Love these Series 💝 learning so much about the style types😍

Your work is outstanding! Not only are your analyses very helpful (I always thought good clothing/style was due to talent… it isn‘t!), but also the way you effortlessly& eloquently share your knowledge and explain through pictures of celebs is a lot of fun… Thank you so much! Looking forward to all of your videos…

I think is a big difference between styling a thin apple shape than a little overweight one.I don’t think Reese is an apple shape though.

Excellent video

Thank you Erica for consistently excellent videos

I’m from the east coast, I don’t agree with this version at all 👀 and Meghan Markle ???? 😂😂 please!

Im inverted + pear hips 😢

One style that you didn't cover, and I might add is 'sporty'. I wear sportswear a lot in everyday life. Tees, zipneck polos and hoodies in merino, trekking trousers in technical fabrics, padded gilets in winter etc. My 'posh' style is classic and minimalist - no logos, few patterns, mostly black or navy with white, and the odd block of colour.

Love La Marque but it is not pronounced La Marqué but rather La Marque ( no accent).

I love these videos! Thanks Erica!

heyy if you know something about it you could do a video about how to keep your wardrobe clean also avoiding moldy

Very helpful! Thanks

This was so very helpful. I've been trying to figure out my personal style for a while. I've viewed tons of videos but this one helped the most. I like the way you explained many of the differnt styles. I now understand which styles I tend to lend towards. Now I understand a good place to start and what to purge and what to keep. Thank you!!

Wow Erica! You really worked hard on getting us some great stying content. This is so informative. Ty so much..

gosh!! just searched this and so glad your video showed up!! First video that’s actually about wardrobe, that involves everything actually making outfits.. not only about style! love it !!

Thank you

Another great installment of this series 😊

This is fascinating! I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm realizing that there's an entire language and terminology that describes style. For instance in this video you describe the minimal style photo as effortless. There was no belt, no tucking in. I never connected those dots before but it's been really helpful because it shows me that I fall into the minimal category and didn't know it. The thing that's confusing about some of these terms is that even even effortless style requires effort, it just looks like it doesn't. I would love to see videos taking each of these terms and explaining them. For instance what does chic mean and look like?

I can't take my eyes off Angelina Jolie's poor underwear choice - those nipples are right in your face. She seems to dress more for men, not my vibe

Erica's dusty rose sweater is so much classier and feminine than Jessica Alba's baby pink one

David Bowie's 70s leather jacket as on the cover of his Heroes album feels much more minimalist than Angelina Jolie's horrid fitted peplum jacket. Bowie's leather jacket had a collar (not a lapel) a single zip and was simple and minimalist in a way that is not really seen these days except maybe in vintage shops. Angelina looks way too bombshell womanly for me, she seems to dress for men more than women, often emphasizing her curves, not a style I personally aspire to. My 3 style words are simple (rather than minimalist), modern (rather than trendy) and chic (which reflects may style better than classic or ladylike)

Thank you so much Erica for all your amazing content and research, all the examples you showed are so helpful and you really know what you're talking about. I find all your content excellent, I hope your channel goes from strength to strength, thank you so much and best wishes from London to you and all your viewers

Hi - Would you recommend this look for women with a short torso? I have such a hard time with outfits! Thanks.

My measurements are shoulder-46, breast- 40, waist-34 and hips-42 , i don't know where i fall

Maybe I’m not an apple shape. I never show my arms don’t like my legs. I need clothes to fit but as I expand my waist as I get older it’s really difficult. Always do v neck. Also these are very dressy looks and I have a casual lifestyle 🦋thanks for video

For me its a matter of how you interpret the basics. My trench coat is a brown leather suede. My white shirt is a tuxedo shirt. I have ruffles as well as one with pleats. As well as different colors. The fabric can also make it feel different. If a shirt is in silk, satin or velvet for example...Blazers or moto jackets in velvet or brocade. Its all about the cut, the fabric and the color...patterns are also particular to a style, but not exclusive. Romantics love florals and pastels, bohemians like paisley and abstract patterns. Classics prefer stripes and polka dots.

