"Fashions fade, style is eternal." - YSL
Classify agreed
The quote is untrue. Fashions last a season or so, and style is typically associated with an era or epoch.
@@agx502 style is referring to your personal style xx
@@agx502 r/whoosh
@@agx502 what a narrow minded take in reaction to such an elegant quote
awesome looks!
"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months." Oscar Wilde 1854 - 1900.
Nothing's new right!!!
It's like high school all over again, people are choosing to look (ans act) the same because they are afraid :(
So true. That's why you gotta give credit to those kids that are unique and different
S/once told me I couldn't wear two different patterns (of different sizes) on different articles of clothing. My response?
No... YOU, can't pull this off. But I can.
@@3MZFE YEAH!
Rocky told no lies!!!
love your channel bro you just know IT whatever it is
Reggie you are cool. Love the channel
Style is a art form fashion is style industrialized
Dev. B? Nice
Fashion is an art, the fact that it’s industrialized is just capitalism
Golden video.
Reggie got me HYPED yo. I was never able to make this concept tangible but somehow he managed to say everything Ive been feeling for so long.
fuckin preach
thanks reggie
I hope people look at japanese street fashion in japan is pure and authentic of how they express how they feel. I hate ig style pages. But like a needle in a haystack the pure will outshine brighter
Facts bro
This video is needed for so many people, style has gotten to be about rocking what people think others would like to see. People have forgotten how to actually have THEIR OWN STYLE.
What's good Reggie,
I'm definitely a fan of your channel, lots of valuable gems you drop about the fashion game. I'm starting a brand and I would definitely like to get your opinion on some of my pieces.
Real talk
Reggie dropping knowledge.
My favorite people are the older folk who jdgaf and will basically wear whatever.
so you must be super normcoreish
Can we get a video about how NASA has become a streetware brand?

BLAKE LINDER LOL WEARS THAT HUNTER SHIRT ALWAYS
The dude who called you a hypebeast for liking yoji is a real bruh moment
You're correct. Hypebeasting is ruining Streetfashion and sneaker scene.
Damn you reminded me of my younger self's style, I was trend setting with some (probably sketchers) bulky ass shoes that had spikes on the soles, and that's like 10yo me, 4yo me wore denim jackets and big ass hoodies
This is what the internet has done it pushes everyone together, people even look the same on Instagram, not the clothes they wear they actually look alike.
Fuck.
Refinement. Repression. Style. Awkwardness. Judgement. Discrimination. A "set look". A "personal style". Rules. Colour palletes. Brands. Logos. Trends. Gender driven clothes. Functionality. Haters.
"Fashion to me is like music, i wouldn't only listen to one genre. So why would i wear only one style of clothing".
LOVE EVERYTHING. EMBRACE IT. OWN IT. Even if people think you look trash. You get one life. LIVE IT.
Stay humble and true to the only person who's opinion matters about what you wear YOURS 💜👌✌
fashion is the juice, style is the sauce.
I love your approach on personal style, especially where you said that the way we dressed when we were younger may have changed or evolved as we get older - so true! I have changed and refined the way I dressed from my 20's and keep it updated and relevant now in my late 40's. I have always told myself that I dress for me and no one else. That's how we should all feel about it!
PREACH! Guidelines over rules forever. I find it more difficult to follow a trend than dressing the way I want. I'd rather live with the stigma of "looking different" than "looking traditional." I like streetwear but wow is it washed out now. I hope (through my questionable wardrobe) I can spread the ideology and help people re-learn the original meaning of "wear what you want" because we are dooming ourselves.
Streetwear is kinda boring now. I like Japanese street fashion because the looks are crazy. I have a more "all-black" look to my closet but as an onlooker, everything is starting to melt together. Spread your word sis.
From plain old menswear mixed with streetwear I'm finally on my first real personal style journey/phase: oversized and super layered minimalism with some bright colours here and there
@saucyrisi I hear you!! And same here. That's why I started my channel. To find people who share the same mentality and are currently on their own journey as well. I wish you luck on your style journey!
