Hi there 🙋♀️ This time I tried to show very concrete examples: do you find this more helpful than my previous capsule wardrobe videos? Let me know if you have further questions on shifting from one season to the next one. Happy Sunday! 💛
Yes I love that! It is soooo helpful! especially since I never think about colour themes when I shop and end up with a lot of pretty items that don't match or I end up with almost only navy, white and black. Could you maybe do a video on how to match and style specific colours/items? I really struggle with this, as I don't want to buy new things, but end up wearing the same stuff, as I never know how to style the clothes I have, neither colour or model wise. Thanks and love your videos!!!!
I enjoy your videos &tips alot ..I live in Orange County , Southern california ..the shifting between seasons is not as interesting as Europe 🙈😊,but trying to add new changes to my wardrobe to enjoy seasonal different cloth 👒🕶👍(leggings, sneakers and baseball cap is pass par tous in all seasons here 😂🤣🤣)
The inside of the arms of your top are so close to the background color, that it scared me for a bit, thinking you suddenly got stick thin arms. At least on my phone screen, the optical illusion threw me off for sure haha
I am 61 years old and have leaned so much information in the last year since subscribing to your channel! You have enlightened me to so many fashion mistakes yikes! Thank you so much for your informative videos. You put so much effort and information in all of your videos! You go girl we are all benefiting!
Bonjour Justine! I'm following you for over a year now 😍 Since I downsized my wardrobe, I find it's much easier to decide on what to wear and not get too hot or cold - I didn't do an exact capsule wardrobe, but I considerably downsized and then I realized what colors are the strongest in my wardrobe - I have to admit I was a bit surprised 😂 I love your videos, every single one taught me something new, and I keep recommending your channel to my friends. Geez, I already can't wait for the next one 😁
@@justineleconte Light grey, black, light blue and navy and beige aaand dark red. Some pieces are in light pink, white and with dots or stripes. Dark blue jeans and black leggings are a must for me :)
@@LilLadyAy Thanks! Yes, that's me on the profile picture :) I also like deep green, and never really worn yellow and orange since they don't suit me :)
Hi Justine, I never come away from one of your videos without practical knowledge that I can really apply in my own life. That's one of the things I love most about your videos.
I don't consider myself a fashionable person but I find your videos so helpful...so I am not just buying pieces of clothing that I like but really considering the placement of it in what I wear...I found the visuals to be helpful as well as the specific fabric suggestions...I refer back to your videos more than anyone else I watch...thank you for being so generous with your knowledge and time 💗🌞
Hi Justine, another fantastic video! I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate how you distinguish between Ad and non-ad content. You make seamless transitions while still keeping the content relevant to the video. I feel respected as a viewer and appreciate your transparency :)! In regards to fall capsules, this transitional season is always the hardest to dress for in Canada! It will be 5 degrees Celsius in the morning and 27 degrees by 1 o'clock. On the street I see people where shorts and sandals or winter coats...sometimes both.
I deal with this by wearing tights under my skirt and a good jacket. So, when it’s sweltering by afternoon, I just take off my tights in the bathroom and carry my jacket home.
I remember that ! You really don't know how to dress when you're not used to it 🤣 I was in Quebec last year and I miss it so much !! (even with the cold and the fact that I got sick in August because of the AC...) I remember I've seen a girl with a skirt and naked legs by -20°C 😱 I hope she's okay 😅
hi Renee I live in Toronto, used to live in Quebec City; at the moment we are having halcyon days but yes it will change, sometimes several times a day. This makes me concerned about my dog, who has a thick coat. And us? Ah, yes. Layers is all I came up with; peel one off or put one on. Hope that resonates! Justine lives in Berlin (my mother was a Berliner holocaust survivor) and I've been there countless times and their weather is as unpredictable as ours. So I think her concept is sound, and easy to adapt to the climate (word for me was 'adapt'.) Cheers!
