It’s weird because majority of my wardrobe is just black clothes. It’s what I’m comfortable with and every time I shop for more clothes it’s always a different variation of what I already have
Ë
Experiment with silhouettes. There’s nothing wrong with an all black wardrobe, but all black can be styled so many ways. Mall-core, Rick, yohji, vintage, hype, etc
Experiment with textures and accessories, bags, layers, shoes, some white, grey, metallics and bright color accents.
I bought pink flowery face mask, totally a game changer. People see me different. And dying my hair in fantasy colors combined perfectly with a black wardrobe.
Just means you have a blank slate for some statements. Maybe get a vintage jacket with a logo or design you like on it. Or have a colorful middle layer between black pants and a black shirt or jacket.
black is cool and convenient. you don't have to think a lot and just wear anything. at the end it's all about the silhouette your outfit makes.
Not over committing while embracing other styles creates nuance and therefore establishes your own unique style.
Seriously, I'll wear full zip Streetwear hoodies(cactus jack/bape) under a Burberry trench coat, style that with some Amiri/Balmain skinny jeans and Rick Owens abstract high tops and it looks fucking amazing. I'm mixing like 4 different worlds of fashion and as long as I get the color blocking right it looks immaculate.
@@samgray4566 a lil expensive eh
@@66kc30 you have no idea lol, but we all buy within our means. I've had a very good run here lately and my wardrobe, car, and house reflect that.
@@66kc30 also I constantly keep an ear to the ground on Vestiare, the real real, and grailed, I may be rocking a $15000 outfit but it only puts me like $4000-$5000 out of pocket.
@@samgray4566 what do u do for a living
It’s like the “GLOW-UP”✨ don’t force it it’ll happen slowly and over time
It's like everything, actually.
idk I call BS. A glowup is never going to happen just magically over time. It takes effort, and what I hear when you say over commitment, just sounds like trial and error to me.
It must be said: this advice also helps you build a more sustainable wardrobe. Taking things slow, you can strategize future purchases while focusing on quality and versatility over the current trends or what you think is cool NOW. Like Christian said, it’s inevitable that our style will change and evolve along with the rest of ourselves, but it’s our responsibility to be mindful of this fact while we decide if we will pull the trigger on that next unique piece (for our current wardrobe) or not. When it gets down to it, over-commitment leads to an overall waste of time, money, and other resources in this context.
Everyone talks about what to wear and buy but not one talks about the methodology and philosophy of style. This has been so valuable of a lesson.
If you discuss it it dies
I feel like these principals apply to simply developing as a person as well, shockingly deep vid with universal advice. Well done.
Top comment stole your comment rip
Sunken Cost Fallacy is the term for committing too hard. It's typically described as keeping a bad car because you already dumped a lot of money into repairs. I don't see how that wouldn't parallel relationships between people.
I wish there was a style channel like this for women.
He has a couple if friends who have channels about women's fashion
@@seva982 you can't just leave without telling us what their names are!
the themes he discusses are universal, I would never wear half the stuff he talks about.
@@seva982 please don’t be the type of people who comment something and then gatekeep information just say it no one likes a tease.
@@MisterFatherSir310 oh yea i totally agree. Especially videos like this one. I've been pressuring myself to get more into fashion but i don't know what my style is. So I'm going to go slow and steady buying pieces here or there.
I still like his videos as they're both informative and entertaining. However he is still talking about mostly mens fashion. Which i don't wear.
I wish all who read this a happy new year and a better year than 2021 (even if 2021 was great for you)! Let's make 2022 a great year!
Thank you! I hope you're going to do great in 22!!!
You as well
🙏
Still putting out quality content after all this time. Love to see it
Really felt that “you will never be satisfied” I’m happy with where I am with my style but I’m never satisfied so I’m always buying new, different pieces to add to my wardrobe
Big facts. Its never enough. You can have a different outfit for every day of the month and you'll still want to keep building.
I just get bored of my outfits after some time.
2013 will be MY year, can't wait for Iron Man 3 that Mandarin shit look dope

Bruh it's march and i still keep typing 2014
Bro I am an older guy who lives in Tokyo where style counts - and you are exactly right - you gotta build your style slowly.
I am a woman and I still take his advice. I used to refuse pink, girly clothes because I thought I was refusing to "be like other girls" by embracing dark clothes and edgier vibe. As I've evolved (both mentally and in fashion) I've come to realize that the mere refusal meant I was limiting myself and my style. Long story short, even doing something "to seem different" is an act in itself.
