as someone who has always had her own style, the biggest advice i could give anyone is: DON'T CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS. for example i've been wearing my doc martens since i was in like 7th grade and i can assure you they weren't "cool" at all in the late 2000s and i was made fun for them endlessly but i loved them and now everybody owns a pair, including the people who shamed me for them. same goes flor leather jackets, corduroy and maxi dresses, all things that are "in style" now but just 5-10 years ago nobody was wearing them. it's useful to understand trends in fashion as mere marketing, it's compmetely volatile. just stick to what feels comfy and good when you wear it!

ps. you don't have to "perform" your style every. single. day. if your style for example is more "vintage" nothing keeps you from just wearing jeans and a sweater sometimes.

I would also add that knowing your undertone and body shape (especially your Kibbe body shape) can be incredibly useful tools if you find the outfits you want to wear don't look as good on you as they do on someone else. I had the issue where I liked very chic French styles with a bright, cool undertone even though I am very hourglass with a warm and muted undertone. The outfits I liked looked separate to me and made me look a bit sick, and they didn't photograph well (unless I edited them a lot). By knowing what my undertone and bodyshape are, I was able to incorporate those elements into my style and have my outfits suit me without avoiding the style altogether. Aly Art and Merriam Style are two channels I recommend on this front

I do the inspo thing slightly differently - I google “how to style...” something I own e.g. how to style pink tee. Then I’ll scroll through the images and find outfits I like that I’d never have put together or items that look great that I don’t own but would enjoy :) got the cutest green mini skirt from doing that!

Oh! dear Lucy... I feel so relieved that I am not the only one who is completely lost in the fashion world. I have always been quite easily influenced by the fashion trends and thinking "oh, I love this item" and when the trend goes, so does my love for that piece... thanks for sharing this piece of knowledge.

As someone who's currently trying to figure out my style/what I like, this is tremendously helpful! Thank you so much Lucy!!!

This is such a useful video! I'm currently feeling pretty uninspired by my wardrobe...it's all pretty much stuff that I would've loved to wear like 1-3 years ago, but now it sort of feels a bit childish to me. So, I'm definitely going to be using these tips to help me rebuild my wardrobe with clothes I actually want to wear.


also, I just wanted to say that I really feel like you've come into your own and really found yourself and your style when it comes to the content you're making. I always enjoyed your videos, but I feel like your recent content has just been a step up even from the high level it was already at and its a joy to watch you and your channel grow! Can't wait to see what you create in 2019 :)

[tiegant]

Wow I had subscribed to you a few years ago but I was too young to “get” your videos. I’m older now and your videos keep helping me realise new things about myself, they’re like the guide to life! Thank you ♥️

I think for me I have just accepted I don't have a style: I'm bohemian one day, structured and business-like another, and vintage the next. Figuring that out has made shopping much less daunting!

Cup of tea and a new Lucy Moon video, absolutely ideal 🌙

First of all, happy birthday! 🥳
Something I have noticed about my style is that I tend to find a brand that I like and then shop almost exclusively from them, so I now try to mix it up a bit more. I went from shopping at hollister to urban outfitters to Topshop and then & other stories.
I still own most of the clothes I bought in the past 5-6 years so I really need to clear out my wardrobe because there are a lot of things that I haven’t worn since I was fifteen.
I feel like I also have a formula for the outfits I wear on a daily basis (jeans and a knit jumper or a t-shirt) so I hope my wardrobe clear out will give me some inspiration.

[yvetishere]

I would really recommend the Wonder Wardrobe videos Daria is such a good stylist! I still need to figure it all myself but she is so so so good!

[EstelaAndreetta]

Happy birthday Luce!! I hope 24 treats you well<33

I've kinda created a capsule make up drawer! Which makes my boots voucher from a family friend hard normally would buy make up but now no need. took me 6 weeks to spend on posh make up brushes (yes old set a good 15 years old)! And and 3 nail varnishes (replacing 3 either spent or wrong colours for me!

[DaisyBomber]

Thank you so much for this video. I've always been lost with my style. I know I have a sense of style, because I'm pretty good at styling other people, it's just that when it comes to me I always just go for what's comfy and what I don't feel super insecure in (black jeans and flannel shirts). "I love that, but I could never wear it myself" is probably one of my most used phrases. Maybe this will inspire me to actually put some effort into this style thing. I'm definitely starting a pinterest board though, that's the the least I can do.

I have real trouble differentiating clothes and styles that I admire (outfits and concepts that I find interesting) VS my OWN personal style.
For instance, I often wear bold colours, patterned socks and yellow jumpers and all that, a thrifty "artsy" look. But than I'll be into minimalistic styles with simple cuts and designs. So I doubt what my personal style actually is. If I've actually got one at all. Is what I call "my style" really just habit and a process of familiarity?
Maybe the answer is mixing multiple styles.. or maybe I just don't have the answer yet.

[elba]

wow didn't expect to relate so much to what you said about losing your sense of personal style at uni. I'm the same age as you and have been feeling exactly the same. I also think not having much money to buy investment pieces or time to think about my style and outfits had a big impact. Only just starting to find my feet again with style and its been a while now!

[tiffanyivashkov]

I'm personally going through a style journey. I've already got rid of a lot of stuff that is obsolete, really dingy fast fashion items (i.e forever 21 knitwear is cheaper than it appears to be). there's more to get rid of but I need proper substitutes that fit my color palate (neutrals including browns and some burgundy) before i get rid of them. It's hard and will require time but it'll def pay off when you have pieces that won't pill in the first wash and pieces that will hold up better in the long run. Thank you Lucy for the inspiration, it's really helped me!!

this video could not have come at a more perfect time! I've been thinking about personal style and switching mine up so much lately, so thank you 💛✨ this was super helpful!!
