It’s just way cooler to be yourself these days. Following trends is done but taking inspo from said trend and making it fit your personal style is rising
I love folks complaining about timbs being fashionable nowadays and saying it’s a work wear piece, yet they don’t even lace them up. But seriously if you’ve ever been into east coast rap you’d think they’ve always been that fashionable
Sambas are classic, Timbs are classic. They might become a trend and then get oversaturated amongst cool kids, but after that wave subsides they’re still classic. Thats what it means to be a classic. Maybe the people who think sambas are now cringe are the ones that jumped on the bandwagon the hardest in the first place?
Also kind of feel like thats whats unappealing to me about being into just plain “fashion” without any kind of lens or perspective on culture and community, such as you get from being in a subculture. The most interesting thing about clothes to me is they’re cultural markers of all these different groups of people, movements, scenes etc, and if you’re into THAT then you can combine different clothes from different scenes or reference points in a way thats interesting. Or just wear whatever the fuck you want, that also always wins.
I agree, those shoes those always be classics, same with uptowns/af1s and chucks.. I don't care how many people are wearing them it's about the legacy of the shoe and how you personally style them.
Facts. I feel like Jordan's also fall into this category. I love fashion. Have a college degree in fashion design... but you can tell by how I wear my Timbs and Jordan's that they're not trends to me. They're part of the culture I grew up with in NYC. They're part of my history. And that's why they will always be classics
I think it's safe to say that Timbs have been a staple for a lot of new yorkers for a long time now. I think it's incredibly oversaturated in 2024 now, but ever since I was in middle school 2013-2016 and definitely before then too, it was 'trendy' to wear timbs for fashion and not just for workwear.
Bruh Timbs have been popping since the early 90's. In New York and the rest of the East Coast. This is not new, it's just new to your generation. It was from oversaturated from 97 - 2005 when everybody had a fresh pair of timbs as soon as it got cold.
Wallet chains were big in 07-09. I used to wear the chain with my famous stars and straps shirt, all black vans and black skinny jeans. What a time lol
One trend I saw making waves, at least here in Europe during the summer, was cowboy boots with womenswear. I saw so many people in London and Barcelona rocking them
As someone that is into the alternative music scenes, the wallet chain as an accessory is actually really common in fashions that are associated with hard music. (Rock, metal, etc) Usually, in fact, if you get plaid pants for punk style it often will come with a matching chain attached to it. (Tripp NYC is a good example of this) So honestly I think that trend is probably bringing in some parts of pop punk with the 90s/00s revival
I just saw a video on instagram of footage from a camera that fell out of an airplane. At some point the camera was flipping so fast it synced up with the frame rate and just the video just looked weird, which I think is a really good analogy for how fashion trends feel right now to me-so fast, it’s not reality. I think that internet fashion content is sort of an echo chamber… algorithms feed you what you like over and over but it’s also unclear how many of these trends actually make it to real life for most people. I have been seeing content about looking for inspiration from not internet sources and I’ve been feeling that heavily influencing my own style since last year-Japanese movies from the late 50s and early 60s, wow!
I just think that workwear has become some form of luxury. In a way it is kind of dystopian. I've used workwear since always because it is durable and cheap in a sense. It is now that retail has amped up the prices. it's crazy and funny at the same time.
the underwear as outerwear trend often appeals to one body type (skinny, shorter torso'd/longer legged), which makes the boxer short variation more appealing for folks who want to participate. i do feel like miu miu fw23 (the show referenced a lot here for that trend) and the vibe it gave off fell into really great timing culturally, preceding barbie/barbiecore and after that "brat summer," which really plays off the similar "messy, party girl" attitude. really enjoyed the video, thanks for posting!
Been wearing the Nike SB Janoski OG and Nike SB GT Low in White/Gum. I grew up skateboarding and it’s a huge part of my identity, fashion, music choice, etc. So I always try to let that shine through with a street/skate wear aesthetic. Go to shoes, indefinitely
Black creatives like Tyler being influential is not surprising as culture loves to borrow from outsider communities. Lots of elements of hip hop fashion are co-opted but to get a different example the football boot/blokecore trend is very much so apeing English working class fashion. The (football) Casual aesthetic does have strong white working class connotations, but in places like London often Casuals were often quite diverse due to football being a common hobby in immigrant neighbourhood. The formal streetwear trend definitely pulls from Casual style as a lot of that style was dressing in (often stolen) designer jackets with straight leg jeans and adidas trainers for shoeing someone in at the Champions League Final.
