66 year old, here, retired. I’ve begun to rethink my wardrobe to include only clothes that are 1) comfortable, 2) good quality, and 3) elegant (even for walking the dog!) I need to dress for 3 seasons (spring/fall, winter, and summer). Having moved to a smaller space, and now that I live on a fixed income, I need to compose a wardrobe with the least number of items with which to create several outfits. Fortunately, I have a small frame that looks best in neutrals rather than bright colours. Yet knowing all of that, shopping for clothes is utterly confusing. So thank you for all your planning tips. The Pinterest boards idea is genius.
Hi Dani, I am glad you found it helpful. The best way is to chose a colour palette with a limited number of colours. In my experience that tends to help most.
Hi, lots of women in their 60's are retired and only need a casual wardrobe and maybe a smart casual for going out.
Hi Carol, thank you for your comment. Yes this is very true. Take from this what you want and need. However I have had plenty of clients who still work part time, even if it is volunteering. So I try (don't always succeed haha) to cover all angles.
Between 25% and 29% of women over 65 are in the workforce and labor participation rates have been rising. "Retirement age" in the US according to the Social Security Admin is 67.
@@pmclaughlin4111It depends on what year you were born.
I found this very helpful. I’m mostly retired but do work on occasion and travel a lot. I needed this ❤
Similar stats in the UK
I found out decades ago that if I wear 2 purples together, they might not go together, but if I add a third purple, they all blend. This works for all colors including blacks and whites.
Yes I agree in most cases it does work. Particularly if it is different fabrics.
Good tip
Great idea.
good for you great start
Michelle… so glad I found your channel. I had my colors done 25 years ago and I’m Winter color person… black, red, white navy… but over the years and 2 relocations later, my wardrobe is all over the place… since I travel a lot for work, I’ve gone back to black, navy, red and white and fill in with some of those other colors you mention… like yellow, beige or light blue. Since I’m letting my hair grow out, certain colors wash me out but the black, navy and red don’t fail me. I’m looking forward to the Pinterest experiment… approaching 74 and still working full time, I’m thrilled at the fashion sense you extend to us ladies. Thanks so much.
Hi Rosemary, Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. Yes your colours can change as you age, if you are embracing the grey have you watched my video dedicated to that? If not check it out. czcams.com/video/RgDpyjkEa_Q/video.html
YES YES YES!!!!!!! I am so glad I have found you. I am sick and tired of being told: ear this, don't wear that; instead of giving me tips towards discovering what I am about. I relate to your approach so much and look forward to testing it.
The difficulty for me is finding what I love at a price that suits my budget. That is the biggest challenge.
Thanks for this very pertinent video. Sending you hugs from Melbourne, Australia
I love Australia! haha! Yes I think it is more about finding your style rather than following a fashion or what society says you should wear. I am glad you found it helpful
THANK YOU Michelle!! I'm a semi retired make up artist (film and tv) and like you, I've dressed the faces of the best!! BUT...I'm SO at a loss with my changing body and face and hair!!! I can still give others advice, and do but I'm really having trouble with my look. I found this video extremely helpful!!! Expect contact!!! I'm going to give the Pinterest board a go first. LOVE your presentation! THANKS HEAPS! Love from Sydney Australia. xxx
Ah thank you for your kind words. You live in an amazing country. One of my favourites! Let me know how you get on. I would love to hear from you.
I’m 71 and retired. My wardrobe is jeans and tee shirts. And flannel shirts for an over shirt or cool weather. I have two peasant skirts with a fitted long sleeved tee and low heels for church because I’m orthodox and I dress modestly for the Divine Liturgy. I have a couple of nice tops and the rest of the time I wear jeans. I am living on SS and I’m not going to spend a lot of money on stuff I’ll never wear since I don’t go very many places except to walk.
This sounds very much like to you have a practical hold on your wardrobe which is a great start. Keep the colours to a minimum too and it'll be even easier.
@@capsuleclosetstylist I’m not big on loud colors. I wear only colors that enhance my skin tone. And I stick with that. 😁
Sounds perfect well done!
@@capsuleclosetstylist thanks😀
You are welcome
How refreshing, straight forward, non dictatorial this video was! I'm truly inspired!Thank you, love sue xxx

You are very welcome I’m glad you found it helpful Sue.
