    I think it’s important to note that her style is very classic and of course her recommendations are geared to her style. I personally love my docs and the more little details, the better for me. So you just have to look at why she might feel these shoes look “industrial”. I think they give an edge that she doesn’t try to portray in her own looks.

    Or you just have to polish them from time to time with same color shoe-polish. I've used to change the color of entire boots by using simple polish in desired color, if I couldn't get a pair in a shade I wanted - i.e.oxblood booties became dark brown after one application of brown shoe polish. Light stitching stands no chance against it. Polish polish, polish. ;)

    @@ninav1522 Hi! Well, it depends on various factors - type of leather and polish you use. Do you have experience with shoe polish? They usually come as cream polish that you need to live in for a while and then polish with a brush or cloth - or as more liquid instant polish with sponge applicator ant the top that you use in between two 'proper' polishes to refresh your shoes and to give them quick, instant polished look. Those polishes dry fast, are not very nourishing for the leather and don't need polishing once they set. Both will do the same job - they'll dye contrasting stitching. Now, if you want to change the color of the entire shoe, you can go only the same color value (lightness/darkness) of darker. For example, you can't shoe polish for light shoes to make dark shoes lighter. You can do what I did - change the shade of equal value (from oxblood to brown) or make shoes darker. Depending on type of leather or faux/vegan leather used, the effect might vary I presume. Mine were from genuine calf. Once you treat your shoes with darker polish they will become darker and darker each time you apply the polish until they become the shade of the polish itself (for example, if you have green, tan or brown shoes and you use black polish on them, eventually, depending on leather, they will become rather dark or even fully black. You can't go back, I'm afraid. Regarding staining, if you used shoe polish before, you know it might be sticky if you touch it before it's set or absorbed and polished. They can stain your fingers or clothes if you don't let it set/dry or absorb/polish - depending which type of polish you use. Most shoe polishes nourish or/and give shoes a polished look while offering slight protection from the elements. However, if you need waterproof effect, you might want to look for a shoe product that has such properties. They usually come in form of thick, greasy, neutral shade and do decent job making your shoes waterproof. Perhaps you might find waterproof polish where you live. If you can't find neither, just use thick layer of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) let it sit, take off the excess and you should be good to go. Best of luck! Edit: If you just need to cover/blend in contrasting stitching you can use a marker in the same shade.

    Totally agree! Bright & bold, “dramatic”( I will never (🤘🏼😜) stop weaving a touch or two of “punk”into my outfits, even on my most “classic/elegant/timeless attire” days😉), is not only great fun, but if done right, it can look both “expensive” and elegant (as opposed to “cheap and tacky”😉). But I do feel that getting the wrong “hue” for your skin tone - especially with bright colours, as well as “settling” for certain types of reeeally synthetic fabric, that are often used for bright & bold clothes, can quickly take things from “dramatic” to “decidedly dodgy”. It’s not easy getting it “right”, especially when shopping online or in shops with bad lighting😏.

    That's something that I find about her video. The practicallity. Don't get me wrong, I like her videos and tips, and they actually help me tremendously to build my capsule wardrobe. However, her shoes recommendation is always a miss for me since we have different lifestyles and climates. I love my ballet flats and heels, but at the end of the day I will always opt for my trainers because they are more comfortable to wear 3 - 4 hours of walking and constantly have to move. And it will not ruin our feet. The examples on this video are not meant to wear when you have to rush to catch the earliest commute and stand all day in your workplace. I just wish that she incorporates it more and take it into consideration of her styling because someone in my job would also like to look stylish without missing the practicality. I hope you can understand what I mean since English is not my first language.

    I bought a pair of combat boots with laces and zips. I did it because I was tired of coming home and struggling to get my boots off. Getting them on wasn’t a walk in the park either. The leather is gorgeous too. (They cost an arm and a leg at net-a-Porter.) They style up with just about anything. On AND off in seconds, and so edgy. I’m not giving these up. I can see the attraction to a minimalist plain pair of Chelsea boots, but I’d get a classic style in brown. Other than that I love your videos Lydia. You’re really helping me with a number of style conundrums and this one has been helpful too.

