Deadass when a Frugal video came up on my recommended for the first time, it was one of the older videos where it was narration-only, and I definitely just pictured Hiccup but hypebeast.
since 2017 graduated college, got a job, made a career out of it, got married, became an uncle to 3 nices and nephews, revamp my style cause i watch frugal and other fashion youtubers, and now im working on my weight and eating habits. shit man i've done a lot to be honest.
People appreciate thoughtfulness, and in a fashion context basic is essentially a synonym for thoughtless, you wore the outfit without care as to why it fits you or your aesthetic and more than likely the fit is an attempt to follow a trend without thinking about why it aligns with your overall look. This is why the same outfit can look great on one person but basic on another person.
Although my knowledge of fashion is limited, I think the distiction between simple and basic is insight and elegance. A simple and clean fit is elegant and skillfully put together using insight and technique gained from experience.
Since 2017, graduated high school, undergrad, and in the last month of my Master's, got a girlfriend that year and we are still together, moved to a new province, made new friends and hobbies 🤠
What did i do since 2017. I went to middle school, survived covid 5 times, kept my grades up despite the pandemic, overcame my technology addiction, started to garden, started going to the gym in high school, made my high school volleyball team, broke my wrist (playing soccer), broke my elbow (rock climbing), broke my ankle (playing soccer), healed, trained with the Guatemalan national volleyball team, tried to ask a girl on a date (she invited her friends), started caring about fashion, subscribed to Frugal Aesthetic, and started dressing better. 😊
Frugal teaches us how to be aesthetically pleasing and mentally aware. The switch in topic yet continuation of the topic keeps me watching this channel. “What makes you memorable?”- Frugal
I feel like a lot people think converse are basic but they are my favorite shoe of all time I think based on how simple and versatile they are. W shoe will buy them forever
2024 What I have done with my life this year: - travel Asia for 1 month (Japan, Korea, Thailand) - visit Portugal - Visit France and go to a Travis Scott concert - Visit Monaco - Lost all my money doing this and had to wake up at 5 every morning for work - Going to visit Norway next month - Apply to flight school Cheers Frugal
@@luckycat4241 thanks, I appreciate it bro🤝 life is all about experience, at least for me at this point of life. Bless you and I hope you will get to experience life to the fullest with all of its ups and downs🙏
Best ending ever!!!! makes you really think about who we call “fashion icons” and what makes them that. Not everyone can be a “Fashion Icon”. I love your videos tho! ✌🏾
You should look into the scentbird CEO she is legitimately crazy (like saying people who have cancer are responsible for that because cancer comes from bad attitudes and stuff like that). I wouldn't want to advertise for a company by such a person.
i can summ it up like this: a simple outfit is a simple outfit that works well. a basic outfit is a simple outfit that doesn't work well. that's all there is to it.
Thanks for reminding me to push back my Scentbird subscription again! It is an absurdly terrible process to cancel it and there's no way to cancel on the website (that will gladly let you sign up and pay). I did enjoy the actual video tho
“If you’re not basic, what makes you memorable” everyone’s trying to be special or not basic ironically creates this cycle. Bro is really the only one out here thinking
Since 2017 i watched my dad die, made an album, graduated university, made a ton of new friends, got a job at a radio station, survived a tumour, started making short films, and started hooking up with a friend who is actually nice to me. I think I’ve been watching frugal for about 5 of those years?? High highs, low lows.
Damn bro I know this isnt relevant but Ive been a long time subscriber and seeing you in that tank top, Youre looking better than ever. I see the gains bro o7
I love how much hate Sambas are getting like Air Jordans and Forces aren’t by far the most popular shoe, some people really want to see 9/10 people wearing Nike, they’re not happy with 8 😭
00:00🤔 Why do people dislike being called basic? 00:11🎨 There's a distinction between "simple" and "basic" in fashion and creative mediums. 00:23🔍 "Simple" is often praised for its effectiveness with minimal materials, while "basic" is criticized for lacking essence. 00:57👗 Differentiating between a "simple and clean" style versus a "basic" one depends on intent and execution. 01:53👃 Incorporating subtle details like accessories and fragrances can enhance a simple style without making it basic. 02:18👕 There's a perceived contrast between "simple" and "basic" in various creative fields. 03:55🛍 "Basic" is often used pejoratively, implying lack of originality or depth. 04:51👟 Overexposure to certain styles or trends can lead to them being labeled as "basic." 06:15🎵 Embracing simplicity in fashion doesn't mean being boring; it's about deliberate styling and nuance. 07:38👔 Personal style should reflect intentionality to avoid being perceived as "basic." 09:28🎥 Media and cultural saturation can contribute to things being labeled as "basic" due to familiarity. 10:00📅 Reflecting on the passage of time, highlighting the realization of how quickly years pass. 10:52💭 Emphasizes the notion of not being forgettable, encouraging individuality and leaving a memorable impression. 11:20👕 Challenges the concept of being "basic" by suggesting that striving to be memorable is key in fashion and beyond.
i think the only problem i have with basis is when the whole outfit is made up of basics. but when someone uses basics pieces in their overall unique style that’s where you can still get by
"When you walk away, you don't hear me say "Please, oh baby, don't go" Frugal and Aesthetic Is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go"
had to pause and reflect for a second, looking at the 7.5 soon 8 full calendar years that have passed. i've been watching this Frugal fly ass mf's video's since i was in 8th grade 2017 and 2024 im reselling on IG making good bread 5th year in business now partially thanks to u my guy, basic knowledge u gave turned into generational wisdom for me dawg
The difference is that simple means minimalistic but not generic, whilst basic means doing ehat everyone else does without putting much interest into it.
i think the difference is “basic” refers to how popular something is in a negative connotation (i.e “nike tech with jordans is so basic), while “simple” rather refers to the simplicity of a piece or outfit . a good example frugal gives/ shows is the margiela gat (though the gat itself is becoming basic)
DONT DO IT GUYS, SCENTBIRD sucks. They’re charge you even after you cancel with them. They’ll tell you (this time you won’t be charged sorry about that) you’ll still be charged 😂 I’m not even trying to be dramatic, but it had been so bad I was going nuts. I still got charged LAST MONTH 😭 I hate scentbird and the scents weren’t that great I still have 2 full capsules lmao
Someone called him basic, and now he’s having a breakthrough
Fr the whole channel is like a midlife crisis
Frugal actually doing his job💀🙏
😂
right until he flamed me for doing nothing with my life.. KJSGH
we got frugal doing his job before GTA6
@@jhincitahe joking, but I also took that stray to heart 😂
💀
He’s the only person that tricks me every time when he starts a rant that turns into a ad and I am here for it 😂
Tbh he's the on,y person i dont skip the ads for because of how he talks is so entertaining
Him and the simplified history channel have mastered this technique 😂
Bro never fails to give me existential crisis
every frugal vid got that existential segment fr
My boy is back so he can pay his rent
Perfect timing, I'm on my lunch at work
I wasn't expecting an existential crisis during my lunch, man wtf
so what have u done since 2017? (sry lol)
what makes you memorable?
Died at the simple and clean bit💀💀

