Slow fashion style lessons I learned this year | Low buy chat

[@brifren2]

Bonjour Signe, I'm from France and these are traditionally our main wardrobe principles: - buy only what you need and what suits you and your lifestyle, - choose quality over quantity, - choose items that you can keep for a long time, - less is more, - be presentable, chic and comfortable at home too. - take care of your wardrobe items (and what you own in general) This is what my beloved parents taught me many decades ago on this topic, and I've loved applying their guidelines all my life. Whenever I tried to disregard them, I regretted it! So I'm always delighted to hear your principles, excellent advice, and see that you are never judgmental. Being mindful of the planet, its resources and its/our/our children's future is also always on top of your list and I love this. You are doing an excellent job! 💌💯

[@gaily1980]

Presentable, chic and comfortable at home too… I like this, what does that look like for you?? Many thanks 😊🙏🏻

[@Lindy88888]

Merci ❤

[@glamdragon]

I work from home and would love to look presentable, chic and comfortable and not like a hot mess. Any tips are welcome! 😃

[@moumitadeb9337]

Great tips 👍

[@wendyduncan9084]

I think French people approach clothes like food. It’s a lifestyle not a diet. If you choose something that is true to you then it will do all of the wonderful things. I too love taking care of my clothes. I’ve always found it soothing in a hectic life. Please correct me if I have misinterpreted the culture. I’m from the south and have never lived in France. My grandmother made formal gowns and wedding gowns so I was taught respect for line and quality from a very young age. Applying to myself has been a journey. I think presentable could be a white tee shirt that fits beautifully and a strand of pearls. It could be a cozy sweater with a scarf or earrings. It could be a silk shirt and jeans. What do you actually like to wear?

[@trudiroach]

Love this. My biggest takeaway from last year for myself is BUY BETTER QUALITY! I realize everything that no longer works for me, is worn out or just doesn't hold up to my style is Lower Quality, the things I totally compromised on!

[@UseLess_dk]

Oh yes it makes such a difference on so many levels!

[@AlexLouiseWest]

I agree, although in my case it almost always has to be second hand, for financial as well as ethical reasons. It's better to have preloved good quality items than brand new rubbish.

[@trudiroach]

@@AlexLouiseWest I guess I should have written "focus" on better quality.🙏🏽I agree, doesn't matter if it's bought, borrowed, gifted or thrifted...better quality always looks better than new and cheap!

[@AlexLouiseWest]

@@trudiroach You are absolutely right.

[@sarahhansen762]

I agree completely.

[@deborahgraham4336]

Previous years, like around 10 or so, have all been low-buy or no-buy years due to economics, lifestyle, and health. This was the first year that I was able to make it a high-buy year, mainly because most of my wardrobe consisted of pajamas and yoga pants. I took the time this year to really delve into my personal style, my body type, my colouring, etc. I planned out what I needed and checked on what I had and made a comprehensive list. I then went off and started to fill that list. An example would be jeans. I didn't have one pair at all. So I bought two - one distressed and casual and the other a dark wash and more formal. I also wanted a blazer but finding a good quality women's plus size blazer in small'ish town Alberta was quite the challenge. I ended up finding a tweed, moderate quality men's blazer at a second hand store while visiting a larger center. In this manner I've been curating my closet. I've given away a lot of the things that didn't suit me or did not fit. I've stashed away a tote of clothing to try on next spring and decide on then. This year my biggest take-away has been that finding a style, cut, etc that works for you can not only elevate your look but can also elevate your sense of self. Dressing in a way that makes me feel confident has been a game changer for me.

[@heathermaclean7704]

I can totally relate to your comments. I also spent time currating my wardrobe and hunting for some key pieces to complement what I have. I live in a smallish town in BC but recently found an amazing full length wool/cashmere wrap coat from Pringles of Scotland that fits perfectly, in a consignment shop here in town. And, I've stopped impulse buying. That's been my biggest accomplishment.

