To mee you are the first to say expensive is the opposite of vulgar and not of cheap. So what we concider expesive reflects our set of mind, not our purse. Having this in mind it is easier to make descisions.

Being a fiber artist and seamstress also helps me in my overall look since I can make clothing for myself that fits my body while giving the look I want. The back "pinch" is called darting, a way to create a more fitted look. So my tip is to layer textures: Wool coats have a woven suiting fabric that is structured and feel very stiff and dense (replacing a lining is also a fun way to add in some of your own personal tastes). Softer and more lofty fabrics such as cashmere and angora are great near the skin and more air = more warmth. A softened linen (has gone though many washes) or cotton under garment works to wick moisture and help with air circulation so this is great right on the skin. Silk is a protein and will also keep you warm, so is great near the skin or part of a layered look. My favorite silk fabric for cooler weather is silk noil (made with short fibers not long). It looks and acts like cotton or hemp but helps hold heat better.

I really love your little illustration showing the lines of the outfits (you did this in previous videos, too). I never thought about "more structure" = more expensive looking. But when I compare how I feel in a tailored coat versus a handknitted woolen cape (I love both!), it makes so much sense.

For the first point: when I was 16 I bought a long black wool coat at H&M on Boxing Day. (December 26 here in Canada is often spent shopping for good deals; stores take that day to clear out old inventory). It was from a previous year's collection and it was the last one in stock -- I got it 80% off. I'm 30 now and it's still my go-to winter coat. The wool has moulded to my body shape and I still get compliments on it! I just change the buttons every few years to keep it in style. And I might have a tailor replace the cheap lining with something more warm and durable.

I have to add a comment here... There are lovely options of very good quality clothes on second hand market, so you don't have to spend so much money on good quality clothes... It's worth buying, but there are other ways... And its better for the planet!!

Agreed, 20-30 years ago you didn't have the kind of second-hand stores that you have now, these days you have a lot of high-brand second-hand clothing stores. I bought a lot of expensive clothing there over the years: Jimmy Choo bags, expensive suede boots, lots and lots of coats. They are as expensive as the new clothes from a cheap store, but often last much longer because the quality is often still extremely good! I always look up stores like these because they're interesting to shop in, you never know what you get since the contents switch up so often. But there are also a lot of fake stores that just say "vintage" and don't sell anything from the expensive brands.

Totally agree, especially for classic organic fabric pieces. I’ve found many pure cotton, silk, linen and cashmere pieces at way cheaper prices than buying full price. One day I found 4 cashmere sweaters for under $10 each at a thrift store. Any one of them would have been easily close to $100 at a department store.

I "invested" in a CK coat over ten years ago on sale, of course, and it still looks great. I once had a forest green cashmere coat in the 1970s made in an atelier in Seoul but gave it to my friend when I left South Korea. Still find of kicking myself for that. 😅

I agree wholeheartedly with your love of wool. However, it’s usually just too itch-producing for me… except merino wool, usually. I do like a cotton sweater, but it doesn’t have the richness of wool. Lately, I’ve bought sweaters made of cotton and modal (natural) with a bit of polyester or acrylic or even wool thrown in. Very comfy, but not as long-lived as wool. I find that wool coats need to be at least 70% wool to be good quality. I have to wear a scarf to protect against itchiness, though. Regarding “earthy” tones. All one has to do is look at “seasonal” colour charts and find the earthy shades that complement one’s colouring. No biggie. Although this could be a good topic for a future video? Thank you very much for your wonderful videos!

I use my own shampoo or shower gel for wool and silk. If it works for my human hair, it wil work for other animal hair... And i wash them by hand. wool does not like much friction so i just solve the shampoo in warm water, soak the sweater, let it sit there for a couple of hours, or over nihgt. then do some handwash and rinse with clean water until it gehts clean. Basically i treat my wool cloths like my hair...

I’m 72 and love your videos and excellent advice. My father was a European trained tailor . Growing up I always had “bespoke “ clothes that were tailored for my body . I hated it 🤣🤣as wanted what others my age were wearing . Now looking back at photos I can see how well my clothes hung on me . Through helping him in his shop I gained so much knowledge on how clothes should fit and how to shop for quality vs “trendy “. I miss him and I sure he would be shocked on what the Walmarts of the world offer. My husband also benefited from my fathers talent and had several custom made suits . It is now a dying art .

I wash my cashmere in the washing machine at 20°C. I put the spin at 400, and I put the sweaters inside-out and also inside of a laundry net. Then I never use softener as well. Then I let it dry flat on the drying rack (not hanging) 😊♥️

I wash my wool sweaters or cardigans by hand. As most of my winter wool clothes are quite chunky and heavy, it would take ages to dry or it would be damaged a lot sooner if spin it in washing machine. So to remove as much water from it as possible I do the towel trick. Put the thickest towel on the ground, lay gently squezed but still very wet sweater on top of it nicely and roll towel with the garment together, then just press this roll so the towel absorbs most of the water. I think it helps a lot.

I found the coat suggestions to be most helpful, Thank you. I appreciate your suggestions for vegan leather bags. I have a simple cork tote, made in Portugal, bought on my last trip to Europe. Thoughts on using that as my handbag? Also I have a vintage (late 60s) cream Austrian made wool cape (handed down from my mother), can I use that as my coat? or should I use for special occasions only? Thank you so much for your beautiful videos, I always find them so informative.
