What I love most about this channel is how Audrey gives such applicable advice that is vague yet spans different body types with a particular specificity. Magic.
I love the long coat/jacket trend. I started wearing them a few years ago because I lived in Europe and had to dress business casual everyday. Being cute AND warm was a must. Picked up the trend from watching what other people were wearing and I’ve never looked back. I find a lot of success with vintage Preston and York coats. Often they are well constructed with an nice inside lining.
The only thing keeping me back from getting a beautifully long, cute coat is the fact that they are often a) not waterproof and b) have no cap.. not very weather proof
i love this trend as well. Am still looking for the perfect coat though, because I want to keep it for years. Problem is that I am super tall and even the longest coats don’t look they way they supposed to…
Navy Blue is my “go to”, when I can find it vs black. I’m older and fair in complexion. Black drains me out, where Blue works better for me. It’s a no to the clunky, chunky shoes! My preference is something more sleek and feminine. A nice blazer with a pair of dark wash, high rise jeans on my frame is a definite win. I just have to find those perfect jeans. Lol! I have already check your video out in that one. Audrey, you are a sweet gem. Love your videos, your quiet demeanour, and your wealth of knowledge. Keep those videos coming. 💖
I was confused by the term "long jacket"; to me, that would refer to boyfriend blazers or suit jackets. The items you were showing were definitely coats, not jackets. I've been wearing those long coats since my 30s. I'm nearly 70 now.
The trends that you feature in today's video are great classics. I would love to see you create a video where you show how you will be styling denim on denim.
I'd like a video on how you care for all your clothes. Do you wash your wool and silk? Dryclean everything? How do you deal with yellowing on white shirts? Do you steam, iron, or both? How often do you wash things like sweaters? Every time you wear it?
All those trends are in my opinion classics which are never out of style. If you are on the hunt for great tights get yourself Wolford. The items are made in Austria, are pricey but last and last. I am Austrian and I have never purchased from another company. My oldest pair might be over ten years old (and I wear them a lot, no handwashing!).
Yes! In October 2004, I was vacationing in Paris expecting to go bare-legged. Well, it was too cold for that, so I popped into a department store and purchased a pair of black Wolford tights. Here I am still wearing that same pair of Wolford tights, winter 2023!
Thank you Audrey for mentioning denim on denim. I have a lot of denims and chambray blouses. Grateful I didn't give it away. I also love silk and linens actually.
I'll admit that I'm very rarely on trend but absolutely adore when the things I like are trending. It makes it easier to find pieces that will last me so much longer and even pieces that are comfort-zone adjacent.
I'm so glad I didn't get rid of my long coats, it seems I have so many coats and wanted to get rid of my long ones but figured no I'll keep them, glad I did.
I have a denim jean jacket that perfectly goes with a certain pair of jeans. I paired it with a ruffled Jean Paul Gaultier cream colored ruffled shirt. It’s cute and makes a great spring outfit. Both were in my closet already and I didn’t have to spend a dime. 🎉
Audrey, you have this amazing gift of being able to share your opinion with such care and kindness. :) I have a long coat that I've had for close to twenty years now and people still give me compliments every time I wear it, so I love that you talked about this.
I love hats. Last year I wore my black Lululemon baseball hat everywhere including Rome. Hats were my saviour during my grey hair transition. I agree with this video's trends. Thanks Audrey.
Enjoyed the video and will never give up on the classic styles u mentioned. I am 52 y.o and saved a 90s sheer black column dress with very subtle beading . It came with a black slip to wear underneath . I still get compliments when I wear it.
You are officially the sweetest and most uplifting RU-vidr :) I haven't watched one of your videos in ages but clicked on this on a difficult day, and your smile, musical voice and style tips were such a cheer-up. Thank you! On board with all your tips here except the ballet flats... I'm slim but my legs just don't look good in them, they just look dumpy on me. Lol!
Audrey is fulfilling to hear you talk and explain the trends. In New York 🗽 during the winter months there’s a lot of “Wednesday Adams” effect which I love. I had to admit that monochromatic is an easier way to dress for me. Your sweet voice is always a plus to your videos. Happy 2023 to you and your family.
Wonderful! I have a few of these already! The jackets, all black and tights. I don’t wear baseball caps but I have a variety of hats. It’s fun when my style is a trend.
