It was a great video! It was good to see you again!🥰
Watching the hole video. Live your voice and accent!
Your hair looks awesome!
Well i do not like those gray shorts, they seem oddly cut and sort of give you a bit more tummy
than you have without them? That top looks great,
but that coat.. that is definitely stylish and perfect for you 🤍🧡🤎🖤
Love your personality! It’s interesting to hear your opinion on things like this :p
I’m a personal stylist based in Milan and the first thing that surprised me that none of them asked for a portrait & full size picture from you! Your seasonal tones and body type really matters… dressing someone in all black is quite basic to me, there are so many nice neutrals out there that would have been amazing on your spring characteristics 💕
How do we get you to style us? When I say I'm challenged....you have no clue
The expensive one did have a video call, so was able to see her. The 20 dollar one is probably just from a collection of themes.
@@AnnaHeey that's true, however I usually ask for a high quality close up picture to see the exact tones of the eyes, skin and hair. Videocameras can be tricky especially on a Zoon quality call. I definitely think the more expensive stylist was pretty much on point with the preparation with all the extra questions, everyone has different ways to consult, but I believe it would have been very useful to her to have the mentioned pictures.
@@unicornL that's actually a great level to start from! 😊 I know it feels like being in a dark room looking for an exit, but once you learn the basics, you can actually start enjoying the rest of the game!
I talk about styling on my channel, I'd love to have you there! And if you want to make another step towards your signature style, I also have an Etsy shop with lots of printables, guides and workbooks. 😊💕
I thought about the same, how would you know how to match the colour temperature and tint. without knowing the sikin/eyes/hair colour compared to a true white background. And not even mention the bodytype and proportion of legs/torso and arms. I almost miss being a personal shopper/stylist/designer.
Have a great weekend
Edited spelling, thanks for the help :)
Make a vídeo "subscribers style me for a week" or something. Not to brag, but I have a feeling we'd make better choices
well as luck would have it, I am currently taking outfit submission for a "Subscribers Dress Me for a Week" video !!! Click the google forms link for more information + submit your look !! forms.gle/z7d8AFRJ9CW4e41j9
Girl wth these outfits are Waco no offence, I agree we would do a better job haha
I'm up for that
All down sis
@@Ellbat I just submitted 2 outfits. Took me so long!! Hope you like them :)
So the $200 stylist managed two wearable outfits, my grandma's couch, a victorian schoolboy in the matrix, and a poorly dressed hunger games extra. And the $20 stylist had one wearable outfit, some usable pieces, and a hot mess. I think I should just give myself $20 for my own lackluster styling services and call it a day 💀🤣
😂😂
“Poorly dressed hunger games extra” 😭 😭
@@maximuscraig8222 😂😂
It was the victorian schoolboy in the matrix for me omg LOOOL hahhahahah
I have all these pieces except Grandmas curtains and the brown pants I have a burnt orange brown pant & vest. I had this stuff for years. They keep saying new fashions & old stuff revamped . I won’t be cutting the toes out of my boots this year.
I worked as a stylist and sales associate in a fashion store and im suprised that they didnt look at your body type and color complections that well. its the basic of styling someone individually and what makes the outfit work
After watching this and seeing actual stylist recommendations, I think my style definition is “I want to be able to go to the market without scaring anyone or being laughed at.”
1000000%
just dress simple with neutral colored clothes
@@Piyeom Also, classic styles. Trends come and go, but classic styles never go out of fashion.
Ironically enough my style is "I want to be able to go to the market without being arrested but scaring as many people as possible"
Just wear jeans and a t-shirt then lmao, any like, actual outgoing or interesting fashion may result in getting laughed at or appearing intimidating
I love how both stylists gave you one "late 90's goth chick who watched The Matrix a week ago and now tells everyone at the club about the unreliability of reality" outfit, like it's the most common aesthetic
I feel like everyone wants to feel that badass occasionally haha
Oh my God, you didn't have to call me out like that! 🤣
I'm guessing that's their textbook definition of timeless monochrome, they somehow didn't consider white as the dominant color .
Whenever I think my outfits are bad I just look at what the stylists came up with and have a good laugh lol
LOL for real. Fashion is hilarious.
Tbh, the denim jumpsuit you had on in the beginning looked the most harmonious with your features and coloring. Warmer colors look fantastic on you, plus anything with relaxed and longer lines. Not sure if you've checked into Kitchener's style essences or Kibbe body types, but I'm leaning towards either a natural or dramatic Kibbe ID for you as well as natural, dramatic, and ethereal essences. You need styles that emphasize the vertical, not cut-off pants or shorter skirts. Long and loose pants like the outfit you liked looked fantastic on you, plus the relaxed fit trenchcoat. Loved the olive color top on you, the autumnal colors look fantastic on you, whereas the black seemed a bit draining. That's why the bright pink doesn't work on you, you look better in earthy tones. :)
Thank you for in depth response. I learned from you.
the leather coat being broken is SENDING ME OMFG
imagine my shock opening a coat that RRP costs two and a half THOUSAND pounds and it’s just .. broken ???
What kind of shoddy workmanship is that?!?