Thank God to see a Stylist in a beret and what looks like overalls!!So different! One thing to be considered for those in their late 60s is a tight budget. I still work on a casual basis and am studying again. Tips for our cohort? I try to avoid cheap fast fashion but sometimes have to resort to it and it worries me.
I would try and limit your colours down to make it mix and match more easily. Buy preloved where possible as you will likely get better quality for a cheaper price. And take your time, to get it riht it does not happen over night. I hope that helps.
Love this. I’m a 61 yo art teacher and looking online for ideas to refresh what I have to wear. Wanting to simplify and having a capsule wardrobe is a great place to start. Thank you!
Tha sounds like a great idea, check back for more content as I am publishing ideas all the time. Thank you for the feedback
As a 62 year old, 5 feet 2 inches, long and slim legs and an apple shaped torso, i really struggle to do anything other than leggings and long top. I will definitely book a consultation as like most ladies, I own a lot of clothes and wear very few of them. Thank you for a really common sense approach x
Yes please do I am sure I would be able to help! Plus it would be lovely to meet you! Thank you I’m glad you found it useful 😊
the wide leg casual pants are in, might help but the length has to be correct.
Wide leg pants work great on some body types I agree. @juliequick5526 book in and I am sure I can help you 😊 calendly.com/capsuleclosetstylist/free-consultation
What a brilliant idea regarding Pinterest. I had started one but didn’t really know what I was doing or why. You have helped me focus.
Ah I am glad you have found it helpful. Spend a little bit of time over it. Do not rush the process.
What I wouldn’t give if I could sew! I’ve started this process of culling my wardrobe and refreshing it with only the colors and styles I truly like, I think reflect my personality, and look best on me. Thank you for this encouragement.
You are very welcome and well done for getting started. 🙂
This is all very well, but, the pictures of ladies are not in their 60’s & above.
Hi Judi, Most of the images are definitely women over 60. The times I used younger models was when distinctly showing the audience the four main differences in colour. However, thank you for your comment I take this on board.
This was a great video. Thank you so much. I am turning 60 this month, still working but working remotely. I have definitely ‘lost my way’ and this video was so helpful. Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comments I am glad you have found it helpful.
Hi, I’ve found as I age, the simpler the style, the better I feel in it? I also favour, quite smart basics, in solid colours too, I do not look good in swathes of material, or very busy patterns or frills. I’m petite so I try to keep it uncomplicated. 😊 it’s very easy to be swayed by what others say in your sixties, and I feel really sad about it as many of us lose our confidence too? However, if it makes you feel good? I say, wear what the hell you like! You’ve earned the right. 😊❤
Hi Susan I could not agree more! The only thing we should stop wearing as we age is other people’s judgement! It sounds as if you have some great insight there. It is best to avoid too much fuss if you are petite and solid colours work best too. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
The biggest help for many women would be to take photos of themselves in their outfits. When we see ourselves in a mirror, we can put an emotional veil of bias over what we're seeing, for good or bad, but it's different with photos. We're more likely so see how we really look, without so much bias. I would bet money that a lot of women think they look fat when they don't (that used to be me) and a lit of women think they look ooh-la-la when they look like mutton dressed as lamb. There are countless scenarios where women overestimate or underestimate how good they look in a given outfit. I can think of several fashion youtubers who don't seem to watch their own videos or they would never recommend some of the outfits that they choose to showcase - particularly in the last year, for some reason. I've unsubscribed from five different channels because they seem to have lost their minds. Just saying, take photos to see how you really look. Don't just depend on your mirror.
I agree women often think they look worse than they do. I find this incredibly sad. In fact it is the reason I started this business in the first place. I help them find their happy place again. 😊
@@capsuleclosetstylist hi, so happy you did! Thank you. ☺️🖐🏻🤍
you are welcome
Thank you, thank you...have to admit when I clicked on this video I was expecting the same old capsule advice (every 60-something year old needs a white oxford shirt, or this or that, blah, blah, blah). I was pleasantly surprised that you are very different and I love your advice. I retired a year ago from a career where I spent a lot of time outdoors and had given up wearing nice things or doing my hair and makeup...Now I'm inspired once again to up my style. I've recently let go of all clothing that didn't fit, was in poor shape, or didn't look good on me...I'm still left with a lot and would like to pare down even further to make getting dressed everyday easier. I will follow your advice here. Heading to Pinterest now to do some "pinning".