My dad keeps telling me "put on clothes your age !" because I LOVE vintage, taking "old people clothes" and mix it with trends
Favorite vid from you so far, people need to remember that expensive/popular doesn’t make something cool in your eyes
As an adult, I had a teen boy ask me if I had any Gucci, Prada, or Supreme. When I said I didn’t, he asked his friend how can anyone be a man without any. I just chuckled. Oh, IG generation...
You need a podcast bro! I would love to listen to you while I’m at work 😅 lol
"going places only you can go" What a great way to define personal style. Great Video as always :)
This is one of the best videos on personal style no matter how big or little you are into fashion
This channel inspires me so much. every time I feel bored or losing interest in fashion and I watch one of those videos, I get remind of why I like fashion to begin with, and that I should not be afraid to experiment. Thank you!
If it wasn't for Instagram 80% of people wouldn't have a clue
Rid the sizzler
Man the way you phrase things and cobble together overarching thoughts is always a sight to behold
Potato Sir BIG FACTSSSSS
Man you hit everything spot on. I think everyone who is into clothing should watch this video it gives such a good, positive, and realistic approach to finding your personal style. We need more fashion youtubers like you.
Fashion should be self expression, to me it is a second layer of skin that shows my interests, I’m to broke to waste my money on every “hot brand” mix and match personally.
My style haven’t changed overall , I just wear comfy clothes hh
Isn't cutting off the back of the sacai making it more personal if you prefer it without it?
GREAT video my man. Really good tips there
This is one of the best videos you've put out. Well said sir.
I blame every brand that does the "i know this is ugly but you know i paid alot for them" looks... you know which one's I'm talking bout.
Wow. Your words are honestly very inspiring and you are an eloquent speaker about a very amorphous topic. I loved the part about how people will think your style is for them and it's not. It's a great point. Also, I've been incorporating more personality into my clothing choices these days, and the part about dressing to look good being a boring cop out really hit me in the feels. You definitely earned a sub with this vid.
I love old bape Reversible cut and sews. Especially when people don't realize its a "hype brand". My personal style is a low key reversible Bape crewneck and some nice pants and shoes. I'm pretty boring though. The way Bape is talked about now, at least I wasn't just in it for the clout lol
This was refreshing. Thank you.
instagram just fucked up everything: it fucked up sneakers, fashion, travelling and festivals. Nowadays people don't even care about travelling or festivals if they can't post it on instagram.
I think a lot of people need to find their own balance between being influenced and inspired by clothing, while finding pieces that reflect who they are as a person.
Too many people are getting caught up in trends, and it takes away the authenticity we are looking for while we try to express ourselves through clothing.
Amazing vid as always! A lot of people needed to hear this.
Unpopular opinion: you don’t need to know the history of a brand, as long as YOU like the piece
This is why I love the Tokyo street fashion scene. People generally don't give a fuck.
Who is clout??
Hive mind is everywhere!
A lot of quotable gems dropped in this video!
The best video I have seen on this channel yet. Thank you.
This was beautiful !
Great advice! Everyone should watch this video
Amazing video Reggie!
I work in the industry. And I love the message in this.
Great advice bro keep it up
I'm gonna go shopping today and couldn't have watched this video at a better time.
couldn't have come at a better time for me. Refining my personal style these days and it's such a rewarding process. Finally building a small sneaker collection, realizing what actually works for me and what doesn't. I'm down for the journey.
Best video you’ve done so far. It’s refreshing to see younger people understanding, or rather discerning style vs fashion. Well said friend!