LMAO SAME
@@ema2031 Tbf I think that may be the reason why it's on sale 😅 typically luxury items on sale are either end of season or previously bought and returned
@@Jeshiae well thats really shit then if it got returned and they just put it back on sale!! Dont they check their stock before they send it, what is this rubbish :D
As a fashion designer, I was appalled by most of these outfits. Also, for 5000, I am quite certain as an online shopper myself that I could put together 10 outfits or more for that money and get a much more stylish result that is actually minimal and suits your general aesthetic. And these two people actually are professionals... Damn. I might consider a carrier change! If you ever feel like doing a new video, free of charge, about ten looks picked by a fashion designer and subscriber, let me know! lol
This would be a cool video!
This would be so awesome!
Sorry, I thought most of the outfits from the stylists didn't quite work. One outfit with the olive top and brown slacks with jacket and purse was okay, but the combos were not so great. Mix and match were strange.
@@KatarinaGirl Right?? I felt precisely the same. The clothes felt bland too, no character at all!
@@TheWandererDreams I usually try not to critique negatively. However, I commend Elbat for tackling fashion. Hopefully she will find outfits she loves!
I personally loved the outfit with the green sweet-heart top and brown trouser. I thought it suited her body amazingly well while keeping everything covered. I think simple and flattering pieces are really effective. You don't need a ton to make them shine.
Don't want to wear the jacket? Chocolate hankerchief scarf could be cute, a nice earring. Or maybe a belt? A truly tailored and flattering outfit only needs one accessory to add interest, two or three if you want to go hard on it.
I agree and yes, with a belt.
I liked that outfit too. The colors were beautiful on her & the top & bottom would both be great for mix & match. The grey vest & trousers that she loved were perfect for her. I would kill for the Valentino coat but I wouldn't want to end up living under a bridge because of how much it costs. 🤣
When you watch this, you can even see how fast your demeanour changes with which ones you feel confident in and the ones you don't! Your back straightens, your shoulders go back. Your entire posture just expands and it's absolutely bangin' to see that shift back and forth. The outfits you hate, you can see you hunch or lean forward and draw your shoulders in, etc. Trust your gut!
I'll be honest, I love fashion too, and you diss your fashion choices way too much. You clearly have a REALLY good sense of what's fashionable and not, based on just the comments you made trying on the outfits. They were the same thoughts I had. Again, trust yourself more!
Fashion is about confidence, there's no rules. If you THINK you look fantastic, you do. People notice confidence and posture, not patterns and colours! You got this!
As a stylist, I feel like both of them are based more on trend and on their personal tastes. The part where they missed was knowing you deeper, especially the lifestyle you're living. Laso, if there was another consultation where they show you the direction they are going, they most probably land perfectly on the brief.
the brief was quite concise and clear. They are just not listening to the customer.
I feel they threw stuff at a dartboard and went with it lol
The number 2 outfit, from the $200 stylist is fantastic on you! The one with the olive green sweetheart neckline, the chocolate coloured pants and wonderful cream coat! I’m a bit sad that I waited so long to watch it, because now you have sent it all back. It looks so elegant and classic on you!
I actually kept all 3 of these things 😭 good eye !!
Yes, that might be the outfit that suits her colouring the best. Although I could be letting my own bias get the better of me, because I love to wear greens and browns. I don't own any white and beige is the lightest I go, both because whites and creams often make me look ill, and because I'm a klutz who will spill tea on myself at least twice a week! 😅
@@Ellbat is it OK to ask where the top is from? I think I need it in my life!
@@helenl3193 i need to know that too
@@Ellbat May I ask where you got the 3 things from? they look so beautiful and suit you so well❤️
I can't let go of the green top and try to look for it but I just can't find it🥺
200 stylist.
1. The Valentino coat is stunning. The leather looks butter soft and the drape is exquisite, but I agree that a coat that costs twice one's rent ought to be inspected before shipping. I like the overall look, although I think the top doesn't look very comfortable and is a bit impractical. 6/10.
2. That green sweater is a winner. 100%. The outfit is attractive and has a some sass. It would be better with a belt. 8/10, especially for wearability. (P.S. I think the trousers from the next look might be better with the green sweater.)
3. Initially, I thought the look was well-put together, until you mentioned the brown trousers. Then, all of a sudden, the outfit looked very odd. I'm not such a big fan of the dangling bits. They seem a bit frowsy for most normal situations. The whole look? 5/10. The trousers and the boots? 9/10.
4. Outstanding! The grey looks really well on you, fwiw. I think if you get it tailored, it will be a go to. It looks comfortable, stylish, and fun. I love the way that they top is cut, especially under the arm, because it lies so smoothly! No bra-revealing gaps! 10/10. Initially, I was going to say 9/10, but how much you like it, and how much it expresses your aesthetic bumps it up to 10/10.
5. 100% agree about the color. Also think either the intricate stitching elements OR a patter on the fabric. With both, it does sort of resemble a chair cover chez Granny. Also? With that enormous bow and the way it hangs in the front, it makes it look as though you have a sizable baby bump, which would be fine, if you did have one. 2/10.
20 stylist.
1. The thing I like best about it is the jacket. I think either ripped jeans, or a crop top, but not both. Actually, I don't like the cut of the jeans at all, and I don't like where/how the tears are. The way the top ends on your belly looks a bit like it's an undersized piece that usually connects the front and back in the crotch area. I like the fabric and color, though. 3/10 (because the jacket and top with a better set of trousers could be quite cute.
