Thin leatherjackets,are very important in my wardrobe...in various colours,with leathertrousers,leggings or skirt,it is great for all occations...

Love that some of your clothes were purchased in travel...makes such a special memory when wearing.

So glad I found you. Very helpful--easy to understand--thank you.

Yes, all very good tips.

I think you forgot to mention one of the essential wardrobe pieces, the black blazer :) and the one you’re wearing in your video is amazing!

Very good tips!!

This was so helpful. I have most of these items in my wardrobe because of watching you and Audrey Coyne

This info is so helpful. Very inspired. Thanks

Fantastic suggestions and the visuals help, too! Our body types are completely different, but I am wondering if you have worked with anyone with the shape I referenced below (I am 5' 8", by the way), and suggestions for cuts of the wardrobe pieces you recommend. Thanks again! So happy I discovered you!

This is something which I wanted......thank you so much for this.....

I agree with all your choices but would include a blazer for sure!

It's so funny how so many people don't really think before they shop. I think we are all pretty mindless shoppers. And btw, love your hair like that.

Thanks for summarizing and making this so simple. Could you please tell us Who makes your black blazer? You wore it with almost every item that you talked about. Thanks

Thanks for all the great information you provide about curating pieces that provide wardrobe options, slow fashion, sustainability, etc. Is it ok to wear, for example, a blazer with a skirt or pants of a different fabric type, texture or sheen, even if they’re all black? I have some strange fashion hang ups, like that one!

Love this video! I also agree that affiliate links would be a great idea, whether it's the actual item or similar ones. Your style is A++ so I'd definitely want to know what pieces of clothing are Alyssa-approved!

I liked that you shared a simple thin sweater. The big heavy sweaters add too much weight and let's face it we don't all look like you. I stay away from those big sweaters. I might try a thin one now. Thanks.

Tracy Doverspike good point - not all sweaters look good on everyone ... I thin one that falls nicely is always great to have - I’m glad you liked the video, thank you so much for watching 😊

I appreciate the visuals in your video. You don't just talk but show.... I just wish that someone would do a video about basics that aren't always black, white or even grey! For instance, I wear navy instead of black... my one pair of trousers are brown, and I pair them with pink and cream... can we have a basic wardrobe with more basic colours? What's the best way to substitute? Thanks...

Beth Brown hi Beth! This is such a good point - it would be fun to incorporate colour or print. I do think it's a good idea to have a solid base of neutrals so you can add colour once you've got your foundation. But colour is Def something I'll keep in mind for my Spring basics video! thanks for watching! xx

For what it’s worth your neutrals ought to be colors that make you look gorgeous. And that might not be black. I also prefer navy, though I have had trouble finding it lately. Alyssa looks AMAZING in black, if I wear black near my face I need to allow more time for makeup. When you hear black try thinking ‘my dark neutral’, and fr white think ‘my light neutral’ and if you really want to see wardrobes broken out in lots of different colors try the Vivienne Files website.

Hello. New fan here. Question: where did you buy the white and black v-neck tees?

Loved your how to wear a dress 15 ways. Would love to see some of these basics in videos like this.

Hi Aylessa, I absolutely love your style and taste in clothes. I love all the pieces you showed. What do you do if you're struggling with sizing? All the pieces you mentioned are basics but I find some of the looks are difficult for me to pull off. I love the idea of a penicillin skirt or even motto jackets to give you're outfits more edge. But sometimes they just don't look right. Any tips?

@AlyssaBeltempo

5 жыл бұрын

hey there! Apologies for the delay! It's tough to say without seeing you, but a lot of times these basics simply depend on fit and tailoring ... for example the hemline of a pencil skirt will be more flattering on different body types, or the cut of a moto jacket as well. I do find for moto jackets the ones that have a more fitted waist tend to look best on most as it either accentuates or adds a flattering curve ... I hope this helps a bit:) And so appreciate you watching!

I have a hard time finding camisoles and v-neck tees that are long enough (hitting at the mid-hip, ideally). Any suggestions?

Please, please, please---where did you get your blazer? Do you think a shorter blazer is better or a longer? Or both?

Marie B. Hi Marie! Thanks for watching! I would recommend a nicely fitted jacket (make sure there are darts at the back!) That comes in at the waist to accentuate the smallest part of your torso and ends above the widest part of your hips - another alternative would be a denim blazer - harder to find but very form fitting and great for your body type. Hope it helps and thanks for the q! xx

What is the best type of undergarment for the loose silk camisoles you displayed? I find that strapless bras never fit properly and move around

@AlyssaBeltempo

6 жыл бұрын

Emilia Arrington hi Emilia! Great question - if you can get away with it I would say go braless with the black cami but if you need to wear one I do use a strapless - it’s Calvin Klein and actually stays up! I’m impressed with it!The other option is to wear a bandeau underneath if you’re ok with more of a street style look. I find bandeaus stay up a bit better. Finally, I would find a beautiful feminine bra with details that you don’t mind showing and wearing under the cami - nothing wrong with showing off a beautiful strap or tasteful detail imo :) hope that helps & thanks so much for watching xox

If you are a warm skin tone should mention off white instead of stark white tee, cami if can find it.

Lots more work, I know, but I don't see why your channel shouldn't grow to the 100's of 1000's. May I encourage you to keep pushing yourself..we need you in youtubeland.

Strassberger Travel so sorry for the delayed reply! It’s a tough question because it depends on the rest of your body type ... I think an important piece is knowing what parts you want to camouflage but also want to highlight - small waist? Beautiful shoulders? To create height, wearing longer cardis or shirts open, but so important to know where you want to draw attention to - does this start you in the right direction? Thanks for watching! xx

Why so much black? Black has become the new beige and its getting monotonous when there's too much of it in a wardrobe. P.S. Wow! Great dress! Definitely an item that never goes out of style.

i'm sitting here after watching a few of your videos thinking "oh that's cool, but why don't i want it in my closet." I have come to the realisation I need to look into a masc version of these and stop suppressing my gender expression :/
