The thing about confidence: when menopause hit, people started ignoring me, to the point that they don't even allow me space on the sidewalk. I don't think I walked without condidence or even changed the way I looked, but I became invisible. Now I have decided not to step away from the sidewalk, but it takes extreme amounts of assertiveness, so people walk by me, not even looking at me for a second, or acknowledging me. I don't feel the fault is with me. It reflects society's opinion of mature women

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

I find this really sad however I do understand what you mean. When I feel like I’m being fobbed off or ignored, I think I take up more space. I feel like that is what we need to do as a collective - take up space and be seen.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I so agree! Somehow we just don’t seem to matter any more. Shops and brands should take more care, we’re the only ones with big budgets to spend! Nit those teenagers who still live at Mom and Dad’s. 🙂

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

This is very true

[@thunderousapplause]

My entire life I have moved out of the way for people on the sidewalk. Not gonna do it anymore. I'm 67.

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

Good stand your ground. I walk and look them in the eye.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I never gave up my matching, more or less, accessories, even when it was supposedly “out of style”. I love the classic, restrained look of a same-color, high-quality leather bag, belt and footwear. I so agree about simplicity, about 90% of elegance is just simplicity and restraint, the rest is about quality, classic styles and well-chosen, personally flattering colors. I’ve always preferred a timeless, elegant and classic look and I think it’s the most sustainable. We get extra mileage from classic, simple wardrobe items, they don’t look dated for a long time, and they’re much more versatile than super-trendy, statement items. I always find a few trends I love, but they are always the ones that fit into my classic style framework. The rest I ignore or perhaps adopt a less extreme version, if I like a trend.

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

Totally agree it simplifies it and makes it less confusing too.

[@samcollage7682]

One element that is never, ever, covered in the videos on fashion suggestions: UNATTRACTIVE LEGS. I have not worn a dress since my wedding 40 years ago. Long skirts make me look tubby. My body shape fits best in boxy clothes.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I agree, fabric/material type (no synthetics - I’m allergic to plastics!) and quality are the most important considerations to me when choosing clothes and accessories. I stopped buying H&M cottons because they’re so cheap they can’t be ironed properly. I can wear and do like plant-fiber based lyocell/viscose/rayon, but quality and thickness are super-important with these fabrics. The thin, cheap ones, like H&M’s, don’t iron well, are limp and pucker like crazy. Nordstrom, and a bit surprisingly, Zara, use good-quality, thicker versions. In high quality, these fabrics substitute well for silk, they share many of its properties like softness, breathability (critical to me!), good “hand” and nice drape. Of course, initially they were called “Artificial Silk”, they were invented to replace precious, hard-to-procure Chinese silk fabrics, which were desperately needed for parachutes, in WWII. Some sharp practitioners still call it “Art Silk”. It’s not silk, though. Only genuine Mulberry Silk is really silk, but some rayons can be very nice. I wear a lot of silk, but the style selection is always very limited in silk clothing. So, if I can’t find what I want in silk, I look for it in rayon/viscose, which is more widely available.

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

Hi Kimberly, This is great advice and great ideas. I agree silk can be limited, though I find in South East Asia it is quite common. That said that is not helpful if you are the other side of the world!

I bought a complete wardrobe, unexpectedly, while in England - all in charity shops. I came home with 5 pairs of linen pants the were £2.50 a pair! No one here in Canada has the same clothes. My base colours are black, navy, dark chocolate, grey and oatmeal. I came home with what I now know would be considered a Tea dress - thanks for informing me! Blouses, sweaters, a handbag, and a scarf...all can be mixed and matched. Loved that trip and my souvenir wardrobe!

I find it so odd that so many 'celebrity' women like to say that there is a magical age where they say they no longer feel pressure to conform to fashion, beauty etc. or other stress situations when this is clearly not true. They say they know who they are, but they still actually conform. The difference is they understand the rules and they helped set them. I believe it is a form of one upmanship, so it is useful for all of us women who want to look good/better as we get older to have the advice you are giving.