Edit: Also, choose pieces even when you don't think they go with one aesthetic. That whole trend is limiting your wardrobe and stressing you out.
i love how your videos evolved from funny fashion advice and occasional style roosting to more complex shit that actually has a lot of message and meaning to it and i feel like your videos become more than just simple entertainment and i feel like im a lil bit more then i was before the vid ty man for great work this year it really helped my dripp a lot :)
I pay attention to trends but I rarely follow them. When I buy it’s usually classic pieces that will stand the rest of time and never go out of style. I also try to shop sustainably. trend hopping can be fun but it can burn you out and burn through your wallet.
(Commenting this while purging my closet for the new year). Thanks for the advice Christian! 🙏
Taken with a grain of salt, no matter how long you've been in the game someone usually not even as old as some of your clothes will come along and say you're trying too hard or old friends who don't check on you will say you've changed too much. Based on their perception and how often they look at you, you may look drastically different one day. My very best fashion advice is wear what you like to please yourself, if you can do that, a small degree of happiness will find it's way to you. Don't nose dive, but when you do find things you like its okay to enjoy them.
I've DEFINITELY caught this early before I even started to over commit. For instance I've started to like oversized, but it's really easy to realize you don't have enough fit variety. Graphic shirts are cool, but then you realize that you can buy stuff with simple but interesting designs. Anyone can get a graphic tee with an artist that passed, but what about a shirt with a cool design no one's seen before? Basically I caught onto this before I fell into the rabbit hole.
Half my closet is oversized bc i have body dysmorphia 🤷♂️
I hope to achieve drip this year.
don't we all 😔
Start setting aside money from your check every week and your wardrobe will start growing exponentially. I save like $250 a week from my check that is soley for clothes, $400 if I have a good week on my side hustles. If I buy a something crazy like a Gucci bag I take a few weeks off lol.
@@samgray4566 Lol, spend that gucci money on something that isn't tacky and overpriced.
@@starmorpheusHaters make me smile, just because you don't like something (or can't afford it lol) doesn't mean the rest of the world thinks the same. How bout you say what you like to blow your money on and I'll shit all over it too.
Relatable af. Got into fashion fast and hard. Luckily, I noticed my mistakes pretty quickly and made immediate changes. Now, I never even consider buying something unless it immediately catches my eye and I get that feeling of "I need to have this". And then always make sure I got the basics covered so I can always build off that one piece. One year later, I finally have a functional wardrobe I'm happy with.
Honestly the best way to take things slow is to be broke
Thanks for making these videos man, I'm a young person (14) that just started trying to get into fashion and dressing myself up a bit more and these videos always help me and give me a ton of inspiration that I need either for style, shoes, ways to make my fits look better, etc; So thanks again for making these im glad I found your channel right when I needed it the most :)
When I started watching this video I was having an anxiety crisis about what I have and haven’t accomplished yet in my life and was comparing myself to other people but somehow this part 3:48 made me realize I didn’t need to be so worried about it. So thank you I guess?
Spent my student aid ($2000~) on online thrifting such as depop, poshmark, grailed, ebay. Bartered, bought, and rotated through so many styles. Workwear, Rick, some tech, Hedi, distressed kanye, etc.. Ended up finding Ann D, Red Wings, RRL, and vintage boots as my "true" style, after 2 years or rotating and losing/gaining money through the used markets.
Was it worth it? Definitely. I tried on so many things, I hated and loved so many things, I regretted and rejoiced over so many items. At the end, I have a wardrobe I love so much I don't look at the mirror anymore and have to convince myself that "this is me," it just is me, and it was a mixture of everything I tried.
I needed this
Been tryna evolve my style for a couple years and I definitely do get the “what do I have at home that matches this” whenever I shop so that last part was good advice
2013 will be my year?? Man got so deep in philosophy he regressed to an earlier point in life.
I’ve been watching for the past 3 years n damn u come such a long way! Happy New Years everyone!
I got myself a pair of black boots and that really changed the vibe of my wardrobe, even the combinations I wear the most. I feel like that was the thing that set the tone of my style and now most of the clothing I wear just look extra cool
These are actually great tips since I just started being overcommited to my style
Finally a new Frugal Aesthetic video! 100% worth the wait.
100% creating your own look for yourself is so important especially with being happy with how you look and being comfortable, and you gotta be open to changes
What I recommend for buying clothes:
Find yourself a triangle of friends or family members whose opinion you value.
The three people should be:
Friend A: Does it look nice?
Friend B: Is it cool?
Friend C: Is it unique?
If 2 out of 3 friends can agree on the item, get it. If it looks nice and is a cool piece, doesn’t really matter whether it’s super unique. The other way around, if it’s cool and unique, it doesn’t need to be super fancy. Etc.
