it took me 3 years to incorporate a green coloured aesthetic in various colours to go with my warm skintone. to me greens are earthy and each shade shows the versatility in the colour. green can be happy and green can make you look put together. i just love the colour and i really appreciate how much wear i get from tops, shirts, sweaters, jackets it just suits me very well!
omg you may not read this but thanks for your comment, i'm very anxious and for absolute no reason i always fell like i'm constantly behind in life so i want everything like we say in Brazil "for yesterday", and my unperfected wardrobe is driving me crazy cuz i feel like i desperately need everything that i want/need to wear RIGHT NOW IN MY HANDS and read that someone took three years to get there (where i wanna get) and that's ok, is very calming cuz i know that we don't usually get what we want over the night but actually seeing that time needs time is idk, kinda awesome well said too much already but anyway thanks and have a nice day kisses from brazil
@ThalvePereira awe no problem! Yeah it definitely took time to make my wardrobe how I wanted it to look! Patience is key and you'll get there don't worry! You will find the pieces that you like and enjoy and you'll be very happy with the effort and success!
It took me forever to come up with my unique style and I’ve finally settled with one. I’m half Chinese and half white so I found how to show off both sides of me. I love the western old money style, but I often find it very bland and boring so I want to add pops of bright colors to it and adding Chinese elements to the look like Chinese embroidery, Chinese fan, Chinese hairpins, Chinese makeup…etc.
I started thrifting a few years ago, bought lots of clothes on impulse since they're cheap, probably half of them I don't have now but that process helped me understand the style that fits and gives me confidence. I discovered I love square/heart shape neckline and fitted tops look better on me.
Yes it’s the best way to actually learn with practice if you can afford/access it!!! There’s so much variety and I don’t have any guilt about waste like I do when I buy something new and it doesn’t work
this is so helpful! i'm truly terrible at fashion, i have no idea what my signature style would be other than leggings and sweaters at this point, ever since the pandemic 😂every time i have to leave the house and wear actual clothes i get stressed out, because i have nothing that makes me feel confident and comfortable. getting dressed (up) stresses me out while i feel like it should be fun. i've been looking for that confidence boost and i just can't seem to find it, but your fashion videos are so incredibly helpful and fun! thank you for helping out us not so fashionable girlies 💅
As a cool-toned gal I love my silver jewellery and my go-to clothing items are: wide trousers and jeans chunky monotone sweaters maxi skirts dress shirts monotone sweatshirts and tees blazers doc martens mules Most of these items I prefer in blue, black, grey or white. I feel most confident in these colours.
First of all thank you so much Asia. I’ve realised that last year i studied my tones and undertones and I just realised that I have deep tones with warm undertones and seeing my wardrobe i only choose those kind of colours but at the same time I am experimenting and see what fits me the best❤ I didn’t even finished the videos and your serie on how to build a wardrobe is awesome ✨🎀
@@Sarah-hd2zm I guess it depends on the colour of your veins. If it’s green = warm. If it’s blue/purple = cool. If it’s both = neutral. But you could try the foundation method too by putting sample of foundation on your arm and jawline and see which one fit you well as a base foundation and/or concealer. For me is a brown with khaki pigmentation that embrace my natural foundation. Btw I’m more neutral-warm undertone. Hope it helps
I realise the other day I have an obsession with white button shirts. Whether they maybe crop or regular length, I typically gravitate towards them. I like a pair of light blue jeans, paired with either a classic white sneakers or chunky platform boots. Then I would often switched pants up with high waist trousers, crop plain basic tees, white or black. Footwear style never changes. I like plain gold jewelry, and a clean plain blush pink nail designs, med length. 😉
I used to think of myself as someone who had a personal style. Then I moved to a different country with a different climate and I’m only dressing for survival and it honestly has created me many frustrating moment because I miss the days where I could look and feel good. Please please can you do a series on hot and humid weather outfits that are not short shorts ? 🤯🫠
Thanks to your videos, I've been working non-stop on fashion for two months and have taken my entire style to a new level. Zalando should send you a thank you voucher for as much as I've ordered there since then. ^^ My uniforms: For lazy days at home - Mainly sweater dresses with tights (no pressure on the belly, a little oversized, super comfortable and cute at the same time) - For outside: princess cut coat over it and ankle boots - Baggy jeans or cargo jeans (very comfortable) - Tight sweater as a contrast - Basketball shoes - With a puffer jacket - Wool sweater - Tight, black leggings (the all-rounder)
Funny enough I remember seeing your 2018 video and realizing I also hated all of my sweaters because of the boat neckline and I haven’t bought another one since then 😅 that video really made me think of the necklines that actually look good on me and I enjoy!
