    I’m 71 years young and remember white plimsoles (tennis shoes) were very much worn when I was young, still on trend, trainers now... all that you say is very true 😊. enjoy your videos thank you. 🌺🌟🍒 from NZ

    When I was in high school (graduated in 1983), my “go-to” look was my favorite jeans, a pair of white Nikes, a blazer, and a blouse or button-down (often stolen from my mom’s work wardrobe!). At the time, it wasn't typical. Most of the other students wore novelty tees and jeans or were head-to-toe “casual preppy” (polos, khakis, and penny loafers). A friend of mine typically wore a hoodie, her favorite jeans, Doc Marten style boots, and a blazer.
    Funny how all of those looks are now classics, at some level.

  • @karenmartinlee670
    @karenmartinlee670 Před 2 lety +14

    I have tended to buy complete outfits from one maker: Jacket, top, pants and/or skirt. You make various pieces work together-even when they are different brands. You’re giving me confidence to break my old trend. And I think I’ll even save money! 😉

  • @maureenturk8578
    @maureenturk8578 Před 2 lety +7

    Great video! I agree with all of your advice. I’d add one thing: better to save for fewer, quality classic items than buying lots of inexpensive things. Get the best you can afford on your budget, as the classic items ( as in Burberry trench) will last forever. We don’t need lots of things jammed into our closets. We really only need a handful of classic items. Cheers! 😎

  • @MissLi78293
    @MissLi78293 Před 2 lety +5

    I think I have it all, LOVE the classic look, I just wants to switch out the white sneakers, my trench and also the black heels to better ones :) Thank you Gemma for your videos, I love them!

  • @kerrydyer7155
    @kerrydyer7155 Před 2 lety +3

    So glad you mentioned watches. Noone ever seems to wear a watch any more & those that do wear a big chunky digitals.
    Nothing like a rose gold watch with your white shirt & jeans. Especially your little black dress.

  • @magpie1206
    @magpie1206 Před 2 lety +4

    I absolutely love your channel. I’m in my 40s and though I love to watch what trends are popular I don’t necessarily gravitate towards them. I much appreciate more classic looks and a more polished look

    • @Gemmawhattowear

    Thank you Grmma, it’s nice to be reminded from time to time what classic dressing is, I am loving classic pieces and I have a few of each items, especially the stripe top and white bottom up shirt, i can never have enough of it. ♥️♥️

  • @celiathirlwall3329
    @celiathirlwall3329 Před 2 lety +6

    Hello Gemma! Another great video on the classics! Love all the looks and you look so sharp in them!! I pretty much have all of these pieces but need a pair of nude pumps with no too high a heel. I wish I was more in tune with all of this years ago! Better late than never I guess!!

  • @polly2020
    @polly2020 Před 2 lety +4

    I have nearly all the classic pieces, bar the tennis bracelet and trench coat. You show how pieces should be worn and how to elevate the outfits beautifully. Also the mixing of high end pieces and high street shows you can look well if you do it properly. Thank you great advice as usual.

    • @bettypays7238
      @bettypays7238 Před 2 lety

      I love the way you put outfits together, I've picked up lot's of tips, I still like to look good when I can, trouble is I feel the cold so in winter I look like the Michelin man.( But I am 70& still a size 10) really.x

    Love, love, love these videos Gemma thank you for your content and style tips. I have most of these pieces now….but have come to the conclusion that the reason I still don’t feel good in them is because I’m not slim 😖

    @carolharper4401 Před 2 lety

    I love your videos. I have two white tops, two stripe tops, and a purple trench coat. My trench coat I have had for awhile. It has shoulder pads. I will have to add some of these items to my collection. Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed this video. Love and Light.❤️❤️☮️☮️🙏🙏

  • @n.b.3521
    @n.b.3521 Před 2 lety +1

    Yay, I already have all of these! I'd add to this list a black brimmed hat and sunglasses for sun protection and black 16-hole Doc Martins just because I find them so versatile for my long commute (they work in all weather and look dressier under trousers than many other comfy shoes like running shoes).

  • @virginieclarke3778
    @virginieclarke3778 Před 2 lety +1

    I am 57 years & love blazers. Growing up in Paris blazers were part of every women’s capsule. My favorite designer is Ralph Lauren I like the sporty chic design. Striped top of course combined with a pair of jeans bootcut or straight. And my next purchase is going to be a Burberry Mac 🙏❤️

  • @JuttaBerlin

  • @meghk5147
    @meghk5147 Před 2 lety +5

    I've been binging your videos recently and found them all so helpful. I didn't grow up with sisters or a mom that knew much about dressing and grooming. As I'm approaching my 30s in a few months, I've decided it's time to update my look and dress with more class. Your videos have been invaluable. Thank you!

  • @kimberlyperrotis8962
    @kimberlyperrotis8962 Před 2 lety +2

    Another great video, thanks. I hate the oversized blazers, too, and I can’t wait for this trend to pass. Meanwhile, I’m just not buying any. It’s also so hard to find any quality blazers at all, everything is polyester, even in high high-street brands. I think I have all these classic items and agree with your list. I wore my classic pearl studs yesterday and lost one of the 14K earring backs. They make them so tiny now, because of the high cost of gold, that it’s nearly impossible to get them on right, but at least the stud was still in when I discovered the loss.

    • @kimberlyperrotis8962
      @kimberlyperrotis8962 Před 2 lety

      I don’t have a tennis bracelet, it would have to be fake! But here in ultra-casual California diamonds aren’t worn really, certainly not for day.

    Thanks for the video, Gemma. I've most of the pieces except the camel coat, white shirt and striped top, as my torso is 2 sizes bigger than my hips. So every piece that "lightens up" my torso or makes it look bigger, is no go. My white shirt is navy and my camel coats are dark. PS: love your channel.

    @nicki66 Před 2 lety

    Gemma, spot on, as usual. I have every piece you mentioned in your video with the exception of the camel coat which is too close to my natural skin tone. I feel like a chameleon when I wear it. 😒 The Breton top is a go to for me and I have many of them from traditional boat neck to turtlemeck. I also have it in a variety colours. One that I discovered I like a lot is a red Breton stripe. Thanks for inspiring us to be and look our best. It is never more needed than these past few years of intermittent lock downs, confinements and working from home. Bisous

Is this wardrobe best for soft classic or dramatic classic?....I'm still learning. You seem like a more soft classic type if I folllow properly. Love your emphasis on classics! ty

  • @kimberlyperrotis8962
    @kimberlyperrotis8962 Před rokem

    I love my black silk knit dress from Lily Silk, it’s incredibly versatile. It does have 3/4-length sleeves, though, which I hate. I would much rather have long sleeves, then just push them up when I get warm. The 3/4-length just doesn’t work for cool weather, my forearms will always be cold in them, especially with the AC on, which many places have here in California. At home, I can wear arm warmers, but they ruin the look if I leave the house in them. I also have their black woven silk shirt dress, it’s pretty versatile, too, but it looks more dressy. I love my “stealth silk”, i.e., silk in matte finishes or knits, they look more casual and no one knows that I’m wearing silk, which I only do for comfort, not to impress anyone - I just need soft fibers and fabrics, but can’t wear polyester. I get so tired of those sarcastic remarks like “oh, our rich lady here, is wearing silk again!”, or even once “what do you do, burn $100 bills when you get bored?”. No, actually, I read or go for a walk. I’m not rich, I just have skin allergies, so I might have 6 silk tops to their 40 polyester ones, for the same budget. Quality over quantity is always my choice, my Mom taught me that and my touchy skin gives me constant reminders.
