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.
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.
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.
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 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

A new fragrance can totally change up how you feel you're projecting yourself and that will also change how you fell about your fits. Couple weeks back I bought a sampler of Marc Antoine Barrois' 'Ganymede' as I liked how weird and divisive the reviews for it are, and it makes me feel like a whole other person wearing it.
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.
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. 😊
"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"
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! ✌🏾
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)
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
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
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.
Been watching for a few months now but this was the video that got me to subscribe. Keep up the great work man. On that note I'm gonna keep rocking my "simple" Sambas 😎😂
I feel like calling something 'basic' and 'simple' sometimes depends on where you are. like at my school (i live in tokyo but go to an american school), basic is the way most of the boys dress themselves is like basketball shorts, basketball shoes/slides, compression shirt/black t-shirt maybe with a graphic design, headphones always, and a perm. that's basic. but a few people wear way more simple stuff, but it stands out cause its not the norm. something a bit more normal for tokyo which is like boxier shirts/less fitted shirts, shorts with a simple design on them. that's pretty minimalistic, but the guys wearing that stand out from the 'basic'.
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.
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
I think a better synonym for basic is safe. People wear basic stuff because they know it's liked and accepted as nice. The same with pop music. It's produced and played all the time because it's safe for big companies/artists. I wouldn't say the goal of having a simple fit is to be memorable, it's more about the mixture of functionality and also putting together something that you yourself enjoy that isn't tried and trued by every celebrity ever. The quality (NOT PRICE) of garments is also a huge factor over something being some Nike or designer shit.
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 😂
💀
Someone called him basic, and now he’s having a breakthrough
Fr the whole channel is like a midlife crisis
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.
@@lt3880 I agree but I feel like it's not obvious to everyone that the first step is to be noticed.
i seen some dude in oversized basketball shorts , simple tee, and cow boy boots. idk why but it was a memorable outfit . i liked it

easy to get, affordable, many people have it = basic
rare, expensive, niche = simple
