      @@jjdank4475 Honestly, it's everyone. Everyone is gonna be forced to learn about MANY styles. Then, apply each style for appropriate moments. I predict in 20 years, there will be no strict hard categories like "anime fan". For you to be considered "cool" - you must know and can rep more than one category WELL.

      Hardest thing in the world to do. Forcing yourself to be creative in one genre or extracting everything out of it is literally what artists do and honestly not everyone is an artist.

      They say the more options you have, the harder it is to make good decisions. With so many things to buy, I feel like this applies to clothing as well. Putting that limit on yourself will decrease the quantity, but will greatly increase the quality of your style. Like Reggie said, it becomes about that constant and incremental refinement of a style. I like that framework.

    I think it would be great if you had a “how to style” episode. Maybe a bit more in-depth feature of some looks. I know this might get dated quickly but it gives people some ideas of how to branch out.

    • @examensexamen
      @examensexamen 5 лет назад +6

      sclr good idea man but don’t worry about it getting dated since Japanese Street Style for most of the time is a niche style and is divided into different subcultures so as long as you get the underlying philosophy of the style, you can keep doing it for years :) well for the most part lol

    If anyone has seen the movie The Warriors, (if you haven't, do so IMMEDIATELY!)that's a great way to describe japanese fashion. All those different gangs in the movie had their own dress code. The Baseball Furies all dressed like baseball players. The Orphans all wore beat up army green shirts and jackets. The Punks wore overalls. The Turnbull AC's were all bald and rode on top of a school bus. One gang dressed up like the some 1950s Mowtown singers. The asian gang was dressed like the Keebler Elves for some reason. You get the point.

  • @ejakobs9881
    @ejakobs9881 5 лет назад +2

    I like hearing somebody articulate the curation aspect of clothing. Things become much more interesting and hold more value with that mindset. You stop haphazardly impulse buying t-shirts and whatnot. Instead of saying "Oh cool thing, gimmie buy it," you start asking yourself, yeah this is cool looking, but is it DOPE? You picture your wardrobe, color schemes, body type, etc. Then when you come along a piece that effortlessly flows with your personal criteria, those are the REAL dope pieces. It doesn't matter if it's new, old, branded or not. The feeling of finding that thing that "fits perfectly" is like finding a gem.

    • @anachronismic
      @anachronismic 5 лет назад +3

      I think describing japanese style as one way is kind of a misnomer. There's a whole bunch of style catagories within it, and japanese style is really an approach to style in general. There will be silhouettes that are common that you wouldn't see as much outside of japan, but really it comes down to finding out more specifically what the style is called and doing the digging.

    • @robotoboy30
      @robotoboy30 2 года назад

      Japanese style comes from a more natural, and older style of clothing. It uses baggier clothing to create boxy silhouettes, and utilizes classical Japanese attributes. Tapered capris for instance resemble work hakama from back during the Taisho era. While stuff like happi has a boxy drop shoulder tube sleeved look which is why shirts tend to be longer, and more boxy.
      It's basically a massive fusion of modern clothing with classic design philosophy. You can even blend classical pieces into a Japanese style wardrobe, like wearing a happi with capris etc. The other thing to keep in mind is jewelry. Japan is HUGE on accessorizing. Without jewelry the fit can often look too plain and homely. A good pendant style necklace and bracelet can go a LONG way.
      Japanese fashion isn't nearly as focused into a lifestyle as reggie says, though I agree with him on most stuff here. The important thing he mentioned about the pieces is extremely true. Japanese fashion is contingent on creating looks with standout pieces. Adding a piece utilizing aizome can bring out more earthy colors. Graphic tees can highlight and bring a center piece to the look, and even oversized Hawaiian shirts can create a a really unique look.
      Like Japanese street fashion is relatively nuanced because of it's classical influence but once you understand classical Japanese clothing design it all starts to make a lot of sense.

