Hi everyone, It's Justine.
You often ask me what I wear, what my style looks like.
So I filmed outfits for a typical week in my life, for you.
You'll see that I dress based on the agenda of the day.
It's very pragmatic.
And I couldn't film every day during one week so this video was actually filmed over
the course of two weeks.
That explains why here and there you will see some pretty summer-like outfits, because
the weather just kept getting better and better.
I filmed each outfit in a different location in Berlin, a place that I like.
So you will get impressions of the city at the same time.
Let's go.
Monday is my organization day.
I want to try to get all the little things on my to do list out of the way for the rest
of the week.
I try to have all of my meetings via video conference so I don't have to go anywhere.
I save time and can do more in one day.
On Monday, I want to be as comfortable as I only can, so I typically wear dark jeans
with stretch in them, so it's more comfortable, a knitted jersey top…
This one is great because the back is longer, and I have a long torso so I can be seated
and I don't feel the wind on my back between the top and the pants.
Then flats in which I can walk kilometers.
On top of that, if it was a bit colder than this, I would add a scarf, which would be
probably black or golden.
This outfit works for basically everyone.
You can just make variations in the length of the pants, and the cut, the shape of the
bottom, right?
You can do a bit skinny like I did or you can go wider and wider, or straight, depending
on what you prefer for your body type.
Typically here my pants are seven eighths, they're not full length.
It's something that makes your leg appear a bit shorter and my legs, I find them short
already, so smarter to elongate the legs would be to go full length or add heels, but on
Mondays I really just want to wear my flats.
In terms of color palette it's very minimal.
Navy blue and black so to pimp that up a little bit I added a golden necklace, a statement,
one that you notice, and then golden shoes.
They also catch the sunlight so nicely so they really shine when it's sunny outside.
Tuesday is probably the day of the week when I want and need to look good.
Because I'm filming videos for you, because I'm taking pictures for my Instagram, because
I'm giving interviews…
There are several reasons why I will be recorded on Tuesdays, so I want to make an effort and
I enjoy styling myself up a little bit but it's spring, so I want to be casual and
relaxed at the same time.
This Tuesday I was wearing those navy blue, woven, very lightweight pants with a belt
so it looks chic, it's not like I'm wearing pyjama pants, or too casual jersey trousers;
that's woven.
Then a knitted top.
That's a staple.
You can own it in 5 different colors.
You can layer whatever you want on top.
It's very practical.
Cardigan or anything if it gets cooler.
Then I was wearing minimal white stylish sandals, which I love.
This will be flattering on you if you have regular or maybe rather narrow hips.
If your hips are your widest point, if you're a pear, like me, then you need to feel comfortable
drawing attention to that area, because the fabric is so light and it's just one layer;
you don't have pockets or seams or anything.
So, the fabric really moves with you.
You need to be comfortable showing that part of you.
And also, when I wear these pants, there are no pockets at the back, so before I leave
the house I always do a mirror check from the back to make sure I don't show an underwear
line.
In terms of color palette, it's blue on blue on white, so it's very harmonious to
the eye.
It's actually monochromatic.
It's cool, but it still gives a clear impression of spring.
Wednesday is my business day, my formal day, my most dressed-up day of the week.
That black tutu skirt makes your legs appear thinner, and your waist as well because it
adds so much volume around the hips.
It also turns when you turn, which I love, and the texture is great too because it's
so much fabric layered.
I love a tutu skirt, long or short.
With this one I wore a silk top, and a blazer on top, because it was pretty cool on that
day and a blazer styles anything up anyways.
This type of silhouette is great to accentuate your hips.
It makes my legs appear a bit shorter because I'm wearing it low-waist to try to cover
up a little bit because I'm tall.
So I paired that with heels.
But it would actually work with flats as well.
In terms of color palettes, I tried something.
You know I don't wear orange.
Actually, this is not orange.
I don't know if you see it right, depending on your screen, but it's a warm brown so
it's pretty close to orange and that's in the risky zone for me.
It makes me look very pale.
So what I did to make it work is that I broke it.
I toned it down with a navy, a neutral for me, a very cool color.
