The black leather jacket is timeless for the underground subculture aesthetic across generations, from rockabillies & greasers in the 50s & 60s, to rockers, metalheads, punkers, industrial & goths in the 70s, 80s, 90s, & beyond. Then the Emo, Scenesters, Indie/Alt bands, psychpop & electro/synthpop dudes since the 2000s to present. It will always fit the alt-dude, artist, musician type & the rebel bad boy aesthetic forever. It’s true most guys probably can’t pull it off unless they have the frame of presence & attitude to go along with the narrative of whatever subculture or music scene they’re in. 🎸🎹🤘🦇🕷️☠️

For cardigans look up pictures of steve mcqueen and daniel craig, they don't look dated at all in my opinion. Steve mcqueen is called the "king of cool" for a reason, and his style is still iconic (including his cardigan) more than 50 years after his death.

Man, I can relate to that exact feeling of describing a fresh ass item in your wardrobe, then remembering it was lost in a fire. While I feel that my style has elevated in the couple years that it's been since mine, it's hard to forget the loss. But clothes can be replaced. You can't. Some of my favorite pieces that I now own were donated by wonderful people. Having to rebuild gives you more perspective on what's essential, and it's interesting the way it affects one's fashion opinions. Great video.

It’s so cool to see how fashion trends are so different in every country! I live in Japan where cardigans and puffer jackets are like the biggest AW trends every year, and my guy just put the both of them in the mid-bottom tiers. 😂😂😂 No hate! It’s just really interesting. I feel like Japan lives in their own world of fashion while trying to take some things from foreign brands, but definitely have a distinct aesthetic to them. If that makes sense. 😂 Love the content man! ❤

Pleated trousers CAN be god tier, but can also be hot garbage depending on your body type. If you're already long and lean, then yeah, go for it. But if you're rocking a shorter/chonkier frame, it can make your bottom half look wider, which is not what you're typically going for.
