God, I actually hope this theory comes true. I HATE going clothes shopping, and every bit of men's clothing is neutral colors, blacks, jeans, and t shirts. Although, now that you mention it, I have noticed that the t-shirts have been getting more colorful. I've always envied ladies' fashion and its wide gamut of colors.
Definitely yes, and also hopefully this can become true about some of the silhouettes (skirts, dresses, puffed shoulders) that seemingly only women have access to. I'm thinking of things such as medieval fantasy wizards that have access to a silhouette that is essentially a dress while still looking masculine.
pastel blue, violet and pink is basically my color palette and I like hearts, glitter, unicorns, so once this non-conformist bold male fashion sets in, I'll tell everyone "I did it before it was cool"
matpat is peak ken: hyping up steph (his barbie) at every opportunity, colourful outfits, winning smile and getting very passionate very quickly about stuff. Total ken!
@11:35 When I was in grade 9, back in '89, I used to wear bright red and bright yellow jeans, with similar brightly coloured silk shirts. When I was 16, in '92, I wore a purple suit and shoes to the Prince concert in Toronto!
Having been a teenager in the '80s, this trend looks very familiar to me. It was the era of hair metal and spandex, so it wasn't at all unusual to see men wearing neon and/or pastel colors and wanting to stand out. I'm very happy to see a modern take on it becoming popular, thanks to the Barbie movie.
@@loganberry32 Fashion has always been cyclical. The new generation inevitably discovers the styles from a few decades prior and falls in love with them for a bit.
I hope men embrace the entire color pallet the way women's fashion does. If ONLY at the very minimum to make red carpets more interesting. Like, women have a plethora of choices for red carpets and guys only have suits in all shades of black. Its been changing recently, and I'm so happy. Men deserve colors and fun prints too!
You know men liking certain colours like black or purple, not because of toxic masculinity right? That's just women's accusation. Men just love those colours because, well because they just like it. It's not because of toxic masculinity. Wtf women want men to like pink anyways? Men don't want women to put much make up yet they still do it
I'm glad you mentioned Jimin. Even though I'm a woman, he's been a HUGE inspiration for how i dress myself. Because he's confident in his masculinity, he's perfectly comfortable wearing typically feminine clothes, and I try to do the same thing by being confident in myself so I can be comfortable wearing whatever I want, whether it leans more towards masculine or femenine. Also, I'm happy that men's fashion is expanding.
I would also like to point something I noticed as a social media user. It was a trend to dress in pink to go see the Barbie movie in theaters, and I did notice a large amount of men/boys participating. I remember talking with one of my male friends (16) who had gone to see it, and he told me it changed the way he thought about gender and masculinity. This movie had a huge cultural impact and im seeing a lot of positive change! :)
I so hope we get more of these fun fashion trends for men. I always feel bad when I'm checking out met gala looks or other fashion shows and I skip over the same old black and white suits!
MatPat and his editors need an oscar, a grammy, and every award out there for putting out these. I APPROVE MATPAT. Also, this is a joke, for anyone who didn't realize.
Do they? I mean, not to say it’s not entertaining, but it’s not all those type if award worthy if we’re being real, let’s take the dickriding down a notch 😅 I like them and all, but come on now
Love to see it. Id be honored to be alive in the era that the Barbie movie advanced the world of mens fashion🙌🙌🙌 NO MORE BORING BLACK SUITS TO FANCY EVENTS!!!!
Black is tied with Green as my favorite color so I'll always go with all black or black and green given the choice, I mean I'm already borderline Goth, I say borderline because I do have a few Tie Dye band shirts 5 from Ice Nine Kills, 1 from Lorna Shore and 1 from The Amity Affliction. Also can't leave home without my black leather Biker jacket
That's the best part of the whole thing, I think - it's about empowerment and expression. Splash that suave dark purple vest into your 'boring black' suit because it's what speaks to you. Inject some bright greens into your classic Goth fashion to add a blaze of that personal touch. At the end of the day, the important thing is that you reasonably *can* reach deep into the well of expression for the colors that vibe with you, not that you necessarily 'have to' go nuts with them.
