YOUR WARDROBE DILEMMAS | Tailored Trousers & White Jeans
Hello everyone, how are you all doing? So welcome to the first video of my new
series where you guys can send in any kind of fashion related dilemmas or
questions that you have and I will try and help you by answering
and giving you I guess advice on how I would style it
um and show you just a little bit of
inspiration if you need it you know so for example someone could
send in I've just purchased some chunky black dad sandals
I don't know how to wear them I'm also going to be creating Pinterest boards as
well with extra inspiration if you need it
um so I'm here to help you as much as I can
but I asked people on Instagram this question and I had
so many responses which is amazing so without further ado
I'm going to jump into the first dilemma and um yeah I really hope you enjoy this
video. So for the first dilemma is how to wear
um I think this is probably a really kind of common
dilemma I guess I think that's why a lot of people tend to stray away
from tailored trousers because they don't want to look too manly
which of course there's nothing wrong with that I love a very kind of
boxy oversized masculine look it's I feel very comfortable in it but for
some people it's not what they want so I think that is why people tend to
stay away because they don't know how to make it look that's
you know slightly more feminine so probably my first advice would be
to tuck your tops in tuck your tops in it will create like a really lovely kind
of boxy fit on the top you know your shoulders
and chest area but then if you tuck it in it just cinches the waist in creates
that really lovely silhouette so I would obviously start off maybe some
t-shirts um just kind of get used to wearing them
with the tailored trousers I think that's a really good starting off point
and then you know when you're feeling a little bit more adventurous and
comfortable I would then move on to shirts I am a
sucker for a shirt and tailored trouser combo it's
I love it so so much I think wearing a belt is so so important to finish
off your outfits I feel like it just pulls it all together
it just adds that extra bit of detail you know which I think
some out that they really really need so I would probably suggest
as well wearing a belt with this look again just to really cinch in that waist
and it will create that focal point on the
waist which kind of will be going in to create that silhouette and
to make I guess to make it not look so masculine and then
of course some jewelry you know if you're not a huge jewelry person then
that's no problem you know maybe just do some earrings and a really simple
necklace I go probably a bit OTT I love a lot of
jewelry you know I love wear earrings and loads
of chunky rings but I think again it just adds that
extra bit of detail so at the moment if you've been following
me on Instagram you would see that I am absolutely loving a shirt and vest combo
um it's kind of the same thing so like the vest is quite like tight fitting
which would create that silhouette and I tuck it in
but then I love a very boxy oversized fit like I mentioned before I don't I
quite like actually the whole masculine kind of vibe so yeah I
would just wear the shirt undone over the top and it's perfect for
summer because it's quite breezy but yeah you know I think eventually when
you feel more comfortable and you just want to be a bit more
adventurous then you can kind of go more in that direction and just
literally chuck on oversized jumpers on the top and stuff
but to begin with then yeah tuck in your tops
and accessorize and then for the second dilemma someone sent in
they bought some white jeans recently but they have no idea how to style them
so to be completely honest with you that is actually how I felt
when I got my white jeans I bought them because I just wanted a pair in my
wardrobe and to have them because they were quite on trend
but I just I really stayed away from wearing them because I had no idea how
to style it and it's not until I think probably this
year that I've kind of figured out how I like to wear
them and what goes with them and like just
gaining I think it's gaining that confidence to wear them as well because
if you're used to wearing like a blue jean a white jeans quite bright
and for me it felt quite out there so like I said it was trying to gain that
confidence and I guess like trust in myself
that what I was wearing or you know what I put together actually looked good
so I completely understand how you feel definitely felt like that at first
but you know a white jean I feel is an essential
for a summer wardrobe but it's they're also great for autumn and winter
you know winter when everyone tends to wear like the really dark kind of
outfits I feel white jeans are great for just brightening it up a little bit
um so yeah I'm definitely wearing mine this winter as well anyway I'm going off
track so to start off with your white jeans
I would style them with I'm going to a t-shirt again you'll kind of understand
my style if you've been watching my youtube or
instagram you kind of will get a gist of what my style is I wear a lot of shirts
and t-shirts um so for the white jeans I would say
start off with some t-shirts um but start off with basic colors
so a black a gray a navy and maybe a white
I just think those will be I just think those colors are
really simple a good basic and will be really easy for you to style
and they're not too intimidating do you know what I mean they kind of go with
everything whereas if you have like an orange top
you're like ah what bag can I wear what shoes can I wear you know
it it gets a bit confusing I find so sticking with your basic colors
you're guaranteed to have a pair of shoes and a bag that goes with it so
with the t-shirts I'd obviously tuck them in as well
and again that leads on to the accessorizing
belt I feel like a belt is an essential for a white jean outfit
um obviously not everyone would like that or agree but I just feel like it
really just you know how I was mentioning earlier how it just finishes
off the look this is a prime example with a white
jean it just doesn't feel finished to me without a belt and you
know if you're wearing a black belt it's so easy you can wear black
shoes do you know what I mean like if you don't wear a belt
I just feel like wearing black shoes can be really really harsh so I just think
again having those kind of black accessories just makes your life a
little bit easier when it comes to accessorizing with a bag or shoes
and then you know it's the same sort of thing as the tailored trousers when you
start to feel a little bit more confident and comfortable
you know and you want to be a bit more adventurous and try something new then
shirts I think shirts are such a lovely look of white jeans especially in the
summer if you get like some really lovely linen shirts
they look great tucked in again I would probably suggest
sticking to a tucked in look just to start off with
and then when like I said before when you really start to feel a bit more
comfortable then you can kind of be like go for the slouch look but um to
begin with I would definitely suggest tucking in
and then again the same as like the first dilemma when you feel a bit more
confident and comfortable you're going to want to be a bit more
adventurous and that is when you can start introducing more
color and you'll start to realize that pretty much
any color goes with white you know you can wear yellow with it you could wear
blue with it you can wear green with it you could wear
whatever color you want because white is it's just it's a basic color isn't it so
everything's gonna go but I would definitely
try and stick to the accessorizing like I said with a black belt because then
you can wear your black shoes um you know when you start introducing
that bit more color it can get a little bit difficult like I said
what to wear it with you know in terms of like a jacket or
shoes um so I don't know I guess it's just you
have to experiment I guess and just try it all on
and you'll kind of suss out what works and what doesn't and
what you enjoy but of course I'll be leaving a Pinterest board
with all the white jean inspiration so you guys can go back as many times as
you want to and like I said pin it to your boards and
save for inspiration um yeah that is how I would probably
style a white jean um I really hope you found this helpful
and useful if you enjoyed it please let me know
and if you have any dilemmas or any sort of kind of fashion related questions
then send me a message on Instagram obviously just stating that it is for
this video um yeah like I said I really hope you
enjoyed it and I will see you all very soon
bye