well put. something I personally noticed in this video is many of the trends drew pointed out (underwear as outer wear, chains/carabiners, and boots with “non boot” clothing) have all been popular among queer people for decades. the “trend” happens when it’s finally adopted by the majority group
I also think the contrast in how that streetwear is presented is so interesting. For example, aspects of UK/football streetwear gained popularity within the U.S as early as 2019-2020 with more of a grime/football casual style with Nocta, Stone Island, Moose Knuckles, and Puma infiltrating trends mostly amongst suburban white kids as they were heavily influenced by Asap Rocky, who was basing himself with creatives in that space at the time and Skepta rose into Mainstream US consciousness with that wave of popularity. For the past 2 years, Black inner-city European streetwear has gained prominence globally, especially thanks to Corteiz and Nocta, but their influence outside the current trend of formal blokecore is slim in the United States but has completely taken over the European and Asian Market in addition to their grime style.

Just a heads up Drew, it’s not London when you’re talking about football (soccer) shoes, that’s Northern Quarter in Manchester. 1:51 I live right by it, it’s a cool neighbourhood in the north of England.
@@DrewJoiner All good bro - keep up the good work with videos, I always enjoy it. For what it’s worth, I think quite a few British cities go under the radar with fashion. Everything I hear is about London but Manchester has a lot going for it, especially in Northern Quarter, Ancoats, Chorlton etc and I’ve always liked the fashion conscious people and subcultures in places like Bristol, Glasgow, Brighton etc. Chanel held their fashion show last year in the Northern Quarter in Manchester.
@@DrewJoiner Completely disagree, growing up in England everyone would wear football boots to school and that was the heat back then, and the resurgence isn't unique to Manchester at all. Secondly sambas etc have been a part of football ultra culture in england and the continent to a lesser extent for decades. (edit: those kids turning them into loafers isn't something I've seen and is in Manny yeah, and its dope)
this was a fantastic video, your commentary is so insightful and got me reflecting my own fashion choices this year (and how lowkey not original i am lmao). on ur point of wallet chains, i personally have recently seen them in the alternative context. i remember during COVID when the E-boy/girl trend was at its height, fake wallet chains were everywhere, esp on tik tok. perhaps this maybe driving the more decorative aspect to them? I also have seen it in context of chicano street wear, usually paired with 3/4 baggy pants (another trend i’ve been seeing get really popular this year, esp at my art school). anyways great video, can’t wait to see more!
na i agree heavy on your point abt sneakers. timbs, gats and sambas r mad trendy, and they got pretty basic silhouettes. no one really wears 11's, or shoes that are really flashy. people are shying away from having their shoes as the statement piece, but rather focus on shoes being something to tie the outfit all together, which timbs, sambas, gats, etc do very well.
I'm a first time viewer, and I really want to compliment you on this video. You gave perspectives in so many different trends, which made it really good. But something I thought really elevated your video, was your opinitions on the different trends, and how you were open to admit that your view on them might change over time. I often feel that most people on the internet, feel they are bound to one comment they made abt something, and can't change it again. So kudos for you, for making a entertaining video, where you shared you opinions and knowledge in a very good way. And really love your vibe 😊🙌🙌
@@HiiipowerHabits yeah, but also kind of heartwarming how we reconcile with certain aesthetics. Back in my day, wallet chains were seen as synonymous with cholos, white trash, ghettos. Bad news. My high school principal actually menaced with with expelling me if I didn’t remove my chain. That was back in… 1999 I believe. Fast forward to around 2005 onwards I was cringely remembering that chain and wallet. That wallet! It was a monster, big, fat, black leather with an iridescent skull on fire. Now I remember that wallet fondly for being a totally representative artifact of those times. And as a middle aged man, today, it’s quite interesting to see how my students are reappropriating those styles in ways that are really interesting.
I wish you’d also mentioned ‘Challengers’ because I think that the movie produced a lot of trends and hype around the actors’ styles and the sport of tennis, propelling tennis deep enough in the fashion world that we were seeing influencers at Wimbledon!
Thanks for sharing your insight. I think you are one of the best fashion youtuber i’ve ever seen before. Cheer from Korea. Korean fashion lovers would love your video too.
I think a lot of the Timbs “hate” is surrounding the advent idea of mainly white middle class people “discovering” a trend that had already been around for years in black and urban spaces, and often were demonized or frowned upon when they were only in those initial spaces.