Once when I told my son to be good or he wouldn't get to play video games, he promptly told me if I wasn't good I couldn't watch any of those "French Lady" (Justine LaConte) videos. I had to laugh. That tells you how much I appreciate your well organized, beautifully appointed videos. I love these capsule wardrobe videos. I believe less is so much more. That said, the thing I often find missing from the discussion has actually been a game changer for me: I take a few minutes to put together an outfit and that's the outfit I'll wear the NEXT day. And I am here to say I have NO extra time, but I will do this. You can be as organized as IKEA, but if you don't take the time to put a few outfits together, you will run out the door misinformed once again that you hate what you are wearing because of your wardrobe. I found this to be the golden bullet because inevitably, when it is time to go somewhere, I feel pressed for time. So to have something ready to go is perfection. It helps me love what I already have and any purchases I make are typically an accessory or two to pull together what I already have. I invested in a nice set of three hooks from The Container Store so I can have three different outfits hanging at a time. I would hazard to guess we already have the outfit we saw and loved in the store window, we just need to take the time to put it together--that's what the window dresser did! :)
My go to will forever be skirt and leggings for as long as possible into the season. Comfortable, works for riding your bicycle and looks fancier than the degree of comfort would suggest.
I'm watching this video just because I adore your material, Justine. I live in a city in Brazil where the four official seasons are stuck forever and ever on a incredibly hot and humid summer.
Your videos are very specific, practical and helpful. Thank you for such an intelligent approach - no fluff and waffling! Could you do a video on how you do your eye makeup? I like how your cat eye never looks overdone but it is still stylish>
Your careful analysis of making the seasonal transition is brilliant. This is a superb explanation of the psychology of capsule dressing and the best way to analyze your closet and augment it carefully. I am impressed and thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thank you for this video. I managed to put together a more autumnal outfit very quickly this morning. My new mantra is, if in doubt add chroma or black.
I am JUST in the process of editing my capsule. I already noticed that I tend towards more formal clothing instead of the playful touch I had in summer...
Thought provoking as always. You made me realise I do have a colour system after all....lol. My favourite colour is red but I love all jewel colours, cobat blue, deep purple. My base colour in winter is black and then white in summer. They both help the jewel colours pop.
I watch almost all of your videos and love them because they are very educational and I think your complexion looks the best here. You look like radiating gold. So glowing. Love from Indonesia 💖💖💖
Shift dresses are excellent too. You can wear bold tights under a slightly loose shift dress, shift dresses are great, bare legs and arms, to tights or leggings, a loose top underneath, or a cardigan and that dress is evergreen.
I absolutely adore the English mod style of wearing a delicate turtleneck under a shift dress with round neckline. It's elegant, yet flirty. I love mod and how hard I sometimes try to shake it up a bit fashion wise, I keep coming back to it.
Me too I like how inexpensive it can be, right now I'm wearing the same shift I have had for years, it's due a dye, anything that's wore with it has plenty of other mix and match opportunities
In Michigan, you never know when it will rain on your shopping walk. So I just ordered a man's PVC raincoat for 8.00$, in black. The London Fog gets drenched...They have your yellow too, 6 colors. Because of your body heat; the sweaters work
Hey just one always happy to see your updated videos here, summer is navy, cream and pinks And pale blues, not much in the way of beige, it washes me out as have grey hair, but autumn is earth colours, love greens, mustards, browns and greys worn with corresponding trousers, with all my fabulous coats, jackets and gilets paula aged 64 in the UK xx
The best videos on you tube are yours. A real professional giving suggestions on sustainable fashion is an absolute value. You are intelligent, cultivated, interesting and chic. Thanks justine
A designer in Sweden, Gudrun Sjöden, makes sleeveless cardigans and sweaters. Also turtlenecks in thinner materials to wear under even blouses. Our designers has also learned from athletic wear and are mixing materials. Like wool, so you can wash it at 40 degrees C. They work with frabriques like corduroy and velvet as well. In boots you can buy boots in other main colours in your wardrobe. I have several in winter colours like darke blue, purple and darker green.
Thank you for this video. It really helps me to get ready for winter. I really hate the cold, but that doesn't make it any warmer. I just have to get ready and you have really helped me. Thank you so much for the video.