@@HeavyMetalMouse This, absolutely. I love all-black outfits, but I always wondered if I was dressing too "plainly" and I think you just helped solve that for me. Texture with black helps to spruce it up a lot, but having a smaller part of the outfit have a pop of colour like you described for that "blaze of personal touch" is genius. Thanks for the inspiration, and I love the message you're putting out there!
MatPat’s videos have the eye catching animation style when explaining a theory! It keeps my attention and I crave for more! Awesome job to MatPat and the team behind the scenes
I propose steel plate armor for go to apocalypse wear. Pros: Built in resistance to a lot of things that can harm you, incredible style, and you feel cool. Cons: Traps heat, weak to blunt force and attacks to the gaps for movement, and the slight extra-weight and minor hinderance to mobility -And if you chose to wear a helmet, Hindered visibility. -Side note: contrary to popular belief: Battle-grade Plate armor is not very heavy or restricting. The average Knight in full plate armor can do dark souls rolls and even mount horses without any assistance. The misconception comes from Jousting armor, which was made to protect the wearer at all costs, making it impractical for real battle.
Something with lots of large pockets with a warm coat and running shoes and large bags that are easily acquired from raiding abandoned stores. Availability, mobility and storage space is important if you're on the move looking for a safe place during the apocalypse.
I VERY RARELY see men who wear pink or any bright of neon clothes since the “Manly Men Wear Pink” movement. I’m sad that it died off so early and even as a goth woman it makes me happy seeing that since the movie was announced more men/women/nonbinary/etc have been seeing wearing pink and other fun patterns inspired by barbie. I’m even seeing GOTH WOMEN AND MEN implementing pink into their makeup to support the movie, which is super iconic. Believe it or not, Barbie really is for everyone.
As a trans man, ive always been hesitant to dress too femininely for multiple reasons, but the barbie movie has definitely boosted my confidence! Im really hoping to up my kenergy with my outfit choices now >:D
I hope this actually makes other men dress more colorful because I always dress colorful even before the Barbie craze. (When I’m not working everyday 😪)
Issue with it is when men wear colors we often get labeled as gay and some of us are but others aren’t that’s my main reason for not wearing too much color
I’d love to see a long form video breaking down the history of fashion. To add a “theory” to the video you can look at the past to make predictions about what come next. After all fashion is a cycle that tends to repeat itself
Super appreciate this video, it's not very often we see positive uplifting commentary surrounding men's spaces and topics on mainline media channels these days. I like my men proud and bold, like Ken's fashion lol.
I hope you are right on this! You guys deserve ALL the colours of the rainbow, i was always bothered that more colourful fun clothes were considered "less mainly" because everyone should be alowed to have fun!
I'm glad it's becoming more mainstream! I've been wearing colorful clothes for a while now, retro colorful shape patterns like the 90s arcade carpet is the best!
The only thing that will "debunk" this theory is that Ken lacked something your other examples of style influences have: He doesn't resonate with men's aspirations. While I liked Ken as a character for the story, he wasn't really someone I'd want to emulate, which is the key thing about your other examples.
ngl i’ve watched a fair few barbie-related documentaries & video essays and i’d never heard of earring barbie before 😭 the barbie movie changed my life tbh
My fashion style already had an edge of Kenergy. I love Hawaiian shirts and kilts, which both need bold colors (not necessarily bright or pastel, but bold). Hell, I’ve rocked a plain tee-shirt with an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, kilt, and sandals before.
I have been leveling up my wardrobe for years now, but more over the last year because of a job change. I didn't really know about the Barbie movie until a couple months ago. I'm a T-shirt and jeans guy, but have been happy to see more colors emerging lately. It really does help you feel less static to have options. And, yeah, men's(wait. Should there really be an apostrophe in men's? That seems weird) fashion is fairly stale and lacks. We don't get enough cool patterns or colors. Weird Al has been stylin' for decades now as well, giving us many epic looks over his career.
I was very shocked when I saw how deep the movie really got into social stereotypes and gender issues, I think it was an AMAZING movie no matter who you are!
It was pretty generic all said. Those messages were something already present in various medias and the fact they tryed to tackle all problems together made the message a mess. I also deeply disliked to having to listen to ten minutes long monologues. Show and tell are two different things. It's better to show a concept then to tell it through a long monologue.
