ITEMS MENTIONED FROM ARKET
Sizing: shortened, fits true to size, if in between, I always size up

Sizing: Fits oversized, I took true to size but it is definitely possible to go down in size

Sizing: shortened, fits true to size, I sized up because I'm in between sizes and the fit is good, says 'low waist' on website but I wear it as a mid-high rise with no issue

Sizing: true to size

Sizing: true to size, very close fit

Sizing: true to size, regular fit

Sizing: fits oversized but I took true to size so the shoulders would fit comfortable. Because it isn't a dropped shoulder, I personally would go true to size and focus on the shoulder fit for the ideal look.

Sizing: recommend true to size, if in between sizes, definitely go size up

Sizing: fits true to size, if in between sizes, go up

WHAT I'M WEARING
Earrings - Dinosaur Designs

SIZING REFERENCE
For reference, I am 160cm or 5'3. I wear an AU 6, XS. EU 34 and US 0 (I take one size down in US sizing). I am more pear shaped and often need to size up one size for pants for it to fit well at the hip. For jeans I am usually a W25 (esp in Levi's), though depending on style, I also often go up to a W26.

i love that you include the fabric composition for all the pieces! so many youtubers focus only on aesthetics and not on quality too

Been loving Helen's videos for a long time because she always goes into materials, cut, sometimes when she reviews shoes she would mention how the wear and tear... for people who are trying to build a wardrobe with items that work hard, I think this channel is a good place to start

[titaramirez]

Winner 🏆 🥇 love it again honest to goodness review no hold barred you're the best of giving tips and tricks from the bottom of your heart for me you look beautiful of all those colors ❤️ it I have a few of those trousers 👖for work I'm loving it specially here in Toronto when it's cold 🥶

[DevinaHeriyanto]

I love how you're incorporating red into your wardrobe now. I used to stay away from them and only wore them for Chinese New Year but I'm trying to have more reds in my wardrobe because it flatters my skin.

[limadeia]

I love your style!
I had an eye on the brown trousers for a while. After your review I decided to order it. Let’s see if it will work for me too. 😊

[eugenec.]

Hey Helen! The green earrings are gorgeous on you, so pretty! They definitely make your neutral outfits much more interesting (like the outfit you are wearing in the video). The reds in the video also suit you very much (the pants and the front zip sweater). In my opinion the cobalt blue looks good enough on you, because you have brown hair and brown / orange is the complimentary color to blue. It is definitely an accent, but I like it!

Hi Hellen! Did you finally keep the blue knit?

[silvia_]

The blue looks splendid on you and works with your skin tone, it creates a soft contrast with it and your lip colour. You look like spring in it...if that makes any sense😅

[jumplc]

Great detail review video!! I love the taupe wool trousers and the red wool trousers looks great on you! :)

[hijlaa]

I got the Arket mid-length puffer coat through the H&M website for Black Friday (Tip! H&M stocks Arket and &Other Stories and discounts can work on items from these brands) which was an excellent buy.

[AnetteJJ]

Nice and useful review. I have found some very beautiful knits at &Other Stories that are actually in Sezane quality. Haven't tried their bottoms, though.

[esperancasabater]

Hi Helen! I ordered the red knit in two colours, red and bright blue. I didn't know about the cutted hemline and sleeve ends. Love it on you!

[solenebouysse]

Really liked this video !
My problem with Arket is their colors, they never seem to be right for me. They mostly do cool tones and it’s just not flatering on me. The cuts are also quite difficult for me being 1m55.
It’s been a long time I haven’t bought anything from them but I keep looking at their collection every season. 😅
The blazer though is quite nice but I don’t need it for now.

[chickenleg]

I agree about the blue being not so fabulous on you. You are so very lovely that it is a subtle thing, but the slightly warmer colors really work beautifully on you. This very cool color may not play well with your other pieces.

Thank you for your in dept review! I received the Arket merino top today but in doubt if i want to keep it. I think it's a bit tight. Does the material loosen over time?

[ummirayali]

I've been eyeing the Hopsack Wool Trousers and this looks soooo good on you! I'm the same height as you with 27.5" waist and 35" hip, . Do you reckon size 34 or 36 would fit me better?

[lanle]

I love your style any color go to match with you … good job 👍

[mimoharibo]

Every week I look forward to Sunday to watch your video and like all other weeks this one did not disappoint! I feel like your style has changed quite substantially since your colour analysis and you seem to have been embracing more bold colours. I remember watching a video in which you reviewed a red top from & Other Stories as one of the purchases that didn’t work out for you, so I’m glad you’ve found a way to incorporate red into your wardrobe as it seems to suit you well (prob a bit better than the cobalt blue imho).

Taking about colours, you had a beautiful green wallet bag from Cafune that wasn’t included in your last bags review — how did you feel about that bag? Did it get many wears? Thanks & have a lovely week!

[deborahmac]

Ive found the fitted light weight wool tops are a favorite item and very useful. I go to them more often than I thought I would. I like the bright blue on you. I know you say you lean warm, but I think it's a nice pop of color on you. It's odd that Arket does not ship to the US. That is where I live, so I can't purchase from them.

[papyrus]

Do you have a link or otherwise the product name of your & other stories white trousers that you're showing at 14:58? :)
