She'd be covering his outfit in every episode for at least the first four seasons. He almost always got the short end of the stick fashion-wise - which made sense, given his terrible home life - until he held down a job that paid decently and was presumably able to stop relying on whatever second hand stuff was available at the time.
the fandom is still verrryyyy active, there are tons of Buffy reactors on UA-cam and there are a lot of essay videos on the show too; I recommend Passion of the nerd's episode guides, they get better and better with time (he hasn't done the whole show yet, he's very sparse with the videos lately) but he basically metabolizes a lot of what the Buffy studies have produced throughout the years and synthetizes it into great (and humorous) analyses of about 10 to 30 min videos about each episode. I think you should watch at least the videos about your fav episodes to see if you like them.
@@LisaFevral I'd love to see you do some Disney videos like ranking the signature dresses or just talking about one project at a time, some scifi/fantasy ones like Farscape, Star Wars etc. Or just more shows in general. Talking about these hyper stylized outfits from a realistic standpoint is so inspiring. The world needs s'more whimsy
16:45 i kinda think that in season 4 Buffy’s outfits generally had less edge, cause she was in a stable lovey-dovey relationship with Riley, who was the typical basic good American citizen archetype
OMG Lisa, i was watching your last video thinking "should i comment asking her to comment the fashion on Buffy". And you did it. Buffy is my fav show ever, it brings me back to when i was a kid
Love your analysis on the outfits! I think Buffy’s outfits often reflect how she’s doing in life, like how she often wears overalls when she’s sad. I read somewhere that heir hairstyles also reflect what she is going through, and having watched the show many times I noticed how in the funny/quirky episodes (mainly season 4) she often wears crimped/curly hair.
The way I'd have a Buffy deep five from you ON REPEAT at all times if you dropped one!! Lisa I love your deep dives! It'd be such an actual SLAY!! And I wanna hear you shit talk ALL HER FRIENDS!!
Yes! I enjoy aspects of the other characters on Buffy, but it’s one of the few ensemble shows where the main character IS the best character. Would protect and defend Buffy at all costs.
14:37 that's actually a pretty spot-on early / mid-90s look, especially with the styling of the hair! It's just that tricky spot you get into where the earlier part of a decade looks more like the decade before, and as a character who's supposed to be a younger almost kid at that point, it makes sense that her fashion would not be on the absolute cutting edge of 1995 fashion. Also yes please to the full on deep dive. This show was also before my time but I have always loved it and the early years seasons are my favorite specifically because of the fashion
I always hated the pink dress look (10:14) Buffy wore to her birthday party but in retrospect, I think it represents how her understanding of herself and her place amongst her friends is totally gone after LA. She's lost and trying desperately to define who she is. The fugly dress reflects that.
You should watch Angel too :) !! Drusilla shows up again, and there's some background and world building, like you said you wanted. Cordelia is also in Angel, with great outfits and interesting hairstyles. If you're not a huge fan of Angel, still give the show a try because I actually disliked Angel while watching Buffy but then I started watching Angel and now I really enjoy his character
What I enjoy about the Buffy styling over all is that there is a pretty large variety of styles on the characters that works with their personality but it never feels like a costume. Low bar perhaps, but with teen media I feel it happens too often that styling will fall into stereotypes/Halloween costume territory. For example Faith could have easily been styled as a stereotypical punk or goth but they made her real. Same even with the one off vampires and such!
Being an old lady (I am the same age as Buffy's little sister), in the early 90's to mid-90's we still did looks that seemed a bit similar to the 80's. It's accurate.
Buffy is my absolute favorite show but I’m glad someone finally said it out loud: her friends are awful 😭 except Tara but idk if she even counts as a friend… The fluffy brown and black jacket at the beginning has a Tiger pattern btw (I’ve been searching for one like this since I watched that episode 😂)
!!! totally agree abt Dru and im happy u love her too! She is such a great and rare kind of character that gets to be feminine and cruel but not in a femme fatale kind of way. also omg i need u to talk abt anya tho
re: the styling of her 15-year-old self looking 80s, this is likely a nod to the original movie which came out in 1992, where there was a lot of holdover fashion from the 80s
Im also in the Xander slander boat. He was so annoying, I get it highschool has a lot of confusing hormones, but a lot of the time he's just kinda there as a pick me first for Buffy, and when he gets with Cordi its kinda cute, but then he's gotta fuck it up with Willow when objectively Willow and Oz are a much better pairing. And just in general i think a lot of it is the Joss Wheadon sense of humor that bleeds through the character that is ver grating
Ahhh i love Buffy so much im excited to see you cover the fashion in it, because It’s so fun!!! I love a lot of spikes looks as well it’s so fun. Edit: Yeah a lot of people hate Xander. I like him sometimes but a lot of times im like “no pls leave”
You made my dream come true!~~ I was anticipating for this video, Lisa! And you mentioned Buffy's glasses!!!!!! :D I feel like people don't talk about it enough. I live for her glasses and her skirts... I didn't had the habit of wearing skirts, but Buffy's are sooooo cute that encouraged me to wear it more often. :) PS: Your hair looks so cute with those layers, girl! I loved it so much! PS²: BUFFY DEEP DIVEEEEEE!!!!
I need a second and third part, please 😭 And definitely a deep dive on Buffy’s friends - I think Willow was always my favourite and she has a lot going on herself, I also love Anya too who was always so wild and out of touch in the best way possible 😹
As Buffy is my favourite show and I love the fashion in the first two seasons and also often can't stand her friends (especially Xander) I'd love a deep dive!
Before she was in Buffy, the woman who played Jenny was Prince's spokesperson - if you look up Diamond and Pearl you can see her in a lot of high fashion outfits through a lot of amazing music videos.
I love her clothes the most in season 1. She does a lot of dresses with leather jackets and knee high boots. Very freaking 90s for sure. I tried to dress just like her back then which I was a freshman when the show started
I also love micro bangs! I think it looks good on Buffy/SMG! (but also like yeah what actually looks bad on her..?) I also immediately think of them on Courtney Cox in whichever Scream movie. you're so right about the costuming of the show! 26:14 It's something I've realized more over the past few years, especially as I've also checked out some more recent shows and contemporarily set movies, which seem really one-note to me. If a character does have a evident style it's usually something that can be categorized in one word and is pretty stereotypical and less authentic- not only for the character and presentation of the show. The Buffyverse is in my top 10 shows! omg you mentioning The Vampire Diaries- I haven't even finished that & The Originals but everyone wears the same few types of outfits and it irks me so badly. namely the Elena-core look and the shirt + jeans + leather jacket look. stooop. I particularly hated that latter look on Rebekah because she seemed like a fashion girly in scenes that take place in the past.
10:53 - I think the dress is supposed to referencing a Regency style, where the waist is lifted to not far under the bust and the fitting is, indeed, relaxed. Regency period clothing took its influence from Ancient Greek/Roman styles. So that would explain, I think, the fit, which, if I'm right, is as intended.
I love this so much. I remember the clothes from seasons 1-3 particularly well, because I had seen some pieces in Seventeen magazine while the show was airing. All kinds of cool shit that I could not afford. ;)
I think the prom dress needed some jewelry... a nice statement necklace if the hair was down, not too big, but more than a tiny pendant, and one that would catch and refract light. If the hair was up... some simple dangling earrings with a touch of sparkle. The first kind I imagined was something like three slender chains of various lengths with a little gemstone at the end of each.
All of these fashion breakdowns ho-lee. I know that you pick these specific franchises because they're personally important to you, but I can't help but imagine an analysis of Bleach from you would go so hard.
I need to rewatch Buffy, I love the lore and the character herself. If you are interested, you should do a deep dive. I love your outfit in the video, a nice slay (no pun intended).
I love how Spike also known as William the bloody looks like a Vampiric Billy Idol, if you take request I suggest Nickelodeon’s teen sitcoms “Victorious”, “iCarly”, “Make it Pop” and “Every Witch Way” fashion crimes against humanity.
A Buffy deep dive would be an absolute slay!
Yess I literally grew up watching buffy (from the age of probably 5/6) with my sister and mum
YES
yeah and it's still popular, relatively more popular than w.i.t.c.h or bratz at least so it needs a deep dive too, plz 😣
omg i just started watching it with my mom and i’m obsessed would love a buffy deep dive
@@themindofnd pun intended
when you said you dont want to talk about everything under the sun , i cackled cause vampires are not supposed to be under the sun 💀
YESSS BUFFY DEEP DIVE!!!
YES PLEASE
I second this!!
Yes do it if YOU want to
Im not used to comment like never... but yes we want buffy Deep dive, its one of my faves tvshows so of course
Ignoring Xander is so real
I have my limits ahahah
he also has the worst fashion sense in the entire show.
I hate him with a fiery passion so you are not alone sis