Hi Pamela, thank you for your kind feedback. Yes I look atit in a very practical way. Take time with the pinterest board to rediscover your style. Contact me if you need my help at any point.
I came here to say this.
I got an aha-moment about dividing the month, which is something I kind of do already, without analysing. I work in a Kindergarten and dress for movement, comfort and robustness at work. At home I dress a bit more stylishly. That is Scandinavian stylish, not British, which to me is more formal. After a few years most of my clothes end up as work clothes. I'm thinking of having that call consultation.
Thank you for your feedback I am glad you found it helpful
Thank you for this, it was very informative and practical and I will take all of your points on board...I already looked up the colour palettes that I love! Great video!
Ah that is perfect. Take time with it too, don't expect it to come together over night.
My god! You know so much and I appreciate that you taught us all the foundational elements before jumping into the clothes combinations themselve. Thanks!
Hello you are very welcome. Yes I have done this for a VERY long time haha. I think Henry 8th might have been on the throne when I started haha. I am glad you found it helpful
This is so helpful and simple. I’ve been so confused on how to do this and I have retired into a much smaller house and I have a limited closet. Space. I may be headed for retirement, but I’m not headed for sweatpants. I intend to work part time volunteer and being involved in numerous things so this is invaluable.❤
Ah thank you I am so glad you’ve found it helpful. Shout if you need further help and check out my blog too lots of info over there 🙂
Love it and can't wait to start this! Thanks so much for sharing what you know.
You are very welcome I am glad you found it helpful
Rather than a mix and match capsule I find having 3-5 complete outfits for each type of activity for each season is simplest. Some items crop up in more than one outfit, but they don't have to. I do still have some extra items from previous outfits which I can use for variations if I want, but if I'm going out for a meal I only have to choose between 3 outfits. If one outfit is fairly plain I can ring the changes with different accessories if I want.
This is a great idea sounds like the perfect capsule!
You are wonderful and so insightful. Thank you!
Ah thank you for your kind words I’m glad you found it helpful.
Such an interesting video. Lots of points to learn from - thank you 😊
you are very welcome I am glad you found it helpful
Love this!! Keep it coming!!
Im working on it haha
Great advice thank you. I have an apple shape figure so not easy to style, and clothes and I are not friends !!!! I do want to update my wardrobe and you have shown me where to start
Perfect I am glad you have found it helpful. Try empire lines and wearing block colours.
Love this best advice I ever heard!
Thank you so much for the feedback I am glad you have enjoyed it.
I thought it would be another fluffy video. Glad I was wrong and clicked on it. Very informative, packed with good info. Many thanks. Approaching 60 now and have to declutter my wardrobe, but don't know where to start, Will try and apply this to my existing wardrobe and remove things, and give them away.
Hello thank you for your lovely comment. Take your time with it don't rush. Book in for a consultaion with me if you think you need help.
❤❤thanks for all you share it helps so much 😊
You’re very welcome thank you for your feedback
So well explanation, thank you so much.
You are very welcome I am glad you found it helpful.
Thank you! Just what I needed!!
Hi Beth you are welcome I am glad you found it helpful
Fabulous advice. Thank you!
Thank you for your comment you are welcome
Thanks so much
I love your approach.
Thank you Judith I appreciate the feedback
Smashing video. Learnt more than I have watching masses of others. Thanks very much.
Hi Jacqueline, Thank you for your comment. I am glad you found it useful.
I’m a slender petite and I won’t buy anything oversized, those styles just swamp me. I won’t buy anything really tight, either, or high in Spandex, which I hate, it gives me bulges where I don’t really have anything much to worry about. A classic fit is best, which skims and shows the shape, but doesn’t cling or squeeze. The biggest style mistake I see my fellow American women make is squeezing into clothes that are just too small, they just make them look fatter!
