In my personal style journey, I've realised that statement pieces can actually make my wardrobe more versatile. If you're like me, and realised that wardrobe basics alone don't capture your personal style, statement pieces might be a great way to add your personality and style into your looks.

I swear, you're one of the best fashion youtuber out there! Your videos are always so informative and you have such an exquisite taste.
You are too kind, thank you so much!! Really appreciate you taking the time to leave me such lovely feedback :)) x
woman. The pant tuck trick 👏🏻 "simple" you said, and while this is true, you are also very right to have mentioned it anyway! Bravo!
The idea of recap is good. And it is very nice of you to offer many examples for anything you propose to us -in this video and others as well.
Thank you Jean :) Glad you like the recap, happy to keep them in future videos as well x
I’m about to start watching the video but already has my like and comment, lately I’ve been watching all your videos and I’m obsessed with your content😻😻 new subscriber and follower from Mexico 💛💛
Hi Gabriela :) Thank you so much!! xx
Just love the way you talk through your thought process in choosing your pieces. So helpful!
Thank you Serena :) xx
Apart from your impeccable style I really love your voice. You have such a gentle flow in the way you speak that makes me feel really at ease. Best wishes!
Thanks Helen! I love seeing your outfit suggestions and examples of statement pieces! I have been very drawn to Sezane lately (you may have played a part in this - haha) and since I have had a pretty minimalist aesthetic, Sezane is a bit of a statement. I am finding that my closet is much more interesting and easier to style.
Thank you for watching Tanya!! Actually, that is why I like Sezane too - they're so good at doing elevated basics which makes styling outfits that little bit easier :) They're a little statement but not too much which is the ideal balance for me as well :) x
Hope hit 50k soon!
Very stylished girl. Very cute and easy to find clothes and style them. On top of that super humble girl. Not pretentious or arrogant girl like most.
This was so enjoyable and versatile! Loved it!
Also loved thr "recap" after each piece, it ties all the ideas together and make us see everything you just mentioned (that we sometimes just watch unconsciously).
Ps. Also a Mexican subscriber, watching from Germany 😊
Yay! Thanks to your videos I’m always looking forward to Mondays now instead of getting Sunday work blues :)
Glad you clarified statement pieces vs trends as I’ve caught myself buying trendy statement pieces in the past which I can’t keep as a classic - I’d been on the verge of curbing any statement buys 🥺
Thank you! So so glad I can help with the sunday work blues as I definitely know that feeling. Getting excited about outfits is definitely something I used to do on Sundays :) I think figuring out the styles of statements you like and wear often e.g. colour or silhouette or print etc means they will get worn more :) Thank you so much again x
@@DailyHelenJ 100% agree - picking out outfits for the next day is often the most enjoyable bit of my night before heading to bed! 😃 thanks so much for taking the time to reply with advice as always 💕
Hi, Helen! By some miracle I came across your videos some weeks ago and I have to say I am obsessed - your content is like a breath of fresh air! Thank you so much for inspiring me to make smarter decisions by buying less and "shopping" from my own closet, it has truly helped
Thank you so much :) I'm so glad you came across my videos! Very happy that it's been helpful to you xx
This was so fun. Alot of my fall clothes are quite statement IMO.
Statement looks different for alot of people. Since normally I live in black, anything that isn't black is a statement for me, that includes plaids, stripes , color, hell--grey is a statement thing for me and my aesthetic!
Just remember to hold your head up high and wear that piece , the world won't end because you do, and you might find that you love a certain silhouette or color or pattern on you that you wouldn't have known otherwise!
Also if you're considering a certain trend or statement piece try thrifting a version of it instead of buying something pricey, give it a test drive, and if you like it then splurge and by yourself something.
Loving the content as always. We may have very different styles , but that doesn't stop me from learning something new each time I watch you! I appreciate that.
A great perspective :) Completely agree that sometimes subtle to one person, is statement to another! Thank you so much for your support :)) xx
Your style is resonated with me so much. As I grown up I was looking for stylish and versatile style. I love to see your channel plus you shine a good and happy vibe.
