Hi Lydia: I’m 80, but can’t stand old lady clothes. I follow your suggestions and am considered very stylish, thanks to you. I live in Chicago, Illinois. We have all four full blown seasons - very hot, very cold, very rainy and very windy. My husband and I attend the opera, symphony, theatre and occasionally a music festival. We also eat out at upscale restaurants as well as burger joints. My arms have aged out of sleeveless dresses, but my décolleté can still handle a dip in the neckline.

Hi Lydia, I’m 65 years old and I live 3 blocks from the beach in Southern California. We don’t really have seasons, usually hanging between mid 60’s to high 70’s Fahrenheit year round.
I’ve been following your advice for about 2 years and I have transformed my wardrobe in that time. I now have a catalog of over 200 outfits in my photos that I have organized according to the bottoms, (I love organizing ❤) and I refer to it constantly for whatever I have going on that day. I feel confident about my outfits and the cherry on the top is the stream of compliments I now get on my style choices! You’ve literally changed my life🙏😘!

I am 25 years and I live in Karachi, Pakistan. The climate is HOT but we here wear modest clothes. Can't show skin too much. It makes so difficult to follow your summer videos then. Because shorts and shoulder less clothes are frowned upon here, unfortunately.
I loveee your style and would love to layer and all but can't because of summer almost all year round so please make a lot of summer styling videos.
Also, even if you can't that's okay. I loveeee your work.

Also, please do a vlog or two sometime. You're my favourite stylist in the world. Love you and may you grow more and more successful with each passing day ❤.

Hi Lydia, I am from Germany, 70 years young and I always loved modern classic, clean chic outfits. Young women I never met before compliment me on the street as well as in office (I am still working). My elegant mother taught me this style, I always have been a „style junkee“ . . .

Hi! I'm 39 & from South Africa. Different seasons, VERY different climate to the UK and I I can get almost none of the pieces you style here, BUT I still get lots of great info. & ideas from what you share. ❤

Hi Lydia, I’m 54 years old, from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 Climate… hot summers, an amazing autumn season, followed by, generally, long cold winters 🥶… and not much of a spring, before it turns warm again. I get the impression that your followers are from all over. What we share is a common interest in looking our best, and a passion for timeless style, as so beautifully personified by you ❤

Hi Lydia I just turned 69 last week. I live in North Miami Beach Florida USA. It is 9:30AM and it's 79 and sunny. I love the wide range of viewers that you have. It just goes to show that classic, minimal, timeless style dressers from those in their 30's to in their 80's and beyond can all wear the same clothing and look stylish, on trend and fabulous.Ty for another great video. I agree with all of your no purchases.

Hi, 38-years old Ukrainian, currently living in Northern Italy. I really appreciate your approach to wardrobe, neutrals+classics. I love watching different content, thought, but never tend to recreate any other outfits except yours ❤

[jammy]

First! thank you for asking about demographics! I am 36 yrs old from the Philippines where it is always summer! Love your videos and has been helpful in elevating my wardrobe. What makes your content stand out to me is you always put an effort in explaining why a certain style works.

73 from 🇨🇦 Canada. (In 2021 I came upon your channel and have been following since then. Back in 21 I had no idea on how to build a capsule wardrobe. My closet was full of cheap magpie pieces, none of which went together. Thanks to you I have a gorgeous cohesive wardrobe. It's a pleasure to get dressed to go out. Life is so much easier now.) Thank you! 💗🌿