Yes those oversized trends sre not flattering for anyone. It soends as if you are getting it right and know what works for you
When it comes to fashion, this old proverb is especially true: there is nothing new under the sun. I’m 64 and stick to classics I love, and trends that revive them. I like to dress Smart Casual most days, but don’t wear denim. Thanks for your video🙂
That is absolutely true. I totally agree! You are welcome
I am curious as to why you do not wear denim. I need to get some style, but am not focused on it enough to pay this lady.
Why have I only just found you! What marvellous guidance and suggestion
Hello thank you for taking the time to comment and give me feedback. I really appreciate it. I am glad you found it helpful.
This was awesome 🦋
Thank you for your feedback I am glad you enjoyed it.
I loved this video!
Thank you I appreciate the feedback.
What I like vs what flatters me are very different, and I do listen to my husband opinions because I trust and respect him and he knows me better than I know myself. I love overalls and I did wear them in my 20s but as a 66 year old 👎🏻
Hi Belinda thank you for your comment. That’s fantastic that you can get your husbands opinion! I am referring to the many people I work with who are not as lucky as you. In regards to dungarees if they are not for you that is absolutely fine. Part of the battle is knowing what works for you. In regards to what you like and what flatters you, I am positive I could find something! I’ve not failed anyone yet haha! If you get a moment check out the website too as there is lots of help there too. 🙂
I don't shop. There was a time that I did. years ago for entertainment - Hey, let's go to the mall? 😊 Of course I purchase necessities. That said, there comes a time when you have everything you need and love, as time goes by. I like your ideas!
Hi Jeanie, Thank you for your comment. This is fantastic, it sounds as it you have. workable capsule wardrobe already!
I love Pinterest for loads of different subjects, even persuaded my 75 year old husband to start using it!
Amazing well done! Yes it can be a little addictive.
Dear Michelle, thx a lot for this encouraging tutorial❤. I'm a real minimalist... some same😄 dark blue or black shirts & white blouses who are so comfortable, jeans & a muted colours scarf with flowers💪 & snoopy socks with sneakers😂Sometimes I really like red but I'm too shy. So I tried a red scarf with flowers tone in tone... I try to take heart😄 Wishing you all the best☺️
Hi Andrea, Thank you for your lovely comments I appreciate the feedback. This sounds like you are half way there. Always do what feels right for you, but NEVER hide away with colour because of your age. 😊
I find spring and autumn now last about 3 days in the uk, so most of my wardrobe is winter and summer with a tiny handful of of stuff for the other seasons. And by tiny handful i basically mean a trench coat 😂
Yes I agree though this year we’ve had three days of summer so far haha
@@capsuleclosetstylist yeah and if you think that's bad, I paid a small fortune to go to Lanzarote for two of those days. Where it was colder 🙈
Nooo!
Thank ypu for the free capsule wardrobe info. So many people charge for this and when we're trying to figure out where our life is at, its hard to commit hundreds of dollars for a consult! #newsubscriber
Hello you are very welcome. I want people to feel good and also the more people that can become intentional about everything they buy and make less shopping mistakes the better it is for the environment and them! It is a win win! I can glad you found it helpful thank you for commenting.
Getting my closet purged again, good thoughts to stay focused on and let go of unnecessary items!
Take your time with it. It doesn’t happen over night
I’m a petite size in my mid 70s and I love classic styles but on the casual side. I sometimes get nice comments but I feel I buy too many odds and ends as I’m a bit of a spontaneous buyer, I’m trying to stop that. My problem area is my ankles, unfortunately they are not very slim so dresses aren’t really my friend. I’ve just discovered your channel and enjoying it so thank you.
Hi Judy, try to limit down your colours and learn which styles work for you. Then when you shop be very specific about what you buy. I am glad you found it helpful.
@@capsuleclosetstylist thank you, I will give that a go. Great advice!
You are welcome
I like wearing autumn clothing but I live in the tropics!😂
Autumn as in the colours or the clothes for colder weather? If it is the colours that is all good 😊
Very informative.
Thank you so much I appreciate your feedback
It took me a few videos to finally subscribe.. I'm digging it! 😊❤
Ah thank you for the feedback. I am glad you are finding it helpful.
