14:42 As a Fashion student, I have been taught that "Premium" means a brand that has a higher price point, sometimes almost the same as a luxury brand, however, it does not have any luxury aspects in its marketing and communication strategies! Some better-known examples are Isabelle Marant and Loewe Gucci is not Premium but instead Luxury, mainly because of the heritage of their fashion house that they use as part of their marketing. (And heritage is one of the key defining factors of a luxury brand😉)
I find it quite funny that the second Stitch-Fix outfit for Stephanie is literally just the classic MatPat outfit, red jacket and all. I doubt that the folks at Stitch-Fix are aware of him, which just makes this cosmic coincidence that much more interesting to me! I'm surprised that it wasn't mentioned in the video.
I was once gifted Stitch Fix for a year. I hated it. It took them months to realize that I hated sweaters, and by the end of the year, they had still not managed to give me anything that I actually liked despite me giving feedback every month. Very ick experience.
I figured it looks red IRL😅 lots of screens read in between shades as more one way than another and red-orange looks more orange on every camera ive ever used
@@mangakoibitochan I was wondering if the color was off... UNTIL the editor did the thing, then I was like... yeah, ok, that one IS orange. 😝 Plus I would think the editors use the color wheel/clapper color correction technique to get accurate color, so that all colors are accurately represented in video.
I can't even see that being red in real life, the red jacket is right there, and the yellow jacket is also right there, the orange one fits perfectly in-between in terms of shade. That's 100% orange.
just wanna point out after that outfit, the cut scene was a matpat doll with almost if not same (dark inner clothing with red jacket) top (cuz the bottom part was covered) but yeah, very cute and matching
Both MatPat and Steph's second StitchFix outfits were somehow pulled from the alternate universe where MatPat did quit theater and became a professor and Steph was the one to start Game Theory!
Gosh the "job" section was just that final drop on how bad that stitch fix site thingy, also Steph being an absolute boss! I love the idea of Professor Pat. I feel like he would either be crushed by academia, or be THE professor that everyone takes a class with because he makes life that much more enjoyable.
The thing that's funny is that I do get why they would ask that question, my guess for why certain jobs weren't there is because those aren't their normal clients, because your occupation does modify your preferences. I am however bothered that they just assume that only matters for women and that men will be the same in their preferences regardless...
Well done bringing to light a gap in the industry when it comes to men's fashion! As a straight man comfortable in my masculinity, I'm always at odds with clothing retailers and second hand shops trying to find colorful pieces that work with my staples. I hadn't realized just how much I find myself aligning with what your preferences are, being color and structure. I can recognize that as much as I'd love to be able to wear more pastels and soft colors, the tone of my skin just happens to be complimented better by darker more solid colors. Not much I can do about that. I'd at least like more creative options in terms of available clothing tho.
As someone who wants to look like an elfen faerie king isekai'd into a midwestern mall, I can commiserate with MatPat's frustration with the limitations of men's fashion right now.
In my opinion mostly a "mind" problem, nothing wrong with shopping in the female section as a male or the other way around. The only thing that matters is, that it fits and that you yourself like it. Know a lot of man that wear woman jeans, cause they are cut better, while a lot of woman look for man jeans, cause woman jeans lack real pockets. And especially when you look for colorful or bright, you often don't find it in the male section.
The discrepancies with men’s fashion questions and women’s fashion question is wild, im really glad that I watched this video because I thought about doing one of those online style quizzes but now I’m more comfortable going through Pinterest and liking certain outfits, creatively trying to use what I own and have and make something really unique and fashionable. But still myself. This was a fun watch I’m gonna miss you guys.
I think it's pretty presumptive to assume it's because of gender difference. I had a buddy (male) who got asked very similar questions using the same service. It probably has to do with how you answer the first few questions especially considering that it's an algorithm design to find "personality" from your questions
I'm so happy to see an honest review of Stitch Fix! I ordered from them a few years ago asking for an outfit I could wear on my birthday and they sent me athleisure!
@@Official_Star.Inc87_ALT3why are you so obsessed with him? You were replying to almost every single comment about him, thinking to hate, but that’s just more of obsessive behavior, and he gets a UA-cam video on your channel? That’s 100% fan behavior everyone knows that
I mean, Matpat did end up becoming a professor. He became our professor from things like food, gaming, movies and style to being the chillest dude. Keep up the great work and have a great day.