After that, evaluate in another triangle:
Do I need the item?
Can I afford it?
Is there enough room for it in my closet?
If you need it and have room for it, you’ll get the money eventually. If you need it and can afford it, you can always make room for it.
These two triangles assure me in my buying decisions and prevent myself from buying stuff that I would love to have but just cannot afford while I don’t really need it.
Lol that’s funny I do a similar thing with my friends
Thanks for this!!
I would add one more point to the second triangle (making it a square, I guess)- ‘will the item pair well with clothing I already own?’
@@ytknits4892 Excellent point.
@@ytknits4892 wtf haven’t you watched the video
This is actually really true you gotta go through the process of starting out figuring out what you like and feel good in and developing that to your original developed style
My style transformation timeline:
Neon phase (duh)
Wannabe edgy scene kid whose parents wouldnt let him be edgy or scene, mostly black, navy, and white
Surfer dude type beat with tie dye, lots of light blue, and tan
Wannabe eboy, but with colors from my surfer dude phase: black, gray, white, jewelry, blue, tie dye
Experimenting with color phase, lots of pastels, yellows, pink, blue, etc.
Trying to make color "edgy" by adding more black
Realizing that I don't feel confident or comfortable in bright colors and it SHOWS
Embrace almost all black and gray
Get bored with black and gray
Realize I get complimented whenever I wear certain darker shades of colors, especially green
Wear browns, blacks, greens, grays, and whites and feeling more comfortable in my style than ever!!
This is all to say that when it's said that finding your style is a process, it is a PROCESS. Nothing wrong with jumping around between styles, especially when you pick up parts from each part! I discovered how much I love funky jewelry from my eboy phase, found my comfortable roots from my wannabe scene phase, and found colors that worked best with my vibe from my bright color phase. It gets better!
Also, controversial opinion, but trend hopping isn't necessarily a bad thing. Buy that carhartt detroit jacket if you think it would fit with your personal style. Maybe skip the double knees if it's not you. Swap out the dunks or jordans or vans for some combat boots. Make it your own--no shame in it!
Thank you so much! I really needed to hear this, let's make fashion and dressing myself fun again!
christian's been mad fine recently
true
Best video ever you made so far, lowkey unlocked anothrr perspective in life 4 me dawg thanks💪🏽
Man this is what ive been lacking thanks man youll always be the best fashion vlogger
I started properly getting into fashion a couple years ago and made some highly questionable buys. A kenzo tiger sweatshirt, a Supreme metallic gold synthetic sweater, and even a Dior belt with a big CD icon - yeesh. I rarely/never wear any of them now (should really onsell)...but they did further a process of exploration and learning, and now I feel much more confident and knowledgeable in my choices, relatively speaking.
this video is not only fashion advice, it's a life lesson
Bro I've been trying to articulate drip progression for ages now, thank you 🙏
Its like excercise for your fashion stat 💪
you are talking to my soul not just about fashion right now it hits different
Huge agree with adding color. There’s lots of black and gray in my wardrobe, like LOTS and adding reds, green and lights works wonders lmao.
this is why i like wearing womens pants/shoes that can sort of pass as unisex, adds a lil extra detail different to male clothes
Sexy fits guaranteed 👌✨
I swear, all the cool looking boots I've seen are women's, they are like 2 sizes too short for me
WHY
@@leonardo9259 buy big size, if youre average size male (like me mens us9, then female size will
almost always be in stock)
Did this for a while when i was still exploring my style, ended up not being for me but it was cool.
But damn if you are willing to sacrifice normal pockets for some style points you are deep in the game ahahahah.
@@Stefan-pj3oz I just carry a small crossbody or my trusty acne messenger if i need more space 😭
i love this channel cos men dont get much variety of clothing online like it feels like women get so much more options but this channel makes me realise men can like fashion too
This man just for 15 minutes told me to be myself and I needed it . I love u christian
Christian, your videos are becoming more and more like a therapy session about my life... And i kinda like that in a strange way... Anyway great vid, keep up the goodwork ;)
been wearing hoodies and jeans for years
maybe ill finally try and break the cycle by cosplaying astolfo
When you do it upload a video of it
I'm praying for you to realize how good skirts and hoodies look combined.
