Interesting topic. Personally, I've taken a step back from the consumerist side of fashion and have essentially been taking clothes I already own, but don't really wear and have been morphing them into something I would wear.
This is next level shit. I’ve been overwhelmed as well and in an effort to refrain from buying drip that I don’t need, I removed all my social apps and clothings apps to challenge myself. It’s been about two months since I’ve bought any new clothes. At this point, I don’t miss much about fashion because everyone seems to be dressing the same so it’s gotten a little harder to stand out. I’m no different but I’m just trying to appreciate what I have.. I’ve also removed tiktok from my phone Cuzz that shit is like heroin and I don’t need become addicted to something that doesn’t benefit me in any way. The FOMO is real BUT if you can get through three days without all those distractions, there’s no limit to how far you can take it.
@oh god oh god help I'm just starting out lol. Right now, it's just basic sewing without an actual machine, dye, fabric paint, and fabric markers. Most of this you can find at Walmart. My best advice is just to go for it. If the punks in the 70s could do it, you can too.
Fashion Elitist is the type of guy to tell you to talk to a therapist and workout all your problems so your fashion sense can reflect who you truly are and were meant to be
Learning to sew has really helped me find new avenues to express myself. The fact that with some very basic knowledge I can essentially turn scraps into functional items is also just really cool. My 2 cents, learn to sew, make what you want, customize your stuff, its fun! 😊
100% this! Once I learned to alter clothes I was able to really elevate things for myself by thrifting and adjusting the shape of garments into something I love!
thanks Tanner but that would require having your fashion be merit based, the total opposite of the vapid drivel he's talking about. it takes a truly modern man to look within themselves, see nothing, and then panic that the rest of the world will find out if not for an ambiguous genderfluff monochromatic silhouette. These kids won't even pick up a damn book to fill the existential maw eating away at them...WHY would they risk being pricked by a sewing machine needle?! thanks but no thanks Tanner!
I don’t post my fits online at all and just wear what I like whenever I leave my home Some might think I’m overdressed but I just love my fashion sense
My style sense is "overdressed," too, lol. I'd show up in a floor-length dress, probably with a cloak if it was cold, for something stupid like a walk in a park. Looking elegant is just so pretty to me, but in an 18th century way, not a 21st century way.
I felt really awkward at first going full Yohji but after a couple years it doesn't matter in the slightest. You can dress as wild as you want and nobody will care enough to give you weird looks or tell you not to, some actually give compliments. Even if people think something is weird they won't care enough to voice their opinions and upset a stranger they'll never meet again. It's only the people who like what you're doing who will speak up.
i never realized that all the actors in 300 shaved their chest when I was growing up. Obviously they do, king leonidas has a full beard and not a hair on his chest. Sometimes we don't even realize the lies we believe until we're older.
@@CrazeeFy andddd also their army was structured on sexual exploitation of children. Pedophile generals sexually assualted young boys in their command as this was an expected part of their training. This was based on the god apollo and his boy-toy whose name i forgot. You can also see it in heracles and iolaus - his boy lover. Also zeus and Ganymede, his "cup bearer" (a gross euphamism) who he kidnapped and kept around for his "services". In short, greek masters would take on young apprentices and sexual exploitation was inherent in this. No one seems to mention when romantising the ancient greeks and their "great society"
“There is something about fashion that make people really nervous “__. I remember reading about some macro social trends some years ago called “URL VS. IRL” and editable identities and how you portray yourself as different personalities in different social medias. Of course this was before Tik Tok. Fashion is quite interesting: we all want to be different and unique and irreplaceable, but we also want to be accepted and validated. So we end up compromising a lot. Getting online validation on outfits that “actually” represent you but maybe you still don’t dare to take outside into the public may give you the confidence to allow yourself to be your true self outside. Of course this is kind of an ideal scenario where no one is fake or doing it for the money. Great content!
i always joked about how i would play dress up in my room and follow the crazy fashion world, but i felt the most comfortable wearing “regular clothing”. like after a crazy cool runway show, the designer walks out in a some jeans a tee or a sweater and sneakers or dress shoes. i have now learned to combine both what i visually like and what i am comfortable wearing.
Designers create worlds. Not everyone wants to be a part of that world and the designer themself may not live in that world. I remember some famous architect talking about how they’ve designed so many churches in their career tho they themselves are not religious or go to church. But they understood the assignment and created something that people hired him to do.
The authenticity argument is a slippery slope...If I have worn combat boots my entire adult life but I am not a solider...Am I authentic just because I wear the combat boots both on and offline?
i mean i think it is since you're wearing what you like. I get it's the same as union workers scoffing at people who wear double knees or some shit, but I think they'll get it when u say hey it looks cool i like it
I really like this. Its hard sometimes to find where you fit in with fashion and to wear what you want. Personally ive been working on my sewing skills so i can express myself through my clothing in a truthful way
@@pine1234 I always applaude ppl whos wearing full lolita bcs by God does it look hard to put on lol but the prettiness pays off. Extra points to tropical country lolitas tho lol
you look so much more confident now, the editing and pacing in this vid in particular is great, very easy to watch despite being a quite lengthy video. keep at it elitist
Hey love your content man. To me, your videos scratch a philosophical itch about how a person's perception of self and their beliefs are projected in the way they present themselves. I feel like the majority of people don't really take into account things like prioritising self-worth when considering their spending habits and what they wear. You're doing a great job, keep it up man! I also wanna add that fashion is intrinsically a visual medium so an idea is to have more visual representations alongside with what you're trying to say to help better convey your message. You don't need to be a FrugalAesthetic clone where his videos follow a slideshow presentation format-but maybe rather something like an image in the corner of your screen that corresponds to your spoken points
And also thank you for saying that I'm worth I know I'm insecure about myself and I wish I have traits of others but then there's other people that wish they had traits from me I'm glad and happy to hear that from you're video it really helps me 😊
love the topics you're bringing up and the growth (both in the channel and personal). i've gone through all your vids since the beginning of the year and you seem happier now. keep it up man.
