this put the many overwhelming thoughts i have abt my wardrobe into such a practical formula wow! it sounds silly but trying to get a comprehensive grasp on this stuff can be so stressful. like it’s not the most important thing in the world obv but when done right, clothes can bring a lot of joy. thanks for helping to eliminate the stress

I relate to you and I subscribe, loved your video¡¡¡👍

i think the important thing about basics that most people miss tho is they arent all the same. i have a favorite white t shirt that i found after trying out many other white t shirts from different places

i hate blazers and they always look so weird on me!! i don’t understand why they are always listed as basics and i’m so glad you finally spoke up about it!!!

This video just opened my eyes to how bad some thrift stores are. I’ve had the best luck with things like vintage ck and Levi jeans, sunglasses, swimsuits, and cardigans at my local savers thrift store. I feel like it just depends on the area you live in.

i never buy blue denim i don't like the color blue and it doen't fit my personal style :)

I avoid white. Im messy and the white clothes end up getting stained. If its stained then I dont wear it. So its a waste of money...

Really glad I found this video. I’m not a fan of a lot of trends especially black clothing

I think Forlest bras are great for not feeling like a bra! I found they weren't supportive enough for my G/H cups, but they make them in all sizes and I think you'd love them!😊

I’m a vegan of 13 years who still buys second hand wool, leather, down, and silk. I don’t know if I’m still allowed to call myself a vegan, but for 13 years I’ve never eaten an animal product (to my knowledge), adopted all of my animal companions instead of buying from breeders, volunteered for cat rescues/shelters, used cruelty free/vegan beauty and household products, and abstained from zoos, aquariums, and other animal entertainment. But I genuinely believe more harm is done to animals and the planet by buying most vegan leathers (though the plant leathers are getting much better) and polyester clothes/furniture, as well as trashing the existing leather, fur, feathers, and wool. I’ve been called out for being a hypocrite (mostly by non vegans actually) but I can reconcile it in my brain very easily. Reduction in harm is always the goal. (As an aside I never understood why vegetarians were supposed to be the enemy.) And along those lines, while I tend not to buy fast fashion now that I have the means to go sustainable for new clothes, I do have pieces from Banana Republic, Gap, and Nordstrom Rack that I have held onto since 2016-2018 era. If you can make a fast fashion piece last for 6-8 years or more in your closet that is inherently more sustainable than the slow fashion piece that was decluttered after a year or two.

I've been all afternoon watching your videos while doing things around my house. Thanks, algorithm! You have a new subscriber from Spain ❤

Los Angeles apparel make nice bralettes. (I find sizing up is better)

I don't like the concept of basics in general. It mainly stands for boring pieces in boring colours. I prefer statement pieces and will wear a patterned dress over a frilly blouse with neon coloured tights and plarform boots. Most "styling experts" will say that you need to build an outfit around a central piece, using basics to emphasize that single element of an outfit. But I look at that and I disagree. That's just the easy way out in my opinion and there is no fun in that at all. Of course it does work for many people, which is awesome, but that doesn't mean we have to sign it into law.

Hey I just have to say I appreciate your videos so much! I love putting on RUclips or a show while I do my makeup or paint etc, but influencer videos or fake feeling content has been super tiring to me. I appreciate so much that you just talk about what you love, and I can tell, are doing it for fun and because you genuinely love these things. Your videos are so relatable to real life, and that is refreshing. The text you put in at the beginning is relatable to all of us, and that’s another reason I love this. Never feel like you need to post something you’re uncomfortable with, but it’s so nice to watch something that feels real again! Your video on wardrobe gaps made me have a different view on my own wardrobe, and has helped me feel like I don’t need to buy things everyone else has, but just what I love. Anyways, thanks for making such cute fun videos! This makes youtube a fun place again!

It's so bizarre to me that somebody doesn't own those things, i don't even think about them, they always kind of existed in my wardrobe (no judgement whatsoever it's just surprising af). Out of the things mentioned i have several items of the said type (probably 5 pencil skirts, like 3 black turtlenecks for different temperatures, and an unspecified number of blazers etc). What I don't own are white tops (one tailored shirt for very formal occasions does it for me), bras (sports tops for me), leggings (i do own them but they are my home clothes due to their falling out of fashion) and probably Mary Janes (always wanted them, never found THE ONES i could buy/would fit me)

I prefer big cardigans over blazers any day. And wow, I agree with you on almost every item you mentioned!

