I can't believe there are people who throw their clothes on the trash. I've always given it to people who need them. And I can always do it because I take very good care of my clothes so even when I don't want them anymore they still look new
Thing is, unlike in your case, for many people, actually throwing their used clothes in the trash is often the least bad option. It's an environmental disaster, but donating just compounds it, and there are reasons for it besides just laziness. First off, most people don't take care of their stuff like you do. Reasons include ignorance, laziness and just general norms, but also - properly caring for & mending clothes is real work. It takes real time and labor and knowledge. For all those centuries when we think of women as just kinda not having jobs - that was a huge part of their job. In a household where everyone already works minimum 40hrs/week outside the home, and nobody grew up extensively taught how to do these things, that takes a lot of motivation to dedicate time and effort to. And as far as at least paying to have them repaired etc - while manufacturing these clothes new is done cheaply, automated and w/ sweatshop labor in low income countries, to get something repaired you have to pay a person in your own country that needs to make a living wage here to do it by hand. So it tends to actually be more expensive. Second reason: affordable clothes (affordable to working class & poor i.e. most people) have been increasingly manufactured to not hold up well for more than like 10-20 washes regardless. (Also increasingly true of most brands regardless of price point, but fast fashion tends to be the worst.) At the same time, the norms now say a perfectly functional sweater w/ pilling, or a slight discoloration or w/ever, is ratty looking and "disheveled". If it's not a very fancy brand or something, it likely won't go for even one $ at a thrift store, because there are just such mountains of it at this point. So. If your things are not in decent condition (OR otherwise desirable enough that they're worth repairing + possible to repair), it's actually better to throw them in the trash than to burden a charity-run thriftstore w/ them. Their by far biggest expense is the labor of going through the mountains of clothes donated. Yes we are doomed as a species.
I second the ‘Buy slowly’ tip! I got addicted to HIIT and lost a lot of weight that I went from wearing XXL to M. Got too excited and I bought a ton of clothes. Now, due to the style of training, I didn’t really gain muscle so when I switched my training style and started to gain some, my size naturally went back up and now I’m a size L. So now I basically need to repurchase my entire wardrobe since they don’t fit me anymore and it’s such a pain since some of them I can’t find anymore and the whole process is expensive.
Same! Lost 41kg in less than 8 months, and I kept buying clothes throughout... Wasted a lot of money, and right know I can only wear 2 pair of pants and 3 hoodies 😅 Nobody told me this was going to be a problem lmao
Hi , I'm Lily from Indonesia. A week ago I met my friends outside for a night chill and decided for the first time to use a long oversize pants and a hoodie. Usually I always used long skirt to make it polite. But when my friend said "You look tall and stylist", I started to think that I don't really know how to dress and pull my body structure. It was such an unimportant moment, maybe they have forget about it, but really changed me. Thats why I'm glad to watch this video and knowing you (even if I'm late ehe) coz entering 20s, is a real deal. Thank youu ^.^
I'm a woman, a new subscriber, and love watching your videos! I'm not a style beginner, but everyone needs a refresher and reminder now and then. Plus, the production value on your videos is incredible and they're so aesthetically pleasing to watch 😅
I like how his suggestions are attainable and based in real life situations. I agree 100% on adapting your clothing style to your profession and keeping it as comfortable as possible. It doesn't make any sense to follow a trend or a particular style that might look very appealing at first but lacks comfort and functionality.
One tip that wasn't talked about here, if you're in an area with extreme seasonal changes (like me in Canada), having staples for different seasons is really important! I wouldn't wear jeans, or sweaters when it's really hot in summer, but I also can't wear shorts in winter. Don't buy things in every colour really gets me, but helps. I found a pair of jeans that fits me perfectly, and I'd love to get more, like black ones, light wash ones, etc. But I like the idea of a slightly different style, I might go for a slightly different cut next time. They're also Levi's from a liquidation sale, so I'll likely never find a $60 pair of jeans down to $15 again in the style I want. I also sew, which makes it hard to resist the urge to use the same pattern in tons of different fabrics. If I do, like with my favourte summer pants style, I try to do something different, like a different waistband, slightly different shape, or different pockets, and very different fabrics. I did one with a denim inspired voile, and another pair with tie-dye in colours that match a lot of my clothes (I wear a lot of blues). I've also been donating a lot of stuff as I recently moved and took the chance to go through my clothes so I wouldn't be moving a bunch of stuff I don't want. I was surprised about how much stuff I had, that I hadn't worn in about 4 years! I got rid of a lot, including gifts that I didn't really like to begin with, but didn't want to offend anyone by getting rid of it. Moving just provided me with a good opportunity to go through stuff.
