This has been so highly requested by you guys, I'm soo excited it's finally here. Also, should I continue including the ridiculous bloopers at the end in future vids!? Hope you enjoy me embarrassing myself for views LOL.
I think her saying about the statement piece is SO true- like I have this one color block shirt that is bold and people would remember, but I probably can only wear it like once a month (to work) but then maybe next week hanging out with friends who haven't seen that one before. Repeating outfits is okay, I need to remind myself
literally like i find myself just gravitating back to my comfort outfits both because i like them and because i can’t remember how much time has passed since i last wore it
honestly the color scheme tip was LIFE CHANGINGGGG but mine is just based on my favorite colors instead of matching skin tone or smth..... but yes i loveeeeeee my colors!!
Same, the colors I love will always make me feel happy. My only exception is jewelry cause silver really doesn’t match well with my skin and hair undertones.
this is the only one of these kind of videos i've seen that haven't been super style specific, which is incredibly helpful because i'm literally vampire goth and i've been having a hard time figuring out how to expand my wardrobe- thank you!!
uni is tough and i grew a bit since high school so im wearing stuff out of my moms and aunts closet but ill keep this in mind when i finally get to buy things
this is the first time ive ever seen one of your vids and honestly 2mins in i had to subscribe. you radiate sm positive energy and make me feel hyped and confident. ahhh i love ittt
I’m redoing my whole wardrobe in 4 months, mainly to save up, but this video is literally so perfect. My style is mainly street fashion but softer and not sports based. So lighter muted colors, no dunks, jordans or jerseys. But very loose and flowy. I use to think I only liked myself in very fitted clothing, and I do still like that look but I’ve realized i haven’t been wearing 80% of my current wardrobe. So excited to actually wear everything in my closet
I would like to add one thing. And that is not to only look on what clothes other people like on you but remember which clothes you felt fabulous in and then think WHY.
❤️ the beige coat at 4:37! I’ve looked through Instagram, link tree and the comments here to find a link to it but can’t find one. Am the first to ask or just bad at searching? Because It’s the piece I’ve been looking for 🙉
As a South Asian, buying ethnic pieces have always seemed like the pragmatic option. One kurti will give me at least 20 different outfits; it's a kameez, a top, a dress, a tunic, all in a single piece. You could try one out.
I want to change out my whole closet. I am south of Denver with 3 seasons. Fire snow and flood. I had to learn how to dress for them because I am from the south. I hate my clothes but don't know how to get what I want without freezing or buring to a crisp or drowning. Any real advice here is welcome.
MY closet is filled with... Mum: "OMG LEA! THIS IS SUCHHH A CUTE TOP! U MUST BUY THIS" *buys it to avoid being rude. * Toxic friends "LEAA! THIS TOP IS SuPeR CUTE! BUY THIS GWORL!" *Gets it and gets bullied for it the next day* Dad: "AYY LEA. LOOK AT THIS ONE. THE LIONS! BUY THIS ONE." *Is in love with it as I was in love with sports and sports jerseys, but it is somewhere in the very back of my closet and has no energy to get it because I'm typing this at 2 in the ✨M0RN1NG ✨ *
i would love to see a “how to layer” guide or even a list of ur fave stores to shop at bc idk where to look or how to combine pieces… fr my go to is tshirt+ pants LMAO
Yes! And to add on, I would love to see how to buy the correct size of clothing for when to layer and get the best looking silhouette out of the pieces
I'm no layering pro, but on my quest towards fashion AND comfort, I have found scarves to be very helpful! They are more chic than a hoodie, warm, go with everything when theyre neutral, and dont mess with ur shilouette
ignoring the fashion trends in your area is a BIG one! i remember my first few weeks of college i wore athleisure to class every day bc 99% of people did and i felt awkward wearing "normal clothes" (not even dressing up lol literally just jeans and a crop top), but eventually i realized 1. i felt like an ugly slob, and 2. no one was gonna arrest me for wearing something other than nike shorts
You're doing amazing, I'm glad I didn't jump on the sweatpants and uggs trend when I was in college. 11 years later I can still wear the snow boots I wore then
Haha I had the reverse issue. Most women in my college had a super preppy serious look, with button ups and blazers :D Sometimes I just wanted to wear jeans and hoodies or even just sweats. I personally always felt hot af and comfy in sports wear.
