I think that glowing up is just a matter of experimentation and finding what you like rather than fixing on a certain thing. I have had many awkward phases on my own journey
Bruhh this is so sus. Y? Bc u don't wear "2018" casual style all the time. At some point u have to change up within that same year. Vs "2024" u kidding me😂. I can dress like "2018" casual now and dress "2024" the next day. He is making bogus video cuz it is trend before and after trend they called. It isn't real.
i feel that my glow up started when i started paying attention to what the elderly are stepping out in. they tend to have pieces that have been around for YEARS in their closet. they aren’t trying to hard and still step out in full fits that suit them so well
Glowing up is also a big mental thing as well. Along with dressing for your body, working out, & shopping differently - you gotta really view yourself differently too. Shadow work, therapy, (whatever works for you) you have to change your mindset about who you are and who you want to be😇
gotta give recognition where it’s due, the way your physique has changed from the old vids is great. You look genuinely healthier and even happier. props brother🤞🏻 444✊🏻
for me, it's been getting older and realizing what silhouettes work best on my body. for example, higher waisted pants and a cropped jacket or top work well on me. the other major thing that has affected my style in a positive way is taking daily photos. I've been posting ootd pictures on Instagram nearly every day, and it's been so cool to see the transformation. in particular, as you mentioned in a previous video, making sure your "foundation" is strong (ie. pants and shoes), completely makes an outfit.
my style glow up happened mainly cuz of 2 things: (1) fitness, losing weight and gaining muscle and getting leaner made many of my clothes just fit better silhouettes (2) experimentation with what i like and represents my authentic self the most from wearing artist berets 👨🏽🎨 to the type of shades and shoes i wear aligns with my confidence and how i present myself to myself before anyone else sees it which makes it easier to go outside without a doubt
As a first generation American and my parents from the poor countryside of a younger South Korea, I didn't have much money to explore a ton of options and was forced to wear mainly hand me downs, clearance items, and donated items, and most of them were always oversized and more towards the workwear side of stuff. As I grew up and found more interest in clothes, I realized that I feel the most confident and comfortable in baggy clothes since I grew up and lived in baggy clothes most of my life. It's not my whole wardrobe's personality, but it's one that dominates it. Live mixing in silhouettes of traditional and countryside South Korean clothing with some American ones and makes it a unique mix for me personally. Plus, I have a hip hop freestyle dance background, so I tend to have pieces that I'd personally dance in or can see dancers in
Facts about exercising and they way your clothes fit! I love personal style and feel more confident knowing that I exercise, see progress, and wear nice pieces as they fit nicely on me!
all great, I think getting your house in order financially is also important. Fashion doesn’t need to be expensive, but spending decent money on great quality is always worth it.
444 I agree with all these! i've realized im not into big logos (Nike just do it) and more of a turtleneck with cardigan styling. Physical is a MUST. I've seen so many pieces that don't give the glow because of the lack of physical health. Love the vids!
Whenever I find a channel in its infancy like this one, I feel an obligation to keep watching forever. I grew out of that but still watch every one of your uploads. Just saw you on TikTok by chance and it made me happy. Ur an inspiration legend
444 blue eye samurai is great! the storytelling and the visuals and everything seems to fall into place. i recommend watching the boy and the heron (in theaters now) great video as always, honestly ur advice has been the one that motivated me the most to work out, let´s see how it goes
Great video, I was stalling starting my workout and appreciate what you said about health/fitness. Very true! Now off TH-cam and time to lift! 444 for the post vid crew
idrk many shows tbh ive just been too busy recently but i just discovered your channel and im loving the advice and i appreciate the connection thats made with the viewers with the pvvs lol
For me it was when I started looking at items that looked as if they were never touched in the shop. So many people go to the same pieces that they are attracted by ‘influencers’ but I seem to always get compliments on the ‘awkward’ and less sold items cause it’s unique and shows itself as different.
