Trendy vs Stylish | What is Unique Style?

[@Coderedpirate]

Having a uniform really was a breakthrough for me when it came to fashion. Having a basic, minimal, set of pieces that are your weekday go-tos have so many benefits. Eliminates the stress and time taken up in the morning when trying to figure out what to wear. It also helps contrasts when you do decide to dress up for maybe the weekend or going out. When people see you wear a plain white tee and black trousers everyday, you’ll almost always get a reaction whenever you decide to pull some unique pieces out

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

For others reading this, I wouldn’t recommend defaulting to black trousers and a white shirt. That’s a very high contrast outfit and cuts your body in half, accentuates your waist and breaks you clearly into a top and bottom half. Black is an overrated color. Black shows any and all lint, pet hair, dust. It _“matches with everything”_ in the sense that it equally matches with nothing else. Black obscures any visual texture the fabric might have. It’s inappropriate for day time or the summer. Worst color possible IMO. Trousers-and a-tee are fine, but I would recommend literally any other color besides black.

[@Coderedpirate]

@@Mister_Phafanapolis I respect your opinion, but that's what works for me. Luckily I don't have any problems with dust, lint, pet hair, etc. so my black pieces are always clean aside from the occasional fading. As for the high contrast, it's generally pretty accepted for color blocking that colors opposite to each other in the color wheel go together just as well as those that are beside it. Again, all opinion and preference. Wear whatever makes you confident!

[@sunmessiah7415]

Spot on, I definitely have a lot of pieces I only keep for going out, day to day I fell in love with just jeans t’s and shirts and boots

[@C.Davis96]

You have a point

[@threepeatvintage]

" Being stylish and being fashionable are entirely two different things. You can easily buy your way into being fashionable. Style, I think, is in your DNA. It implies originality and courage. And the worst that can happen is that you fail. And you don't die from that " Iris Apfel

[@stijn8588]

A mix of both. Trends are inevitable. You stumbled upon certain pieces you started to love bc they were a trend/microtrend once

[@rami9274]

I love to have like 1-3 uniforms that all utilize my style, and then use parts of trends that fit them, even making them staple or permanent if i really like them

[@Whodnl]

You know someone who has unique style is the man Drew Joiner, what a legend happy to be blessed this Sunday.

[@memelord3348]

Drew da 🐐no 🧢

[@pastaboinch]

I love how you highlighted that we should look inwards at our personal interests and how we identify ourselves to shape how we dress. At the end of the day there is no wrong way to dress. We're all just telling a story about who we are with the clothes that we put on everyday. The only thing I hate about fashion is how some people in the sphere can be extremely vain, frivolous, and judgemental. Especially in this fashion influencer/micro-celebrity day and age, a lot of people seem to take themselves too seriously and have grown out of touch from being a good human. I say this from personal experience knowing and meeting a lot of people like this in Los Angeles. I just hope at the end of the day people understand that there is nothing absolute and superior about their tastes. Fashion is about self-expression in the fleeting lives we live. Self-expression that doesn't have to come at the expense of judging and stigmatizing others.

Definitely Tyler the creator. His style is disruptive in a classic kind of way, especially in recent years. Nothing he wears is really anything we haven’t seen before but it’s more like styles that have been moved away from by the masses. And the way he puts colors together always seems fun no matter what the pieces are. #pvv

[@zerois2801]

It’s not nothing we’ve seen before (lots of influences from other older styles) BUT it’s his very own unique take on the retro style The color use, certain pieces, and street influences def brings something new to the retro style that has. Even explored in other high fashion luxury brands (take fendi, Gucci, and LV old runways)

[@zerois2801]

And as you said his outfits are indeed so fun to see

[@artSFCA]

This is a good question. To me a trend is temporary, something a celebrity would wear and all of a sudden some ppl have to wear it. However, style is personal, proportion based by putting something together.

