When you said “I don’t know a lot about fashion but I know what I’m inspired by” so very true. I just wear and pick out what catches my eye. Literally anything
yes.. to clarify, i don’t know every technical aspect about fashion as i didn’t go to fashion school, and i also don’t feel i need to now more than ever. fashion is not about fashion… IT IS ABOUT LIFE! i’m trying to be true to myself and the way i choose to express myself and cling on to the things that i know to be true to how i feel. that could be anything i feel inspired by!! i love how freeing it is to think this way :)
finding male/masculine fashion creators who actually have interesting style is SO HARDD! im trans and as much as i love feminine fashion and how it looks on other people, i feel so uncomfortable in it. i love your style and ur probs my fav fashion creator atm !!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. for my whole life my style and identity has fluctuated between masculine and feminine and it was very confusing to myself and the hardest thing to do was to just let myself explore that and come to terms with it. now im just trying to be authentic to myself and share that. love stories like these, much love!!
Hello. I'm in my sixties in age. I was in my teens in the 1970s. I liked British Punk Rock back then and dressed punk. I wore my hair dyed in the same colour as yours. But it was styled short and spiky then. Now i don't have much hair left and it's grey in colour. Be your authentic self. And enjoy your youth.
stop i’m gonna cry! thank you, without your generation, kids like me would have nothing. you all did it right back in the day, trying to embody that in any way i can ❤️
i’m struggling with figuring out like who i am and what i want out of my life & the first 5 min were actually very inspiring & insightful so ty for that
i finally clicked on your vids and i was expecting youtube to shill another person yammering about personal style or whatever the trendy buzzword in fashion is these days but i was pleasantly surprised. i appreciate how much you try to integrate "cool finds" into your day-to-day beyond just thrifting and having fun with fashion but also in your media consumption habits. i feel like people just run to social media and pick up whatever the trendy "underground" thing is at the moment and shill it whereever they can so it's cool to see someone who appreciates those things but also more importantly focuses on finding them organically and not through "easy" means or just because thrifting is like the cool thing to do at the moment. i feel like we have pretty similar taste in things so ofc i'm kind of biased towards and for your style but anyway =) i'm happy my algorithm actually gave me a cool creator for once and not yet another vaguely alternative person living in LA or new york. also if you somehow haven't, check out the hellbound heart by clive barker. i read it for the first time beginning of october in one sitting before i watched hellraiser for the first time and i gotta seriously stress that the book is sooo much better. i've also been recently going through everything but the girl's discography, absolute fire.
an angel gained their wings back (red hair IS BAAACK!!!!) your outfits are so so soooo dope bro!!! thank you for being the inspiration for people, your influence truly has great power
you have a really unique style it's really cool to see someone on youtube allowing himself to stray as far as you do from insta trends. makes the concept of outfit videos interessting
i really like the media segment on your videos like i wouldnt mind if it went for longer or you went more in depth about it. i think many of us here share similar taste and interests lol
I like your outfits. Thanks for sharing some of your inspiration too. I wanted to share more movies I've been watching because I've been binging them and have no one to talk with them about. Hopefully, others will like them too. "The Reflecting Skin" directed by Philip Ridley. More of a psychological horror about the disturbing messages we receive during our childhoods. I liked the atmosphere, the visuals, and the acting which was quite surreal and aggressive. "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)" Directed by Philip Kaufman, this remake is really good. The dark atmosphere and top-notch special effects make for a heart racer. Also, Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams' anxious chemistry sort of drew me in. "One Wonderful Sunday" Directed by Akira Kurasawa. This feels like an overlooked gem. Normally I wouldn't say I like the way het couples are portrayed in films, but the way Kurasawa managed to imbue a sense of dynamism and fluidity within this couple was very refreshing. Put it this way, the man in the film reveals himself emotionally in one scene more than most men do to their girlfriends through the entire relationship. I loved the push and pull, give and take, and the way the couple brought a sense of child-like spirit to what is a very conservative time with strict gender roles (After all, it is Japan in the post-war 1940's). Overall, it left me with a sense of hope. Quick music take: I've been listening to XTC's Skylarking album. My favorite songs are definitely "Grass", "The Meeting Place" and "Ballad for a Rainy Day". Also, I've been listening to Yes's Closer to the Edge. There are only three songs, but each one is great. Anyways this got long. Thanks for letting me share.
