Love that point you made where you said “by virtue of being alive you are unique.” We all have an amount of untapped uniqueness within us, we just need to find ourselves to unlock it.
I have a staff member that needs to hear this tomorrow. We had a conversation that came close to this where they said “I don’t know why anyone would care what I think, it’s not like I’m anything special.” They’re getting this for sure... 👊🏿🧔🏾
Yo, that hit me hard. I like that, very philosophical. That was deep. Circa 1999, in my 20s, I saw Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden proclaim: "You are not a unique snowflake." I think many of us came to believe uniqueness is soft, at a certain personal cost, including sacrificing personal style.
@@elusana your annoyed tone, your question's legitimacy, and your apparent shared love of fashion with this guy just gave me the chuckle of the day. I still would like an answer, though.
Love the way you lift everyone up by telling us we're unique and encourage us to refine our own personal styles, while keeping the channel very approachable and inclusive!
I truly love your content. Truly casual, but very informative and thought-provoking, in the sense that you raise awareness towards crucial aspects of fashion, regardless of if we notice them or not.
Glad I found this channel. I never cared about clothes or style and such. I'm poor, but when I have the opportunity I buy certain pieces as you say that I feel like won't have me looking like a bumkin if I go outside my hillbilly town.
In the beginning I found my taste was all over the place. Love that look, love this look and that one! So a lot of my pieces came from lots of different vibes. Lacked cohesion. Once I matured, got a bit older, like you said, I developed intentionality, and now my style has become about putting together the opposite which seemingly don't belong. Current obsession, tech wear fused w/ rural timeless classics (aka stylish workwear or like the farmer who read GQ 😂)
I’ve watched a lot of your vids and I don’t know how I missed this one- it’s definitely one of the best ones I think. Intentionality, and the way you describe using it as approach to define your style- brilliant. Hiding in plain sight. Thanks for that and all the other great tips!
Can't say it enough how insanely happy and lucky I am with finding this channel, really sparked my interest in refining my style and looking at the way I am and how to dress myself around it!
I always want to hate on Uniqlo but it’s really a boon for fashion heads. Needed a low key thicker sweater, with no pattern, and after hitting two departo, drop in and boom. Fleece cardigan for 30 and looks great with different styles. H&M I can’t do though...
This is a great topic. Especially when you talked about your wardrobe as a tool and your style as the art. I feel like I’ve been, to some extent, unintentionally intentional with building archetypal/recurring themes throughout my fits. Either way, having a variety of different pieces that all fit the general aesthetic of “me” makes building outfits and adding new elements that much more satisfying.
Hi Reggie, I have been following your videos on and off once in awhile, I want to say that the content you provide is very thoughtful, insightful and of benefit. I rarely even leave comments. What you brought up in this video really places emphasis on what separates on having confidence [but lack of style] and having a unique style or rather, a defined style. I would also like to add that previous videos or some vids from long ago, touching on topics which are controversial [e.g something something west or white] are food for thought for your viewers or the people that might stumble across those videos. I conclude by saying that keep up the good work and content [researching, exploring, comparing, keeping an open mind, which i know u have] and spreading the knowledge. The thoughts that i keep to myself and feel about, you share it for all to see and think about.
Nah fam money is everything you feel? I gotta flex my 25,000 dollars fake Rolex watch to a "How Much Is Your Outfit?" video so people will think I have great style, Reggie.
I was thinking about the same thing a while ago. The thought process and the complete knowingness of a part of an outfit is often overlooked. Maybe that “ugly” outfit was meant to be ugly and maybe those shoes that do not (or do) perfectly match the colour of something else in your outfit were intended to be that way. Just intentionality repeated over time can say so much about a persons style or more so, personality.
This was a great post. It got me the thinking about my wadrope and how it got where it got from a year ago. Intent is one good bullet point in the list of things that help get to your style. Nice.
Master the basics and slip in a focus piece low key. No need to stand out, but you can stylish. A nice accessory or a cool tee or whatever. That’s what the Japanese do well. Like Beams. A bunch of different styles under one brand house.
I think I understand somehow what you were trying to say but if you allways make little changes, could it not happen that after a while you are stuck in a surton style? For example i allways wear skinny jeans mostly in black, pullovers and/or just big tshirts (if its to hot). Some while ago i found really nice looking baggy pants online that i really would like to wear but now that im in my surton style the baggy pants would destroy it alltough they look very nice.
