I really like your emphasis on simple, minimal silhouettes and details. As a much older woman, at 59 years I am finding that simple, architectural and bold contemporary cuts in good fabric is the way to go, including jewellery. I still have pieces from the era of 90s minimalism, and they're looking very current in my wardrobe. All I'm needing to buy is to update a few accessories. I appreciate your links and ideas for places I don't usually shop in.

[@pisilon2181]

Clutches are elegant but very inconvenient, imagine going to a cocktail party holding a drink in one hand your clutch on the other and you need to shake somebody’s hand😂

[@AFD25627]

Same reason don’t like clutches, although they look smart but just not practical! And it’s just easier to leave it and forget it somewhere whereas anything with a strap will just stay on the shoulder!

[@frenchmanila]

i agree! i love a bag that doubles as a clutch but not a clutch alone lol! otherwise you get stuck doing t. rex handshakes 😂

[@petite2276]

But can't you just put the drink down, then shake someone's hand?

[@pisilon2181]

@@petite2276 sure you can but if there isno place to put it down

[@RE-xv9fp]

Shake hand? People does that still? Oh no no, I stopped with that since covid. I refuse and go like "Ah since covid I don't shake hands". Actually not many offers their hand these days and the few that does makes me feel almost offended for being so inconciderat lol But then I had OCD long before that and hated touching peoples hands so this is a nice out for me now🙈

[@SP-ek1pp]

I love your style and started revamping my closet. I’ve purchased a few of your selections and I love them. I’m 67 years along and have been told lately that I’m looking quite chic so thanks!

[@deborahcurtis1385]

Be mindful that if your skin is darker, then you can easily rock the brighter colours and look fantastic. Likewise, if you're tall and slim you might want more dramatic styles, and some of them can work for you in a way that the others won't work.

[@AFD25627]

Very rightly said! Vibrant pinks/ purples can look so good on darker skin tones!

[@chilyn5]

Exactly ❤ Also personal taste plays a major role in style

[@katherinelawrence1608]

=Agree across the board, and then you show the beige metallic that your grandma would wear and I low key like it! AND I follow you not to conform 100% but to listen to your views and shape them within my lifestyle, needs, climate, age, and profession! So, I look at your slouchy bags and I think a perfect addition to get me out of my rut! I'll keep my grannie bag, and I'll explore a price-per-wear slouchyversion for fun! Well done Lydia! (does this make sense?) And love that you take a stand and are not wishy washy. Your taking a stand is more helpful than you know!

[@mbh3004]

Lydia you have impeccable taste. It embodies class and practicality. I look forward to all of your videos and shorts!

[@lynnmyrick4045]

I’m always happy when I see that you have uploaded a video! I learn something new every time.

[@nikijay9635]

Stellar, as always. 💗🌿 (This felt like a master class in styling.) Learned so much. Thank you. 🌸

[@tennilledebysingh5819]

I've had a silk snake print midi shirt dress for a while now & I get so many compliments when I wear it, I love it!

[@deborahcurtis1385]

Yes I think it's a great combination. I think she was saying the reddish brown wasn't working for her. But I think the juxtaposition of the snakeskin print with simple lines really works.

[@broccolibabe6765]

It’s practically a neutral ❤

[@lauriejohnson-daley3753]

Cropped trench coats are boxy and can be difficult to style with the right bottoms. Hard pass on them and will always lean into the mid thigh or just below the knee as they allow you to move easily and getting in/out of the car etc is much easier.

[@MargaretHansen-z4x]

Love this! Would love a similar round up of fall/winter shoes. What to avoid and which "trends" will last?

[@cris97ish]

Thank you for all the information and the quality videos you put up there. Keep up the good work!

[@sophalpettit]

I love your style and the concept. Keep it classy. I am 54 years old I went through all the trending and keep it classy saved lots of money rather than follow all the trends. Thank you for your video always great point on keep it classy.❤

[@angelaleishman1570]

Really on point video, Lydia. It's so easy to get overwhelmed with the new season trends!

[@olenkaha8690]

The best and concrete styling tipps come always from Lydia ❤👌🏼🤗

[@dianecyment1715]

I would love to see a video on how you are styling all of these trends in a variety of ways. Thanks.

[@RE-xv9fp]

After being careful with impulse buying I was yesterday so close to buy an oversized suede bomber jacket in cognac. It was on sale and last item and I had just pressed "pay" when I was like "Wait, what are you doing? Is this jacket even in your style?! And the colour does it even suit your wardrobe?!" Had to abort it. I mean I loove suede, but a bomber jacket? Its not even my style! So how the hell em I supposed to get "a lot of wear" from it because there is no way I would wear it that often. My style in autumn/winter is like clean cut long wool coats (and down coats). The colour is not subtle at all etc. And its pricy as hell aswell. Ugh Same with suede long skirt I was close to buy. I mean, they look great, but is it even my style and how much wear can I get out of it because suede long skirt sure is a statement piece! Right? Edit: But I did buy two suede tote bags 😅 One in khaki from asos and one in grey. This trend is dangerous. I believe I will end up with several suede pieces this season but I will try my best to withstand😪

[@logicalrealism]

Thank you for showing unless how to style in a timeless manner!