The problem I have with the ‘know your measurements’ is that brands often seem to have 1 size chart but make clothes in multiple fit styles. For pants that’s generally ok, waist size is waist size - how wide the leg you can determine fairly easily. But for tops, I know I’m a 38in chest & the size chart says small but I have no idea how much that changes if it’s a relaxed fit so I constantly have to trial & error with multiple sizes. That’s assuming in the first place the size chart refers to regular fitting but 9/10 that isn’t disclosed.
I’ve been watching this channel for about two years back when it was more of a very small channel and I believe drew has the potential to be one of the biggest fashion channels on TH-cam
When I first got into fashion/buying my own clothes. I didn’t know my size for t-shirts or trousers, so I went for the oversized meta as that was what was popular at the beginning of 23’ (Since I finally had a job and got my first paycheck, thus growing out of moms picked out closet😂😂) Context I’m an S 35 ish Chest size and 30.5-31 Waist but I was out here buying literally everything on XL 🌚. From an oversized mess to figuring out color patterns and being inspired every single day. 2023 was a good year and oh yeah That skinny jeans era came in AND disappeared immediately.
I loved Blue Eyed Samurai! So cool you saw it too. And I recommend Arcane. Season 2 is coming out Nov 9th! So incredibly excited for this one. The art is genre-defining. Cannot recommend enough. 444
444 Definitely agree with #5. I've always had a thin body type, but since the pandemic I've been exercising a lot and my body fat has dropped to its lowest level ever and it feels like the shirts I'm wearing are hitting some elusive ideal fit, like two instruments harmonizing on a single note. Obviously, people should do this responsibly given the prevalence of eating disorders, but it does feel like you'll only get the full sense of your clothing when you reach the body fat level of those who modelled it. I'll also quickly add that a key element of clothing, often neglected, is texture. I love clothing that is soft, but also firm, and the smooth but thick textures of single stitch shirts. Your preferred texture against your skin can add a lot to your confidence and attitude, which is why you're wearing the fit you do.
Great tips. Fashion should be more inclusive. Fit and physical appearance isn't always synonymous and clothes should adjust to be more inclusive. You yourself are tall and struggle with finding appropriate jeans. So yes be healthy, but fashion should add more inches... not tell someone to workout. So inclusivity is modern couture . Disclaimer: This is no dig at you at all.
Ok can i please be heard: on the internet, it's not about style itself but how you PRESENT the style. The location, the poses, the light, the image quality AND the one who's wearing it. Yeah outfit is distinction but on what is that distinction based on; its not post-modernism, there are some good and well regarded places (museum) and some not as well (a construction site)
You have to have confidence and wear the clothes..don't let the clothes wear you. There are so many people wearing all designer clothing and can not rock it. No "it" factor.
Also concur. Moving the body does wonders for the mental health, which in turns changes your perspective on things like appearance and style. General self-esteem boost.
444….I was so into Blue Eye Samurai all the way through the episodes but sadly, the ending disappointed me. It felt like they just had to do it so they can have another season. *no spoilers
I highly dislike the term “glow up” when it comes to fashion. Fashion to me is a never ending journey so to refer to someones style elevating from one thing to another as a “glow up” is just silly imo. It makes people feel crappy about their current or past fashion endeavours when in reality they shouldn’t cuz that’s who they were at a certain point in their life. Also don’t put your whole value in your style and your wardrobe, saying this because I know a lot of people do including myself sometimes. You’re much more than just your materialistic possessions. I don’t think there’s an end goal to fashion or style, it’s ever evolving and changing at least in my eyes. I don’t think I’ll ever hit a point where I’ll be like that’s it I’m happy with all I have in my wardrobe. Maybe I’m talking crap but that’s my 2 cents hehe
#pvv 444 Hello Drew. I don't have Netflix and I don't really enjoy animated nor anime movies😅except a few that I can count on one hand (My Neighbor Totoro, Porco Rosso, Spider-Man into the spider verse, Soul...). Thank you for the video!

