Dearly Bethany's style course is quite literally one of the best investments I've made in/for myself in years. I loved loved loved it. I am forever changed, in the best way possible. I've never thought about my hero self before ... never given myself permission to dream and explore and reflect and claim my inner style and feel powerful. It sounds like a cliché, but you'll see. Since finishing the course, my clothing purchases are in line with my true style(s) and I no longer make purchase mistakes. I feel good about my style and I love having the new knowledge and confidence. You won't be Dearly Bethany ... you'll be you, on whatever path you're on. (I work from home. Doesn't matter.) I highly recommend the course. Take some time and believe in yourself all over again. Worth every penny. Don't rush through the segments though, take time to listen to the lesson and consider it from the perspective of your own life. Think about what made you feel joyful when you were a child, too. What a gift.
Your comment made my day, Wendy! It sounds like you got exactly what I hoped out of the course and I could not be more excited for you! What a fun journey you have in front of you! 🙌
I just finished mine and I'm also completely transformed!
The reason I love neutrals is they make even inexpensive clothes look so sophisticated and elegant.
“We can be clever with texture” I ❤️ this suggestion.
I love my neutrals ... I am a Navy, Silver Grey, White lady. I do however have two areas of colour .... A rainbow collection of cashmeres and fine knit merino (from cardigans to wraps) and a number of very good quality silk scarves (primarily Liberty or Chanel). On a dull damp day slipping that periwinkle blue silk scarf around the neck of my navy wool coat can really up the mood!
Am on the list waiting for the next course and look forward as an early retired lady (I am 55) to finding my way in the casual instead of career world.
That rack of clothing 😍 I could honestly watch you talk through every single piece you have in your wardrobe, it’s such good inspiration for me. But anyways, NEUTRALS FOR THE WIN!!
Oh thank you! 🥰
I would love a peek at that rack too! Even though my style is completely different, I totally gravitate toward a lot of the same pieces. I always see things I'm dying to find out about.
Your videos are the reason that I've started "investing" in clothes and shoes instead of bargain buying. I am now using more money on clothes and shoes, but I am also only buying things I know I'll wear and that will last me a long time, so I am also wasting less money on clothes and shoes that I end up not wearing much.
I love this so much! So happy to hear about your success with your intentional style. Thank you for sharing this with me :)
Neutrals have changed my wardrobe! Whenever I get a new piece it goes with EVERYTHING in my wardrobe. Money saving!
Started wearing neutrals recently and it feels great.
I feel this. I try to add color, but simply feel at home in neutrals and agree that it looks elegant and timeless.
My cup of the tea also
I couldn't agree anymore.. I have a FEW pieces of color but I will always end up wearing neutrals because they represent me better
The point you made on the contrast of your hair to your skin in a black and white photo is brilliant! I have not heard that point made before and it makes perfect sense. It makes selecting your neutral that much easier. I took your course so I already had the information on the skin undertone to know if you should have warm neutral or cool neutral, but this last point, pinpoints it even further. Thank you!
I was having a stressful day and this video was really calming. Beautiful set up and shots, bird chirping and learning some really helpful tips! Thank you 💛
Your pet made an eyecatching entrance,how cute😍😍😄 and can't ignore the birds chirping in the background so aesthetic
This year I'm revamping my wadrobe and improving my style and I am neutralizing now so this video is a lifesaver!
that's awesome! excited for where you take your wardrobe
@@bethanyleonardo thank you!
I appreciate you giving us a glimpse of “deep into color” . You made it very clear.
I like neutrals as the basis for my wardrobe but as I’m getting older I’ve started to introduce a bit of colour as I’ve noticed people who wear some colour near their face look more fresh and young. I definitely can no longer wear black.
I can see how a neutral wardrobe is more cost effective. Even if you spend more on each article, everything is cohesive so you get more wear out of each piece, more possible combinations and all that taking less space. Also, in the past I didn't use to think so much about using texture to create interest in an outfit, and now I focus a lot on that and it's definitely a fool-proof way to look smart, I wish I had always known that! :)
Thank you so much for this! Neutrals are fantastic!
