Why your Style Sucks & how to improve it immediately

[@thePowerPlant]

HOT TIP: Almost better than keeping your body's measurements, is measuring your favorite piece of clothing and using that as a reference. I'll measure the shoulders, pit-to-pit, and hem of shirts and waist, rise, inseam, and hem of pants. I have a favorite fitting shirt and pair of pants I use as a base reference for all my possible purchases.

[@kalyasaify]

you're brilliant! thx man :3

[@flufftronable]

Yes, and you can even make clothes based on this.

[@kayleesimmers]

1. Find your measurements. 2. Start simple, then work towards more complicated outfit items. 3. Understand how to take care of your hair , skin and scent. Personal hygiene / grooming is a must! 4. Document your style journey.

[@Return_of_the_Dude]

5. become a nudist, skin is the only fit that matters

[@AnnaBananana93]

I like #2. In my most recent revision of style, I started with a black turtleneck, black belt with gold detail and black wide leg pants and snake print loafers. I could work from there and build more complex/ interesting outfits from there!

i agree so much about having clothes that actually fit you properly. for the longest time i could never find pants that fit me and were my style so i got pants that were my style, but two sizes too big. it just made my outfits look bad and looked weird.

[@MetaBassy]

Every time I find a good fitting pair of trousers I'm so happy I have to tell everybody I've found something that is long enough to reach my feet ahah

[@malignm1857]

When I shop for clothes it’s like I have a mental block on what I should buy ultimately leading to not buying it at all. I live in NYC and walking the streets you see so many cool fits and here I am wearing majority black.

[@grmancool]

there's nothing wrong with wearing majority black! if you're curious and your budget allows you can experiment with color pieces until you find what makes you feel great, you have a huge bonus in that black compliments almost everything!

[@visual1155]

Brother. The power of returns. I never ultized this but I’ll buy pretty much anything I think looks sick. But once u put it on I realize if it’s for me or not. I buy a lot of shit I think is dope but somethings just don’t look good on me. Experiment get crazy. Fashion is like music. All subjective

[@Riuni]

I loved this video you’re doing gods work lol! I’d also say that getting your favorite clothes tailored (if you can afford it) is a great way to look more polished. I love getting dresses and skirts taken in at the waist to make it look like they were made for me. It costs me ~$15 per piece, and it’s a great hack for when thrifted clothes are a little too big.

[@tusmus4890]

Great points, I'd also add that copying other people, or even some runway (not exact pieces, but the ideas they display) is a good way to learn styling. Yes of course you will wear some stuff you might not enjoy a year (or week) later, but you will learn from trying.

[@pjf2193]

The problem is with waist measurements on trousers is they're often inaccurate. I can fit a 32 in some brands and a 36 in others.

[@-Ehrenbruder-Sam-]

Thats true!☝

[@benjimarshallbra]

I’ve been into fashion for years and my styles changed all the time. I love seeing my change of style. I see old photo of my style love some aspects and hate other aspects.

[@adwoa1aankamah205]

When I first started my fashion journey, I kind of jumped quickly into wearing unique pieces which was cool at the time but now I kind of dress more Basic not because I like it so much but rather because of insecurities about my body and stuff. I’ve had a long battle with finding pants that fit perfectly but I’m starting to get the hang of it

[@gabrielleaquino5060]

Really appreciate your content and the research, critical analysis and overall thoughtfulness that goes into it all! You touched on this a bit already, but what I would love to learn more about (whether in video specifically dedicated to this or maybe interwoven in different videos over time) are your thoughts on self-love and the emotional, mental, psychological and social components that go into style. I think there's so much to be said about how much learning to know and love one's self is a fundamental part of any style journey, yet feels like an often missed conversation or isn't as central to conversations about style as it could/should be. Anyway much respect!

man this video made me wanna make a vid about this too!! 1. indigo jeans (has the most utility of any clothing item. item one must be pants. a person isnt dressed without pants) 2 quality plain tshirt. recommend black or white 3 canvas sneaker. 4 three piece suit. 5 white dress shirt 6 chelsea boot. with these 6 item you have an insane amount of optionality. everything here works with everything else here and i cant think of a better basis for a capsule wardrobe.

[@태이씨]

The biggest problems with measurements is that sizes are all different in all brands even if the measurements seem like yours. It's especially hard to shop online when you need to try many things on before you find what fits you.

[@TheHoneyBadgerDUDE]

The problem for me is just the vast disparity between my measurements, the stated measurements on the products, and the actual measurements when measured. How do they get away with this?