One of the best vids you ever made man Love your fashion content and will continue to watch your content as long as it exists You’re what I consider to be a fashionable person
my "trend" is dad hats. i got one primarily for the sun, but i realised that for me... it is a very functional piece, i wear it all the time. protects me from the sun when waiting for a bus on my way to work, stops my glasses getting totally covered when it's raining, stops my (very) long hair getting picked up by the wind... yeah.
I'd be super interested in seeing your thoughts on the new wave of streetwear/athleisure. I'm definitely feeling the more "elevated" vibe right now, considering that streetwear started as kind of a middle finger to the high-collar suits and skirts of the upper/upper middle class.
Great vid bro! I think we are still in a quick pace with fashion trends, everything moves pretty quick. BTW, when's the Switzerland trip? Can't wait for the vlog.
Hi Drew, great vid as always! PVV crew here. I’m a runner (three years going strong, CPH Half Marathon coming up woop) and I’m super curious to hear more about your opinion on where the athletic/performance wear style/fashion is going? I’m a HOKA girl and also been investing in SATISFY Running. SATISFY price points are high but so is the quality and aesthetic IMO. Also, Copenhagen is riddled with running clubs, especially our bakeries/coffee places. Another one is biking (bought a gravel bike this year, so much fun) and brands like Pas Normal Studios. I would love your take on it/a deeper dive. Thanks!
I feel like formal streetwear is a reflection of this post-hip hop era where hip-hop's been replaced with dance pop as the #1 dominant pop music format. Five years ago I thought we'd never again see guys wearing blazer-style outerwear unless they were Sartorial types. Now I'm convinced we're going to see neckties come back in 2025
One thing i like about 2024 is that it seems like the fashion trend is there isn’t really one like its not a particular style like we’ve seen in the past now its all about finding your own style and dressing however you want
such a good video! a thought: could the resurgence of a more extreme underwear as clothing trend have anything to do with 00's skinny being in again? i feel like the body is apart of the accessory. ig you could say it always has been though. and i do believe that trends have slowed down a bit. there was a lot of discourse around "cores" and people starting to look the same. it's really exciting that people are becoming inspired again and adding personality to their fits, hopefully it inspires people to wear what they want! :)
Underwear as an accessory is kinda tuff cuz people been using it as a way to layer when sagging for ages but yuh I think using boxers etc as functional visual space works especially if your trying to balance color
wallet chains aren't functional anymore because the nature/form of wallets have changed, a lot of people don't have bulky wallets with chain clips anymore and have slimmer cardholders, or in some instances, your phone is just your wallet
I AM NOT WITH THE BRAT TREND AT ALLLLL maybe it just feel too juvenile and trashy for me but i cant be the only one that was not with this trend AT ALL FAM😭😭
I’ve always pushed back against sneaker fashion. I have my chucks that I’ll break out every week or so, but cowboy or Chelsea or heritage boots are my every day shoe.
Two things: 1. Edie Sedgwick invented the “underwear as pants” trend in the mid 60s. She put a shirt and jacket over her leotard and tights, running around New York after jazz ballet classes. The style originated in function. There have been resurgences every decade since then. Most notably when the biopic Factory Girl came out in 2007 moving into the indie sleaze era, which had lots of mod influences. 2. Carabiners are a huge and historical part of queer culture, specifically lesbian culture. It was and still is a way to signal other queer women and communicate their preferences (like which side a guy wears one earring). They’re functional for the subculture but for other people it’s a “trend”
Not surprised you saw the keychain trend in Japan! Keychains and itabags are a big thing in j-fashion and harajuku fashion (ex decora) + both are a big thing in the anime/manga community and have been so for many years! I wouldn't be surprised if the current bag chain trend has its roots in j-fashion and the anime community honestly 😊
I’m still wearing sneakers in 2024,never gonna go out of style for me my purchases always start a conversation where I’m at and I just have a small niche collection with only 2-3 hype shoes
Wallet chains were “in” during the ‘90s and 2000s so maybe they’re just emulating the same style before, since late ‘90s-Y2k fashion is trending right now. Gen X here lol.
As someone who grew up in the 90s/2000s I love the y2k era. It might seem a lil weird seeing the younger generation reviving the trend but I support it.
Tyler is very interesting..I have always thought of his style as singular and completely his own, even though people still flock to Golf on Fairfax. What's cool about him Is, even though he and I dress totally different, I feel inspired by his choices and attention to detail.