Crazy!! I‘m just wearing the same shirt every day… got it more than 10 times. And the same trousers, too! Just switching the shoes and it gives me so much headspace!
Thanks Tim! I've been listening to your tips for a few years now and they really help me get more comfortable with my own style and to have an 'upgraded wardrobe'. Until now your tips are still super useful and thank you again for sharing & inspiring us.
This really thought me a lot. When I first started watching you a couple months ago, I basically overhaul my style. I had a bunch of clothes that I would probably wear only a handful times a year and that help me to pass those on to younger siblings or family members. There are multiple mistakes that you mentioned in this video that I definitely made and my goal is to work on them and become aware of how much money I'm spending and caring for the environment to not create waste. Although I have learned and made my fashion intentional, i found that I am still over buying because it's a deal, this video is helping me come back on the right path. Moving forward, I will try to incorporate all those given advice in my daily fashion life. Thank you very much Tim.
I love your content, it's super clean and helpful I'm a woman and I know your channel focus in fashion for men, but your tips are sometimes what I need
Man all people I know who are into fashion won’t tell where they have their stuff from, scared of being copied and I just saw you included a link for each item. GOAT
a thing I do is I keep the tab for the item open, keep it there until I make enough money to buy 2 and then decide if it was worth the work and that's when I make the choice!
I got a shirt with many pictures of Ryan gosling in front of a fiery background and "My mom thinks I'm beautiful" written on top, so I think doing pretty good for myself
Bit of advice, if you have the time then start learning about investing money too. It's never too early and since you're young you can afford to make a few mistakes. :)
@@wafflewaffle8529 read up on ETF's (also called index funds or trackers). It's literally the easiest and best way of investing your money. In short: index funds contain shares of hundreds of companies in the industry you chose (= spreading risk). Buying individual stocks is a waste of time and carries huge risks. An incredible amount of professional investors (those with millions if not billions at their hands) fail to beat the market, so what are you gonna do with your budget? Trackers simply follow the market and these days it's very easy to purchase them. Just choose a few of them (it doesn't even matter, as your risk is spread very well in only 1 tracker even) and buy into them monthly. The initial time investment is the biggest and takes 6h max (finding and setting up a broker, finding etf's), after that you need 5 minutes every month to buy some more shares in your trackers.
I thought of organizing by colour but I didn't. For my t-shirt pile for example, newly washed ones go at the bottom. So I would always pick up those that have been washed for a while. This ensures proper rotation. If I really want to pick a color, I would still pick it but it would be the top most of that colour. Same goes for hanged shirts and pants where newly washed ones go on the left. Then I pick the right.
The two most important things I feel are how comfortable the item is and to try not to impulse buy all my clothes. It’s hard but it’s something I’m trying harder to change
Thank you for this so much! I am a bit of a masculine-presenting woman without a defined sense of fasion, and out of all the style tips I've seen so far, yours have resonated with me far more than anything else. I feel like I'm perfecting my outfits every day since I found your channel ❤️
I wish this video was around when I was younger! My introduction to fashion was streetwear, especially sneakers. I got the confirmed app and went in on as many 350's drops as possible. Now I have 10 different colorways and have only wore 1 or 2 of them. At least I can resell them, but it was a good lesson to learn.
Absolutely agree with the last advice to avoid impulsive buy. Whatever non essential items, I write them in a list, if I still want it after few weeks or 2 months then I’ll probably buy it.
I came up with similar tips when buying watches. Saving it for a few weeks before you pull the trigger is a great idea. I've saved so much money doing this.