    Great video. I actually went through my warddrobe recently and cleaned it up, tried to Marie Kondo it and get rid of clothing that I don't actually use or vibe with. I'm at the point now where I have clear cut ideas of what I need in my warddrobe and not some branded items Ex. Simple low cut white sneaker, a beige coat and a more formal belt. I've definitely become more cautious of shopping. Questioning myself whether it actually fits me as a person and my style which I would describe is basic but a dash of loud, meaning that I mainly keep everything else plain to highlight the one other garment I'm wearing.
    I believe I've refined my warddrobe to what I think is the best representation of me.
    Surprising a lot of uniqlo UT's are representative of my interests ones I mainly have are the Kaws collabs and Manga collaboration but also a few others that I vibe with like the brands collection with the Polaroid cameras and roland music. I take those T-shirts as an expression of my own interests and therefore I guess create my own lifestyle.
    Thankyou for listening to my T.E.D talk Haha.

    Yo Reggie, I'm interested in your take on "normcore" in Japan. My impression from living in Japan for half a year was that being stylish is simply the accepted norm. But most people, male and female, tend to wear more basics (uniqlo, GU, muji, etc.), which is kinda what オシャレ usually refers to. Most young people aren't so deep into a particular subculture. I think of this as almost the Japanese version of "normcore," even though it actually bears little resemblance to normcore in the west, having many differences in terms of what cuts, color palettes, and accessories are popular. But it still has that Japanese layering sensibility.

    • @THECASUALco
      @THECASUALco  5 лет назад +5

      This is more economic than by choice. After the crash in the 90s brands like Uniqlo emmerged as a cheaper alternative to the vintage/curated era before. As a result スマート was more preferable than subculture and only super diehards continued the hardcore movements. This resulted in an "overdress" period where those in subculture had to further distinguish themselves from smart fashion aka normcore. This is where brands like Undercover, Bape become successful and lady styles like Gyaru and Ganguro emmerged.

    I'm a uni student in the UK and my particular uni is more international than most, so there's plenty of different cultures. A lot of the Chinese and Japanese students here have a fashion style that I absolutely love but don't know how to pull it off myself, since it's very clear it has Asian roots. So for example wide pants that look almost like a long flowy skirt, lots of layering and overcoats/cardigans that are very long and 'upside down U' shaped (as opposed to my clothes that taper at the waist). If you could talk about the dos and donts of non asians wearing Asian inspired clothing and how to adopt it without coming across as weeby or cultural appropriation, that would be cool

    When I lived near Tokyo, it was really easy to see that 'live your lifestyle' philosophy. It's really interesting, the tribes that come from that idea. Though I don't know if these subcultures are such a Japanese-specific thing, I mean we had the hipsters and emos and if we go back more, punks and rockers in the west.
    Maybe it's the fashion industry, not the streets, that's lacking it?

    • @THECASUALco
      @THECASUALco  5 лет назад +3

      Certainly the past in the west was dictated by this until it became a part of the fashion industry. The Japanese kept these subcultures at the forefront while in the west they slowly became even more niche than they already were.
      For instance in the west when we see "emo style" we may think its off-putting or weird. In Japan it's far more natural and/or accepted as a genre or lifestyle.

  • @coldfingers5915
    @coldfingers5915 3 года назад

    Strange as it may sound I've come to the conclusion that personal style is defined by what you can't wear even moreso than by what you can. If a person can wear anything and tries to be ultra-versatile in his aesthetics then I don't really see where THEY are in all of this. To me style is about limitations and knowing(or trying to find out) what your limitations are but on the flipside, what your strong points are. There's a ton of garments that I would admire on someone else but would never pull off myself and it's not a question of having confidence but rather feeling like myself in what I wear.

      Remember to start with a lifestyle and refine it to your tastes. Someone who like hip-hop and punk should be able to mix those two into something unique BUT it has to be done well in order to appreciate it.
      Also, it's just a perspective. That's why your style is your own. Do what you want. But at least now there's a bit of insight
