lol just bought a pair of leather bostons. To be honest, yes, the trend opened me to them. But now I have them they’re just so comfy and feel high quality I don’t care, I’m convinced I’ll be happily wearing them frequently for the next few years.
I too was exposed to the boston through trends. I was actually looking to get them since they labeled it as like a “runner’s slipper” in one of their ads
I enjoy hearing about other people's take on (perceived) trends, so I found this video highly entertaining, thanks! 🙂 I personally find it rather cringe when I see so many people apparently dressing to fit in with trends, particularly when it's not just wearing styles, but specific items too (Panda dunks comes to mind here). I actually quite like the idea of items/styles I like going out of trend because I feel I can then finally enjoy wearing/adopting them! By the way, have a fab Xmas James !
Glad you enjoyed it man, thank you! Haha yes I know exactly what you mean. I mean I definitely get influenced by trends but I do love it when I find something I really like and no one else has it!
Cross body bags are very popular here in Buenos Aires. The rest of the trends you mentioned weren't even trends here since imports are heavily restricted :'(
The fall off of Cole Buxton needs to be studied. Go 1-2 years back and on those tiktok street interviews it was everyone’s favourite brand, now it’s one of the most hated on brands in the fashion community.
really disagree with this. CB seems to be making their best garments to date and are bigger than they ever were. How have they even slightly fallen off?
Fashion clothes are like music: when a band becomes super mainstream and everybody is listening, the music stops being cool 😂 Because we follow trends so we can feel that we are updated and we fit with the community but we want to be unique at the same time. Amazing social study would be great with this subject. I will add chelsea boots to the list: some years ago, I saw a lot ot them on tik tok outfits. Now, it's kind of dead.
Chelsea boots are classics. They have never been out of fashion. Maybe the silhouette of the chelsea boots have changed over the years from more slim to rounded. Rounded toe chelsea boots are still in fashion and have been for the past 3 years and won't go out of style for a while especially with the wide trousers.
A bit late to the video. I fully agree that the clog trend has died. That said, I will continue wearing them. I struggled for years to find the perfect summer shoes, but the Bostons were perfect when I discovered them. I don't see myself not wearing them in the future
TikTok is an over kill of everything!! Clogs Birkenstock are house or run errands shoes LOL at least for me, been wearing them since way before they went viral.
I think sambas are gonna fall off a cliff come Spring/Summer. They exploded this year and now everyone and their mum is wearing them. We essentially had the AF1, Panda Dunk/550 and then the samba. Would be interesting to see what the main sneaker/shoe of next year will be.
@@semzip8558 I agree. I think it was the counter movement to chunky sneakers but personally I can't stand the look of a slim silhouette on feet, especially with baggier pants.
I still wear my 550s when I want to wear something basic like an AF1 but slimmer. Like with most bandwagoners, folks that bought into a style because of hype will fade. People who actually like the style will stay.
I totally disagree about the end of birds Boston... Might be a UK thing, travelling all over the world for a living. I see them everywhere in the US and Asia especially Thailand , Japan and Taiwan. from teens to grown ups . male of female.
Already dead in asia months ago.... Due to many asian brands copied it and not mention all the fakes flooding the market.... And they are good and so cheap..
Yeah fair enough! I do still see people wearing them but more as comfy shoes and not in outfits, whereas in 2022 it seemed like everyone was wearing them in outfits if you get what I mean!
I agree with most of your opinions except cross body bags which I find are very useful to carry your phone, keys, etc if you don't want to carry a large bag or backpack to the gym.
ugg has always been there and I don't think they're similar in the designs to Croc. They have their own fan base that probably wouldn't wear uggs. Crocs is more of a blue collar brand that has dipped into collabs that cater to hype beast and trend followers but. They also are growing more and more into other things like next year. They will have that salahe croc shoe. Which may just make croc blow up even more.@@JamesLeung
Great video! I do think while Bostons and clogs aren’t a trend right now, for me they’re the perfect shoe to throw on in the Spring/Summer as well as for airports etc. So I’m not sure they’ll entirely disappear, it’s just that you won’t see people wearing the Primark dupes For Cole Buxton, the problem is that their quality has dropped off significantly from two years ago. They still have good pieces, but mass production and poor quality control has meant that they’re no better than a high street brand. It’s just very clever marketing keeping people interested
Agreed man, I’m still wearing my Bostons a lot! And they’ll definitely make a come back 👍 shame about Cole Buxton. I think there’s too much competition in that space which might be why they are cutting corners!
I love my Bostons, my NB sneakers, and it makes me kind of happy that finally I can wear it without having to run across 100 people wearing the same thing as you. I would love to finally have my 990v5s since everyone is so focused on the v4s 😂
Disagree slightly on the bostons, I’ve been wearing mine a couple years now and i think I’ll always stick by them. I have noticed a lot of my friends who are less focused on fashion starting to wear them more. Perhaps its the saturation thats now making them feel ‘less fashionable’ or its just become accepted as more of a staple in peoples shoe rotation that they are not looked at as specifically ‘trendy’ footwear anymore
I like this video. One thing I really love is the many different types of crossbody bags that came out at reasonable prices to store my things conveniently and not have them in my pockets, but tote bags work well too.
From my point of view everyone now has a “luxury” brand. Im not denying they might be high quality pieces but the prices are sometimes outrages. Getting a hoodie for $300 id rather spend that on a stand out pieceor a second hand designer piece. At least imo
Love my Dale Grenson mules. Very glad not everyone is wearing the style anymore. Trends help me explore a new style but finding pieces I like and making it specifically my own is what I love about being into fashion and style. I tweak a bit at over-saturation, I love being a little unique (not to do with limited quantity).
cross body might be a down fad in the uk but rest of europe you see lots of them everywehre, spaceially the uniqlo one clogs birk you might not be seeing bc its too cold now oversized tee are still in, maybe bc so many layers in winter u dont see it as much it seems like you have a problem with a piece or trend being more mainstream
I hate this type of videos. All they do is promoting fashion waste and consumerism. But thanks for letting me know that my expensive New Balance sneakers are out now. I will replace them immediately with the newest hype shoe.
He’s only pointing out that these brands or fashion styles are no longer trending. You’re just upset because you bought your sneakers late into the trend and now you’re left questioning why you bought them in the first place.