2. Agree with you 100%. Ditch the jacket. The outfit is banging without it, and looks overdone with it. Without the jacket 10/10. With the jacket 5/10. (And maybe try with the boots from the outfit with the Valentino coat? The boots with this outfit are too shiny. It distracts from the drape of the dress.) And, oh my GOSH that Valentino coat done up may, in fact, be worth two month's rent, if they send you a non-broken version. WIth THAT coat? 20/10.
3. It's an "almost there, but not quite." The fabric and pattern of the skirt are fine. It just drapes strangely. So with you on the boots with no toes. I think the Valentino outfit boots, or the ones from #3 of the other stylist? I give his an E for effort, but a 3/10 for execution. Also? just like that top from #1, the front "tab" is odd-looking and draws my eyes to a pretty random place. Ok. if you insist on including the bag, we are at 1/10.
4. The colors of the top and skirt look very well on you. I like the top quite a lot. The slit on the skirt is an odd length and I think it would be difficult to manage when sitting. So, that needs some tending to. The shoes are stupid. I'm sorry. It's the only word I can find. The bag.... No. So impractical for daytime, anyway, no? Too small. Too fussy. Just the top and skirt? 8/10. And I do think that as a special piece, the top is worth the 250.
5. The neon pink.. Pretty trashy. 0/10.
I just HAVE to say that I DEEPLY LOVED the effort you put into this rating. like, for me this is a 100/10 rating report. thank you for sharing
Yes! Green sweater looks beautiful
Yes! Grey vest and trousers beautiful without the coat
#3 cheaper outfit just no
Most excellent post, thanks!
I am convinced that quite a few of these "stylists" use AI programs to pick outfits for clients because a lot of these I've seen are so left field from what the client said they enjoyed or liked in anyway shape or form. Pinterest does a way better job of helping me find outfits and ideas and giving me suggestions than many of these so called professional stylists.
This made me feel better about my own fashion choices, if that $20 lady can charge people for her "ideas" then I am good with what I put together. 😅
To be fair for 20 dollars they should not have spend more than 1.5 hours on it for 7 looks. Granted it should still also be worth it for the buyer but you can’t expect too much for a low wage
This is not a actual person it’s AI
@@itsnotme6869they are in the beginning of their career?! Why not do better and use this as a reference? It was a missed opportunity.
Honesly yours is probably even better than the ones from here, especially for the price
Great video
While I fully agree than your favorite outfit is STUNNING on you, the second outfit from the 200 $ Stylist can not be ignored, that green looks INCREDIBLE on you.
Yesss! Incredible indeed
Yessss omg! It was stunning
I LOVE #2 outfit. Where are the trousers from?
My favorite outfit too!
Same, that was my favourite outfit on her, too
Beside from look one in the look book from the cheaper stylist (except the shoe...) , I was honestly so underwhelmed. It felt like very little consideration was actually taken into your requests which sucks since one of those people charged you $200 to style you AND had a consultation with you.
Girl! Do NOT doubt your sense of style! Some of those suggestions were shudder-worthy!
Expensive stylist outfit #2 was my fav! Versatile and classy :) but some of the fits from both stylists were very weird to me
I loved that green shirt. Beautiful cut & color.
Same!
Agreed 👍
It also looks great with her pale skin and red hair.
Agreed!!!
I know the valentino coat is the star of this video, but that lighter colored coat that came with the vest outfit was such a winner for me!! I love that it's has a mature/professional vibe, but also looks a bit slouchy and cozy. like augghhhh its so cute (and versatile)! Would anyone happen to know where it's from?
I want to know too! It might be on her discord.
I also want to knooow - my favorite piece 🥰
I also love to know this
Me too
did ayone find out ? really really amazing piece
I loved watching you try on every outfit! I agree with those who are saying “ If you believe you look good, then you will” Fashion is fun, but when someone feels good in an outfit. It definitely shows!! 🙌
I started doing stitchfix for this exact reason, to get better exposure to other brands. I am so lost when it comes to dressing myself it’s embarrassing. Love that you shared this and tuning in for more of your journey.
The expensive stylist was the clear winner for me. She had the right balance between solids, prints, cuts, and texture…she also gave timeless pieces that you can wear years down the line and it would look great (the crème trench 10/10). And the grandma dress…I actually liked lol. I think if you had a high ponytail and swapped the boots out, it would have worked.
neither accomplished the job stated in the brief.
@@viewpointinout6601 right, which was the main thing :/
I did not like the first "expensive" outfit at all. She looks like she is trying too hard. Those trousers with that shirt? Why? Basic white long sleeve or a white turtleneck with those trousers - yes. Basic black trousers with that top - ok. BUT. Not like this. At least one item should look as if you don't care. This screams "I am trying too hard and I don't know what I am doing". The Valentino coat... Ok. Is it really worth the money? It looks basic for such an expensive item. Better buy some expensive jewellery or an expensive bag... And. This coat would look better on a plus sized woman. The second outfit is fire in theory but the white coat is the only thing that truly makes this outfit look complete. She is not going to wear this coat every time, it's white it's not practical on any level. Once she would try this outfit with a black coat - it won't look as good anymore. The third outfit is GOTH. It looks good on her but only a true rebel would wear this. Number 4 and 5... Also not ideal. I am sorry but I would never wear this west. The dress - also not for everybody (I would rather wear the dress from 5 than the west from 4). Something tells me that a person would either never wear the west or never wear the dress, depending on their character. Can't imagine anyone liking both... I don't know guys... A 200 dollar stylist... Should be better than this.