I have a similar problem as Matt in the opposite direction. My ideal style is what I call "executive goth", where I really like snazzier, darker clothing but I also like patterns and pops of dynamic color. Think of Taliesin Jaffe from Critical Role. But finding pieces that I like is so difficult. Most of the store fronts catering the goth crowd look like they're run by Kingdom Hearts characters.
I'd recommend 80-90s era prom suits. They have lots of dynamic patterns and colours, there's also the option of DIY if you find a nice jacket and have it tailored.
I think the problem with StitchFix, from when I tried it, was that they have limited (internal?) brands to pull from, and they opt for muted palettes even if they are colorful, which in my opinion allows them to lean SAFE even when they’re presenting you with new pieces. For me it also leaned just to femme (even though I’m cis female) and it never moved away from that aesthetic. I think you guys highlighted that binary very well in your questionnaire segment. The pieces I did like from my boxes and purchased I ultimately barely wore because even if I liked them they never quite fit the way I wanted them to. I’m bigger than Steph though avg height, and the general female cuts just don’t fit my proportions comfortably. Either too large and slouchy or just small enough to feel like I wanna hulk out at my shoulders. Fashion can be so frustrating but I do believe that when you find a brand you like and that fits well, it’s great to stick with them. Thrifting is also such a great way to find a specific style without many “replicas” but the downside is, the pickings are whatever your area has to offer. Interesting video can’t wait for part two!
Ok but like. . . Steph in the red denim jacket made me immediately think of her being in an alternate timeline where she ran the channels while Mat stayed in the background Edit: sorry don't want to be that person but thank you for all the likes ^^ I'm a big fan of matpat and I'm glad that I got atleast a decently popular comment on one of his videos
It probably looks more red in person. In fact the yellow they pulled out saying it was kind of orangey didn’t look close at all which probably means it too looks more red in person.
The one she picked looks yellowy orange to me. Like quite literally the same color as a not fully ripe orange. The one I'm guessing you guys would pick as the orange looks more reddish to me.
I’m a guy whose used stitch fix in the past. I specifically remember that premium brands question. Either they’ve changed the survey for guys or one of your answers prompted it to not be asked
@@brandonklotz1207 it's possible they asked so they would know if she'd prefer more office wear, maybe if she worked in a corporate environment but they should have asked Mat the same question
I want to give some quick insight on Stitch Fix, as my mother works for them (I was excited to see if maybe she was one of your stylists - she wasn’t - ). They’ve been implementing AI into almost the entire process, down to having an AI system pre-write the personalized message as a suggestion for the stylists to use. The algorithm is a strict system that’s used based on warehouse inventory, and sometimes even limits what the stylist gives you based on your preferences from that survey. That inventory…often is pretty lackluster and severely limits what your stylist can give you. And I have personally seen that there are some very colorful stuff in there! But the STYLIST is who ensures the outfits chosen for you are best suited for where you are located and the current season. And yeah…their stuff is expensive, even if you choose ‘the cheaper, the better’. But the stylists are definitely worth at least seeing what they think would suit you that you might not think of choosing yourself. And Stitch Fix has actually expanded my horizons in terms of fashion, mainly just watching my mother work when I visit and the maybe 3 times I ordered my own box years ago
29:36 that’s kind of interesting because matpat has taught me a lot. I know way more about genetics from him than from school. He taught me a lot and I am able to chat with my family about things I found out about (or started learning about) on the different theory channels.
I'm not sure, but I think what Catherine (or AI equivelant) might have done is taken your colour preferences, and then darkening it a bit for the winter/autumn feel. Still colourful, but more suited for the seasons. And IF this is the case, that is a VERY nice detail
Hard to get styled (or upgraded in style) when you both already have such great style! Honestly I really love how both of you dress and it works together when you stand next to each other too. I do feel you both show so much personality in your original wardrobe style.
As a professor in a university, I LOVE the second outfit option for Mat on Stitch fix , and when Steph said that was a proffesor look I laugh out loud 😂
This isn’t not an ad for Game Theory Clothes but honestly for a person who watches UA-camr like UA-camr “merch” because lately designs have been settle and better quality than standard clothing. And video show it a few times like Steph wearing cloak sweatshirt in beginning and wearing the black dress shirt from critical role (I see that Launda design and it beautiful) and Matt showing his collection of rainbow jackets from their own line. I just love UA-cam merch lately and that’s becoming my style.