Genuinely being able to feel like u suck at dressing, makes myself give that motivation to go deep into soul searching of learning to be yourself, and ever since I’ve got into fashion, I was able to genuinely express myself and always improve one’s self that you can do better and better and I find that interesting and that expressive approach gives us that confidence, and being true to yourself.
Authentic and interesting topic points! In a way, I had the variables you point out (in my mind) but did not think more to formulate a conversation about it. Please keep doing what you’re doing, your future is bright. Thank you for caring about all of us ❤
I like your channel, man. I appreciate your frankness, sincerity, and the way you articulate your points. I like these sociological and philosophical takes on fashion and style that you do
WARNING: INCOMING "OK GRANDPA LET'S GET YOU TO BED" ESSAY POST: I feel bad for everyone who is even just a little younger than me (it seems) ... more on that in a sec. So, I'm 35, living life as a mostly-straight, recently-married he-they who uses the power of clothing to look good and low-key (on occassion high-key) bend gender, and I think my style behaviour is like a lot of younger guys who are into fashion: I subscribe to and consume fashion content on IG and YT, I'm not rich (like, not at all moneyed) so I mostly just save up and use Grailed to access designer clothing, I love dressing up even just for the grocery store, I have a hobby involving a sewing machine, I love putting together niche designer pieces with thrifted stuff and I'm genuinely having fun with clothes. But, with love, I am WORRIED ABOUT SOME OF Y'ALL, cuz I have seen SO many videos talking about online / offline disconnect, alienation, and going through so much anxiety about keeping up with influencers etc. This is about mental health, and some of these struggles are like Black Mirror versions of what I grew up with. When I was in high school, online wasn't even a thing and I dressed up in crazy shit I found in thrift stores. It was just a way that I had fun. When I was 20, social media was just emerging as Facebook, where you and 30 friends you knew in real life could interact in very basic ways. I could, and did, dress in all kinds of kooky ways. But there was never online evidence of this. There was no way for anyone to comment on my style, and I never felt anyone could police how I expressed myself with clothing. There was nobody to impress that wasn't physically close enough to see me. If you wanted to disrespect me, you had to come up to my face and call me a f*g or whatever. And all that is still mostly true for me (except nobody calls me names because I'm a Grown Up now). When I was younger I had the occasional jock wanna test me, but all the problems described in this video I simply have never had, cuz I don't perform my personal style online, and I don't really know how to keep up with trends cuz I never felt like I needed to try. I have wicked style, I look f'ing GREAT like every day, but I don't have the social media muscles some people younger than me have, so I can't flex outside from the rare IG story where a photo of me looking cool may exist for 24 hours. Anyway my point is, I have always dressed for fun and play, to feel like a hottie, to feel comfortable in my flesh avatar, and as a cute side benefit, some people I know IRL occasionally ask me for advice on style or pieces they are interested in buying. My style, like my self, exists in community, mostly IRL, and I feel great. Anyway that's my story, love and respect to everyone being creative and looking (& hopefully feeling) hot! I'm just trying to say: fellas, it doesn't have to be this way!
I do feel like people like wisdm and others are unjustly bigged up or hyped up in the fashion community even though it has been proven time and time again that he doesn't wear the fits he makes in his videos outside, in the actual world. That's why I prefer watching your videos because I know that the things you put in your videos actually get worn outside!
Just my thoughts abt wisdm, I feel like that’s kinda the point of his content. He puts together looks to take on a certain aesthetic or persona in a way.
@@woozie77 yes but when you watch a runway show I believe that many of the outfits are just concepts and clearly don't get worn outside of the venue. Also, in many cases the runway item on display is not available for purchase so, even if you would want to wear the item outside, you wouldn't be able to purchase it. I also don't believe that there's anything wrong with the videos that display the outfits because in the case of Wisdm I find his outfits to be entertaining and interesting, however, I believe that it should be disclosed in the caption of the video that it is merely display as when it is not displayed it creates a false sense of character to Wisdm and other creators and perhaps could mentally harm a consumer of their content that truly does believe that they go around daily life wearing those outfits, prompting them to buy outlandish garments in order to fit in and possibly even getting hate crimed due to it.
I’m very glad I saw this video! I’ve recently started my journey as a designer and I’ve mostly only ever made things to fit my body and have modeled them myself BUT at times I’d find myself stressing and getting overwhelmed by wearing my designs in public. Even now I’m planning on attending a release party for some magazine and I want to wear my own design and style it to the 9’s haha but I’m just so anxious and feel myself leaning towards my normal formal fit. I think I’ll wear my styled outfit and not just a silk top haha
I keep watching these essays, but I don't relate whatsoever to the mindset of the person this is made for. I love style, I love style content, etc. I'm 23, I've been on Instagram since the early days, and was on Facebook before that. But the moment large amounts of currency are at play (whether it be cash, or attention as a currency), it should be obvious that so much of what you're looking at is contrived. Whether as an outright advert or just an influencer trying to keep up with the whims of an algorithm. Wear what you like. If something new catches your attention, consider giving it a try if you really like it. But sit on it for a minute, make sure you're not just jumping on the wave because it's hot on the algorithm for a week. Personally, I've been curious about the silk rectangle and square scarves for a few years. I'm still intrigued, so I'd consider it a genuine interest, and now I'm keeping my eyes peeled for some on ebay and at thrift shops. Don't just wear something because an influencer said to, or because other people are. That said, with respect to persona, the specific subject of this video, I think there are instances in which partitioned personas actually make some sense. I grew up idolozing the emo style of the pop punk, emo, and post hardcore bands of my youth. My day to day style these days is sartorial inspired, sometimes with "grown up Street" thrown in. But when I'd perform with my emo band, I'd definitely dress edgier to fit with the music. And if things had gone farther with the band, I could easily see myself buying and wearing Jordan Arthur Smith, S'yte, and Paradoxe, all brands I really enjoy but wouldn't wear on the day to day, while performing.
