What you say about impulse purchases makes so much sense to me. Nearly my favorite pieces I’ve found were buys that I saw something and bought it within minutes. People who are in touch with their style may actually benefit from an impulse buy. When you know, you know!
I think the best start into slow fashion is learning to mend! Its not super expensive. And its better to make beginner mending mistakes on the old impulse buys fast fashion that something you have invested alot into 😅 edit: want to add learning to dye/ embroydery over stains it have saved me alot of money.
Another cracking video. Good point about having separate pieces for work/ social life. Here for the B roll, too!
Any excuse to film something in slo mo
Hey Sam, another great vid. Really interesting, real life content. I've been working on my slow fashion wardrobe for the last year, decluttering, selling etc. As you say, making intentional choices take time and effort - it's a muscle that needs to be worked!
Absolutely agree!! Taking time to do the research and due diligence on a purchase always pays off, and I’d love to see it normalised in fashion! Thank you so much for watching :)
Great soundtrack and great B roll shots, as well as being informative ! keep up the creativity Sam!
Thank you!! I’d quite happily just film everything in slow motion without talking but need to get my mindthoughts out there somehow! X
I finally subscribed. Awesome video mate! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Thanks so much Thando!!! Plenty more thoughts to share soon! 👏🏻
Love it Sam, I'm all for knowing your gut on 'impulse' purchases, (I'm a gut thinker), I definitely feel it is important for me to take a bit if time, say even 15 minutes, to think through how I'd use an item before purchasing, to determine how likely I am to make substantial use of it. Also checking the labels at that time, making sure it's made of natural fibres, what the hidden or lining materials are, who has produced it and how well constructed it looks at areas of potential weakness such as pockets and crotch (yes crotch) areas. I've been caught out on missing an opportunity before, but I don't think it's haunted me for too long.
Absolutely!!! I think my idea of an impulse purchase is probably much slower than plenty others! I just maintain that some of my most worn and loved items of clothing are not the ones that were bought when actively looking! Much more of a chance happening.
There was a specific item in my mind as I spoke about haunting. A vintage, Japanese release only, cabourn vest... on eBay... I dithered and then gone. And then spent months hunting for something to fill the void 😅😅😅 (dramatic license has been used)
@@sambinstead6611 Haha, yes I can relate to that. And some times, you just know, you know. Mine was kind of a reverse, where I sold (maybe even gave to Oxfam) a YSL double breasted, that i now long for. oh well, we have more than what we need, gratitude is key.
Have I completely missed the mark with number 2...? Are impulses to be ignored or harnessed?!
Good tips and sentiment. And superbly made video!
Thanks so much for watching Nick! Means a great deal coming from yourself! :)
Good work mate. Slick production
Thanks man!!!
Super interesting stuff! Didn’t know you shouldn’t hang your knitwear 😱 Also feel like Yorkshire tea ASMR could be a new side gig...
Yeah!!! I wanna do a video soon focussed on care tips like that! Hanging knitwear can send it all out of shape real quick! Hahah I wonder if I can get sponsored by Yorkshire Tea.... 👀
I definitely relate to the struggle of balancing minimalism and fashion. Especially when it comes to shoes; damn there are so many shoes that I want...
Ha! I know what you mean. There’s something so inherently functional yet personal about a shoe! They say a lot about your style I guess?!
Again amazing! I love your full length mirror - you recommended a website for homeware to me a while back with lovely mirrors - I can’t remember it ?!
Thank you!! It seems so hard to find a mirror that size!!! This one is White Company, but there’s similar ones on Made and West Elm I think.... x
@@sambinstead6611 ah west elm that’s the one you told me about! I think I found some nice ones on there. But good I’ll check others too thanks 😊
Another great video! I'm at the beginning of my slow fashion journey (in a way, I've always bought my clothing second hand so I suppose I'm not entirely new!) Anyway, I notice that a lot of what you wear as mentioned, is natural fabrics which are often dry clean or hand wash only. I am interested to hear how you maintain your clothing and if you have any tips on cleaning, looking after and storing natural fabrics. I am always looking for new tips 🙂. Is this something you might consider doing in video format in the future?
Hi! Yess! Second hand always a great way to go :) ooooh I’m glad you asked!! I’ve started sketching out a plan for just that video, knitwear maintenance, eco washing products etc, will bump it up the list! Thanks so much for the comment, and for watching! X
@@sambinstead6611 Excellent! I look forward to watching it! Thanks again 👍
no steamer recommendations yet, but I am eyeing up the steam cleaners that I can use on the house without chemicals, that have the option to use on clothes too...
Ooooh multipurpose! We love to hear it
I’m going to speak on behalf of everybody, we need the Lockdown Looks video!
Working on it ;)
@@sambinstead6611 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
currently barista shopping aswell, coffee cuffs :(
Oh man the cuffs. It’s the cuffs that make me so sad.
@@sambinstead6611 can roll them now it’s spring 🌱 **constructive criticism.... you got good taste but the slow fashion title/label/movement is one to avoid. Just explaining your own style without mentioning the above, jushow the broader view on how you became more interested in your own style as you got older and the brands you like etc is a more concise longer lasting way, rather than using a search-term-label that comes n goes quicker than a flat white :)
I’d agree it’s a difficult term! I try not to define my style as ‘slow fashion’, it isn’t a look... but it’s a great term for encompassing my lifestyle and buying choices, just like the slow food movement! I’ve already a video in the works explaining what the term means to me, why I use it, and what I don’t like about it!!! but not before a couple of videos where the words don’t come up ;)
Really appreciate your feedback and thoughts 💞 thanks for watching! :)