Hello Justine. I find most of your videos very interesting and filled with lot of good info. I was introduced to the topic of sustainable fashion, problems with fast fashion etc, through your videos and have since tried to change my own mindset when shopping for fashion. Great stuff! 👍
I am loving all the fall based videos, where I live it's cold from September through May!! I am still trying to build my staple pieces up in my wardrobe so I love all the ideas!! Your awesome. Thank you for all your hard work!
I add cardigans and put sweater "vests" over plain button up blouses so collar can be pulled out over sweater top. Change to closed shoes and ankle boots ( with socks because I too get blisters)
Wow, I really liked the list breakdown at the end. Made it super easy to compare it to my own wardrobe and see what I need to add and what I need to take away. Thank you so much, Justine!!
I don't have a problem when people wear leather or fur from animals whose whole body is used but to buy fur from foxes or any other animal that are bred solely for their fur is disgusting. People buying this should have an electric prod shoved up their buttholes too! 😡
Every one is enjoying the videos on fall fashion and I am here like...whoa..it's still summer with horrid rains and puddles...and again summer... congratulations on reaching fall that barely happens in India...atleast in my city Kolkata. I saw the video of fall fashion the other week... monochromatic outfit is still my go to... season doesn't matter since it's always summer here.
This video was sooooooo helpful for someone like me who comes from a tropical country (Brazil) to live in Paris. We are habituated to have all our clothes in our wardrobe all year long and all these changes are not so evident for me sometimes! Very very very helpful and useful tips! Thanks a lot!
My colours stay the same throughout the year (I don't wear light colours, always mid range to dark) so I always team up my summer cloths with leggings and layers when it gets colders :) The only thing my wardrobe needs right now is dark brown bottoms (which are surprisingly hard to find, it's always black, navy or grey or the brown is too red, green or light) and proper warm sweaters and/or cardigans. Which I've decided to design and knit myself. How's that for slow fashion ;)
spaceship505 I had a wonderful long sweater but was never able to find the right brown....hopefully whoever bought it at the charity shop have the right shade of leggings.
@@marylhere So annoying isn't it? Why is brown such an underappreciated colour when it makes such a good basic for warm colours the way navy does for cool. It does make you want to learn how to make your own clothes sometimes.
I have pretty much same colors for summer and autumn, with the difference that in autumn I wear a bit more greens and reds. I am a cool season, so most warm colors wash me out
@@polinaracheeva9163 I'm lucky in the sense that I have a neutral undertone. Though I definitely have to stay away from pastels, they make me look naked ;)
Agreed re brown separates. I have been looking 14 years for a dark brown long skirt. Ok mid calf. Wool. Waist darts, slightly A-line. Back kick pleat. THEY DO NOT MAKE THEM. Yes. This comment needed that capitalization.
This also looks like a great strategy for where I live in Virginia, where the weather swings back and forth and can’t decide from one day to the next if it wants to be Summer or Fall.
Merci merci Justine. On ne sait jamais quoi faire à l'inter saison. Ces conseils ouvrent des perspectives 😁 merci pour toutes vos vidéos. Toujours de bonnes idées et des conseils pertinents 👍👍
This video makes me so homesick. I'm currently living in Austin, TX and it's still summer hot. (We actually are having a hotter September than we did July this year), but I grew up 1000 miles NE of here - where fall and winter actually happened. I miss the change of seasons!
your "yellow was the colour of summer so I'm going to assume you have it" comment was funny. I went shopping with my mother-in-law and she saw a yellow top and said "this will look great on you with your black hair". I winced. She was confused. I then grabbed the garment and put it against my clothes so she can see how yellow looks on me. I looked sick. I get the message though. I love your videos, you structure the information simply and clearly :)
I've never been interested in fashion (if that's possible :D) and yours is the first channel that seems really interesting! And thank you for your kind, energetic and funny approach, I really like it a lot! :)
Hi Justine ! I wanted to thank you for all your hardwork and guidance in making conscious wardrobe choices. I have always been a fashion challenged person and I thought I was completely hopeless untill I started seeing your videos. You have changed my life ! Thank you ❤️❤️
Thank you for talking about fabrics. I'm in my early 30s and I am just now figuring out how fabrics change not only warmth and breathability but drape and fit. I was always frustrated when the same size by the same brands would fit me differently. But fabric makes such a difference!