@averybenedick6483 It totally did, but notice how the Kens are treated when the Barbies are in power vs how the Barbies are treated by the Kens in power
@@ambiguoussarcasmYeah, it acted like a women-ruled society would be better than the patriarchy (how do you spell this in english 😢). Which made me SO confused about its message. I mean, shouldn’t the message have bern equality, but what we got was that women>men
4:36 the first major fashion shift for men's fashion from film can actually be traced to a full twos decades earlier than the 50's. In the film, It Happened One Night Clark Gable removed his shirt to reveal he wasn't wearing an undershirt because it was messing up the pacing of the scene. The men's undershirt industry never recovered.
I was so confused how they spend so much on marketing when (to my concern) they only did a teaser and a trailer plus the meme generator but damn, promotion in the US hit 1000x harder than I expected
For anyone wanting an I am Kenough tie dye hoodie like we saw in the movie, Mattel Creations does have it for preorder! (its not exactly the same as in the movie, but it is official and it looks most like it)
omigod yesss, i would love to see men have some fun with their clothes. unfortunately, this trend won't hit my area (lots of drug crime, poverty and toxic masculinity isn't the perfect environment for men looking 'girly' as they'd think) but this is one step closer to seeing some actually self expression in men's clothing and not a tracksuit!!
The Jimin mention ^^ but seriously, idc about Barbie or the movie probably won't watch it but if the world just started dressing however they want to without fear, that's all for the better in my books.
You called me out so hard. I am a man that only owns casual graphic tees and hoodies lol. Legit when me and my partner, an extremely fashionable woman, watched the barbie movie together. I saw the "Kenough" hoodie on screen and leaned over to her and said "Oh MY GOD can I ?!?!?!?!" She interrupted me and said "Yes omg that would be so cute on you!!!". I pre-ordered the hoodie walking out of the theater and I cant wait for it to ship later in Sep. Also I love the idea of wearing more colors. Haha, this from a man who has literally not changed his style in 10 years.
@@NemoIncognitoprobably because it's generic and flat. While woman get to wear 1500 different dresses man fashion is always the same shirt with 100 different prints
@@PDD555 Doesn't 1,500 different dresses seem a bit outlandish to you? Besides, worrying about the style of clothes for the sake of looking chic seems to be a first world problem.
As a man I personally didn't think Ken's clothing went far enough. The closest thing was the faux mink jacket and the outfit from the MojoDojoCasaHouse with a bandana. Otherwise it was generic Hawaiian shirts, workout shirts, and cowboy outfits. No kilts, no robes, no interesting hats even. The most interesting male piece of clothing to me was actually the zip up polo shirt from Allan in the Marketing shot saying "there's only one Allan". With the reasoning that it's more casual with a button up without needing imagery that makes them look more like Hawaiian shirts than polo's.
@@SmartCreeper non binary person refers to my gender identity. My gender is neither male nor female. I am not talking about a personality trait or anything like that
I'd love some videos discussing what the big fashion trends were throughout human history and why they became so popular. It could be a whole series, covering hairstyles, makeup, and what popular fashion looks like and has looked like in different parts of the world.
The most fun part of this is seeing how almost every Ken outfit has a Harry Styles outfit dupe. But mind you I feel like like Harry's outfits are like the children of Barbie's and Ken's outfits
5:17 I wish he touched more on the basis of The Wild One, which is the rising British subculture Teddy Boys. The look may have been new to America, but the UK was already in the know
This is really interesting because I can already see this happening with my oldest brother. He mainly wears fashionable shirts and shoes on outings. Mainly because he doesn't go out often. But if I go in my brothers closet I swear I see one side full of black, white, gray, and brown shirts. While the other is baby blue, purple and bright green shirts and some with patterns. Interesting seeing his taste in clothes expand.
For me, Grease was not implanted. But a path I unknowingly chose into the love of musicals. And I will never regret it, regardless of that crazy ending...
