Kathleen, please continue to make things about art theory! I loved learning about why certain outfits work through the lens of established tenants of style and design! Sometimes, I'll really like something and not be able to articulate why until you mention something in one of your videos and I'll be like "I KNEW I LIKED YOU FOR A REASON!"

YES! It’s super cool to learn more about I’d love a guide to design principles

My go-to recipe is swooshy skirt + button-up shirt + vest/cardigan + big ol' belt. I feel like a pirate or a professor or a hobbit or a little milkmaid or an adventurer, depending on the specific combo, and it always brings me so much joy.

Best piece of fashion advice ever given to me was - "dress like your character in a movie." It means I wear more jewellery and accessories and generally try harder when dressing

Yes, another slam dunk of a video!!! One thing I sometimes do to feel inspired is pick a favourite character and try to dress like them based off my own wardrobe. Ex, depending on the vibe, any of the three main characters in Jurassic Park lol

I love tiny top big bottom chonky shoe! Also, I so appreciate you taking this topic in a visual artistic direction, because while I've unlearned a lot of my internalized fatphobia, words like "flattering" and goals like defining the waist can be really triggering. This helped me to think of my outfit less as a way to make myself look a certain way, and more like I'm designing an art project. Just make cool shapes!!

That's a huge reason that I take a design/artistic approach to style, too! I see you & am glad we can battle societal expectations together :)

Just adding to the many comments of PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!! I love learning new "style rules" that aren't about flattering or emphasizing waist or whatever else fashion BS there is. I feel so inspired by you and now I'm excited to do my closet declutter with this new framework of "what if I would wear this more if I styled it different?" for those pieces I love but can't figure out how to wear. Thank you!!!

Glad you enjoyed it! I looooove reworking my pre-conceived ideas to make fashion more fun and freeing so I'm glad you're along for the ride! We've got this!!! :o)

It's a little bit tough of a combo for me since I'm so short but lots of Southeast Asian and South Asian cultures have been rockin' the dress over pants look for ages! I'm planning on getting a fun, modern version of a traditional viet ao dai for my wedding so it's def worth a look for inspo with that sort of outfit.

diagonal cardigan just changed my whole life

you're the best wha da heck!!

This video is about to be my fashion Bible. I will be referring back to her every morning until I memorize every word of this wonderfully practical text.

My favorite recipe is a 90s throwback 🌻 Flowy swirly almost-maxi skirt, floral or hippie top, long vest or jacket, maybe a belt if my waist is too hard to find under there, and any velvety, shiny, or embroidered pieces are bonus points! Substitute jeans and sandals at whim!

A winter outfit recipe staple for me is tshirt with a plaid/flannel on top over jeans or a long skirt.

I realize I do the monofit with diagonal accent all the time! My favorite is to belt a long Tshirt/columnar dress or jumpsuit with a furoshiki, palestinian keffiyeh or a bold eastern european cabbage rose wool scarf. Even better if lots of patterns involved. I love a good pattern mix. If you fold the scarf on the diagonal and tie anywhere around the waist or hip you get a great sectioning of the body into two triangles. Added fun: if the scarf has tassels or fun trim, fringe.

For summer, I love a solid color, maxi cotton-jersey tank dress with a very airy oversized crocheted pullover and super long "statement" pendant _or_ a seersucker midi pinafore topped by a snug crocheted crop top (I have one in taupe decorated with sea urchin quills). Also, a snug crop tee, bike shorts, mini, or slim pants (in the same color) topped with a voluminous contrasting color (or cool pattern) button-down shirt or Japanese haori and cross-body jewelry or bag. I love your channel, Kathleen--interesting content but, what's more important to me, interesting creator.

I love crochet clothes, they are so comfy and the vibes are perfect.

Something I dont wear myself, but love on others: poofy princess dress + boots!

okay this goes more for fabric rather than silhouettes, but I feel like this is a pretty great combo: 2 solid pieces+ 1 patterned. Picture it; jeans, tiny plain top, checked blazer. Or how bout solid white shirt, solid black skirt, patterned vest? Have we considered solid colored matching top and bottom with FUNKY PATTERNED TIGHTS UNDERNEATH??? i think the moment you have 3 pieces or more on that work together you just come off automatically as more fashionable cuz people are like woah that person was able to make so many garments work in one fit!!! and 2 plain, 1 pattern means you are bold enough to wear a pattern but the outfit still matches cuz the rest is actually quite plain and simple

I did say I love you, I want you to know that. Also my favorite part of the video was how endless the possibilities were, you’re so right.

I've been dressing like my grandmas lately--- flowy colorful blouses with midi skirts (w/ pockets!!!), hair wrapped in a bandana/headscarf. They had impeccable style yo

My current outfit obsession is long swooshy skirt + tiny top. So many combinations. I like the juxtaposition of ultra feminine on bottom with the possibility of edgy or even sorta masculine on top.