I love their relationship. They support and bounce off each other and share the same humor ❤ Edit: I just thought I should give my two cents as a fashion student. "Wear what makes you comfortable and happy" The price tag doesnt always mean quality. What makes clothes look expensive is the tailoring. Another thing is to introduce new elements to your already existing style.
I agree on you guys having to research around more for a Fivver stylist. It seemed they were just experts in variations of Korean street wear and "trying" to tailor it to your specifications, nothing wrong with that style it just seemed that's what they were dialed in on and you needed to find someone who would be more knowledgeable in all fashion types. I've read a few comments on trying to fins specific fashion in boxes but ultimately in the end its gonna take more on your own part to find the things you like from different places. Stitch Fix has certain fashion trends in mind in their algorithms that can fit anyone in any type of setting, the styles won't be extreme, they're safe/normal, which isn't bad, if you don't really know how to dress very well or lack color coordination, clothing pair ups it will definitely help elevate an average Joe in their style.
33:18 Isn't that just Mat pats style but just fits her well? Its just funny to me that they basically made her outfit Mat pats OG fit here XD no hate just thought it was goofy.
19:13: Credit where it's due: Married couples often have such similar style choices that it can be hard for an outside source to generate separate style options that can be identified for either party ... especially given the rise of unisex options in recent years!
I used to do this with a brand called kidpick when I was around Ollie's age. They would send you all these things without getting your preference spot on. It's nice to watch you guys try this because I was just as clueless. Now that I'm older, I can see that they don't really work style wise. I love your videos and will miss you guys❤️😭
Yo I think he has that nerdy guy drip. Like it’s perfect for him. He wears exactly what matches his personality. Crazy colors, nerdy brands, and nice fitting and uniform clothes.
I find it really silly to act like we don’t understand how that question is relevant when styling women. It’s not stitch fix’s fault that soceitally we kind of have to dress for our environment in that way and if you’re trying to determine our style, our occupation is a very useful thing to know.
@@D-Fritz But then wouldn't that question be important to ask men as well? Also I think the issue was that it didn't offer any high position job options.
okay but whty doesnt that job include ceos or entrepreneurs @@D-Fritz ? and what about men, why didnt they ask mat what type of job HE was in? you're just making excuse up for obvious sexism
Actually, I can get the occupation question, it changes your mindset and preferences. The fact that it asked her and not MatPat is what's off though because it shows that they don't think that men ever have the same change in perspective
@@lillianabright03 The lack of those jobs is obviously problematic, though it could be an assumption that those in said position would use a more expensive option due to the increase in pay, but the fact that males aren't asked the question is ridiculous, but not from the perspective of sexism against women, but because the whole thing furthers the point that they just assume men only want one type of look, regardless of anything like how a job changes your mindset.
I saw a guy with the game theory scarf and jacket at the grocery store and we had a whole moment together . He was so happy that someone finally noticed his drip!
I love that the title for this video actually allowed the big point in the content to be a surprise, made my personal viewer retention much higher since the whole plot wasn't in the clickbait title, there was something for me to stick around for.

Matpat, your closet looks like my entire room (closet included)! With so much color and quirky patterns I have also heard comments about a lack of order or cohesiveness in my wardrobe and room. But darn it, I love color and that won't be changing anytime soon!
Y’all should do a style theory of ice could work as clothes 😭 I know it’s a silly theory but in Disney’s frozen Elsa throughout the series is constantly changing her clothing and color of clothing with just her ice powers I thought it’d be a little neat idea to expand on 😅 (ignore my nonexistent grammar)
ooh, can I second this and add other highly decorative materials? what about clothes made of glass, or decorative metal? there are so many cool fantasy options, though I'd definitely watch an episode about ice clothes!
First of all, I just got the oversized theory wear sweater while watching this, right now! And I love it. Second; at 20:29 I think that shirt could have been cool on Mat if it was more colorful. Or had some colors at all. I personally would have liked that shirt, I would use it as a summer jacket over something with colors on.
You don't need to hire a professional you look amazing either way! Thank you for you videos, they've always been there to make me feel better, we'll miss you matpat!
17:09 my thoughts exactly, although I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and suppose it's really an orange-adjacent red that's been messed up by the camera settings (either that, ot they have a different, more yellowy, concept of "orange").
