All my homies hate consumer capitalism 💯
Bro u into keith too huh
@@trinhquoccuong599 just say weed 😭
Absolutely brother 🤝
W take
it’s called corporatism, not “consumer capitalism”🤓
I think fashion was inevitably bound to become over-consumed, just Tik Tok sped that process up x10. I’m just thankful that I experienced my “fashion journey” and now, years later, I’m comfortable with where I’m at as far as style goes.
Tiktok speeds the process for bigger consumption with other things as well , tiktok sneaker boom & car community which I both consumed before tiktok gave them bigger exposure
@@miggso5462 no kidding lmao i'll never be able to afford my dream cars from the tiktok popularity
Same, I'm very picky in what kind of stuff I'm buying. I only buy something that can complement my other pieces in my closet, and I only have 3 different outers, pants, 2 different shoes that I always alternates whenever I go outside (although I have tons of t shirt because I always change them every day).
I will never understand how people could over indulge themselves into buying new clothes.
People are taking fashion way too seriously now just to flex on each other, fashion is fun and a way for me to express MYSELF and imma keep it that way.
It's almost like a costume contest... every day. I'd rather not participate.
@@zhenren9703 nah bro it’s like loading up into a four stack when I go out in public fully ricked out…haha…credit card declined at the grocery store…help me
One positive thing about being broke is you have to really think whether you want the item or not . There were so many trends i was absolutely convinced I needed but by the time I had extra cash to spend I instantly forgot about them.
Same here I'm started to get into my own style now
i bought a lot of clothes a while ago and gained a lot of weight since then, so i didn't fit into them. I'm currently losing weight and am revisiting my old wardrobe to see what i can wear again and a lot of the clothes i got back when i was slimmer are just ugly now. i chased after a few trends that i didn't think would get dated so fast, but here i am with some clothes that look out of fashion but haven't been worn once. it made me rethink how i choose to clothe myself and now I'm going for my timeless pieces and relying on shoes to "keep up" with the trend. i wear them out quickly so it's better i spend a year with a pair of what was popular then move onto the next thing.
Idc, people that never installed TikTok deserve bragging rights
Fr, that should be whole new level of flex
Never downloaded it 💯 instead my brain rots through CZcams shorts
CZcams shorts and Instagram reels got me in choke hold unfortunately
Better than tiktok, i feel like that shits more addictive than crack
I didn’t
The fact that Tik Tok is so fast and people are pushed to posting 3 videos a day (instead like one video a week on youtube or like 2/3 photos a week on instagram) forces fashion to be so fast and to top or reinvent what's the most popular thing at the moment. Tik Tok fashion is just a giant boiling pot.
That’s a really good metaphor
That hopefully will evaporate soon.
Literally the concept of "Fast fashion" lmao
"wired apple headphones". One day having them is being broke, the next its looked at as "fashionable". What a world we live in.
Something I've found interesting is that, especially on tiktok, mass amounts of clothing are being used to substitute a personal style. You do not need a personal style if you can dress in every way under the sun. And in many ways I think this ties in to alienation from the actual clothes making process. I've found is that once you start making your own clothing, the impulse to buy clothes immediately plummets and it essentially forces a personal style through necessity, i.e. 'what the fuck am I actually making'. This has an added benefit of being able to personalize your wardrobe to *your* wants and needs, not the wants of social media because once you spend all that time designing the piece, making pattern, sourcing the fabric(s), and then actually sewing it, you are going to start prioritizing real quick. It essentially slows down your wheel of fashion trends turnover. For example, I still have an unfinished crochet sweater vest that I'm trying to finish up from back when it was 'trendy' in 2020, is it a bit out of style? Maybe but damn I made it, it's in pretty good quality, I am going to wear it.