Good ideas, but I felt slightly disappointed that all the pictures were skinny, mostly young models, with fake grey hair. My body has changed with menopause, even though I eat a pretty clean diet and get more exercise than I did in my 30s. It was nice seeing you in some cool, classic clothes (and your hair is great!) and the dress examples are just like my very favourite dress pattern, which is super flattering and one I have made at least a dozen times, in different colours, and different fabrics. It's my go-to pull-on dress when I want to look pretty and pulled together. Since many of us "over 50s" learned to sew when we were girls, I'll include the pattern number: McCalls 7381.

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

Hi Rosemary thank you for your comment. The beauty of building a capsule wardrobe for yourself is that you include what you love. I love my trousers long. I’ve had lots of compliments on them too. I do not like ankle grazers for me as they do not work so well for my height. That’s great they work for you though. This is why it is best to not be swayed away from what works for the individual. I have learnt over the 25 years that I have done this job that we all have different interpretations of style and that is what makes life interesting.

The thing I’m learning is that since I retired I do not need as many clothes. Very few in fact. And the clothes I need are entirely different from before. I dressed up every day for work complete with heels, jewelry, makeup etc. The whole enchilada so to speak and I loved it. Now I only dress like that maybe once a week or every other week. I see clothes in the store or online and think “oh I want that” then reality sets in and I remember I just won’t wear it. My wardrobe is a 1/4 of what it was and I’m okay with that. Im learning to dress pretty but comfortable just for me even when I am staying home. I love being retired but wow it’s an adjustment.

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

Hi Lala thank you for your comment. I can only imagine it must be a huge adjustment. But what I love about your comment is that you have taken control of it in a way that suits you.

Yes I remember that too. Mine were much longer then. I just like them very long. It is not for everyone, but so far so good I’ve not had any issues.

Those slacks look ill-fitting and sloppy. Why not just wear a shoe with a small heel to elevate your legs with allows the slacks to hang better.

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

Hi, I disagree; that is the beauty of building your own capsule wardrobe. You can wear what you want, how you want. I do not like heels, and I like my trousers long. If you don't and you like them shorter with heels, you go for it 😊 Oh, and I am absolutely not walking on them.

For years, I would try to match a bottom and top of similar or same fabrics but not bought as a set, and be upset that the color wasn’t an exact match. SO many blacks; SO many navy’s. Then I discovered that if the fabrics were of a different texture, the slight difference in color didn’t matter. If you are trying for a monochrome look and you are buying the pieces separately; then opt for different textures. It looks like a deliberate choice, rather than an unintentional mismatch.

It can be yes, I would say take the advice that suits you best. In addition check the experience of the person giving you the advice. There are lots of people giving advice based on simply their own personal preference, which is fine but it does not come from a professional background. If you’re not sure ask them. But yes do what works best for you. I suggest it because it pulls an outfit together and makes it look coordinated.

Just watched your video. I'm a 'young' 67 and like to dress fashionably, smart and elegant. The tailored look is more my style (especially when I was working). I wear natural fabrics whenever I can, but two things I struggle with....one, being retired and having a dog, I'm wearing mainly casual clothes. The other problem I have is due to a very painful knee injury (torn medial meniscus) I can't 'walk tall' and with confidence anymore as I'm literally hobbling about. It's very frustrating.

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

Hi Hilary, thank you for your comment. Bless you that sounds very uncomfortable. I think more than anything it is more of a metaphor for having confidence in yourself. If you are mainly wearing casual options now to hang out with your dog, maybe look at the recent trend of having tailored looking clothes in comfortable stretchy fabrics that feel like casuals.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Your usage of “shirt” only is correct, and completely sufficient. I’m American and have to say that many of my fellow Americans know little to nothing about apparel. A shirt is an upper garment that opens in front, saying “button-down” is completely unnecessary. Then, it’s mostly misused anyway, 99% of what are called button-downs aren’t that at all. Button-down only means a particular collar style, one that buttons the collar down onto the shirt front. A “blouse” opens in the back (usually just at the neckline). There is also a tendency here to call a fancier shirt, like a silk one, a “blouse” - but they are still just called shirts! I learned most of this terminology from my Mom as a child, but also from my research, I know what apparel items and style details are properly called. Most were established at least a century ago. Most brands, even US ones, usually get the terminology right, but customers don’t notice this. That’s because designers learn the proper terminology in their training. A few brands keep trying to reinvent the wheel every time, like one (Talbots) calling Polo shirts “Johnny Collars”, apparently a name they just invented. Then there are the Chinese brands, who have no clue. One, Goelia, persists in calling midi skirts “half-skirts”, which makes me laugh as I picture a skirt that only covers either the front of the body or the back! I do use British usage a lot for apparel terms, I say trousers, not pants, and even caught myself saying jumper for sweater! The reason is that the British really standardized tailoring in the early 19th C, so their usage became the worldwide standard through colonization and the size and influence of your daughter country in the 20th, the US. The trickiest apparel term is the US “turtleneck”, some British call these “Polo-necks”, which means something else to us - a knit shirt with a classic, pointed collar with a few, often three, buttons. The Ralph Lauren Polo is the classic example.🙂