It's crazy cos I think those necklines are actually the ones that look the best on me. Btw idk if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine! I’d be sooo grateful if you swung by and took a peek. 🙏 Stick around if you like!
Actually for this year, one of my goals is to incorporate more of those "special occassion" pieces into my signature style! Probably will only be in the form of accessorizing, as that's easiest (also, most appropriate for all occasions haha). While I have been working towards creating uniforms to quell that decision fatigue and overwhelm when I open my wardrobe, I found it has taken the joy of getting dressed sometimes. Maybe it's just a current phase, but I'm gonna wear my shimmery purse to the grocery store sometimes because it'll make me smile more that day!
my staples are cargo (wide leg), gold jewelry, and Crocs are my go-to's, either a cute mini or a tote bag, depending on the day it's a graphic tee or any of my green/brown shirts!
You look very comfortable. Also, I really enjoyed your old video guide to shopping in New York - it would be great if you continued the series elsewhere. For example, I'm in a suburb of London but I'm new to *luxdups* shopping so I don't know where I'm going or what to buy in my city.
Interesting video and great tips. For those watching and are curious of what color that suit them, please don't rely on vein test. It says nothing about UNDERtone but more about OVERtone, 👍 Think more about if a soft (greyish) pink makes you look pale/grey/sick, etc. There are great videos from professionals and they never look at your veins.
My staples are heavily influenced by the fact that I work an office job that requires a pretty high level of skin coverage. My staples are those fp happiness runs "compression" athletic tanks (these are terrible as exercise clothing for us larger-chested people, but I use them exclusively as either bras/undergarments for work or casual, form-fitting crop tops outside work), white button-ups, cropped button-up cashmere cardigans, high-waisted trousers to go with said cardigans, relaxed fit and lower rise pants to go with everything else, satin scrunchies, and turtlenecks/mock necks. I only really got into white button ups last year (increased my number from 1 to 5), and now I have a *very* good idea of what I like, so we'll see how that pans out this year. I just might figure out how I want to tailor the one white collared shirt I'm less enthused about. Since my realization that I am a cool color season, I have also started looking at silver colored jewelry, but the only thing with that color that has the same durability as gold is platinum, so I suppose I'll just have to start saving, haha...
My autumn/winter signature this year (and I'm pretty happy, as it seems I've finally found a silhouette I like!) has been high neck sweaters in vivid colors (cerulean blue, yellow, red) + a skirt (pleated, A-line) OR straight/wide jeans and boots/converse. I have an unnecessary variety of coats thanks to my siblings, so adding those and accessories I can create a nice amount of different outfits ❤
A note of caution about the vein trick: my mom and I both have green veins, but she is VERY cool-toned and I am VERY warm-toned. I'm sure the trick works for some, but maybe pair it with another technique to double check your results
Love this video! I figured out that my style is pretty much similar to the “clean girl” -trend. So that’s what I’m going to be wearing more of, even tho it’s trendy. It works for me 😊 thank you for this information 🎉
Asia, I'm a big big fan of yours. It's been a year since I'm following u and yes, every time I get such a boost of confidence and positivity from watching u. Girl, you're slaying! Sooo good 🤍
Lovely entertaining video. You have managed to give me some clarity as to what my style is. I've always been drawn to a slightly androgynous and neat way of dressing in my personal style (think blazers, crisp shirts and jeans) - whereas my signature style is lots of floppy linen pants, singlets and loose shirts. In fact I reckon I was dressing coastal grandma before it was a thing.