No one asked, but here are my comments on a couple of things mentioned in the video: 1. Personally think other footwear beats sneakers in personal style and being fashionable, and yeah I have fully ditched sneakers, except when running. 2. Timbs are sick, but worn by so many people now that it has less personal style than ever. 3. Flats are nice, especially for the stinking hot summer days. 4. High calf boots are also worn by many, but there are a million variants, and as you said; it is easy to personalize. Sick trend. 5. Underwear as outerwear, just makes sense for hot summer days. It's basicly just short shorts. 6. "Wallet chains" can be functional, but these days it's just another way to add another detail, pretty sick. I personally use it for my pocket watch lol. 7. Personally didn't follow the olympics what so ever haha, but those fits are nice. 8. Brat was ok fashion whise, nothing special though imo. 9. Tyler the Creator fashion has only gotten better. Excited to see his future work. 10. Bag charms are fire, love the personalization of otherwhise blank bags. 11. Grillz are sick. An accessory many people aren't using, which makes it even better. 12. Red as a pop of color, gotta be one of my favorite trends in a while. Shoes and bags especially can make an outfit x2 better. 13. Pleated dress shorts are pretty cool. Dressing up while not dying of heatstroke. 14. Formal streetwear is great, but thats also bc I heavily fw formality. 15. Western moment was fantastic. Can't really ever get enough of that aesthetic. 16. Maximalist accessories is fire, but can be too much sometimes, mostly its only positive though.
i have mixed opinions on the underwear as outerwear - ive seen loads of people start wearing the gingham style bloomers and i absolutely hate it, i i js think it looks too flashy and doesnt go w pieces and also they never fit right because of the material and dont make a nice silhouette , but i am in love the frilly lace bloomers that people have been wearing because it looks so soft and dainty and works with a lot of pieces because its js one solid colour + pair rlly well with high socks or boots and fits everyones bodies perfectly because it a such a stretchy and airy material
I feel like the best trend is the personal style trend. Tbh, not everything in the zeitgeist will be for you so why pretend. However, doing the work to find out what deeply resonates with you fashion wise is so amazing because as Helen Bonam Carter said "I think everything in life is art, how talk, how you dress...." so you might as well make it into a painting that even if no one appreciates, you do.
Watching such videos always makes me feel like I see a commentary on the present from the future. I say this since where I live (Denmark) most people (besides from Copenhagen) only adapt these trends approximately. 1/2 a year to a year after they have peaked online and in fashion communities. Am I the only one that gets the same?
Regarding the sneaker trend: I see adidas campus 2000s literally EVERYWHERE. I have them myself. They seem classic and nostalgic such as the samba etc. but they have a very different vibe imo. I live in Austria btw. So maybe it’s just a thing here. Loved the video btw! Keep up the great work 🫶🏽
i bought sambas in 2023, and ive been wearing them since, but also i didnt buy a basic color so theyre still visually interesting to wear... other than that ive bought gorpcore silver gray salomons and i think theyre gonna be quite trendy soon
I don't think fashion trends have slowed down but I definitely think that the general opinion on trends is changing, people will be most likely to point out and criticise when someone is following a trend and I don't really know if it's for the better. Having a personal style and wearing what feels right will forever be the best thing to do but trends still have a big impact on fashion especially for people trying to find who they are through their style !
i don't know how old my guy is, but it seems like some of these "Trends" he's remarking on are just him growing, learning and seeing more of the world. I don't say this to be dismissive, it just feels like some of the things he's observing as trends are actually he and his peers maturing.
Omg one of the pics you used when tlking about atlanta streetwear was my friend in high-school. And your correct i feel like Atl is the mecca of streetwear and it has a signature look tht unique to here-im from atl so id no.
100% agree with you on wallet chains, in LA it’s so egregious, guys just have like 9 chains hanging from their waists, 9/10 times it’s paired with a bb Simon style belt, it’s so just too much honestly 😅
A lot of people rewatched Sex & The City this year so I feel like that had a lot of influence on fashion this year for women. I think this fall the Twilight look will come in again... at least thats the vibe I will be redoing... :P
I also feel that 2024 is the year of the sheer Outfit. I know it started in 2023 but I goes on still. Ties in with the mesh ballerina but we can also see it in other clothing and I personally feel like its such an interesting way to add texture to an outfit and go on the next level in terms of layering. Many ppl shy away because they fear the see through material but it is honestly so versatile and can look awesome on top of an already existing more casual outfit.
