Trendy vs Timeless Pt.2 (How to build a timeless wardrobe)

[@ThaiNguyen-if2kr]

i think that one topic that gets overlooked in fashion is hair. hair adds such a unique flair to someone’s character and you could definitely categorize different styles into trendy vs non trendy styles.

I feel like anything is timeless if it's your personal style. Regardless of what the actual garment is, if its part of your aesthetic, it can never go out of style because you dictate what that means. The way companies sell trends is largely for the people who havent or dont want to develop a personal style (which is also a valid way of dressing)

[@colehollander5823]

Agreed, as someone who grew up in a log cabin in the woods, camo and flannels were a big part of clothes I had and see them as a part of my aesthetic

[@lambofunny]

i agree with dressing your style being timeless, also dressing to fit your body type is timeless, for example, a bigger dude will always look better with wider pants than skinny jeans even if wide pants are currently a trend. another example would be a shorter dude will always look good in a more cropped sweater as it improves their proportions, even though cropped sweaters are really trendy right now

The difficult part is understanding what my preference is and not being too influenced by trends.

[@Phenrex]

It's interesting to me to see how different our perceptions can be between one another. I literally don't understand how peoples preferences can blur with trends. I like what I like, trends are completely disconnected from whether I like it or not. I am a lover of collared lantern blouses, slim fit pants, golden jewelery, and elaborate bowties whether or not it's in fashion. The only way I think I'd be influenced is subconsciously in what I see, and more directly in just whats available to buy.

[@Phenrex]

@Sophia Hoag Ahh so maybe it's my own disinterest in what people think that makes me less susceptible to that effect.

[@surveyor1515]

Just…stay away from social media/style influencers..? 🤨

[@LLLadySSS]

For me, i just ignore influencers (or get inspired keeping in mind my preferences) and browse websites of brands i like

[@unite1770]

For me thats also really difficult sometimes. I mean i like what I like and I know what I like, but sometimes I see my preferences change. I think being exposed to trends in this world today where you repeatedly see the same Item again and again, even if you wouldn't naturally feel drawn to it, over time your eye gets used to it and you might actually think "ah this doesn't look as bad as I thought after all." And then you might start liking it. I dont like to think that I like things just because the majority likes it and there for it is a safe way to go, but I do like to consider if there might actually could be a profound aesthetical value found in current trends. After all why do so mamy ppl like it? But as I already said it might just be that way because everybody likes it, that everybody likes it and it just accumulates that way. Anyhow beauty can be found in everything

[@salixcaprea2459]

i think an important thing that often gets overlooked when it comes to timeless vs trendy is quality of material. when you consider cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, silk etc., items made from such materials are automatically more timeless because of their durability (in my opinion)

[@xerlmx]

silk really isnt timeless, especially because it is so hard to take care of for the normal person. I am talking of experience... I love my silk turtleneck or silk scarf and silk-tie. Also Viscose or other new materials are just more sustainable and easier to maintain :D If I am wrong please tell me ^.^

[@magnussmith9733]

I think being “timeless” is a trend right now. Specially in the sneaker world i see shift towards simple colorways, like white and creme, instead of multicolored sneakers like many of the SB Dunks that was extremely popular just a little while ago

[@comicog3]

For sure. I don't know about everyone participating in fashion rn, but as a young professional in my early 20s, I'm not interested in acquiring too many flashy pieces that I will never learn to style or will stop caring for in a year or two when the winds change. I've definitely learned into brown and cream as a result, as they're such great shades (especially against my brown skin) and will continue to combine well with timeless colors forever.

hopefully the love for timeless pieces will stay trendy! that might eventually decrease the amounts of shitty quality clothes that go straight into landfills

[@FabulousResults]

I think wide/relaxed fits are timeless because we cycle between liking skinny/slim fit and more relaxed stuff. It's not always what people want at the moment, but relaxed fits always come back eventually

[@khaledm8232]

Fax because some days we like to be relaxed but also stylish

[@Aileenwasright]

I’ve been wearing oversized hoodies since I was a kid (started wearing my older sisters stuff) and I would later deliberately buy oversized hoodies for myself and it’s always just been a matter of wanting to feel relaxed and comfy.

[@Pkg597]

…I’d say fitted is more timeless not skinny not relaxed but fit to ur body shape

[@Misseggy24]

But skinny fits also cycle around eventually too?? I think that the most timeless version of a lot of these “timeless” styles is the fitted one. The one that is true to size for your body type; not obviously a relaxed fit, nor a particularly slim one.