As a relatively newly-hatched transmasc enby who LOVES to thrift, I find your videos very helpful as I figure out what I actually like to wear as the real me. 😊 Thanks so much for the inspo!
P.S. Have you seen “Harold and Maude”? It’s one of my favourites. (Plus, your style occasionally reminds me of Bud Cort’s wardrobe in that film.) CW: depictions of fake suicide attempts ruclips.net/video/5mz3TkxJhPc/видео.htmlsi=D5m7rZfK8cX3EtoF
thank you sm for the beth gibbons recommendation, sand rivers is such a fascinating song :) p. s. youre one of my fav fashion creators like ever and i get sm inspo and recs from you
Had to pause the video because I had to listen to the Beth Gibbons Album but anyways: Paul dano, that´s who you reminded me of! it was buggin me for agessss. Also the album was really good:)) love your vids
Great job Colin! I want that trench video... I just thrifted an 80s dark emerald green trench coat from Fleet Street today and I'm obsessed. I love how you styled yours in this video.
as a professional artist, meaning that this is my job and i studied in order to get the knowledge i have, i do not share your view of art, i think it's incomplete, since it is usually the better understanding of an art what pushes you to explore what hasn't been done, and the more you know about other people work, the more you will develop yours, but the technical aspect is really important as well, think of it as the language you speak, and your ideas are the feelings you wanna express.
since halloween is just around the corrner, here are some movie recommendations (maybe nothing new, just found your channel recently): conventional horror: hereditary, sinister, it follows body horror: videodrome (and almost all cronenberg movies) japanese horror: audition, cure psychedelic horror (if there is such a genre): mandy and a special music recommendation: sea change by beck
I am so grateful for finding your channel... or did it find me? just gotta say your media sections got me into watching loads of movies, and now im a chronic letterboxd user. And your sense of fashion is just so close to mine that at this point you are the best inspiraton for fits :DDD
I’m in one of those transitionary periods where I’m trying a ton of new things and most of my fits are complete dogshit rn, but at least I have these videos to keep me from going completely off the deep end…
Not related what so ever but I love watching your videos whilst crocheting. Your videos have this calming feel to them and you’re interesting to listen to. So thanks for the entertainment! :))
Im SO GLAD AmERICANS LOVE NICK CAVE its amazing to think that nick cave (who helped evolve A LOT of the australian alt rock- goth-y scene) is listened to around the world im so proud of him and im like 15 HAHA growing up in the same city nick cave did WILL be my biggest flex
i absolutely adore your videos and i love hearing you speak. you have an incredible perspective on life! love the media segments!!!! begging you to read a stephen king book if you haven't; i think you'd love them. i'm currently reading carrie but the shining is so good. alsoo frankenstein is a work of art and one of my favorites!!
love love love the intro and never stop with the media. you inspire me and i love finding new music. and yesss Halloween is so good i need to watch it again!! and omggg Alien is sooo good and you need to watch the new one! in love with your style and your minddd you're so swag! (;
I love your style and taste in media sm and the red hair comeback is perfect! If you ever need something to watch you should watch “the passenger“ if you haven’t already, I watched it a couple days ago and it was really good, it’s like a mix of horror and thriller more of a thriller though but the lighting and “vibe“ throughout the movie was amazing.
absolutely rocking that hair color btw! i love love love the scream franchise, the movies are amazing. also i checked out the movie "Funny games" that you mentioned last time, that was mindblowing to watch, the whole hopelessness that characters felt, the way actors portrayed their emotions, it all was so good. also i was amused by the scene they filmed, it was a whole ahh 10 minute scene without any cuts, i was genuinely impressed love your style and color palette, oversized jackets are basically your signature piece(or i just associate those with you). also definitely copied and pasted the blazer and jeans combo to wear to college today, paired with boots, absolutely timeless, comfy and stylish at the same time thank you for your vids, recommendations and some fashion inspo, we all appreciate that!!
What I know about fashion is as long as people can tell I’m some kind of queer I know I’m doing it right. I don’t care if you think I’m a twink or a lesbian, as long as I serve fruit I’m winning
Broo ive literally not heard anyone talk about Wild God on the internet since it was released like brooo thank you 😭😭 i went to their concert for wild god and it was reaaaluyyy good but i saw like two young people there in total lmaoo but ofc i dont mind that their audience is generally older i was just going a little insane😭😭
nothing will ever look as good on me as it does on a tall skinny white boy....