[@xJuliaGrimesx]

My 2 cents on this: a few years ago I developed my uniform, mostly white shirts and flared jeans with menswear inspired shoes. Recently I‘ve started experimenting within the frame of my uniform: colorful jeans, same cut but different fabric, big sleeves, high collars, etc. If feels great to be able to try out new things without putting on a costume

[@jacobmperry]

It's quite a 'trendy' style rn and one I take heavy inspiration from that being Daniel Simmons'. I love his use of soft tones and heavy focus on proportionality. I really enjoy juxtaposing traditionally quite formal pieces with large oversized/more modern silhouettes. Great vid as always man #PVV

[@MrPuddingkopf]

I like the idea of an uniform, I think I will never get tired of the slim black Jeans, regular white shirt and relaxed overshirt combo. But trying new things and pushing your comfortzone ist way to much fun at the moment.

[@memelord3348]

I love your thoughts on pretty much everything on this vid but I differ on making a uniform right off the bat. I think that to make a uniform you first have to explore fashion for some good time, narrow it down to the core of *what you truly like* & then you’ll be able to assemble something you’ll be happy with

[@TheJProducti0ns]

Emma really dresses good. It always looks so put together but it isn't trying too hard if that makes sense

[@mtmchale26]

I took up skateboarding in my teenage years and it helped shape every aspect of my life. Fashion-wise, I think Jason Dill really is someone who laid ground work for their unique style in the industry.

[@genesis2187]

definitely. and he was emulating characters like pony boy and dallas winston from the outsiders.

[@EVOL-Hobby]

I tried to force myself to get an uniform to buy less and find « my » style but at the end of the day there s no bad thing being experimental like ye is and I think I just can’t stop trying new things, Havin different styles for different mood is just so cool to me

[@mfaith3129]

Literally the first person I’ve heard say it’s okay to dress trendy and I had to reevaluate my thoughts on fashion trends and how in internally judge people fir following trends x

[@imbeautifullytragic6442]

As someone who likes to always be doing something interesting with my outfits, I find the idea of a uniform scary but also comforting. I guess I can have the freedom to wear the same stuff all the time and not be creating a world altering brand new fit every day for class. I can be creative with clothing, but I shouldn’t put pressure on myself to do something new every single day.

[@feaww5085]

I love Im Changkyun's style. His style has evolved in recent years and while it's not ground breaking nor do I think it's trend setting but his style feels like it was made for him. It's clean, classic, and timeless. I'd argue that even when you compare others with a similar style to him, he still does it better than everyone else.

[@beyond0077]

Figuring out my uniform was one of the most satisfying experiences in my life. I always know what to wear, basically everything matches. Tip: less is more.

So with the clothes you have or want create an outfit that you are 100% confident in and stick to it, an outfit you wouldn’t think twice about. Lastly versatility is key at least for me, I like buying clothes that matches with one another.

[@AliseChachka]

I've just discovered your channel today and after watching a few videos I can say that I love your unique approach to topics that (seems like) everyone has talked about many times. You don't just copy-paste common advice but you get in-depth with your thoughts, research and it seems like you really care about helping people with your videos. This is what quality and unique content is. Also, love your voice haha

[@wheres_galdo]

hiroki nakamura and rick owens are my two biggest style inspirations. both have such recognizable look about you that is immediately recognizable is so amazing to me. to not only be recognized by personality or face but by how you present yourself is such a dream come true for me

[@Danielwoesthoff1]

Same. Hiroki does everything stylish. I sometimes wonder if he has like a old grey sweats pants he chills on the couch with on a Sunday. He is probably wearing a natural indigo-dyed kimono though...

@TEXT ON TELEGRAM @DrewJoiner Im not sure what to do? Am I just to reply to acknowledge?

[@defnemeryemcolakoglu7838]

I never really thought that I had a unique style until starting college. Within the first few months I had people telling me that the way I dress (and sometimes act) reminds them of a sitcom character from the 70s, 80s or 90s. It's the most interesting compliment I've ever gotten 😚 It's also wild that I had girls in my class during middle school tell me that me wearing oversized clothes were weird, but now It's a huge trend.