Hey girl, I just discovered your channel and your videos are so helpful and amazing! One of my goals this year is to be more intentional with my style and I have been learning so much from your videos! I would love it if you did a video describing your process of getting rid of old clothes? Like do you donate them? Do you give them away or what you do to fix them up if they are wearing down etc. I think that would be cool 💕
I loved the way you explained all the details to us! ❤ I've been goth since a very young age, but I've kept 1 or 2 other "aesthetics" to change between for fun (steampunk, coquette-like, etc.). Yes, one person can OWN several styles and aesthetics, and feel genuine in them. I'm also a minimalist, and in order not to have an entire wardrobe of clothes for that one specific style, I keep lots of black and white-coloured yet unique clothing which I can mix and match together and accessorize to create different outfits. And it just happens so that any pieces I place together will match 90% of the time. Also, if you belong to a specific subculture too, it's fine if you don't dress like that subculture all the time! What matters is how you feel on the inside ❤
I just love your styling video. At a time where everyone is over complicating it with 25 different body types and seasons and spirits and what not you keep it simple and we like it!!
turtlenecks, suit pants and boots are my go to pieces. I love to wear colors like beige, brown, cream, grey and black honestly and silver jewelry is a must.
Mine is a henely shirt, muscle tank, petite fitted jeans, and solid gold jewelry (specifically a mood changing one)! I'm partial dark autumn + jewel tones as well
You are fabulous and have great advice! The only thing I would push back on is the vein test for determining your undertone: you're far better off comparing cool vs warm colours on yourself to see which way you lean. Colour analysts tend to agree that using a vein test to determine undertone does not work. You can google 'colour analysis: cool vs warm colours' to see what colours to compare.
I just recently found out that i domt really like black near my face and id always rather go for a full white outfit than a full black one. Plus i love the mediterranean fashion - a lot of linen, very flowy, feminine but free and not preppy. I have a neutral undertone, so i wear all colours. I am still working out a few things - id like to incorporate more dresses and skirts in to my daily wear, but i really really dialike tighta and my countrys climaye kinda requires them for at least half of the year. But, my signature pieces are currently White/off white low rise flowy linen pants A few plain croptops A white button up Blue and cream mom jeans This white alpaca cardigan White lowtop converse, red low top converse Headscarf Black bomber jacket and a camelcoat Gold jewellery Dark red backpack (it matches the converse perfectly).
Love your videos!! Looking at the color of your veins doesn’t really tell whether you’re warm or cool. Mine are blue but I’m a warm spring :) I really recommend a color analysis it changes everything
it's even worse if you're not white, i spent my whole life thinking i was warm because of my green veins but i'm just chinese lmao i figured out i was a winter by experimenting with what clothes and eyeshadow shades look better on me, i wouldn't say it's necessary to get a colour analysis unless you've taken a good hard look at yourself but are still unsure
I love this video so much! I feel like I was implementing some of this subconsciously and this video was like an aha moment. I used to love silver jewelry and have switched to gold not realizing it’s because of my warm undertones and it genuinely looks better on me. After watching this I know that I will never do a strapless top or dress again because I have really broad shoulders. Skinny jeans are a no for me and I feel less guilty about that. Straight leg or palazzo only. Sandals and shoes are a yay for me but never ever ever flip flops. So interesting analyzing my preferences! Thanks for this vid🫶🏽
My go to uniform pieces are: my Citizens of Humanity horse shoe jeans (I have 3 colours), with a racerback vest & / or jumper, an interesting belt, adidas sambas / pointy boots and bold earrings. I can create so many different looks with this combo - it's a no brainier for me and feels lived in and authentic to me. It took me a while and many bad purchases before I finally figured out what works.