@@Tomatillo12 Last year, workers went on massive strike because of labour conditions. I don't know how it was solved though, if by listening to the claims or laying off employees.
i believe my favorite marketers for the movie arent even paid by mattel, its the artists who drew so much amazing fanart. they made me feel more excited to see the movie as i never saw any extreme marketing tactics because i live in the middle of nowhere, so twitter was my best friend for all sorts of marketing and news on the movie
Remember when everyone thought Ken was gay because he was “too fashionable” even after he was made for Barbie? WELL LOOK AT KEN IN HIS KENCORE USING ALL HIS KENEGRY! LOOK AT HIM NOW!

I also deeply disliked to having to listen to ten minutes long monologues. Show and tell are two different things. It's better to show a concept then to tell it through a long monologue.
@@bonnieminter8897 well the whole point of the movie was how when one gender was in control everyone was unhappy. It showed BOTH sides!
@averybenedick6483 It totally did, but notice how the Kens are treated when the Barbies are in power vs how the Barbies are treated by the Kens in power
@@ambiguoussarcasmYeah, it acted like a women-ruled society would be better than the patriarchy (how do you spell this in english 😢). Which made me SO confused about its message. I mean, shouldn’t the message have bern equality, but what we got was that women>men
4:36 the first major fashion shift for men's fashion from film can actually be traced to a full twos decades earlier than the 50's. In the film, It Happened One Night Clark Gable removed his shirt to reveal he wasn't wearing an undershirt because it was messing up the pacing of the scene. The men's undershirt industry never recovered.
DID MATPAT JUST CALL HISTORY “THE EARTH’S LORE?!”
12:24 best jeanist in the building
i’ll never miss an upload from my favorite fashion channel (the only fashion channel i watch)!
I thought it was really cool that they made so many barbie outfits they went all out which I absolutely respect
As soon as I have the money, I'll only wear armor outside
@T_elegramMeStyle_Theory... What do you mean by that?
I was so confused how they spend so much on marketing when (to my concern) they only did a teaser and a trailer plus the meme generator but damn, promotion in the US hit 1000x harder than I expected
13:17 - "You Kent win 'em all"
Me wondering why MatPat is going on about a county in the south east:
The “Just Ken” is giving me flashbacks to that DDLC theory starting with
“Just Monika”
0:17 Is that “just ken” in the beginning a reference to Monica?
I really, really hope so
I think 😂
ive never heared the long black coats as "matrix" coats always as trench coats
For anyone wanting an I am Kenough tie dye hoodie like we saw in the movie, Mattel Creations does have it for preorder! (its not exactly the same as in the movie, but it is official and it looks most like it)
My sister had one of the Oscar De La Renta dresses for the Barbie doll. It was a yellow one! Barbie was always a legit fashion icon.
I KEN't get bored when I watch these videos. More than KENough to catch my interest!
I would love a video on the history of fashion influencers!!!
I mean i was already a massive fan of colourful outfits, so this kencore thing seems pretty sweet.
Love the Ken puns in this video! And the editing is truly excellent! Well done
omigod yesss, i would love to see men have some fun with their clothes. unfortunately, this trend won't hit my area (lots of drug crime, poverty and toxic masculinity isn't the perfect environment for men looking 'girly' as they'd think) but this is one step closer to seeing some actually self expression in men's clothing and not a tracksuit!!
I'm excited to see more color hit men's fashion. I've used a lot of men's clothing because it's more comfortable so more color is awesome.
We had Barbenhiemer, next we’re having Saw Patrol.
The Jimin mention ^^ but seriously, idc about Barbie or the movie probably won't watch it but if the world just started dressing however they want to without fear, that's all for the better in my books.
The emotion I felt when I say Kenny in his shirt is indescribable. The best way I could describe it would be pure and unadulterated joy.
Love this channel so much! Thanks for all!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I swear he was talking about the matrix more than he talked about Ken.
Like 10 minutes of a 15 minute video about Ken wasn't about Ken
As someone who mostly wears black and graphic t-shirts, I'm all for more options.
I didn't realize how much the things we watch and enjoy shape our style preferences, but now that you mention it, it makes so much sense.
You called me out so hard. I am a man that only owns casual graphic tees and hoodies lol. Legit when me and my partner, an extremely fashionable woman, watched the barbie movie together. I saw the "Kenough" hoodie on screen and leaned over to her and said "Oh MY GOD can I ?!?!?!?!" She interrupted me and said "Yes omg that would be so cute on you!!!". I pre-ordered the hoodie walking out of the theater and I cant wait for it to ship later in Sep. Also I love the idea of wearing more colors. Haha, this from a man who has literally not changed his style in 10 years.
