Today I'm sharing some out of date Outfit formulas that you need to avoid But don't worry I've got you back Because I'm sharing some very Fashionable options to wear instead Hi I'm Leone and welcome to my channel Now today's episode is inspired by the Lovely Shay Whitney she recently created A video on her Channel with a very Similar theme and I was inspired by it There were a few things that she Mentioned there that I didn't quite Agree with but that's the beauty of Fashion we are not all on the same page But we can take from these types of Videos what works for us and leave Behind the rest and that's exactly what I did with Shay's video but it did Inspire me to create my own video Featuring some outfit formulas that I Really do believe are out of date and we Can just do a little better anyway if You don't agree with some of these ideas I would love to hear about it in the Comments below and I know that there is One that's going to Really create a bit of a stir and let's Talk about in the that one in the Comments below as well but I know that You're not all going to agree with one That I am going to bring up but I am Nevertheless going to bring it up anyway But anyway let's get get on with these Outfit formulas that I definitely think
We need to change now first up I think We need to move away from the whole cut Out Trend now I get it I've actually Even worn cutouts and there is mirror And cutouts and that you can show off Parts of your body that are your Favorite Parts I've worn cut out shirts And blouses that have cutouts at the Shoulders because I actually like my Shoulders but I do think it's time that We look a little bit more long-term About our fashion options and what I Would suggest wearing instead of cutouts Is looking at investing in layering Pieces to me layering is a more Timeless Way to dress it's also more versatile And it's a really easy way to just Update outfits create outfits that are Comfortable that are relevant for the Climate that you live in without making Such a statement with a cut out piece Now the the other thing that I do find With cutouts is that they're very much a Summer piece so it means that you can Only wear that item in a particular type Of climate or on a summery day so that's Another reason why I'm a little bit Against the whole cut out Trend because I just feel that it very much dictates a Time of year that that piece is wearable And for me I like to have more longevity To my pieces and more versatility as Well so I would definitely swap out some Of the cut out pieces and that sort of
Cut out trend for pieces that are Lightweight yeah different weights and Different textures that are going to be Great for long-term layering okay I Think our days of wearing puffy Overblown size sleeves are over as well And I've seen a lot of outfit formulas Pairing these puffy sleeves back with More fitted pants and skirts and while The balance of proportion Works in an Outfit like that I do think the puffy Overblown sleeves have just seen better Days I do think that they tend to Obviously create more size and that's Why you need that juxtaposition of a More fitted piece to team with them but I do think there there are other options That are a little more Fashionable a little more modern and Just more stylish so what I would Suggest swapping out some of these Super-sized sleeves for is a slight Ruffled sleeve a capped sleeve I also Think a beautiful button-down shirt is a Good option as well because you can roll Up the sleeves you can wear it slightly Oversized if you prefer that little bit Of extra room there are options that are Sophisticated stylish and are not going To look like you are chasing a trend now One thing that never goes out of style In my opinion is comfort and also Quality quality never goes out of style And that leads me on to today's sponsor

Swapping them out for for a chunky style Loafer or a chunky style boot now this Doesn't have to be super chunky but the Difference is the boot will move with Your foot and you'll just have more Ability to walk a little better and walk A little more normal where your foot Actually moves as opposed to clumping Along in a platform I think we need to Move aside from platforms and Reintroduce something that is a little Bit weighty like a slightly chunky sole They don't have to be super chunky but Something with a little bit of weight But also that movement as well now one Of the big trends this year is maxi Skirts all sorts of maxi skirts from Pretty sort of florals pleated maxi Skirts to even denim Maxis and what I Would suggest is not falling into the Trap of bringing out those maxi skirts With high slits now I talked about these On my channel a couple of years ago and They were trending and very much a Happening thing but I do think that they Tend to look a little dated and not Quite as stylish and modern as just a Straight maxi skirt without the slits I Think the only exception here is a denim Maxi where a split can actually help to Just give the skirt a little bit more Movement and obviously denim can be Quite heavy and and stiff so the split Just gives that let's give it a little