Hi Tim! Ive binge watched and rewatched many of your videos numerous times for the last couple of weeks. Your way of presenting, explaining, showcasing is extremely entertaining and interesting to watch. Although I personally like any videos you post, a video idea for the future that many might be interested in, would be “the most expensive items i regret buying”. I personally would really like to see a short of you talking about your new rick owens shoes, in the sense if they are well made, comfortable and so on, so your general thoughts on the shoe
1. DON’T think there is one singular way clothes should fit 2. DON’T buy things in every color (this is what I needed to hear most) 3. DON’T buy into every trend 4. DON’T buy something just because it’s a bargain 5. DON’T keep clothing that doesn’t suit you (sell / give away your clothes!) 6. DO identify your wardrobe staples 7. DO put comfort above all 8. DO dress for your lifestyle 9. DO organize your wardrobe well 10. DO buy slowly and intentionally
Hey Tim, can u please make a video on just how u organize and fold your clothes? I fold my sweaters and tshjrts but whenever I go out to pick one, its hard not to mess up the pile and wrinkle the other clothes.. Is there an easier/better way to go about this? Or is this just something I'll have to deal with?
I just try to neatly lift the pile above the item I’m taking out. Don’t have some secret hack for you unfortunately, it’s just about being meticulous and organized with it :)
Some people store their folded clothes vertically, like books on a bookshelf, in drawers. Mind that if you go this route, you can only take out a few clothes at a time or everything will topple over.
Love your tips. I am very good at not buying stuff in the moment. I always think: "ok it looks pretty in the shop but will it look good at home?" and then I am rarely happy with an item.
You are a breath of fresh air. Your channel is exactly what I needed in my life right now. It almost simplified my decision on what to wear. Thank you so much. 😊
DO put comfort above all, I like this also because there are probably subtle ways our body will respond to discomfort, perhaps lack of confidence for example.
My OH MY, you are an eye opener! I have never gone through a video and felt so informative abt fashion in my life! I felt like this was something I needed to know as I am stepping into my 20s. Really love the last tip!
I think it's still fine if you still wear them often! his point on that tip is the amount of times you'll wear it. when it's uncomfortable to wear, you usually get hesitant to wear them often.
Yeah, if you're actually wearing it that's fine, unless it's something that will seriously f*ck up your body long term. Probably only applies to terrible shoes, possibly some bags. You're probably younger, as a 40-yo w/ a physical job & a crap body I say enjoy prioritizing looks while you can 😂
A friend once told me that items of clothing either love you or they don't. If you find an item that loves you, wear it til it falls apart because you'll be guaranteed to be totally comfortable that way. It's the only fashion advice I've ever followed.
Having entered my 20s a few years ago, these are some really welcomed and helpful tips for someone who's looking to develop their personal style and build a wardeobe they like. Thank you Tim! As a side note, I know you listed an alternative, but I really need to know what those brown smart trousers are in part 6, or if anyone else knows?
Your videos are very, very entertaining and full of useful knowledge!! I find your jokes pretty funny and the bloopers at the end always bring a wide smile to my face :]
Many places have a public donation bin accessible a few minutes from their house. It's super easy for me to get rid of any clothes I don't want and even gives me peace of mind that shirts that are still in good condition for wearing are going to people who can use it.
I struggle most with letting stuff go. I always keep old worn out clothing for wearing around the house or getting dirty. But, it’s to the point I have little room for new clothing
This vid made me realize i have to declutter my clothes cause i dont wear half of them and im currently struggling on how to manage every piece of clothing and finding good pieces to wear.
8:25 that's what I did.... I could have buy 3-4 jackets but I thinked carefully and save some more money and bought a $600 jacket... I am in love with it
Video well done Tim! I can tell you're passionate about fashion and after watching this video and feeling what I felt, I can tell that I am too. Thanks man
The buy slowly tip is something I do a little too hard, where I'll see something I like but end up basically forgetting about it and never buying lol which is why I still wear a lot of the same clothes from high school and college
Honestly love the last 30 seconds of the video. Also, great advice will definitely use the 5 tips and one-week review when choosing clothes more often. (Will also prioritise comfort).
also dont let someone else influence you too much. i spent so much money on clothes i bought because a friend (or even worse my mom) liked them/told me they’d look good on me. most of the time i end up not liking and therefore not wearing those pieces. but i also can’t get rid of them because i dont want to hurt anyones feelings (still working on that haha).