@@lizvtaz6 idk, i didnt think they were bad, but its definitely not an outfit for the average person or someone who prefers to be comfortable. Seems like outfits for a business woman or something. The cheap stylist just look like they picked random items from shein/fashion nova and put them together
@@basicange Maybe, but I did go to a professional cheap stylist at the age of 19 and she has chosen plenty of the really good outfits for me, also a hairstyle and all of that was wearable. These so called stylists that chose the outfits for this video charged a lot of money for nothing. 5 outfits all hardly wearable? I feel like there is no need to defend those people.
Dude, I was SHOCKED at how bad almost all of these were. 😂 These are professional stylists with careers???? The only outfits that truly fit the brief and looked good we’re outfits 2 and 4 from the $200 stylist. I couldn’t believe how off-brief the rest were.
Also, I don’t think any personal stylist would be worth their salt if they didn’t take into account your color season and Kibbe body type. Hands down.
What's a color season?
I'm not convinced Kibbe body type isn't a fad tbh. Not to mention 90% of human population sucks at typing it.
@@edwardhisse2687 - That is something worth considering. However, I would say that just because something's popular doesn't mean it's a fad.
I've personally found learning my body type to be HUGE. All the clothes styles that I wanted to wear looked totally wrong on me, and I couldn't figure out why.
Finding out that it was because I was trying to wear the wrong shapes of clothing for my body shape was so illuminating.
Now, I can wear the styles I want, but I know how to choose silhouettes that make my body look good, not wide and fat.
So, it's not for everyone, but it does help some of us very much.
Sorry for the essay 😅😂
Especially the last Outfit seemed kind of tacky to me.
kibbe body type isn't even a real thing. i would def put a body type (hourglas, inverted triangle, etc) ions ahead of anything of this kibbe thing. no one agrees on any celebrity 'kibbe body type type' to begin with, and it just seems way too subjective. i don't believe it at all. body type, height and maybe even personal taste is def something to consider! personal taste being only a maybe because sometimes the person's personal style simply doesn't match them.
Hi! It's the first time i saw such a detailed video on such a topic. Its very helpful for both sides: stylists and clients. And i'm very thankful that you posted it. I cannot say i'm a full stylist but a begginer. And that experiment that you've done will help me to develop better view, skills and approach for clients. Also it gave me new ideas. Thanks and have a great day🤗
This may have already been mentioned, but I think this is where it's important to have a stylist who does an initial assessment of what you already have in your wardrobe, and who performs the role of personal shopper with you.
It's less accessible than using a service fully online, but she/they will get an idea of a) what you look like IRL, b) what you already own that can be incorporated, styled or tailored into new looks, and c) check the fit of new clothes and any client objections in person!!
As other commenters have already mentioned, needs like fabric/breathability and value for budget/cost-per-wear and lifestyle appropriateness and probably going to be adressed better by a service that works with you offline.
(Not a stylist myself - spent a long time working fashion retail and spend a lot of time on Instagram and adding things to cart that I ultimately can't afford 😂
I understand better now when I have friends who say to me, "How are you so good at accessorising?" It's not always a matter of 'buy what you like and affix to your body' 💁🏻♀️)
Interesting to see what choices you ended up with based on your brief and budget!
And that ochre floral dress has way too much going on. It needs a block (plain) colour and simpler neckline. Absolute dog's breakfast disaster of elements!
My fave was the green top with brown trousers but you can clearly see how much you enjoyed the waistcoast co-ord!
That Valentino coat is EVERYTHING! I think the outfits by $200 stylist are more editorial whereas the cheaper stylist is more “normal” everyday outfits.
meh, you could just buy a cheaper but just as nice leather jacket. It will never be reasonable or worth it to overpay that much just for a brand.
@@Czadzikable the 'just as nice' is the catch. also a leather jacket compared to the longline coat is a completely different vibe.
Definitely keep the Valentino coat! 😁
@@Czadzikable that’s not how fashion works. Each clothing piece means something. I know you’re thinking mostly practically. But a leather jacket being an option for a jacket doesn’t make it a good replacement.
@Kotoru but fake leather harm the earth.......
I LOVED Outfit #2 from the expensive stylist. The green, brown, and cream coat looked incredible on you!
I wish the pants had a subtle pattern like a houndstooth maybe, but the color combination looked amazing.
@@megggg a brown tweed or twill gamp would have been STUNNING!!! Women's trousers should be just as elegant and classic as men's trousers. (Trousers are what go with suits.)
I loved that one too.
I liked it too but the coat was too big and swallowed it up.
Yes, that one was awesome
Elena, I think we have similar taste/style. Being very tall, I also love the androgynous look, and the trouser/vest combo was my favourite. I feel it heightens our femininity but is comfortable, classic and flattering. Whilst I love some ultra feminine patterned dresses etc, I find these work against my height and figure. Simple is best😊
I agree the vest suit was 10/10 on you and I was instantly reminded of Stacey Dooley's style - kind of minimal, classic, neutrals with great quality. New to your channel, subscribing!