Honestly, I try not to envy any fashion influencer because instead of fashion being their hobby, its now their job and they always have to come up with the freshest and coolest fits and find out what the latest trends are and purchase them and idk about you but that sounds exhausting and that sounds like that takes all the fun out of wearing clothes. And you can't re-wear a good outfit because it's 'stale' for your audience. Maybe these influencers wear casual and easy outfits when none of their audience can see them as a break from their job.
After watching this for 0:43, just delete socials off your phone. It takes 2 seconds to log in if you need it but I stopped feeling like I needed stuff others had, anxiety, etc. maybe not 100% big significantly less
Another amazing video. Great insight and its very true. For a bit over a year I‘ve been making my own clothes so I can distance myself from social media or this online „portait“ of fashion. Cant wait for more videos in the future!!!!
i just don't understand the strict distinction between online and social life. I feel online platforms are definitely social-- not as social as "real life," but not completely devoid of a social element. Also I feel like while there definitely are negatives, i have been motivated to dress more out there and less normal by taking people on social media at face value with how they dress. I feel when confronted with someone who dresses authentic online you can either feel motivated to be authentic or insecure in your perceived inauthenticity by comparison. So, i think we should cultivate content which fosters the latter rather than throw all content out in general or label this type of content as wholly detrimental.
i think this guy has a weird obsession over "true self" where in reality it doesn't exist. it's important to be critical about everything we consume, especially social media. but authenticity is not real. what you wear offline is also a persona you create for the public eyes. because if the world has no people in it, no one would bother to dress
Thanks for making me feel better about myself. I always been confused by the "Instagram fashion" I see around then you see those same people tagged in a pic and looking completely different in how they dress. I get for some this is a business and trying to stand out is a big thing for them to stay relevant but I've just never been a big fan. The fits I post are what I left the house in that day and whether I took that pic or not that's the fit I was wearing 😅
I'm really happy I actually wear all my clothes, They aren't basic either. For every fashion video I see, I step outside and see no one wearing cool funky, weird, clothes. The internet fashion isn't all that bad and truthfully wish i would see it more in person. Alot of those videos of fashion are mainly clothing people may of bought just for a video and its so wasteful :(
I liked the video JQ, but I feel through out this video a lot of points fell into repetition. Not that the points were bad, but I’d love to hear more about why people need to build a persona online vs in reality; you bought up the point of monetary gain, approval gain, but I think maybe talking of ways to redefine people’s perspectives on the online vs reality > either that be in talking about the positives on how acting in certain way online for extravagant looks can be a very fulfilling; though on the face value might seem completely artificial. Of course you showcase people who are from what it seems are very big on social media’s who do it for a job- but for every person who gets millions of views, sponsors and or validation there are people looking themselves happily in the mirror in clothes that might be extravagant for them. The reason I bring this up is because of my own experience with fashion. I’ve always lived in a small coastal town and still currently do- and never once had a situation where I’d be able to wear something fancy during childhood to teens, and branching out on the Internet has always been helpful with just being a weird kid; and because of you especially being, an ‘online persona’ which I’d like to imagine are real and not fake (I’m realistic and know you’re a man) you’ve helped me find self, in all black, funny haha yohji stuff- flowing clothes which help with body dysmorphia, clothes that have made me appreciate craft of another person and design and to of course let me feel just a lil cooler if not to myself. I would love to see a video from you talking about the things you truely love and appreciate about fashion, some stories about what made you fall in love with it. Passion can lead to heavily critic to the things you love, but just show love- it’s just as valid I think and would be great for me as a viewer I think a lot more.
Everyone in this comment section I recommend the documentary century of self by adam curtis it talks about how people's identities in the early 1900's were largely shaped by there roles within there larger community but the rise of mass production and consumer culture companies started to use advertising to sell products appealing to peoples desire for individuality. Really changed the way I view my consumption habits as a whole
Thank you so much for this video 🖤 Watching it was very therapeutic for me and I was able to reflect on some of my own ideas on self-expression through fashion. Also I realize I'm def guilty of doin that thing where I'm like "ohhh I can't wear THAT, cuz everyone would look and make fun of me" but I'm going to make an active effort to say "fuck it! What would make me happiest to wear today?" Life is toooo short to not dress in a way that's not authentically you + people do not give a damn what you wear and are busy with their own lives (the ones that do n say something rude are prolly douchenozzles anyhow)
love the video, so true. I agree with every point, not just with fashion but with fitness, and basically most things on the internet. just regarding head and shoulders - i noticed your disdain on using it from other vids as well. i'm trying to wean off on using it, but personally, it has saved my hair. it's not as bad as you say. so I was wondering if you're speaking from personal experience/know someone's experience, or is it purely based on the ingredients and advertising that you have an issue with?
There are many nuances and we should also consider context, like me Im also into avant garde, but would I wear my comme skirt when buying a can of soda in 7-11? I also have my denim days or days when I dont feel like to dress up, so on those days, am I being inauthentic?
It’s a philosophical and psychopathological conundrum, fashion. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t. In the end the only question that matters is ‘do you like the way you look or are you using fashion to hide behind?’
We are really entering into the age where we're exposed to SO many different styles, but of course it has to be tainted by a bunch of downsides... A lot of the stuff about how it shouldn't be a competition is also common advice among musicians, I really consider myself lucky to have had it come naturally, I'm about as intrinsically motivated of a person as it gets. Well, to be specific... It's more like, if I am gonna be motivated, it's probably intrinsic. I learned to make music for myself, I can tune it to my own preferences and consider that kind of a crazy ability, turns out it's incredibly fun and cathartic of an activity on top, I similarly love outfits and enjoy it all by myself. (Too bad DIY stuff like sowing is distilled anti-fun to me) Of course I love going outside and maybe turning some heads, but that's only meaningful to me cause this truly is an expression of myself to begin with.