I understand the point from 3:00 onwards. It’s just that some people have plain-type taste, my own style a lot like that jeans and boots picture. Otherwise it’s just being different for the sake of it, people who look common ‘not being true to themselves’. It’s also a kind of economic problem, too. Most people can’t be bothered to explore the realm of odd designers, those listicles help those that want to explore a normal-looking style through common pieces. That said, I appreciate your viewpoint. Thumbs up, keep it coming Reggie
Two words ...Thrift Shop ... People don't have to explore designers ...just figure out what their style is .... I live in NYC .. if someone said "the guy wearing blue jeans a black/white tee shirt " that is almost every guy who walks by ....
and this is why I stopped watching all sneakerhead channels that converted into hypebeast channels 🤦🏻♂️
Same. Weartester and hes kick are tge only sneaker channels I like because they know their shit and don't stick with the hype brand
Thaanx Reggie, you r telling what my understanding from fashion is the right one (as an industrial designer its a good sign for me!!) :D Just go with the flow dont bother to look at other ppl to much just wear the stuff you see n you feel instantly attracted to. And dont be afraid!!
I've started designing my own clothes so I can express myself on 100 %. I don't really care about what people think of me, because I interact with these strangers for a while, sometimes a literal second and then won't meet them ever again in my life, so why try to appeal to them... Also as you said, no matter what you wear, someone will find it bad and somebody will like it. Always.
This was well-needed
Being fashionable or trendy isn’t necessarily style. Style is about taste, and the talent and eye to make your self stand out for all the good reasons. Not because it’s what everyone else wears, or what a celebrity wore. 10 people can wear the same outfit, but only one will give it justice and own it. It’s delusional to think that wearing designer brands only means you have style. No!
Always agree with you reggie. It's like we have the same brain haha
what a great video so inspiring :) !!!!!!!!!!
speak for ya self boyo
Another great discussion. Bums me out how many people just want to wear exactly what’s “normal.” And price is not really any excuse, because as others have said, it’s very easy to find more “unusual” looks at almost any thrift store for very cheap. I’m not someone who likes attention very much, but I’ve always wanted to do things differently in my own way, whether that’s art or fashion or whatever. If you aren’t creating something new for yourself or others, what are you doing?
You go reggie baby!!
Hey, thanks for inspiring......
Definitely I agree on that fashion is the journey of stylistic self-discovery. What I struggle with is the fact that this self-discovery is in certain form dependent of the economic situation. Great video as per usual.
I live in NYC..not sure where you are ..you can always find great stuff in the thrift shop
@@clarkclarke I live in Buenos Aires, quite harder to thrift, but doable anyways. My main issue is the experimentation factor.
To be fair though cutting off the back of the shoe is a reflection of personal style no?
That's exactly what I was thinking....🤔😁
😶 if you're cuttin' shit off cuz you hate it', that's not "personal style"...
that's:
"i hate em', but i'll wear em' cuz i'm a follower, but i hate em' so much i gotta change em' somehow... i think they're ugly af"
not the same thing.
not even close.
nice try tho.
Yes, let's return to individualism
So glad the Undercover Daybreak's weren't hyped up like the sacai's ..made it easy to buy both Colorways and the shoes are dope af 🔥🔥
Amen! I love that I was able to buy both, then buy it again in a smaller size because the initial fit was weird. All in the name of getting that perfect thing that I want.
Stylist. Reggie?
Great, and i mean GREAT video man
People are sheep and afraid to be themselves or different
I promise!!!! I love the 2004-2010 style: big jeans, clean, pressed, and fresh! Comfort is queen in my style.
lots of great points, too many people look like clones of each other these days
This made me feel good.
Thanks for bringing some honest conversation to the topic of personal style. Keep up the good work, man!
Just what i thought about style.
Thanks g, really dope vid 🔥🔥🔥
This was a good one, important topics for the culture 🤘
Omg I could write an essay about this😂😭 from Gucci being something everyone “knows everything about” to that one hot high street piece seen in different forms and worn by every girl in my school, this stuff is really limiting and people need to be able/need to learn to express themselves through clothes better.
This video needs to be saved on everyone’s desktop.
It’s instagrams fault
I hit this rut a few years ago and have been trying to break out. What helped me was figuring out what always spoke to me, then slowly integrating unique pieces into my wardrobe to push out the boring looks. This motivates me to find the next "me piece" and push out the generic NPC clothing I had before (buy one piece, sell/toss another)