[@robinduggins2561]

I don't but clothes but I do buy fabric and sew my clothes and many of your ideas work in this world too. Quality fabrics, proper techniques and instead of buying a new pattern all the time I prefer to make changes to existing patterns. I can take a favorite tee shirt pattern and adjust the neckline, lengthen the sleeves, make it more boxy or fitted, cropped or longer. I can take many patterns and change them up to look completely different. Your content even helps people like me because it can be overwhelming with new patterns coming out every season. Find your style and be true to yourself so you don't end up sewing things you never wear. Thank you.

[@wendyduncan9084]

I love that you create practical art for yourself. I mostly sew quilts now but you have inspired me to go try a shirt or a skirt or a sundress. Lol so many beautiful choices. Nothing beats a dress that was made for your body. 💚💚💚

[@lookforward2life]

This is real, so real. And fabric too, I ended up in that rabbit hole, well both of them, as well. You rock it, sew it, learn, grow, and appreciate what you’ve made and yourself 💕

Thank You for this challenge. I participated with You. My biggest lesson is: keep Your clothes always clean, ironed, repair- just ready to wear. I’m messy person and my wardrobe has always been chaotic. I also understand That I don’t feel good in neutrals but in rich colors.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I never found a pair of jeans that even came close to fitting me, despite 50 years of looking, buying, then rejecting them, I’m 62. I recently had a new idea - I tried a pair of men’s. They fit perfectly! But, they don’t have the feminine styling like the smaller, higher pockets that women’s have. So, at least I have one basic pair, in a darker denim wash, if necessary for the situations where nothing else will work, like clearing or walking through brush, but mostly I have worked around this problem all my life with stretchy or silky trousers, skirts and dresses. (I have a straightish shape, with skinny hips, bottom and thighs and a poorly defined waist). One pair of jeans enough, I haven’t cleared brushy areas for decades, anyway, since a back injury. But for bonfires or campfires, rustic barbecues or other outdoorsy-type occasions, jeans are the most appropriate option.

[@beautyamongashes8378]

I have a very similar shape and I love the Levi’s 70’s high skin straight. They are so nice! Feminine details but with a more straight silhouette!

[@kriddi2]

You inspired me to do a low buy year too and I'm quite proud of myself. My main problem are impulse buys when I feel I need some kind of treat. Still working on it....😇 but I've learned to question certain buys more and take some time to think about it in advance. Thank you so much! PS: That colourful sweater looks great on you.🥰

[@UseLess_dk]

Well you know what, I’m proud of you too! The first steps are the hardest but you’re already on the right track 🥰

[@siaeva]

It's clear you know your stuff when it comes to colour, the sweater suits you perfectly! The last point really resonated with me, it's exciting to add something new to your wardrobe but how much of a difference will that piece really make overall? I feel like nothing I could buy from now on will make much of a dent so it's time to stop buying and work with what I already have.

[@wrendor9465]

I have been on a low to no buy this year. Learning to spend time with my clothes, shopping my closet has made me much more creative than I was already. Thank to you and a few other influcers. Thank you for this content Signe!

Buy quality and take care : one of my favorit item is a wool jumper that is now nearly 30 years old : it is so soft, warm and the quality you can't have now...each winter I am proud to wear it and get compliments about it's gorgious green color....

[@margarethoughton6288]

Using a wishlist has definitely helped, but I agree, a week or so is not long enough. 'Cost per wear' is the way to go. I have often thought about this after having an item, but need to think about this much more before buying. Thanks for the reminder x

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Putting more time and attention into our wardrobes before buying really pays off. I have hurriedly ordered items without really thinking them through, only to discover I already bought the exact same item! During the lockdown, I was just ordering things a bit thoughtlessly because I felt I needed new things to break up the terrible boredom and isolation. I wasted money and resources, I realize now, but I try not to blame myself too much because the shopping did help me get through a very difficult time, I was completely isolated for more than two years. But, I’m working on eliminating this type of unhealthy reaction to difficult circumstances. (Unfortunately, I had to stop my essential daily walks during lockdown, which really contributed to the depression that led to the shopping binge).

[@bellebb8673]

I think that was a very common reaction during the worst of covid; fear, boredom, isolation, and anticipation of scarcity are tough to fight! The one thing that helped me stop the cycle was being a volunteer in the Moderna study. Those scientists were so inspiring, and it was so rewarding! Im hoping to join an RSV study next. Helps refocus my buying impulse by feeling more purposeful!

