Summer 2024 Fashion Trends I Hated But Now I LOVE!

[@charlottejohnk6712]

You gave me a great idea! I’m going to get a couple bandeau tops for wearing under my vests for that bit of coverage I’ve been needing. Plus the polyester lining on the tailored vests can be uncomfortable and I’ve been wondering what to wear under them that doesn’t disturb the look.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Great idea!!

[@nadinephillips2756]

You look amazing . Unbelievable you are 57yrs..no way!❤

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Aww thank you x

[@stellacollins3114]

Not even watched full video yet but I LOVE those metallic denims ❤

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Same!! The wide leg pants are the best!

[@rainrabbit9209]

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Perfect!

[@bognarossy9033]

Bermuda shorts are stunning ,bought white in Zara and love it 💕

[@Thestyleinsider.]

So good!

[@isolinaaustin1108]

Sometimes I think women can actually age themselves by sticking to the style rules. I feel if you look good in it and you feel good in it wear it. I’m going to be 60 next year , people usually guess me around 38 or 39. I believe it’s because I don’t follow the rules. I think you look amazing in the strapless vest. So wear it with pride ❤

[@JosephineJames-x7b]

Agreed. I too don’t look my age and I am 66 live fashion and wear practically anything

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I totally agree and thank you x

[@minorityfringe387]

I agree not to stick to style rules and I am also going to be 60 next year (11 months). No one believes my age when I tell them although I am not getting guessed at 20 years younger like you, I am told I look to be around 10 years younger than I am with people guessing me in my late 40's. I would wear a strapless vest if I found one I loved.

[@melindaferreira9879]

Same..

[@fiorfeliciano891]

[@rosealaska6595]

I am fit 55💪 love strapless tops like u said depending on material and styling

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yay!

[@comkver]

I don't remember you being anti-crochet. But, I'm loving almost everything that you talked about. I just wish I could find a different material for tube tops, they tend to be cotton and fitted. I wish I could find more flowy bandeau. Definitely liked your version of the shiny jean way more subtle.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I think I was anti crochet about a year ago when I come to think of it but I did include it in one of my what NOT to wear videos at some stage - eek!

[@Kkazzo4124]

You look amazing Leonie. Thanks for the video ❤️💜

[@deborahmichele]

Yes to quiet luxury (or whatever they call it. I think your description of it is right on target AND that your description aligns with French fashion. I think they also see the basics as a backdrop for personal expression...), and Bermuda shorts (still looking for the perfect pair), and maybe to fringe and crochet (if I found the right garments for me, yes). Oh, and I LOVE AG jeans! (But no to the metallics for me! :))

[@lorelaimercy848]

Literally thought you were in your 40’s 😍

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Aww thank you! I feel like I'm in my 20s or 30s LOL x

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I welcomed Quiet Luxury because to me it meant exactly what I always loved - classic, elegant styles in top-quality, natural-fiber fabrics. Apparently this term had a lot more negative connotations for most people. I’m not interested in looking trendy, only in being well-dressed, according to my own standards and preferences. That doesn’t mean I don’t like trends, I love many of them, generally the less-extreme, more classic ones. This last year that’s meant collared Polo knit tops and contrast-trim items, in the best fabrics and quality I can find, are my favorite trends. I buy wardrobe items for life, so they have to be as timeless as possible.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

That makes so much sense Kimberly x

[@minorityfringe387]

I have always felt frumpy in burmudas. While I am slim, I am a bit pear shaped and I feel they are not the most flattering on me. My legs are very toned from daily walking and exercising 3-4 times a week and I always thought a mid length short looked better on me. That being said, I want to give them a try again as I have not tried to wear them in many, many years. There are a lot of cute ones out there that are making me think I should give them another try. Maybe there is a pair for me? I was a bit heavier in my young mom days when I tried to wear them so maybe they will fit me better now?

[@Thestyleinsider.]

They def won't be everyone's favourite short but I do think it may be working trying a few pairs on again. Maybe even some of the denim options?

[@CamilleMason]

Yayyy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Nova08able]

I dont like when we say timeless when it is a trend. There are no timeless trends.

[@lindah.8564]

Actually, quite a few trends over the years have become classics, which are timeless🌷

[@pamwalmsley1865]

[@mercedes523]

Hated cropped pants but I love them now. Who knew?

[@Thestyleinsider.]

It's amazing how our fashion tastes can change over time!

[@lisafarmen9367]

I'm sorry, but there's nothing they can do to a Bermuda short to ever look attractive..they are not feminine or complimentary. ESPECIALLY if your petite and or short. I'm 4'11 and 105..even if we can no longer wear "short" shorts, next best thing is mid length shorts, I think like a 3-5 inch inseam. Much classier that shortie shorts, but much more feminine etc than Bermudas..thank you! And i hope I didn't offend anyone..