She's the Alternate Steph from a Universe where she runs the channels as Stephpatt ans solves the many game theories for games like Blaze the Cat, Super Princess Peach, and Five Nights at Chica's
I feel you, Matt. I am always the most colorful dressed man in the room. And the most accessible colorful mens clothing available is Hawaiian shirts, button ups or polos. So now I own like 100 of them, and probably in at least 50 different colors. And since I live in Florida, I have all the colors of shorts. But when it comes to pants, they don't make colorful ones for big guys like me, so I have to just wear boring jeans whenever it gets cold.
23:50 it just feels weird being super bummed about there not being enough color and theen immediately cut to Mat standing in his own black T-shirt and Grey jacket
I love these types of videos! Happy to see we're getting more of them. Also, looking at all these example photos, I can't stop thinking about Ellie Jean Royden's body and style channel. She has an amazing style roots system that makes describing your style easier.
12:23 I have only met one guy whose favorite color was pink, hot pink specifically. That was twelve years ago. I have never met a guy since who loves neon
Hey Matpat! Thanks so much for powering my childhood and I’m really gonna miss you in the vids. I hope you enjoy the rest of you’re videos and have a great year!
I seem to get most of my "slightly outside my regular style" clothes from either my mum or sister. Some of it is stuff that they're getting rid of and get me to try on since we're all similar height. Since my sister has relatively unusual tastes that are similar enough to mine in some respects, I've gotten a lot of clothes I'd never have tried otherwise. The other stuff, like one of my favourite jackets, is pointed out as something that might be nice on me and typically I try it out to see I'd actually like it. I'm very picky, but that also means I'm easy to predict once you know what you're looking for. Cool colours, especially blues, high waist and neckline due to comfort and flat chest respectively. Graphic tees, knitwear especially with cables and other interesting stitches, men's check shirts, and goth and/or vintage dresses/skirts.
I could honestly picture Mat and Steph in classic 70s silhouettes and trends, being colourful and having awesome patterns while still keeping a fitted and somewhat professional look, I'm thinking blouses and sweater vests and some bellbottoms! :)
I loved the orange jacket combo, it felt extremely you I feel like one of your bright jackets would look fantastic over the fiver sweater I'm glad poor Stephanie got a great top and a super fitted jacket I looked at stitchfix once, but my size wasn't even in their options
I’m AMAB non-binary and I usually dress very like alternative and goth. I tried using stitch fix when I was younger and looking for more style options and it was dreadfully bad. Like I’m talking “I just generally want something more professional looking in my area of style,” using Taliesin Jaffe as a style reference and the only things I kept at all were a knit sweater hoodie, another sweater, and a jacket I liked because it was plaid and looked pretty alt while still being professional. It really felt like “If I had the money, I could easily just go to a retail store like J C Penny or Target and find what I want myself.” They also have absolutely no concept of what a more androgynous style is.
Sizing can be so difficult! I hate when sizes are described as "true to size" or a variable of that. I have ordered clothing, where each item has been a different size varying from XS to L. I was looking for pants the other day and had to try on a pair that was marked up to 3 sizes bigger, than the range of sizes I usually reach for initially. I always use actual measurements when shopping online and if they are not provided, I won't even consider buying it. Another feature that provides challenges is the materials. I would love a "natural fibers" filter for online stores. Like 50% natural fibres, 75% natural fibres and 100% natural fibres. I don't wanna wear plastics.

Yes orange
The one she picked looks yellowy orange to me. Like quite literally the same color as a not fully ripe orange. The one I'm guessing you guys would pick as the orange looks more reddish to me.
I just about lost it when I heard the "huh?" Literally the best editor-interjection I've seen thus far.
15:45
You know it's bad when you got Stephanie cursing!
Right?? But also, 100% valid. The fact that a high-ranking job wasn't there is like, 1980s misogyny at best.
I love how steph says "this feels like a different universe stephanie" my mind went straight to the universe if steph started game theory
I’m a guy whose used stitch fix in the past. I specifically remember that premium brands question. Either they’ve changed the survey for guys or one of your answers prompted it to not be asked
I took the survey last night for funsies after watching this video and they asked me the same question on the men's survey aswell.
I didn’t see the big deal until it asked about her job. I just thought it was weird.
