Not for spring summer season . A good light weight long trench would be more useful for the season.

I used to work for a top sunglasses/spectacles company and you pay a large premium for a designer name. If you can find a pair of sunglasses made with acetate rather than plastic, you will be buying the same or similar quality.

I came looking for this comment. I feel like there's not much difference between expensive and cheap sunglasses. Both stylistically and quality. With clothes there can be a huge difference in material and quality of construction, but with sunglasses that are mostly plastic or metal and similar construction, I really don't think it's worth the investment.

Tip: Don’t buy luxury sunglasses if you can find the same style for less or at. Big discount. They don’t last longer and aren’t made better. You’re paying for the label. My Ray-bans have outlasted all my luxury glasses including YSL, Gucci, and Tom Ford.

My Ray-ban's are like my old Nokia. They're going to outlast me.

Very good points here, Lydia. Another factor for me is the quality of fit, particularly for those less standard parts of our bodies. If you have greater curves in a certain area, for example, sometimes it is worth it to spend more on the right fit that will flatter you best. If you are easy to fit, a basic item in a standard size will likely still look pretty good.

As always great content and well spoken. I’ve had my Tod driving loafers for nearly 15 years and sunglasses about 5. Great quality . Classic and timeless.

Such a really useful video Lydia. It was a real prompt to me about where and what to spend my money on. Thank you. ❤️

Thanks so much, Lydia. I love that your videos are so straightforward. It’s wardrobe common sense, although I’m sure you’ve carefully thought through every recommendation. Wisdom takes time and effort to acquire. I’ve learned so much from this video alone. Much love from a grateful subscriber.

Those Cult Gaya earrings, the Isabel Marant belt,the Loewe glasses and your overal gorgeous jewelry are so beautiful and chic. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Lydia, LOOOOOVE your videos. Because of you I perchased the exact same Isabel Marant belt (preloved) and it’s such a valuable piece to my wardrobe! Thank you and keep up the good work.

Completly agree, i have pieces from Tod's, not only shoes, bags too, and the quality is amazing and their design is timeless!!!

This video like so many of your past videos are always useful. Great job.

Really enjoyed todays video. I have found mixing all my investment pieces, with some high street, works well for me. But as you say Lydia, it’s always the investment pieces, that stand the test of time.

Greqt video Lydia! Thank you 👍👍 many of us do not know those things and learn hard by spending too much money, where we really shouldn’t do so 🙄 I would add that it is worth investing into good quality, classic watch. The best would be the bi-color model, as it would match any ourfit and type of jewellery. 😘😘

Good advice Lydia,adore your style 💐

I have some Isabel Marant trainers that I must have bought around 8-9 years ago. I used to be careful where I wore them as they are fur, but now I wear them everywhere (UK, rains a lot). Fur is only just starting to thin out at the toes. They are so well made, I will definitely invest in some more.

Excellent advice - thank you. sunglasses shoes bags belts blazer jewellery - got it!

Last year, I got a very beautiful pair of Tod's like yours but in a dark tan. I got them at Holt Renfrew Montréal on sale for 445$ can. so it means for around 220 pounds I guess. They are si confortable and high quality. For that Price; an amazing investment!

Looove all your luxury accesories

Love this video! I bought the Loewe Pochette last August and have worn it so much already this year. I then got the Celine basket bag for the same reason as you mentioned trying to avoid buying all one brand!

Hi Lydia I agree with you on what pieces to invest though I must say I live in Spain where leather goods are excellent in quality and design without being any particular brand and so affordable for almost anyone, you just have to know exactly what you're looking for and where...

Saame Brazilian, Portuguese, Spanish people know it very well. No surprise all brands source and produce their leather goods in those countries ( from High end to middle range and beyond!) When I go back home to Brazil, I really have to control myself to not over spend because there are just stunning craftmanship for almost nothing.

Stride Rite and yes they are still the best kids shoes, super cute, excellent quality and awesome support for kids feet!!! We definitely have them here in the US and they're still very popular 😁 Happy belated Birthday 💕

Think that investing in better quality (often equal to more expensive) pieces has come with age for me. Good tia, much appreciated Lydia.

Dear Lydia.😍Thanks for another great video 🤩I love watching all your amazing videos 👏👏 One question. The beautiful chunky chain on your right hand, where is it from?🤓I love that one🥰 Thanks 🙏🏻

Hey Lydia, lovely vid as always. Where's your mug from?

Great video! I love your reasoning and examples! Speaking of, have you heard about Colorful Standard? Would they be considered quality for the price?