[@zoe8814]

I've been wearing baggy, oversized cargo pants for years and I'm so happy to see the "parachute" look become mainstream, but I really hope that people don't start seeing them as outdated when they fall out of fashion and I'm still wearing them😅 These kinds of pants will always be an iconic piece of my personal style, and I would be sad to see them being thought of as a cringe or last-season item

[@fahadmuliika3218]

I think oversized shouldn't be a trend. it's just a great fit that for some people makes them worry less about how their body looks in a fit. here to stay in my opinion

[@missslollipop77]

[@zoden6305]

It’s been a year now and I still have yet to see someone wear them in public, imo they were trendy but I think they could be timeless just because of the fact that some of them have their own aesthetic tailored to them

[@ksad_]

i think the trendy vs. timeless convo will always be in context of a clothing "meta". for instance a lot of these "timeless" items lean towards american/european menswear which is like the majority style. but there are definitely timeless pieces in different metas, like workwear or streetwear.

[@xaviergreaux869]

Yea, I agree because I’m from the Caribbean so short skirts are timeless because there is no season change and it works for almost any tops and shoe combos

[@JashlynCanela]

In my opinion, The North Face puffer is a timeless piece.I’m from nyc and once the winter hits,everyone takes out their puffers. My parents and aunts actually wore the original 1996 puffer when it first came out in the 90s and now I have one aswell. I do understand that its come back but a classic black puffer will always be a new york staple because of how conventional it is, how good it looks and ofcourse, that it keeps you warm.

[@alexandraoloughlin4051]

Interestingly, north face in the UK (especially in Liverpool) has a really negative connotation with gang culture. So North Face as a label has a really negative stigma attached to it!

I feel that your “classic” takes are heavily inspired by European aesthetics. Specially when you talked about silhouettes, wider cuts are a mainstay in Japanese fashion as opposed to a trend. Plus, I think you overlooked subcultures which exist outside of “classic” looks such as grunge, punk, skate, etc, which have looks that are “trendy” but have been around within those subcultures for over two decades. Great video in terms of getting an idea on Euro/American fits.

[@zachariah7114]

Good point about punk subculture, I saw someone say on another video that Dr. Martens are an example of this. They fluctuate between trendy and timeless, but even when they’re not considered on trend, they’re a staple of punk. They still will be 20 years from now.

[@ksad_]

one thing that many timeless items have in common is that theyve graduated from function to fashion over time. for instance classic menswear like leather and denim jackets, wool coats, leather boots, athletic trainers, list goes on.

And I’m also looking for things that can be styled with nearly anything because then not only would I like most my outfits, I’d also be saving money but not buying trendy things that either don’t flatter me or don’t go with anything. And ofcourse shopping for your body type and color tone will be very helpful with finding a timeless wardrobe

[@bellachow4092]

i think the question of trendy vs timeless also hinges on the practicality of the item. timeless items, like normal fit jeans and sneakers are always something we're going to return to because they're comfortable, functional, dependable, and often lower effort to style and wear. statement-making trendy pieces are a lot of fun to discover and style, but they tend to be higher maintenance and get tiring after the hype has died down

[@megumintobuna-4537]

Gotta say one designer that really helped me realise my personal fashion style was Yohji Yamamoto. As a girl i never resonated with skirts ,tight skinny pants, dresses, or pastel clothes. It did not look good on me and i also didn't like them in general. So when i first discovered Yohni Yamamoto's androgynous dark and edgily attractive style of fashion i was hooked. Now im just 17 obviously i can't afford his clothes but looking for inspiration in his clothes i was able to build a stable timeless wardrobe for myself that just felt right for me. I think It's actually quite fun to look thru runway shows or individual designer clothes to look for inspiration since they have so much avant garde and unique type of styles that may become special to you. If you don't want to follow trendy fashion you can always make a special style just for yourself that doesn't necessarily follow any trend or type.