I work in retail and On Cloud is about to be huger than ever for real. Right now it's mostly the older generations catching up to the hype but soon enough everyone is going to be looking for some Ons😂❤
It’s just way cooler to be yourself these days. Following trends is done but taking inspo from said trend and making it fit your personal style is rising
following trends is definitely not done especially with highschoolers

I often feel that most people on the internet, feel they are bound to one comment they made abt something, and can't change it again. So kudos for you, for making a entertaining video, where you shared you opinions and knowledge in a very good way. And really love your vibe 😊🙌🙌
Wallet chain trend returns from the mid and late 2000s when Ed Hardy and Affliction brands were in for the mainstream
They also were heavily used late 90s
@@LuisMercadoorg facts its funny how "new things" are just retro themes
@@HiiipowerHabits yeah, but also kind of heartwarming how we reconcile with certain aesthetics. Back in my day, wallet chains were seen as synonymous with cholos, white trash, ghettos. Bad news.
My high school principal actually menaced with with expelling me if I didn’t remove my chain. That was back in… 1999 I believe.
Fast forward to around 2005 onwards I was cringely remembering that chain and wallet. That wallet! It was a monster, big, fat, black leather with an iridescent skull on fire. Now I remember that wallet fondly for being a totally representative artifact of those times.
And as a middle aged man, today, it’s quite interesting to see how my students are reappropriating those styles in ways that are really interesting.
Right? I was like “how old is Drew”? 🤔 because he didn’t mention that
which also returns from 2018 from the whole "eboy" aesthetic
Drew always manages to perfectly encapsulate things in the fashion scene that I can't explain. Like its in my brain but not in words.
I wish you’d also mentioned ‘Challengers’ because I think that the movie produced a lot of trends and hype around the actors’ styles and the sport of tennis, propelling tennis deep enough in the fashion world that we were seeing influencers at Wimbledon!
Suchhhhhh a good video Drew, loved it!
30 min plus Drew video?
Hell yeah!
by far the best fashion channel on yt, thanks Drew for another amazing video
I'm here for formal streetwear. Loving it.
About the wallet chins: This is a long trend in the Punk scene and as usual the trend gets adapted by the wanting to rebel yougth streetwear scene
Thanks for sharing your insight. I think you are one of the best fashion youtuber i’ve ever seen before.
Cheer from Korea. Korean fashion lovers would love your video too.
I wonder if part of the rise of running clubs has to do with the search for cheap or free third spaces
Yes!! An in depth video about the streetwear landscape right now/how it’s shifted over time would be great.
I’m not part of any of these cultures but it’s great that you’re providing a window into them, thanks!
I think a lot of the Timbs “hate” is surrounding the advent idea of mainly white middle class people “discovering” a trend that had already been around for years in black and urban spaces, and often were demonized or frowned upon when they were only in those initial spaces.
its always a good day when drew drops a new video
One of the best vids you ever made man
Love your fashion content and will continue to watch your content as long as it exists
You’re what I consider to be a fashionable person
my "trend" is dad hats. i got one primarily for the sun, but i realised that for me... it is a very functional piece, i wear it all the time. protects me from the sun when waiting for a bus on my way to work, stops my glasses getting totally covered when it's raining, stops my (very) long hair getting picked up by the wind... yeah.
Thank you for including women's fashion too, I always loved to watch your videos, but now it's even more reliable :)
I'd be super interested in seeing your thoughts on the new wave of streetwear/athleisure. I'm definitely feeling the more "elevated" vibe right now, considering that streetwear started as kind of a middle finger to the high-collar suits and skirts of the upper/upper middle class.
Great vid bro! I think we are still in a quick pace with fashion trends, everything moves pretty quick. BTW, when's the Switzerland trip? Can't wait for the vlog.
Soon!!🇨🇭 thank you bro
Hi Drew, great vid as always! PVV crew here.
I’m a runner (three years going strong, CPH Half Marathon coming up woop) and I’m super curious to hear more about your opinion on where the athletic/performance wear style/fashion is going?
I’m a HOKA girl and also been investing in SATISFY Running. SATISFY price points are high but so is the quality and aesthetic IMO.
Also, Copenhagen is riddled with running clubs, especially our bakeries/coffee places.
Another one is biking (bought a gravel bike this year, so much fun) and brands like Pas Normal Studios.
I would love your take on it/a deeper dive. Thanks!