I'm such a sucker for neutral patterns and monochromatic looks. I love color, but neutrals make the outfit so clean and streamlined. The only time I can see myself experiment with color is through my make-up looks. 🥰❤
yes, so true that neutrals streamline each outfit and the wardrobe as a whole!
Thanks to your advice i've been changing my clothes paying attention to materials or fabric. It's been a slow but enjoing journey
Looking at color season theory was a big help to me in understanding neutrals, because there are so many variations in the neutrals to consider. Gray isn't just gray; for example, there are shades of gray from very pale to charcoal, and from bluish gray to grays with a touch of yellow for warmth. Navy isn't just navy; there's bright navy, midnight navy, grayed navy, light navy. White can be bone, cream, snow, or ivory. Beige can be dark camel, light tan, khaki, or taupe, etc. Most people can wear most neutrals. It's just a matter of finding the right variation for them.
This was a free class of how to make your wardrobe work for you. Thank you so much!!!! My jewelry will shine! Love ❤️
Because of you I’ve been on a mission to change my personal style and so far I’ve started with shoes. Already I’ve received many compliments on my shoes as well as had the opportunity to donate my older shoes to a worthy cause through the same shoe brand I’ve been buying from. I cannot wait for your course to open again. I’m so looking forward to it!
So good, Jennifer! Excited for your journey thru the course!
I love your videos and how you go straight into presenting your information. Your presentation is so clear, concise and practical ❤❤ thank you Bethany for catering to my learning style
Always a gem to my day when you post a new video! 🤍
So much great insight here with neutrals. I know a lot of people think it's boring as well, but like you mentioned, when you eliminate the color and delve into cut, style and textures it really does make a difference. I love how my gold jewelry pops on the neutrals as well!
You’re videos never fail to inspire me!! 🤩
I adore and love my neutral wardrobe, i wear it every single day, thanks to you Bethany. This year i want to introduce red and green into my wardrobe as i think they would match all of my neutral tones 😍 love your style!
I have a body type similar to yours.. Height and measurements. I have gained so much from looking at your videos. Not just style tips but confidence too. I seriously want to enroll in your masterclass next year. I'm already on the waiting list. Keep making such videos... They're too elegant.
So happy for you, friend! 🤗
@@bethanyleonardo Hi how are you today my love your friendship and WhatsApp plz 🌹🥀🌻🌺🌼🌹🥀 I'm excited
I loved this video and will watch it again! So full of great advice. Thank you 😊
Thank you! This one my favorite videos that you've done!
It's your style with neutrals that drew me to your channel. You have helped us neutral lovers so much.
I have been learning a lot since I discovered your channel.... I am 48 and I realized that my style is kind of romantic and also now I buy my clothes looking for quality and something that I can mix match.....love your channel thank you 😊❣️
Hi Bethany. I love wearing black. My skin is light with a cool undertone and from the time I was a teenager I was always drawn to neutrals. Wearing that little black dress with the right accessories is never boring! Thanks for the informative video. 🌞
I can totally relate to everything you said. I love your style 😍 it's definitely not boring
I'm already on the waitlist for your course and I'm super excited!
Excited for you, Sophie!
I am a bright winter and I know I can pull off those bright colors but I wore only black for years. Started playing with the bright colors and now all I want is grey, white, black and even some dark cool browns lol I think it goes to say that the colors that you wear should align with your personality as well and my personality is very introverted but wild around people that I know which is how I feel about neutrals, like they are secure, dependable but you can still have some fun 😂 I enjoy what you said about handbags and jewelry which is so true. I alternatively am very high contrast but I’m very attracted to creams as well, but pairing with dark denim and textured shoes to create more contrast overall.
Thank you for sharing how we can all help the environment by shopping more responsibly. We should all work to accumulate less stuff and love more quality pieces. Neutrals forever! 🥰
Love your style😍
Your dressing style is something different and elegant . I really love it .