Now am I saying that everyone needs to start sewing their entire wardrobe asap? No that shit takes a while and we got things to do and bills to pay. But what I am saying is to essentially reacquaint yourself with the actual process of making clothing, whether it's by adding some details to a ready made piece or just watching some sewing tutorials (just be aware that fast fashion has it's claws in the sewing community as well but that also relates to productivity and giving the algorithm what it wants in order to stay relevant and paid)
i really like this take a lot bc i’ve definitely been feeling more in tune with myself and my style after i learned how to fix/make my own clothes. im still influenced by trends ofc but i’ve been learning how to make trendy clothes, like leg/arm warmers and crochet, and it’s really nice bc i’ve developed like a special connection to the garment where i’m confident i’ll still treasure and wear it even if it “falls out of style”. also it’s just more personally rewarding when you make ur own clothes
@@lalalala-vx6xi u can probably sell them too
as a metal fan i make a lot of band tees , posters , patches etc by myself and i think its amazing how i can turn a plain white tee shirt into something new ! im also learning to crochet which also helps me relax. making my own clothes is one of the best choices ive made in my life, i cant recommend it enough. its a great way to go against consumerism and fast fashion by upcycling what you already have :)
@@Chappelroanfanfavourite band?
This video speaks to me so much Frl. Anytime I go on TikTok I feel like I dress bad I don’t have enough money for fashion. This simply isn’t the case I’m probably more into fashion then 99% of the world except that niche 1% I probably have spent a lot more money on my closet then most of the world as well. When I walk outside I rarely see people wearing the stuff I see on there I’m not even talking about the crazy fits I’m talking about even more generic stuff like ramones seen maybe 2-3 pairs irl ever.
I feel that, I remember I was just talking about ald new balances like everyone and their mom had them. None of my friends knew what I was talking about at the time (about a year ago) and I realized how I just expected everyone to be hyper consuming TikTok fashion
@@RawrJaayZ yeah exactly we live on a bubble online and we think it’s the whole world. In reality everyone lives in their own internet bubbles and we have no idea what they are into or what they think is basic.
I'm always look good because i live in Jamaica we don't wear fashionable clothes so when i wear all my clothes that are hand me downs and style them , i look great and I'm more fashionable than most guys here . I don't have to try hard to look good, thankfully ☺️.
The other thing too is a lot of these young fashion influencers on social media get shit from popping / upcoming brands for free. I keep that in mind when I'm stressing about buying shit and feeling broke.
Bros kinda like a fashion philosopher these days and I love it
ive had tiktok deleted for about a month now, my life has genuinely become a lot better, more than i expected. I feel less judgemental and more aware and surprise, surprise - more in the moment.
I go to school in NYC, tiktok definitely has a chokehold on almost everyone here and their fashion ideas.
Your video is definitely on point and i hope you guys both spread more wisdom on this!
agree 100%! a lot more focused & present too
me too, my brain feels happier
Yes tiktok was the worst I’ve felt this same way. It’s been very freeing
Man, I love your content but I must say this might be my favourite video of yours yet. I also noticed how insecure tiktok or for that matter all social media platforms have made me. I’ve drastically reduced my social media consumption and kinda feel like i can be myself again without judging/hating myself constantly.
Now notice that with advertising and then all social norms created from power relations etc etc. You’ll see that you are manipulated to behave, dress etc by many levels not just tiktok
This is so true
Deadass, which is why I never post anything anymore because I just know ppl will be judging every little thing
the only good side to tiktok pushing trendy items is that you can take advantage of it and sell carhartt carpenters for 130+
As an accessory designer I agree. I'm paying my college loan with this trends ✨🤑🤑🤑👌🌸✨💖
Facts I also resell trendy clothes lol I don't wear fashionable clothing
I was raised in Oklahoma, where carhartt was a staple clothing of farmers in the winter. Now its a mainstream fashion symbol... I'm like wtf? Gross.
@@zhenren9703 ngl tho their bags are pretty functional :)
Man the fashion… as someone who is practically a historian when it comes to vintage fashion. I wanna shoot my brains out when I see someone on tik Tok wear a white shirt and light blue jeans and call it ✨90s✨
lmaooo or they call it greaser
If you feel that deep about something you see on the internet...Maybe you should seek help.
@@swordfish3720maybe you should take ur own advice
@@bam_bino__ wow…. Must’ve took a lot of mental strain to come up with that. When did I ever claim I’d like to shoot myself in the head because someone doesn’t label something they way I want them to?
