Rule #4 reminds me of a favorite Picasso quote that I share with my poetry students: “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist”
It's so rare to find fashion videos that really delve into more philosophical approaches to style. I love the tip about irony-never thought of it in that way before-and the whole video is so on point. Thank you!
Indeed, dear Christie, Dearly Bethany truly teaches style and she does it from a philosophical point a view. I appreciate the manner in which she provides information. There is also another youtuber, Anna Yakimenko who is a Russian professional stylist based in Milan who also teaches style and not fashion. Her concept is also about implementing style not only to clothes, but to our daily life in general, eg. to home interior/exterior, eating,... According to her, a woman with style is the one who is harmoniously stylish in every aspect of her life. You can watch her videos by putting on the Subtitles option in English language, as she speaks in Russian. She is very methodical in her teachings and very agreeable as a person to watch/listen to.
I am so loving the content that you’re putting out right now. It’s like walking into a new blossoming transition of life and I am right there with you.
Ooh the color one is so important yet so frustrating. The last few years of fashion have been great with warm tones like mustard appearing everywhere. Now I see many stores turning to pastels which do absolutely nothing for me 😞
I wish brands would consider both warm and cool skin tones when doing their collections instead of focusing on just one each season. It is Autumn (fall) in the southern hemisphere right now and pastels are still everywhere. They don't do anything for me either.
This video is incredible. I loved seeing the color swatches on the screen as a kind of border to the video as well as showing warm and cool, really beautiful work.
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 thnku for ur prayers we really need this , we're having a toughest time , so many r dead for lacking of oxygen but our PM didn't take any actions, only students and businessman try to do things that govt should do , so really thnkuu we're really very tired at the end of the day
your hair is getting so long and beautiful, Bethany! also, thank you so much for explaining the concept of "irony" in your outfits, as I didn't quite understand it in your past videos - so this was a super helpful explanation! ☺️❤️
For real! I can listen to her podcasts(if she ever made any🥺) for hours with absolute pleasure, the dialogue, the delivery everything, its so well articulated, no fake “tips or tricks” just pure knowledge based on actual knowledge. Love it, love it, love it. 💕💕
I always thought I loved clothes but after listening to you I understood what the love for clothes and crafting actually means. You described it so well as if you feel every thread of what you wear. We all need to have this level of passion towards our garments to fully express ourselves. Thank you for such an explanation 💕
How to know one's color tone? I don't know what suits me better. I have a fair complexion but don't know what color to wear. I have all the light and dark colors.
@@bethanyleonardo You too Bethany!! I just saw your new profile banner here on RU-vid :) So beautiful! And a new Style Mastery video every week? You and Zack are spoiling us!
Wow. I just love listening to you talk about why you choose what you wear. I have never put this much conscious thought into my clothes. You inspire me.
To be honest, I came across your videos by complete chance. I would not even consider myself particularly fashionable. However, I'm very impressed by your clarity of thought, your dedication to your wardrobe and the thoughtfulness and at the same time effortlessness of your outfits. I find your whole approach very interesting and inspiring! So thanks a lot for making these videos!
I love the idea of supporting up + coming designers... who are you loving these days and also, what search tips do you have for finding some? I have a hard time wading through the masses on Instagram, Pinterest, etc. Thank you! xo
Thanks Kate! I love the idea of making a video for this and my techniques for finding new brands. A few of my favorite smaller brands off the top of my head are Ozma, Jesse Kamm, Rachel Pally, Laude The Label, Nisolo Shoes, Tradlands, Mille, Seek Shelter, Janessa Leone, Gigi Pip, Pamela Card Jewelry, Merit, Von Holzhausen. 🤗
I might be blaming you later for turning me onto Mille... swoon!! These are all fantastic suggestions. I previously bought Nisolo Dari booties after watching the vid highlighting your collection. Love them. Thanks again! xo
This was an exciting topic on which to hear you speak, since many of us have been with you for years, seeing you make so many excellent strides in style. Thank you for sharing your perspective on your mistakes - it’s truly helpful!
Hey, I'm Sweta from India. I love you work and every outfit that you carry and style. I love your jewellery the most, can you please make a video on that like "from where do you buy" and is it gold?
You are so gifted with a mind for fashion and I’ve learned so much from you. I was so sad when I thought you weren’t going to make videos anymore because you are so different from the cookie cutter influencers. Love how unique you are 💜
I love how you analyze clothing and style! Plus this style of video - it is indeed art - I can tell art is your craft. :-) Do you have a style evolution video - how you found your style?