Bro I feel like you should add these sections that yt provides in ur video, idk just a suggestion. Because I feel like you talked about a lot of topics and I’m kinda getting mixed up
No one keeps it 100 no mo' fr fr' :( Jokes aside AMAZING video!!! Great content! authenticity has gone out the window all in pursuit in others peoples approval. I was born right before the internet started and seen this play out as a kid. Hope full things will change around, but consumerism has a tigth grip on individuals.
thank you for this informative yet entertaining content this video is deep and you said it took you two weeks to edit it now I say it was worth it thanks jq
it feels like this is lacking nuance about online and offline fashion differences because let's face it... some places are just not safe or accepting enough to dress as you please. there's a certain freedom online that is hard to replicate in really rural or heavily religious developing countries. maybe this is just some urbanite privilege on your part, but maybe i don't want to get mugged in my hometown? i'm glad i moved to a bigger city and am leaving my country 2 years from now, but the rest of the world hasn't really caught up, so the internet can do for the meantime
lol just fyi: lots of men don't wear dresses out because in most of the continental U.S. because adherence to masculine cultural norms is enforced with violence, but i agree in principal. Where you feel safe to you should take your self expression out into the world, good people will appreciate your authenticity, wear what makes you feel good
We all been there, we all went balls deep. First you find something that interests you. It could be from collecting fidget spinners, headphones, or hey it could be some avant garde stuff. Then you find some community, could be SuFu, SZ, whatever, you get the idea. Then you gobble this stuff up, you try to sponge as much information as possible, because you want to be part of the community. Then you buy all these stuff, because that’s how the community dresses. You want to be a purist. Then you collect, collect, collect. It’s never enough, there’s always something you need, could be because its “rare”, or you want to impress other members of the community, or you want that one particular piece to “complete” the outfit you’ve had in your head for so long. Then one day it all hits you. This isn’t you, it doesn’t accurately reflect who you are, you may even feel uncomfortable. Like a poser. Well, that was me, from 2008-2018. I went balls deep with Ann D, Guidi, Rick Owens, and Julius. I was a struggling financially, never made that much money to begin with, on top of that wearing all of these expensive stuff made me feel so fake. It revolted me, made me over analyze and overthink everything. When outside, instead of enjoying the moments, I was more worried about “I need to get my soles re-Vibramed”. I listened to post-hardcore and punk, never got into this industrial music and its ethos. Now I am in my 30’s, I make much much more money than I did in my teens and 20s. But I would never go back, because none of those stuff felt like a second skin. Every moment felt like a facade. I think clothes you wear, should feel like a second skin, a representation of who you are. I would trade all of that designer stuff for whatever brand skinny jeans, whatever brand t-shirt, and whatever brand sneakers, because to me that feels like a second skin. I feel comfortable. I can just appreciate it, watch runways, look at photo shoots, read interviews. I don’t necessarily have to participate. I’ve spoken other people who went balls deep, whether it’s heroin rock aesthetic from Hedi’s Dior/SLP era, “youth” aesthetic from Raf, “punk” aesthetic from mid 2000s to mid 2010s from Jun Takahashi, etc, etc, etc. A good chunk of them said something similar. It made them feel like a poser, because it wasn’t an accurate representation. Hey, I know some people who genuinely live that life, and thats cool. I am glad you finally found a safe-place where you finally be yourself. But there’s no shame, for just enjoying it all from a far distance with binoculars
this is realistically why i think art and fashion should be more enjoyed in public than online because in public people have the true desire and commitment to express themselves not for anything or anyone else
Great video, so many interesting points. I started to realized how much off a thing this had become in my search for the perfect pair of daily use boots. So many reviews are basically advertisements fro certain brands. At that moment I decided I will never ever do a sponsored review on my channel or accept free mech in exchange for a review. I used to paint my nails black when I was in high school circa 1997 before the internet became what it is now. I wonder if I would have looked at it different had I come of age in this era of hyper artificial socialization.
Just a note: to say you hate “internet-cultured “ slang like “slay or eat” these are both terms used in black/black-queer culture that has been taken on by the internet. Just something to consider a lot of internet culture is a sanitized version of black culture😊. Loved the video though.
JQ can you make a video for buying furniture or room things for storing your clothes, (i.e. hangers, racks, drawers) and basics for better clothing maintenance, (i.e. clothes steamers, lint removers) Luv u
So as long as you go outside youre not swindling? I think in the case of straight men picking up more feminine tendencies is performative, so there is no way to tell.
When tiktok is taken away from us we will see how everyones personal taste is. I also agree from with the punk, i see a lot of people buying into brands whos inspired by punk and the designer themselves are punk, yet when you bring up anti - capitalist ideas or try to have that conversation, they dont have anything to say.
At the end of the day we are all here to consume no matter what. Even if it makes us fake, depressed and brainless. This will continue if we don’t change the system that pushes billions of people in the wealthy countries to just buy EVERYTHING. We need to want change and do things to go towards a better world, free of all this shit we are made to do. If we dont consume the economy as we know collapses so they need us to keep consuming. Everyone reading this have a thought about this and read about stuff like degrowth etc.
here's a question, what if your an out going person who loves fashion. Who would wear nice things all the time, but because you were bullied and made to feel inferior when you were younger you just stopped being that person. Isn't that a bad fake based off of trauma?
Interesting topic. Personally, I've taken a step back from the consumerist side of fashion and have essentially been taking clothes I already own, but don't really wear and have been morphing them into something I would wear.
Oh god i really wanna do that. This idea has been plaguing my mind for months but i dont have the skills to do it

@@CrazeeFy andddd also their army was structured on sexual exploitation of children. Pedophile generals sexually assualted young boys in their command as this was an expected part of their training. This was based on the god apollo and his boy-toy whose name i forgot. You can also see it in heracles and iolaus - his boy lover. Also zeus and Ganymede, his "cup bearer" (a gross euphamism) who he kidnapped and kept around for his "services".