I don't know how to explain this, but your videos motivate me to clean my room.
Love these and 100% agree re your last point. People don’t talk about it but feeling good about yourself makes such a difference.
im from italy and im coming to NY next week, hope to see you
all great, I think getting your house in order financially is also important. Fashion doesn’t need to be expensive, but spending decent money on great quality is always worth it.

Physical is a MUST. I've seen so many pieces that don't give the glow because of the lack of physical health.
Love the vids!
1. Be a healthy weight.
2. Moisturise.
3. Wear clothes that fit.
4. SMILE
i think number 5 is the most important, though the other points ring true too
Such a well spoken video. This is a timeless reference for anyone no matter where they are in their fashion journey. 444
Love that you used Mandela🇿🇦

Yes, yes, YES to the physical well-being take!
I love all the tips man, also really love your style it’s really awesome relaxed and funky! Wish all the best in your fashion journey 👊🏽

For #4, no matter what you wear; people are going to cook you, but if you like it, wear it :)
Totally agree with you regarding the keep fit your clothes looks amazing when you wear them thanks for sharing 👏👏👏👍🇬🇧
Another youtuber said "if you buy clothes that fit you well, you'll find ways to wear them" and that totally changed how I shop
For me it was when I started looking at items that looked as if they were never touched in the shop. So many people go to the same pieces that they are attracted by ‘influencers’ but I seem to always get compliments on the ‘awkward’ and less sold items cause it’s unique and shows itself as different.
What are some fashion magazines & blogs you recommend? These pictures of fits you find are always super interesting & varied.
Great vid btw!

I dont even care that much about personal style content i just like hearing you talk

Loved! First time here. Subscribed. Your range is so REFRESHING.
I really like community. It's a great series!!
Thank you for solid advice as always, Drew. 444!
BLUE EYE SAMURAI is too good!
you're an amazing guy, keep up with the good work
I loved Blue Eyed Samurai! So cool you saw it too. And I recommend Arcane. Season 2 is coming out Nov 9th! So incredibly excited for this one. The art is genre-defining. Cannot recommend enough. 444
Next week make video about struggles as a tall person finding clothes and how to manage it
444 Definitely agree with #5.

Blue Eye Samurai is SO GOOD and Beef is fire too. You should definitely watch Atlanta and Entergalactic if you haven't already! #pvv

Especially you just started following new trends and cut copy pasted it into your wardrobe.
thank you for all your content and research 🙌 tuba avalon has a great new video on this topic as well
Shout-out fantastic Mr fox
444💜👊 another great video the more i see you rocking the trapper hat the more i wanna see if i cant fit it in my style somehow
It’s weird that I don’t really like Tyler the creators style but I like your style and perspective .
Hey I'm also 6'4" and also get sad about not fitting into Maharishi pants. What brands do you think have cool pants for taller people?
Aristotle and Naruto are the combo
Solid video, the ring is solid … 444
Bro had nowhere to go but up from that thumbnail 😅
Great vid, as always! Which brands did you come across recently that make trousers/jeans which fit you? Fellow 6ft444 guy here :D
Where is your sick red jumper from 🙏🏼😃
It is from Ralph Lauren x Naiomi Glasses collection
Great video! What brand is your jumper?
"judgement free-ness" > Freedom from judgement
444- we in this bish
Ppv Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix
Better than expected
You have to have confidence and wear the clothes..don't let the clothes wear you. There are so many people wearing all designer clothing and can not rock it. No "it" factor.
Step 1: live in a colder climate than before
thank u
What’s the inspo behind the offset collar appearance?
Also concur. Moving the body does wonders for the mental health, which in turns changes your perspective on things like appearance and style. General self-esteem boost.
W Drew video
beef is so good, you should add castlevania to the list if you want another animated show. #pvv
Love the ring. But I'm not too crazy about your outfit.
Not “Aristotle” 🫢
444 bop!
Tyler’s middle name is Tension. Tyler the Tension Creator lol
444….I was so into Blue Eye Samurai all the way through the episodes but sadly, the ending disappointed me. It felt like they just had to do it so they can have another season. *no spoilers
We need clothing websites
@drew joiner
The hate is 🔥
Your glow up better include a ghille suit and sniper veil...get with the times!
You should really watch The Anime NANA
1. Tyler the Creator is my style icon & I’m a woman, and not a young one either
2. LOVE the ☮️ ring!
3. 444
Isn't that an oxymoron of Rick Owens to say "Buy Less Clothes" and his profession/bottom line is to sell clothes.
glowing up is what happens when you no longer cringe at your old outfits
Damn this video was long overdue
Funny Hat Glow-up

We're just doing stuff too Drew, 444

style is dictated by what a lot you guys see on tik tok. trend followers. how repetitive. how boring.
#Pvv u should see Beef
Guy starts wearing a hat and thinks he knows something... He kinda does
#pvv I can highly recommend „Avatar The Last Airbender“ !! 444 🌪️