One of the things I’ve noticed since getting into fashion is that the more I buy the less satisfied I am with what I’ve got.
that‘s what i needed rn. ever since i downloded tiktok again i felt like my style was going in a different direction also influenced by tiktok. and i am very insecure about that and myself and i was trying to figure out why. i think you got a point right here thanks
this video is the exact reason why i dnt use tiktok and just stick to my own style , obviously i get inspo from some "influencers" but i think its cool to see some of their fits and help motivate me to improve my own confidence. great vid tho
Right? I can relate a lot. I only follow one influencer for minimalism and it's just for inspo, not to guide how my wardrobe is supposed to be.
To be fair I have been feeling like this about fashion for the past couple months. I've lost over 35kgs in the past 2 years and so I had to change my clothes cuz they were too big for me lol so last year I went on a mini "haul" from fashions like h&m, pull&bear, reserved because yea their price is very convenient for people who can't afford better clothes. After a while after getting those clothes from those fast fashion brands I've realized that my wardrobe was too full with too many of the same stuff( i've bought mostly simple colored shirts and hoodies and jeans which is sort of my fault lol i guess???) and I've come to the realization that I should better start saving up money, even tho its a big challenge for me cuz I like to treat myself how often as I can "sadly", I'm saving up enough to buy quality clothes each few months or a few times per year depending on what I find from the stores in my city because I live in Romania and the shippment cost would be too much for me to handle. So lesson learned, save up the money to ONE good quality clothing item(pair of jeans,shoes,jacket,whatever) than rather buy 3-5 t-shirts and hoodies that their quality will disappear in a few weeks.
You could thrift good quality pieces my guy
@@ini.og1 oh yea true i am still thinking about this from time to time but the only issue i see is that in my country a lot of thrift stores have clothes in sizes that are way too big for me lol, like L-XXL and jeans that are usually higher than 36 inch in size. I guess i have to keep trying because I'll be lucky enough to find some clothes that fit me
Yep this why i only buy expensive t shirts now the quality is noticeably different
im from romania too, i m average size and with enough luck i found some nice pieces at different thrift stores ( i live in a smaller city too) i got lucky and flund a pair of beige cargos my size and paid 1 leu for them. also outlets tend to have smaller sizes too
As an artists, going on TikTok and seeing these professional artists is inspiring, yet really intimidating and gives me lots of insecurity in my own art.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. The oversaturation of fashion related content combined with the pressure to wear a different and interesting outfit every day has made ma want to put together a single perfect work/school outfit that I could just wear every day. This would eliminate the stress I feel every morning when I need to decide what to wear.
Thank you for making this great video!
I limit myself to one piece a month and I try to buy less than that if I can help it. I have like almost 20 pairs of shoes, I don't need to keep buying them. Consumption WILL NOT fill the void!
it might
It’s weird fashion was spread by what celebrities wore during their red carpet walk or what they wore when MTV got a picture of them, but now we’ve been setting the fashion trends and celebrities are copying them but then it creates a cycle of what I said before and it’s causing fast fashion to become faster than ever before and then causes more people to “stuff their face” with whatever is being put in front of them, rather than people finding what they really like and finding what suits them better
A classic menswear wardrobe solves this problem. Suits, overcoats, odd trousers/sports coats - timeless 😊
I feel so heard. You just put on video everything I’ve felt about Tiktok for a long time! Actually hearing someone say ‘you dont have to dress like a runway model every day’ sounds so simple, yet it really hit me. Thanks for putting this together, great video 😊
Just because your feed shows everyone dressed to the max doesn’t mean they dress like that 24/7. I’d suggest not getting on TikTok as much, being exposed to so much content that’s pushed on you can lead to insecurity or depression.
Good video! As someone that has 0 social media left (CZcams doesn’t count) and never having tik tok.
I can’t help but feel it’s not that tik tok is making us more stupid. Majority of mind numbing vapid people have always existed in quantity. It’s just that tik tok brings these people to light. These people just have a voice now which they never had. Almost everyone is some type of mini celebrity.