Hi! Even your t-shirt seems to be a great, quality piece. Would you mind sharing the t-shirt that you're wearing with the earrings?

Treat yoself! Love this video Lydia 😌🍷

Love this bag! Is it easy to pack for vacation at the beach?

Enjoyed video inspired me to wear my belt outside my baggy sweater . Thanks

I agree with all of these!

Great video and explanations. For the earrings, seen them a lot, but are they not very heavy? What is the weight of them ?

I would love to see similar video with broader outlook /experience of where to invest and where not to... Something without affiliate marketing, not that it matters much, but I think it would allow for a broader not restricted by marketing opinion of yours, Lydia. Thanks though interesting pieces you show!

This may be a bit off topic, but love your mug! Where did u get it?

Love your channel

I love the Tods loafers. Very well made, beautiful colour and details. I would love some ideas on comfortable, classic low-heeled shoes with some support (not totally flat) that are closed toe for the summer (not sandals). If you have any ideas, that would be great. Thanks.

Do you find that the leather creases faster when you’re using both sides of the Isabel Marant belt?

I agree on all points except for denim. Like somebody mentioned before it's a major difference between expensive and cheap denim. I also think it's not worth splurging on sportswear.

Great tips - I have never understood why someone would buy expensive denim/jeans or white trainers, when as you say, no one can tell the difference. Although if someone has the budget, and it makes sense to them, go for it :).

I have been on the hunt for a great belt and very excited about this one! I had been on the hunt for a great belt and was absolutely clueless about which to pick, but Lydia answered my prayers with the perfect suggestion. I paused the video and ordered the belt. Cannot watch in piece until I have it LOL. May I ask though, do you know why the pricing of the reversible belt is almost 2x the non-reversible? I was a bit surprised by that. This sounds so silly but this is actually my first belt, so I am ignorant. I suppose that in a normal belt, the flip side is unfinished?

I agree with everything you said, but I'm thinking that my favourite shirts are all silk and even the poplin shirts that I own the best tailored ones are all expensive unfortunately.

Interesting to note the right down to floor length of baggy trs. I had been wondering if my baggy jeans needed to be shortened on sneakers with rounded toes but will leave them to floor...thanks.

I'm looking for button down white shirts, a boyfriend one and a classic form fitting one. What brand are you wearing in this video?

Omg SHOES are a must, comfort is essential for your feet, always worth the money, for classic shoes. Not so much Valentino platforms, just saying. Lydia, doll, just a suggestion for us in the US that follow you, maybe suggestions on same brands euro vs dollars??? Sunníes are great, i have Dior, Prada, Gucci and I need to say I have some fabulous not so expensive ones, that tend to go to more than the others. My Costas are exceptionally good since I live in Florida. Adding statement jewelry really do make a difference. They don’t need to be mega expensive, just unique enough. Just purchased a pair of black and grey Lily Silk trousers from your last video. I also highly recommend Eileen Fisher. I have invested, well not really I thrift a couple of black blazer, unfortunately, again I live in Florida, if I’ve worn them twice, it’s too much. I thrift as mush as possible. Especially if I invest in basic. Great video ! Always donate , it will most definitely help someone else.

Love the Tods. I wish they were the driving shoes…

I like your handbag

Loewe is a beatiful Spanish brand indeed.

SUPER VIDEO 🙂

Another great video. Would you make a video with a woman in her 50`ies, size 12-ish, and comment on jeans, footwear, and jewellry combined with glasses. Sometimes too much is going on in your face when you wear glasses and add bigger earrings or statement necklace.

Especially Ines de la Fressange collaboration? Shirts and trousers (blazers never tried). In Italy we can find small producers and I always wait for sales season to buy a pair of well made shoes.

Sometimes I feel small local producers are missing from alot of the conversation on youtube! In Ireland, the pricing can be closer to high end high street than the luxury price tag and the quality is amazing especially in tweeds, wools, linens here (were as Italy I'd imagine its broader range as has a deeper artisanal fashion culture). I also try to be a discerning sales and second hand shopper.

@@laura4457 That’s true!! I love Irish craftsmanship! In Italy you can find really good pieces in open markets, by both small producers and luxury brands. For example in Turin we have 3/4 markets specialised in clothes and accessories. We have also little shops but unfortunately they are dying because of crisis and a thinner middle class. Second hand is a very good choice too!!

Hello Lydia! Thank you for your lovely videos! They are inspirational and I always glean helpful fashion ideas from you. The classic looks are my true style. I live in the US. Finding classic clothing is sometimes a challenge for me here, especially with relaxed or trouser style denim or pants in general that aren’t “body con”.