Love to hear it man, I’m still wearing mine a lot too! They’ll never go out of style 👍
That’s why I don’t follow trends. Just wear quality classic style and fits and you’ll never go out of style.
Agree 100%!
Fuck the trends
I enjoy hearing about other people's take on (perceived) trends, so I found this video highly entertaining, thanks! 🙂

thats how i was... i got the 550s way later when people hated them or quit wearing them and I can finally enjoy them!!
but also! just noting I like unique style not necessarily copying someones but mixing and matching my taste to a style
Half disagree with the new balance ones, the 550s are for sure dying out trend wise but the other models keep selling out
Yeah true, especially their made in USA stuff which will always be popular.
Spot on with these mate. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks Harry, hope you had a great one!
Cross body bags are very popular here in Buenos Aires. The rest of the trends you mentioned weren't even trends here since imports are heavily restricted :'(
That’s probably a good thing, saved yourself a lot of money haha
Sorry but I'm not losing my Bostons next yr. I can't stand slides/sandals/flip-flops so they're not going anywhere for me 😤😤😂
Haha same tbh, I’m still wearing mine!

really disagree with this. CB seems to be making their best garments to date and are bigger than they ever were. How have they even slightly fallen off?
Not sure if they’ve fallen off but they’ve been copied to oblivion. The amount of brands making luxury sportswear nowadays is insane.
Yeah I think a lot of it has to do with the over saturation of that kind of style!
@@LukasSwift-zu8cb Hard disagree, the outerwear is amazing but the quality of the tees and sweats are dog now
Any specific reason as to why they’re hated?
Crossbody bags have been in fashion here for at least 5 years now and I don’t think it’s going away cause it’s just very functional!
The bigger ones seem ok but the really tiny ones seem pointless haha
Fashion clothes are like music: when a band becomes super mainstream and everybody is listening, the music stops being cool 😂 Because we follow trends so we can feel that we are updated and we fit with the community but we want to be unique at the same time. Amazing social study would be great with this subject. I will add chelsea boots to the list: some years ago, I saw a lot ot them on tik tok outfits. Now, it's kind of dead.
You’re 100% correct!! It’s such a weird behaviour. Seems like we’re only happy when we’re ahead of the trends or anti-trend!
Chelsea boots fell from their peak almost a decade ago tbh
Chelsea boots are classics. They have never been out of fashion. Maybe the silhouette of the chelsea boots have changed over the years from more slim to rounded. Rounded toe chelsea boots are still in fashion and have been for the past 3 years and won't go out of style for a while especially with the wide trousers.