I'm definitely an older lady, and only recently learned two great tips: 1) organize your closet by color (looks great and easier to find things), and 2) don't buy anything unless it goes with THREE other pieces (that's a tough one, true). But it helps reduce all those crazy colors and pieces that don't go with anything.
Hi! A little late to the party, but this is also an amazing tip for travel clothes. Always take pieces that match and go well with atleast 3 others that you're packing. That way you actually get more options and travel lighter.
We stan outfit repeating! One tip that has helped me a lot is "only buy a piece if you know you will wear it at least 30 times". It makes shopping consciously a lot easier and has made me conscious of clothing that I would not wear as much as others.
A better tip is to only buy things that go with three other items, because I have tried what you said and it's very easy to lie to yourself and say "yeah I'll wear it seventy times for sure"
So fashion is basically a character design but in real life… which means we need to follow those fundamentals of character design to create our wardrobe. Wow, major break through on my side, but this is the way I understand it.
Never forget guys: always be aware of the weather! No matter how cute your outfit is you'll most definitely feel like shit if you're super sweaty or freezing your nuts off, dress accordingly so you're comfy
Ok but like how does one layer to not sweat in 50 degrees celsius weather bc either I'm just too prone to being hot (aha not that kind) or yall keeping secrets
@@Chirp-chirp that's the trick. Unless you have botox treatment we ALL sweat. The thing is that most of the time we see people's outfit when they're all nice and clean (ex: photos, videos before leaving or before an event starts,etc,). You can use certain fabrics so you feel less hot when layering but sweat is inevitable.
I needed to hear this. I live in a place where it's 20° C even in the middle of winter, and I love turtlenecks, heavy cardigans and jackets and basically anything that keeps you warm. But I can't wear it because it is so freaking hot.
@@spytea-c6v same. i started buying stuff in thin breathable fabrics. i have this one button-up shirt that i adore and it's super thin bc it was super cheap, but it's breathable and a light color that reflects sunlight so i actually feel cooler when i wear it
My personal "pro tip" is all my bottoms are neutrals. That way even if I decide to get a top that isn't in my color palette I can still wear it with all my pants. I am a lover of color so most of my dresses & tops are colorful, but my bottoms & half my "outerwear" is neutral which makes mixing and matching a breeze. I do the same with shoes: get my neutrals first, then expand our into fun designs & colors. I love every piece in my closet & it makes shopping for new items simple (especially when mom tried to convince me to get something that I would never wear lol)
this could definitely work the other way round as well if people don't want all neutral trousers. Having colourful trousers and neutral tops would also make getting ready super easy!
i love how you educate us on rewearing the clothes we already have, finding what we really like, and reducing consumption!! so important and practical, especially in an era of the internet where influencers do $500 hauls of fast fashion on a regular basis
Yes, it's really nice that she does what literally every other normal person does : wash their clothes and re-use them. It's the simplest thing to do, which might be why influencers shy away from it. They are scared they will look "normal", "boring", "uncreative". It's a war out there and peeps want to stand out. It's just unfortunate that the price of standing out in this field is just normalizing huge hauls of clothes and massive wardrobes. It's just the easy thing to do for them, buying and accepting more clothes. It's even less creative than outfit repeating to me. Outfit repeating shows that the outfit works in many different occasions and stand the test of time. Let's glorify that instead!
"I worked so hard on that animation that i had to show it the second time." OMG YES GIRL I APPRECIATE IT SOOOO MUCH! 😭❤ (also I appreciate those 1.5k people who like this words of mine!😍)
Personally, I think it's about wearing clothes that wont show it if you sweat. Darker colours, thicker/absorbent/hydrophobic fabrics, breathable/loose silhouettes. I live somewhere very hot and humid, sweat is inevitable, so learning which fabrics won't wind up looking soaking wet after five minutes was a lifesaver.
"sitting" on a clothing item is hard when your wardrobe is 99% thrifted lol but seriously, this video helped me a lot. i have so many random shirts, blouses, jackets, etc in my closet that i like but never wear and now im finally starting to realize why. COLOR SCHEME. what a thought haha explains why i only wore that bright yellow shirt once and can't pair it with anything else!