Great advice. Thanks for simplifying things. I’ve got tons clothes n I can’t keep on top of it. When I need something I grab the same thing for a while before I go searching for another couple diff ones.
You are welcome. Check out the blog too as there is a lot of content on there for decluttering capsuleclosetstylist.com/blog/
@@capsuleclosetstylist Thank you so much! When shopping is a national pass-time, too too much clothes!
This is very common - a wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear - It is usually doen to too many colour and style options. Less is more.
@@capsuleclosetstylist yes, watched your videos and I need to seriously declutter n simplify style and colours, thank u! I look at your rack of clothes on video, and I’m smh.. …Something I’m doing now is buying matching top n bottom, if that was available. Sure beats having to decide what style top goes with a bottom piece.
This sounds like a great idea. Keep going, take your time and enjoy the process.
I only go out 2-3 times in the spring and summer and 3-5 times in the fall and only 2 times in winter. So I only keep 2-3 outfits for weddings and special occasions and everyday clothes for summer and fall times. I didn't know had so many clothes. But i have been up dating everything because hardly anything fits anymore. But I have been upcycling so items too new looks. And jeans for garden aprons with plenty of pockets. I'm a cool tone and stick too chocolate browns,charcoal grays,black jeans and slacks, navy dress slacks ,tan pantsand just found my vneck t-shirts navy,black 1long sleeved and 1 short sleeved ,multiple coloured with blues,cream,and tan. I keep 1 black pant suit for funerals and printed blouses that matches all dress slacks. I just had too buy more clothes that fit and will go with . And yes I bought leggings that are loose fitting look slacks and hang perfectly skinning. And will only keep too handbags in cream leather and dark chocolate almost black cross body. And 2 different sneakers ,4 sandals, 4 flats. The rest will be donated. 2 winter coats in black puffer knee length and below knees, 3 different blazers,1 navy raincoat. 2 black boots.
Hi Betty this sounds like you have really though about how your wardrobe looks well done! You have made amazing progress. 🎉🎉
More non- slim examples throughout would be helpful. I suspect there are more of us with lumps and bumps than the models in your video. Also, having a round body, I avoid empire waists as they are too maternity- looking, even at my advanced age!
I think if you get a good bra fitting and have a thin band across and under the bust with a gentle flare that skims the tummy can work. That said if it does not feel right for you you should avoid it.
I'm eighty years and it seems my wardrobe no longer is working for me. I have always enjoyed fashion but can't find clothes that is age appropriate. Any advice? Just found your channel and the most realistic channel I've found thanks so much.
That is a shame you do not feel it is right for you anymore. I think most of the advice I give at the beginning of this video will help you. It’ll help you focus again. Have you ever used Pinterest?
Please consider ignoring the concept of age appropriate all together, and keep enjoying fashion without that restriction💃
Absolutely! Find your own style
@capsulecloset, thank you for great tips. For this lady who is 80, that sounds like me; this year I’ve been struggling with my body changes and health issues… then I began to really focus on accepting my body changes and concentrate on comfort clothes, my lifestyle and doing all I can to look and feel good. Changing my diet to Mediterranean style and making a habit of Walking as much as I can. I sleep better and feel so much better all around. Small changes feels great!
Yes they can make a huge difference. This kind of thing can creep up on us. I am glad you are thinking about yourself for a while. Thank you for the feedback.
Just found your channel. Found the content to be very useful. New subbie!
Welcome aboard! I’m so glad you’ve found it helpful
Me too
Thank you
You are so interesting to listen too :))
Ah thank you for your comments I am glad you found it helpful
Hi Michelle, this is my first time of viewing your channel,
You say find your redeeming feature but what if you don't have any. 😊
I am only 5ft short and a curvy frame so unfortunately find it hard to get trousers, skirts and dresses that don't make me look shorter.
I have always worn classic styles as most often current trends don't suit me.
Have you any ideas for a 72 year old to still look current but classic style. ?
Hi Sue, I am sure you do have redeeming features! Everybody does! So if you are petite limit your colours. Wear maybe one block colour with one highlight one in accessories. The current trends are awful so I am not surprised you do not like them! Try and keep the cut of outfits so that they skim your body rather than swamp it. Have trousers cut by a tailor so they are as long as possible dependant on the shoes you wear. I hope that helps!