[@pincopallina9913]

hi Leonie ! you didn't indicate the links to the clutches... I like number 8. Who is it by? In I love your style, but I remain against almost everything you indicated. I'm 60 years old and I prefer clothes that avoid highlighting arms and legs that have lost their tone!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Fair enough and I have added the links now x

[@ayeshachaudhry750]

You look absolutely stunning in denim and black top

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Aww thank you so much x

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Bermuda shorts yes, denim cutoffs no. I’m sick of my fellow Americans love affair with super-short, ragged, butt-exposing denim shorts. I wore those in as a teenager in 1974, time to give them a rest.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Perhaps they're stuck in a bit of a time warp?

[@lindahayden9202]

Loved that you modeled so many of the clothes. 🙂

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thank you! 😊

[@eileencarroll6418]

You have me questioning the meaning of the word TREND. I think it is a word that requires context. And an ambiguous amount of popularity is implied. Also "TRENDING" implies an increase in popularity over a previous period of time. It seems that trends on this channel are pulled from the context of runways and fashion photography, but I am not clear on the frequency or popularity or changes in popularity. I suspect that some style features are called "trends" when in reality, they are fresh style ideas that are showing up in more than one magazine or runway show. So, is that truly a trend? I believe a true trend is when a significant percentage of people within a context embrace a trend. So if 20% of people in an office start wearing washable silk blazers instead of tropical weight wool 2-piece suits, that's a trend. So when you talk about trends, it would be helpful to know the context of the trend like what are women wearing to go to musical theatre performances? What are women wearing to 4-star restaurants? What are women wearing on the streets of New York? How are the trends different in Tokyo, Milan, Sydney or Toronto? I have been fascinated by the YT videos of people walking the sidewalks of Milan's upscale shops. Half the time, I am looking for fresh new ideas and not what's already trending. The other times, I am trying to get a feel for norms and expectations so I don't feel out of place or out of style. It would be helpful to know if those sheer skirts would make a nice party dress for a wedding or if they would look like you were dressed to go to a beach cafe on a tropical vacation. And we should all have an outfit or two ready for a funeral. What is acceptable now? What is the range of trends for business casual vs. formal business? How high can we elevate our outfits to go to the grocery store without looking out of place? Your comments are the most valuable part of your videos. I am asking for a little more advice framed in useful context. BTW, I have never seen a person wearing legless pants or sheer skirts in the wild except at the beach in the Chicago area. But wide leg trousers have been widely adopted. Low rise (muffin top) pants and skinny jeans look out of place and are rarely seen. Leggings are only seen at gyms or when people are outside exercising or playing sports. Neck gaiters that can be pulled up to cover ears or control hair are also popular while exercising. Sun dresses seem to be the norm for grocery and outdoor festivals shopping in summer. Those are the trends I see. I have not been to a wedding in a while. Any advice on what could look elevated without looking like something weird that fell out of a magazine? Thanks for all your commentary. It's a lot of work and it's appreciated.

[@Deb-ator]

Thank you for another interesting and educational video. I have always been inclined towards quiet luxury. It is elegant, timeless, minimalist and most of all, it is forever stylish as opposed to temporarily fashionable..I compare it to wearing a school uniform that I can personalise and jazz up with accessories.. Whereas, no uniform, it's about wealth and rich kids dressing better. Also, one is inclined to buy garments in quality fabrics that are both long lasting and versatile. There are lots of minimalist influencers on KZbin and Instagram who still manage to look unique and outstanding without fashion's bells and whistles.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes I agree there are so many creators that still manage to stamp their own personal style on the look!

[@d.y.e3803]

I'm one who has loved Bermuda shorts since I was a kid. I'm in my 60s. Although the dark blue denim ones that I ordered from Agolde didn't work out as they were too big, I did find a light blue denim pair from Mango by YNG that was great. And also a dark blue denim pair of Astrid Longline Denim Jorts from Urban Outfitters which have also worked out well. It's easy to style them. Plus, they're cool in hot climates. I love those metallic jeans that you were wearing, but they would be too long on me as I'm a little over 5'6' (171cm). And the maxi skirt would also be too long. But, there's the shorter more midi skirt that might work although I'm not thrilled about the drawstring waist look. I like fitted waists with zippers. But, maybe I'll give it a try. Greetings from Los Angeles

[@skihillsandy]

I love my Bermudas, dressed up or down they are flexible for my life style.❤

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Bermudas are the best, right? So comfy and stylish at the same time!

[@motivateu1304]

[@imeldadubloisparker2421]

Hmmmm, for me not the heavy like pajama cut metallic denims for summer...too hot & heavy. I like the sheer skirts.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Fair enough!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Oh by the way the jeans are super light-weight!

[@juanitaleak6482]

I was actually very inspired by this video 😀♥️

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Aww that's great to hear - thanks Juanita x

[@susanma4899]

I don't own many of these. I do have a polo style knit top that could pass for crochet. It's basic and very versatile. I love the idea of bermudas, but I haven't found the formula that flatters me yet. Most people who look good in them have very thin calves and I don't think I do. The key is fooling the eye into appearing to have thin legs--for example if the shorts are at all tight on my thighs it looks frumpy, and where they cut off is key as well. Still trying to make it work.

[@annette6090]

Great video as always lovely!! You haven't linked the items however 😢 I need a good look at those slouchy clutches ❤ Please add them in.......thank you 😊

[@Thestyleinsider.]