Same here man, definitely still going to be wearing mine this summer!
cross body bags are not just a fashion it's kinda like a functional piece that you can use everyday
Unless they are the absolutely tiny ones!
Haha i JUST bought my parents Crocs & Bostons for Christmas...
But for precisely what you said, House-centric Slipper Wear.
Haha, honestly they’re still great shoes and I wear mine all the time! Just not so trendy anymore (which doesn’t matter at all!)
me watching this wearing my birkenstocks and my cole buxton sweats 😳 (i’m comfy as shit though)
Hahaha mate honestly I don’t blame you. I love my Bostons, they’re not going anywhere! If anything I’m glad less people are wearing them 🤣
no matter what but im still holding on to crossbody bags 😋
I respect that!
TikTok is an over kill of everything!! Clogs Birkenstock are house or run errands shoes LOL at least for me, been wearing them since way before they went viral.
I don’t even have a TikTok but I still feel overexposed to it! It’s definitely a trend killer
idk about this video
I think as well as trends you have to remember season's. Bostons falling off is because its winter. They'll be back in summer fits next year.
Very true 👍 I do feel like I saw less of them this summer vs last summer. But I’m still wearing mine anyway!
I think sambas are gonna fall off a cliff come Spring/Summer. They exploded this year and now everyone and their mum is wearing them. We essentially had the AF1, Panda Dunk/550 and then the samba. Would be interesting to see what the main sneaker/shoe of next year will be.
I always find the Samba trend so weird. 99% of people would never be wearing them if it had not become a trend this year.
@@semzip8558 I agree. I think it was the counter movement to chunky sneakers but personally I can't stand the look of a slim silhouette on feet, especially with baggier pants.
Sambas will go back to be the classic they are. And fortunately their fan base will be able to buy them again.
Same with AJ1s.
Yep Sambas are going through the same thing that the 550s went through. Too much exposure, people will get sick of them soon!
I don't think bags will fade next year unless people decide to stop carrying so much stuff.
For a second I thought bro was sitting in a barber chair about to get a haircut
Fitted tops with baggy jeans are dope but child sized tops with pants 18 sizes too big looks so ridiculous to me 😂
Why oh why can no one fit their Birkenstock’s correctly
Love dealer bags 😂
Haha 🤣🤣
Hope you never loose your objectivity. Have an amazing 🎄
Thank you man, you too!! 🎄
Vintage sportswear really was a big trend here in Brazil too!
I still wear my 550s when I want to wear something basic like an AF1 but slimmer. Like with most bandwagoners, folks that bought into a style because of hype will fade. People who actually like the style will stay.
Totally true. I’m sure Sambas are going to go out of trend next year but I’ll still wear mine cos I like them.
I totally disagree about the end of birds Boston... Might be a UK thing, travelling all over the world for a living. I see them everywhere in the US and Asia especially Thailand , Japan and Taiwan. from teens to grown ups . male of female.

Fair enough man 👍 I guess some of them are ok but the tiny ones I can’t understand!
What would you prefer between Rebook club c 85 vintage and gats?
Personally I’m going GATs because they’re just so classic and timeless!
Nice sweater, has a very cozy vibe! Merry Christmas and as always thanks for all the great content.
Haha thanks, vintage one off eBay!! Merry Christmas 🎄
i feel like clogs are more practical in warmer months so people wear them more in the spring/summer
Yes true!
Salehe bembury crocs are the only good ones
They’re nice!
Owning way too many sneakers but promoting buying vintage to save the world 😂 that can stay in 2023. Also just consumerism
Whats gonna replace the crocs/bostons you reckon?
Lowkey I don’t have a clue. You can’t really predict trends like the crocs and bostons since it’s exposure that really creates a trend.
ugg
Ugg Tasmans already have
Like others have said, the Ugg is probably going to fill that void. Seen a lot of people wearing them recently!
ugg has always been there and I don't think they're similar in the designs to Croc. They have their own fan base that probably wouldn't wear uggs. Crocs is more of a blue collar brand that has dipped into collabs that cater to hype beast and trend followers but. They also are growing more and more into other things like next year. They will have that salahe croc shoe. Which may just make croc blow up even more.@@JamesLeung

Am loving ur hair bro 🥰 looks so nice
Thank you very much!!
i mean ima still wear my 990v5 until they fall apart
Word 🙌
I love my Bostons, my NB sneakers, and it makes me kind of happy that finally I can wear it without having to run across 100 people wearing the same thing as you. I would love to finally have my 990v5s since everyone is so focused on the v4s 😂
Totally agree with this!!
Love your new hair ❤
Thank you ☺️
Disagree slightly on the bostons, I’ve been wearing mine a couple years now and i think I’ll always stick by them.