Wow I gotta say I really love her videos. She just randomly was in my feed today and already watched a bunch of her vids haha I was so convinced that I don't have a signature style even though I like my style and am sure I have one. I just didn't feel like I had a *signature* look. But figgured out: I do have one. I basically always wear a flared jeans, medium rised to low rise, with a thight fitting long sleeve in autmn/spring or baggy shirts in summer/winter. And on top of that I always wear a watch my parents gave me literally 5 years ago (yeah I think I should get a new one but I love my watch hahaha). As jewelry I wear gold medium large earrings, a braclet my boyfriend gave me for my birthday (he's got one too, its our type of a friendship bracelet). And whenever I wear a V-cut shirt or a turtle neck I wear a necklace. For shoes I wear either my plateau converse or my brighter ones from fila. I really had fun analyzing my style (well its a hella long text so of course). Oh and don't mind my grammar or spelling, my German ass is struggeling rn
I really need to get a uniform again! Back in the 2010s it was a skater skirt, a jumper or tshirt, and boots. Or sneakers/sandals but usually boots. I wore it no matter what the weather was, even in winter I’d wear it because it gets muddy where I live and it was much easier to wipe mud off my legs than clean it from tights or pants. I just added my winter jacket and I was ready to go! The versatility was amazing and I need something like that to suit my current style
mostly i am grabbing for oversized blazers of any texturen and color, dressed - wide leged pants or jeans. t-shirts (neutral, grafic oversized or crop) schunky sneakers, loafers or sandels. in the winter i love cardigans or comfy oversized sweaters. for accesories mostly simpel and gold but i do like a statement gold earing. thank you for the video, i love your style
My uniform is - black/grey/white skin-tight tops (tank tops, short sleeves, long sleeves) - wide leg high rise jeans (grey, dark blue, light blue, white) -black low rise cargo pants -open cropped cardigans and cropped sweaters -denim jacket and leather jacket! And a black puffer one too -black boots and black converse sneakers
My uniform has become a blousy button-down shirt or graphic tee with wide leg trousers/jeans or a slinky skirt, almost all in jewel tones and typically with a studded boot or ankle strap heel. And whether it is in black, gold, rose gold, or silver, you will ALWAYS find me wearing a hoop earring.
I have a very definite style and a signature style and colors so i think it will be easy for me to put up a uniform. But i struggle with accessories 🥹 i love gold but maybe silver would look better on me cause im a cool/neutral undertone
It’s my second year of college this year, and I live in Korea. I’ve pondered a lot about my fashion style during the last year since a lot of styles are very similar in my country…and it seemed kinda..boring😂 I think my staples are berets, pearl and gold accesories, bun hair, tank tops, sweaters and kardigans, mini skirts and dad fit jeans And I always like to have some kind of vibrant color at LEAST one in my outfit:)
I call my style geek fashion. I used to make videos on it kinda like you. In the nerd community people often say that clothes with geek characters on it especially gaming ones look bad, but I find good ones and incorporate them in more known styles to make them fashionable.
Wasted a lot of money to finally realize my personal style... I realized I hateeee cardigans with a tight fit around the arms. I just feel like an old person when I wear it. Probably because it's my mom's personal style lol. I feel bad though because she bought me a bunch of them! I don't like sweaters unless it's a bit oversized OR it is a turtleneck LOL. in the winter I always go for hoodies but if I want to look nice I never touch my sweaters that don't have that criteria. LOVE pants that are wide legged. It's a trend that saved my style and definitely boosted my confidence. Even if the trend dies it will style with me. My summer style needs some work haha. I love wearing loose (but not oversized) cotton t shirts with a small design paired with wide legged pants or any shorts, but I feel it's too plain?? I want to try experimenting with 3/4 skirts.... Thank you for this video, it really encapsulates my own journey with clothes! I still need help lol so looking forward to watching your other videos!
*Work edition* (since I practically live there) Deep pocket cargos, black v-neck long sleeve, puffer vest, minial graphic sweatshirt, platform black/white Vans, chunky black Steve Madden ankle boots. I have five solid gold piercings in my face to accessorize any outfit.. but I am looking to invest in a solid gold bracelet.. Thanks Asia!
Amazing video, but I was distracted by your hair most of the time 😅 it looks amazing! Can we get a hair update? What are you doing? It looks so healthy.
you look gorgious in this video :-) actually, to me, i don´t want to paint a picture of myself, i want to feel it every single time and this can change from time to time. this is important when it comes to buying clothes because it might happen, that i need space for something different and only have the same items and get bored. when it comes to trousers it is hard for me to not stock up.
Both my personal and signature style revolve around trousers/pants. I wear and own more trousers/pants than dresses and skirts. I think it's important to have an anchor when developing these various styles and mine is trousers/pants.
Awesome, very informative & helpful tips Asia! 👏🙌 The issue i have is that many of the styles i like don't come in the colors that suit me (cool winter) & vice versa ie: I'll come across a gorgeous dress in the right cut, fabric, neckline, etc but its only available in pastels lol first world probs 🤣 my signature day to day are any high waisted pants, a long layer (mens style button down or kimono), sneakers & boots.
My uniform: Pants: ultra high rise (11-12in) flared or wide leg pants Skirts:high waisted, long wrap skirts Tops: slim fit t shirt or sweaters, slightly cropped with an open neckline, or a wrap top. I love textured pieces and soft saturated colors 😊