Justine, I wish you'd do a vid about a denim-free wardrobe! I hate the stuff.. If you can't afford to buy tip-top versions of the fabric, jeans are horribly unflattering, unless you're a catwalk model. They're also cold in winter, hot in summer and take days to dry. Yet we unthinkingly go for duhhhh...jeeeeeans... as our knee-jerk casual AND casual-to-smart wear. Time for a revolution!
First class video again. Thank you Justine. Could you make one video about evening wear? Specially if it has to be the big gown, first night at the opera, the ball etc. What you can find are kitschy things from China, classy things for women over 60 or unbeliveble expensiv dresses.
I would just rent something in this case. I haven’t needed such a dress since my high school prom and I do attend operas etc. I wouldn’t use it enough to justify owning one myself.
I've just recently come across your videos - I think they're wonderful and you're wonderful too. I've learnt so much from them. I was such a sucker for fast fashion but you've changed how I think about buying clothes etc. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. You're making a difference.
Love your videos always Justine. Just a humorous aside...I own about 40 scarves in all weights, dimensions and fabrics and in my favourite colours which I have collected over years! I don't include them in my capsule as they are my 'treasures' (I am very very minimalist when it comes to jewelry, bags, belts etc.) I just love to completely change the temperature and vibe of a basic outfit by throwing on a scarf.
This video is reminding me how much I love European autumn. Here, in Canada, it was -14 yesterday 😓 I would love to wear leggings, but they just aren't warm enough for our fall let alone our winter
Hi Justine, Just watched your post on the ‘camp’ Met Gala fashions, loved every entry especially Zac Posen’s flower design, he never disappoints. I so enjoy your videos, you are so charming and smart, having a great storehouse of knowledge about everything fashion. All the best to you.
Hello Justine, could you please do a video on how to match leggings and stockings to your shoes and outfit? Also, I don't agree with your comment that fake fur is more environmental friendly that real fur. It is cruelty free, yes, but it is very poluting to make, it wears out quickly end it degrades just as fast a plastic bag.... not to mention that if you wash it, microplastics go into the water.... Real fur on the other hand, it can last for years and years.... There are companies that recondition old fur coats into new/more fashionable ones, maybe that is a better solution to fake fur. Greetings!
Yes, cruelty-free is what I meant... Note: there are newer (better) alternatives in terms of fake fur, this field is evolving rapidly, towards less pollution 👏
Yay! This is very helpful. I'm packing for a nine week business trip to a cooler climate and was feeling lost. Took a screenshot of your fall capsule structure to guide my selections.
Great tips!! I love the combi of summer skirts or a blouse with a blazer or cardigan. The weather is perfect for that here. Also, you're so cute when you whistle 😊
I also have to wear socks in my boots instead of just tights. Thanks for this video. It comes at the perfect time for me - I was just staring at my closet and deciding what to keep and which pieces I need to look for.
Such a great video. Especially with your many ideas for the third layer. I always feel bored very easily because a cardigan is often the only present option
Hi, Justine! I’m from Indonesia, which you know is a tropical country, and next month I’ll travel to Spain in autumn. This video is surprisingly helpful for someone like me!! Thanks a lot Justine, I’m a fan of your channel!
I have realized i am not a capsule wardrobe person, as i change my style every day and i wear every color of the rainbow. I am ok with that, tho, and i really love your guidelines and your videos!!thank you for sharing your experience with us!!!
Justine, I love all your videos, thanks for another video full of helpful advice! Would love to see a video on how to store and take care of handbags and purses. I've seen lots of videos on the topic but they mostly assume we all have huge closets to display each and every bag which I doubt is the case for everyone (it definitely is not for me)
I love thick, cotton rich tights in black or deep colours. Thick tights say autumn and winter as much as hats and scarves to me, yet hats and scarves can get a bit irritating at times for me.
