As a 56-year-old woman, I never thought I’d be looking to a young person for dressing tips, but your timeless style has been such an inspiration. Thank you for injecting some confidence and purpose in my life. You have NO idea how your videos can sometimes help me get out of bed.

[AmandaFitPanda]

Yesss, I’m interested in specific pieces and more in depth styling videos

[marinowy]

Your channel is really one of the most helpful fashion channels out there. I love how you keep your outfits stylish but effortless at the same time. I was wondering if you would consider doing a video on how to look elegant and put together while wearing sneakers? Like what sneakers to wear and how to combine outfits, it would be very helpful for us who wanna look elegant while running errands. Have a nice day everyone

[annaklaus]

Yes I would like videos dedicated to specific skirt types and how to style them. And trousers. And shoes.

[suefranklin]

I love the idea of choosing 3 different styles, which means there is something there for everyone.
Also, giving subscribers a chance to try a different style, when knowing what to pair it with.
What’s not to love about these type of videos, well done Lydia and thank you, for all your efforts.

[allenbeachy]

I am a skirt wearer. So, I would watch any video you make on the subject. Thanks! Anne

[abc-ecrf]

This makes so much sense. That's why I've never been that into capsule wardrobes, you need so much variety to be able to pair diff lengths of skirts/pants.

Could you also include a skirt that ends just below the knees or on the knees? Most of my skirts are like that and I find them the most difficult to style in my wardrobe.

[mind_yourself]

I'd love to see more ways to style a specific piece (e.g., 5 ways to wear....). I'd really love to hear your take on how to wear mid-calf boots. I have a beautiful pair, but not sure how to pair them. Thanks!

[bethwaseity]

Just saw my first video of yours just now ! Wow you have amazing taste! So glad I stumbled upon you! PS I’m a science teacher for 30 years and I explain things sometimes abstract for a living. Your explanations of these abstract concepts are excellent! Excellent communicator !!❤️❤️❤️👍

[SS-yuxt]

I find these tutorials so helpful! It really makes me think about what I already have and I often don't have to spend the money I thought I'd need to.

[aliceinwonderland.]

Hi Lydia. I think you explain the do’s and dont’s of how to style pieces together so well and I find them invaluable. By showing us the outfits of before and after, it’s so clear to see how your advice works really well and gives us clear examples. I love any video that you create but lessons with Lydia are so helpful and I’m certain many of us appreciate them. I would be interested in more in depth styling videos too but not to the exclusion of the more generic ones. Take care 🧡🍁🍂

[kendrajanell]

Lydia, your videos have been a blessing to my life 🤍 I’ve received so much clarity about my style and it’s been easier and so much more exciting getting dressed in the morning! I think it’s when you get specific and go into more detail that helps paint an even clearer picture about our wardrobe and style.

I’m a newer subscriber (1-2 months) but I love looking at older videos and seeing the evolution of your style, and it’s so beautiful to see 🥰 Your passion for fashion and style is so authentic and practical and you express that through your content so seamlessly; you’re not like every other fashion YouTuber.

Oh, and Tim edits your videos so well! He’s definitely an asset, for sure! Hope all is well with you all ☺️

[brookerohner]

Yes, detailed videos with more shoe and jacket options for specific skirts would be great! I live in a slightly warmer climate so knee high boots would usually be too warm etc.

[emilym]

Lydia, I love do's and don't series. Can you do one with loafers please? Gucci princetown (backless) and full loafers (TODS or Jordans) please? Pants/Jeans/Skirts-Dresses would be so useful! Thank you.

[AlissaMarie]

I love these videos, they are so helpful. Would love to see ones where you go into more depth on a particular style 😊

[debcar]

I really enjoy these do's and don't videos. Seeing it really drives the point home and makes sense. I can really see how one piece works and another piece doesn't. Thank you for sharing! I really enjoy how you take a staple in your wardrobe and style it many ways.

I am homeless because of hurricane Ian in FL, USA. I had to rush to get my things out of my house and I packed an “ clothing items I can’t live without” box and an “clothing items I can live without box”. In the whirlwind, I switched the boxes and now I have to live with my least favorite items. I’ve been watching your videos and I am so inspired to look at these neglected pieces with a different eye because of your great videos and specific advice.
Also, you were saying in this video how you think you have trouble describing some of your thoughts. I think you do a great job articulating your meaning. For example, when you explain the “awkward amount of leg” that makes it very clear that people should consider that amount of leg shown can be awkward.
You have a special gift. I had a personal stylist for a while and you are much much better than she was. You are an artist! Congratulations on your success.

[claireunderwood]

Yes - great idea to deep dive, I love your videos for outfit ideas and style lessons, and that sounds to combine both. My favourite series is 1 piece, 5 ways, so more of those on the back of the lesson sound fab. Basically love your content and more sounds great ❤

[barbaramallow]

Deep dives are good! I learned a rule of thumb from another fashion youtuber that you should never buy a piece that you can't style at least 3 different ways with something you already own. Great for managing your closet and not wasting money on things you end up never wearing. Love your style and copy a lot of your outfit ideas. Chic and classic. Thanks.

[craftyrouze]

Omg, I have been struggling to style shoes with skirts/dresses for workwear in these colder months. Thank you so much for clarification. More videos on skirts/dresses please