[@davidleemoveforlife6332]

Really smart video. I'm an old man and have always been interested in style, beyond fashion. I worked in an industry that was extremely superficial and needed to build a personal brand to maintain credibility without going broke by investing in the occasional (usually 2nd hand) item by Prada or Zegna or Armani, but mostly got by in black t-shirts and black jeans for the better part of 30 years in the film industry. I like the way you approach the subject. I suppose to some degree I still believe in style as a form of personal expression, even beyond the outrageous corporate brainwashing and materialism we're faced with every day.

Had to learn the fit thing. I started hitting the gym 3 years ago. And just recently a year ago got into fashion. Realized how stupid I look in skinny jeans weighing 240. When I was 140 it was okay. I’m 6’4 btw.

[@Jollopukki2]

friend , you are my favourite fashion channel now ! so informative and fun !!

[@DrewJoiner]

Thank you so much❤️

[@DominiqueRamseyArt]

You're right about the fit! I tried on a skirt last night and noticed that it bulges out on the sides...I don't like it and my view of the entire fit was ruined because of it. On the opposite end, I don't like anything too tight and my confidence increased when I started wearing baggier clothing.

[@anthem6156]

The first tip about measuring yourself works definitely only for men. Because women's clothes aren't the size it says on the label and the size can vary within same label. But works for men for sure!

[@tiramisu7339]

if you buy online, the measurements of the clothes is more often than not in the description of the item. I'm a woman and when I look at clothes online I always look at the dimensions of the piece. And while shopping in person you can just try it on.

[@anthem6156]

@@tiramisu7339 Oh thanks! I never considered trying out clothes before buying them. That's an awesome tip! Really, there is no online store that tells the measurements of an individual item, and women's size 27 jeans aren't always 27 inches. Bras that claim to be 30 aren't 30 etc. Sometimes they tell the sample size that the model is wearing, but how many people are the exact same size as the model?

[@Jellofayce]

[@SpriteGod0]

If anybody is on the shorter side like me and wants to find some good pants I’d recommend Uniqlo. They have some really nice ankle pants with good stretch and comfortable material and it’s on the affordable side. Another brand I really like for pants is Abercrombie, they’ve recently stepped up their game their 90s jeans, loose work pants and linen pants are extremely comfortable but they could cost up to 80 dollars. I’d recommend getting them when they are on sale but I can’t express how much I love Abercrombie’s pants because again I’m short so finding pants that sit above the shoe isn’t always the easiest but these pants go really well with a pair of doc martens, loafers or even sneakers. again uniqlo for linen or dress ankle pants and abercombie for jeans, loose pants and linen pants. their linen shirts are also comfortable and stylish!

[@MrJuan_Vzla]

What do you think about matching the clothes to our skin color? I'm renewing my wardrobe so I'm watching some fashion channels to dress more consciously, and that's one thing that I think has helped me.

[@myfriend9194]

I don't know if this is mentioned in the video; I haven't finished the video yet, but can we include not buying clothing for the sake of having it? This summer, I've had trouble with the simplest thing: trying to find tank tops to wear that fit my style. This may sound like I'm just really picky, but I like to believe that my style is really specific, and if I go too cute or too basic, my wardrobe loses its cohesiveness. So far, I've bought a few tank tops that I found cute, but they don't really fit my style, and the other day I saw some tanks online and felt like THOSE were the tanks that I should've been buying at the beginning of summer. It's not just tank tops either; like bottoms and shoes, I find straying away from something like a set of shilloettes or specific styles makes your style not seem like yours. I don't know if I'm explaining that well, but it's as if someone else bought the clothing item instead of you, and because of that, your style looks less cohesive and almost unfinished. Basically, conscious buying/shopping.

[@33Jenesis]

My weight dictates what i wear. The less I weight, the more options i have. To have more options and looking good is my motivation to exercise and eat right. I like classics with slight twist. I also like comfort and easy care fabric. I am trying not to buy more but shop my closet (and sell my large closet). I care about my looks and enjoy looking good. The joy is all for my enjoyment, not to impress anyone.

[@AnnaBananana93]

Same! I can really only wear dresses and tights at higher weights. At lower weights, I love shorts/ pants/ dresses/ skirts/ belts EVERYTHING.

I would add in the grooming section: take care of your hands and feet. I used to overlook this aspect of grooming and because I have a manual job my nails would always look dry, with cuticles and dry skin around that I would bite on, it was really pulling my style down.

[@DrewJoiner]

I’ve been going through this as well. It depends on the item but for bottoms my jeans shrink a bit when I wash them and expand when I wear them for prolonged periods of time. I honestly don’t have a solution but I’d steer away from buying more and new items with each weight change