Canada gets very cold in winter sometimes, so I find capsule wardrobes tricky when I need to add extra under layers. Last week was almost -20°C, and this week it's only about -5°C. We expect it to be much colder in January and February.
Love thus video! It would be amazing if you made another video like this but whit the other seasons! I live in south emisfer and here we are living the oposite situation
Great video as always @Justine Leconte officiel. Living in a subtropical region of Australia it's always difficult to figure out what to do with my wardrobe. I wonder if you might have the time to produce the occasional video with advice for those of us in the southern hemisphere?
i like to think of capsules like living out of a suitcase. You pack everything you will need for the coming months and there you go, only its in the closet :)
I basically don't wear almost any of my summer clothes in other seasons. Does someone else do this too? It is too hard for me to find clothes for summer, cause summer is the most uncomfortable season for me, so it is most complicated to find clothes for. I don't like light colours, but I am forced to wear them in order to, well, survive 😅 Therefore, when autumn finally hits fully, I basicaly store almost all the summer clothes in order to save it for next year. Luckily I have more than enough clothes for the remaining three seasons from the days before I started downsizing my wardrobe because I take really good care of them and I rarely ever bought fashionable pieces even before (though judging by Justine's previous video my clothes are finally in trend yay) Any way, glad that summer is finally over and I can again feel as I'm living instead of just surviving
I can completely relate to this. The only thing I have added to summer-wear is a pair of white jeans and a few shorts, and I feel so out of sorts. The white jeans are beautiful but I hate having to babysit them in not getting them dirty.
august futura I am very clumsy also I use public transport, so I admire you for wearing white jeans, truly. Tbh I doubt they even make white jeans in my size so I guess I'm safe from that? I would like to find some beige-brownish short trousers (we call them bermudas here not sure how they would be called in english) for next year because my denim ones are done I can't even wear jeans during summer because it is simply too hot for me so again, bow to you for that I wear white tops, so I always have a spare t-shirt in my office desk, just in case I mess up something 😅
I am right there with you! My summer wardrobe is linen drawstring trousers, maxi dresses, tees, and sun blocking sportswear. I can add long sleeve tees and leggings/tights under the dresses with a cardigan for fall but when winter proper hits, I switch too. Autumn is my fave palette so I wear it year round as much as I can. I try to make up for the excess in my wardrobe by thrifting and not buying fast fashion. I wear pieces until they don't fit or get holey, and I demote pieces too. I had a thrift store find cashmere sweater I lounged and cleaned the house in until my dogs ate it. 😭
Jenna Hardy Pedersen Exactly, it's just physically impossible to wear the same clothes in summer as in the rest of the year, not just because of the colours, it's just too different in the matter of fabric and fabric weight I work in an office, so for the rest of the seasons I just change shoes and outerwear, but my clothes mostly remain the same in colours and layers and fabric weight
Tabitha Hunter Yes! Basically the same! I also rarely buy clothes and I prolong its use as much as possible My summer clothes are as naked as possible Very light weight fabrics, maxi dresses They are also mostly light in colours, and as you said the palette is just different, in autumn I would feel too out of place in wearing the light and bright clothes from summer, even with layering And it is just too hard to find summer clothes for me, so the less I use them, the less I have to replace them I buy almost everything that is not jeans or coats/jackets second hand And for jeans it's the simple reason that I am big and second hand shops rarely have such sizes, so I have to buy them in special stores or have them custom made, otherwise I would buy those second hand too All of my fancy clothes are second hand, I have a few more elegant pieces from years and years back that I rarely wear, and people can forget that I have them so it seems like I am wearing something new every time I dress up xD I kind of went off on a tangent there, but any way I am glad I'm not the only one It's just the most practical thing for me, and I think that's what it's all about, being optimal with clothes and time and money and other resources
good to have you back Justine, I've missed you! by the way, I also remember you had a video a couple of years ago (?) about seasonal transitioning, and I took good tips from there too. Btw, I am not on instagram, so not sure how your trip to Tallinn went (any inspirations? please tell us during next video or Q&A) :)