Hard part w/ 3:36 is that the bargain aspect tends to warp your perception of how much you like it. Like, if it (supposedly) used to be $150, it just tends to look like a better thing at $40 than a similar thing with an msrp of $40. I once had a partner who would grab the item I was eyeing at outlet stores, hide the price tag and be like "JUST LOOK AT THE THING, WHAT WOULD YOU PAY FOR IT? WHAT IS THIS WORTH TO YOU" which was fucking brilliant and I think about it often when browsing clothes.
in my early 30s finally discovering what last and truely suits me if only i knew also in my 20s lol its amazing how at 20 i really didnt think much about fasion outside of brands and going to the mall.
I did make the mistake to buy clothes that I weren't fully comfortable with and didn't thought about what items would fit with the clothes I just bought many times before. Especially the comfort problem is what I can completely relate to out of the things you mentioned in this video.
Don’t worry this present you will say I wish I knew before because once your on your 40s some of these trends will fade. The slim fit & regular style will be forever be a option, that’s my only go to.
This vid came up randomly and im glad it did im currently going through a damn crisis with buying shit i dont need and i feel like i have a serious problem. Vids like this help me to realise i dont need to buy everything just because its new. Gona subscribe!
lovely vid! I recently decided to revamp my wardrobe so it made me feel super good thing i already started doing some of the stuff you covered before even watching this vid.
Well I agree that you should take out all those clothes you won't need or no longer wear. I should fix my wardrobe soon, but sometimes I feel hesitant because I don't know where I should take it but now my cabinet are in mess (even though I've never really bought any) and those clothes I don't wear take a lot of space in my cabinet.
Hello Tim, I just recently discovered your channel, and I absolutely love it! This video was especially helpful even though I'm a woman! You give a lot of good tips that I can use too. I especially buy unisex business clothes like button-down shirts in the men's department. Keep up the good work, and stay blessed! 🙌
Tim, another great work from you. Love it! Could you make a video about body posture (sit, stand, walk, carry a bag) and how to pose in photography shooting? Would really appreciate if you could teach us.
Bought a short sleeve shirt from H&M this summer for 6€… didn’t think much of it at first, didnt think i’d wear it a lot but it was my most worn outfit this summer😅
a few months ago i watched a video where a girl youtuber proved that an okay outfit on a girl would look 10x better on a man. n it really worked seriously. it's shockingly good. i would love to see you try this out for a video bcs ive never seen any mens fashion youtubers do one
I have more appreciation for personal style and fashion now after becoming a subscriber to this channel. Always looking forward to your videos man! Sending love from the Philippines!
10. is the hardest especially when the item is on sale and may get sold out. I feel sometimes it is okay to buy it and sit with the item in hand, then just return it if it doesn't meet the 5 criteria. Occasionally an item may meet the criteria, wait 7 days but it still doesn't feel right on body. Although arguably the most patient method would be to save the item at the start of each season and wait longer
I'm a new viewer and I'm enjoying your content, I find it really helpful. I personally can't wear fitting shirts because I'm not too comfortable with how my upper body looks, so I appreciate the tips for oversized shirts and how to style them!
I really love your videos brotha it's helping me a lot for real especially since I buy shit that I feel I need and don't wear them and now watching this I figured out what I should have in my closet.
Hey, that is the exact method I organize my wardrobe! However , I'm not into organizing or have ocd. I'm chaotic in general but have some rules so my life gets easier.
When I no longer have use for my clothes, and they’re still in decent condition I offer them to family first, then friends And then if I know of any homeless in walking distance of where I stay, I offer it to them. The only time I don’t do this, is when it’s the pieces I spent more money on, the pieces from proxy brands. In which case, I sell them. When no one wants the clothes I am trying to get rid of I will donate them to places like goodwill Aside from the ones I intend to sell, I will hold off trying to sell them for a long time before I donate them, and I will try to give those pieces to family or friends before donating them :)
I'm still just wearing the clothes my parents bought me in high school, because I only leave my apartment for work, which has a uniform I have to follow, or to go to wal-mart for my weekly groceries. Other than that I just sit at home in pajamas. Honestly, I'm not sure why UA-cam suggested this video to me either, but it was mildly entertaining.