Perhaps its the saturation thats now making them feel ‘less fashionable’ or its just become accepted as more of a staple in peoples shoe rotation that they are not looked at as specifically ‘trendy’ footwear anymore
Yes I think it’s simply that they are perceived as a dead trend because it was so oversaturated. But I’ll still be wearing mine this year!
It’s so funny that Crocs were really popular in like 2012/2013 and 10 years later it came back! Watching out for 2033
Haha, they will keep coming and going!
The quality of Cole Buxton clothing has gone down a lot, everything feels poor quality now from CB
A lot of people have said the same thing, it’s a shame to hear
I like this video. One thing I really love is the many different types of crossbody bags that came out at reasonable prices to store my things conveniently and not have them in my pockets, but tote bags work well too.
Yeah I see what you mean 👍
I think Represent has now fell off and become over saturated. can’t walk down street without seeing an owners club item
100% agree!!
Trends are circular for the most part. All this stuff will be considered “cool” again in 10-15 years
Definitely!
From my point of view everyone now has a “luxury” brand. Im not denying they might be high quality pieces but the prices are sometimes outrages. Getting a hoodie for $300 id rather spend that on a stand out pieceor a second hand designer piece. At least imo
Yeah agree especially with the second hand designer stuff, I’ve been doing a lot of that lately 👍
I waited until all the trends dialed down and start wearing anything remotely I find acceptable and affordable and not stupid 😂
Haha good idea 👍
How about Sambas? 🤔
Yeah I think in 2024 they will die down a lot!
Clog silhouette isnt dead it's just winter for most of the world lol come spring summer people will have them on
I think they’ll still be around but no where near as much as 2022! Just my guess though, could be totally wrong.
Dang I just got my Berks lol 😆 I'm late to the party.
Haha don’t worry.. I still wear mine all the time!
I see students wearing clogs around supermarkets all the time haha
Yeah me too haha, and sometimes the gym 🤣
Loved the vid. Could you make a video on how you style your hair like that btw? My hair looks really similar to yours
Thank you! I did a video on that recently, look for my Korean Perm video 👍
@@JamesLeung Cool!
Love my Dale Grenson mules. Very glad not everyone is wearing the style anymore.
Trends help me explore a new style but finding pieces I like and making it specifically my own is what I love about being into fashion and style.
I tweak a bit at over-saturation, I love being a little unique (not to do with limited quantity).
Yeah I agree with that. It’s kind of nice when trends die and you can wear pieces you like again without feeling like a sheep!
Merry Christmas from South Korea. Thanks for all the good content. What do you think will be your favorite trend for 2024?
Thank you very much. Hope you have a good one! I’m looking forward to seeing more slimmer pants in the mainstream.
Do you think it will be like tight/skinny fits of pants? Or will it be just like more fitted pants in contrast to the trend of super baggy pants?
So how is Nike never on a trend list? Lol
Haha good point!
Well done video! Happy Christmas to you!
Thank you, Merry Christmas mate!
Great video !
& Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you, merry Christmas!! 🎄
Merry Christmas James! Hope you and your loved ones have a lovely time!
Thanks so much, you too!!
Any suggestions for an elevated sweet pant. My puma ones are in its last leg 😂
I’m not sure about elevated but I really love the Weekday ones, good mix of quality and style at a decent price!
@@JamesLeung heard good things about weekday. Unfortunately they do not deliver to the US. 🙁
Merry Christmas everyone❤🎉🎁🎄
Merry Christmas!!
You forgot the tote bags
Good call!
❤
merry christmas, James!
Merry Christmas, hope you have a good one!
@@JamesLeung you too!! 🎄
cross body might be a down fad in the uk but rest of europe you see lots of them everywehre, spaceially the uniqlo one
clogs birk you might not be seeing bc its too cold now
oversized tee are still in, maybe bc so many layers in winter u dont see it as much
it seems like you have a problem with a piece or trend being more mainstream
Cole Buxton is a complete rip off.
There’s so many alternatives with same/better quality these days, it’s hard to justify buying some of their stuff
Sambas need to stay in 2023!!
I’ll still be wearing mine!!
If you are bored with Birkenstock you are bored with life
the big "N" on the New Balance is awful in my opinion , own one pair of old skool 1500's , that's the lot for me for NB.
Yeah a lot of people didn’t like that. I love the 991 and 992
I hate this type of videos. All they do is promoting fashion waste and consumerism. But thanks for letting me know that my expensive New Balance sneakers are out now. I will replace them immediately with the newest hype shoe.
Could potentially do the opposite, stop you from buying something just because you thought it were trending
He’s only pointing out that these brands or fashion styles are no longer trending. You’re just upset because you bought your sneakers late into the trend and now you’re left questioning why you bought them in the first place.
100% agreed, I have saved so much money from staying away from overhyped trends.