[@kaliera]

I love modern crochet in delicate way! ....And even bermuda shorts in your list. I feel it's ideal and chic in hot weather!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I totally agree!

[@DeeDee-44]

3:06 the crotch is half way down to your knees though. I found a pair of jeans like that the other day & put them back. Whilst I like a bit of aeration around the groin, it's a bit Mc Hammer.

[@georgina3358]

Great video, Léonie. I love crochet tops and dresses, not so keen on sheer clothing and I've never worn Bermuda shorts. Perhaps I'll give them a go this year!

[@mikki3961]

No to the see thru trend which I have not seen in real life. I think it is important to dress for your body type and nod to the trends but don't be a slave to them. Your boho top is gorgeous, I love it.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thanks Mikki x

[@debrafirestone861]

Sheer Skirts no way especially for people our age Leoni I’m 65 and not going to wear a sheer skirts

[@Thestyleinsider.]

You've inspired me to style a sheer skirt now so that it's "age appropriate" for us Debra xx

[@majbrittkjaer6134]

The Adidas pants you wear around the 9:30 mark, are those the firebird model, or which model and colour are they? The ones I seem to find here in Europe are either more dark or more bright... 😊

[@lisafarmen9367]

Hi liking your videos! Just found you and I have subscribed. Quick question though; you mentioned OH THIS QUESTION IS FROM THE LAST VIDEO I WATCHED. but I'm sure you'll know; you said pastels hard to wear over 50, however you didn't say why? Unless I missed it..there was also another item you didn't say why either, but darn I forgot what it was..thank you so much! Just fyi; I'm 53, 4"11 and 104lbs

[@Thestyleinsider.]

From memory I think what I was meaning to say but obvs didn't explain myself well enough on that point was that I find pastels so predictable and for this reason I feel they can be ageing. There is often a feeling that as we age and our skin changes colour, pastels are more flattering. While this is true, I feel if you want to create modern, more youthful outfits you need to go a little against the grain and opt for something less predictable. Sorry I didn't explain myself better. It's always hard trying to keep my videos down to a watchable length without rambling LOL

[@analys1422]

I love the fringe, I am a country girl. Regardless I do update these pieces. Luv crochet, the transparent stuff, I’m too old for, but I did wear it back in the day. I collect / thrift antique clutches, I do wear them, but pass them on to my daughter, shortly thereafter. I do luv a good cross body, or slouching bag. I’m 61 & never followed any fashion rules. I wear what ever makes me feel fabulous. That’s becoming more difficult these days, lol. I congratulate you on far you have come along, I’ve been following you for a long time. I’ve seen your growth, kudos to you. A unsolicited advice, maybe do a thrift store haul. Some of your sponsors are way up there in prices. Most of use these days, are unable to afford these items. If you think you may like to offer a cheaper way to obtain fashion I believe your audience may appreciate it. Many blessings & luv to you and congratulations for coming so far in your community 🎉❤

[@melindaferreira9879]

Too expensive for me but I like to see if I can find some similar pieces while thrifting..

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thanks for your comment and I do recognise your name from a long time ago so I appreciate you. I have done a thrift haul before but it was about a year ago now so I'm probably due to do another one. I do try and mix up the brands I feature so there are price points to suit most people in most of my videos. I do often think it can inspire viewers to find more affordable options or even thrift similar pieces perhaps. Anyway, stay tuned for an upcoming thrift haul from me x

[@mybagoftheday1722]

I think your own personal style is fresh and cool, I love the sporty and street style elements you include in your outfits. The outfits are so age-independent that I don’t want to even mention age as an aspect here. Would love to see more of your style, it would be great if you could show different outfits how you style them. Also wanted to mention that the sponsor of this video is a great match with your style, especially because you styled them differently.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I appreciate that! Thank you so much x

[@jdrew5367]

The jean with the metallic that’s done lightly is more appealing to me. Bando top would not work seeing I’m a double D. I don’t care what kind of strapless bra wonder you have when you’re toting around that much boob, I think I’ll keep it to myself. I’m a fan of clutches and also ones that I can attach a wristlet. Don’t like anything hanging over my body. Thank you

[@deniseyounger6004]

Not doing trends. They just confuse me and add junk to my wardrobe. So important to look for clothes slowly and with method and purpose otherwise you get a wardrobe full of clothes that you don’t wear. Lifestyle lifestyle is a key starting point. No strapless tops only works if you don’t have much of a chest🦋

[@jeanmaddison2362]

Yeah but you can occasionally have a little fun and go off course🤣

[@Thestyleinsider.]

It's interesting you say that Denise as I have a D cup but because I'm a giant perhaps it doesn't show as much in a strapless top - not sure x

[@lindah.8564]

Remember there are some trends that become classics along the way. It’s only junk if you purchase low quality junk, so try and purchase some better higher end, classic pieces, and just a few interesting more stylish, mid range pieces that add some personality, and pizazz or you may start looking a bit matronly, and oh dear, nobody wants to go there, especially the older we get. Have some fun and add a bit of sparkle to your wardrobe😉👠👡🥿👛👓👗🥿👢🧣👒💍
