Im from Poland. Once I was visiting my parents who live in a small town. My mama said: “ Let’s go to grocery store grab a few things” “ok” I said “let’s go”. My mom give me look and said “Can you change before we go”… I’m so used to causal US I forgot you have to dress up to go get groceries. I miss it sometime

Omgosh lol my husband is from Hungary and he asked why everyone walks around in pajamas here ( US ) 🤣 he said women (and men) don’t go anywhere without being dressed well, makeup and hair done.

​@@saraantonelli3586To feel shame is to be dead while being still alive. A lot of women make a choice to wear leisure wear. It works for waking a dog, taking kids to gymnastics, as well as feeling comfortable at home. To judge that is about being judgemental and ableist. Women already have lots of expectations placed on them, and they prioritize doing stuff over taking the time to look nice for others. Besides look at what people do in the US. Their achievements and fearlessness make them take risks and do awesome stuff, along with not caring what others think about how they dress

It's sad when people are so judgemental and shame people they supposedly love. I get that people dress up, but most people can't afford quality things. So is wearing a dress made out of thin fabric and a cheap pattern better than leisurewear? Perhaps not always. Is it better for posture and feet and comfort to wear leisurewear while walking a dog or taking kids to gymnastics. Or is it better to look stiff and uncomfortable. American women look put together in most jobs. Teachers, consultants, and many other people look put together and yet they also own a no make up and leisurewear whenever they want.

At about 12 minutes or so, Alyssa seems to apologize for how similar for the ‘repetition’ of the formula, but that is a big part of why we come back! To see the tiny tweaks that give us the frisson of the new from our tried & true! (Rhyme unintentional but I’m not mad at it either🙃)

Great video, very original ;) .. definitely gave me some food for thought .. boy how much I love italian style ... I've spent much time in Florence and always appreciated the 'effortless chic' way that people dress and care for how they present themselves to the world..wish that was more of a standard here in Toronto ;) My Polish mother NEVER went out without considering how she presented herself !

Just came back from Italy yesterday. The style in Rome and Florence surprised me. Beautiful fabrics, tailoring, not too over sized, great sunglasses, minimal jewelry and a fabulous bag!!!!! And then came sneakers😅. The Italian women put in effort to their styling and then had sneakers on. But after walking 15,000 steps a day on cobble stone streets, I totally get it!!!! Side note…saw so many loafers too! Classic ones with that Gucci horse bit look.

I’ve really enjoyed this video. I’m British but I live in Madrid and have just been on a hiking holiday to Lake Como in Italy. I definitely vibed the sharper way of dressing in Italy. UK dressing seems really casual now, and Madrid is somewhere in between. My wardrobe is a bit chaotic!!

LOVE that mint green cardigan.

Great video, Alyssa! You are having fun here, and the joy you showed when you put together an outfit that you were pleased with was just so fun. I know the feeling - when it all comes together beautifully. Not always, but it's great when it does.

I took so many screenshots! Of course I don’t have these exact pieces, but I was thinking, oh that would work with X and that would work with Y! Thanks for another inspiring video

This video is so much fun! I love the concept. All the outfits are amazing, but the Canadian ones resonate with me the most. Now, here's the problem: I'm italian. 😅

This is one of your best videos!! Thank you!❤

Love your explanation of feeling “the presence of both cultures”

Such an interesting concept of straddling two cultures!!! I do find people dress more casually here, I’m from Switzerland and as much as I adapted wardrobe ideas when we moved here, I’ve also had to do the same with food… it took time but blending the two taught me so much :)

I really loved all of the outfits except for the one with the sweater dress and cowboy boots, only because the color combination didn't convince me (I think it might be that the boots are a warmer tone and the dress is cool), but the overall idea is good. I love that you repeat outfit formulas and show that it can look completely different

Oh, I’m feeling inspired by these ideas! I can do iterations of most of them!! Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤

I really loved this video, as it can really apply to styling looks for dressy for more casual looks anywhere , making it so relatable. Very Inspiring!

Wow! I love your fashion sensibility! So classy, so fun!

Love all the outfits. I actually have lots of stuff from sezane!! And I love all my pieces as well:). Thank u❤

That was a great video! Lots of wonderful looks that really made the most of your wonderful looks (all that running has to be good for something....ha ha😊) and good exploration/explanation of how changing up elements can give a completely different nuance to a look.

Loved it! Simple yet innovative 😍

Love the moto over sweater dress, tights & boots!

This was amazing 🤩 what a wonderful idea to compare the two facets of yourself in the way you style your clothes. Wonderful ideas 💡

My fav was the trousers with the belted blazer…..stunning!😍

Love the runners with the jeans and turtleneck!

Alyssa-you should always show off your legs and embrace the bomb shell look! Given that you are working with Sezane and adding new items to your wardrobe, how do you feel about acquiring new (sustainable) pieces? Are you replacing items or enjoying these beautiful additions?

I absolutely cannot decide which side I love more. I love Canadian & Italian side. And I would wear them both, even I am 100% European. By the way...looove your cowboy boots.❤

Great video Allyssa. I especially loved the grey sweater,jeans and trench coat the best. But I also loved the leather skirt, white shirt,boots and aqua sweater.