I never had any in my near 50 years as I thought most looked cheap, but I picked up two pair of Gap shorts. They’re thick, a lot of material, and seem a bit over dyed. They looked well made with just enough unique touches. Just saying. Not dadtastic fare...
Thank you for this video. I've been watching you for a little while now and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos, especially this one.
Ya for those who want to stay a wallflower, adding intentionality will produce impeccable wallflower 😅 But hey even a “grayman” style is possible. Even more of a wallflower.
Confidence evokes style, you can put a bunch of supreme on a typical introvert anime dude and he still wont stand out. Be yourself and be unapologetic.
What brand is the leather feather necklace that Reggie wear? i remember he mentioned the name of the brand on the past videos, but i forgot what is the exact brand
one of my secrets is don't give a fuck about what joe schmoe from buffalo thinks about your style, dress how you feel and how you want. don't listen to the nay sayers to your style.... that is key in my book
I think I have reached a point where I really know exactly what look I'm interested in, but it doesn't have that effortless feeling. I have several friends with impeccable taste in clothes, most often thrifted vintage items, who seem to be able to create perfectly harmonious and well-thought-out looks using any permutation of their wardrobe. I envy that effortless quality. I'm curious to hear peoples' opinions. Is it bad to have clashing pieces in one's wardrobe that really would never look good worn together, or is having a little variety good? I like a little variety, but inconsistency drives me crazy.
Variety is good, but every piece has to have some kind of look that it goes with. You don't need to go in for the same kind of look every day, but every look should work on its own merits. Having a completely mix & matchable wardrobe is impressive, but it's impressive in part because it's an exercise in navigating some pretty steep limits. It's a really specific way of choosing your collection. You're not obliged to limit yourself in that way, but if you want to then I'd recommend pulling out your sketchbook & laying out some ideas you want to move your style towards.
Word. Sketching is a good idea, surprised I never considered sketching out possible fits with my existing wardrobe instead of just imagining entirely new pieces. Maybe it's a side-effect of being an artist, but I definitely get too hung up on consistency and maintaining a particular aesthetic.
i watch your videos a whole lot, and i do think your knowledge and passion for fashions real good. but whenever i see them kingdom hearts necklace on your neck it makes me doubt you, just a lil bit.
I believe you just totally ignored or misinterpreted the question. The question was: "I don't want to stand out, do you have any tips?" You basically made a video about how amazing it is to be unique, and how to achieve a coherent, intentional look for people to notice. The whole idea was to express less character, to NOT get noticed. Not everyone wants to stand out, but a lot of people can't conceive that.
The REASON for making the episode was due to the question, not to answer the question directly. "Prompted" doesn't mean "answer". As such I made a video about those that don't want to be incredibly risque with style. The simple guy is often ignored. Why not give him or her a reason to care? We use words like modest, simple, and detail to invoke a sense of intentionality. People notice intention and the only way to remain unassuming in those circumstances, or a wall flower so to speak, is to remain the same person characteristically even after the fact. The brands listed were modest but simple, with little to no braggadocio. Brands that care more about the individuals taste than trying to impress. You can't teach a wall flower to remain a wall flower. But you can teach them how to feel better about what they're wearing. Why not address them with detail and what makes them unique? In short, I didn't misinterpret, I expanded on simplicity. Which is usually the angle for the guy who wants something more simple and refined to his character. I only hope I provided that in some way. But if you feel I didn't then who am I to say you're wrong? Your opinion is as valid as the points raised in the video. So where does that leave us? Nowhere really. It's inconsequential. You'll forget about this convo in the next few minutes after reading this. If you do at all.😉 ~Reggie
I'm sorry but I am not going to waste a ton of cash on these clothes when I can make the same looks from h&m Zara and unoqlo. And spend dollars on shoes boots and a coat.
I think people confuse unique-ness with being interesting. There are definitely un-interesting and plain people out there (most people in fact). People with no opinions (or under-informed opinions), people with no sense of individuality, people with no interests/hobbies/passions other than the basics (food, tv/movies, hanging out w/friends, etc.), and people who don't know how to tell stories about their life. I could go on forever. Uniqueness just means no one is exactly like you; it says nothing about how interesting you are. You can leverage your uniqueness to become interesting, but most people are so satisfied being comfortable that they never do.

