Lydia Tomlinson, in case you needed to hear this, your videos are like crack. You are SO SO SO GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO. You are our safe space, our fashion guru, our friend. Thank you for working so hard.

[Cherrysmith]

May I just say, that dress you are wearing is stunning on you. The addition of your hair scraped back and the classic gold hoops is perfection.

[TheResearchQueen]

You look fabulous, thanks for the styling tips. I know this is controversial but I think a big element is your slim frame; clothes hang nicely and this helps with the style x

I love the ‘effortless but polished’!!!As somebody who is getting closer and closer to 60, and, having watched so many styling and fashion videos over the past few years, I think it’s important just to put on what we feel fabulous in. I think all the visuals you give us are so helpful! And, our style might change over the years. And it’s OK! I tend to gravitate toward your style, although I like things a little more tailored possibly than you. But, I really have found that the sandals you’ve been wearing very recently I’ll once I’m going to give a try. Sometimes I feel like the ones that are heavy in fabric or construction right across the top of the toes can really look heavy at the bottom. I’m going to look for the links for those strap he flat sandals you wear! Lydia, thank you thank you thank you for putting so much work and time into giving us helpful guidelines and not rules!💕💕💕

I think the classic A-line skirts and dresses are especially comfortable to wear in warmer weather, and they have a polished, elegant and feminine look. I like your neutral colour palette of ecru, tans, white and black, which keep things simple and elegant as well, and they are easily elevated by the accessories worn.
One of the most important features of a summer wardrobe is the quality of the fabrics. Linens, good cottons and silks make all the difference to helping one stay cool and elegant and fuss free.

Excellent tips! Since I've been following you I've not only changed my shopping habits but suddenly I find totally new ways to combine and style already existing items. Tks and please continue, can't wait for your next upload :-)

[monicacappetta]

Every outfit are spot on and lovely. Your style is flawless. Thank you!

[maryam]

Lydia you’re truly an inspiration. I love your style and enjoy watching all of your videos to learn and get better style ideas. Thanks for clear explanations with pictures!

[Ejcfarley]

I have to say I haven’t watched your channel in years because I kind of moved away from watching fashion content so much, but this was such a good video and it was so lovely to see how your style has evolved. Really inspiring and beautiful. I’d love to see more examples of items that are similar to these expensive pieces with a slightly lower price tag so more of the Arket H&M Zara prices if possible, in another video. You look so effortlessly chic and beautiful in all of these pieces and it’s definitely a style I really admire, although as a mum of two who lives in Devon I don’t really think I dress like this often, and in the summer I find myself moving away from tank tops and joggers and wearing floral dresses mostly because otherwise they never see the light of day in our climate 😂 but I do love a linen shirt and I love the way that you wear those more tailored yet wide leg trousers and billowing shirt dresses that nip in at the waist - very much Roman Holiday vibes with Audrey Hepburn. Definitely inspired to try some more looks like this. 🙏

I love both your style of dressing and your style of presenting info ♥️. Practically everybody does introductions, but so few make meaningful conclusions!

[suefranklin]

Really enjoyed this video.
Since sorting out my wardrobe and enjoying neutrals, textures and features, I have put together so many outfits and noticed I am adding minimal accessories, to compliment these.

[Lsp]

So helpful (and love the outfits your chose)! It's really helpful when you leave the photo up all while explaining so we can see each element. Thanks as always💜

[joanewindle]

This was great! Thank you! Would love to see this for autumn/winter as well!

[hannahrobertson]

I also love the shirt style but am starting to wear them in a more loose, less formal style a la Lydia because that contrast looks so chic. Thanks so much for all the wonderful inspiration and gorgeous outfits!

[cristinagardon]

Your style is so lovely, and so are you! Thank you for your helpful videos and tips!

[caroldanderson]

Gorgeous, all of it! We share a similar style. I love the structured, elegant, feminine chic styles in all your examples. I especially loved the dress you were wearing in this episode.

[szee]

I like how you pointed out how relaxed fits can look more refined. I never thought about how tight some of my clothing is, especially after a few washes when they've shrunk im going to put more attention to the care so they don't shrink as much.

[alexandrafrick]

Your make-up in this video is a 10/10!!! I love the nude tones so much. You tips are always great! Thank you so much. Yesterday I bought my Loewe Ibiza crossbody bag, and I am sooo happy!

[marianaschooping]

Love your videos. Thank you! I am more on the modest side of style and i feel like summer can be so showy sometimes but you helped me to see how I can be totally fashionable while still being me. ❤

[victorialikhodedova]

Thank you! Such a great video! I love how you analyse and structure information, make it less overwhelming. Very useful and inspiring as always.