Cheers TIm 👌 the principle about dressing for your lifestyle is a key one, especially as you get older and your life changes. Also definitely need those last 5 rules to keep the spending slow and real 😅😅 very useful vid!
Organizing your wardrobe is one of the most fulfilling things right there. Once I did this I never went back

To be honest I already had this in my head but still it's nice to see it written(filmed??) down and summarized!
I came up with similar tips when buying watches. Saving it for a few weeks before you pull the trigger is a great idea. I've saved so much money doing this.
Hi Tim! Ive binge watched and rewatched many of your videos numerous times for the last couple of weeks. Your way of presenting, explaining, showcasing is extremely entertaining and interesting to watch. Although I personally like any videos you post, a video idea for the future that many might be interested in, would be “the most expensive items i regret buying”. I personally would really like to see a short of you talking about your new rick owens shoes, in the sense if they are well made, comfortable and so on, so your general thoughts on the shoe
Bro got zero drip. He dress like the guy that gets friend zoned
1. DON’T think there is one singular way clothes should fit
2. DON’T buy things in every color (this is what I needed to hear most)
3. DON’T buy into every trend
4. DON’T buy something just because it’s a bargain
5. DON’T keep clothing that doesn’t suit you (sell / give away your clothes!)
6. DO identify your wardrobe staples
7. DO put comfort above all
8. DO dress for your lifestyle
9. DO organize your wardrobe well
10. DO buy slowly and intentionally
Hey Tim, can u please make a video on just how u organize and fold your clothes? I fold my sweaters and tshjrts but whenever I go out to pick one, its hard not to mess up the pile and wrinkle the other clothes.. Is there an easier/better way to go about this? Or is this just something I'll have to deal with?
I just try to neatly lift the pile above the item I’m taking out. Don’t have some secret hack for you unfortunately, it’s just about being meticulous and organized with it :)
Some people store their folded clothes vertically, like books on a bookshelf, in drawers. Mind that if you go this route, you can only take out a few clothes at a time or everything will topple over.
@@TimDessaint thanks for the reply. Was really hoping you had some magic trick you could share with us haha. Anyways, always love your videos.
@@TheNunakun this kind of what I'm experiencing now when I am looking for something to wear. Maybe I just need to get rid of some clothes haha
My advice would be to look at how the clothes are folded and try to mimic it if you're putting it back.
Love your tips. I am very good at not buying stuff in the moment. I always think: "ok it looks pretty in the shop but will it look good at home?" and then I am rarely happy with an item.
You are a breath of fresh air. Your channel is exactly what I needed in my life right now. It almost simplified my decision on what to wear. Thank you so much. 😊
DO put comfort above all, I like this also because there are probably subtle ways our body will respond to discomfort, perhaps lack of confidence for example.
Thank you for adding the lifestyle tip. I was worried I was buying to many training clothes 😅... but I go to the gym 4 to 6 times a week.
Love these tips! I actually just did a wardrobe clean out recently, makes me feel mentally clear and can pair things easier and better!
i bought trousers online and had them hanging, not being sure. Thanks, Tim, i immediately returned them, think I was never gonna wear them ! 👏🏾
My OH MY, you are an eye opener! I have never gone through a video and felt so informative abt fashion in my life! I felt like this was something I needed to know as I am stepping into my 20s. Really love the last tip!
I still struggle with number 7. Even if the shoes or the outfit is not too comfortable, I still wear it because I love the way it looks.
I think it's still fine if you still wear them often! his point on that tip is the amount of times you'll wear it. when it's uncomfortable to wear, you usually get hesitant to wear them often.
Yeah, if you're actually wearing it that's fine, unless it's something that will seriously f*ck up your body long term. Probably only applies to terrible shoes, possibly some bags.
You're probably younger, as a 40-yo w/ a physical job & a crap body I say enjoy prioritizing looks while you can 😂
love your channel so much man
A friend once told me that items of clothing either love you or they don't. If you find an item that loves you, wear it til it falls apart because you'll be guaranteed to be totally comfortable that way. It's the only fashion advice I've ever followed.