So rather than lose hope in humanity just think they have always been around and all you need to do to live life like how it was is deactivate all social media and just live.
Life has been slower ever since, it’s been over a year now. Peaceful, quiet and you just kind of stop caring what’s everyone else is doing. You dress in a LITERAL SENSe for yourself and no one else. Because there’s no one going to see you besides everyday people in your town. It’s a liberating feeling.
DESTROY SOCIAL MEDIA AND LIVE REAL LIFE! I advocate ! DOWN WITH CORPORATE CAPITALISM AND IMPERIALSIM!!!
thank you i feel this massive rush of everyone getting into fashion is ruining it due to trends being faster and faster
Finally someone that talk about this, I uninstalled tiktok because the anxiety these tiktoks made me feel. And what is the worst thing about this type of content that is in the internet (especially tiktok) is that they make you think that is useful information. Like if you watch this you are going to dress well and feel better about you wardrobe. That is pure shit. Best decision of my life uninstalling that shitty app.
Your story about losing your glasses at the end really resonated with me 😢
this couldn’t have come at a better time for me lmfao
great video as always man
Honestly the best fashion video I've seen on CZcams in like a year+. Very excited for future content. I'm a reformed JQ hater
I really love your content man, Another great video!!!
I have some cool cloths that I wear from time to time but I also have some causal basics like Gildan hoodies. I noticed for the most of the time I tend to wear Gildan instead of my expensive cloths. I just throw them on and don’t really care if they get dirty or stolen or whatever
'minimalist' and 'wearable' are antonyms for me (except when it comes to jewelry), but the overall point you're making is sound. I love my impulse purchases, but only about half of them stick around after I make them, and only because they go well with the long-term-desire-turned-reality purchases. The more you lean on what people online tell you, the more likely you are to regret what you end up buying. Like, I do not live the kind of life where I want to put on a blazer, or a white shirt of any description; every time I pick them up to have a more 'complete' wardrobe, they sit in the closet.
deleting tiktok and instagram is one of the best choices i've made. i rarely even know what's trending and i mostly just buy pre owned clothing i find interesting
One thing we viewers of fashion social media content often forget is that these people online do this fashion for a living. They are „content creators“ and therefore produce as much content as possible. We often fall into the trap of relatability, because they seem to live a normal life like we do. So we assume that we „normal“ people should buy these huge amount of clothes aswell. Social media really pretends that this is the standard and you have to achieve this.
I tried to be a social media influencer back in 2017 for a year with posting a picture every single day and its crazy what amount of clothes you need to have to even achieve this. I mostly bought fast fashion clothes and after a photoshoot I sent them back. 😵💫
Great video! ✌️🔥 This thing is so obviously but people need to actively hear it, to understand the huge psychological impact and general interests of capitalsm and the fast fashion industry.
I just put down my phone, walk outside and I feel unique again
the question of safety is really important: i’m an amab person who likes dressing fem but i live in an unsafe neighborhood and seeing folks dressing freely creates this dysphoria of how i want to dress and how i actually can
wtf are you saying bro?
@@twitmeat3730 just some gay shit
On 2005 some harajuku trends and emo scene started on my City (Santiago de Chile) and lots of people lived in pretty bad neighborhoods. A way for them to do it was carrying the clothes, makeup, hairspray into their backpacks... Arriving to the center of the city and find a bathroom to change into and finishing their style. Then they would gather outside of the building where most popular stores were located. Just to chat about music, clothes, life... Uniforms and dresscodes at schools were really strict so hair extensions, make up and color hair spray were really popular, mini flat iron were required to achieve the messy hairstyle.
Safety first. Wear a hoodie and jeans on top and you can add the rest on the bus/train. Arriving you find a bathroom and do your hair and makeup. Women's bathroom have better mirrors and light, but men's bathroom have more toilet paper and soap. This kind of modus operandi isn't new, most people on harajuku did it this way since the 90's.