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Lori
Do the colours that suit u change when ur hair goes white?
Yes it normally does change. Not all of the colours will but some will yes.
Funny thing…I saw an extra walking by Bridget Jones whose style I just loved. Based my wardrobe look on that look. Fully answered the age old question…what would this look like if I slept in it? Many of my dresses double as sleepwear.
That is great versatility. Funnily enough I worked with Renne Zellweger many moons ago.
Do you know the brand of the scarf at 0:46 or can you tell me the source of the photo so I can do my own research? It would fit incredibly well in my capsule. Warm greetings from Germany!
Hello, thank you for the comment. This image is from an adobe license so I am not sure of the original but I have found some similar options here liketk.it/4HGnk. I am sorry I can not be more help.
Hi, I am new to your channel and I like your content. I am about to turn 60 and am excited. I have noticed weight gain in my breasts and a little droop and I am wondering if you would recommend a brand of bra that is comfortable and gives a little lift without being a push up bra?
Hi Brenda, where are you based? I know Julie May do some great supportive bras in quite a wide range. They also cater for skin irritability and hot flushes with natural fabrics. You can use code SOCIAL15 for 15% off and you can find them here juliemay.co.uk/
I've had my colours done 30 years ago. The problem is, is that I can't find clothes made in my palette in the UK. It seems to be black, blue and black, I'm autumn.
It's quite depressing, and frustrating.
Do you think your colours still work for you? I find that a lot of the predetermined palettes do not work entirely for some people.
👏👏👏👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you
never had luck trying to understand my colors, but i tend to stick to a few colors anyway much of the time.. blue, green, black, white and grey.. wish i could do this but i just buy clothes from secondhand shops anyway. maybe i will just purge everything that i don't wear anymore or doesn't look good on me. will feel better if i can just do that.
It is always good to remove what is no longer working for you. It is also better to just stick to a few colours. Take you time with it. Also take a look at my blog there is lots of infor there you might find helpful 😊 capsuleclosetstylist.com/blog/
@@capsuleclosetstylist aww thank you!
You’re welcome
Pinterest is overwhelming... Beautiful, unending nightmare!
It can be yes I agree. I would just go on there and take what you need. If you can face it!😊
Hi, just found your channel
All these styles look good on you but I’m a 2x sometimes a 3x
Depending on the cut, I feel unattractive in most anything I wear because I hate my body. I also can’t wear fashionable shoes because of fallen arches so other then a tennis shoe with a arch everything else hurts! Because of my shape I feel like a pumpkin on stilts nothing looks good on me, can you send me pictures of what you think will work for me? Thank you for your time.
I live in Florida and I’m almost 70!
Hi Kim, It makes me sad that you feel like this. Nobody should. Ok so in the first instance without seeing you and working with you I would not want to give you the wrong advice. However two things, I have a video coming out next week which is all about how to disguise a tummy with clothes and colour which it sounds like might be helpful. Also I have a Colour Analysis and Body Type Styling service which tells you what styles suit your body type and what colours work best for you too. This includes images of jackets, tops, shirts, dresses, skirts and trousers etc that all suit your body type. From what you have told me I think you would benefit from that. If you book in for a consultation with me we can have a chat about it more. calendly.com/capsuleclosetstylist/free-consultation
Why when your talking about over 60s atre you using pictures of women who most defiantly not in their 60s, so skin tone and hair co.our is most defiantly different.
Eileen thank you for your comment. Most of the images I have used in this video are of women over 60 and older. In regards to skin colour and hair etc, whilst it can change slightly as we age, there is no one factor that goes into determining which colours suit someone. By showing clear differences in the images I have shown a small example of the differences out there. After 25 years of working with clients I know that frequently most fall between the cracks of the predefined colour palettes of 'autumn' 'cool summer' etc. I constantly work with clients who have had colours done based on those simple categories and they are not right. Therefore it would be impossible to represent everybody in such a broad subject. If you are interested in learning more about colour I am more than happy to chat to you in a consultation. You can find the link in the notes.