@@LisaFevralyou’re my best friend I really like you Lisa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Buffy is also dressed as a good lil girl in early to mid season 3 to greater show the divide between her and Faith.
Yeah I agree! They def wanted to underline that difference but I think their characters would’ve been enough of a difference regardless haha
the fandom is still verrryyyy active, there are tons of Buffy reactors on UA-cam and there are a lot of essay videos on the show too; I recommend Passion of the nerd's episode guides, they get better and better with time (he hasn't done the whole show yet, he's very sparse with the videos lately) but he basically metabolizes a lot of what the Buffy studies have produced throughout the years and synthetizes it into great (and humorous) analyses of about 10 to 30 min videos about each episode. I think you should watch at least the videos about your fav episodes to see if you like them.
I'll check out those vids that they made on seasons that I already took notes on(I try to not see anyones opinions on shows before I form my own hehe)
+1 for Passion of the Nerd, my Buffy creator of choice
Sarah Michelle Gellar in the media was the better side of Y2K Fashion.
Ikr omg icon lvl
I feel like I’m being haunted seeing you everywhere lol, we must really like the same shows
@@LisaFevralcan you watch the little vampire live action and 3d movie of if their two of them
Also I think Buffy looks so different at 15 because she didn't know she was the slayer yet and that changed her very quickly.
Yeah I think so too, that’s the only plausible explanation really
Plus with all the drama of her parents splitting, moving to a whole new town while keeping a secret, and being seen as a delinquent teen by her mom
@@prismspherestotally. So much for a kid to go through 😢
You mean clothing wise?
I used to really envy these lewks but then I realized I can buy flowy tops and then wear them and the rest, as they say, is herstory.
Yessss flowy tops for the win