My go-to outfit recipe during the winter months is a bright vest and a complimentary bow in a newsboy cap. IDK why but it makes me feel like a whimsical 1920's orphan!

Head wraps. They give you another space to play with texture and color. We should bring back more head pieces in general! :D

woo I love these outfit recipes! I've heard of the 2+2 (casual + formal), unmatched shoes / unmatched hat ! All of these sound quite interesting!

I feel like your channel has become my DIY BFA curriculum. Also...haven't tried this, but I recently saw a corset over a turtleneck, and it blew my mind.

guys, i think that the possibilities are... endless??

On a lazy day I typically tend to dress to the nines just for the fun of it, typically a long skirt/trousers, poofy sleeved blouse (off the shoulder, and a corset type top and/or belt. Adventurer/Hobbit/Jurassic Park/Garden Fairy/Treasure Planet/Pirate vibes. If I have to get stuff done then it’s tanks or flowing t-shirts and shorts/overalls, usually looking a bit blocky or well-fitted. Think of ✨camp counselor core✨. Those are my go tos!

I love how you always go for confidence and what to do and not what NOT to do

My go to recipe is cargo pants, tiny top, loose over shirt, and chunky boots. One of my favorite things to do is play with the length of the over shirt - I've got cropped button ups, oversized button ups, a long button up dress that I wear as an overshirt, and each of these pieces gives the recipe a different vibe (or flavor, if you will)

Party on the top + business on the bottom. And flip them to party on the bottom + business up top when necessary!

Kathleen illustrated I love you! :->> since I started watching your videos my style has shifted into combos that bring me joy! One of my favs atm is a boxy/long collared button up shirt, then a midi skirt or wide leg cropped culotte + calf length socks and boots + accessories (necklace, earrings, rings) it really makes me feel like I'm living my cool art student dreams.

I'm a big fan of the "tight sleeveless under-layer, long flowy over-layer, big boots" recipe. There's also "shirt with interesting chest/sleeves + vest" recipe that usually incorporates plain pants and a belt. Usually over-accessorizing at the neck, torso, & wrists, sometimes also the hips and shoulders. Often adding chains, safety pins, and other decorations

Sheer tights + loose short romper + sweater on top

one of my go-to's is skinny jeans, chunky boots and mid-length flowy jacket

My outfit recipe is colorful skinny jeans (or tripp pants), tucked int shirt, and big stompies (demonia shoes). I also wear a leg pouch (think fanny pack but more military in look and attaches around waist and to leg) (a purse/bag i cannot lose) which gives it a skinny- bulky-skinny-bulky sandwich effect. (bonus points for big, punk, or colorful hair and 3 or more necklaces)

I need to use outfit recipes more to save myself time in the morning! The one I tend to go for a lot is button up shirt + loose pants + high-tops and its winter version, button up shirt over a turtleneck + loose pants + boots.

Ooh I'm a big fan of the Princess in a silly goofy mood one! Corset/bustier + some sort of shirt + a skirt feels like such an integral part of my style!

Current favorite is harem pants and cropped tank top.

I'm a huge fan of skirt and graphic tee shirt, usually knotted, or just throwing on a dress and maybe layering with that, depending on the weather. Also dresses over dresses!

@@KathleenIllustrated it really is and it allows me to show off my graphic t collection with fun skirts!

My personal fav outfit recipe is ripped baggy jeans, either a long graphic tee, a mini shirt or shirtless, and then a ripped vest!! Can be a plaid vest, poofy vest, whatever you want! And then ofc we can’t forget the accessories!! Lots and LOTS of accessories

My favourite in the winter (I live in Canada so it gets pretty cold) is a turtleneck under a minidress (tight or loose) over wide leg jeans. Its such a great way to keep warm bonus if you are wearing tights under your jeans for extra warmth. Extra bonus if you have butterfly clips that match your dress lol. Whats nice about this is if you wear black jeans and an oversized black blazer its also super good for professional settings. I really love this combo! It's totally a go to on those cold winter days where I am too lazy. Love your videos btw, I always come to your channel for inspiration!

Love these ideas!!! Thank you so much for watching :)

My go to is always a layer over a turtleneck, a big t-shirt over a turtleneck, a tanktop/corset-like top over a turtleneck, or a dress over a turtleneck. It's such a solid go to, never fails. Of course big pant, little top is a classic Im more a fan of big jacket, big shoes, little pant.

One of my favourite recipes is figure-hugging crop top, high waisted bottom and long open top layer like a men's shirt, men's jacket, long cardigan, baggy zip hoodie etc. It plays so well with different heights of waistlines, contrast of volume, contrast of gendered clothing and you can even bring a great colour contrast in there with everything solid underneath and then a fun-coloured top layer or the other way round etc. Also, what I absolutely love is mesh and sheer stuff because it makes the silhouette even more complex.