It may sound like a costume and not a genuine style but it's safer, contact some friends and go together to have some fun, eat ice cream, have a picnic, go window shopping, to the library or to take some pictures.
why is others dressing freely affecting you? get therapy
@@popteengirl this is true
with the fashion thing, a good thing to do is be anxious, if you go outside with all that shit on, people are gonna look at you and laugh and talk about you behind ur back. But no one cares if you just wear jeans and a t-shirt! hope this helps 💖
Yes! A new video! Too be honest, i do sometimes feel like i need to buy 'expensive' sh*t to look fashionable. Unfortunately, i think that might be the case always since the fast fashions usually just copy the latest trends made by the expensive brands. Hopefully, i learn more through JQ.
Critical analysis of anything is fair. People have forgotten that critique and hate are two different things. I really enjoy your content. I've been saying for a while a lot of people CAN dress well. The thing is people forget that part of your style is rooted in your personal tastes and personality. People try to make personalities a trend which is why many look like they're wearing a costume instead of something that seems to flow effortlessly.
The collab everyone has always wanted
This video just highlights the dangers of social media and how it encourages instant gratification and will
Inevitably make people depressed because they have a grand vision of what things should be like normally.
spot on video, i agree with all your points. honestly its nice to see someone else acknowledging this problem
This channel is going to blow up
Found you on tiktok and this is the most level minded video I’ve ever seen when it comes to fashion
just leaving this comment here for when you inevitably become a crazy huge channel!! love your work ❤
I stumbled into your channel because of the algo -- beautiful hair, by the way.
So I got into the fashion thing because I live in Japan and the city I live in, esp the nightlife district, everybody looks good. Fashionable, even. I'm an American nerd who didn't know how to dress, so I started googling basic shit like 'how to dress as a man' and came across Frugal Aesthetics, Fly with Johnny Thai, Parker York Smith, Tim Dessaint. I didn't really understand the concept of having a style that 'fit' me (I still don't) so I tried to copy these people and for a time I did go out and buy some somewhat expensive stuff (a bomber jacket, some air force 1's, even though I've NEVER worn these kinds of shoes). Now, I wear these things all the time and I feel comfortable in them, and I'm thankful for all the tips/theory into fashion that I discovered thru these channels. It lets me dress more intentionally.
But even with that said, my closet was filled with Uniqlo stuff (since I live in Japan; very easy access, cheap too) that I didn't wear. I essentially donated down into a wardrobe that I wear every day. I think that these channels are a good place to stop if you're trying to figure out who you are in terms of how you want to dress, to learn ideas about color and silhouettes and .. fashion jargon. I never had an opinion on fashion, but now (because of these channels) I believe that fashion is a journey that is best done gradually. Sure, it's good to buy a statement piece or that really cool jacket, but I feel just buying massive amounts of clothing is just .. not the point of fashion. Unless you actually wear all that, then maybe..?
Also how the videos on fashion-tiktok usually cater to certain body type and the pressure that also creates via the fashion medium
somehow i managed to find my style 2/3 years ago before consuming fashion tik tok and i only observe the trends instead of buy in
Thrifting is my favorite way of finding items that force me to improvise and be creative
Thank you man!
Ive seen so many questionable styles pop up cause of social media like Tik Tok.
I hate the flared legs look, as well as stuff like cardigans, and fleece jackets. I got my style now, but if I had been younger? I might have been lead down these paths with no thought nor interest in my clothing.
this is honestly deeper than fashion fr
I got a shein ad on this video 😂
shein is on to me
never knew i would bump into a calm version of Frugal Aesthetic. new sub i guess...
tiktok is scary how addictive and mind controlling it is
I like the way you talk, magic man. Got my like haha
4:28 "Harrington Jackets" when all of them are carhartts LMAO
“Interesting pieces.” My guy, you spent $800 dollars on a t-shirt that no one is going to ask you about.