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

This is always really interesting. I agree that the 'button down' part is not necessary. It is like 'waste paper basket' or 'horseback riding' we just call it a 'bin' which we know is for rubbish and 'horse riding' because it is pretty clear which part of the horse you ride! 😂

69 in Northern California. Really enjoying your advice. I had my waist length very wavy hair chopped in layers a few months ago. The stylist who is my age, told me gray hair makes you look old and tired and so does long hair.🥴 I tried HER way and now I’m done with the wild layered curly style and ready to grow it back out…much easier to style in a braid or up when it’s long! I really love the classic Ralph Lauren style but I can’t spend for the $700 herringbone blazer I adore! I have to wear a lift on one shoe (motorcycle accident at 19). With a 2” difference I cannot wear heels over about 3/4”. Also a large deep unsightly scar on my leg. This limits my clothing choices. I love fall because I can wear skirts and boots! Seems a fair amount of us deal with body issues. Feeling pulled together in spite of our challenges appears to be an overall theme. I look forward to hearing more. ❤

I’d love to hear your take on Rent the Runway or similar sites. Thanks again for your tips!

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

@darrisnelson5223 It is interesting you should say that because I spoke to a lady recently about doing an in person event in Australia. I am in the UK ut have family all up the coast of Cali so it is possible. I am not sure where you are but some of them are in Seattle and Portland.

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

@@capsuleclosetstylist You may have to do a 'road show' haha! Seattle is Washington, Portland is Oregon. We too have family in Oregon : ) I am on the Northern California coast about 50 miles north of San Fransisco in Sonoma County. I have been to England but it was nearly 3 decades ago. I would love to go back... it's such a beautiful country!

[@alyonavantiggelen3906]

Thank you for this excellent video! I agree with everything you said. Getting confidence is probably the most crucial advise of all that nobody else seems to mention. Would just like to add one thing: wear clothes that fit your body well. If they don't, bring them to a tailor for altering.

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

Yes this is great advice. As I say all the time, this over sized trend looks good on nobody. Totally agree 😊

[@leonoravi7662]

Thanks you sooooo much!!! I follow you from the Netherlands 🤩 and i immediately felt more confident after watching this video!

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

Hi Lenora, Thank you so much. I am glad you found it helpful. 😊

[@jenniferday4704]

I like the tea dress idea, Ty. I agree and like just about everything you have said, however the white wide leg pants you model are, in my humble opinion, too long and baggy at the bottom. They would drag and get dirty straight away

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

Hi Jennifer, I have come to realise this is down to personal taste. My trousers don’t drag on the floor but I do indeed like them very long and baggy. If they do not work for you absolutely go for a cut you prefer. 😊

Hi from an over 50 Australian! Love your channel, especially your recent content, and love your style. As my once coppery red hair gets lighter by the year, it is seriously affecting my relationship with colour, and even small changes to my body make a lot of difference to how I feel in my clothes. It's quite confronting and I've been having a hard time working out where to go with it. I'm finally using Pinterest and find it so useful for helping me think about how I might make changes to my style and rediscover my confidence. Thank you! ❤

[@capsuleclosetstylist]

Ah I love it when I get messages like this thank you so much. I am glad you are finding it helpful. Yes it really can make a difference. Take your time with it though and embrace it. See it as a new and exciting chapter where you get to start again. I love Australia BTW 😊

[@nicolecattanach]