    I’ve been watching deconstructing videos of famous makers. A better boot without the yellow stitching can be had for less money. You’re paying for the name…these are not your mother’s Doc Martins…which she probably still has from the 80s. I have a pair of Timberlands that I’ve had since the late 80s and the soles are flat but the upper is still great…still waterproof. The newer ones mostly made in China just don’t compare. This is true of Docs as well. Even the Made in England variety don’t compare.

    Thank you, Lydia. This kind of video is extremely informative to me. Sometimes when I am cleaning out my closet, I ask myself "Why did I purchase this?" It is so helpful to know what a quality is basic, so that you don't go out and waste your money on so many trends that you might not have thought was a trend at the time. Even some of the embellishments I am guilty of purchasing. I think I have a pair of dress shoes with a Diamonte square buckle on it, thank God they are black, and it is a more subtle dark stone on the toe. I like good quality clothing and am so over trend clothing. I feel better in neutrals and basics. But as I get older, I am interested in keeping modern (not younger) but it is so hard to know modern from trendy.

    Unfortunately if you are a size 42.5 or 43 you just don't have the luxury of choosing something that you like. You just have to put up with whatever you can find that fits you. Unfortunately more and more shops seem to have made the decision lately to only stock up to size 41. I love those Other Stories slingbacks, especially as they have a low heel. Unfortunately they only go up to size 41, despite OS stocking other styles in a 42. And as they are a pointed toe I'd probably need a 43. I'm so jealous of people that are able to buy shoes based on what they like! Luckily trainers are fashionable at the moment so I can live in mens trainers.

    I feel that your style is classic and timeless, which means that what you buy is an investment that will stand the test of time, saving money in the long run. It’s also ok to buy something trendy every now and again if you love it. Very useful advice in your video, enjoyed it.

    I have taken to Frye Harness boots….good arch support and lots of toe room. The black ones can go from garden to the theater…with a bit of shoe cream. And when looking down at your feet the toe design makes your feet look slim….and mine are not…Flintstone Feet….not Wilma but Fred.

    Your shoe examples and explanations are so helpful! I agreed with everything you said, but needed your help to know what details to avoid and what styles to look for. Shoes are especially difficult because comfort is a real issue for me. I find that my feet do best in quality shoes made with 100% leather. Synthetic linings make my feet sweat and they don’t have enough give. Please, please, please do more videos like this!

    Interesting ideas. My younger son bought me a pair of Docs for Christmas two years ago after I said I liked his (not platform soles). They have been perfect for the rainy west coast winters here in Canada. Four years ago my older son bought me black leather Van loafers, again great for our rainy fall and winter. In the spring and summer I wear a pink or black ballet flat with criss cross ankle detailing (I have skinny ankles). I don’t like heels of any kind so the ankle detail is nice. It all comes down to what works for your feet…and your climate 😊

    Love this style of video Lydia! You were clear these are simply your opinions about certain items, so I do not understand the negative comments and I hope it doesn’t put you off this type of video in the future. This is a style channel, not a political campaign one, you do not need to please all of the people all of the time 😂. I for one prefer honest opinions versus “nice” ones when it comes to style and the beauty of an opinion is I can consider it and still make my own mind up about my preference 🙌🏻❤️

    I loved this format. It is incredibly helpful to someone who shops second hand. I like learning about the little details. As someone who goes for a trendy piece and then wishes it looked more quiet luxury, this translates and shows the why. Could you please share your lipstick shade? I think it would be perfect for my daughter’s wedding.

    I had a feeling the dr.martens highlighted would be a little controversial for some haha BUT I decided to sell a few pairs of mine (the platform ones) as they have been in a box for a year, i try them on, create an outfit and then won’t go out in them.. but I like the look of them! Instead I’ve ordered a simple, plain leather pair of Chelsea boots from M&S after watching this and I feel better that the wardrobe is minimising and I’ll have a daily pair of Chelsea boots I won’t have to ‘work’ so hard to make work for me in my wardrobe x thank you Lydia

    Often times it seems I am the only one who lives in a place (Oulu Northern Finland) where the weather during Autums is cold (0-15 Celcius degrees) and rainy. I like loafers but most of those are far to flat to walk with in rain and sleet. Ballet flats and sling backs are downright ridiculous here.

    I have a pair of cowboy ankle boots in black leather and suede by U.S. designer Ann Mashburn. They are perfection for going to visit my parents on their farm and any other rural outings. There are times when we need to feel chic but look down to earth. Its a tricky line to walk but a fun challenge.