I def see your point about wondering yourself if you contribute to fashion consumption. Watching your videos I wondered myself if my fits sucked. But instead of buying shit to feel better I was just more critical of what I was wearing and dressed with a little more intention. Feels good man
you gotta be the releast content creator that i'm watching man. Keep up the quality content bro
Thank god I got into fashion just before fashion TikTok. it makes me sad to see some of my favorite niche brands get blown out by TikTok trends tho (Rick Owens). It makes me just wanna archive it for a couple years until it blows over just to bring it back out later.
the intro had the same vibe as trying to run fast in a dream but failing miserably
1:31 everyone’s actual mindset which is crazy af💀💀
another banger per usual. fw the anti overconsumption message heavy.
The 5 credit card thing you said was hilarious. Im 22 and currently working on improving my life in every way, especially financially. Obviously we can't do damn near anything without money so me growing up I was somewhat insecure bc I didnt grow up with money and seeing everyone me with the nicest things or even slightly better clothes made me feel bad. Then after time passed I was asking some of these people how were they getting their clothes and I eventually found out like you mentioned that it was credit card debt or even family giving them money. This one dude I knew even told me he would buy things or klarna and after pay and change his phone number and some extra shit just so the people couldn't reach him... and then I thought to myself Im glad I was never this insecure to go to these depths just to impress. There were time when I got money where I would buy a few shirts and pants when I didnt need but that was so far and few between. If I buy clothes with quality or even if just bc I really like them that im making sure I can afford them
I've recently discovered your channel and have been enjoying your videos quite a lot! I appreciate your refreshing point of view on fashion. I'm slowly getting into it myself and while I'm still figuring out my style and what I like, I can really resonate with how you dress and can imagine myself going into a similar direction down the line.
If I may give a bit of (hopefully) constructive feedback, I appreciate how your recent videos feel a bit more scripted and thought out. With older videos, while it seemed like you had a precise message, your wording could get redundant or repetitive at times; and sometimes that hindered how well the message was transmitted. I do appreciate how "conversational" the videos are though, and I do think there is an ideal middle ground between using a strict script, and an entirely unscripted discussion; and you seem to be getting closer and closer to that goldilocks zone.
Well that's my two cents. Love the videos, excited for the next one :)
Your channel is brilliant, I just discovered you two days ago.
SO MUCH WISDOM FROM THESE TWO WONDERFUL INDIVIDUALS 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
I have 2-3 friends from whom I get advice, like how to pick up something, or what should I buy or not. the best part is that none of us are affected by tiktok fashion
We who dont have tiktok are rare breeds
Haven't used tiktok in over a month, not that I used it much to begin with but just now I've realized how much it has ruined my brain. Everything seems clearer now.
tiktok made me buy two 300$ bb belts which I don't even wear anymore (that was my rent)
skill issue (real)
Tiktok put your credit card info in the website?
Every time I feel like upping my style I remember that I will always be behind the camera and I live in Kentucky where being trendy is not just wearing jeans.
I genuinely love fashion, my mom got me into it by dressing me up in such cute clothes and it’s just part of me to dress up fashionably. But yeah another reason why People love fashion is because it’s their way of feeling approved, I experimented last year in school by dressing up “bad” and looking pretty “ugly”, people treated me poorly and always expect less from me. Now I’m back to my normal self and everyone is treating me differently, a lot of people would interact with me now, they also help me in class by just straight up giving away the answers. Also if I was assigned at a table where there’s a friend group, they always ask me questions as if I was part of the conversation and their friendship… It’s how our world works, gotta play it I guess..
you really called me out with the “5 credit cards in debt”
I don't think the consumers of these TikToks where the outfit is just so out there is that these outfits aren't practical day to day.
Daniel Simmons is a good fashion influencer tho. He doesn't hide that he is clearly rich. He almost always says "X brand gave this piece to me, they are really good" instead of making you think you should or are capable of buying them like other ""fashion"" influencers, he just gives a simple opinion of the product.
I started following Wisdom after I saw him on Frugal Aesthetic and his fits are cool, and the amount of work he puts into his craft is admirable; but I lost it when I saw him making sponsored content for H&M.
fashion for me is simple and chill.
exactly i just stick to what i know and don’t do too much
@@noahslidin2331 fr like some people do to much 🤦♂🤦♂
i think your points were fantastic. i noticed myself getting wrapped up in hard goods consumption bc of target, homegoods, tj maxx type tiktok hauls. im into fairy kei, streetwear, and maximalist fashion, and i try my best to stick with indie brands and second hand. i noticed at least $300 extra in my bank account at the end of the pay week since deleting tiktok lol. ive been focusing on blending my love of streetwear and bright or pastel colors and it feels better than whatever ive bought bc of tiktok. i work in buying for a retail chain so i see a little bit of trends.
