Deadass when a Frugal video came up on my recommended for the first time, it was one of the older videos where it was narration-only, and I definitely just pictured Hiccup but hypebeast.
People appreciate thoughtfulness, and in a fashion context basic is essentially a synonym for thoughtless, you wore the outfit without care as to why it fits you or your aesthetic and more than likely the fit is an attempt to follow a trend without thinking about why it aligns with your overall look. This is why the same outfit can look great on one person but basic on another person.
since 2017 graduated college, got a job, made a career out of it, got married, became an uncle to 3 nices and nephews, revamp my style cause i watch frugal and other fashion youtubers, and now im working on my weight and eating habits. shit man i've done a lot to be honest.
Although my knowledge of fashion is limited, I think the distiction between simple and basic is insight and elegance. A simple and clean fit is elegant and skillfully put together using insight and technique gained from experience.

Since 2017, graduated high school, undergrad, and in the last month of my Master's, got a girlfriend that year and we are still together, moved to a new province, made new friends and hobbies 🤠
Best ending ever!!!! makes you really think about who we call “fashion icons” and what makes them that. Not everyone can be a “Fashion Icon”. I love your videos tho! ✌🏾
Frugal teaches us how to be aesthetically pleasing and mentally aware. The switch in topic yet continuation of the topic keeps me watching this channel. “What makes you memorable?”- Frugal
Damn bro I know this isnt relevant but Ive been a long time subscriber and seeing you in that tank top, Youre looking better than ever. I see the gains bro o7
Thanks for reminding me to push back my Scentbird subscription again! It is an absurdly terrible process to cancel it and there's no way to cancel on the website (that will gladly let you sign up and pay). I did enjoy the actual video tho
2024 What I have done with my life this year: - travel Asia for 1 month (Japan, Korea, Thailand) - visit Portugal - Visit France and go to a Travis Scott concert - Visit Monaco - Lost all my money doing this and had to wake up at 5 every morning for work - Going to visit Norway next month - Apply to flight school Cheers Frugal
@@luckycat4241 thanks, I appreciate it bro🤝 life is all about experience, at least for me at this point of life. Bless you and I hope you will get to experience life to the fullest with all of its ups and downs🙏
You should look into the scentbird CEO she is legitimately crazy (like saying people who have cancer are responsible for that because cancer comes from bad attitudes and stuff like that). I wouldn't want to advertise for a company by such a person.
Been watching for a few months now but this was the video that got me to subscribe. Keep up the great work man. On that note I'm gonna keep rocking my "simple" Sambas 😎😂
"When you walk away, you don't hear me say "Please, oh baby, don't go" Frugal and Aesthetic Is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go"
A new fragrance can totally change up how you feel you're projecting yourself and that will also change how you fell about your fits. Couple weeks back I bought a sampler of Marc Antoine Barrois' 'Ganymede' as I liked how weird and divisive the reviews for it are, and it makes me feel like a whole other person wearing it.
i can summ it up like this: a simple outfit is a simple outfit that works well. a basic outfit is a simple outfit that doesn't work well. that's all there is to it.
I feel like calling something 'basic' and 'simple' sometimes depends on where you are. like at my school (i live in tokyo but go to an american school), basic is the way most of the boys dress themselves is like basketball shorts, basketball shoes/slides, compression shirt/black t-shirt maybe with a graphic design, headphones always, and a perm. that's basic. but a few people wear way more simple stuff, but it stands out cause its not the norm. something a bit more normal for tokyo which is like boxier shirts/less fitted shirts, shorts with a simple design on them. that's pretty minimalistic, but the guys wearing that stand out from the 'basic'.
i think the difference is “basic” refers to how popular something is in a negative connotation (i.e “nike tech with jordans is so basic), while “simple” rather refers to the simplicity of a piece or outfit . a good example frugal gives/ shows is the margiela gat (though the gat itself is becoming basic)
i think the only problem i have with basis is when the whole outfit is made up of basics. but when someone uses basics pieces in their overall unique style that’s where you can still get by
had to pause and reflect for a second, looking at the 7.5 soon 8 full calendar years that have passed. i've been watching this Frugal fly ass mf's video's since i was in 8th grade 2017 and 2024 im reselling on IG making good bread 5th year in business now partially thanks to u my guy, basic knowledge u gave turned into generational wisdom for me dawg
What did i do since 2017. I went to middle school, survived covid 5 times, kept my grades up despite the pandemic, overcame my technology addiction, started to garden, started going to the gym in high school, made my high school volleyball team, broke my wrist (playing soccer), broke my elbow (rock climbing), broke my ankle (playing soccer), healed, trained with the Guatemalan national volleyball team, tried to ask a girl on a date (she invited her friends), started caring about fashion, subscribed to Frugal Aesthetic, and started dressing better. 😊
Someone called him basic, and now he’s having a breakthrough
Fr the whole channel is like a midlife crisis
Frugal actually doing his job💀🙏

right until he flamed me for doing nothing with my life.. KJSGH
we got frugal doing his job before GTA6
@@jhincitahe joking, but I also took that stray to heart 😂
💀
He’s the only person that tricks me every time when he starts a rant that turns into a ad and I am here for it 😂
Tbh he's the on,y person i dont skip the ads for because of how he talks is so entertaining
Him and the simplified history channel have mastered this technique 😂
Bro never fails to give me existential crisis
every frugal vid got that existential segment fr
My boy is back so he can pay his rent
Perfect timing, I'm on my lunch at work
I wasn't expecting an existential crisis during my lunch, man wtf
so what have u done since 2017? (sry lol)
what makes you memorable?
Died at the simple and clean bit💀💀

I actually really like that “you’re not basic if you’re memorable”
your editing has actually gotten incredible, every video is extremely watchable
Tf happened!? This man returned to us in base form😂😂
7:40 oml this is raw
SIMPLE AND CLEAN
Wii music is great, dudes ripped, makes good points, has a soothing voice, and brings his personality to the video. Great work all around.
Simple and clean is the way you're making me feel tonight.... it's hard to let it go.
simple, basic, none of it matters. The snuggie is the new meta.

“What makes you memorable”
easy to get, affordable, many people have it = basic
rare, expensive, niche = simple

@@semeesee9802 PLEASE OOOOOHHHHH BABBBBYYYYY
that last quote really got me looking at my closet with a lab coat and a clipboard
Simple is more like insinuate your body and proportions, basic is just anything that you throw on that everybody has imo
Wtf bro is actually ripped asf ❤😂
I actually watched the scent add till the end. Good job!
Damn bro I know this isnt relevant but Ive been a long time subscriber and seeing you in that tank top, Youre looking better than ever. I see the gains bro o7
