10 Fashion Tips I Wish I Knew Sooner

[@bizzareegg143]

One tip that i will never forget is to not take fashion too seriously basically have fun with it

[@vesai8506]

The most important tip

[@supdota2]

one thing that has worked for me wonderfully is making a disctinction between *fashion* and *styling* . i'm not into fashion as much as i'm into styling. for me fashion is about trends, brands, pieces, prices, new drops, being new and creative, and look good in the process; styling is about colors, silhouette, proportions, visual tension, and being practical. i know next to nothing about trends and brands, and that has been a big blessing, because i know big brands are expensive, and trends are only trends. edit: more precise use of words to eliminate misinterpretation.

[@tal4466]

Everything you said about styling is generally a derivative of what you're calling fashion. I can kinda see what you mean, but the distinction seem a bit insignificant; people don't give fashion tips without a consideration of styling, and I guess you could say styling tips don't rely on fashion as much, though it's a stretch to say you're not into fashion because you want to emphasize that you focus on the subtleties/intricacies of creation.

[@supdota2]

@@tal4466 i respect your opinion, and maybe i'm the minority, but i think i have a different understanding of what fashion is. I see a lot of videos of people saying "my hat is from x brand, these pants are from y brand, the jacket is from z brand", instead of "i love this and this color combo, and my pants are oversized because it looks flattering, etc". I sometimes watch "what people are wearing" videos to find inspiration, but as soon as they start saying "this is from xyz brand" i just skip to the end. For an observer, i could be interpreted as being into fashion, but precisely speaking i'm not really into fashion, and i find it awkward to converse with other people who's into fashion who talk about this "new drop" from xyz brand, ame leon dore, fear of god, yeezys, whatever is out there. And I'm not a fan of wearing whatever is trendy to make yourself look like you're well dressed, but losing who you really are in the process. ofc not everyone is like that, but i try to narrow it down and not create confusion the next time i talk to someone who's into fashion. i hope that made more sense.

[@tal4466]

@@supdota2 Alright yea I can see the communicative value in some contexts, it can be rhetorically useful even if it doesn't hold up too well under scrutiny. However, I think most people are into styling as you'd call it, even those who list off brand names in the "what are you wearing" videos. Their interest doesn't need to be expressed plainly to be recognized because you can see it for yourself in the way they've put things together. There is an archetype to contend with, in whatever amount, but people are people and there should be grace in framing to avoid simple antagonism that doesn't provoke meaningful change.

[@nate_astro]

One of the most important tips I could tell anyone getting into fashion is to think about texture/material. A lot of fits can fall flat because they LOOK flat - adding texture to an outfit can REALLY make something "plain" start to pop. Really nice all black fits tend to use a lot of texture. Instead of wearing a cotton tee, wear a knitted shirt. Instead of wearing a typical pair of denim, try a pair with some fraying or repairs - or just flat out replace it with some linen trousers. This can even apply to your accessories too, I don't wear ties as much as I'd love to but when I do, I have this banger knitted square tipped tie I'll wear instead of the usual cotton or polyester triangle tipped ones. Texture makes a WORLD of a difference! #pvv The last time I went a day without socials was when I took a break from everything for a couple months around wintertime in 2022. The full detox was refreshing, but I missed seeing all the art and clothing in my feeds.

Tension and juxtaposition in fashion is one of my favorite things! I would LOVE a longer video on that!

[@patrickpatel5527]

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to." [MovieMaker Magazine #53 - Winter, January 22, 2004 ] Jim Jarmusch.

[@danshakuimo]

I went to Japan and the most fashionable people there were the grandpas. You can wear all the funky stuff the young people wear but you will never out-drip the ojisan.

[@nicocorbo4153]

drew is getting increasingly articulate with every video ! i'm here for it

[@JWong-dx5ts]

Slow down was a real one!

[@nacho6438]

your tips are always so well articulated and thoughtful

[@DrewJoiner]

❤️

[@barfymann362]

Man you legit have such a chill energy. I don't usually follow fashion channels, due to the snobbery - similarly the snobbery found in watch collecting. You're chill, humble, and very well spoken. Love your content. Keep it up man. Great stuff!

[@BasedHyperborean]

For me, the best tip is keeping it simple. I’ve majorly minimized my wardrobe, stopped trying to get funky with colors, and really focused on the fit and quality of the pieces. I’d say my style nowadays is basic, but I love everything I have and know it’ll get me through the long haul. Plus, I still get compliments on what I’m wearing fairly regularly. It doesn’t take much to look good. You don’t have to break molds. Do that if it’s your thing, but most people aren’t actually paying that much attention to you anyway, ya know?

