How to look elegant in fall.
That's exactly what I'm going to give you in this video.
I'm going to give you some of my favorite tips on how to elevate your look
so that you can stay elegant, even during this difficult season.
My dear elegant ladies, welcome back to another episode.
I want to jump straight into the seven tips that I want to share with you that
has to do with how you can elevate your wardrobe during fall.
I'm going to give you the exact style mindset that I personally have for
this difficult season. And in my personal opinion, it is a difficult season.
We have to incorporate more items.
We have to also think about the purpose of the items and of course,
to keep ourselves warm while still look good.
But you can look elegant even when you have all these coats and boots,
and the hats, and everything that you have to pile on yourself to be warm.
I'm going to give you my best tips so let's start.
One of the things you have for sure heard me talk about many times is
how an elegance hat can actually elevate your entire look.
Now see ladies, this is a hat for fall. And as I put it on,
I immediately look more glamorous and I can even just wear something pretty
simple down here, but still feel like I have my whole outfit together.
This thing will also keep you warm and chic at the same time,
which is why I really think it's worth investing in multiple hats,
in multiple colors that you can wear with different types of outfits.
Now, tip number two is going to be similar to tip number three as well,
but I need to tell you about my big love for separates.
As you can see in the background, I am in my walk-in wardrobe.
Here, you have a row of separates.
Here you have a row of other separate and there as well.
Ladies, investing in separate, it is so important.
So when it becomes colder,
of course you need to have some cardigans, some sweaters.
I have a cashmere long sleeve.
I buy a lot of cashmere for fall and winter because
I just find this material to be very soft,
yet warm without having to really wear those really thick and bulky sweaters.
And that's something that I personally don't like as a personal preference
for the simple reason that it makes you look bigger, it makes you look wider.
It makes you look, I don't know, a few kilos heavier,
and that's not really the look that I'm aiming for.
And since we talk about elegance and femininity so much on this channel,
that's not really the direction we want to go.
It's better that we use a thinner fabric so that we can still show our
silhouette and kind of show our femininity this way.
That's why I really like garments like this. You see,
this is something because of the very high quality material,
it will still keep you warm, but it's not too thick. However,
it's thick enough to keep you warm.
Surely when the winter hits, and if you live in a country where it's -20,
you might have to do a bit of layering. But for fall,
it's perfect to just wear something like this.
And my tip is to really stock up on sweaters like
this in multiple colors.
And I've spoken so much about on my platforms,
how important it is to invest in separates.
I am the type that I rather spend much more on separates,
meaning a pair of trousers, a top or something.
Then I would spend on one piece like one dress.
I just feel like you get more usage of separates,
which is why I think everybody who has to budget,
spend more on things like this,
because you will have endless combinations of outfits this way. Another thing,
I don't know if you've noticed, but I mostly wear a V-neck.
And let me tell you one thing ladies about V-neck is that V-neck is the
most flattering for most body shapes and even most types of bodies.
So let's say you are a plus size woman, maybe have a full bust,
V-neck is going to be one of the more flattering
necklines for you. But you know what?
It's also a neck line that makes you look more feminine,
which is why I keep wearing V-neck so much. Tip number three.
Again, let's talk about my trousers. You can see there in the background.
I'm not really going to pull them out,
but my third tip is really about stocking up on trousers.
You can see here in the background, of course I have those dark trousers.
Then I have green. I have a red, some pink, I think I have some orange there,
some pattern, gray, yellow. What else do I have?
Nude, white and I have more and more whites.
I have a lot of white trousers because I love white. Now ladies,
definitely stock up with trousers because we are entering a trouser season.
And if you live in a country that it gets really cold and you might even have to
wear something that's warming you underneath your trousers.
But truly trousers are going to be your best friend in this type of climate.
But in order not to look boring,
this is when you should be experimenting with color or at least,
if you're somebody who have a body shape where you feel adding color to your
bottom part is not going to be flattering for you.
Then try and think about how you can instead use different types of
cuts on trousers and so on that are flattering for you.
But if you have a body type that allows you adding a bit of color down there,
definitely do that. Like you saw me, I have everything from blue, black, green,
red, yellow. I mean, I have pretty much most of the colors.
And I really think that when you have so many colors to choose from,
and when you also have many tops or knit wear or turtlenecks
or cardigans, etc that also you purchased in all kinds of colors.
But please note colors that suit and your complexion,
then you are truly going to have endless of combinations in your fall and winter season.
And it's actually not going to be as boring as you anticipated to be
at this stage. Number four. And speaking of separates,
I am going to continue to talk about this because it is that important.