@@brandonklotz1207 it's possible they asked so they would know if she'd prefer more office wear, maybe if she worked in a corporate environment but they should have asked Mat the same question
I want to give some quick insight on Stitch Fix, as my mother works for them (I was excited to see if maybe she was one of your stylists - she wasn’t - ). They’ve been implementing AI into almost the entire process, down to having an AI system pre-write the personalized message as a suggestion for the stylists to use. The algorithm is a strict system that’s used based on warehouse inventory, and sometimes even limits what the stylist gives you based on your preferences from that survey. That inventory…often is pretty lackluster and severely limits what your stylist can give you. And I have personally seen that there are some very colorful stuff in there! But the STYLIST is who ensures the outfits chosen for you are best suited for where you are located and the current season. And yeah…their stuff is expensive, even if you choose ‘the cheaper, the better’. But the stylists are definitely worth at least seeing what they think would suit you that you might not think of choosing yourself. And Stitch Fix has actually expanded my horizons in terms of fashion, mainly just watching my mother work when I visit and the maybe 3 times I ordered my own box years ago
Insightful comment. Thx for sharing
Can I just say that I am obsessed with how lovingly Matt looks at Steph? It seriously makes my heart so warm! You two are goals!
29:36 that’s kind of interesting because matpat has taught me a lot. I know way more about genetics from him than from school. He taught me a lot and I am able to chat with my family about things I found out about (or started learning about) on the different theory channels.
17:08
That was the best part of the video. „Huh?“
I‘m cracking up 😂😂😂
THAT WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS IVE SEEN IN THIS SPECIFIC CHANNEL IN A WHILE LOL
I'm not sure, but I think what Catherine (or AI equivelant) might have done is taken your colour preferences, and then darkening it a bit for the winter/autumn feel. Still colourful, but more suited for the seasons. And IF this is the case, that is a VERY nice detail
Between MatPat's Ken core and Steph rocking that Laudna shirt dress, it's clear that their style is already peak.
We'll miss you MatPat... But damm gotta respect the drip! You really said "If I'm going out, I'm going out with fashion"

Hard to get styled (or upgraded in style) when you both already have such great style! Honestly I really love how both of you dress and it works together when you stand next to each other too. I do feel you both show so much personality in your original wardrobe style.
As a professor in a university, I LOVE the second outfit option for Mat on Stitch fix , and when Steph said that was a proffesor look I laugh out loud 😂
Not to be rude, I'm just looking for a school, what university is it?
@@ThatElmTree not rude at all, don’t worry.
I live in Mexico, so the information is probably useless, but I work at UANL, in Nuevo León.
@@mickey_vazquezg Thank You :)
This isn’t not an ad for Game Theory Clothes but honestly for a person who watches UA-camr like UA-camr “merch” because lately designs have been settle and better quality than standard clothing. And video show it a few times like Steph wearing cloak sweatshirt in beginning and wearing the black dress shirt from critical role (I see that Launda design and it beautiful) and Matt showing his collection of rainbow jackets from their own line. I just love UA-cam merch lately and that’s becoming my style.
I love their relationship. They support and bounce off each other and share the same humor ❤
Edit: I just thought I should give my two cents as a fashion student. "Wear what makes you comfortable and happy"
The price tag doesnt always mean quality. What makes clothes look expensive is the tailoring.
Another thing is to introduce new elements to your already existing style.
28:45 this is the best one so far for mat. Im not commenting on stephs because i know nothing about male fashion let alone female fashion
Whoever has been editing these videos is doing a fantastic job! it's just so clean and mesmerizing

I agree on you guys having to research around more for a Fivver stylist. It seemed they were just experts in variations of Korean street wear and "trying" to tailor it to your specifications, nothing wrong with that style it just seemed that's what they were dialed in on and you needed to find someone who would be more knowledgeable in all fashion types.
I've read a few comments on trying to fins specific fashion in boxes but ultimately in the end its gonna take more on your own part to find the things you like from different places. Stitch Fix has certain fashion trends in mind in their algorithms that can fit anyone in any type of setting, the styles won't be extreme, they're safe/normal, which isn't bad, if you don't really know how to dress very well or lack color coordination, clothing pair ups it will definitely help elevate an average Joe in their style.
Oh man, Steph’s commentary on stitch fix was amazing
33:18 Isn't that just Mat pats style but just fits her well? Its just funny to me that they basically made her outfit Mat pats OG fit here XD no hate just thought it was goofy.
