter when it’s already so hot

[@SheIsFearfullyWonderfullyMade]

As someone with a merchandising degree, I approve the message for number 1. Just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean it’s high quality

[@kaleyjoplinRAWRR]

I never followed any of these rules 😂😂 wear what you want and like!

[@zsanettangyal-fekete1969]

Oh... I am only starting to learn about dressing in better style and I really felt bad when my leathers didn't match... Thank you, it feels easier 😊❤

[@luciareisner361]

Carla Rockmore gives very different advice. Brown and blue in particular work well. Blue and black are fine in my opinion. I am not in the fashion industry, but I do see that something is possible.

[@andrearace1168]

I love the look of all matching leather, but I also love the look of thoughtfully breaking "rules". Like if you have visually top and bottom leather are same, and the one that's in the middle is different, I think that can be stylish. (Or similar concepts)

[@namjoonswhite-stripedcrab]

I had on white loafers after Labor Day and a lady came up to me and said, “You aren’t supposed to wear white shoes after Labor Day.” I told her, “I’m sorry you feel that you have to live under such constraints.” She was taken aback 🤷🏻‍♀️😂.

[@cola813]

Black and navy gives out grandma vibes. Grandma chic for sure

[@lynnemann7219]

I love the white trousers! Beautiful!

[@anitamilligan8149]

The reason people did notwear dark colours in summer is that dark colours absorbed heat from the sun. They didnt have air condioning.

[@undercat7767]

Or work in freezing cold offices!

[@costaricawoow]

I will wear and match my leathers. Confidence is the best and sexiest accessory.

[@nwwarehouse9320]

Coco Chanel combined navy & black. I bought several contemporary examples in NYC for my daughter. Bergorfs Goodman for one set.

[@nancyvalentine5923]

Really love your clothes. Definitely can see the quality. What are your favorite stores?

[@Shy-807]

I also add the cost of dry cleaning when I looked at the labels.

[@EG-qq4gw]

I am happy that those rules are gone! It makes life easier 😊

[@IAmPhasion]

RULE #1 don’t listen to people do what you love to do ❤

[@ruizn1986]

Where are your black sandals from?? I love love love your style and tips!

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Anymore is such a key word. Tan shoes and bag was such a thing in the noughties /early teens. Now, it looks dated and try hard. Viva La fashion! Ditto black and navy - looks delectable especially with the pieces, shape and proportion here ❤️

[@solegr8]

Keep shining with your incredible style! ✨

[@LolaMento69]

I don't care, i wear black in the summer - I wear exactly what I want, and what I feel good about ☀️😊

[@shirozei2334]

Not wearing dark clothes in summer. If its humid and hot it feels hotter if you wear dark clothes i cant explain it very well 😅😅😅

[@JenMaram63]

Obviously she does not live in a hot climate. Black in the sun absorbs the suns' heat and makes you heat up. Lighter colours, particularly white absorbs less heat.

[@SandraBacon-k1d]

It’s very difficult to break those rules but I’m committed to baby steps. 🤦🏽‍♀️

No one should never make light of the fact/thought that you are going to hell, it is a horrible place of torment that not even your worst enemy you wish to be in.

[@ramonara2]

Love your first top🥰

[@cs4887]

Regarding the leathers: I think the main rule is don't mix black and brown leathers 🤷🏻‍♀️ but if you have a piece that is a different colour, say white, yellow or pink or wtv, then it you're free to choose!

[@user-nm6dr4uy3d]

I'd love to see a video on how to create a trendy outfit only using accessories.
