Thank you 🙏🏽
I have listen 🎶 to the video and I like it 👌 I need to be seeing more
💕💕💕
Skin tight clothes is all i have 😭 i have no natural curves i neeeeeeeeeed.
I’m glad I found this because I’m trying to dress class and not boujee. That’s a cute style too but I’m getting older and trying to make a wardrobe that I won’t have to replace every few years
I'm so glad!
Amen to that
Girl!!!!
I feel you on that
My Mother taught Me this. I guess Mothers don't do that anymore. My Mom wore a mink coat to go shop for Groceries. I am Black, and I went to work for the World's largest Airline. Next, I worked for a Bank, the Man that hired Me said I am glad that airline showed you Black Women how to dress. I said my Mother taught Me, he laughed said that's a fairly tale. I said no, stop being condsending.
Love that you specified the difference between boujie/classy.
Correct, for the young female who watches this or older and might not know the difference these examples sets them up for success, because they know what to avoid and what to aim for based off these visuals.
Cocoa Styling, does an superb job, I wish her health to continue to bring these videos to us.
It's been hard finding videos that show black women. Thank you so much!
So true!
Glad you guys are enjoying my videos😊
Righhhhttttt
Yes! I was thinking the same thing.
It’s nice to see my photo being represented in such a elegant way. Who would’ve known I had to be on the cover of someone’s CZcams video. All-around great video
This is much needed in the day-and-age of Cardi B and Megan the Stallon who I both enjoy but do not like them to be representing of all black women. We need balance as white women and every other group to be shown not ONE WAY as black women. Not all of us are sexualized and actually many of us want quality gentlemen as well.
Yes! That's why I like my Style series, all sort of different styles and aesthetics with examples that look like us
@@cocoastyling Thank you, and please keep doing what you are doing. I support this channel 100%.
@kj 100% truth!
Amen
@kj Neither is this influencer.
can you do a version of this video for plus sized women ... ive noticed that sometimes wearing loose fitted clothes can make plus size women look bigger
That's a great idea!
I appreciate you including the beauty of natural hair.
This was an amazing tutorial. I am clearly a white woman . Most of my girlfriends are black women so I wanted to watch and see the styles recommended. I took away classy styles and advice for myself as well . What a beautiful video. I'll share with my girls too. Thank you Cocoa.
My tips are: if you have a clothing staple that's good enough quality to hang on to for a while: GET IT TAILORED! $15 Investment will make you look so much more polished. Also, DIP NAILS. Short or almond, chill and neutral dip nails take 20 mins.
Soooo glad you mentioned that it’s ok to wear your natural hair. I’ve been trying to find classy hairstyles that don’t make me look like a teacher Or a toddler. Do you mind creating a video about how to wear your natural hair in a classy manner?
Great idea:)
Lots of Love My healthy beautiful Women!☀️
This channel was much needed and I hope it continues to grow.
I'm so glad I found this channel. I'm to enhance my wardrobe for my 20s.
Welcome aboard!
I am so tempted to change my style to the classic style. I am 30 and no longer a teenager but I am having such an issue with trying to grab the attention of my future husband. Wherever he is.
My Sister, you will find him. Less is more. Quality Gentlemen attract feminine, articulate and well dressed women. The key is to be confident in your skin and attire...
He will find you with the classic style. Mine did 😍