Thank you so much for your pragmatic approach to dressing and style! I have seen over the years ballet flat going in and out of style. For me, they have always been in. My favorite pair is a 20-year old, J.Crew Made-in-Italy pair that Ive had repaired over and over because they are perfect! In addition, I love my Repetto ballet flats! Dressing in all black is another favorite style for me! Thank you so much!
As always, so relaxing and interesting. 🥰 I like that most of these, I can already do, with the exception of those long coats. They look to die for and I do not have one! But everything else I could incorporate with at least one or two pieces in my closet. These trends come across as timeless and classic and I'm excited about them.
Thanks Audrey for the double denim tip. When I lived in Germany, the look was called a 'Jeans Anzug' or Jeans Suit (not in a good way) , but the blazer on top made all of the difference.
Another excellent video! I really appreciate videos where you feature pins and Instagram posts. You have such a fantastic eye and I appreciate the diversity of images. Love denim on denim and long coats in particular. I might just try a baseball hat!
Since I never have any idea what's trendy or fashionable at the moment these video are always a nice way to get a feel for what's going on right now and what might already fit into my day to day style. I love the long coast and will definitely try the denim-on-demin look and maybe a darker baseball cap. I only have a very bright one for the summer.
I just want to say, im so inlove listening to your videos..even im not watching..just listening to your voice make me interested of the information..so relaxing
i would add chunky boots to this. maybe not the extreme platform kind, but living in a cold place i appreciate the extra grip on the soles when walking in winter. and some of these are added to classic boot styles that dont go out of style (like chelsea boots). so practical. now i cant imagine buying shoes with flat surface on the sole or no grip.
i like how baseball caps look on other people, but i can't seem to pull them off. i generally have difficult with hats because i have a large head and super thick/dense hair
I loved how you curated everything & it does seem applicable as well. Also, it reminds me I recently wore Denim on Denim after so long, & it looked really good. And long tailored coats are my all-time favorite. Like you said, TIMELESS :)
I’m a Canadian and I do not avail of this Tuxedo. Tragic! I would like to try it this year. Tights/Boots and all black are some of my absolute favourites, it’s never gone out for me. I’m really loving navy as of late, I think it’s a power colour for me. I feel great in navy! For long coats, I’m on the hunt for something that fits well as I am petite like you at 5’3.
I love your videos 💖 and I enjoy most of the trends, especially the black one 😁 but the ballet flats are just not my thing. The soles are usually too thin and make my back hurt.
Podiatrists caution against wearing flat shoes. From a podiatry website: "The ideal heel height is 1 inch. Wearing a short heel is better than not wearing a heel at all. Wearing a shoe with a short heel places less tension in the Achilles tendon and will feel more comfortable."
@@wisteria808 that explains a lot regarding my favourite shoes 😄Wearing well cushioned high heels hurt my feet less than wearing flat, badly cushioned shoes.
I wear a long flowy raglan sleeve overcoat when I go to cold places. It goes over biker jacket, blazer, cardi, vest really well. My bums and legs are protected against wind chill. My coat has been with me for over 35 years. Still can’t replace it with a new black coat.
I love the tips Audrey has given us. Many of the styles she suggests mean that I just have to shift and shuffle what I already own to be "on trend." Need to find a chambray shirt to replace one that was well worn and given up a few years back.
Hi Audrey: I always enjoy your videos and appreciate a lot of the trends you feature in this one. Just wanted to say, though, that IMO, whether we come to regret purchases has at least as much to do with our lifestyle as with the beauty and classic quality of an item. For example, I would absolutely regret buying a long coat this year because they’re just not practical for me: I drive a lot and prefer an above the knee length. 😊
@@korenbrigham I totally agree! I lived in NYC & Chicago for years and used my long wool coats & silk long johns every winter. This winter it’s been unusually cold where I live now & I’m so glad I saved the long johns as I’ve been needing those & my longish down coat for the ten minute walk from car to office! 😊
I am totally on board with finding ageless classics that have both staying power and (if cared for) last forever! I do wear baseball caps. You really need to try them on because the shape of the crown can vary dramatically. Since, I've been wearing them for years, I'd gotten a little tired of always grabbing one when I need a simple hat; so, I decided to invest in a "flat cap." "Flat caps" are a group of hats that are usually one of the many styles of "newsboy" or "Ivy caps." I have a black & grey, wool "Ivy cap" that has the extra piece of fabric on the sides which lifts it a bit. It's fun when it rains, I throw on my wool Ivy cap, a scarf and my long trench . . . ;-)
I’m excited for the return of maxi coats. I can’t think why I ever got rid of the one I used to have. I love my cashmere mix baseball caps from Uniqlo - I’ve got a navy and a black one and they feel cool and effortless but fun.