[@zackarykanaitis2835]

The way you articulated your section on references was so good. I’m an architecture student and the idea of precedent or reference is crucial

[@ethanmiller631]

pls do a longer video about tip#8 your examples really captures my curiosity about it

[@nunyabusiness3582]

he posted it recently it's called "why great outfits create tension" :)

This is my first video for you and I can’t tell you how much i love it as a fashion lover ❤❤

[@marcus2fashion]

Message to the shy lonely people with no confidence I just want to say, fashion can be your superpower, it can save you just like it can save others, I made friends just because they saw how different my fashion was or how much confidence I had just to wear it, inspire and be inspired. You’re the hero in your own story so save the world with your creativity. - marcus2fashion ✨

[@ratchetpanda101]

Please make a video on how to add layers to your outfits 🙏

[@gabrielleaquino5060]

Really appreciated this! Especially your commentary on copying while still finding yourself or using reference points to build on and personalize, rather than simply stealing ideas or outright theft. I think there’s a major difference in being inspired, doing your research on those inspirations, honouring those inspirations/ giving them their flowers, and being thoughtful about how you bring those inspirations to your style, fashion and any other aspect of who you are, what you do and how you move in the world. That’s very different from theft or simply stealing - there’s a certain lack of intentionality, care and conscientiousness, and some entitlement there that not only falls flat, but can bring us into that harmful space of cultural appropriation and quite frankly colonialism. And so that said, I don’t think you explicitly said it so much as weaved it throughout the video and your other content in general, I think another “tip” or principle even, in fashion and style that feels so important is being ethical in how you do it! And for folks who might feel this conversation and the ideas it comes from is maybe too political, the personal is political, baby! Including personal fashion and style. Anyway, thanks for a really thoughtful piece that really hits home at this point in my life and style journey 🙂

[@Dybaldolover]

i discovered you 1 week ago and im adicted to your videos. im iniciating in this world and i appreciate your content

[@PedroMRDS]

Number 11, understand fabrics and how they work with the weather you live in. 'Cause I live in a tropical country and I can't layer clothes or else I die from a heatstroke.

[@katrinakatrinket]

These are such great tips/ advice, it’s how I developed my own personal style . Fashion is FUN!!

[@awkweirdbri]

I love the edits 🔥🔥

[@bigwildonion]

Nice! These are fundamentals that all of us can use, no matter how long we have been working on our style. I appreciate how some of these are sort of technical, others are about enjoyment.

[@6abhisekbackup9]

7:17 I walk around sometimes and feel as if I made a mistake of wearing outdated style. The Aesthetic labour done by people needs to be appreciated

[@ccdaven81]

One of the hardest things for me these days is really finding quality clothes because I feel like there are so many options - I know what sorts of things to avoid, but I still struggle understanding the best handful of quality, affordable brands

[@DrewJoiner]

I can definitely make a video about this, because it’s something that a lot of people struggle with

[@ZeynepDuvarci]

We enjoy your tips about fashion, keep it up!!!

[@Tiger24kicks]

This year I feel like I've found my self when it comes to fashion. I started with buying higher quality jeans than I focused on jackets and coats. I like gorpcore & classic American clothing. So I went Ralph Lauren love black label and purple label. I basically have 2 styles and it's takin time to collect those high end peaces. Rite now I'm saving for a purple label leather jacket.

My current wardrobe has much rtw street wear, but because of availability, not choice. Now, looking at it, I like street wear, but not the pieces I currently own. I also admire preppy style, but it's too warm for my climate. What should I do?

What is a frugal closet made by Drew? Or only having clothing that's auditioning for every activity you have to be clothed to participate. But how functional is baggy clothing versus how socially comforting the expression

[@cooperwalts639]

Can you do a video on styling shorts? Especially going into the summer, I feel that I fail to pull off good shorts or even know good shorts.

The tip that I always keep in mind is Perfumes elevates your outfit. A simple white T-shirt and Jeans can be elevated by a clean scent or iris scent.

Tip 8 about juxtaposing idea's will definitely make a great video

[@OakParkVG]

the fashion tip I wish I knew sooner was that you can make any piece of clothing basically last forever. if you just follow the care instructions and for most t-shirts wash them inside out.

one tip that took me a long time to understand is not paying attention to the brand. pay attention to the style, texture and quality of the garment instead. sometimes they go hand in hand but not always.

I've been trying to find my style. I love all kinds of styles. I feel good in everything I wear. I use to copy Tyler, The Creator's style. It was cringy but I was able to find things i liked and didn't like. I was in a suicideboys phase where I tried to wear things i saw they wore but with my own twist. I love baggy and i love pants that fit perfectly. I want to get into boots, things out of my comfort zone a bit and maybe experiment so much more. Sadly I work in an environment that really isn't the best.. i can't express myself and i hate it but when i can i will definitely do my best to create something i love.