Definitely this is not going to be a dress and skirt season that we are
entering, but this doesn't mean that you can't wear these things, anyway.
Of course, you can. If you wear hosiery,
if you somehow get a skirt or a dress in the material that is more
thick and so on, they can still keep you a little bit warm during the season.
One of my favorite tips so that I can still wear my dresses and my skirts
during the season is to actually wear them with boots.
Maybe something like this.
Now, I know, Anna Wintour loves wearing boots and skirts, and dresses.
And I also know Victoria Beckham does a lot that in her fashion line,
but I really need to give a big shout out for this type of style.
It's a really great styling tip in fall and winter,
because you still allow yourself to dress feminine while still keeping yourself warm.
You don't have to wear necessarily the tights.
You can just wear your boots and they will be covering enough for you to still
stay warm. I also recommend to buy boots, not only in the color black,
buy them in brown, buy them in gray, buy them in nude color.
Here I have in nice aubergine. As you know,
I love wearing my white clothes, my white trousers and so on.
So boots like this, I would actually be able to wear.
So try and experiment with a little bit of color.
It's really going to spice things up for you.
And if you are not very much into kind of the more flamboyant aspect of style,
the why don't you keep yourself to neutral colors or natural colors?
Because those are always going to be very classic, safe bets,
and always easy to combine.
Number five, invest in coats. And ladies,
last year I did the three parts coat special,
where I really gave you an in depth masterclass on how to pick the
perfect coat and how to choose the right color, etc.
And do you know why I did the three-part series?
Because coat is one of the most important things that you should invest in
and spend on during fall and winter season. Why?
Because it's such a big piece. It accepts so much of our space.
Well, you know what I mean?
But also because it's one of those things we're going to be seen in whenever
we leave our home. And I'm sure a lot of you, ladies,
you are perhaps commuting or you want to take a stroll in town, etc.
So that's going to be the piece of garment that people look at you
and over and over again. And I personally feel,
in order not to become totally depressed and feel absolutely ugly during fall
and winter, you really need to alternate your coats.
You can't just buy one coat in the color black. That's not really,
what's going to make you feel your best or even look your best.
I know that funds can be limited, but what's important is to maybe try and see.
Can you maybe get a second coat or maybe a third coat and try and experiment
a little bit with color. But to find out more about coats,
definitely watch that series that I made on YouTube.
It's going to be of great asset to you. Ladies,

Number six, ladies,
and this is a must.
Did I put it the right way?
Okay. Quite frankly, ladies,
I am not a big fan of hats like this. What do we call them, a beanie?
But the truth is that it is going to get cold at some point.
And we can necessarily only rely on hats like this.
They might not always keep us warm,
but a beanie in very high quality material will always keep us warm.
I really, really want all of you elegant ladies to buy a beanie in some
very good material, in soft material,
in the material that will really keep you warm. But not only that,
why do we want to have a very high quality beanie?
Because you are going to look more expensive.
Now you don't have to get a beanie with a big logo like I have here,
but pick one that it just feels amazing.
And think about that you will be wearing this thing every day.
Because one of the things that we don't want to compromise on is warmth, right?
We need to stay warm during the season.
I don't want you to get sick and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable whenever
you go out. I feel like this is such an important piece of garment for me.
So that's why I really wanted to include this on the list.
But I also think that, since this going to be your everyday item,
make sure you spend on it. So even if you buy a Chanel like I did,
or if you buy something else,
just make sure you love it and that it feels comfortable,
and that it suits your coloring as well. As you can see,
I bought one hat that is my color, flatters my color.
Since this piece of garment is so close to my face,
it cannot be in the color that clashes with my face.
So I'm excited for you and your warmth this season.
You really need to get one of these. Tip number seven,
and this is going to be the last tip. I'm talking about gloves, ladies.
And I'm not giving you some really rocket science things here.
But another thing that I have really paid attention to is how important gloves
are during the season.
But it gets also quite boring if we just wear black gloves.
So that's why you should buy them in different colors and also colors that will
perhaps match or look good with the color of the coats that you own.
So if you have a beige coat, as an example,
maybe having black gloves will look really boring with it. Why not buy,
let's say red gloves or something like that?
I wear a lot of whites. Of course,
I like to wear a bit of light colored gloves. Regardless,
I think gloves are important. So don't forget to buy those things.
And since gloves don't cost too much,
usually you can actually spare a little bit and buy them in different
colors to kind of spice up your outfit. Now ladies,
that was all for me today.
