    Workwear is a hit again and we need a refresher course on what makes the style so important and why so many are finally going back to normal. Reggie breaks down the style, it's nuances, and hybrid concepts along with brands that do the job when it comes to fashion's toughest genre.

    I’ve been a workwear fan for a while. I like the idea of buying high quality pieces that get better with age, which is great, since I tend to wear whatever I like to death. Haha. While I like the old tried and true workwear brands, I’m more into the newer brands that pay homage to classic workwear. I’m a huge fan of Freeman, a brand and shop based here, in Seattle. Freeman, and another place called Blue Owl Workshop, are my go to shops in town, apart from thrifting and flea markets.

    I think it helps to look at what is actually worn by workers.

(Funny enough i haven't seen people pull this one for fashion yet) i think I'd even go a bit into the street style with it by wearih a simple but THICC Supreme or 90-00' Champion hoodie / sweater with some Retro or Premium Jordans.

    Reggie thanks so much for doing this. I have great appreciating for your almost slogan of fashion is what you want to to wear for self expression, and it was awkward for me to ask "how do I dress this certain way" as it's almost opposite of what you're trying to teach. These kind of videos still engrain the your slogan but with a template people can go off of what makes, in this scenario, workwear. I like the brands chosen and I hope people here are able to still use their own creativity and to intentionally make their own workwear outfits. Please do more of these.
    For the next video I would love for you to discuss high end fashion. I'm not too well versed but I want to understand the guidelines of luxury goods such as LV for example and how to use what they try to do to dress. Surely these Chinese students with batman credit cards, wearing the same hype is not what it's about.

    Hey Reggie and The Casual family. I’ve recently begun doing some research into the whole Hiking subculture of street style. I’m aware that this has been a wave that resurfaced in Japan back in 2018, but I see the trend has gained even more traction internationally since 2019. Maybe a future video can dive more into this? I’ve started gathering some labels that I think would help any future (Hypebeast) outdoorsman: Patagonia, Columbia, Nike ACG/Hike, Carhartt WIP, to name a few. If anyone wants to share, feel free. I’m friendly.

    Great guide! BUT you must mention Red Wing boots in this list as well. They're essential in the workwear style.

    No mention of Ben E. Davis? I was at a vintage shop in Japantown San Francisco and they had all exclusively Japanese line for Ben E. Davis! And I didn’t even know Ben E. Davis was based in San Francisco, so they definitely had the hookup!

    I’ve been sporting work/military wear for the better part of a decade. It is easily the most practical style to adapt. It’s unpretentious and functional. You can’t ask for much more than that. Now, I have to figure out how to continue looking like myself without being viewed as a trend hopper. First world problems lol