I agree with all of your pics! Wonderfully summarized. I also have my basic wardrobe and particular style but am starting to watch trends again to be able to buy things that I love AND that are still classic enough to wear for years. Trends also make it fun to try new things.
Audrey this video is so phenomenal! Love your voice and all of your points. You chose such classic styles and make such brilliant points about styling sustainability 👏👏👏
I have worn a denim on demin outfit for a couple of years. I got a little shade for wearing the Canadian Tuxedo, but it makes me feel confident. It's very edgy and more street style, so I wear it often.
Dear Audrey, concerniing boots,have you ever checked the Inez boots. It is an amazing highend shoecompany. The make really beautiful shoel and boots! Best regards to you!
Lovely video Audrey. These seem like classics to me. Bought a denim shirt recently to try the D/on/D look; ❤️❤️❤️ tights, especially w/fun patterns in cold weather- and ❤️ polka dot nylons - wore those a lot in the 90s; all-black or all navy is great too, and like you said, if at least one item has special detailing (lace/eyelet); ❤️❤️ boots - recently found two classic pairs of Dr. Scholl booties (one black leather & one tan faux suede (Amazon) that are super comfy & will last for years; being 5’2” I’ve never enjoyed wearing ballet flats; ❤️ long coats, just don’t have any currently - saw a classic, adorable calf-length ballet pink coat in a movie last year & wish I could find one like it; baseball caps: I only wear when walking/hiking or gardening.
I love the look of ballet flats but they never worked for me.. I think I have shallow but wide feet that's y.. But excited to get sleek boots and good caps! Would you share what kind of exercise or workout routine? Need some inspiration for the new year and have a feeling u might have some elegant tips
I dont think any of these will ever get out of style. They were in style since the beginning and I didn't know that they weren't in style (I don't look at fashion trends).
Thank you Audrey. I think we will look back at some 2022 and 2023 trends and think we looked like wearing someone else’s clothes 😂 but that’s ok! Happy New Year
Baseball caps: it depends on what I'm doing. For hiking, sightseeing, walking around the city (tourist style), sure. But for everything else, that's a no no for me.
In my experience, no pair of ballet flats would last five years - unless worn very rarely - because there's so little structure. I've spent more money to get better quality ones in the past, but never get more than a year's wear out of them. Does anyone have any recommendations for ones worth the investment or tips for looking after them?
I've had my flats for a while, in fact, years. What I've found helpful is to clean the shoes after each wear (as needed), store then in a box or shoe bag, & either stuff the toes or use shoe trees to hold their shape. Oh, & I don't wear them in inclement weather.
I have to have good arch support. I have two pairs of Vionic that are lasting well and I wear them a lot. One is typical ballerina pink and the other pair are black quilted with a patent toe. People think the black pair are Chanel all the time,
I’m Confused all if which you mentioned were never trends more more staples or classic clothing/ shoes . I’ve always had these in my wardrobe.😊 I prefer opaque tights in winter, and sheer tights in Spring/ Summer
Thank you Audrey, I've had such a bad day and just listening to you talk is so calming. You could be reading the Financial Times and I'd tune in. You are great x
As much as I love the look of tights, they are incredibly uncomfortable for daily wear outside of formal settings. I'll definitely keep wearing my baseball hats though
Really? I find tights very comfortable! I wear them with ballet flats, brogues, ankle boots, knee-high boots, and even under my trousers for a little extra warmth. I'm a teacher. I sit on the floor often, I'm constantly running after children, I maintain a school garden, and teach mindfulness and classroom yoga daily...if I found them uncomfortable, believe me, I would not wear them.
Hi You have such a sweet soft voice. Love your 2023 trends suggestion. Good vlog thanks for sharing 💖 I have been trying to find a good winter long coat since a while now. But haven’t found any. Dear can you recommend some brand ? Thnxxx
Style is definitely very individual. The only trend mentioned that I actually participate in is tights. I don’t care for any of the other trends. I do like boots but I’ve had no luck in finding boots for a small foot and athletic leg. Even wide calf’s don’t fit. Of course these are all personal choice. Just my take on things.