[@charlottejohnk6712]

This was very helpful, you have an amazing eye!

[@Divinenubian]

Great tips. I prefer to shop my closet. I truly wanted a cropped trench, but that is going to date itself, and I already have a ralph lauren trench. 😊

[@ybe7011]

I agree about leopard print. It's not my thing in general. But I'm glad to see how to do it and not look bad. I see so many people trying too hard with this one.

[@cintiamansion6197]

Essa mulher tem estilo. Eu admiro ela 🤩💫

[@mehitabel6564]

A heads up on the olive trend: Me+Em has a splendid merino cashmere ribbed cropped T-shirt in a boxy cut, in dark olive which looks good with slouchy wide-legged trousers.

[@sherryhazelaar4215]

I enjoy hearing your tips - I would like to see more videos like this!

[@janetdaniel9661]

Always brilliant and full of content x

[@split_blonde_spirit132]

Amazing Lydia! Greetings from Croatia 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@Jusstaaahumman]

I have the same Abercrombie jeans in 3 colours. They’re one of the most flattering jeans I’ve ever owned.

[@cindybarraco5815]

Agree… Animal prints look more Stylish as an Accessory , Studded Belts r nice but Not so much on Boots or Bags… U have Great Taste 👌

[@buddleiabee]

18:35 these slouchy drawstring bags look like toiletries bags to me.

[@wendymarrero9010]

Omg amazing job i took noted thank you for helping you are brilliant, informative, professional, excellent

[@sallyflynn-e1b]

Thank you for your videos,I’m really enjoying your tips,I look the simple classy looks

[@lana.omelia]

I really enjoyed the video! I’ve heard some rumors from stylists and saw several trend-setting brands like miu miu that fashion is slowly going away from oversize styles. I definitely don’t think we’ll wear the same things we did in 2010, however we’ll be going in a direction towards more fitting styles. What do you think?

[@sueleitch6396]

Fabulous 👌 Lydia 💕

[@nschoess]

Good suggestions. Keeping it simple. Like the trousers you’re wearing actually.

[@susanfurniss4284]

Thank you Lydia...great trend/styling advice.❤

[@KimberlyPerrotis]

I’m not into the Western or Boho trends at all, I wore those decades ago.

[@Mrs_xixi]

I wasn’t even into that trend back then. Boho doesn’t agree with me at all… 😅

[@user-tc9cp9ew6b]

Thank you, Lydia!!😊❤

[@scrappy6932]

I've been eyeing that Flattered suede bag for a little while now and was not ready to take the $445 plunge - BUT when I saw you feature it in this video, I immediately ordered it. I've learned that anything you recommend sells out very quickly 😅 I got the black as it fits my wardrobe better, but I am coveting the beige - and the grey is nice too. Thanks for your classy style, Lydia!

[@janethothersall8345]

Being terrified of snakes I could never wear anything in that print!

[@NanetteWoolston]

😀

[@MichelleMorris1992]

A thousand times me too!

[@chantastique]

Great tip on the olive color trend

[@juliewesthoff1614]

I loved it. Could you do one on shoes and booties. Maybe how to wear this fall

[@francoisetabor7632]

You're creeping up to 1k subscribers. Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@sherryvanrijn5453]

Bravo, thank you! I always learn and am inspired here.

[@user-st1nm8cf7z]

I love your combo of this Video very much...a lovely drapoed top and a goegious pant in a beautiful burgundy colour😊

[@brandicunningham3648]

This was really helpful thank you!

[@user-dh4si5rs1v]

Thank you, Lydia!!! ❤

[@hurlevents]

To me, the reason why animal prints look cheap when used as clothes, is the fact that real snake leather or leopard skin... are small and thick peaces, only usable on accessories. When used on large peaces, it automatically looks fake.

[@hollyeggert9426]

I bought a pair of burgundy velvet mary jane flats. Would this be good for the trend?

[@vicki3220]

Hey, I love safari style!! 😂

[@lynndupree1205]

Leopard yes, snake no! I'm on the prowl (forgive the imagery!) for a casual fleece leopard hat and matching glove set.

[@merica4realz630]

Great video! I appreciate you ❤

[@LindaDelsnider]

Great advice! ❤🇨🇦👍

[@lourdesgarcia2969]

I loooooved all of it!!!😂

[@bhavnashah4138]

You also have a snake print handbag at the back. 😊

[@MariaHelenaFarris]

Love it! Thank you so much!

[@katarinapetrovic8405]

Nice video❤

[@lorainehitt9977]

There is one thing that is almost an absolute rule with fashion, which is that it does not consider what is flattering on the average body. Fashion is meant to be elite, and for people with above average bodies to wear.

[@lonelyplanet2021]

So true!

[@marykeppen3373]

I love the shirt you are wearing in the video. I can see that piece with so many skirts and pants

[@TheResearchQueen]

Very helpful!!!