16:44
Off topic but I am literally obsessed with Steph's shirt! ❤
It’s a critical role shirt and I strive to own it one day. They sell it in the CR merch store ( it’s my civic duty to let you know this information)
@@madelinehutchinsonIT IS CR’S????????? Thank you sm for telling me❤❤
32:43 Stephanies second outfit from stitch fit is like if you took MatPats iconic outfit tones it down slightly and made it for a girl
I really appreciate the way this shows the comparison between the male and female experience on a fashion site! So enlightening
Steph wearing the Laudna shirt dress...love to see it.
This was a fun episode. Enjoyed seeing it all come together!
Yes I was so excited when I saw it. I literally paused and looked Up the Dress to make Sure. It's so cool, I p ve it
I didn't know this was a thing but seeing it here, I was like "whoa, that's a sick design!"
19:13: Credit where it's due: Married couples often have such similar style choices that it can be hard for an outside source to generate separate style options that can be identified for either party ... especially given the rise of unisex options in recent years!
You guys should get a colour personal analysis! Since both of you love colour, it would be interesting to see if you suit the colours you like!

man that would be funny
I wish
i did not ever think that Mia Maples would inspire something like this, I love the theorists and I love Mia so much so happy you guys did this!
16:03 Is that occupation question not more 'what industry are you in' though? It doesn't specify a low-level job in the industries listed..?
Im glad the editor noticed the orange
it was a little weird, right?
33:24 That outfit feels like if Steph is cosplaying Mat, maybe in that other universe it was Steph that was the face of Game Theory instead of Mat.
I used to do this with a brand called kidpick when I was around Ollie's age. They would send you all these things without getting your preference spot on. It's nice to watch you guys try this because I was just as clueless. Now that I'm older, I can see that they don't really work style wise. I love your videos and will miss you guys❤️😭
3:16 was NOT expecting to see the Detective make a subtle return like that.
Yo I think he has that nerdy guy drip. Like it’s perfect for him. He wears exactly what matches his personality. Crazy colors, nerdy brands, and nice fitting and uniform clothes.
I felt stephs anger when stitch fix asked Steph abt her oppcation 😡
I find it really silly to act like we don’t understand how that question is relevant when styling women. It’s not stitch fix’s fault that soceitally we kind of have to dress for our environment in that way and if you’re trying to determine our style, our occupation is a very useful thing to know.
@@D-Fritz But then wouldn't that question be important to ask men as well? Also I think the issue was that it didn't offer any high position job options.
okay but whty doesnt that job include ceos or entrepreneurs @@D-Fritz ? and what about men, why didnt they ask mat what type of job HE was in? you're just making excuse up for obvious sexism
Actually, I can get the occupation question, it changes your mindset and preferences. The fact that it asked her and not MatPat is what's off though because it shows that they don't think that men ever have the same change in perspective
@@lillianabright03 The lack of those jobs is obviously problematic, though it could be an assumption that those in said position would use a more expensive option due to the increase in pay, but the fact that males aren't asked the question is ridiculous, but not from the perspective of sexism against women, but because the whole thing furthers the point that they just assume men only want one type of look, regardless of anything like how a job changes your mindset.
I saw a guy with the game theory scarf and jacket at the grocery store and we had a whole moment together . He was so happy that someone finally noticed his drip!

Matpat, your closet looks like my entire room (closet included)! With so much color and quirky patterns I have also heard comments about a lack of order or cohesiveness in my wardrobe and room. But darn it, I love color and that won't be changing anytime soon!
Y’all should do a style theory of ice could work as clothes 😭 I know it’s a silly theory but in Disney’s frozen Elsa throughout the series is constantly changing her clothing and color of clothing with just her ice powers I thought it’d be a little neat idea to expand on 😅 (ignore my nonexistent grammar)
ooh, can I second this and add other highly decorative materials? what about clothes made of glass, or decorative metal? there are so many cool fantasy options, though I'd definitely watch an episode about ice clothes!

First of all, I just got the oversized theory wear sweater while watching this, right now! And I love it.
Second; at 20:29 I think that shirt could have been cool on Mat if it was more colorful. Or had some colors at all.
I personally would have liked that shirt, I would use it as a summer jacket over something with colors on.
You don't need to hire a professional you look amazing either way! Thank you for you videos, they've always been there to make me feel better, we'll miss you matpat!