[@calmblueocean1177]

the “high contrast” principle truly works. I now have “pandemic white” hair, which I love. No more hair dye, just a great cut. That said, black & white look fantastic on me now. I found that the red/pink spectrum and turquoise are great as they bring a healthy glow to my skin. Now I stick to the high contrast b&w with pops of color. I’ve been able to donate clothing items that don’t meet my style. That was a big clothing pile I donated. With those non-complimentary pieces gone I was worried at first. But now it seems I have so much more to wear. I feel like I have more room in my closet and more to wear, strange but true. ❤ love your channel. Thanks for great advice.

[@sherryjackman9680]

It was good to finally learn your name, Signe. I wondered what it was. Sustainability is always great. A lot of my wardrobe was purchased at a consignment shop. I also know how to sew and look forward to making my own clothes to add to what I already have. A couple years ago I took an old black wool jacket and added silver ribbon to the shoulder seams,, side seams, and top of pockets. Than if found some buttons to add more flair. It was styled with a single button closure, but I bought 2 extra ones that can be worn with it as add-on later when I shrink enough to wear the jacket with front folded over. The buttons are a great style with a pearlized light interior with what seems like a silver braided type exterior edge. then I bought matching smaller buttons to add 2 on each sleeve as if they had been there already. Another fun garment a friend helped me with was to take a thin silky like navy blue skirt to which we added multiple very long scarves sewn horizontally around the skirt, into something inspired by Vogue magazine. I actually wore the scarf skirt on a trip to an art museum with a nephew of mine back n 2019. It was a big hit with museum employees, as you can well imagine. I am so thankful for your ethic of buying and using less. I get turned off by KZbinrs who have a closet as big as my one bedroom apartment. I am 78 and have a great sense of my own style and look forward to enhancing my wardrobe, while getting my weight back down to where it should be. I have a black silk tuxedo I bought in 1984 and had lost enough weight to be almost back into it. Thanks so much for being you, Signe, and I look forward to more of your posts on here.

I used to buy out of boredom but now I just change the way I pair my pieces and I dont really need anything,which is very good for budget and environment! Love your video😊

[@suzanner3894]

I definitely agree about spending time with your wardrobe and really thinking about what looks good. For me, it was something as simple as discovering that only v-neck or scoop neck tops really look good on me and now I take a pass on some shirts, while lovely, would not flatter me. I suspect I will save a ton of money with this one discovery.

[@jacquelinea8224]

Hi Suzanne, I also feel much better in scoop, square and v-necks. I've known it for years, but felt compelled to try crew necks because they are so popular with influencers and look so good on them. Then I took the Kibbe body type quiz and it confirmed so much for me. I'm not concerned about adhering to it strictly but it's definitely made me more confident to go with my gut. Have you taken the quiz?

[@suzanner3894]

@@jacquelinea8224 No. Never took the quiz. Learned what looks good on me by trial and error.

Great video Signe, thank you for doing the challenge and sharing you insights! I would say my biggest lesson has been to keep some things instead of getting rid of them (sell or donate) because I might need them again. Body fluctuations and fashion fluctuations often go in a circle...

[@missmegs37]

i agree with adding more color! with all the neutrals in my wardrobe, ive been feeling very bleh. so a hint of new colors has really made my mix and matching more fun

[@amyli092]

I absolutely agree that contrast dressing is arguably the only thing that's needed when you have a capsule wardrobe! It just makes putting together certain outfits more simple and streamlined. It also helps when it comes to getting more creative with what you already have. Thanks for making this video, Signe! 😊

[@margomarshall6754]

[@bessieoriotis5104]

I like your wearing something casual with something more formal. It's a great idea and has really helped me.

[@jacquelinea8224]

First off, thanks for pronouncing your name at the end of the video! I've been wanting to refer to you correctly, so much so that I did a Google search on the correct pronunciation. That narrowed it down somewhat, but there were several versions. 😊 This idea of contrast dressing fascinates me. The first time I heard the concept was during our colour analysis. I think you were referring to a sightly different application then, but I've heard you use the term several times since. It's a new way to think about dressing. I hope you will continue to educate us on this concept.