[@JacquelineJax]

An animal print dress can overwhelm some frames.

[@patw6158]

I love the olive jacket. It's all about how u style it. Don't care for either pair of marry janes especially the snake. That flat of a shoe is not very flattering on most women especially if u wear a larger size shoe. Love the dark denim for a bit of a dressier jean.

[@FeirinhadaLe_naMeiaIdade]

there are many snakes that are brown as well

[@marieoliphant8305]

I can’t imagine trying to follow “fashion rules”. Especially now, that I’m older. Last thing in life I need is to be told what to wear or not wear. I don’t get it at all. Don’t people normally just get drawn to one thing or another? But because it’s a trend or not? I’m confused.

[@amyhpete]

Yet here you are. I think the title of the video was clear as to its content. Curious…

[@cynch1578]

Thanks Lydia. I’m thinking about a Christmas party I have to attend, and would love to look as elegant as you always look. I don’t want wear a fancy dress that I wouldn’t have use for after the party. Any suggestions would be much appreciated ❤

[@TegavMotran]

Great video. I’m new to your channel and I love your vibe. And, I can’t tell the difference in the two Bottega bags and the LYXBAGS is close enough and it’s cute so that’s good enough for me.

[@nelly8592]

I can't help but most look at your hands. They are beautiful 😍.

[@user-st1nm8cf7z]

And at last but not least the minimal bracelwt that make the combo Just perfect😊

[@coopernutrition]

As always, loved your video. Age 52 here and a college professor. I struggle with the sorts of pieces like the khaki but frilly top that you showed. I personally don't love that piece either, but I could see myself questioning: "Well, it's a neutral and it stands out. Is it a good, current piece?" Wondering if you have a 3 or so question list you should ask yourself about styling outfits (or buying pieces) this season?

[@juhl1692]

Dear Lydia, I love your videos!

[@NanetteWoolston]

Lydia, this is a wonderful video!

[@joannaw8767]

Thnk u! Love ur videos 🫶

[@NanetteWoolston]

I like your shorter trench coat, Lydia! Not double-breasted, no belt, very minimal!

[@kimberlym.9399]

Great suggestions, just wish you had shown the clothing options on, either in an image or worn yourself, instead of just in your hand. Thx

[@barbararupert4774]

Love your style ‼️

[@rurifamelia8549]

Genuine question here: regarding posture when talking, is that better when we have our arms free besides our body or squished to your body? I found it squishing your arms to your body looks weird but knowing her who always speaks what’s better or not, I feel like she knows about this better as well.

[@cinven38]

Wanted to see the crop leather on!

[@kathyesargent9088]

❤❤❤❤❤❤keep it simple thanks

[@minosmagnan1111]

Snake skin print is a classic staple if you are over 30

[@kristinaisaksen4907]

I love the Ninety per cent top you are wearing

[@MichelleMorris1992]

What are your thoughts on a head to toe burgundy monochrome outfit, too much? Or is it good as a monochrome?

[@lynnmyrick4045]

It’s gorgeous. I saw a monochrome outfit in burgundy on the Ralph Lauren site. Stunning!

[@lyndarieder858]

I’ll take fitted over boxy any day. Petites look dumpy in shapeless, oversized jackets and sweaters. I think fitted looks classic in any age.

[@paperchain1239]

Boycott Abercrombie, I cant believe you are advocating it tbh

[@PamelaSavage-kg5jy]

We need a bag storage tour where do you store all your handbags *yutulu*

[@evarkf5303]

I find snake print or real snake skin so repulsive 🤢

[@justinebarton2931]

Me too! I hate any animal print.

[@veroniquefally7685]

What size did you chose for the Arket Bordeaux sweatshirt please?

[@alena7393]

I like this pink trench! Especially I like that it has a belt, as I am very thin and it looks much better with it.

[@nelly8592]

I have a very light pink satin shorter trenchcoat with a belt and I love it too. I never had owned before a trench coat because I always used to hate them - especially in beige 😂

[@glgardener4972]

I like the snake print bag on the top shelf....where is it from?

[@aarushiagarwal8545]

@LydiaJaneTomlinson what are your recommended brands available in US?

[@deborahrice4583]

I realize you're not an American. The jacket with the belts and zippers is a biker jacket, definitely not Western. Bikers are not into horses they're usually into Harley Davidsons. It's a USAthing.

[@gilleancruickshank4434]

Err I think we know what a biker jacket is in Britain!

[@deborahrice4583]

@gilleancruickshank4434 that's good to know was afraid you thought it was western

100 shades of beige and grey summer, autumn, winter.... boooooriiing. She is 20+ but dressing up like 40+

[@hiwedo8716]

I agree with most of what you say, but overall, your style would be too bland for me. The most adventurous colour included here was dark red. Particularly in the dark part of year, a little bright colour does wonders for the winter blues. And, please, stop waving your hands around so much. The red nail varnish sticks out a mile in your otherwise very neutral-coloured video and it is distracting.