I'm a broke lil fashionista. 98% of my clothes are from thrift stores. I can never afford anything over 10 dollars or 20 dollars. With a small budget, I really pick my clothes carefully. Color pallete wise, budget, quantity, and even quality. There are good days and bad. Sometimes I'd buy something that are too dressy or hard to mismatch. I'll just find myself wearing the same top and bottom cause only both of them work together. Your videos are really helpful to me. I always follow your tips. I religiously take note of your advices to heart. Especially the warm undertone advices. Life changer
This is such a lovely video; I’m so happy you’re back! I really struggle with brand loyalty (and now have an almost exclusively Dôen/Christy Dawn wardrobe 🤦🏻♀️). I think it may be time to branch out... which is so hard, especially when the brands you love have really mastered the art of FOMO marketing. If you’re looking for new brands, I’ve recently fallen for Oak Meadow, L’Envers, and Silversaga 🥰
"You can look in your closet and find, reinvent new ways to wear things." That's what I'm currently doing! Some outfits don't match but some do and people stare at me for that look but I know that I should trust in my self and my style more, and I'm on the path of overcoming my self so it helps ^~^
Brilliant video😍 I found your chanell few weeks ago through pinterest and already watched almost all of your videos😊 loved them all so much because I'm also petite and struggle so much to find right fit for me but thanks to your detailed descriptions I started to realise how much I lost my self in this search for right size and how much I fell into quick fashion choices. Your style is a piece of art and I can't wait to see more❤
Bethany, I usually don't coment here on youtube but I just have to say: I'm so glad you are back! I have always loved your videos, they are super informative and beautifully edited 🌹 Thanks for the inspiration you bring ☺️ Take care
Hello Bethany 🥰 I love your content and your style and you’ve inspired me and educated me so much in my journey to curate my wardrobe ☺️ (I’m a petite and approaching the end of my 20s so I think my soul is asking for change!) I wanted to thank you for that and ask if you could do a video on your best practical advice to care for those pieces that you love and wish to keep for as long as possible. I know this may sound like Laundry 101, but other than separating whites from colors I’m not sure what else I can do to be nice to my clothes without becoming overwhelmed or sending everything to dry cleaning. Thank you!!!🤗
thanks Maria! You're not alone, that is a request I often get. For now I can tell you that I use a steamer on my clothes between wears. Steamers are more gentle on clothes than irons, esp silks. The steam deodorizes and somewhat sterilizes, aside from removing some wrinkles. I do iron when needed though. And I wash clothes with cold water on the gentle cycle. And I use Woolite delicate detergent for silks and woolens.
When redoing your wardrobe how many pieces should you have in your wardrobe? For example how many pairs of shoes? How many pants? How intentional are you with it? Do you follow like the capsule wardrobe? I’m asking because I know a lot of people tend to overwhelm themselves with so much clothes and end up not being able to match them .
I haven't been searching from long n long time channel like this finally found it😭 your channel n videos are so unique and informative really wanna appreciate all ur efforts ❤️❤️❤️❤️
🥺your videos just me feel like, why I can't have them 😭. I really want to buy a lot of clothes you own, but I can't as I can't find them anywhere in India. Though lots of love for you, love your videos ❤️
Long before I could afford better fabrics I learned that dressing in colours that are right for my complexion to be far more expensive looking than any pricey fashions in unflattering shades . Often by being closed minded to new things on every front leaves many good things unexperienced in life . Modern classics are my style but I do occasionally buy something of another style sometimes b/c I liked something on someone else . The item is usually soon returned but I was willing to try it .
Your videos are so clam and are so educating about clothing I really love your voice and the way it blends with the background music its a complete melody Love from me to you 🦋👍🏻😊
Thank you, this is really useful 💖 especially right now that I'm doing a major declutter of my closet and I'm feeling overwhelmed by the large amount of stuff I have vs the small amount that I actually reach for and and wear daily. I held on to many things that I never felt confident walking out the door with (although I really did love the pieces) and I see now it was the undertone. I also need to downsize and I love the idea of a no-fail core wardrobe and the basic colour palette. I'll try to use your criteria to think of my current task as "shopping" my own wardrobe instead of a "declutter" and if I feel the piece I'm holding is not something I would have bought today, it will be much easier to discard. Even if it's just clothes, I feel when I streamline that part of getting ready (the wardrobe) it will have a huge impact on how I begin my day.
I love the intro you painted. So beautiful. I would love to watch videos about your painting journey. I want to learn to paint but don’t know how to get started.
This was so informative and well done. Question: do you plan your outfits for the week? Or do you organically pick your outfit of the day as it comes? Thank you lovely
Hi Bethany, I found this video incredibly helpful...such great advice. I would love to see photos of your wedding gown and veil!! Thanks for sharing! ;-)
Thank you so much for your videos, this is exactly what I need right now. I always thought something was wrong with my style, colors, textile etc. Your videos have been really helpful when identifying problems. I unfortunately wasn't born with natural fashion sense like my sister, and feel sometimes bad about it.
So happy you are back! Your videos are my favorite. I'm developing a totally new wardrobe after recovering and losing the weight postpartum with twins. After having three kids and two and a half years I needed a total style overhaul. I love your creative perspective on dressing.
I'm 66 and still trying to find my style. You are so young to have learned all this already. I'm going to subscribe to see what all 8 can learn from you. Thank you.
That warm/cool tone actually helped me figure out the colors! I just have to figure out my color tone 😅 I'm trying to sum up and define my style at my age and lifestyle of casual/semi office looks and feminine, dressy weekends 😉
"Always buy the best quality you can afford"...currently doing this after wasting soooo much money on fast fashion, never shopping at Fashion Nova again. All the $10 shirts I got from Target for work have holes in them already and it's only been a year.
I love the input about irony! In music, we learn the theory behind composition, but I was also taught, "we learn the rules so that we can break them". That's where innovation begins! Also, the quality of this video is spectacular.