Having entered my 20s a few years ago, these are some really welcomed and helpful tips for someone who's looking to develop their personal style and build a wardeobe they like. Thank you Tim!
As a side note, I know you listed an alternative, but I really need to know what those brown smart trousers are in part 6, or if anyone else knows?
These are actually good tips. Figured a few out myself through trail and error but fr I’d listen to this man
Organizing your wardrobe is one of the most fulfilling things right there
Your videos are very, very entertaining and full of useful knowledge!! I find your jokes pretty funny and the bloopers at the end always bring a wide smile to my face :]
Last tip is a life changer! Thanks for the valuable info
Many places have a public donation bin accessible a few minutes from their house. It's super easy for me to get rid of any clothes I don't want and even gives me peace of mind that shirts that are still in good condition for wearing are going to people who can use it.
Great advice. Much more codified than I might have done but how you choose quality, carefully is good planning.
I struggle most with letting stuff go. I always keep old worn out clothing for wearing around the house or getting dirty. But, it’s to the point I have little room for new clothing
This vid made me realize i have to declutter my clothes cause i dont wear half of them and im currently struggling on how to manage every piece of clothing and finding good pieces to wear.
all of this was great. i find it interesting that light-to-heavy is right-to-left in my head
8:25 that's what I did....
I could have buy 3-4 jackets but I thinked carefully and save some more money and bought a $600 jacket... I am in love with it
Great video ! The bloopers section was the cherry on top 😄
Video well done Tim! I can tell you're passionate about fashion and after watching this video and feeling what I felt, I can tell that I am too. Thanks man
Hey Tim! Please make a video about bags, what type of bags are best with types of outfits! Been a fan of yours for months now!
I love the placement of the 'X' and 'checkmark' in your thumbnail to this video. Oh my!😁😂
Tim Dessaint out here blessing my morning
I got you 👊
your editing still getting better. crazy to see the growth. appreciate ya Tim
Thank you for your kind words man! Appreciate you 🙏
The buy slowly tip is something I do a little too hard, where I'll see something I like but end up basically forgetting about it and never buying lol which is why I still wear a lot of the same clothes from high school and college
Honestly love the last 30 seconds of the video. Also, great advice will definitely use the 5 tips and one-week review when choosing clothes more often. (Will also prioritise comfort).
also dont let someone else influence you too much. i spent so much money on clothes i bought because a friend (or even worse my mom) liked them/told me they’d look good on me. most of the time i end up not liking and therefore not wearing those pieces. but i also can’t get rid of them because i dont want to hurt anyones feelings (still working on that haha).
Hard part w/ 3:36 is that the bargain aspect tends to warp your perception of how much you like it. Like, if it (supposedly) used to be $150, it just tends to look like a better thing at $40 than a similar thing with an msrp of $40.
I once had a partner who would grab the item I was eyeing at outlet stores, hide the price tag and be like "JUST LOOK AT THE THING, WHAT WOULD YOU PAY FOR IT? WHAT IS THIS WORTH TO YOU" which was fucking brilliant and I think about it often when browsing clothes.
in my early 30s finally discovering what last and truely suits me if only i knew also in my 20s lol its amazing how at 20 i really didnt think much about fasion outside of brands and going to the mall.
I did make the mistake to buy clothes that I weren't fully comfortable with and didn't thought about what items would fit with the clothes I just bought many times before. Especially the comfort problem is what I can completely relate to out of the things you mentioned in this video.
bro i think you should upload weekly. we are obsessed with your content
Really useful advice there, Tim. You taught financial management as well as personal fashion. Touche, my guy
That last tip applies to every major buy in life!
Don’t worry this present you will say I wish I knew before because once your on your 40s some of these trends will fade. The slim fit & regular style will be forever be a option, that’s my only go to.
This vid came up randomly and im glad it did im currently going through a damn crisis with buying shit i dont need and i feel like i have a serious problem. Vids like this help me to realise i dont need to buy everything just because its new. Gona subscribe!
lovely vid! I recently decided to revamp my wardrobe so it made me feel super good thing i already started doing some of the stuff you covered before even watching this vid.