[@n8m881]

more recently i started thrifting almost all the tops in my wardrobe. I also cut down on how much stuff i have and if i want to add something i need to remove something from the collection (sort of a capsule wardrobe but bigger and not as strict). definitely feel like, 1. limiting the number of pieces you have will naturally lead you to more timeless pieces 2. thrifting by nature will lean toward more timeless pieces 3. regardless of what you pick, your collection will be timeless from your personal perspective. my one flannel and one puffer vest were thrifted from my trip to Spain. my tweed overcoat was my Grandpa's. my coolest graphic tees were thrifted on my trip to Portland. basically all I'm saying is if you're struggling w/ the topic of this video and haven't tried thrifting (including trendier more expensive vintage stores) consider giving it a try. It's incredibly fun, rewarding, and affordable too

[@the_33rd]

The Detroit styled Jacket came out in 1954, meaning its almost 70 years old. I think if an item of clothing is still being worn for 7 decades it falls into the timeless category. Skinny jeans became popular in the 60s and have continued to remain popular, baggy carpenter pants became popular in the 90s and yet somehow they’re timeless. I like both and think they’re both timeless. On the subject of footwear, your arguments are odd to say the least. The Jordan 1 is a 40 year old shoe thats still popular. Crocs didn’t come out till 2001, and were clowned on for almost 2 decades, only becoming popular as a trend recently. The Adidas Samba came out in 1949! It’s a 73 year old shoe that sold 35 million pairs, enough said, its timeless. The trucker hat is 50 years old, I’ve been wearing them for 20 years. You’re showing your age and definitely need to research the history of the clothing you’re reviewing. Timeless vs Trendy should be viewed from how often they continue to be recycled throughout time. A trend usually dies whilst a timeless piece will remain. Plenty of other clothing items that i wont touch on that you’re wrong about. This video is a rare L for you.

They are also great for a lot of seasons, obviously, it depends on where you live but I'd say they are great for seasons such as spring, autumn, and winter.

I think that military wear has a lot to do with current trends in fashion as well as timeless pieces. The US army actually invented the first mass manufactured tshirt and ever since then it trickled down into everyday wear, which is impressive. They definitely influenced the consistent wear of items like derby boots after their massive popularity for use in Vietnam and cargos. When it comes to camo I feel like it can be split into two categories. One can be much more trendy and cheaply pasted onto a pair of pants or jacket just to be sold in mall, but an authentic piece of military camo can work very well. The olive green seen on the currently trendy military pants was discontinued in the late 80s so you can’t find any authentic pieces unless you go second hand. All military wear camo now and I will always bear in mind that the army won’t do anything without a reason.

[@KidCracken]

Military wear inspired everything! (Almost lol). Mass manufacturing paved way for industrialization of fashion. Parkas are inspired by old military jackets, camo as a trend died down a bit, but the trendy colors (nature / earth tones) are the colors used in camo, German army trainers inspired sneakers etc etc.

[@KidCracken]

But when we're talking actual army use, they use the best we know of, not the absolute best. A ton of people are now arguing that all grey (no pattern) is actually the best allround "camo".

[@martynwatts9216]

Great video, drew. I think one really important aspect to consider in the "Trendy vs Timeless" debate is functionality. All aspects of fashion (and other creative modalities for that matter) exist on a spectrum of form and function. Timeless pieces carry a great deal of functionality in their form, with less extraneous aesthetic elements. Trendy items may or may not work well functionally, but they have an abundance of aesthetic cues in their design profile to garner interest. To your point, these trendy pieces are often a derivative of the highly functional "original" design, but with additional aesthetic cues. These extraneous aesthetic cues are easily interchangeable as they ebb and flow with the whims of the creative community.

The super short skirts look is cute but so impractical. They never stay down and when you sit they wrinkle up. They look great for photos but not for long time wear.

[@tosinolorunsola711]

I'm interested in seeing what popular styles of garments of the last decade (including the ones now) will hold up maybe 10 years from now and stand the test of time. When the pieces we consider timeless were made, I don't think people at the time thought they were gonna be "timeless". As far as I can tell, a lot of what we consider "timeless" today is practical, versatile and accessible. There are certainly garments that fit all these parameters that are trendy. So I wonder-- if Tiktok wasn't a thing and trend cycles were slower would there be a greater potential for pieces to outlive their "eras" ?