In short, greek masters would take on young apprentices and sexual exploitation was inherent in this. No one seems to mention when romantising the ancient greeks and their "great society"
“There is something about fashion that make people really nervous “__. I remember reading about some macro social trends some years ago called “URL VS. IRL” and editable identities and how you portray yourself as different personalities in different social medias. Of course this was before Tik Tok. Fashion is quite interesting: we all want to be different and unique and irreplaceable, but we also want to be accepted and validated. So we end up compromising a lot. Getting online validation on outfits that “actually” represent you but maybe you still don’t dare to take outside into the public may give you the confidence to allow yourself to be your true self outside. Of course this is kind of an ideal scenario where no one is fake or doing it for the money.
Great content!
i always joked about how i would play dress up in my room and follow the crazy fashion world, but i felt the most comfortable wearing “regular clothing”. like after a crazy cool runway show, the designer walks out in a some jeans a tee or a sweater and sneakers or dress shoes. i have now learned to combine both what i visually like and what i am comfortable wearing.
Designers create worlds. Not everyone wants to be a part of that world and the designer themself may not live in that world.
I remember some famous architect talking about how they’ve designed so many churches in their career tho they themselves are not religious or go to church. But they understood the assignment and created something that people hired him to do.
The authenticity argument is a slippery slope...If I have worn combat boots my entire adult life but I am not a solider...Am I authentic just because I wear the combat boots both on and offline?
i mean i think it is since you're wearing what you like. I get it's the same as union workers scoffing at people who wear double knees or some shit, but I think they'll get it when u say hey it looks cool i like it
Babe wake up, new Fashion Elitist drop
I really like this. Its hard sometimes to find where you fit in with fashion and to wear what you want. Personally ive been working on my sewing skills so i can express myself through my clothing in a truthful way
sams here! the lolita style is not popular where im from, so i made it my ife goal to be able to sew lolita clothing (the goth substyle speicifically)
@@pine1234 I always applaude ppl whos wearing full lolita bcs by God does it look hard to put on lol but the prettiness pays off. Extra points to tropical country lolitas tho lol
I wasn’t stalking I swear
I actually love how your videos concern more than fashion ... it's like a kind of intelligent and interesting therapy
this man videos is so good another banger brotha
This video came at the perfect time, I recently diagnosed myself with being terminally online (this may be responsible for mental issues)
Strongest kd fan ( probably a burner )
@@cameron2900x 💀
you look so much more confident now, the editing and pacing in this vid in particular is great, very easy to watch despite being a quite lengthy video. keep at it elitist
I've been starting to see this topic discussed a lot recently, and I have to say, this is the most eloquent video so far on it.
honey wake up, our favorite pretentious handsome fashion youtuber uploaded
Hey love your content man. To me, your videos scratch a philosophical itch about how a person's perception of self and their beliefs are projected in the way they present themselves.
I feel like the majority of people don't really take into account things like prioritising self-worth when considering their spending habits and what they wear.
You're doing a great job, keep it up man!
I also wanna add that fashion is intrinsically a visual medium so an idea is to have more visual representations alongside with what you're trying to say to help better convey your message. You don't need to be a FrugalAesthetic clone where his videos follow a slideshow presentation format-but maybe rather something like an image in the corner of your screen that corresponds to your spoken points
frugal has recently become sort of philosophical at times
And also thank you for saying that I'm worth I know I'm insecure about myself and I wish I have traits of others but then there's other people that wish they had traits from me I'm glad and happy to hear that from you're video it really helps me 😊
babe wake up new fashion elitist psychological fashion analysis dropped
love the topics you're bringing up and the growth (both in the channel and personal). i've gone through all your vids since the beginning of the year and you seem happier now. keep it up man.
Genuinely being able to feel like u suck at dressing, makes myself give that motivation to go deep into soul searching of learning to be yourself, and ever since I’ve got into fashion, I was able to genuinely express myself and always improve one’s self that you can do better and better and I find that interesting and that expressive approach gives us that confidence, and being true to yourself.
real!
Authentic and interesting topic points! In a way, I had the variables you point out (in my mind) but did not think more to formulate a conversation about it. Please keep doing what you’re doing, your future is bright. Thank you for caring about all of us ❤
I like your channel, man. I appreciate your frankness, sincerity, and the way you articulate your points. I like these sociological and philosophical takes on fashion and style that you do
Everybody takes inspiration from everything
WARNING: INCOMING "OK GRANDPA LET'S GET YOU TO BED" ESSAY POST:
I feel bad for everyone who is even just a little younger than me (it seems) ... more on that in a sec. So, I'm 35, living life as a mostly-straight, recently-married he-they who uses the power of clothing to look good and low-key (on occassion high-key) bend gender, and I think my style behaviour is like a lot of younger guys who are into fashion: I subscribe to and consume fashion content on IG and YT, I'm not rich (like, not at all moneyed) so I mostly just save up and use Grailed to access designer clothing, I love dressing up even just for the grocery store, I have a hobby involving a sewing machine, I love putting together niche designer pieces with thrifted stuff and I'm genuinely having fun with clothes. But, with love, I am WORRIED ABOUT SOME OF Y'ALL, cuz I have seen SO many videos talking about online / offline disconnect, alienation, and going through so much anxiety about keeping up with influencers etc. This is about mental health, and some of these struggles are like Black Mirror versions of what I grew up with. When I was in high school, online wasn't even a thing and I dressed up in crazy shit I found in thrift stores. It was just a way that I had fun. When I was 20, social media was just emerging as Facebook, where you and 30 friends you knew in real life could interact in very basic ways. I could, and did, dress in all kinds of kooky ways. But there was never online evidence of this. There was no way for anyone to comment on my style, and I never felt anyone could police how I expressed myself with clothing. There was nobody to impress that wasn't physically close enough to see me. If you wanted to disrespect me, you had to come up to my face and call me a f*g or whatever. And all that is still mostly true for me (except nobody calls me names because I'm a Grown Up now). When I was younger I had the occasional jock wanna test me, but all the problems described in this video I simply have never had, cuz I don't perform my personal style online, and I don't really know how to keep up with trends cuz I never felt like I needed to try. I have wicked style, I look f'ing GREAT like every day, but I don't have the social media muscles some people younger than me have, so I can't flex outside from the rare IG story where a photo of me looking cool may exist for 24 hours. Anyway my point is, I have always dressed for fun and play, to feel like a hottie, to feel comfortable in my flesh avatar, and as a cute side benefit, some people I know IRL occasionally ask me for advice on style or pieces they are interested in buying. My style, like my self, exists in community, mostly IRL, and I feel great. Anyway that's my story, love and respect to everyone being creative and looking (& hopefully feeling) hot! I'm just trying to say: fellas, it doesn't have to be this way!