Quick question... Are you using the style terms romantic and feminine interchangeably? Or does feminine describe a specific clothing item whereas romantic describes that style type?

Thank you so much for your helpful advice 🙏🏻🥰

There is no point in being selectively angry. So you don’t believe in buying fake bags, a purchase is a purchase, regardless of the intention. I personally think it's crazy to care too much about how people want to spend their money. I bought real coach, marc jacobs, and mcm. If it's more than 1500, I'll buy a replica *yutulu* . Guess what else I have in the bank, I'm a homeowner and drive a Lexus. I saw someone on CZcams who had tons of luxury items, lived in their mom's house, and was broke

Came across this video and I watched *yutulu* OMG your wardrobe is every woman’s dream! Love your voice and the way you speak

Do you have any specific recommendations for brands of "dressy leggings"?

I grew up in Italy in the 70s. I don't like leather, I much prefer suede, more elegant and chic imo, although delicate and easily stained. I'm on the look-out for a taupe short collared jacket in suede like my grandma used to wear. I live in London and when I moved here in the 80s it surprised me how little suede there is in fashion, and it's still the case. I find leather a bit too edgy but it also has vulgar and even sexual associations, for example the way it is associated with S&M. I love suede bags, belts and shoes, I think they're so classy and I buy them whenever I can.

Excellent vidéo- I think this series will help us understand our style type (s). I’m classic/minimal.

I don’t know why it is full but full flouncy skirts are like cat nip to us pears, however I do agree the fitted skirts slim us down.

I tend towards minimalism in that I like clean silhouettes that are comfortable. I also like some color in my wardrobe and interesting accessories.

I understand now why I can never pull off a black leather jacket! I'm going to try that type of beautiful pink soft leather 😊

This series has been so helpful! I feel like I'm really learning about these style types. I'm thinking about my own black leather jacket that I've had for almost a decade. It's extremely soft kid skin leather and shaped more like a blazer. I can see that it falls in both the minimal and classic types. I love it so much. I wish I could get more use out of it but I've lost so much weight that it's way too oversized. The only way it works is in late fall or early Spring over a bulky sweater. At least now I know what to look for in a smaller size.

Thanks, Erica! 😊

Another great installment of this series 😊

Please give advice for colder weather where one needs to wear sleeves or length or scarves.

Great video and suggestions! Thanks!❤

Loved this video. I’m basically a minimalist with touches of boho (flowy but streamlined , no fussy fringe or busy prints) and sporty (sneakers and sporty bottoms). I’ll add some interest with accessories and color.

I have to say something here. I have only been able to afford so called fast fashion my whole life, but with careful selection and even more careful washing and handling, I have a closet of sometimes garments that are 30 -40 years old. I can shop my closet for any era 😂😂😂

Excellent work. So useful!😊

all the dresses u have recommended r not comfortable. breathing in them is impossible and so is sitting in them. while drew has worn clothes to sit easily and run around easily in. can u please compare apples to apples.

Excellent advice, thank you

This doesn’t help you style yourself when you are a person who dresses modestly, not showing cleavage, bare shoulders, and a lot of leg.

I really felt a sense of relief 😅 when you demonstrated that not all capsule wardrobes are created equal but should be tailored to your personal style. My style is predominantly classic and minimal but there are elements and accessories that can fall into trendy, androgynous, edgy, vintage, and even bohemian style. These are pieces that I love and wear in a predominantly classic elegant style. I’m glad I didn’t throw everything out and start from scratch with someone else’s capsule list. The capsule wardrobe guidelines are great for identifying pieces or basics that might be missing from my wardrobe that I will then purchase in my style, which is simply what I love and what makes me feel great. Thank you for an in depth video with examples of precisely that. 😊

I nearly always got my sleeves rolled up when in long sleeves would you advise rolling short sleeves up great video