I think that the stylists ‘failed’ with some of the outfits because they didn’t take into account a) your body type and b) the colors that look best on you. It would be really cool if you asked an image consultant to do a body type analysis and a color analysis! You could then revisit these outfits
Agree
Would have been better with taking in account the body ratio
Correct me if I am seeing it wrong but she definitely does NOT have an hourglass shape - much more like a pear-shaped body cause she is more petite on the top and much more full on the bottom. Maybe that´s one of the reasons as well.
You’re 100% right, an image consultant who knows about kibbe or style essence could work wonders for her. Kibbe is more expansive then the fruit body types too. Majority of the clothes she wore looked they were wearing her. She’s not that angular, and is quite soft/fleshy.
I think it's a complete joke that both of them dare to call themselves stylists. The styles did not at all resemble what she asked for, amd like you said is so true the colors and bodytype were completely ignored. That defeats completely the purpose of havig a stylist!
I was just going to say that. I had my colors done a few years ago and it changed my life! Just wearing your colors, even if the clothing isn't that great makes you look much better than wearing good quality clothing in the wrong color.
I just had a stylist transform my wardrobe recently and after that experience, I am not surprised this experiment went the way it did. I was thoroughly assessed regarding body type, colour palette, hue shades and personality. In addition she was very keen on knowing, which "message" I want to give in my outfits. Of course that cost more than 200 pounds - however I have spend less on my new outfits, because she paid attention to capsule wardrobing. She also was precise regarding how my clothes should fit- I love every piece she picked. My feeling watching this video: many styles would have looked much better with a proper fit - but in general the stylists did not have enough information to understand, what the client wants. However, with a budget of 20 and 200, that also is too much to ask.
Who did you hire?
How much did you pay? I would love to do this.
Am also interested
please don't gatekeep, go ahead and share
Did you hire body and style (i think her name is ellie jean?)
You pick incredible colors for your red hair and complexion. Have you had your color analysis done? I’m also a redhead and I’m very inspired by your ability to find flattering colors and shades! Idk if that’s your natural hair color, but it’s perfect! I love the green top with the cool neckline and the dress with oranges and yellows. In someone else, it might look like Grandma’s curtains, but those colors are perfection of you. The denim jumpsuit is very flattering on you, too!
i love outfit #2 and #4 from the more expensive stylist and #2 from the inexpensive stylist ! the vest suit outfit was amazing ! fit perfectly and honestly choosing outfits are made to make YOU feel good, comfortable and confident and you look like you would actually wear those outfits in a certain setting overall amazing !!! (yes i commented, liked and subscribed to help a girly out even if its a year old video lmfao)
to be fair, you look the best in the expensive stylist outfits! every single outfit just screams sophisticated. i think maybe that's what the stylist understood than us regular consumers lol. but dress number 4 is no go 😅 if you wear enough such outfits, I think you're good to go. and I don't like any of the cheap stylist outfits... it may look like a day to day outfit, easy to style. but it looks like a mess
#2 ($200 stylist) was so perfect. I don’t normally like that style, but it worked so well on you with the coloring and silhouette.
Yesss I agreeee
Get real; She would look stunning in ANYTHING. She's gorgeous (like her cat), with an amazing figure.
Yess !! That was perfect
17:03 Was my favorite. Even without the coat it looks quite elegant whilst still giving comfy. I think the color choices were really nice and looked great on you!
The suit outfit looked really good on your body shape as well! Also love the long jacket, but I feel like you could find a similar one for much cheaper. Im not a fan of paying more for brand names if you can find the same quality item for less.
I loved the jeans jumpsuit on you. Yes, the one that was your own. More than all the other outfits. Genuinly
Hahahaha thank u 😭❤️
I loved it, too! She looked great!
Agreed!!
Yeah I thought it was one of the outfits at first 💀
@@YandereDay same
I think that ‘being styled’ allowed you to realize that you DO actually have some excellent fashion-sense.. You know what you like, and you have perfectly reasoned it out. Great experiment, and SOMEHOW find a way to keep that Valentino leather coat. Looks like you are in your element when you put it together with the belt. You could wear it for a lifetime! Thanks for doing this very interesting project. Love that econ major irony, hahahaha! You are a hoot!
Agreed. She has learned enough to power on with her quest. Now when she goes shopping she'll be looking for what will work for her.
The amount of laughs 😂 I’m happy you made this video and your personality makes it X100 better
Purchase the one you love and skip all the rest…you chose the best. (Now, regarding that fabulous black coat! OMG!) With that said, the cream coat is quite nice and is great with your vested trousers. And the boots are perfection!
The vest suit and black dress were divine, everything else was tacky and or too trendy. I actually like your personal style, that denim jumpsuit was killer! Trust yourself. We have similar minimalist styles. I don’t follow trends. I wear what I like, and that makes me feel confident, which is the true hallmark of fashion! Do you, girl!
I thought that the denim jumpsuit was the first Look; aside from the matching set, it is the best thing you put on.
The green top outfit from the expensive stylist and the grey vest with the grey pants, the black dress from the cheaper stylist really suited you. I would return everything else.