The lyric was “loudest in the room is probably the loneliest”
I do feel like people like wisdm and others are unjustly bigged up or hyped up in the fashion community even though it has been proven time and time again that he doesn't wear the fits he makes in his videos outside, in the actual world. That's why I prefer watching your videos because I know that the things you put in your videos actually get worn outside!
Just my thoughts abt wisdm, I feel like that’s kinda the point of his content. He puts together looks to take on a certain aesthetic or persona in a way.
what’s wrong with that ? tons of runway outfits would never been seen on the street
@@woozie77 yes but when you watch a runway show I believe that many of the outfits are just concepts and clearly don't get worn outside of the venue. Also, in many cases the runway item on display is not available for purchase so, even if you would want to wear the item outside, you wouldn't be able to purchase it. I also don't believe that there's anything wrong with the videos that display the outfits because in the case of Wisdm I find his outfits to be entertaining and interesting, however, I believe that it should be disclosed in the caption of the video that it is merely display as when it is not displayed it creates a false sense of character to Wisdm and other creators and perhaps could mentally harm a consumer of their content that truly does believe that they go around daily life wearing those outfits, prompting them to buy outlandish garments in order to fit in and possibly even getting hate crimed due to it.
beyond his personality, wisdm always rubbed me a little in the wrong way
I’m very glad I saw this video! I’ve recently started my journey as a designer and I’ve mostly only ever made things to fit my body and have modeled them myself BUT at times I’d find myself stressing and getting overwhelmed by wearing my designs in public. Even now I’m planning on attending a release party for some magazine and I want to wear my own design and style it to the 9’s haha but I’m just so anxious and feel myself leaning towards my normal formal fit. I think I’ll wear my styled outfit and not just a silk top haha
I keep watching these essays, but I don't relate whatsoever to the mindset of the person this is made for. I love style, I love style content, etc. I'm 23, I've been on Instagram since the early days, and was on Facebook before that. But the moment large amounts of currency are at play (whether it be cash, or attention as a currency), it should be obvious that so much of what you're looking at is contrived. Whether as an outright advert or just an influencer trying to keep up with the whims of an algorithm. Wear what you like. If something new catches your attention, consider giving it a try if you really like it. But sit on it for a minute, make sure you're not just jumping on the wave because it's hot on the algorithm for a week. Personally, I've been curious about the silk rectangle and square scarves for a few years. I'm still intrigued, so I'd consider it a genuine interest, and now I'm keeping my eyes peeled for some on ebay and at thrift shops. Don't just wear something because an influencer said to, or because other people are.
That said, with respect to persona, the specific subject of this video, I think there are instances in which partitioned personas actually make some sense. I grew up idolozing the emo style of the pop punk, emo, and post hardcore bands of my youth. My day to day style these days is sartorial inspired, sometimes with "grown up Street" thrown in. But when I'd perform with my emo band, I'd definitely dress edgier to fit with the music. And if things had gone farther with the band, I could easily see myself buying and wearing Jordan Arthur Smith, S'yte, and Paradoxe, all brands I really enjoy but wouldn't wear on the day to day, while performing.
this is exactly how I felt while watching damn
So if your doing something that’s not 100% you then you should stop doing it? What happened to fake it until you make it…?
Honestly, I try not to envy any fashion influencer because instead of fashion being their hobby, its now their job and they always have to come up with the freshest and coolest fits and find out what the latest trends are and purchase them and idk about you but that sounds exhausting and that sounds like that takes all the fun out of wearing clothes. And you can't re-wear a good outfit because it's 'stale' for your audience. Maybe these influencers wear casual and easy outfits when none of their audience can see them as a break from their job.
You're a pretty cool dude. Thank you for your honesty. I enjoy listening to you
After watching this for 0:43, just delete socials off your phone. It takes 2 seconds to log in if you need it but I stopped feeling like I needed stuff others had, anxiety, etc. maybe not 100% big significantly less
Besides UA-cam of course 😂
Another amazing video. Great insight and its very true. For a bit over a year I‘ve been making my own clothes so I can distance myself from social media or this online „portait“ of fashion. Cant wait for more videos in the future!!!!
i just don't understand the strict distinction between online and social life. I feel online platforms are definitely social-- not as social as "real life," but not completely devoid of a social element. Also I feel like while there definitely are negatives, i have been motivated to dress more out there and less normal by taking people on social media at face value with how they dress. I feel when confronted with someone who dresses authentic online you can either feel motivated to be authentic or insecure in your perceived inauthenticity by comparison. So, i think we should cultivate content which fosters the latter rather than throw all content out in general or label this type of content as wholly detrimental.
i think this guy has a weird obsession over "true self" where in reality it doesn't exist. it's important to be critical about everything we consume, especially social media. but authenticity is not real. what you wear offline is also a persona you create for the public eyes. because if the world has no people in it, no one would bother to dress
Thanks for making me feel better about myself. I always been confused by the "Instagram fashion" I see around then you see those same people tagged in a pic and looking completely different in how they dress. I get for some this is a business and trying to stand out is a big thing for them to stay relevant but I've just never been a big fan. The fits I post are what I left the house in that day and whether I took that pic or not that's the fit I was wearing 😅
I'm really happy I actually wear all my clothes, They aren't basic either. For every fashion video I see, I step outside and see no one wearing cool funky, weird, clothes. The internet fashion isn't all that bad and truthfully wish i would see it more in person. Alot of those videos of fashion are mainly clothing people may of bought just for a video and its so wasteful :(
i was curious to see your fits since you put ur ig but can't find it so i'll take your word for it
cheers
"...at the end of the day we all suck..."