Bit more movement but the denim skirt in My opinion is the only exception to this Rule but otherwise I would move aside Maxi skirts with those High splits in Them and just opt for a plain Maxi it's Going to be more Timeless it's Definitely going to be more versatile And a piece that you can easily dress up Or wear more casually the splits tend to Make the Maxis look a little bit more Evening-like and less able to create a Stylish outfit okay now this one is Really going to get me in trouble Because I know a lot of you love animal Prints but what I am suggesting is that We move away from animal prints and Introduce a fabric that's just a little Bit more modern and that is metallics Now I know a lot of you will be up in Arms hearing this because you do Consider animal prints as a classic or As a neutral and I do get that but I Tend to think we have just had so many Animal print it's featuring in the last Few years that they're almost a little Overexposed and they've just become a Little bit too cheap looking in my Opinion and I know that I'm going to Come under Fire for that I think that There are some animal prints that are Subdued and stylish but you have to work Hard to actually find those prints now What I am suggesting is just opting for A little metallic detailing or a little
Bit of Shimmer or accents of metallic as Opposed to top to toe animal prints Which I have seen a lot of in the last Few years so again I'm not saying Completely get rid of them but maybe Give them a break for a little while They have been Overexposed and it's time To make a few tweaks to your outfits Just to give them a little bit more of a Modern Edge now this one's going to be a Little bit contentious as well but for Me I am going to be swapping out crop Tops and instead of wearing crop tops That just just can be quite tricky to Incorporate into outfits what I am going To be suggesting instead is simple Button-down shirts now over the last few Years we have seen quite a lot of Oversized man style boyfriend kind of Shirts now I'm not suggesting that that Look is going to work for everyone but Bringing back a classic shirt as I Mentioned earlier is a great way to Incorporate a versatile piece into your Lineup and as I said crop tops need a Whole lot more work to create outfits so I am suggesting swapping out crop tops For classic button-down shirts instead Now this next one is going to be Interesting as well but I do think it Makes sense and that is swapping out Leather Blazers or leather look Blazers Vegan leather Blazers for a classic Motor style leather jacket and all vegan
Leather pleather whatever your choices But I do think if you're looking for a Wardrobe that is more Timeless and more Classic you can never go past that Classic Moto style jacket now we'll Always see different variations and I Love seeing different fabrics and Textures used in classic pieces like the Leather and pleather Blazers but if you Are looking for more of a Timeless Wardrobe and options that you will be Able to wear for years and years to come I would definitely suggest moving out The the leather look Blazers and just Sticking with something that is more Timeless which is in my opinion a Classic motorbike style jacket now last But not least there's been a lot Happening in the accessories realm and In particular one of my absolute pet Hates is long line pendant style Necklaces now I get why stylists have Been offering this as an option for Women who perhaps want to lengthen their Torso oh and perhaps detract from a Fuller bust but in my opinion they just Never particularly work these long line Pennants look old-fashioned and if you Do have a fuller bust they fall Awkwardly down the middle of your bust So they're not a good option but what is Happening and what I think makes far More sense is if you like Fine Jewelry Then opt for fine jewelry that is
Layered so perhaps layer a couple of Fine necklaces together and if you don't Really like Fine Jewelry there are some Gorgeous chunkier statement necklaces That are happening as well that are Again they're Timeless they're really Wearable they're going to create a nice Style statement but without kind of Taking over and looking old-fashioned so Swap out those you know the ones I mean Those long pendants that generally have A big gem in them with metal tassels I Just think that their day has absolutely Come and passed and we need to move them Out now I'm sure you'll have mixed Opinions on some of the trends that I've Talked about in today's episode but if You'd like to see the most wearable Fashion trends that are going to be huge This year then click or tap on the Screen here and I will see you there