The two coats from the high end are the best items hands down. The out fit you like the best was my favorite too. I hate the open toed boots. I've read too many online articles that state open toed booties/boots are on the way out. Which I think is good because it makes the foot look a hoof. However the chunky soled boots are everything. You could wear them with longer skirts, trousers, or jeans. Some of the outfits would also benefit from a wide belt or corset belt. That long black leather coat is incredible and worth saving up for but the cream coat is a must buy. You buy an expensive classic style coat and it will last for a decade or more so in the long run it's worth it. My sister gave me a long black wool cape over ten years ago and it's still a fashion statement statement. Just my two cents worth. I'm 63 and lived through bell bottoms, disco, and shoulder pads.
I love the Outfit 2 from an expensive stylist. That green top looks awesome on you, the coat and the bag also look great.
$200 stylist outfit 5 doesn't look at all like my grandma's curtains, it does however look remarkably similar to her sofa. Overall, my favorite was also your favorite, $200 stylist #4. The vest and trouser outfit was spot on perfect, and ordering the trousers a size larger, I think gave them a nice flow, and the colour was perfect. I can't help but think the leather coat would go wonderfully with them.
oh lol that first sentence 😂
@@imawakemymindisalive13 if I could post a picture of it I would.
I laughed so hard my partner started laughing because I couldn’t stop
@@NonexistentUsername21 Did they ever find out what you were laughing about?
Also though of my gran's sofa, jajajaja
Honestly it is exceptionally difficult to figure out your clients style the first time, so you play out a couple of variety choices and you figure it out from there. Sometimes people use classic to describe "traditionally feminine". This is why most celebrities rely on a small team of long-term stylists to really understand and curate around their personal style.
Yeah, I've can find at least three different understandings of what classic means, Ellbats, the stylists and my own.
I've done a subscription box once, and I had to give photo examples of what I was looking for, plus choose items from different clothing categories to give an idea of what I like. Plus full body photos from different angles, and measurements of course. Then I got a sort of preview, and I could send feedback about what I liked or disliked and why. And then I got an e-mail with all the items I was going to be sent, and the ability to take out some items and they would swap in something else that I wouldn't be able to approve, so would be a surprise. And it still turned out so bad 😭 I'd told them I like a bit edgy style, I wanted to experiment with more color, and they sent me the most basic stuff, and there was no color in there. I get that it's difficult to get a perfect recommendation without a bit of going back and forth and getting to know your stylist a bit, etc, but I feel like it should be possible to get at least the key points of the brief right 😅
Lov the tailored gray pieces, I would add a fabulous tailored shirt. Skinny tees I. Different sleeve lengths, sweater coat? Tan trench was was nice. The gray pant and vest are a great place to begin building a capsule wardrobe.
The outfit with the neutral jacket is definitely my favorite for you with the grey vest combo being #2 and the first look #3
As a former stylist, I love outfit two, it fits you nicely and the green is great with your eyes! I love the menswear outfit as well,especially without the jacket and with jewelry. The brown/yellow dress is definitely very 'fashiony' as my daughter would say, but not very wearable. I feel like the second stylist went for 'model about town' outfits. I think pieces of it are ok but literally none of it together.
that matrix trench coat makes this entire rollercoaster worth it tbh, that jacket was truly gorgeous
i did like some of the pieces from both stylists, like the knee high boots and the aforementioned godly simulation coat, but the 200 one definitely had an edge imo!
5th outfit I agree entirely! Solid color or maybe a green with cream accents
Love the pant plus vest combo!
$200 stylist definitely won this overall. The green shirt outfit + the vest outfit were great.
The $20 one wasn't awful but there would be quite a few tweeks to multiple outfits to make them better/more elevated.
no! The 20$ was indeed pathetic but so was the 200$ it was just a huge amount of money and i feel i could dress her better
@@saloniroy4358 same! One of us off the street could do better!
1. The outfit you picked. Perfect for you.
2. The cream light trench coat looks great on you and would go with a lot.
3. The black trench, esp, when done up is amazing. Yes it looks matrix but also you look bad ass in it.
4. Love the sunglasses on you and they elevated a lot of the looks.
5. All the rest sucked or were just boring or basic or wrong. Everyone else on here saying why didn’t they take your coloring and body shape into consideration is spot on.
Green outfit from the expensive and long cheap stylist black dress with expensive jacket were my favorites.
I've been coordinating outfits today and saving them, so I can have an easier time picking up what to wear, and after seeing this video I feel like a fashion icon 🤣
Okay the stylists' results were insane!! 😭 As a stylist, I'm assuming someone who is getting styled for the first time does not want to go so out of their comfort zone, but rather to just amp up what you already wear and to make recommendations on how to accessorize, style things on the body, etc. Maybe add in a few new key pieces and one statement piece. Just wild... making a Fiverr account now haha!
Yea correct me if I’m wrong but as a stylist you take one’s personal style and then try and get them out of their comfort zone. It’s like “oh you like classic stuff let’s get you to try some more colorful stuff”
I think the engagement on this vid is working bc I've never heard of you and the only fashion channels I follow are historical recreations, and boy am I glad I watched your vid! Obviously my fave was the cheap stylist outfit #1 bc it was the most wearable, but I think you could rock the two piece suit style everyday!
same here damn
Same
Same. It just showed up on my feed today.