Oh wow! I stayed In Monteverde many times years ago. This is my fav video as I contrasts so well the differences I felt going from super casual New Zealand to Rome!! Saved! ❤❤❤

I appreciate the contrast of the outfit in Canada or in Italy, and your setup of how you're moving through the world when you're in each place. I'm wondering if some of the difference is that you're in your everyday life versus more of a vacation vibe, as well as Italian style versus Canadian style.

I loved seeing the differences - very evident! Thanks for an awesome video! :)

What a good video concept! I never really put thought into it (I just did it), but i am Canadian with German parents and relatives in Germany; I too have noticed i dress differently in the presence of my parents or when i'm in Germany/Europe (more polished) vs. Canada (very casual here). Thanks, that was fun. 😄

Where does the endless creativity come from lol - your vids/mixing and matching are so helpful with shopping my own closet

Your style is absolutely impeccable. ❤

OMG! I need to replicate some of those looks. Very nice, casual, classic, but subtly sexy. I think we tend to dress too casual here in Toronto. I wish we would all just step it up a notch. your interpretations of the two cultures are great. Thanks Alyssa.

Loved this! Love the balance of taking style to other locals and getting to play dress up related to the vibe of the place rubbing off and influencing personal style. And to add a comment related to recent podcast on sponsored content... everything you create is so uniquely you that sponsored content feels just like non sponsored and I never have issue with seeing either. This vid is a perfect example !

Ciao Alyssa, Loved this video ☺️ and I have to say, although I am italian, that I love both styles!

Loved this ❤

Ditto on the socks + heels, that would raise eyebrows in my neck of the woods. Everything else would work, though. Great to see how style varies from place to place.

I love the heavy winter dress with the cowboy boots 👢

I really enjoyed this video. I live in, and am from, Northern California Bay Area. Which, I am pretty sure, pioneered the idea that wearing pajamas to the grocery store is perfectly fine. However, I think in my heart my personal style is more Italian. I love the understated bombshell look. I am always trying to find a happy medium between the two. Videos like these help. Also, that leather mini look fabulous on you!

I really like the concept of this video. I find myself doing this unconsciously when I am packing for a trip, or just trying to embody the vibes of celebs/media from different countries. I definitely utilized this tactic of styling things I already had in a more "European" way when we went overseas last summer. Even my husband commented how we didn't stick out like tourists. Maybe you could do a similar video when considering packing, and how to blend in to the place you are travelling to?

Great view on how to look at your closet!

It's really interesting how the places we stay influence our way to get dressed. In summer I always stay for some weeks in a house on a lake. I always bring lots of my cloths I generally wear here in my city in Austria. But at the end I only wear my real casual peaces an feel super comfortable in them. I would feel so oversressed wearin more polished cloths there. So we are so influenced by our circumstances! But that's also a very interesting fact about fashion, that it could create so different vibes and moods. It's really fun to play around with different looks and styles!

Always inspiring.

Love your videos! You are so talented. Regards from Spain

I just wanted to take a moment and tell you that I have taken your advise on two companies and they have both been a win! I ordered a shirt from POMP, and a belt from Brave leather. I am thrilled with both and will be ordering more. I obviously goofed a little on the belt because it’s a little big, but that’s okay🤪 Thanks for all your great content, and for making me make my existing wardrobe even more exciting! Keep up the good work. Huge fan here❤️

I always enjoy your videos, Alyssa! What are the tall black boots with the block heel?

Great styles! Especially the leather mini skirt with long jumper on top! A little weird editing choice at 7.51, wanted to see the finished look 😅

Another fun and informative video Alyssa! Thank you! Your videos are giving me such an opportunity to reconsider how I want my style to be and what I need to look for to change and upgrade my wardrobe. I have a question as well: I'd really like to know what you would suggest your blue puzzle bag with the jeans, black merino wool top and white runny sneakers. Though the overall look is good, for me, I know I would go with a black purse to compliment the outfit. Why not use one of your black bags? Why the puzzle for that look? I'm curious, that's all. Hoping to learn more as to how your eye sees that overall look vs the same outfit with a black bag or the fanny pack (which, btw, I love!!) Thanks!

I'm wondering about your olive acordian pleated skirt under the grey sweater dress, with scarf and boots. I loved the cropped jeans with the trench over. Don't know if you noticed the way the hems created a pagoda-like line, which was very cool. Lots to think about as always. Thanks.

A fresh concept to create different looks for two cultures with the same pieces. Very interesting and fun to watch. I like the Canadian looks more than the Italian looks except the last one with the black blazer. The more casual, relaxed vibe looks better on a very lean, athletic build. Italian looks might work better on softer, more feminine body types.

@@cbp7062 it is quite interesting that we seem to always want something we don’t have. I have an athletic and lean body, size 4 as well. I always want to look feminine and soft. I tried lots of feminine soft clothes, but never really feel right. When I wear more modern, relaxed, minimal clothing, I look effortlessly good. But I get bored with it. Then I start another cycle. I realize style has emotional element and technical element. Driven by emotion, everyone can wear everything as long as it makes her feel good. Then the technical side like body type, proportion, coloring, personality dictate whether one looks good in certain clothes. I try to find a balance, a happy medium. It is like marriage. Yes everyone is free to marry anyone. But if one marries someone highly compatible, happiness is a lot easier to achieve.
