if i had to build a wardrobe from scratch, here’s exactly what i’d buy

[@emilkuzmov5792]

The little tips in between the lines like the loose shoulder fit instead of the structured one for a coat make a day and night difference . The relaxed or regular fit for a hoodie instead of the slim one, the boots that indeed transform and make the whole look elevated and etc.. Thank you for the invaluable advice! It is these details that bring a ton of value to me and I love watching your content.

A huge like from China! It is a perfect conclusion for the essentials or basics. Footwear: 1.basic white sneakers such as NIKE AF 1 or other classics 2.boots such as work boots or Chelsea boots (black/brown/suede) Pants: jeans and chinos Tops: Vest/T-shirt/sweat/hoodie/dress shirt/knitwear Outerwear: overshirt/short jacket/overcoat and I think accessories like baseball cap,sunglasses and bags are also need to have

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks! That’s a great list 👍 and yes accessories for sure, they can transform a basic outfit into a great one. I’ll have to do a video on them in the future!

[@HarryHas]

Great video man. Love the new background too. Looks smart!

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks Harry! Still some additions to make if I can ever be bothered haha. Slow and steady 🤣

[@HarryHas]

@@JamesLeung hahaha I know what you mean. I’m waiting for some new carpets to be put in and then I’m going all in on my space!

[@reesehealy]

Been watching your videos non-stop since discovering them (yesterday?). I'm leaning into the norm-core style as a girl and everything you say absolutely does it for me. Thank you!!

[@JamesLeung]

Love to hear that, thanks so much for watching and glad you’re enjoy it! 🙏

[@CasualStyleDrew]

DUDE, I love layering a hoodie with a jacket. It’s the BEST, man!!!!

[@jaredpalencia5067]

Random ass picture of Derrick rose in a tank top 😂

[@CasualStyleDrew]

Black leather boots are super duper stylish

[@Geemeel1]

I just love your cool, calm and collected way of presenting and explaining ! it becomes also an interesting lesson rather than a flashy fashion channel, we have enough of those about!! Well done to you 💪🏽

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you so much bro!

[@3678wilson]

The cos jacket sold out real quick omg! Very good content!

[@angelic_loss]

so excited to see you posting videos again! thanks so much for all of your information

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks a lot Dale, it’s great to be back!

[@eye_cough]

Brother, your voice is butterrrrrr.

[@JamesLeung]

Haha thanks!

[@g.butsaba]

Hey, James. let me show my little opinion about this video editing. when some fashion KZbinr makes a video of tips about wardrobe or something like the same. I love to see when they show items on the board(like a cover in this vid) and pin everything previously until the end. is easy to understand overall when the clip is long and more subject. hope my opinion helps your good content to shine. Thanks

[@JamesLeung]

That’s such a good idea. I wish I thought of that! Thanks for the suggestion, I feel like re-doing this video now so that I can do your idea haha.

[@WyvernX_]

Did you ever find out what was making the scratchy sound or how to fix it?

[@osman9963]

This video is very helpful. Thanks for making good video. I don't know where you live, but I think short puffer jacket is also essential piece. (winter is so cold) What brands or models you recommend?

[@JamesLeung]

Glad you liked it man, thanks for watching! Yeah a puffer is a great addition. I personally like the Uniqlo Ultra Light Down or if you have a bit more money The North Face Nuptse

[@xsayyidx3260]

Yes! I completely agree, Weekday has been absolutely making their way into my rotation. I just got a pair of Ken Tracksuit pants and they’re so easy to dress up and down with! Just need to get myself a good hoodie now🤔great video as always mate! No worries about the audio!

[@JamesLeung]

Aha I just picked up a pair of those as well. They’re lovely, didn’t realise they had zipper pockets as well! Thanks as always bro 🙌

[@sashac4491]

Thanks for the great content! I found it very helpful even as a girl

[@JamesLeung]

That’s great to hear! I watch a lot of female fashion KZbinrs because fashion can be applied to anyone 😊👍

[@Reliabible]

What are your thoughts on shoes? Like daily wear casual work shoes. Does price of shoes matter? Name brand matter? Basically, do I need to spend a lot of money on shoes? Any "more affordable " options? Love your videos

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks as always mate! I would always try to get a decent quality shoe if you can afford it, especially since you’ll be wearing it daily. But at the same time, you don’t want it to be a super expensive designer piece since it’ll probably get ruined. Something mid range like a Chuck 70 or Adidas Samba would be my pick at the moment!

[@uno1industries]

What are those jeans pictured at 3:25? The light wash ones. Been on the hunt for a good pair of straight vintage light wash denim

[@JamesLeung]

Sorry for the slow reply. They are from Acne. Linked them for you in the description underneath the light wash jeans heading 👍

[@uno1industries]

Thank you! 🙏🏻 Great to have you back in the KZbin fashion game

[@mrkyn]

great video as always. thanks James!

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks a lot mate 😊

[@CasualStyleDrew]

Faux leather jackets are good, too. I like wearing them with some ripped jeans and some flannels. Do you like other colors of leather jackets, too or just black leather jackets?

[@JamesLeung]

I like black and brown leather, not too sure about any other colours 😅 how about you?

[@CasualStyleDrew]

@@JamesLeung I like brown and brown leather, too. They’re definitely really nice, for sure. Gray, blue, green, white and tan leather jackets are other neat options. I think it’s good to collect leather jackets in multiple different styles in the color black.

[@khan.riyadh]

James your samba shoes size???

[@BerlinGyopo]

Hey James Seems like the leather jacket from cos is sold out in my area. Have you pulled the trigger ? 😅

[@JamesLeung]

Oh never 😩 I ended up picking one up from ASOS (in my latest video)!

[@dizzy7111]

Finally someone else agrees with me about that little stitching on sweatshirts. It looks terrible. Uniqlo has good colors and fit, but that stitching is what makes it suck.

[@JamesLeung]

Hahaha it’s absolutely awwwwful. Everything else about the sweater could be perfect but if they put that stitching there then I’m throwing it out the window!

[@johazeldejesus778]

amazing video as always

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you mate 😀

[@miguel_valero]

solid and versatile capsule! Loving the backdrop as well mate!

[@JamesLeung]

Ahhh thanks man!! Still looking to improve but my space is so small, this might be the limit 😅

[@РенатХусаинов-г1ф]

You have good content. I don't like everything, but there are a lot of useful things. Hello from Russia.✌️

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@AxlMomo]

Great vid ! where's your sweater from?

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you! It’s from Weekday. I went on over it in my last video if you want some details 👍