Sounds like a plan
I liked the video JQ, but I feel through out this video a lot of points fell into repetition. Not that the points were bad, but I’d love to hear more about why people need to build a persona online vs in reality; you bought up the point of monetary gain, approval gain, but I think maybe talking of ways to redefine people’s perspectives on the online vs reality > either that be in talking about the positives on how acting in certain way online for extravagant looks can be a very fulfilling; though on the face value might seem completely artificial. Of course you showcase people who are from what it seems are very big on social media’s who do it for a job- but for every person who gets millions of views, sponsors and or validation there are people looking themselves happily in the mirror in clothes that might be extravagant for them. The reason I bring this up is because of my own experience with fashion. I’ve always lived in a small coastal town and still currently do- and never once had a situation where I’d be able to wear something fancy during childhood to teens, and branching out on the Internet has always been helpful with just being a weird kid; and because of you especially being, an ‘online persona’ which I’d like to imagine are real and not fake (I’m realistic and know you’re a man) you’ve helped me find self, in all black, funny haha yohji stuff- flowing clothes which help with body dysmorphia, clothes that have made me appreciate craft of another person and design and to of course let me feel just a lil cooler if not to myself. I would love to see a video from you talking about the things you truely love and appreciate about fashion, some stories about what made you fall in love with it. Passion can lead to heavily critic to the things you love, but just show love- it’s just as valid I think and would be great for me as a viewer I think a lot more.
totally agree with this!!
Brave move, Brother! Keep it up. You are doing great job.
Everyone in this comment section I recommend the documentary century of self by adam curtis it talks about how people's identities in the early 1900's were largely shaped by there roles within there larger community but the rise of mass production and consumer culture companies started to use advertising to sell products appealing to peoples desire for individuality. Really changed the way I view my consumption habits as a whole
You should get a bed frame for that matress, It may catch mold underneath if you don't take care of it
Such a good video, really well put together hope your channel explodes soon cause these vids are great
Thank you so much for this video 🖤 Watching it was very therapeutic for me and I was able to reflect on some of my own ideas on self-expression through fashion. Also I realize I'm def guilty of doin that thing where I'm like "ohhh I can't wear THAT, cuz everyone would look and make fun of me" but I'm going to make an active effort to say "fuck it! What would make me happiest to wear today?" Life is toooo short to not dress in a way that's not authentically you + people do not give a damn what you wear and are busy with their own lives (the ones that do n say something rude are prolly douchenozzles anyhow)
comparison is the thief of joy
love the video, so true. I agree with every point, not just with fashion but with fitness, and basically most things on the internet. just regarding head and shoulders - i noticed your disdain on using it from other vids as well. i'm trying to wean off on using it, but personally, it has saved my hair. it's not as bad as you say. so I was wondering if you're speaking from personal experience/know someone's experience, or is it purely based on the ingredients and advertising that you have an issue with?
There are many nuances and we should also consider context, like me Im also into avant garde, but would I wear my comme skirt when buying a can of soda in 7-11? I also have my denim days or days when I dont feel like to dress up, so on those days, am I being inauthentic?
Jeez I came here for fashion tips and instead I get an introspective journey of self-discovery where I find my own fashion and embrace it. Wild.
I had to stop another video of yours to watch this
It’s a philosophical and psychopathological conundrum, fashion. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t. In the end the only question that matters is ‘do you like the way you look or are you using fashion to hide behind?’
One zara sponsorship for jq and its over
We are really entering into the age where we're exposed to SO many different styles, but of course it has to be tainted by a bunch of downsides...
A lot of the stuff about how it shouldn't be a competition is also common advice among musicians, I really consider myself lucky to have had it come naturally, I'm about as intrinsically motivated of a person as it gets. Well, to be specific... It's more like, if I am gonna be motivated, it's probably intrinsic. I learned to make music for myself, I can tune it to my own preferences and consider that kind of a crazy ability, turns out it's incredibly fun and cathartic of an activity on top, I similarly love outfits and enjoy it all by myself. (Too bad DIY stuff like sowing is distilled anti-fun to me) Of course I love going outside and maybe turning some heads, but that's only meaningful to me cause this truly is an expression of myself to begin with.
Fashion does suck online. Too many annoying UA-camrs with wojacks in the thumbnails
the “weird language” you were referring to and hate so bad is essentially just appropriated aave lol 14:30
Gotta respect a man who admits to scamming us out of brain cells
Bro I feel like you should add these sections that yt provides in ur video, idk just a suggestion. Because I feel like you talked about a lot of topics and I’m kinda getting mixed up
This is not fashion anymore this is a dystopia in a cave
No one keeps it 100 no mo' fr fr' :( Jokes aside AMAZING video!!! Great content! authenticity has gone out the window all in pursuit in others peoples approval. I was born right before the internet started and seen this play out as a kid. Hope full things will change around, but consumerism has a tigth grip on individuals.
thank you for this informative yet entertaining content this video is deep and you said it took you two weeks to edit it now I say it was worth it thanks jq
I'm really glad I found your channel
Thank you
Personally I think your clothes will just adapt to how you live, what you do, and who you're around. It's just practical.
it feels like this is lacking nuance about online and offline fashion differences because let's face it... some places are just not safe or accepting enough to dress as you please. there's a certain freedom online that is hard to replicate in really rural or heavily religious developing countries. maybe this is just some urbanite privilege on your part, but maybe i don't want to get mugged in my hometown? i'm glad i moved to a bigger city and am leaving my country 2 years from now, but the rest of the world hasn't really caught up, so the internet can do for the meantime
lol just fyi: lots of men don't wear dresses out because in most of the continental U.S. because adherence to masculine cultural norms is enforced with violence, but i agree in principal.