I just watched this a year and 8 months later, and I'm so glad the video did well for you! (3.4mil views as of today) for you! Congrats!
I think outfits 2, 4, and the last black dress looked really nice on you :) Loved this video.
A really cool twist on this idea would be to repeat this BUT have someone help you so you were unaware of which outfits were styled by the more expensive/cheap stylist and guess!! Also the second look from the more expensive stylist was just *chefs kiss* loved loved loved it!!!
I am HERE FOR THIS IDEA.
First and second outfit you bought from the 200 stylist were so good! That Valentino coat is a BANGER! I even liked the dress of the last outfit, that is indeed what a lot of fashionable +1 guest girls wear to chique parties atm, but the boots and the bag made it look weird without the coat on. Look 3 was all over the place imho. That stylist did a rather good job
Love the valentino coat, looks great with that black dress with the slit, the outfits 1 & 2 from the expensive stylist looked very chic on you.
Okay, I was just watching this on a whim, I haven't even finished your video, but I have to say I normally fast forward the paid sponsorship part. When your paid sponsorship came up, I didn't fast forward, it was so well put together and made me feel so comfortable that I enjoyed hearing about it from you. I will likely use your code for Skill Share, especially since I am furthering my education and would like an extra leg up umongst my peers. 😄 thanks for the great content and your delivery of it. You have earned a new subscriber, a like, and a notification bell 👍🏼🔔
Some of those outfits from the $20 stylist made me laugh so hard, especially the one with the animal print bag! I have never seen your videos before but it was very obvious that the stylists missed your essence as a person and just chose outfits they thought you would like.
Regardless, great content, and I hope you're able to rid of all the failed pieces for your bank account's sake LOL
The one with the animal print bag is perfect 😆😅🤣 for times when you need to convince your ex's new girlfriend that you aren't a threat to their relationship 😜
You should definitely keep:
The leather coat (get one that’s not damaged, but please keep it)
The full outfit with the vest
The 2 shirts with a heart neckline (the green and blueish one)
The basic black boots (without the holes in the front)
The black purse from the look with the super weird shirt and brown pants
100% agree
@@umm1689 ditto
and that black dress with shoulder slits
Agreed 500%
I think the black leather Valentino is pretty extra for everyday wear and I bet it cost 3 months rent
Really appreciated this video!! I personally feel that it's better to buy quality items without a designer label, and you learn what looks good on you without a stylist. Much more economical! The way my jaw dropped from hearing how much you had to spend! At least with stitch fix they know the type of budget they're working with. Perhaps if opting for a stylist, we need to shop around before settling on one
Also wanted to add that you're lovely and would look great in anything. It's an injustice that some of the looks from both but especially the $200 stylist were nonsensical!
This is a super fun video! The pants and the boots in the third outfit are so good also the vest and pants outfit is my favorite. Everything else can go back.
All time favorite is outfit #2 from the $200 stylist. That green looks so good on you, and it's very flattering on your figure. #4 was also good, but I think how comfortable you felt in it made it even better. I hope you kept those two 🙂. #1 would have been much better without the shorts, you're right. The only one from the $20 stylist that was worth it was #2. But you're definitely right about it needing a longer jacket.
Where is the green top from?
i agree.
I want to know where the green sweetheart top is from too!
@@nancyd1199 Same here! I love it so much! I'd get it for myself
I agree with this!
21:30 i ADORE this look its very vivienne westwood, just without the bag, low heels instead of cutout boots and a cute over the shoulder bag
I love the beige trenchcoat, but I think the all black outfits really suit your hair and just makes you look very cool
I love what you're wearing to describe the video (green satin blouse with sweater vest)!
outfit #2 from the more expensive stylist was my absolute favourite. 10/10. such a flattering silhouette and the colours looked amazing and classic together 😍 chic and sophisticated but still wearable for everyday things!
agreed!!!
yeah it's classic but all of them fit really well. and does have the simple sophisticated vibe she wanted.
Absolutely agree
Expensive 2 was my favourite. It gives off the "i'm naturally stylish" vibe and a total "I want to be like her" reaction. I also loved the last top from the cheaper stylist... until you mentioned the price of it! The suit set was great too, it felt powerful.
agreed!!
that coat with the long dress is just amazing. it looks so good I'm almost jealous of how much it suits you. if I was rich I would buy the long coat in a second
I also like the trousers and vest combo, also the black dress but it looks better with the short jacket, in my opinion.
I’m a full-time stylist and actually dig the short look. Love the higher valued stylist’s looks but makes sense that for TWENTY DOLLARS (which is practically like working for free) are less exciting. She did a good job considering.
Same! Well I'm definitely not a stylist, but I really liked the shorts.
Shorts were so fun!
Yeah that was one of my favorite outfits, but I’m not personally very fashionable
meanwhile to me that short is the ugliest piece of clothing i have ever seen and i cant picture it looking good on anyone who's not a 64yo grandpa
I loved the shorts too. I would definitely wear them
I have to say I think the second outfit from the $200 stylist was my favourite! I understand it might be on the simpler end from the more expensive stylist, but I think it's very classic and easy to fit into a regular wardrobe - nice forest colours complimented with the beige, very aesthetic to me :)
I would like the brands so I can buy this outfit for myself, love it!