Love that point you made where you said “by virtue of being alive you are unique.”

That shit hit different, even though I know im unique fashion wise it made me rethink other aspects of life

As a UNIQLO employee who loves the products I sell, I appreciate your love for the basics.
Which Uniqlo
Bruh why you always talking about being a uniqlo employee
Nah you got it all wrong go to Target homie they got all the essentials
@@elusana your annoyed tone, your question's legitimacy, and your apparent shared love of fashion with this guy just gave me the chuckle of the day. I still would like an answer, though.
basics are for basic boring people
Love the way you lift everyone up by telling us we're unique and encourage us to refine our own personal styles, while keeping the channel very approachable and inclusive!
Well The Casual IS a motivation channel that parades around like a fashion channel.
I truly love your content. Truly casual, but very informative and thought-provoking, in the sense that you raise awareness towards crucial aspects of fashion, regardless of if we notice them or not.
Glad I found this channel. I never cared about clothes or style and such. I'm poor, but when I have the opportunity I buy certain pieces as you say that I feel like won't have me looking like a bumkin if I go outside my hillbilly town.

I love your channel so much because you give advice but you don’t tell us what to wear and when to wear it like a lot of other “fashion” TH-camrs.
Kudos for bringing up Kazuyuki Kumagai. My favorite too. Basic clothes with a minimum amount of avant garde twist.
So inspiring! INTENTIONALITY...."you" are in the details.
I’ve watched a lot of your vids and I don’t know how I missed this one- it’s definitely one of the best ones I think. Intentionality, and the way you describe using it as approach to define your style- brilliant. Hiding in plain sight. Thanks for that and all the other great tips!
bro, u need to link up with Ken Ijima
^
it would be cool to see them create some content together or just get a vlog of them chatting about their views/opinions on fashion
Can't say it enough how insanely happy and lucky I am with finding this channel, really sparked my interest in refining my style and looking at the way I am and how to dress myself around it!

You sir, stand as my favorite channel in this genre. Thank you for your quality work.
Lmfaooo my comments prompted a video. I'm honored. 10/10 video 😂😂😂😂
The eyes are open bro😳. Thanks for helping out+

Bener banget tuh lol
your content is second to none bro, been a fan of yours since way back
I'm really glad I found your channels. I'm going to Japan in three months and already got so many shopping tipps from you. Cheers!

Amazing video! Content like this is why I follow you. I appreciate your perspective
I think I understand somehow what you were trying to say but if you allways make little changes, could it not happen that after a while you are stuck in a surton style?

Thank you Reggie, the work you do on these videos are stunning.
"Small details that give the most egregious pieces, like cargo shorts" YO WANNA FIGHT?! LOL.... i love cargo shorts.
ROCK'EM WELL BRO!
I never had any in my near 50 years as I thought most looked cheap, but I picked up two pair of Gap shorts. They’re thick, a lot of material, and seem a bit over dyed. They looked well made with just enough unique touches. Just saying. Not dadtastic fare...
Thank you for this video. I've been watching you for a little while now and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos, especially this one.
Oh, I was surprised to see Shuhei Nishiguchi.
That's our guy!
Been waiting for this one.
Ya for those who want to stay a wallflower, adding intentionality will produce impeccable wallflower 😅 But hey even a “grayman” style is possible. Even more of a wallflower.
Beautiful points
Would be great if you bring back ESSENTIALS episodes. Start with Punkrock/Goth/Grunge style.
They're coming😉
From the comment you know you killed it. I So enjoyed this vid
Try john Elliot as well, they make simple yet high quality clothing
Another great video. Thanks man
Haven't heard you do the "jeeezuez" phrase for a while now haha
Kind of a complain phrase by now, but i miss it
i swear he said it in his last vid lol
Confidence evokes style, you can put a bunch of supreme on a typical introvert anime dude and he still wont stand out. Be yourself and be unapologetic.
And still watch anime
Good point I already know this already but good point anyway
Well then the job of The Casual is done and we can close down this operation. 😅

one of my secrets is don't give a fuck about what joe schmoe from buffalo thinks about your style, dress how you feel and how you want. don't listen to the nay sayers to your style.... that is key in my book
finally know what keep it casual mean lol
Did you mean “ubiquitous “ instead of “egregious?” Just wondering.. ps (edit) appreciating your content and delivery style. Cheers
Same old message, ie “don’t be a hypebeast.” People haven’t learned yet?
Does anyone know the black jacket on the left at 4:43 ?
You taking the JLPT next week?
Took it years ago. I'm cool at 2. 1 is a flex but if you can do it kill it. ~Reggie

It can be easy to stress about, but so long as your clothes make you feel like yourself they're doing their job.
can I have more than one style? ...like 5?
hi
Reggie, you still doing the airbnb experience?
Big Trevor Noah at 4:13
haha, legend.
Man, I still haven't found my style even with a wardrobe full of clothes. This effin suckds
i watch your videos a whole lot, and i do think your knowledge and passion for fashions real good. but whenever i see them kingdom hearts necklace on your neck it makes me doubt you, just a lil bit.
Thats not a kingdom hearts necklace... LOL! Thats a feather necklace from a brand in Japan.
Who dislikes these videos goddam
talks about American style show a picture of Trevor Noah + Great video

ok i have one for you - just go for dadcore :D
Money does not buy style
I'm sorry but I am not going to waste a ton of cash on these clothes when I can make the same looks from h&m Zara and unoqlo. And spend dollars on shoes boots and a coat.
You should do a “critiquing followers outfits” series
If everyone is unique. Then no one is unique.
That's not how that works.
I think people confuse unique-ness with being interesting. There are definitely un-interesting and plain people out there (most people in fact). People with no opinions (or under-informed opinions), people with no sense of individuality, people with no interests/hobbies/passions other than the basics (food, tv/movies, hanging out w/friends, etc.), and people who don't know how to tell stories about their life.

You can leverage your uniqueness to become interesting, but most people are so satisfied being comfortable that they never do.
Ditch the hats
Nah. It's intentional. 😅
It's not that deep smh
It's not that simple