YES. I don't own a lot of the standard "basics" because I have closely evaluated my closet and style and realized I don't need them. I bought my first blazer not long ago because I now work a director level position (but even then we are an 'office casual' dress code). I picked one in a color that really suits me, not the basic black, gray or navy. I like it with my work wardrobe but if I wasn't in the kind of position I'm in, I never would have bought it. I don't own many solid black items - black actually is a harsh color on most people but we are just taught it's a necessary basic. It also shows every bit of pet hair and lint badly. I do have a black dress that I love and a high quality material black fitted t shirt that I use to layer with, but when I wear these I usually layer them with other clothes or jewelry in colors that match my complexion better. White? We don't own white in this household. I don't wash clothes with bleach so it's way too hard to keep looking clean and white. I also don't own heels of any kind. They are bad for your feet, knees and body alignment in general so I don't care how good I think they look, I won't wear them nor any other kind of uncomfortable shoe.

Some basics I don’t own and for a reason: black sweater, white sweater, black long sleeve, linen or dress pants, blazer or leather jacket

I am no bra person as well. I don't have any at all. I was thinking of getting a bralette, but I don’t have a strong desire to do so yet

I completely relate to never owning/will never own blazers & pleated skirts. For me, I probably will never own white jeans, white overalls, trench coats (I don't live in the city), any mini skirt (I only own all maxi's...only short skirt I may consider is knee-length, but it can't be between knee and ankle. I hate those), any knee-high boot (unless it's specific for gardening or winter- not the trendy, stylish kind like Frye boots). I know this isn't a basic, but, will never own a Chanel, Dior, YSL, LV bag/anything because not into those luxurious brands. I just bought a 3.5 inch high heel that's block and has an ankle strap, otherwise, I will never buy a heel higher than a kitten heel unless it's a block. I also don't love turtlenecks on me which sucks because I love them, but I have a short neck, so I look like The Rock with them. I doubt I'd own cowboy boots. Love the fashion involved but I don't see a need to purchase cowboy hat and make an outfit since I don't live in a country/southern state and good quality ones are really expensive. I wouldn't wear it too often, so I probably wouldn't purchase. Last big thing is, since I don't work in corporate, I don't like trousers/pleated trousers. They're so chic, but not for me. I bought one pair at H&M when I was younger and never wore them afterwards. For some reason, as constricting as jeans can be, the trouser just feels too fancy for me, even if I wore them casually with a t-shirt, just not my thing. This goes also for any pants that end awkwardly above the ankle and aren't flowy. I know capris are in now and I see models wear them. I don't know/think I'll buy them. I like how it looks on other people, but I don't know if I'd like it in me more than just a trend. I don't like lace much either. Oh! One I MUST mention- the form fitting grandma cardigans everyone wears- I don't think I'll own one, never really liked the look on me. I've been debating buying a gray one, but I haven't been able to pull the trigger because I don't know if it's actually growing on me or not. We're seeing them in all colors but not a fan of them

I only wear skinny jeans to be honest. Any other jeans just look weird on me. I love my skinny jeans with chunkyer Chelsea boots and an verry oversized sweater!

If I hear trench coat as a basic one more time, I swear… 😅 They look sooooo costumey and ridiculous on me. Like… Inspector Gadget. I hardly have anything white in my closet… jeans aren’t really my thing… and post-pandemic me is done with leggings too (I wore too many for too long). 🤷‍♀️ My wardrobe has lots of higher neck tops with added interest (pleats, ties, fun buttons, cool sleeves, etc)… skirts, and dresses. And, now that it’s a carefully curated bunch, I LOVE my closet. ❤

Hi Phoebe, great video. If you are looking for a comfortable bra I would recommend the brand Wacoal. I recently bought one and can honestly say I have no angry red marks from wearing it.

Soma!! Literally all my bras for yearsss have been from there, and by that I mean literally 3 bras total within the past like 7 years, one which I wore until early this year and finally decided to get two new ones cuz my body changed. And they have a lot of sales

Blazers for me! So corporate and my job is not something I want to be reminded of outside of the office lol

You nailed it. the fashion mags lists are designed to help those that really have no clue. I don’t like tailored blazers, trench coats

you’re absolutely right about having other colors besides black and white as your “basics”! i’ve recently noticed that i’ve been leaning more towards dark greys rather than stark blacks, and it really made me think about how black and white don’t have to be flattering for everyone. btw is your hair naturally wavy like that or do you style it with heat? it’s so pretty <3

I’m so impressed by people who can style out of fashion pieces in more up to date ways!!