@@mystikosai me too, have you found them?
Loved this video 😂😂you are a natural in front of the camera.
You crack me up! I loved this video!!
I am surprised none of the stylists even tried looking at the stuff you already have and creating a look based on your actual wardrobe. Or I might have missed it.
I agree with you, best outfit that complimented your body was the suit. From just watching this video I feel like 1940s inspired fashion will definitely go with you, it’s a mixture of masculine and feminine and still sophisticated. (I’ve been wanting to be a fashion stylist since I was 15, I never believed in myself but I’m 36 now and it’s time!)
Oh! You're right about the 40's! She should look into Veronica Lake-style dresses. The leather coat was most gorgeous in the back! Why would you want the attention there, unless you're Kardashian? A very fun exploration. Kudos!
36 is soooo young!!! Go for it! Im in the biz and its the best
Oooooh, yes do it. Be great! ❤ did you start?
Keep the long black coat no matter what! I agree with adding it to the $20 stylist black dress. I think you look great in your favorite grey suit.
I would have liked to see how you would have styled yourself. Because tho you say you aren’t as into fashion but you clearly have a personal style which would be very fun for you to explore
Would love to see you do this with hiring an in person stylist who’s studio you visit and get to try things on and rent. How styling traditionally works!
Plus they will chose items that are suited to your body type as opposed to all of these off the rack looks.
The $200 stylist's outfit #2 was my personal favourite. The shape of the top was absolutely beautiful and so flattering and I think it's approachable enough for everyday wear. That coat is gorgeous too 😍
loved this video! You're very enjoyable to watch.
Grey vest and pants with trousers look great!
I forgot to rate them all, but I loved that green, sweetheart neckline shirt outfit and the suit one. Absolutely adored them. And the expensive cost was also really nice, but liked it a whole lot more when it was all buttoned and tied up. Overall though, I didn't think most of the outfits were bad. Except for a few, the rest were nice😁
As a “fashionable person” I have to say that the expensive stylist did a great job of finding cool fashionable looks but it doesn’t matter how good something looks on you if you let the outfit wear you rather than wearing the outfit with your confidence. The two piece vest suit thing that you love isn’t necessarily better than the other pieces but it looks incredible in you because the way you carry yourself on it is much more confident than the other fits. I hate all the cheap stylist looks, they’re basic.
It kinda was better though it suits her and the fit was immaculate
But most times how confident you are in an outfit depends on how well they fit you. Some of these outfits had a horrible fit on her, like the first pair of pants, and that third top was atrocious. She wasn't feeling the brown pants, but she looked great on them anyways, so it wasn't so much about her liking it.
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I subscribed within the first 5 minutes :) I really enjoy your content and this was a great idea for a video
The Valentino coat, the black cut out dress with slits on the side and the black boots are a MUST!!!!!!
Also the west and the pants!!!
That's all you need!!!!
I actually really love the grandma's curtain's outfit. But I do have sketchy taste and get most of my ish from thrift stores, so I might be wrong there. Overall I liked the more expensive stylist outfits more. They were very fashion girl but make it sophisticated lol, honestly they both had wins and fails. The matrix coat is absolutely gorgeous
I wonder if it's just me but the grandma's outfit would scream high fashion if the dress cropped instead? Like showing some mid drift? Perhaps that's just me?
As a retired personal jewelry designer, I would never have picked all that black for you. Your coloring is spectacular and rare and should be celebrated with lighter, warmer neutrals and a few "mermaid" colors (coral, aqua, mint green, etc.)
You also have a near perfect figure, so dressing you should have been simple. There were only two outfits I felt truly did your beauty justice: the two piece grey vest suit and the # 4 outfit from the $20.00 stylist that had a ruched ivory skirt paired with a deep sea blue top. The black leather coat was a great design, but it doesn't really flatter your coloring or figure.
When I was designing for clients I always respected their individuality: many people want simpler styles that they can wear more often, not dramatic pieces that only work occasionally.
My best advice to you is to pick a core neutral color other than black, possibly a warm grey, blue grey or conversely a warm brown. Then buy something that you adore that flatters your figure and looks both young and sophisticated and reflects your style. Ideally in a colder climate this would be a 3-season coat or at least a blazer or jacket. Then start adding pieces that go with that item: slacks, a skirt, a nice blouse or sweater. Or you could start with that vest and pant set in grey.
You have an hourglass shape, which both stylists did a good job of accenting. However, since you like simpler styles, always be careful to choose those that have a shape, a nipped in waist and fabric that is not to heavy, so it can still drape well.
Avoid squared off, boxy, heavy looks at all costs, as well as heavy dark colours. Clothing and jewelry should enhance the person's beauty, not detract.
Yeah, but she seems to like black. Mermaid colors are super girly and she doesn't seem like she's into that. I bet slightly more masculine autumn colors would look great on her and tie in the greys and blacks she seems to prefer.
You would have so much fun if I were your client because I want my accessories as extra as possible. Admittedly matching a wardrobe to my jewelry tastes can be a challenge, however.
As a professional the first leather coat is beautiful on you and if the quality is good please keep it it's a great staple piece. Second outfit the green top is perfect shade for your coloring just beautiful ❤