After deleting tik tok I hate all the clothes I bought from tik tok advice
the glasses part is legit though- once I know people as having glasses they look so empty without them
this is the smartest and most polite comment section i've ever seen
In high school, I dressed very trendy. The problem is, my clothes were so uncomfortable. I would wear heavy jewelry that would hurt my neck. I would wear skinny jeans that were really skinny and I would be sitting down funny. I would wear heeled boots when my school was five stories and I had to climb the stairs in them. Now as a 26 year old, I have a uniform. In the winter, I wear a sweater, a pair of jeans and boots with grip. In the summer, I wear a t shirt, jean shorts and Converse usually (or a dress and Converse). Sometimes I’ll mix it up and wear Birkenstocks. Having a uniform made dressing so much easier for me. I will wear necklaces and rings to mix things up but I no longer am making myself suffer to look cute.
seeing videos like those on insta reels just get me more confident in my style they always late af😭 also if you looking for a timeless shoe, wich will always be cool & probably last at least 10 years get some maison margiela army trainers
I also feel like there's now this intensified pressure to have an ~*aesthetic*~ home so GRWM video has the right vibe. when in fact living like that is sooo impractical and unrealistic, especially if you live with other people
the collab i didnt know i needed FuckHopsin and Fashion Elitist
I defiantly think the next wave will be minimalism/eco fashion because these trends tend to cycle around. Just like makeup was all about being extra not long ago and now everything is going into the more "natural" look. Personally, after seeing almost 30years of these trends Ive learned to just wear what I like. Ive dressed alt (an umbrella term I use to just mean weird and using inspo from goth/punk/whatever else I like) since in hs and Im used to ppl either giving me looks or telling me they absolutely adore my style and theyd never have the guts. No matter what you wear there will be ppl that hate it and love it. Why waste the energy worrying about what other ppl think? I will use it as a filter as well because imo if someone cares that much about how another person dresses to try to call them out or shame them *cough*ppl who ride trends and shame ppl who dont*cough* then I probably wouldnt want to be their friend anyway
in my opinion tiktok can expose you to aesthetically pleasing shit that u can vibe with and incorporate into ur "style" even if it's kinda explore page core. also on the insecurities in my experience shit helped me by giving me inspiration to work on myself which in turn made me more confident but i'm sure it varies by person. those are the only 2 things i kinda took exception to otherwise great vid
I follow you in tiktok. I am happy to see your videos get recommened on youtube now.
MOM DAD HONEY WAKE UP, FHTV FASHION ELITIST COLAB OMG
People are not even trying to dress comfortably or for themselves no more just to impress someone over a screen they don’t even know who doing the same thing they are doing
7:25 To me it almost comes down to becoming jaded by seeing so many crazy outfits so it seems like you have to be like that to be noticed
These glasses give me Yoko Ono and John Lennon in one person vibes
for about a year now my wardrobe has been almost entirely centered around things that are practical for my work, culture, hobbies and lifestyle. since then I think my style has gotten a lot better and I feel better wearing wearing my clothes because my wardrobe is entirely genuine to who I am and how I live.
My only simple rule in life with fashion is don’t follow trends don’t pay mind to these tik tok videos and find ways to be different, ofc we need some kind of influence so what I do is mix 2 different styles in one.. whenever I get influenced by a outfit from a classic movie or online I do my best not to copy what I saw but better yet remake something similar. But yea basically doing the opposite of what others are doing and ofc picking fits that you genuinely love.
so glad I’m not chronically online, especially not in the traditional sense, so I’m only learning about most of this just now tbqh
Bro has absolute gorgeous hair bro goddamn
thank you for your perspective, Joji Yamamoto