Totally agree about how universal basics don’t exist!! I wish I’d always thought of it this way It’s also cultural, my country is more informal than the US so blazers are very business, very formal, or part of a specific style. In most offices blazers aren’t a basic but jeans are. Most men have one (only one) for very formal events but most women don’t need any! I got a blazer when I had my first grown up job because I still looked 14 and wanted to look older. I didn’t 😭🤣 It was giving school uniform

Hi Phoebe! First of all thank u for the great content 🫶🏻 love all your videos! I agree with basically everything you say on this video, but I wonder if you ever feel “underdressed” wearing pants? Like if almost every woman around is wearing skirt of dress. Let’s say it’s some party or dinner, not like wedding or anything like that. Because I do feel like that sometimes 😅

I used to wear blazers in middle school and high school when business casual was really big, I know crazy, now I don’t like them at all (on me). Another "basic must have" I don’t own anymore is a white button up shirt. I had one for years and never wore it out, I didn’t feel like me when I put it on.

I think for bras maybe go to a mom and pop lingerie shop and get professionally fitted? I found my perfect bras by trying on every option at Victoria secret. I agree on the black and white. Those are from the winter palette and I’m warm and soft so I don’t own much in true black or true white. I do like versions of black and white from my color season though like cream and eelspresso brown. For me a basic is a very comfortable flowy dress in colors from the autumn palette.

Same here on the blazers, and I work in a corporate environment but I wear more feminine round neck type cropped jackets instead of blazers

I really liked this, and I definitely feel the same. Things that are "basics" that I don't own? As a dresses and skirts girl, I don't own any jeans, and am perfectly fine with it. I like pants, but mine are all trousers on the baggier side, maybe pleated, or sweat pants. Ballet flats, whether they are in or out of style I kind of have always hated them and they look terrible on me. And yeah, a blazer. I'm just not a blazer person. I love an oversized look, but I want it slouchy and cozy. I love like a men's tailored shirt as an oversized "menswear" item, but a blazer is just never looking good on me. This is the first video of yours I've seen and I'm happy to find it! Oh, had to edit to say I will never ever wear an underwire bra again.

Good reminder. Mini skirts (pleated, pencil, A-line) are definitely a staple to me. They are usually paired with a neutral top and tights, if chilly. Blazers are something I just Can't get into. I have one for job interviews but I've never felt the need to wear it out casually lol

Its easy to find bras that are soft and comfortable i wouldn’t wear one if I didn’t have to.

I would never have a tattoo

Almost everything you mentioned in this video is exactly my style 😅 Except for underwire torture devices. I still love your points though. I love black because it suits my coloring; tailored clothes feel good because I'm very short. Some of the basics you mentioned feel very androgynous, which I like because I'm genderfluid. I've been trying to branch out more and find myself turning to these types of lists, and this is a great reminder that a "basic" can be anything you want

Hi, please keep going creating content! soon your people will find you upload shorts of the main videos if needed!

I don't like black pants on me. They look heavy and severe and I have a hard time finding tops in my wardrobe that look good with them. Trench Coats... I'd rather spend money on a unique looking coat. I agree about fitted blazer. I don't like feeling stiff and trapped!

i also hate wearing bras and pretty much only wear sports bras. But my favorite is the Laura Ashley Sports Bra. It looks like a tight cami tank top and has removable pads. I get them in 3 packs from TJ Maxx for cheap. I wear them as bras or tank tops. I remove the pads or alternate the pads out with some from my other bras and all of my different pads give me different amounts of "push up"

I hate ballet flats. I will never purchase them. I think they are impractical and ugly. They aren't comfortable to walk in and give you joint problems if you do walk a lot on concrete. They look like you're trying to dress up as a young French girl. Yet. Supposedly every work wardrobe needs them.

I spent aaaaaages looking for bras to replace some Victoria's secret ones because the ones I bought in 2012 fit well, but they died after 10 years. And none of the ones I tried at any store I went into fit. I gave up and just bought soft cup longline bras from target, which are way comfy but don't hold the girls up. ThirdLove supposedly makes good ones of the kind you describe. I eventually found a high end french brand that I adore and have 10 wired contour ones that fit fabulously. So I would say something about how brands are run makes the bras not fit. I shopped for 5 years without success.

You look like daphne from the live action scooby do movie

I love how the red one top suits you, makes your face shine 💗💗

I feel like our eye is so trained to focus on proportions and I feel like skinny jeans just give absolutely no shape. I liked them with the boots but the brown pants were def better lol! The brown jeans in the boots just worked better to our newly trained eyes. Idk if that makes sense.

Love outfit 3

Plaid skirt with black turtleneck, black tights and boots.

This confirms my feeling that anything can look good on someone young and attractive. That’s how designers get away with promoting horrendous ideas.

love the work done w the true skinny jean - wondering how the cardi from outfit 5 would look w them? but also girl those brown ones cuuuuute but generous straight legs lol they r not even skinny adjacent lolol