[@ricardoleon9185]

I freaking love this video. I think it’s so cool there’s more and more dudes on KZbin talking about fashion, cuz I’ve always thought it’s so fun and why should just one group of people get all the fun?

i recently discovered your channel and im obsessed! im only 15 but i really want to start dressing better and stop spending so much money on clothes that don’t match.

[@AndrewPalios]

My best advice is wear what gets your creative juices flowing. I typically put the outfit together in my head based on something I want to wear, like a specific shirt or color. Once you put it all on commit to it and walk out the door without second guessing. People will notice your positive vibes more than the clothes on your body so at the and of the day, if you are inspired by your outfit, you’ll give off positive vibes.

[@isaacswansonvlogs7044]

Wow, looking back I feel I did the same thing, however, I never would have had the foresight to notice it. Kudos to you.

[@willdelarosa8238]

Truth is a lot of the fire fits I see online, I could never wear in public, so I always make it my own.

[@MisterAnonymousOwO]

My friends have been noticing recently that because of the way I love thrifting and getting clothes from my mom’s old work clothes (men can wear women’s clothes as long as they fit XD), I end up looking like I time traveled from 2004. I study trends, look at the young adults my age and how they dress, I could easily dress “trendy” if I wanted to. But I don’t, I like my time traveler style because it feels like me, and I hope other people evolve their styles like that too :3

[@80apocryphal13]

The big thing you overlooked is the huge downside to being trendy is... it's unsustainable. I don't even necessarily mean in a moral, planetary sense, though those are serious issues, but just financially and temporally. Influencers have the benefit of being gifted clothes and styled, but for the average person, it's time spent keeping on top of the trends and maintaining a reasonably sized closet, and money spent constantly updating with no end in sight since there's always going to be something new. You're much better off figuring out what you like and is going to stick and using that 5-10% to figure out what styling, tweaks, or combos you can do to make it feel more current.

[@rami9274]

I think Kanye does both. He does so many different aesthetics but you can see his exact same style/uniform in a lot of them

[@vintageswiss9096]

Keith Richards always had a super unique style. It was in the 70/80s vein of the glam rock style without going into the “grey area” that Prince popularized. You could tell dude had a ton of fun styling himself back in the day, and I mean c’mon, not many people can pull off a tuxedo with an eyepatch and a tophat.

[@nevonte16]

Great video! Some days I wanna try something different some days I’m gonna be trendy. Drew I think a good video idea is highlighting some black creators/ influencers & our impact on this fashion culture.

I’ve been doing wife beaters under my button downs but unbuttoning them super far down to about three buttons from the bottom. It has this Larry the cable guy feeling on a better physique. I love it because it creates a great upside down triangle broadening the shoulders visually.

[@Vaeocyn]

PVV gang what's up, no lie I'm not feeling the hat today but you are certainly a stylish cat and a great voice in KZbin fashion. You and frugal aesthetics have both talked about the uniform concept recently and I think it's really the best way to lock in what exactly your personal style looks like, what the baseline is, almost like your everyday demeanor. Then you've got those pieces you best out occasionally to spice things up the way certain moods/people/situations will bring out different elements if your personality

[@understitchYT]

When I was at schl my prof told me that creative people choose uniforms so they dont have to focus on what they are wearing so they have more creative juice for their creations. I get it, but its still not for me

She’s soo good at mixing and matching colours and patterns. She brings in trendy elements but it still looks true to her style and also in a way that makes it look classic

OKay, One Thing I would challenge you on is when you mentioned that "In the US, most people dont dress well". Honestly not even really about the "US" part - although I think that could be another beneficial conversation - but the "dressing well". What does that mean exactly? What does someone who "dresses well" look like? If there's such thing as dressing "well", who decided on that objective definition- and why do you agree? What is the benefit/impact of having a conversation about "personal" "unique" style while still upholding the constricting ideals of dressing "well". All those questions are rhetorical btw lol but hopefully you get what im trying to say. Id honestly love to know what you think- whether you agree or not