Oh yeah helga has so many great looks
A buffy video !!!!! My number 1 special interest!! I'm so locked in girl!! Please do a deepdive!
‼️‼️
A Lisa Fevral Buffy deepdive would cure me!
OMG Lisa, i was watching your last video thinking "should i comment asking her to comment the fashion on Buffy". And you did it. Buffy is my fav show ever, it brings me back to when i was a kid

her nails are so interesting!

Oh my god, I would die for a Buffy deep dive from you! There’s definitely not enough content for that show on UA-cam❤
Yes, I want a Deep dive of Buffy, I wanna know about your beef with Xander in detail

The fluffy brown and black jacket at the beginning has a Tiger pattern btw (I’ve been searching for one like this since I watched that episode 😂)
They genuinely hurt MY feelings and I’m not Buffy, AND they’re fictional
That’s how awful they are
I think Willow was chill in season one, but the rest of Buffy’s quality in friends went down hill pretty fast
@LXLA255 agree
i just think ur confusion at like 8:13 is so funny ive just subscribed. anyways these looks did slay
!!! totally agree abt Dru and im happy u love her too! She is such a great and rare kind of character that gets to be feminine and cruel but not in a femme fatale kind of way. also omg i need u to talk abt anya tho
At 8:30 she's wearing a tiger print jacket! That pale tan was really popular as a tiger print color in the 90s rather than a bright orange.
Ohhh yeah you’re right
I was just watching Buffy the vampire slayer pilot and Bamn this comes up. Talk about perfect timing!
re: the styling of her 15-year-old self looking 80s, this is likely a nod to the original movie which came out in 1992, where there was a lot of holdover fashion from the 80s

I love Buffy and have my own leopard dress leather jacket combo inspired by the same scene in the show

Very surprised you haven't made a video about The Nanny, Fran's fashion is iconic

Thank you🥰🥰
so true about the microbangs. they always slay(lol) if microbangs have no fans i am dead

Even if it’a not a full deep dive I’d watch more Buffy content for sure!

Buffy is classic. You have to watch the spinoff Angel too. And the original movie.