[@elena_a-2023]

Thanks for this video. Great tips. I started to buy less but better quality items. I didn’t have that many clothing items to start. Now, I think of capsule wardrobe and I have neutrals to start with. I am adding color “little by little.” I was (and am) inspired by your channel. By the way, this is a great color for you!

[@conniepleasantnails]

Thank you Signe, I have recently learned the concept of Contrast Dressing. I really didn’t realize there was a name for it. I too love solids and found myself looking very monochromatic. So I have added texture (lace blouse/textured sweater), shape variation (like a boxy sweater or high low hemline on a top) to help me look like I tried. I also have started paying attention to necklines and sleeve shapes. The boot thing has been very difficult this season. I have ordered one pair of boots (synthetic tan color) in a higher quality brand. Comfort has been a huge issue for me. So I am really going to take my time to find the perfect black bootie. I have also realized it’s ok for me to have a few extra pair of shoes than I originally thought I needed. It’s been fun learning along the way. I am in my late 50’s and a size 14 (American sizing) so shopping and finding the best brands has been challenging at times. I appreciate all of your hard work in helping with your great videos & insight. It’s helped me put things into perspective when I feel stumped. 😅❤😊 Wardrobe Hugs to you 🤗👖from California

[@clairemontgomerycampbell5261]

Love the colour of your jumper! 😻

[@patmartin9727]

I too try to find items I want second hand, his enables me to afford better quality that I know I will love and will last in my wardrobe. I allow myself a budget of £50 a month which I allow to build up between purchases. I tend to stick to certain brands that I know the fit and size I need. I also have a wish list on my phone and am happy to wait until I find the item I want. I buy very classic styles and also love vintage pieces so I am not chasing this seasons trends.

[@rachelmallory3734]

Love this - I think it is important to give yourself time to buy an item instead of just rushing out and getting one that is close or almost what you want.

[@raquelkutsch5600]

As I’ve gotten older I wear less black especially close to my face.

[@annaklaus8377]

Agree with everything. I've just deleted items off my wishlist l, they became irrelevant surprisingly fast (6-12 months). And I hear you about sometimes having to go for new items from conventional brands, if it means you get lots of wear out of them. In the past I've bought several items from sustainable brands, or second hand, to fill a wardrobe gap, even though they weren't quite right, and regretted the waste of resources and money later on. You've got to mix different strategies to reduce your consumption, different things will work for different people.

[@HappyLiz123]

Jumper looks fab on you 😊

[@wendyduncan9084]

My biggest struggles are fit because I’m short and accepting that you CANNOT buy time. When I buy something because my life is out of balance it is rarely an item I wear often or keep. I was trying to buy the life I wanted instead of altering the one I was living. Learning this has kept the Christmas season impulses very low. Taking the time to evaluate my body and accept that I want only soft clothes were the biggest wins this year.

[@zhisu2665]

[@bellebb8673]

I struggled with guilt this year about the very large donations I made of used clothing to a local charity. I'm only 4 ft 10 inches tall and lost about 45 lbs over the last two years. Good, right? But major body change, so many of my clothes just were so large they were just beyond altering. I hope all my donations aren't in a land fill somewhere. I read that selling was better to insure that doesn't happen, but I just didn't have the time or stamina to try to sell. I altered everything I could, and much of what I've bought for replacement is second hand, but not always; it's tougher to find quality petite size second hand. And when you lose a lot of weight, it's tempting to buy the new shiny outfit in your new small size. But it's a process, right? Your channel helps! Thank you!

[@lynnfox8376]

I haven't checked in for a while as I was bored with so many neutrals It's great to see you in colour. Will be back to see how you combine them.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Black is a simple option because nearly every item comes in it, but it doesn’t really look good on most women. I don’t like it near my face at all, so I usually try to brighten black tops or dresses with jewelry, a scarf, or a white collar underneath. Black bottoms seem so basic, but I really prefer light colors for skirts and trousers, too. I do wear some black, I just try to keep it to a minimum. Many of the high-quality wardrobe items that I really love, like silk and good leather footwear, only come in black, it’s frustrating. I would happily wear white, taupe and cool pastels to mid-tones all the time, they are my most flattering hues.