You told a whole story of my teenager phase when i struggled to find thing that look cool and tried to fit in with my friends. Until i realized everyone were chasing a same style, dressing the same clothes and now iam commiting to vintage clothing
I got the oversized jumper from the eva undercover capsule; I have no other edgy clothes,i'm 6'2, and it completely drowns me. I am lkiving my best life slowly picking up pieces which work better than i currently have and i am loving the vibe
2013 will be my year 😤😤😤
Also, happy new year frugal
i literally impulsively bought techwear clothing last year and now i don't even like hoodies. because i realised that style is not me at all. now i like shit like grunge, denim, band Ts and all but i don't wanna overcommit again. so i wear those waterproof hoodies anyways 😭😭. my adhd has got me having trust issues on myself. lool
Just slowly move from techwear to grunge. I went through a similar issue of commiting to a skater esque look last year and realized I was more into the grunge look myself recently. The way I'm going about switching is by buying a pair of Dr Martens to help me slowly get more acquainted with said aesthetic. If I were you I'd start off by buying a cool tee or two as a sort of middle ground area to start off.
The only solution i have for you is buying from thirft stores, the clothes are cheap and you can experiment and try all the vibes you can imagine, unless u like very specific and modern things like techware lmao tf is that. But yeah grunge is no problem go hunt
Figuratively
One of th most informative videos in a while. Man I needed this
The talk in the end about whether it is better to be perpetually mid or take an occasional L reminded me of one video where one ball travels on even ground and the other has ups and downs and in the end the one with ups and downs gets further
HAPPY NEW YEARRSS BROOSS
This guy is the king of metaphors
I have been stuck in that phase were I just think what would look good with what I have home until one day I bought some cargo pants (I had no idea of fashion before) and it opened my mind and next time I go to the store or somewhere imma buy something different that I have at home. Thanks for the advice. Keept the great work
This gut a s so true, it took me years to perfect myself and now Im awesome ❤❤❤
I'm buying all my shoes used now. Although I do need a blend of a more mature wardrobe since I can dress nice but I only mainly do it for work. Need some quality boots from cavenders as well. I feel like I'm outgrowing graphic tees.
I felt like I was outgrowing graphic tees too! Thrifting some polos really helped my wardrobe.
Finally my dose of existentialism
I appreciate how this channel is subtly sprinkling personal dev/life philosophy content. Nice evolution!
happy new year Christian!
You know it’s a reliable source when he says “what the fuck am I talking about” in the middle of the video
2013 will be my year 😤, great advice as always
Man actually give us some inspiration behind his words and jokes, actually thanks to him i changing my own style from alpha male wannabe to comfy/soft boii that makes me more comfortable than before because it's somewhat resembling me more than want to be looking tough
Easily the best channel on fashion right now
When I started getting into fashion I spend 35 dollars in a techwear jacket on aliexpress. It doesn’t feel like much now but back then I was underage and spent a whole ass year collecting that money. A couple of months later I realized techwear/functional wear and warcore aesthetics were too dark for my taste and didn’t really fit me (especially since it’s always hot where I live in) so I felt guilty for spending so much money on something I didn’t really like and wouldn’t use. I was just copying some german girl I followed on ig. A sold it on marketplace a year later and got the money back lol
Reselling your old clothes is key for your budget
where is the jacket from?
One of your best videos, writing wise. Enjoyable to watch
happy new year christian
I still rock the 03 big ass shirt and pants look to this day. Toss on my Chicago 1s and I feel right at home. Two puffs of Dior cologne and I’m all set. It’s all about being comfortable in your own skin 😀

Bruh, try switching to Rick Owens LMFAO. Unless you're making 100k a year your going to take months to build one outfit. Real talk though if you like Nike hop on grailed, mercari, or Poshmark. When I first started buying clothes I got really into Ralph Lauren and I stocked my polo shirt collection (one for every day of the week) for like $200.

Came here for clothing advice stayed for the life advice
After binging this channel over the last week or so I’ve realised I ain’t got no style I fr need to change EVERYTHING
Get one item from every category: accessories, pants, shoes, top and a layer. Go and play.
(Getting one item means you can borrow, buy 2nd hand, steal, trade, make, modify, tailor... Etc not always buying new)
Start with basics, don’t go out and buy stuff that seems really cool first (even though I know that’s kinda tough lol…). Once you have a good amount of go-to pants, shirts, t-shirts and hoodies/sweatshirts/sweaters in basic or neutral tones (black, white, navy blue, brown, olive and khaki/beige)you can build on top of that really easily.
It’s like trying to paint. It’s hard to paint on a canvas already splattered with various colors but you can paint a beautiful image on top of a neutral-toned canvas.
@@jerrell1169 very well said. But go all in on your jacket, shoes, and bag, it's what people are going to notice. Start buying some next level shirts when it gets warm.
I’m always committed to you christian, you don’t gotta ask 🥰

I feel like telling myself not to worry about achieving the HOLY PERSONAL STYLE is the best thing I could have done for my wardrobe, just finding pieces that I like, from designers with concepts that I'm interested in.