Interesting take on Monet when Impressionism was not considered ~classical~ when they were first shown to the public. Personally, I think our ideas of classical/timeless wardrobe pieces will continue to evolve as the human species evolve. Fit and silhouette, I believe, are more determinant factors in whether a piece of clothing is timeless, or not. I'd argue that leopard and camo prints CAN be timeless given the right design.

considering birkenstocks I feel like the Arizona style is by far the most timeless, Boston has only recently been discovered and worn as general shoes, for many older Germans the Boston is a very generic "gardening shoe" or "around the house slipper". It's surprisingly popular with nurses as workwear shoes but apart from that I don't see them as timeless at all.

[@Misseggy24]

What’s timeless is 100% determined by the communities and cultures you’re a part of though. Flannel is timeless if you grew up rurally (cowboy and Chelsea boots are another strong example of that), leather is timeless if you’re involved in motorcycle or alt music culture, tribal tattoos are timeless if you’re actually of the culture they are significant to. I for one would consider mini skirts to be one of the most timeless staples I own. I think it’s partially because I’m from Australia, and so wearing really short bottoms in the summer is very common, since it’s so hot. Sure, the exact style of mini skirt that is popular changes with the trends, but the concept has consistently retained its popularity since I was a child. I also feel that something like a mini skirt, which is so intrinsically connected to a social movement from history (women’s hemlines getting shorter as a reflection of the progression towards women’s liberation) is inherently more timeless for that reason. It marked a major shift in cultural consciousness, and we’ve been continuing to wear them ever since.

for the accessories category you should definitely bring up belts and scarfs!

[@fahadmuliika3218]

what I've got from this is "timeless" is mostly pieces of clothing that people who are not that into fashion or really safe with their fashion choices wear

[@Fatimaurl]

another way I look at trendy vs timeless is how many times, and in what different ways can you style that piece of clothing. for example, a racing jacket is something a person might only wear a few times a year top which makes it trendy

[@ellieyoung8389]

I can say corsets are timeless. It goes waaay back and it just look good.

[@daphni98]

Old school vans timeless!

[@mvnkp]

I guess timeless pieces can be very trendy as well - like the Birkenstock Boston, which maybe has been around for a long time but has not been regarded a fashion piece until last year. I would even argue that the claim of timelessness itself is somewhat a trend right now. Sustainability being a claim many companies make in their ads goes hand in hand with them selling “timeless“ products that are supposed to last for years and always look good.

[@angeiiortega1568]

I think a fair isle sweater is a classic. Especially for winter.

[@missjadeeloise]

i never comment on youtube videos, but i just have to say, this is definitely one of the most engaging videos i've seen in a while! i feel as though all of our attention spans have only decreased as a result of social media, but i didn't want this video to end, and i learned a lot! thank you for making worth while content! definitely subscribing, also yes to pt 3!

[@Colormeajungle]

Im a knitter and crocheter and mohair is definitely timeless in the knitting world

[@ray.0409]

my whole mindset for being "fashionable" is being independent with what you think looks good on you. and when that isn't trendy, that's good, even when you're called "unfashionable". match colors, textures, patterns, and fits for what you like, not what trends tell you too. cuz that Nirvana t-shirt bucket hat combo is so stupid

[@Def_not_Ana]

24:56 also the marshall headphones, I don't know if they would be consider as a trendy item but they've been around for quite some time

[@karlivanr]

Holy smokes, this is one very solid list. I'm a more of a Timeless kind of man but would love to experiment with the Trendy ones from time to time. This is an amazing follow up from the first one you made before, I'm hoping for a part 3 if possible. Thank you so much for this list! Currently having the huge urge to check up my wardrobe right now. Regarding subbed vs dubbed, here are the only animes that I would consider better as dubbed; Dragon Ball and Naruto. The rest are fine as subbed, that's all!

[@jakubfreedom]

i really liked this video... my timeless piece is actually Carhartt Council Pant. They have different colours, nice fitting and i thing they are really perfect for me

[@RecklessxBehavior]

Corsets are actually timeless bc they are never really out of style, what is trendy is how you wear it

[@amikkomoon5273]

I think that band shirts no matter the band can be pretty classic and timeless if the print is done with ink so that it affectively ages with the shirt because no matter how obscure the band is or how loss the reference is you still have a cool graphic T

[@alexisbayne]

I love headphones, I hate air pods. Headphones are much more practical. It’s also nice that people can tell when you are listening to something. Someone might not see that you have air pods in your ears. For example wearing headphones at the gym, you don’t have to worry about them falling off. I think they are timeless. Trendy right now yes, but overall timeless.. I had headphones before I even had an iPhone.