17:09 my thoughts exactly, although I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and suppose it's really an orange-adjacent red that's been messed up by the camera settings (either that, ot they have a different, more yellowy, concept of "orange").
This has been one of my favorite style theory episodes. Sad to see it come to an end but also excited for a part two.
9:35 Matpat saying him and khaki don’t get along while he’s wearing a khaki shirt in the png
32:41 is like seeing Steph in Matt's wardrobe with the saturation down
Jerika's edits are really funny, always a fan she looks really internet knowing.
Steph’s outfit number 2 from stitchfix gave me hard matpat vibes
She's the Alternate Steph from a Universe where she runs the channels as Stephpatt ans solves the many game theories for games like Blaze the Cat, Super Princess Peach, and Five Nights at Chica's
I feel you, Matt. I am always the most colorful dressed man in the room. And the most accessible colorful mens clothing available is Hawaiian shirts, button ups or polos. So now I own like 100 of them, and probably in at least 50 different colors. And since I live in Florida, I have all the colors of shorts. But when it comes to pants, they don't make colorful ones for big guys like me, so I have to just wear boring jeans whenever it gets cold.
23:50 it just feels weird being super bummed about there not being enough color and theen immediately cut to Mat standing in his own black T-shirt and Grey jacket
Tbh it does suit him more than the fivers
honestly that orange jacket that you got + that one blueish gray sweater thing seem awesome
I've considered stitch fix, but after Safiyah's video and this video, I'm never using it.
I love these types of videos! Happy to see we're getting more of them.
Also, looking at all these example photos, I can't stop thinking about Ellie Jean Royden's body and style channel. She has an amazing style roots system that makes describing your style easier.
The countdown at the beginning of the videos always break my heart a little
12:23 I have only met one guy whose favorite color was pink, hot pink specifically. That was twelve years ago. I have never met a guy since who loves neon
Welp, now you've two male pink lovers. Neon depends on the color for me.

I seem to get most of my "slightly outside my regular style" clothes from either my mum or sister. Some of it is stuff that they're getting rid of and get me to try on since we're all similar height. Since my sister has relatively unusual tastes that are similar enough to mine in some respects, I've gotten a lot of clothes I'd never have tried otherwise. The other stuff, like one of my favourite jackets, is pointed out as something that might be nice on me and typically I try it out to see I'd actually like it.
I'm very picky, but that also means I'm easy to predict once you know what you're looking for. Cool colours, especially blues, high waist and neckline due to comfort and flat chest respectively. Graphic tees, knitwear especially with cables and other interesting stitches, men's check shirts, and goth and/or vintage dresses/skirts.
32:34
Looks like Steph is ready to put on some sunglasses and ride a motorcycle into the sunset
I could honestly picture Mat and Steph in classic 70s silhouettes and trends, being colourful and having awesome patterns while still keeping a fitted and somewhat professional look, I'm thinking blouses and sweater vests and some bellbottoms! :)
I loved the orange jacket combo, it felt extremely you
I feel like one of your bright jackets would look fantastic over the fiver sweater
I'm glad poor Stephanie got a great top and a super fitted jacket
I looked at stitchfix once, but my size wasn't even in their options
I’m AMAB non-binary and I usually dress very like alternative and goth. I tried using stitch fix when I was younger and looking for more style options and it was dreadfully bad. Like I’m talking “I just generally want something more professional looking in my area of style,” using Taliesin Jaffe as a style reference and the only things I kept at all were a knit sweater hoodie, another sweater, and a jacket I liked because it was plaid and looked pretty alt while still being professional. It really felt like “If I had the money, I could easily just go to a retail store like J C Penny or Target and find what I want myself.” They also have absolutely no concept of what a more androgynous style is.
32:58 Steph looks like if she started wearing matpat’s red coat
17:08 that *huh* was perfect
Sizing can be so difficult! I hate when sizes are described as "true to size" or a variable of that. I have ordered clothing, where each item has been a different size varying from XS to L. I was looking for pants the other day and had to try on a pair that was marked up to 3 sizes bigger, than the range of sizes I usually reach for initially. I always use actual measurements when shopping online and if they are not provided, I won't even consider buying it.
Another feature that provides challenges is the materials. I would love a "natural fibers" filter for online stores. Like 50% natural fibres, 75% natural fibres and 100% natural fibres. I don't wanna wear plastics.