Navy jacket on top, and I kept it very far away from my face.
Right?
Because otherwise it clashes.
And next to my face the color that you see is actually the red of the lipstick.
So technically, I'm wearing orange, which I never do, and I combine orange and red in
the same outfit.
Whew!
But I think it works.
Thursday is different every week.
On that Thursday, I felt like wearing black and I was organizing and moving things in
my studio so I wanted to feel comfortable.
I went for all knits.
The dress and the leggings, everything is stretchy as hell.
The dress is very short; it's not one that I would wear without leggings or pants underneath.
I would feel completely naked.
I would probably be, even standing.
But this way, I feel it's pretty chic.
It exploits the full length of my leg, which is always good.
I paired that with a white belt, turning twice around my waist.
It's a different texture, a different way of shining with the light.
It helps mark the waist.
It pimps up everything, even though it's black on black.
This outfit makes you look long and lean, because it's all in one color.
Especially if you leave your hair open, and you stretch down everything, as I did.
And especially, especially if you add platform sandals.
You're just adding pure height.
I like to wear black on black, I don't mind, but you could have used that belt otherwise
to set an accent of color, maybe match the belt with the shoes color-wise.
My shoes are very colorful so it's not like I'm wearing all black after all.
It feels like spring and it feels like a good mood.
If I have a second day full of meetings during a week, I will make sure that it's on a
Friday and group everything on a Friday.
There I was very close to a place where you can still see a part of the Wall of Berlin,
so that's what you see here, together with the look.
The wall is exactly where it was standing, and the blue sky is a bonus.
I was wearing a T-shirt and a skirt by my label, Justine Leconte, paired with a beige
cardigan, because, you know, in spring, it's cold, it's warm, it's cold, it's warm.
It changes fifteen times within one day.
So layering is always a good option.
Also, the top, the T-shirt is very lightweight, silky and flown, while the skirt is a heavier,
Jacquard fabric.
So it weighs more and it will stay in place.
I think it always looks very chic when the top and the bottom have different weights.
Because then they move differently with you, which you can see very well because it was
super windy on that day.
A long cardigan, open like this, will make you look longer, which is an effect I look
for, but I still don't want it to be longer, to fall longer than the hem of the skirt,
because I still want to maintain that spring feeling, and free up my legs.
It's again a very harmonious color palette.
You know light colors attract sunlight and reflect it around you a lot better than dark
colors, so after winter I want to catch and reflect all the light I can.
I'm naturally attracted to lighter colors.
I try not to work on Saturday.
But I will be out and about running errands, or visiting a museum or a gallery.
There are many great, great galleries and museums in the street where we shot that look,
Auguststrasse.
If you get a chance to visit Berlin, have a look there; it's one of my favorite streets
in the entire city.
Here, I was wearing a basic T-shirt, black, super simple.
That's another staple for your wardrobe.
And I pimped that up a little bit with the necklace, with a pendant that I designed,
and then a cool skirt.
This one is woven, it has a huge waistband.
It's great to highlight your waist, because of the cut of it, because you have so much
space and fabric here around the natural waist.
And the color helps increase the effect.
It's very comfortable, even though it's woven, so it's not stretchy, because it's
almost like a peg skirt.
You have so much extra space, because of those folds around the hips, so it's extremely
comfortable; it gives me a completely different silhouette for a change.
You see that from the side very well.
Can we talk about the color palette?
Did you notice that the skirt and the shoes have the same three colors.
Very unlikely to happen.
I was quite happy when I found this skirt, given that I had the shoes first.
When I saw this skirt, I jumped on it.
And then there's no outfit for Sunday.
Sunday is a day where I don't care about the way I look.
It's my break.
I will go for a brunch and then I will start replying to your comments when the new video
goes live, so right now, I'm commenting if you want to comment something.
And I also prepare topics for future videos, organize my to-do list for the following week,
do some planning, etc.
But mostly, Sunday is YouTube day.
Thumbs up if you enjoyed this video.
Thank you very much!
It was definitely fun to film at least; I hope you enjoyed that.