Thanks so much 🥰
love the tip of black-and-white photo to reveal contrast. I've studied this but haven't seen this tool before. And the tip of texture is one I have found so useful. Christmas I wore an 'all white' outfit but with multiple tones/textures. Not boring at all.
Your masterclass was the best investment of last year. I learned so much from it and I discovered things about me and my style that I didn't know were there. I also became more conscious about my purchases and I have made the commitment to shop with purpose. My wardrobe is a lot more cohesive and I am investing only on quality pieces. Thank you Bethany!
Love this, Karyna! So excited for you!
That’s literally my closet. At the age of 60 I am in love with my closet. Mostly black and beige. It’s my comfort zone. I don’t do good with color! You are an inspiration in classic style!
Your place looks amazing! Home tour!
I've always found it hard to get neutrals to work for me. I am a low contrast person and still unsure if my skin tone is cool or neutral. This video did give me some clarity on what contrast I should wear :) thank you so much for this!
Same!!!!
I'm a fair-skinned person with a faint golden skintone; neutral make-up foundations match me best. Warm foundations are too yellow and cool foundations are too pink. So what shade of foundation do you wear?
love this so much. my wardrobe is almost exclusively black, white, grey for neutrals and blue and red for colours since i'm a dark winter. today, i discovered that my red, blue and white skirt can go with my navy, white, grey and black tops. that's easily 8 or more tops i have... it's amazing, really. love you 💕💕💕
Love this video!
so good!
0:28 🥰 Fitz.
Thanks for adding your makeup details in the description box. ✨👌🏻
Glad it helped! ❤️
This is the video I needed 💖
Bethany , love you’re video and style 🥰🥰🥰
I would love to learn more about how and what colors and neutrals/tones compliment different skin undertones. You are the only style content creator I've seen that gave the black and white photo trick and recommendations to stick to on the grey scale. Such an easy self analysis tool! I love your content and your voice and audio quality is so soothing.
Thanks so much! 🤗
Hi Bethany! I'm patiently waiting to take your class! Love!❤
Opening soon!
I got given a promotion at work. I'm so glad I took Bethany's Masterclass so I know how to dress for the part but also for myself! Take the course if you already haven't people, its a lifesaver!
Great video Bethany 🥰
Love it! Congrats on the promotion, Zeo
@@bethanyleonardo Thank you! 😊
There are some very saturated shades that look AMAZING on me. I don't think any of the trouble of putting wardrobe pieces together could make me give them up. But limiting my color palette and incorporating more neutrals has been a game changer. And when I wear neutrals, I try my best to stick with the warmer tones, which is something I learned only recently that's been very helpful.
Highly recommend this course. I had my doubts but really got a lot out of it.
Thanks Mara! Glad it brought you great value 🤗
Can you make a video focusing on skirts and dresses to look tall?
Definitely! Once the warmer weather returns.
I've been gravitating towards a more neutral wardrobe and it's been lovely
I completely agree with all this. Even though I know 'less is more' I do think I find it hard to start with neutrals first. And then it depends on what neutral works best since not every neutral works for me. I'm finding now that my neutrals tend to be a bit more muted (after much process of elimination lol) but it's definitely been helping with my recent sewing projects as well as shopping!
I just love this lady.. She is❤❤
🤗💛
Very informative💕
so glad to hear it 😊
You are such a great inspiration i had just started my journey in transformation .j bought a neutral shade jacket i was insecure about it but your this video made me confident about my choice thnku soo much
Pls make more video on your feminent dresses i will love to see that.
I love your videos. You dress beautifully!
I would love some videos on best pants to buy for certain body types, blouses, sweaters, coats, dresses. And where to get them. Best quality, best fit. 😊😊
Bethany, you look so professional! This looks like a tv show. I'd watch the heck out of this! 💕
Thanks so much!
@@bethanyleonardo omg you're welcome! 💕
Bethany, I honestly love your channel & every single video, you have vast knowledge in your field & you articulate everything so scientifically & beautifully! ❤️ ❤️
P. S. I find your voice so sooooooo soothing. MashAllah 😍😍😍😍
I can relate to a sort of overwhelming choice if I involve color.