Well I agree that you should take out all those clothes you won't need or no longer wear. I should fix my wardrobe soon, but sometimes I feel hesitant because I don't know where I should take it but now my cabinet are in mess (even though I've never really bought any) and those clothes I don't wear take a lot of space in my cabinet.
I do appreciate this soundtrack. It’s so fresh and edgy! Also, always love your videos. Nail it every time
Really appreciate the chapter organization so I can scroll to the tips I hadn't thought of
Hello Tim, I just recently discovered your channel, and I absolutely love it! This video was especially helpful even though I'm a woman! You give a lot of good tips that I can use too. I especially buy unisex business clothes like button-down shirts in the men's department. Keep up the good work, and stay blessed! 🙌
Tim, another great work from you. Love it!
Could you make a video about body posture (sit, stand, walk, carry a bag) and how to pose in photography shooting?
Would really appreciate if you could teach us.
Bought a short sleeve shirt from H&M this summer for 6€… didn’t think much of it at first, didnt think i’d wear it a lot but it was my most worn outfit this summer😅
If only I had this video 10 years ago 😢😂! Great work as always Tim.. Ps, table tennis rematch needed soon 😂!
Let’s do it 🏓
a few months ago i watched a video where a girl youtuber proved that an okay outfit on a girl would look 10x better on a man. n it really worked seriously. it's shockingly good. i would love to see you try this out for a video bcs ive never seen any mens fashion youtubers do one
I have more appreciation for personal style and fashion now after becoming a subscriber to this channel. Always looking forward to your videos man! Sending love from the Philippines!
I'm a major homebody but i like to "dress to impress" when i go out.
I like to leave an impression
I ran to my wardrobe to organize it and got rid of 15+ unused clothes thanks to your video.
10. is the hardest especially when the item is on sale and may get sold out. I feel sometimes it is okay to buy it and sit with the item in hand, then just return it if it doesn't meet the 5 criteria. Occasionally an item may meet the criteria, wait 7 days but it still doesn't feel right on body. Although arguably the most patient method would be to save the item at the start of each season and wait longer
Really like the editing ! I don't know if you've changed things up recently but it's striking me as so much cooler and original ! Good job 👌👌
Thank you! We’re always evolving and trying to improve the production quality at every video. Glad to hear it’s not going unnoticed!
I'm a new viewer and I'm enjoying your content, I find it really helpful. I personally can't wear fitting shirts because I'm not too comfortable with how my upper body looks, so I appreciate the tips for oversized shirts and how to style them!
I really love your videos brotha it's helping me a lot for real especially since I buy shit that I feel I need and don't wear them and now watching this I figured out what I should have in my closet.
Thanks for the tips! I wish I could have a fashionista friend, like you, who will comment about my outfits and will recommend better clothes.
Your vids always come in the right time man, absolute bangers
Just found your channel, the second definitely help me a lot!
Hey, that is the exact method I organize my wardrobe! However , I'm not into organizing or have ocd. I'm chaotic in general but have some rules so my life gets easier.
I love your aesthetic! It really fits my style in my 40s
True and also each brand has a different take on sizes. You can be smaLL in another brand and medium on another.
When I no longer have use for my clothes, and they’re still in decent condition
I offer them to family first, then friends
And then if I know of any homeless in walking distance of where I stay, I offer it to them.
The only time I don’t do this, is when it’s the pieces I spent more money on, the pieces from proxy brands. In which case, I sell them.
When no one wants the clothes I am trying to get rid of I will donate them to places like goodwill
Aside from the ones I intend to sell, I will hold off trying to sell them for a long time before I donate them, and I will try to give those pieces to family or friends before donating them :)
I'm still just wearing the clothes my parents bought me in high school, because I only leave my apartment for work, which has a uniform I have to follow, or to go to wal-mart for my weekly groceries. Other than that I just sit at home in pajamas. Honestly, I'm not sure why UA-cam suggested this video to me either, but it was mildly entertaining.
Cheers TIm 👌 the principle about dressing for your lifestyle is a key one, especially as you get older and your life changes. Also definitely need those last 5 rules to keep the spending slow and real 😅😅 very useful vid!