You're my favorite fashion youtuber everrr! I am dressing better and more creative since I started watching your videos, and everyone around me noticed :) And also your videos are really calming! Sending my love from Brazil
love these ideas and always excited to watch your videos! :)
Always thankful for your lovely comments, thank you for watching x
Really great concept for a video, and I like your summary at the end. Thanks!
Thank you Anna :) !!
Love all you're videos! If possible, I'd like to request a video on how you tuck in shirts, blouses and especially sweaters into pants without looking so frumpy. The way you do it makes your outfits look so pretty and sleek.
Very cool outfits, love your ideas behind them😍.
Thank you so much :) x
MY QUEEN UPLOADED BLESSSS
Thank you Reign!! I started following you on Instagram and your Paris trip is giving me all the vibes xx
Love the cropped blazer! I was literally just eyeing a navy cropped Betsy Johnson blazer at the thrift store today. Alas, it was a little too small.
But yours fits in so seamlessly with your wardrobe! Well-considered and beautifully styled ♡
Thank you so much Renae! The cropped blazer has proved to be surprisingly easy/versatile to wear lately :))
I HAD BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Yay :) Thank you so much xx
This is a perfect video. So helpful 🙏✨
Thank you so much :) x
I loveeee your style! It is so different to mine, but I still subscribe to your channel :) I love the neutral tones and the elegance
Helen, I have to tell you how stunning the outfit looks at 10:43! I think the wider top combined with the gradual slimming down the legs is a silhouette I haven’t seen you wear much before but is AMAZING! very balanced looking for your proportions i think. And I love that the outfit almost looks kind of edgy on you.
Another observation watching this video after following your channel for 1-2 years is how all black just doesn’t really suit you anymore. Your characteristic pop of color is almost expected at this point and it doesn’t seem like “you” without it these days! Which I think is a fabulous thing. I am heading away from buying black for a while especially for warmer weather.
Can I just say, you look amazing in those blue trousers! 💙 great video as always Helen!
Aw thank you Jess!! A bit loud but definitely feeling the colour lately too :) Thank you for watching x
Our styles are pretty different, but your tips are always very helpful and your videos give me a lot of inspiration
Love this concept Helen ❤️ thanks for showing us that statement doesn’t necessarily mean limited styling! Btw enjoy your Freedom Day… hoping Melbourne is re-opening soon!
Thank you :) I hope freedom day comes soon in Melbourne also xxx
Love your style and so glad you're not like the other youtubers who just want to buy fast fashion.
Can you please advise where your trench is from? I'm in Aus too.
I actually own the striped shirt! Yay for outfit ideas🎉🤗
YAY! So glad that this helps with outfit ideas :) Thank you for watching x
Great video ❤
Thank you so much!! :)
Loved the video, it was really insightful! I had a request though- could you walk us through how you tuck your tops in? They're really smooth and somehow I can never replicate that 😭
Thank you :) Happy to share in some future videos but actually I don't do anything too fancy. I think the fabric of the top is key e.g. crisp or structured fabrics will always have some more creases than a silk/viscose/cupro with more drape xx
Another hit video! I feel as if you’ve mentioned a mood board before, pls remind: How to create a mood board. Thank you!
Hi Ingrid :) I use Canva or Adobe InDesign (Canva is easier to use) and just lay out some items of clothing that I think could work with an item - I lay it out in the form of possible outfit combos e.g. tops/trousers etc xx
Great video. I love the hack about tucking the trousers in sock boot 👢 I will definitely try it. I struggle with oversized clothes because I am 5’2”. Funny thing, I ordered and returned the same black and white striped shirt because it overpowered my frame. But I will try couple of ways you mentioned next time. Thank you xx
Thank you Harnish! I was actually going to return it as it felt SO overwhelming but then it just so happened that I was wearing shorts/tee on a hot day and thought it could be a good swimsuit coverup :) That being said, I do wish it was just ever so slightly less overwhelming :) Thank you for always watching and commenting xx
@@DailyHelenJ Yeah hehe. I always learn a lot from your videos ❤️
Harnish Uniqlo has a grey/white stripe linen shirt that is similar to this Sezane top.. I got mine last year ☺️
@@tigrezz0852 Thank you ❤️ I will check in Uniqlo
Love it! I like the black striped shirt and saw it a few times on ur videos. How do u style it in a more girly way like skirts? Tks
I like wide trousers to cover at least half the heels of my shoes. This usually means that they won’t work with both flats and heels, but that’s ok. Wearing them too short just cuts off the legs.