THANK YOU, I literally needed men’s fashion to be changed so bad, I’m so happy
Why?
@@NemoIncognitoprobably because it's generic and flat. While woman get to wear 1500 different dresses man fashion is always the same shirt with 100 different prints
@@PDD555 Doesn't 1,500 different dresses seem a bit outlandish to you? Besides, worrying about the style of clothes for the sake of looking chic seems to be a first world problem.
@@NemoIncognito it was a metaphor, I'm from a third world country. I'm just saying it'd be nice to have different options
@@PDD555 I apologize. I probably came off more rude than anything.
As a non binary person who wears mostly men's clothes and loves color, I see this as an absolute win
Happy for you fam 👏
Got a bright yellow crewneck yesterday and I'm over the moon
@@SmartCreeper Not what that means...
As a man I personally didn't think Ken's clothing went far enough. The closest thing was the faux mink jacket and the outfit from the MojoDojoCasaHouse with a bandana. Otherwise it was generic Hawaiian shirts, workout shirts, and cowboy outfits. No kilts, no robes, no interesting hats even.
The most interesting male piece of clothing to me was actually the zip up polo shirt from Allan in the Marketing shot saying "there's only one Allan". With the reasoning that it's more casual with a button up without needing imagery that makes them look more like Hawaiian shirts than polo's.
@@SmartCreeper non binary person refers to my gender identity. My gender is neither male nor female. I am not talking about a personality trait or anything like that
I'd love some videos discussing what the big fashion trends were throughout human history and why they became so popular. It could be a whole series, covering hairstyles, makeup, and what popular fashion looks like and has looked like in different parts of the world.
The most fun part of this is seeing how almost every Ken outfit has a Harry Styles outfit dupe. But mind you I feel like like Harry's outfits are like the children of Barbie's and Ken's outfits
I think you forgot vaporwave fashion, especially how bright and vivid colors it brought to fashion.
Of course I wanna look like Ken, he's literally me.
5:17 I wish he touched more on the basis of The Wild One, which is the rising British subculture Teddy Boys. The look may have been new to America, but the UK was already in the know
I was bouta go to sleep, but then I saw that Mattpat uploaded lol, it’s 2:28 where I am. Who’s here within the first 24 hours!
This is really interesting because I can already see this happening with my oldest brother. He mainly wears fashionable shirts and shoes on outings. Mainly because he doesn't go out often. But if I go in my brothers closet I swear I see one side full of black, white, gray, and brown shirts. While the other is baby blue, purple and bright green shirts and some with patterns. Interesting seeing his taste in clothes expand.
Imagine this
-Just Monika
But in the Barbie Movie
-Just Ken😂😂😂
For me, Grease was not implanted. But a path I unknowingly chose into the love of musicals. And I will never regret it, regardless of that crazy ending...
Mat Pat‘s Humor is absolutely brilliant!!
For someone that does alot of research I’m honestly SURPRISED he’s promoting hello fresh
Why? Is there something wrong with it? (Workers rights, food quality etc) I’m actually curious because we have used it for quite a while.
@@Tomatillo12 Last year, workers went on massive strike because of labour conditions. I don't know how it was solved though, if by listening to the claims or laying off employees.
i believe my favorite marketers for the movie arent even paid by mattel, its the artists who drew so much amazing fanart. they made me feel more excited to see the movie as i never saw any extreme marketing tactics because i live in the middle of nowhere, so twitter was my best friend for all sorts of marketing and news on the movie
Remember when everyone thought Ken was gay because he was “too fashionable” even after he was made for Barbie?
WELL LOOK AT KEN IN HIS KENCORE USING ALL HIS KENEGRY! LOOK AT HIM NOW!
12:43 omg has Matpat been watching drag race?!
Just couldn't go with at least one channel without a creepypasta opening. Could you matpat?
Ken is really just a horse girl ❤
That "Just Ken'" brought me back to the DDLC days-
I love color 😭 im so happy menswear is including more color now!!!! everyone should get to be colorful if they want!!