[@33Jenesis]

I retire this year. Which means I don’t need workplace clothes. I stop buying blouses, dresses, suit pants, and shoes. It was hard and tempting whenever I saw beautiful pieces and super prices. I did buy a few new casual, active, and athleisure pieces to encourage me to change out of clothes I sleep in. It’s too easy to wear sweats 24/7. I started daily swimming since retiring therefore I bought bathing suits and rash guards to entice me to not give up.

[@amanthichandraratna9361]

Thank you for sharing. The comment about letting something on a wishlist stay on a wishlist a little longer really resonated with me. I am in desperate need of a clutch purse- I bought one in a hurry a couple of year ago, only used it a handful of times and the leather(?) peeled off. This time around I’m looking to spend more so being very cautious and I’ve already flip flopped a couple of times 😂

[@evahalkova2859]

I did purchase new clothes this year. Mostly because I was pregnant. But I tried to be mindful about it, I asked myself always if I am going to use and wear them moving forward and kept stuff in the basket for a longer time before placing my order.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Contrast dressing has helped me so much 👍

[@SarahKotri]

I’d say my biggest wardrobe pitfall now is being influenced by “current” colours vs what looks good on me. When I’m looking at my wardrobe, I don’t gravitate towards those colours that aren’t current even though I know they suit me. Anyone else find this? So I’m often looking for something current to wear and shopping for it. I look forward to your colour series to see if you have any tips about this? Idk, maybe it’s just ignoring social media…

[@lisadavis4279]

Thanks for sharing. I love your style and I have similar values. I am in the process of downsizing. I am not yet where you are. I have identified that I end up loving wearing modern classics in the base colors of black, white, grey and blue. I occasionally add in an item or accessory in pink, red, orange, purple or yellow, however, I end up get tired of these items more quickly. So, I am trying to stick to my base colors more often and buy fewer trend items that last year after year. Keep up the good work.

I moved on a sailboat in 2021 and started sabbatical in 2022. It's definitely forced me into low buy and quality buy. My struggles continue with items that I bought years ago and serve a purpose but don't match clothes well. For example, I bought a SPF lightweight jacket years ago in blues from Coolibar. There's nothing wrong with it and I need sun protection. But it also doesn't match or fit well with tops.

[@saltedcaramelmochi6997]

What I learned last year was that I should avoid impulse purchases especially if it's something different from my usual style. Is it a good addition to my wardrobe or is it just the urge to reinvent myself (which I usually regret). Also thinking about how many of my current clothes I can wear with a new item. If I had to buy more new clothes to actually wear it, I shouldn't buy it.

[@kelseyv527]

I’m learning that I can rewear the most crazy item like a leopard print skirt ,in my wardrobe as long as I love it! Another thing is I can get a lot of wear out of something that is so casual, but I would like to define it more and make into something that looks more cool and effortless. Like maybe sweats that look good with a long jacket for instance. Another thing is I’m almost allergic to jeans, but I can’t quite grasp the concept of skirts, so I need to find better constructed pants/ slacks and I’m thinking Sézane has something close to what I like as far as style( I have an older style for my age) , but I’m not sure how sustainable it is or should I feel guilty trying something that I’m not sure is the right thing for my wardrobe ? I don’t have an extensive wardrobe, and I’m looking for good all year or a small ten item wardrobe that I can love for years to come. I have a tough time with tops, but love sweaters. How do I marry the two so I end up loving a good top?

Thank you for this video ! It is very motivating to see you reflect on the topic. As someone who moved to a more warm city I learned this year to have more balance in my closet season wise and let go of things that I had to much of for this climate... so that if I move again I will not feel again that my wardrobe can not serve me. I still have the four seasons but the spring is a bit hotter and the autumn and winter more mild... so I had to make a few ajustements here and there especially regarding footwear. Style wise, I was always a bit soft classic and a bit romantic... but I find myself leaning more towards soft classic. I am enjoying also more color than I used to and I definitely found that I prefer navy to black. Also I learned and experimented how much footwear can change or elevate an outfit. Thanks again for your work ! Thank you for sharing it with us ! Thank you for your activism ! Kisses and hugs from Marseille, France.
