Lydia, I love your style. It’s so classic and promotes sustainability. I have started re-using many of my older clothes styling them in a more modern way because of your tips. I have also borrowed a few of my partner’s old oversized shirts to style them rather than buying more ‘oversized clothes’ for myself. I’m now focussing on less ‘trends’ and more ‘classic’ style clothing if at all i buy. Ive rediscovered my style as I cruise into my late 20s and want to look dignified like you rather than ‘trendy’. Your style has inspired my style and I feel so confident and comfortable (which is my favourite part about your style!) :)

[@TiaBanana]

Would you do a video on how to style a plus size or bigger body? Everything looks great on smaller bodies, but I feel like even the smartest clothes look frumpy on me after the pandemic. Help please!

[@SCJRDF]

Can you do a video on how to style satin midi skirt for winter please? I struggle so much!

[@julietorrico5597]

Hi Lydia, I discovered you in mid summer. I was looking for a way to wear longer, loose shorts. I came upon one of your summer "shorts". I have been hooked ever since. So much so that when I went to an out of town wedding this past weekend, I used many of your styling strategies...neutrals, paired with white trainers, blazers, ivory jeans, tonal dress, shoes and bag, etc. I received so many compliments on "my style" and was shocked that people noticed. The bride commented that I was 4 for 4!! It made me feel good. Dressing simply and elegantly has always been my goal but I could never get there. Thanks for all your help. Keep doing what you do. No one else compares!

[@damarisramsey4729]

I appreciate how all the outfits on this video are very chic and modest. It is very hard to find ideas of things to buy that will make you look smart and sophisticated. Thanks for that

[@alwaysrunning90]

Excellent video again Lydia, how to better style your existing wardrobe mixed with the reality we're going through. Very well done

[@donnamorvay8308]

Love those ideas 💡 and suggestions. I'm in my 60's and these will work to be age appropriate for me too! I live in a cold climate.

[@stephaniekramer5840]

You totally saved me! I never knew what to wear and never felt really comfortable in my outfits because something always felt a bit odd. You and your tips helped me so much with finding my own style 🥰 thank you!

[@rekhakarunaajoodha1992]

I’ve definitely improved my sense of style by selecting more classic and versatile pieces. Thank you for your amazing content which has taught me how to elevate simple items that are already in my wardrobe! Love you Lydia xx

[@AnnamariaCs]

Absolutely loving the knitted skirt swap. What a great idea!

[@cristinamnl6662]

Oh Lydia, always such valuable insights to share, every single time. Thank you and wishing you every success!

[@suefranklin1476]

Thoroughly enjoyed today’s video, using the tonal idea, helps us to use a lot of our summer items that we might, have put away for the winter.

[@ALotofWhatYouFancy]

I bet your other follower is really pleased you helped her out. That's a fab thing and I enjoyed too x

[@amandabee5898]

I love your videos Lydia! You really have the knack for putting things together so well and really appreciate your sharing it. You are so inspirational.

[@celiathirlwall3329]

Another excellent video, Lydia! I always prefer using what I already have in my closet and you've offered some wonderful examples!! You're the best!!

[@simplymillie1613]

Thank you Lydia for this video, love this idea for autumn 🍂 ❤

[@cjack-caldeira3363]

I just stumbled across your channel and love! This ‘shop your closet’ inspired video was very helpful! 4 months after this video was posted and I still think post-pandemic looks are relevant today. Thank you!

[@johnneladderley2474]

Fantastic lesson Lydia as always 😁. The tip of reinventing the Jeans caught my attention, because how in the world do I change up the way I wear my jeans, but as always you broke it down for me and I now have different pieces I can wear with my jeans instead of just a t-shirt. Thank you, thank you so very much for sharing my friend ❤️. You're videos are so very much appreciated Lydia. Take care and enjoy the rest of your Saturday 🤗❤️.

[@janerochfort2134]

You are the best on utube 👍...so many young people try to copy you but they haven't quite mastered your knowledge or class....Jane North Wales...

[@naheedsiddique6206]

Hi Lidia another fabulous video!! You Honestly give me the best idea with pieces I already have in my wardrobe 😘😍

[@ShobizStyle]

Love these tips so useful. Definitely gonna try the tonal styling 💖 x

[@colleenm.6578]

Your videos are exactly what I need. I'm learning about trousers. I'm so sick of skinny pants 😆

[@soniaworley9917]

Love your light brown hair, looking about 18 now, gorgeous.

[@GoodLifeRoad]

Always great content Lydia!

[@sarahlouise3691]

Amazing video - love your style and your tips. Great inspiration here🌺

[@marthaanderson7157]

i love the skirt swap tip!!🙌

[@kerria6882]

Thank you for these ideas to help us kick-start our looks! I always struggle with buying joggers and trousers because I have short legs and thick thighs. I'm wondering if you can make a video on choosing pants for different body shapes?

[@maischut]

I like this hairstyle! It gives you a fresh vibe 😉 Thank you for your hard work

[@bisrib]

Great ideas, very classic, and also help to live sustainably. I very much appreciate all your videos:)

[@viviennepayne7966]

Great ideas for post pandemic dressing , We are going into Spring in Australia but can apply same principles.