[@emma472]

As someone who wears mainly colour and print, colour and print are one of the things that are very trendy. You can immediately tell what era something is from, simply based on the colour. However, black and white is so boring to me, so i only wear colour.

[@dannss6]

i would argue that the workwear jackets like carhartt are timeless. they are “generational” and durable pieces that can be worn your whole life and passed on. you went on to say that varsity jackets are timeless for “X” reason but that same reason could be applied to the workwear

[@brittanystorey9460]

you need to talk about other boots like chelsea boods, rainboots, doc, etc. would love a whole boot video

[@reallyamir23]

no mention of chinos? definitely timeless

[@charlottelotti9254]

I feel like for me these h&m and bershka cargo 'baggy' jeans are very trendy rn. And Adidas samba are very trendy right now yes, but in my opinion they are also timeless bc my mother wore them like 15 years ago and they were in too.The onitsuka tiger shoes are really great!! Thank you for that video.

[@ronharrodjr]

Your a good content creator drew! Don’t let anyone tell you different

[@beanliker]

I have my poppops letterman, and I feel so cool everytime I wear it. he never put his letters on though but still, fun thing to have, and the reason I really want to get a letterman of my own.

[@jakewojcik1089]

I was agreeing with most of this list but I’m sorry to tell you drew, leather pants are timeless. Obviously newer brands are trying to make a resurgence of them which kind of tarnish their image but people have religiously wore leather pants for a long time. (bikers, rockstars, some western wear, etc.)

[@jakewojcik1089]

I think a big reason of why I say this is because I feel that certain silhouettes are seen as more trendy but there are just some materials that are the definition of timeless. (Leather, denim, corduroy, cotton, knits, and obviously other materials I can’t think of lol)

[@Radical_Cat]

White button ups and leather jackets are I think are obvious choices for timeless tops as well.

[@caytonhopson3200]

I’d definitely say oversized is timeless especially for the bigger people!!

[@millaseale1324]

When deciphering between trendy and timeless it's so important to look beyond social media and what is worn in your country/generation. As someone who lives in Australia, the Asics Gel Kayano has continued to be timeless since I was little. They have maintained to be worn since I can remember and often just move with time and as new models come out (whilst it still being acceptable to wear older models). Every time I come to buy a new running shoe, they're always in the mix of options. Another example would be leather pants. They are definitely a lot of people's styles and continue to be worn by all generations. They definitely had there time in early 2022 when they become more of a trend but that doesn't take away from the fact that they have always been worn and continue to be worn by many people, in all different styles. One more is Salamon's, they have been worn and popular within Australia for a long time now and were only brought to light by social media in 2022. I think they will remain to be worn by a lot of people and could be considered a staple in a lot of Australian households.

[@Misseggy24]

I am also Australian, and hard agree with those damn Asics. Even though they’re sort of known for being an unattractive shoe, they remain most people’s go-to running shoe, and by far the most consistent and widely available option in stores. I think they are ugly as hell, and yet I own 3 pairs right now (and wear them regularly).

[@kevinwichlin9889]

Letterman jackets are timeless as part of American culture, however; my dad would look like he’s trying to capture former glory (real or imagined) if he was walking around in one in his sixties.

[@dwaynekeenum1916]

So u wear it

[@maxaberg6479]

I loved this video. The pace you’re talking in makes everything easy to understand and feel thought through and easy to follow. This video is just so good! Wow!

[@KarlSnarks]

Getting a trendy tattoo is probably the biggest risk you can take when it comes to fashion, unless it's one that's easily removable (thin lines, small).

[@Alan-rw3ez]

if someone is worried about those for tattoos they probably should never get them.

[@KarlSnarks]

@@Alan-rw3ez True, but IF you gonna take a tattoo you might regret, at least make sure it's one that could be lazered away well and on a less visible place

[@matthewwwtaylor]

Focusing on oxfords/button shirts: I think the fit of the oxford makes all the difference in whether it's considered trendy or timeless. Two trendy examples: 1. The slim-fit, narrow-arm chambray shirts from American Apparel. If someone is wearing that shirt in a fit today, I think they'll look like they're straight out of 2011. 2. An oversized, camp-collar, boxy oxford from MF Pen or Our Legacy. Definitely feels of the moment and something that will scream 2022 in due time. I guess your same observation of the "happy medium" fit for jeans could probably apply for "timeless" here.