A great tip to follow! Thanks Kimberly!! :)
I love the styling you have mastered. I want to just say that proportion of the body is an enormous variable. Although I have found a way to style high rise pants, I cannot copy a lot of the style here because of 2 major body differences: 1) I am large chested 2) I am only 5'2" and cannot get away with tucking in as it swallows my waistline. I love your classic simplicity tho and enjoy your channel. For me, a different pant style works better so I can balance the top of the my frame with the bottom much better so I wear AG Jeans flare or skinny jeans with boots. Still comfy and I like the blazers as well.
Lumiere is 5'3" for reference though, so the height difference isn't much
Hi🤗 Love your videos an all your really useful styling tips. Where are the blue wide leg denims you are wearing all during this video from? Love them👍
Thank you :) The wide denim is from Arket, their barrel cropped jean xx
@@DailyHelenJ Thanks, they look great on you. What size are they? And by the way what height are you?😉👍
Great video!! Where is the bright blue jacket from 🧐😘
Thank you :) The bright blue jacket is from Sezane - their Willa jacket xx
Hey! I'm thinking about purchasing the blue cropped blazer from Tibi. Is yours an xxs? I'm indecisive between getting the xs and xss (this is a final sale item, so I want to err on the side of caution when buying) and my measurements are very similar to yours so I was just wondering how you like the fit of the xxs on you?
Hi :) the XXS fits me perfect imo. It still has an oversized feel - the piece is VERY oversized so the shoulders and arms are still very loose. It depends how oversized you want it but if you’re around my size, the XXS will still give an oversized feel x
Random question, but where are your pant hangers from? Thanks! Xo
From ikea :) Thanks for watching xx
I have watched a lot of your videos now and couldn't help wondering how you can pull off all the color shade! From very toned down beige to bright blue or green, all colors seem work great on you! Do you know what your color tone is? as in warm or cool? I'd love to know what yours is!
Hi :) I think I am neutral as I have noticeable blue and green veins and tend to get matched to neutral foundations etc in makeup. However, I do tend to prefer myself in warmer tones rather than cooler (usually) but that might just be preference :) x
Not an expert but I've seen in other videos that wearing horizontal stripes widens your body. Is it true?
I think this is true - horizontal stripes make the body look wider and vertical stripes make the body look longer. But from an aesthetic pov, I usually prefer horizontal to vertical so I think it depends all on preference :) Thank you so much for watching x
Thank you for the information 😊♥️ your video came up in my recommendation one day and now I'm hooked on your channel. Love, love love your videos and wardrobe☺️ New subscriber from India. Lots of love♥️
You have cool or warm undertones?
Hey Irene, I believe I have neutral undertones as I have prominent blue and green veins + tend to get matched to neutral foundations etc. I did use to think I was more on the warm side tho x
Thankyou so much for replying! I think im like you too… i hv both blue n green veins but more to green I think… i love your style btw… thankyou for making such great contents!
How come your knot doesn't come undone when u wear that oversized shirt knotted over that maxi dress?? From what I saw in the video u knotted the shirt reallyyy loose, so does it not come undone within seconds of doing absolutely anything?!
I think it depends on fabrics + how much excess material there is. Some fabrics don't come undone as easy as others. That being said, a safety pin is my best friend if I don't want to fuss with something throughout the day. A quick safety pin on the other side ensures it stays in place all day :)
@@DailyHelenJ A safety pin see! You should mention these tiny details also in the video! If people try and do that loose knot it can get really frustrating if the knot keeps coming undone after every second. Mentioning these tiny details in the video makes sense in my opinion. Function is extremely important along with fashion!
@@swatigautam1686 Absolutely I will always share these tips however I haven't needed to use them in this video. The fabric of this one doesn't slip for me x