I was brought to your channel thanks to my love for the dark academia aesthetic. Your videos are so great! Thanks. - a new subscriber
Keep going girl. It was aesthetically pleasing to watch. We absolutely need more content from you 😍🌹
First time on this yt channel just subbed and liked. I absolutely loved this video it made me feel fantastic!! Like a queen! Thank you Mrs cocoa!❤️
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this .
Wow this video makes me feel so good🥰🥰 thank you!
I love understated outfits...
I’m 17 and even though I wanna dress classy, I don’t wanna look too serious for my age. Do you think this would be right for me?
The classy style work for everyone, however, you can mix it with a few preppy elements to make it a bit more youthful.
This is my video on the preppy style:): czcams.com/video/m2dXieb7ETw/video.html
@@cocoastyling thank you so much!!!
came across your channel and i am in love ❤❤❤ this is so revolutionary! 😍
I hope this channel grows!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you 💕
Girl, I just subscribed ❤️💃🏾💃🏾
Absolutely brilliant! So helpful. Thank you.
Great video! I am streamlining my wardrobe to be all classic. To do a classic style you can wear things that skim your figure but DO so tight it looks like you were poured in. If it’s gaping or pulling anywhere it is TOO tight!
Focus on good quality basics. Less is more with this style. You can find great pieces second hand. Window shop the better stores so you can recognize the labels if you happen to thrift. Quality is better than quantity. You don’t need labels and too much flash with it. You don’t need designer necessarily especially when you’re starting out. You could even sew your own clothing and it would be just fine.
Stay OUT of the leggings, hoodies and the like. You can wear slimmer sneakers preferably in a solid colors. Unless you are doing something active stay out of the athletic wear.
Those are great tips!💖
Quality over quantity is definitely important in this style, but that doesn't mean it has to be expensive, especially with timeless pieces, they are easier to find.
Hi ! I found your channel yesterday and I subscribed immediately because I love the content and the fact that you are focused on black women.
Can you do a video about accessories please. I am a fan of accessories more than clothes. But sometimes I have the impression of doing too much or badly associates them.
Sure! They are also a very important part of an outfit
Thank you for creating this channel. So excited for more videos to come
Welcome!
I'm so glad you like my videos:)
This is my first video, subscribed. I’m light skinned but I’m here for this. Any type of black female empowerment, I’m here for it!
Welcome! And thank for your support:)
Very good content and with melanin skin women in mind, very valuable information. I really like the selection of pictures used. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the many days to come,
I could listen to you talk for hours🔥
Thank you!
Good video, most of these tips I have learned from my mom🙂
Love this video!!! Black women come in a variety of ways! Time to let the world know
This is great advice! I just subscribed! ❤
Love the pictures you selected to demonstrate your points. Keep up the good work!

Thanks! And welcome:)
lOVE IT, Thank you
Thank you for creating this video! and this channel dedicated to black women! this means so muuchhh!! ive been searching for a channel like this!! also your accent is so pretty!!
Thank you!
Every race of women. Telling. the black woman how to dress. What colors not too wear on their dark skin what you know with your accent. Scared too help the white woman because millions of them need help. But you are looking at their best and our worst. I don't need you. Go figure
@@normajean7882 Thank you because I agree. Within the first few minutes of the video I knew that this wasn't a blk influencer. But she uses the name Cocoa styling for blk women and even gives a reply that she is blk. OK...Rachel Dolezal.
@@normajean7882 Well, if you read the description you would know that the reason why I made the channel is that I am both black and a fashion stylist.
Subscribed! Blessings queen.
Love it!!❤️
Thank you!!
I needed this video. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
The best video i do not need to watch other videos now.
Great I came across your Chanel. Cool tips.
Glad you like them!
Thank you!!!
Thanks for the video 📹 please do more on how to look simple and classy to a luxury event 😊 I have already subscribed to your channel
Just got to this channel! I love it. Is it best to pick out a particular style? I didn't realize until now that I had an affinity for dark academia, Boho, unisex clothing. As I am getting older I have heard that I should pick a particular style, but I don't want to put myself in a box. I do however, want to dress more classy and feminine.
The best style to chose is your own personal style! You can take inspiration from lots of aesthetics, you don't have to commit to a particular one. I will say that understanding the basics of the styles and aesthetics that you like can help you give them your own personal touch:)
Well done. Beautiful esthetic.
Classy. Black. Beauty. 💜
I love your channel 🥺
i'm so glad!
I liked and subscribed before watching anything

Welcome!!
This is so Great!! You’re a sweetie so classy! Thank you for these great tips! Love seeing my people with such chic styles.
Pretty good channel, keep up the good work
What are those green harem pants. Been looking for those for a minute
Love this game, queen. 👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾 💯💯💯 💎💎💎💎
*Just got this recommended after watching Anna Bey and I'm glad*
Ok that last Boujee style with the lock knots was sooo cute!!
Love the video ❤️, how about how to keep it cute and classy while dressing sporty if that makes sense. I have 2 little boys and wear sneakers all the time
Maybe mixing it with a few preppy elements can help, I have a video on it!
czcams.com/video/m2dXieb7ETw/video.html
I just viewed the video and I must say that I am impressed. In an age where everything is sexualized, to be respected one must present themself respectfully. I am a older woman and I must say bravo young ladies.
Great job
Love it
Thanks!
I love this channel! I'm definitely booking a consult.
Yay! Thank you:)
@@cocoastyling I' can't wait. I have it on my goals list for quarter 4 this year, so I'll be in touch around October/November. I've already emailed you with an enquiry and you came back to me. 💗
Can you do a self care, hygiene series?
I'm just now finding your channel. I'm wondering, do recommend any stores that sell classy not bougie clothes?
I will be posting some brands on my blog soon!