When you thrift you can walk around with it in the store till you get dont get that dopamine rush looking at it. In addition, try EVERYTHING on, look for holes/stains, look for wrinkles
@@johnnyjohnnyhottiethottie8345 My tip: Wear your most versatile clothes when you go thrifting. your favourite pants that go with anything, a neutral top, some vest/jacket/blouse/shirt on top if you do layers, and a belt. This will help you to style the things you want to buy in quick, different ways without having to wait until you get home. Then go to the changing room, try them, take pics, and then roam a bit more around the place. Give yourself time to think about it. Is not the same as giving it a month and you may still buy some things that later will feel a bit "meh" but it will help to considerably reduce those "omg this is terrible why I wasted money on this" cases.
I am slowly finding my style again. It’s refreshing. I’m realizing my closet just has a bunch of stuff that is not my style. As I slowly get rid of the colors that clash with me or my style, I’m finding I don’t even need to buy new clothes
so your ""I look bad in everything I wear." dude, no. you're just not dressing for YOUR body type." video was suggested in my youtube home, watched it, liked it and proceeded to this video and i really had to subscribe! now i'm questioning all of my clothes which were all impulsively bought! you rock girl and it's time for me to binge your videossss
i literally ALWAYS say I have nothing to wear with a closet FULL of random items. The thing is, nothing really goes together cos I never think about how clothes pair together
I feel like I do have stuff to wear but. Like I have items that go together. I feel like I'm good at it but sometime when I put them on I just don't love how my body looks in it. Can anyone else relate like honestly think the outfit is cute but maybe it's a self confidence issue. I guess I just have to get comfortable in my own skin and maybe tailoring could also help sometimes. Woah way for me to have a mini problem solving/ therapy session in a comment thread. Okay step away from the phone 😂
This brings me to a video idea: how about us sending her through mail or smth pictures from specific/normal items and she helps us out by telling us how to wear it?
@@shanzoni1200 hahaha I totally get what you mean!!! I honestly thinks it comes down to confidence!! I'm sure you rock the outfit you put together, you just gotta believe in it and yourself!!!
This might be a perk to having a color scheme: you’ll have an easier time choosing nail designs, because you can go with the color that accentuates your outfits.
another perk of having a color scheme is if you like to thrift shop (which is a literal hobby for me) it's much easier to weed out things you'd never wear
and they’re often organized by color so i can just immediately head over to the red, blue, and b,ack sections instead of wasting time looking at green clothes
Something I would like to add is hairstyles. If you wear the exact same clothes but with a high ponytail instead of a bun or lose hair, it becomes a whole different style. So if you have long hair, like Kaiti has, I would use that as well since it is quite easy.
or, if you have stuff to pair with it already, just keep those as full matching outfits, but don't buy anymore stuff outside your color scheme. it might be useful for color-coded events. you could also donate if you really don't want to keep the clothes, rather than throwing them out.
Same . I see outfits in pinterest and insta when I buy similar things and try them I get frustrated and hate them 🙂 forgetting that a dress or an outfit that fits a 5.8 girl wouldn't always fit me as someone whos 5.2/3 same thing for my shape
@@judythepengu6158 I suggest following people that post outfit inspo that are a bit similar to you ( color , height , and weight..) its gonna make u less insecure and not be disappointed
I heard this tip previously and it CHANGED MY LIFE. I am so sick of buying something cute that just lives in my closet and takes up space because there’s nothing I want to wear with it 😭 the whole capsule closet thing didn’t work for me, but this seems foolproof!
A lot of these tips also apply to having a more sustainable wardrobe (color scheme, not following trends, waiting), and I think that's super important bc an environmentally friendly wardrobe is a cute wardrobe!!!
Almost all my clothes are black. But let me tell you how many shades of black there are oh my some things don't match everything. (Mainly a texture thing) but now I do shop full outfits keeping my current inventory in mind, it helps a lot. I also made little print outs of all my pieces so I can mix match them "on paper" and see how they work. My closet looks like a mood board and it makes me happy. But closet organizing clothes of all one color can be hard
😅 Okay I'm three weeks late but hopefully you see this still: there are digital closet apps you can use so you can plan out "on paper" and have it easily accessible. like Whering (the app I use) also has a dress me feature that randomises outfits for you. It's really helped me realise that I have sooo many outfits available and have made me really enjoy wearing items again and again (it's also saved me so much time getting ready cause I no longer spend ages mixing and matching right before I head out).