[@marciamachado6557]

Loved all! Great vídeo! Thank you!

[@losingmychic]

Love this Lydia, great ideas. I have noticed for myself, following one of the rules in your previous videos, that the beige knit skirt with a slightly shorter trench coat and the black taller ankle boots means you are chopping the bottom half into 3 sections, as a curvier woman I think i'd need either a lower boot or a longer coat! :)

[@johanneleroux6076]

Love this video,super helpful!!!!! Thanks a million !!!!!!

[@arghavanamin2614]

your videos are so great and informative 🤩👍🏾

[@janeburgess8624]

Loved this video Lydia . X

[@orangeblossom1712]

I love the knitted skirt with sneakers

[@lolachenault800]

[@victoriameadow1514]

Wonderful video. Just what I was looking for.

[@Ksvjnr]

Thank you most needed lovely ideas.

[@MM-bh6bb]

Love your videos Lidia. I see you from Spain ❤️❤️

[@soniaparraferrandez8293]

You are an amazing content creator!

[@karelmillard9854]

Great video! Thank you! ✨♥️

[@yuhansungscoffee4565]

Go go Lydia 🎉🎉

[@lavernnestory4963]

Love this style very classy. Is it ok for white in fall/winter?

[@josalmon4742]

Like your hair, Lydia. Also, all the outfits look great.

[@silviasauc8570]

Great tips! Congratulations

[@Lajibolala4u]

its really helpful and i love it

[@rosemarygannon3394]

I would love your ideas on how to style the off white/black BOTTEGA lug boots. They are all over the high street even Primark have them. I am only 5'3 so not sure if I can wear them.

[@joanwalters4741]

Very good advice. Thanks💚🌟🌟🌟

[@poppyseed7938]

Great video thank you so much 💚

[@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11]

I absolutely love your videos. You have such great style. Your friend🇺🇸

[@Sara-tp6zd]

Always so excellent

[@christinebowes2528]

I started watching your channel. Few weeks ago. I think you offer some good tips. I live in a small town not in the UK. I notice many people here do not follow any kind of trend and can look quite scruffy. ( women in pyjama bottoms for example). Can you talk about how to put a wardrobe together for this small town living. By the way we’re heading into our fall and winter season and temperatures will get down to between minus 25-40C. Fashion boots won’t work here as well as any kind of heel due to snow. Thanks

[@kladiolaberdufi2328]

your monochromatic ''beige/green'' was my favorite one >D

[@maggiemarhoum2488]

Great tips 👌 Thank you

[@francinepuskarich5755]

Great tips❤️😊

[@rabbitlissa]

Hi lydia, can you make a video on accessorizing with jewelry?

[@christinekelly-rose303]

Luvn your more fitted looks :)

[@elireksten9087]

Where do you buy your slouchy trousers? Love them.

[@charlottewood4789]

'Panic buying a fancy top' really spoke to me!

[@annafitzpatrick548]

Great ideas here. Love your hair - gives edge to your look. X

[@davichg816]

Not related to your video which I truly enjoyed but I was eyeing your plant behind you, what is it called? Thanks ✨

[@rileypetty7175]

Hey! I think it might be a eucalyptus tree. I was eyeing it too 😍

[@ginamihailidis4444]

I absolutely love your channel and you.You still have a kind of echoish sound but the space is lovely.

[@flaviofernandeslima5770]

VERY GOOD QUEEN.

[@kanaan7889]

Does anyone have anymore suggestions for knitted skirts except the one in the description please?😍❤

[@Planeta007]

Спасибоооооо! ❤❤❤

[@dbee8670]

Lydia, I’m glad to see you wearing to Charles and Keith boots. I’ve been buying purses from them for years. A really terrific brand that’s not very well known. Another great video from you. You’re the best on KZbin.

[@robynwells8249]

I’m a teacher, I like to dress smart casual/ business casual. My clothes must be comfortable, presentable and washable-we have a no jean policy. I love the trouser/slacks, trainers/ sneaker look but can’t seem to get the balance right. Comfy, walkable, on your feet all day, playground tolerant shoes are a must. Maybe a video for the educators? Also a cardigan roundup. It is freezing in my classroom and blazers are a little too serious.

[@lisakear3346]

Consider some thin thermal base layers to help keep you warm

[@evac.7762]

Thank you for the lovely tips, Lydia. You knock it out of the park every time.

[@claudiamelo2653]

Love looks 😘🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷sou brasileira 😍😘😘

[@francesmarcus8621]

Lydia the boot colour is Olive I believe...

[@elizabethhill2923]

I never wear sweat pants . I like cotton pants for the house or a causal dress

[@styyle310]

California style dressy us jeans and a nice top. So done

[@korrina23]

All this looks are nice but more for UK I think, they don't really go for Romania for example

[@fafaasad4895]

😍🤩❤️

[@andreabentham4135]

The colour is khaki

[@alphafe1621]

👍💖💖❤️❤️💜💜

[@mariajosetorres1863]

Sorry. Y don't understand