The kind of outfit inspiration I need, creative yet structured. I'll be trying all the recipes 👌

Let me know how it goes!!

Back in the spring, before it got so hot, I liked wearing a men's vest as a top--the buttoned up, waistcoat type of vest. I'd wear this under my blazer with a pleated midi skirt--everything almost the same color. And big gold jewelry.

big fan of big dad button up with a maxi skirt and big boots atm ❤

just got back from Berlin where i rocked a long dress cross body bag and platform trainers every day ! (different dresses ) also like short dresses with footless tghts underneath in hot weather . In winter my go too is a long dress with a long sweater on top, or a long strappy dress with a long sleeved top underneath and chunky boots .🥰🥰

My current favorite recipe is high-waisted pants/skirts and a tied top. Sometimes it's billowy and voluminous, and sometimes it's more form-fitting. But I'm loving the tied-round-the-waist detail right now.

Giant dress! Oversized harem pants! Huge shoe/sandal! Then a swippy bit on top- like a tasseled shawl or duster!

Little shirt, big pants / long skirt, baggy button-up / hoodie.

another underrated go to i think is the MOST simple, but i basically just call it the rory gilmore, where its a full length top especially if the top is a bit fitted, and some mid-rise pants. im tellin you, when you need comfort this is THE go to. one of my favorite outfits are a tight graphic tee and then some sleek khakis or big black jeans. im also a GREAT enjoyer of the turtleneck, so pairing it with anything is a win in my book. under a oversize tee, or a regular sized tee, or a sweatshirt, or under overalls, or under a dress, on top of a skirt, shorts, or pants. my favorite piece in my wardrobe is a ribbed tight black turtleneck with 1/2 sleeves. there isn't a single thing i haven't worn with it

If I had the money I would totally hire you to tell me what to wear, I'd love to have your sense of style. Thank you so much for your work, for us fashion-impaired people, these videos are truly helpful ❤xxoo from Spain!

My work outfit. High waist pants, collared shirt and vest.

YES! I LOVE long layer long layer!!

A summery dress becomes colder weather appropriate with the power of a turtleneck underneath! (and perhaps tights or leggings hidden under the skirt) Probably only effective if you live somewhere that doesn’t get all that cold in the winter like I do (Australia) or more for Autumn or early spring when it’s chilly but not mid-winter cold…but I love it. Carries clothes that at first seem only appropriate for one weather flavour through the whole year! This is also how I wear my jumpsuits/overalls. Short shirt underneath in warmer weather (you know the pants on them are nice and big and flowy to let air through) and a long sleeved shirt / turtleneck underneath for for colder weather! Truly a go-to outfit recipe for me although it is just another spin-off of small top-big pants I think lol

Long skirt, lil top is always a winner. 😊 Would you ever consider making a style video about hairstyles/hair accessories with outfits? I always feel that's where my outfits fall down!

all my favourite outfits fit into these categories!! how exciting to have a formula for new ones

I'm loving the band tea with the neck cut flashdance style over the tank and ruffled skirt outfits. I will have to try that one!

I just discovered you! I was on my way to the thrift store and typed in thrifting fall trends... and BOOM! You showed up. I watched a few of your videos, and I'm an instant fan. You are adorable and fearless. I'm so inspired...off to the thrift store to find treasures...

Thank you for sharing your design wisdom. Learning that made this video S tier

I would like to add long coat, little skirt/ dress and I'm a big fan of using hair style and accessories to add to a silhouette

love a good p.i.a.s.g.m.! another simple fun outfit to do is masculine top + feminine bottom/ feminine top + masculine bottom. so like a men's button down/printed shirt/hoodie with a skirt or figure-hugging jeans, or a vintage blouse or frilly top with workwear inspired pants/cargos/corduroy big pants. alternatively, i go as femme as possible with like circle skirt and flowery silk shirt and big colourful earrings!

Little top/big bottom is a go-to for me a lot BUT, I also love pairing any sort of peasant blouse with a midi or maxi a-line skirt and a wide belt (last-minute renfaire outfit, if you will)

Been loving a maxi dress with a tee shirt over top. Add a knot to define the waist. ❤ Your videos Kathleen!

My favorite's big top, lil pants 💕

Pattern pants, with gold or silver belt, plain shirt, pattern jacket, black hat. I guess put simply a combination of patterns with solid colors is my outfit recipe of choice.

I love youuuuuu...r videos! This was really cool! I like the addition of some nerdy design principles there. Only complain is that is was too short! I want more 😄

Big fan of the tiny top big pants vibe ✌🏼✌🏼

My fav outfit recipe recently has been small high neck top+ flowy skirt/big pants+ flowy long outer layer like a cardigan or an unbuttoned button up

Oooh, for the fourth recipe, what about long necklace jewelry used as the diagonal?