Neutrals are crisp, easy(er) -- yes I know not grammatically correct lol
And neutrals still look great! Boring my ass lmao
I struggled to begin with putting outfits together and not knowing what styles textures that go together, or if something it too casual up top/fancy on bottom or vice versa. . Throwing in colors is too much if you're overwhelmed to begin with.
Thank you for helping me start with a good foundation in upgrading my wardrobe, Bethany!
Someone described my wardrobe as being monochromatic. Personally, I like the label ☺️
Thanks for the tip regarding contrasts. I experimented and turned a colored photo of mine into black and white and realized I have a high contrast between my skin and my hair. I now know why I looked bad in my mid-tone lavender coordinates even though I love the color. Lol! :D
Such a useful video
Glad to hear it was helpful ❤️
The contrast comparison was helpful. I hadn't heard it explained clearly like that before. Have you ever done men's style videos? Thanks.
Having been a graduate of Bethany’s course, I can only say that everyone should give themselves the gift of taking it. I learned so much about myself. What an eye opener it was and how inspiring it was to learn what truly reflects me in the clothes and style I put out to the world. You’ll never look at clothes in the same way again, since you will see how being unique is a blessing. Enjoy!!
Love this, Elfriede! So happy you enjoyed the course!
I was waiting for ur video. I follow all ur suggestions which makes me easy to style, just love ❤u maam from bottom of my hrt.
thanks for being so encouraging ♥ love right back!
I started to ware more nutrals in my work and causal day. I never felt more confident or grown up. Thank you for your sharing your wisdom and experience.
So happy to hear this, Megan!
Bethany, will you give a haircare and hair product routine??
coming soon!
I love my neutrals clothes and the color I add is in my accessory or if I'm wearing a blazer I wear a blazer with prints
Dearly Bethany! I agree. The clown volor palette is hard to pull off elegantly. Lily Collins can do it quite well and I will leave that to her in Ca'an!!! Thank you for that style course!!! 🌹🌻 Xoxo J
ha too true, watching season 2 now 👀
Hello Bethany. People who judge others out loud have not learned etiquette. You have done a lot of research that lead you to choose your colors. Investing in quality costs money so it's not practical to start with multi-colors that are harder to match. Building on neutrals is wisdom. Love this video, your fashion wisdom, and your style. Love love love you! 🥰 XOXO
I'm always amazed at how many people thinks it's ok to make personal criticisms/critiques to someone's face!
Neutrals are never boring. I’m leaning towards more neutrals these days. It’s classic and I can style with minimal jewelry.
I have a cheap wardrobe, like a cheap univ wardrobe. But when i was introduced to neutrals a couple of years ago, all the clothes i invest in just have to be neutrals. They are amazing and looks so simply sophisticated in a way. And the way one carries herself with neutrals makes them stand out because it looks naturally elegant 🤍
What an awesome explanation of the neutral palette against your skintone! Been a fan of yours for a long time and I'm so happy to see you have reached 1M and that your course is successful! You're not only a style inspiration, you're a boss inspiration :) To more success for you this year!
Oh thank you so much, wish I could tell you how encouraging that is!
@@bethanyleonardo lots of love to you!!
You are so positive, so sweet ....🌹🌹🌹🌹
We love you a lot ❤️🌼
xoxo!
@@bethanyleonardo ❤️🌼
I used to like all the bright types of colors you know like red, yellow but as soon as I grew up I started to opt for more soothing colors and now I am 22 yr old but instead of choosing a trendy color, neutrals are becoming my choice cause they look subtle,peaceful,eye-soothing and it makes me look more older than i am😅which i like alot
I get so paralyzed by picking a color! What will I wear more? What will I want? FOMO for the other color? What will go with more things? ….the neutral wardrobe is something that could help me massively.
Yes! Definitely can be a struggle!
I really like all ur videos.Can u make a video on how to really organize the closet and dump old clothes without feeling too attached.Im guilty of it.
ha I totally hear you on being attached to clothing. I had to donate a pillow the other day and I felt I was abandoning it. I would love to do that video idea though!