It depends on ur body proportions.
Same here 😓
I may be a tall skinny white boy but I will never look as good as a dyed wolf cut with piercings and tattoos and a nirvana look
As a short guy it hurts a lot
don’t worry imma still be dressing the same when i’m fat and old

I felt so one with that matcha
OBSESSED with this new background and your hair
you aren’t telling us what to wear, your outfits are an inspiration for our own outfits 👍🏻
Exactly. I wear a lot of bright colors or pastel clothes but Colin's outfits inspires me a lot lately for the structure of the outfit.
you get it :)
That beth gibbons album always. Miss beth singing about her love and sadness...
the red hair is AMAZING it suits you so well and makes you look so much brighter and u def have a more powerful presence with it
0:46 the dissolve .. so twin peaks
COLIN what are your halloween costume recommendations?!!
out of season is the perfect fall album. i just listened to it recently and i can’t get over how good it is
Me again. I saw Nick Cave live in concert in 1982. He fronted his band Birthday Party then. He's incredible, and such an individual.
I’ve never seen a color so bold make so much sense that it could be growing out the scalp, like okay rihanna 😝!!!
real ones remember red rihanna
omg YESSSS DEATH BY THRIFTING UPLOAD
AYYYYYYY
i finally clicked on your vids and i was expecting youtube to shill another person yammering about personal style or whatever the trendy buzzword in fashion is these days but i was pleasantly surprised. i appreciate how much you try to integrate "cool finds" into your day-to-day beyond just thrifting and having fun with fashion but also in your media consumption habits. i feel like people just run to social media and pick up whatever the trendy "underground" thing is at the moment and shill it whereever they can so it's cool to see someone who appreciates those things but also more importantly focuses on finding them organically and not through "easy" means or just because thrifting is like the cool thing to do at the moment. i feel like we have pretty similar taste in things so ofc i'm kind of biased towards and for your style but anyway =) i'm happy my algorithm actually gave me a cool creator for once and not yet another vaguely alternative person living in LA or new york.
also if you somehow haven't, check out the hellbound heart by clive barker. i read it for the first time beginning of october in one sitting before i watched hellraiser for the first time and i gotta seriously stress that the book is sooo much better. i've also been recently going through everything but the girl's discography, absolute fire.
an angel gained their wings back (red hair IS BAAACK!!!!) your outfits are so so soooo dope bro!!! thank you for being the inspiration for people, your influence truly has great power
you have a really unique style it's really cool to see someone on youtube allowing himself to stray as far as you do from insta trends. makes the concept of outfit videos interessting
paul dano in lms is always gonna be the fucking vibe
I’m thinking, “ What does he wear in the summer”
As someone who dresses similar to him, we either wear it all year around and risk heat stroke or don't go outside lol
Same thing basically but with jorts instead of long pants lol.
i really like the media segment on your videos like i wouldnt mind if it went for longer or you went more in depth about it. i think many of us here share similar taste and interests lol
okay noted! i never know if people want it more bite sized or an actual discussion tehehe
the plaid pants outfit i could totally see in a vivinne westwood runway
one upping yourself every timeee i love your editing here + the chill/quiet intros! also that trench is everything and im so jealous
I love how your hair is like an accessorie it adds to your style/ your outfits both the red and the black color and the cut is literally to die for
yeah i missed having the red be my main accessory to my outfits i felt incomplete without it!!
A really good book that reminds me of fall is trapped by Micheal Northrop and another book by him called gentleman which has mystery 🕵️
oh to live somewhere with good thrift stores
Conner keeps me in my pinterest, horror, cinephile, collector, crimey villain personality, and I love it ❤
I LOVED THE MOTIVATIONAL SPEACH DAWG IT WAS AWESOME
the polkadot sweater??? speechless…saddened…that it is not mine…
The casual lounge in the trench is everything ✨
I found your channel today, and I’m so glad I did!
I like your outfits. Thanks for sharing some of your inspiration too. I wanted to share more movies I've been watching because I've been binging them and have no one to talk with them about. Hopefully, others will like them too.