#3 tied into “matching how you’re feeling inside”. GURL. How am I supposed to do that when I have 10 different aesthetics from cottage core to goth and I feel at home in each one on different days? Honestly tho - how?...
let go of pretty much the structure of the trends or aesthetics or whatever you’re following, because I feel that most (maybe not all, but most) have a style they can stick to if they find it or prefer a style. maybe try finding what you love the most, and the clothes you love the most. blend the styles maybe? I’m no expert, so take this with a grain of salt!
I would look for simple pieces that can go with different kind of outfits. For example a simple black dress can be super versatile and fit for all aesthetics. Just depend on the accessories, shoes and layers. Find those basic clothes and pare them with statement pieces.
i use to be such a terrible shopper especially in my first years of college when i was stuck in the “i can only wear this outfit once” cycle & once you break out of that ITS SO FREEING like hell yes i’m gonna wear this dress fifty times this year JUST BC I CAN
This is really helpful! I'm on the fence about redoing most of my wardrobe into a vintage (50s and the like) style because it is really flattering to my figure, but I'm not completely sold. I mostly want pieces that will last (not fast fashion that falls apart in a year), and that fit my body type (my waist is a whole size smaller than my hips and chest). This is really helpful, I will use your tips, Kaiti, thank you!
Hey! I literally recently transitioned into 50s fashion so I totally understand where you're at right now. Rachel Maksy has a great video on starting small with vintage. But I also just found a skirt and shirt combo I liked in 50s style in a thrift shop and wore that in my usual rotation. From there I found a simple circle skirt pattern and started to sew skirts myself (I totally get that's not easy to do but look into it). Now I wear retro daily and I feel SO good, and I get a lot of compliments. I hope this was helpful, I really want to encourage more people to take the plunge into retro style 💕
if you love 50s do it. I used to follow trends and stuff and it didnt even look good on me, it didnt make me happy, it didnt look good. I started liking 2000s fashion and it became my style and I know it will be my style for life. It makes me happy and I love it
how to narrow down a colour scheme? i like wearing a variety of colours (depending on the shade (has to be quite muted) but they don’t really go together (blue, red, yellow, brown, green). normally i just pair these colours with white or a neutral. any advice would be helpful!!
I like to dress to my match my undertone (cool tones) and to accent my hair and eye color. I also look at my shoes and decide based on what would match them, since I love my shoes more than I love my clothes and they would be harder to replace.
Nowadays in fashion, every color matches as long as you can "carry the look". You can wear clashing colors if you like them, but it's totally out of people's comfortable zone, but can be fun! Red, blue and yellow are primaries and tend to harmonize together, secondaries and so on. You can pick an image that you think colors look good and try to use those combinations on clothes!
There are more neutrals than people realise. Not just black, white, cream, beige, grey but also navy, olive, rose pink can all act as neutrals and go with almost everything (at least in my wardrobe). And dark wash jeans are basically navy which is why they go with most things, so that could be a good anchor point if you're in a temperate climate. I also think blue is one of the BEST colours to pair with yellow, which can otherwise be hard to match, so that sounds like a nice combo (depending on the shade and amounts of each colour so you don't look like IKEA branding). You can use Paint or Excel or something to make mock up palettes and then group colours that match.
@@BooksMusicMe17 I also really like purple with yellow, but at either the same or opposite levels of saturation, like plum with super light yellow, lavender with daffodil, etc
I feel like sticking to a category of colors is more helpful then just picking certain colors. Like warm or cool toned and natural vs. artificial looking colors. I started sticking to warm toned earthy/natural colors and it really helped me :)
So I did this and cleaned out my closet accordingly (got rid of stuff that doesn’t fit my color palette/style/shape plan) and went shopping, my most hated activity and…. It was fun? I didn’t feel overwhelmed because I didn’t have to consider trying on things that weren’t in my style or color, even if they might look good on me. Thank you so much for helping me revamp my wardrobe without really buying that much! Getting rid of the excess in there was incredibly helpful and now I feel like I have much more to wear, even though I have fewer clothes. Seriously can’t tell you how nice it is to feel put together without trying.
I am not a stylish person. I struggle to put things together, I often buy things that I like and have nothing to match them with, I do buy a lot of one color but I don't always buy things that look good *on me.* Thank you for making these very accessible tips. I feel like *even I* can use these tips to get a teensy bit better at choosing my clothes. Haha.