@@eileenmaycock5306 agreed, and the screen I’m looking at right now doesn’t seem to even have real women as examples so I’m out now.
Hi Eileen Thank you for your comment. I have addressed this several times. I used some younger images to demonstrate how different colours work and to demonstrate contrast. I wanted to show the extremes so people could see what I was referring to. However, the vast majority of the images are of older women. Most images of older women I have access to to be able to use them in terms of rights have grey hair, which would not work in this case.
@@lindamadden7264 Hi Linda, Please see my response above. I create this content for FREE and have a subscription to images I have the rights to use. When demonstrating colour, I need to show contrast. The vast majority of images of older women show them with grey hair, which would not work in this instance. I am sorry that does not work for you, and I hope you find the content you need elsewhere.
Where are you based, Michelle

Really good tips, but toooooo many ads spoiling the video for me
Thank you for making me aware of this. So my channel has only just become eligible over night for ads which have obviously been added automatically. It is really good to know there are too many as I will look into tweaking this so thank you for letting me know. I’m glad you appreciated the content.
Only thise who can hire you, can benefit from your video. List ADVERTISEMENT in the title.
Hi Dea, just a friendly reminder that I'm giving away all this awesome information for free! Some people can hire me and benefit from my 25 years of experience, but that is a choice. However, everyone gets to enjoy some of it for free. Have a lovely day.
I am 76 and can't find anything to wear. An apple shape 5ft 3in normally size 16. Clothes are too long or too short. I am going on a river cruise in August, it will be hot, i don't know what to wear
Hi Jennifer, I am sorry you are struggling to know what to wear. Without seeing you it is hard for me to give you concise advice, but I would advise you to stick to natural fabrics like cotton, silk and linen as they will allow your skin to breathe better in the heat. I would also try to stick to block colours. If you want to book in for a complimentary consultation with me I can see how I can help you more. The link is in the video notes. I hope that helps a little.
@@capsuleclosetstylist thank you so much
you are very welcome
The wisest most informative video on the subject - thank you
Thank you I am glad you found it helpful
Confused. Dressing for over 60s and the first photo was someone in their teens. Tuned out
That’s a photo of me and Katy Perry??? 😂 I am definitely not a teenager and neither was she. I did use some younger images to demonstrate colour etc as it was easier to demonstrate contrast. However , that’s a shame but I wish you all the best finding what you need elsewhere
@@capsuleclosetstylist yes the younger images to show colour. I never to you and Katy Perry but tx for the forewarning
No problem happy to explain 😊
Once again, women made to feel age has to change how they dress. It says a lot that no one is telling men how to dress after 60. Maybe if women weren’t so pressured to feel there appearance was so important we could all relax and think about something more worthy of our time and abilities.
Have you watched the video because I am not telling anyone what to wear so I don’t understand this repsonse?
Thumbnail picture is of all beige clothes….which put me off this a bit…
Fair enough. I can’t please everyone. Watch the video and see how you feel then. 🙂
I enjoyed your talk about ‘Over 60’s’, but why would you use so many photos of 18-year old beauty princesses ?
Hi thank you for your comment. I have addressed this several times. Not all of the images are of younger models but to clearly demonstrate colour in particular I used some younger models as many other available images of older women had grey hair which would not work. However none of them were 18.
@@capsuleclosetstylist Thanks for clarifying and continued success.
No problem and thank you
You look lovely but your eyebrows are a little dark and overly-arched, they don't look natural and I couldn't help zooming in on them, hope this doesn't offend.
Hello, Thank you for your comment. My eyebrows have always been that shape, which I like because it is my face. Luckily, I am confident enough to say that.
I am unsure what part of that comment you thought would not cause offence? My question would be, why do you feel the need to comment like that to women you do not know on the internet?
I am about helping women feel more confident about themselves, so I will not tolerate this about myself or anyone else following me. I am sorry you find my face that offensive, clearly you must be perfect.
Just for the record, I will always call out nasty comments masquerading as "advice" because they are NEVER acceptable.
Wondering how you think that’s not offensive. You are way off-side my friend.
please post a photo of your eyebrows so we can all critique them
Oh for heavens sake. You missed the point of doing what pleases yourself, not what others think. Pls yourself