Where you feel safe to you should take your self expression out into the world, good people will appreciate your authenticity, wear what makes you feel good
JQ, a question: how do I pull the oversized style off. I always think like I'm a child who's wearing his dad's clothes.
Congrats on 50k! 👑👑
I appreciate you!
We all been there, we all went balls deep.
First you find something that interests you. It could be from collecting fidget spinners, headphones, or hey it could be some avant garde stuff.
Then you find some community, could be SuFu, SZ, whatever, you get the idea.
Then you gobble this stuff up, you try to sponge as much information as possible, because you want to be part of the community.
Then you buy all these stuff, because that’s how the community dresses. You want to be a purist.
Then you collect, collect, collect. It’s never enough, there’s always something you need, could be because its “rare”, or you want to impress other members of the community, or you want that one particular piece to “complete” the outfit you’ve had in your head for so long.
Then one day it all hits you. This isn’t you, it doesn’t accurately reflect who you are, you may even feel uncomfortable. Like a poser.
Well, that was me, from 2008-2018. I went balls deep with Ann D, Guidi, Rick Owens, and Julius.
I was a struggling financially, never made that much money to begin with, on top of that wearing all of these expensive stuff made me feel so fake. It revolted me, made me over analyze and overthink everything. When outside, instead of enjoying the moments, I was more worried about “I need to get my soles re-Vibramed”. I listened to post-hardcore and punk, never got into this industrial music and its ethos.
Now I am in my 30’s, I make much much more money than I did in my teens and 20s. But I would never go back, because none of those stuff felt like a second skin. Every moment felt like a facade.
I think clothes you wear, should feel like a second skin, a representation of who you are. I would trade all of that designer stuff for whatever brand skinny jeans, whatever brand t-shirt, and whatever brand sneakers, because to me that feels like a second skin. I feel comfortable.
I can just appreciate it, watch runways, look at photo shoots, read interviews. I don’t necessarily have to participate.
I’ve spoken other people who went balls deep, whether it’s heroin rock aesthetic from Hedi’s Dior/SLP era, “youth” aesthetic from Raf, “punk” aesthetic from mid 2000s to mid 2010s from Jun Takahashi, etc, etc, etc. A good chunk of them said something similar. It made them feel like a poser, because it wasn’t an accurate representation.
Hey, I know some people who genuinely live that life, and thats cool. I am glad you finally found a safe-place where you finally be yourself.
But there’s no shame, for just enjoying it all from a far distance with binoculars
It’s soooo important to keep pushing forward in self expression. If you never get cold feet about a fit then you’re not doing it right
this is realistically why i think art and fashion should be more enjoyed in public than online because in public people have the true desire and commitment to express themselves not for anything or anyone else
Great video, so many interesting points.
I started to realized how much off a thing this had become in my search for the perfect pair of daily use boots. So many reviews are basically advertisements fro certain brands. At that moment I decided I will never ever do a sponsored review on my channel or accept free mech in exchange for a review. I used to paint my nails black when I was in high school circa 1997 before the internet became what it is now. I wonder if I would have looked at it different had I come of age in this era of hyper artificial socialization.
@fashion Elitist That transition into the solution section was COLD MAN. Why you gotta do us like that

Great content man
Just a note: to say you hate “internet-cultured “ slang like “slay or eat” these are both terms used in black/black-queer culture that has been taken on by the internet. Just something to consider a lot of internet culture is a sanitized version of black culture😊. Loved the video though.
JQ can you make a video for buying furniture or room things for storing your clothes, (i.e. hangers, racks, drawers) and basics for better clothing maintenance, (i.e. clothes steamers, lint removers)
Luv u
what the fuck was that one random shot of you sitting on a couch looking down lmao
So as long as you go outside youre not swindling? I think in the case of straight men picking up more feminine tendencies is performative, so there is no way to tell.
When tiktok is taken away from us we will see how everyones personal taste is. I also agree from with the punk, i see a lot of people buying into brands whos inspired by punk and the designer themselves are punk, yet when you bring up anti - capitalist ideas or try to have that conversation, they dont have anything to say.
At the end of the day we are all here to consume no matter what. Even if it makes us fake, depressed and brainless. This will continue if we don’t change the system that pushes billions of people in the wealthy countries to just buy EVERYTHING. We need to want change and do things to go towards a better world, free of all this shit we are made to do. If we dont consume the economy as we know collapses so they need us to keep consuming. Everyone reading this have a thought about this and read about stuff like degrowth etc.

Yes yes good points, but can you please share your hair care/styling routine?
i have a video on my hair if you check my older posts
It’s funny how people don’t know how to be authentic. Just do you bro.
Subscribed but also, your hair is magical 🥺
great conversations
to summarize
go touch grass
You would be big now, if you didn't quit working out...
I don't know. It just bothered me, seeing you give up so easily.
It was sad.
first time noticing the hand tat, looks super cool!
I love getting shein ads on your videos jq.
here's a question, what if your an out going person who loves fashion. Who would wear nice things all the time, but because you were bullied and made to feel inferior when you were younger you just stopped being that person. Isn't that a bad fake based off of trauma?
Oh you slayed! You ate!
Bro your hair is fking godly I wasn’t even listening half the time