@hansmemling2311 you can get noticed temporarily by wearing a bunch of trend hopper bullshit but nobody will think about you afterwards
@@ringotheflamingo6900 yeah but they won't remember you either if they don't notice you. The statement makes no sense.
@@hansmemling2311 I think you misunderstood the point. Being noticed is only step 1, being remembered is step 2. Not everyone makes it to step 2.

Tf happened!? This man returned to us in base form😂😂
i frugaled my aesthetic when i saw christians face
9:27 "i could really go on forever but i dont have a lot of time on my hands" and goes on to spend a whole minute on a random thought lmao
7:40 oml this is raw
Wii music is great, dudes ripped, makes good points, has a soothing voice, and brings his personality to the video. Great work all around.
your editing has actually gotten incredible, every video is extremely watchable
Simple and clean is the way you're making me feel tonight.... it's hard to let it go.
simple, basic, none of it matters. The snuggie is the new meta.
SIMPLE AND CLEAN
bro said the three things on everyone’s mind: “it’s already been more than half the year” “what did i even do this year” “2017 was 7 years ago”
Although my knowledge of fashion is limited, I think the distiction between simple and basic is insight and elegance.

This is so me when i care about how other people perceive me

i havent watched frugal in a while, this guy keeps getting more and more handsome i swear
Best ending ever!!!! makes you really think about who we call “fashion icons” and what makes them that. Not everyone can be a “Fashion Icon”. I love your videos tho! ✌🏾
Simple is more like insinuate your body and proportions, basic is just anything that you throw on that everybody has imo
You should look into the scentbird CEO she is legitimately crazy (like saying people who have cancer are responsible for that because cancer comes from bad attitudes and stuff like that). I wouldn't want to advertise for a company by such a person.
that last quote really got me looking at my closet with a lab coat and a clipboard
i can summ it up like this:
a simple outfit is a simple outfit that works well.
a basic outfit is a simple outfit that doesn't work well.
that's all there is to it.
this might be one of frugals best vids💯

Thanks my man
5:46 all black + calling out bodily proportions as part of clothing aesthetics. Careful, you're spiraling into Rick Owens territory.
When Christian picked up on the Simple and Clean thing I was not only never prouder but audibly cheered… and that PLEASE- stop.
How does a man drop pearls of profound wisdom about not just fashion but life and manage to look ridiculous at the same time
“What makes you memorable”
Thanks for reminding me to push back my Scentbird subscription again! It is an absurdly terrible process to cancel it and there's no way to cancel on the website (that will gladly let you sign up and pay). I did enjoy the actual video tho
I liked the thesis. These feel more and more like vsauce clips
“If you’re not basic, what makes you memorable” everyone’s trying to be special or not basic ironically creates this cycle. Bro is really the only one out here thinking
I watch all your videos at 2.25x speed and I skip all the sponsors
Justice for the sambas, they comfy
Simple and clean is such a banger of a song