Watching this made me realize why I’ve been loving my wardrobe in the last year. It’s because I’ve built a color scheme without even realizing and now I find it so easy to make outfits
I'm literally taking notes rn and investing time and energy into these fashion videos because physics can wait, this is life-serious and a practical issue for me rn. And must I say, this was very informative and I love how you talked about palettes. I had 0 idea - obviously :")
Me, an eldritch being who wears athletic shorts, sweatpants, and spaghetti strap pajama tops exclusively: ah yes, I shall use these tips to return to fashion
"The dress code of this state doesn't align with my body and my preferences" - the number of times I've had that exact same thought about this cursed state. There's also the near psychotic divide between the heat outside and frigid AC inside.
I’ve noticed I do a lot of these things, but my issues are trend following and buying too many statement pieces, so I’m going to work towards keeping up with my own personal style😌 ty
Tip from 1990s Glamour magazine: Create a "scarecrow" of your outfit laid on your bed. Top, bottom, socks, shoes, jewelry. Makes it much easier to critique your look while not having to try it all on.
I actually don't buy my own clothes.... My mom just goes to the store and picks up whatever she thinks will fit me and I appreciate it a lot. I try my best to mix and match clothing for it look aesthetically pleasing
the colour scheme thing sounds difficult but you're so right. when you have to figure out how to layer/match something that doesn't go with anything in the wardrobe, its so much more stress than it needs to be
You are so right about the color scheme. A few years ago I switched my buying habits to all skirts / pants being neutral colors and all tops being either green, blue or purple and now no matter how tired I am, I can grab whatever from the closet and it auto matches. Plus it looks great hanging there!
I feel like I've started to finally get the hang of it. I've been buying more dark colours ( that's also my personal preference so it works out great) and more basic, easy to style items. Even my brother asks me why am I so dressed up even though I'm not trying as hard anymore
Great video! Another personal tip I thought of while watching: I've seen so many of my friends throw away pieces of clothing they've loved just because they've developed holes, ripped, or gotten stained, but clothing you really love is worth repairing! Plus, repairs and fun patches add uniqueness :)
THIS!! I've felt awful in the past for getting rid of jeans with rips in unfortunate areas, and often I just held onto them for YEARS without getting rid of them, but I didn't think I could fix them and I'm not crafty enough to use them for scraps--but I recently discovered visible mending, and now I'm on a kick of learning how to fix all the holes in my socks, jeans, jean-jacket, etc XD
Honestly knowing that other people put on their JAM MUSIC and have a little hype party when putting together outfits... Ever since I started doing that a month or so ago, it honestly made the whole process so much better. Confidence booster for SURE ✨✌️
I really appreciate not just telling us to consume more until we’re happy because I think these tips can allow us to have a closet that lasts and is still unique with every fit
I loved this video 💕. I have a very limited space for storing and also I am tired of not feeling fabulous with my clothes, but the info here sounds very useful to solve those problems. Thank you 😃🌈.
havent watched kaiti in a while and now that im back,, how did the production quality increase even more, i am shook like it was already immaculate back then 😩✨
this literally came at the perfect time for me. i just donated a bunch of my clothes and i've been wanting to redo my closet over the last year since i started watching Kaiti's videos :D
You’re videos are so helpful and fun! I’m learning so much from you even though you’re my daughter’s age! I’m transitioning to a new stage of life with an “empty nest” and I’m definitely tired of having a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear! Even with the difference in age and stage of life your tips are so helpful and can be applied to any age and style, not to mention you’re so fun to watch! Thanks for the video!
the color scheme thing has literally saved me. i already have a wardrobe i like but thought this could be helpful to REALLY hone in, and let me just say thats the number 1 tip i can give. i only wear black and white (with a few exceptions) and its SO easy to find pieces i love that go w it now!!!
I feel like I finally found my style. It's just that now I'm trying to incorporate the pieces I already own and slowly buying in new pieces. My colour theme would black, white, earthy tones/neutrals and shades of muted pinks and Blue. I don't know how to give my style a proper name but I like comfy and chic silhouettes and I like showing my collar bones but hates strapless and off shoulder (I feel like off shoulders are criminals, like how do you move your hands, I own one and never wore it major regrets) also I don't like bodycon dresses because I bloat quickly and then I feel insecure.
Ive been thinking lately that I just dont look good in clothes. Starting to think now I just dont look good in MY clothes and havent really been shopping for my body