I see trends and colors as the sprinkles to a sundae-fun to play around with, but definitely not necessary (for me at least). I’m like Bethany-I love seeing influencers in bright color blocked outfits, but it doesn’t suit my personal style, what I feel comfortable in, and what I’m trying to convey in the world. I’ve gotten to the point where I have a huge wardrobe of workhorse classics primarily in neutral colors (all of which I wear regularly) and I love these items dearly. There are a few investment pieces that I would still like to add, but overall my wardrobe feels very complete for most seasons. So now I feel like I “get to” experiment with a trend I’m interested in (if I see it having long-term viability) or a few new colorful pieces and combinations here and there. But it’s so much easier and more enjoyable for me to do so knowing I have the wardrobe built on foundational pieces already in place. Another thing I’ve noticed for myself recently but it’s so well known that it’s a cliché at this point: trends are cyclical, so just buy what you like regardless of whether it’s what everyone else is or is not wearing. Going through the 2022 trend forecasts for this year, I found that I already owned most of the things the industry is recommending because they were items that I’ve loved for myself for years. Things like this make me feel proud of the wardrobe I’m creating, for its highly sustainable nature in addition to its ability to represent me well.
Can we see a closet tour?
i didnt know u guys were married ahahaha congratssss i love ur teamwork, and bethany, your tips are amazing and there s always a new thing to consider and learn, thank you
Oh thank you, so happy to hear that the videos are helpful ❤️ and yep, we got married young! We hope to see some of the big milestone anniversaries one day
@@bethanyleonardo how young were you? If it is ok, to ask 🙈
I love the feminine style of dressing sense you got...
thanks lovely!
I have been watching your videos for years and my style has changed so much since then. I really can’t afford to buy too many pieces so I have been focusing on buying basics. By the way the blouse that you show from 9:30 is beautiful, where is it from?
Hi! It's a dress from Doen 🤗
Hi! Thank you for information, yet I'm curious, does mid-tier colours really don't suit you? Could you possibly show it yourself in one of the next videos?
Hi Bethany,
I love your style so much. It really resonates with my personality.
I was wondering which stores you shop for your beautiful white cotton and lace blouses.
They are romantic and youthful but I don't seem to see any online.
Thanks!
Sezane comes out with these in the spring
Doen is my go-to 🤗
Hi @dearlybethany i really love your hair color and I really want to know what shade you're wearing. 🥺
Video on haircare, color and cut coming soon!
Dear, Dearly !
Have you thought of launching your own line of clothing and accessories? I would be your first customer standing in line.
Your style is international class and quality .
Maybe someday!
❤️
Bethany; my huge problem is that I have a grayish undertone and low contrast hair and skin. What neutrals knock out the gray undertone??
Same here, I can only wear bright/crisp white. Ivory, tan and brown colors look dingy on me 😭 I look good in jewel color, btw.
You would probably look best in cool undertone neutrals, think a cool tones like a charcoal gray. The charcoal is like the jewel tones of the neutral world. You wouldn’t do well with a muddy charcoal. It needs to be a crisp blue toned darker charcoal. I hope that makes sense. You could also do a light gray, with a blue undertone.
Cool pastels? No bright colours because they overshadow you and no warm colours because they wash you out.
♡
Wondering if the Frame Breton top linked above (is it more of a cream and navy or white and navy)
Cream, matches the warm tones for my skin tone 👍
I love cool tones neutrals but I don’t look great in them. My biggest problem Is finding the correct white tones . It’s really hard when shopping online.
I end up purchasing online a variety of options- sizes, colors, etc. as I am hard to fit and colors online can be hard . Hopefully, I get free shipping and return locally and quickly as I am not interested in getting stuck with items that I don't love.
Hi Bethany, what size are you in the cardigan?
xs
@@bethanyleonardo Thank you!
Where are your white and black boots from on them cover photo ?
I was going to ask this too 😉
Paris Texas Rodeo 100mm ankle boots 🙌