I like the porco rosso wallpaper. A man of culture indeed
Im all in for formal streetwear 🤝🏼
1:45 i swear my mom has had those shoes for years and she loves them sm
I feel like formal streetwear is a reflection of this post-hip hop era where hip-hop's been replaced with dance pop as the #1 dominant pop music format. Five years ago I thought we'd never again see guys wearing blazer-style outerwear unless they were Sartorial types. Now I'm convinced we're going to see neckties come back in 2025
One thing i like about 2024 is that it seems like the fashion trend is there isn’t really one like its not a particular style like we’ve seen in the past now its all about finding your own style and dressing however you want
such a good video! a thought: could the resurgence of a more extreme underwear as clothing trend have anything to do with 00's skinny being in again? i feel like the body is apart of the accessory. ig you could say it always has been though. and i do believe that trends have slowed down a bit. there was a lot of discourse around "cores" and people starting to look the same. it's really exciting that people are becoming inspired again and adding personality to their fits, hopefully it inspires people to wear what they want! :)
Oh dear, so many trends from when I was a teenager/ in my twenties 😅 The boots, the wallet chains...I rocked both though 😌
yesss talk in more detail about formal streetwear!!!!!
Underwear as an accessory is kinda tuff cuz people been using it as a way to layer when sagging for ages but yuh I think using boxers etc as functional visual space works especially if your trying to balance color
Bro I live in Minnesota
every year we break out the timb boots & carhartt jackets to stay warm & fashionable. Pair of wheats & all blks are mandatory
I'm completely out of the loop in terms of fashion but when you mentioned on cloud I recognised the brand because all my runner friends love them lmao
wallet chains aren't functional anymore because the nature/form of wallets have changed, a lot of people don't have bulky wallets with chain clips anymore and have slimmer cardholders, or in some instances, your phone is just your wallet
Great Video Drew! Keep it up🔥
Love this video - amazingly researched and you did a great job. I can see Saucony getting big this year too.
I AM NOT WITH THE BRAT TREND AT ALLLLL maybe it just feel too juvenile and trashy for me but i cant be the only one that was not with this trend AT ALL FAM😭😭
You must be old
@@kiwimike2330or they aren’t a kid
I’ve always pushed back against sneaker fashion. I have my chucks that I’ll break out every week or so, but cowboy or Chelsea or heritage boots are my every day shoe.
22:50 I'm looking formal to Formal Streetwear trend... hopefully Drew could make a whole new video about this trend
Love how the rest of the world is finally catching up to Japans/East Asias keychain and plushie on your bag thing. It’s looks so fun.
Two things:
1. Edie Sedgwick invented the “underwear as pants” trend in the mid 60s. She put a shirt and jacket over her leotard and tights, running around New York after jazz ballet classes. The style originated in function. There have been resurgences every decade since then. Most notably when the biopic Factory Girl came out in 2007 moving into the indie sleaze era, which had lots of mod influences.
2. Carabiners are a huge and historical part of queer culture, specifically lesbian culture. It was and still is a way to signal other queer women and communicate their preferences (like which side a guy wears one earring). They’re functional for the subculture but for other people it’s a “trend”
The brown miu mius sneakers look insane
Not surprised you saw the keychain trend in Japan! Keychains and itabags are a big thing in j-fashion and harajuku fashion (ex decora) + both are a big thing in the anime/manga community and have been so for many years! I wouldn't be surprised if the current bag chain trend has its roots in j-fashion and the anime community honestly 😊
I’m still wearing sneakers in 2024,never gonna go out of style for me my purchases always start a conversation where I’m at and I just have a small niche collection with only 2-3 hype shoes
brat was such a forced trend
I loved it as a charli xcx fan from before but I was thinking do all these people really like her bc the genre was so niche and “weird”
It was necessary and it was the effect that we're seeing since Sophie has passed. RIP
Although I can see why you see that, it put me off a little when people were just following the trend when she has always put out great albums
As a car enthusiast the samba, and speedcat shoes are both top picks for me. excellent driving shoes while still being comfortable as a daily wear.
Wallet chains were “in” during the ‘90s and 2000s so maybe they’re just emulating the same style before, since late ‘90s-Y2k fashion is trending right now. Gen X here lol.
attack the idea not the individual
💯💯 well said
Formal streetwear sounds interesting, I'd like to hear more about it
i used to wear wallet chains in the 90s and love to see it back. it’s a cool accessory
Drew the vibram sole on the football shoes is so hard 😭 I love that look
As someone who grew up in the 90s/2000s I love the y2k era. It might seem a lil weird seeing the younger generation reviving the trend but I support it.
Tyler is very interesting..I have always thought of his style as singular and completely his own, even though people still flock to Golf on Fairfax. What's cool about him Is, even though he and I dress totally different, I feel inspired by his choices and attention to detail.
No one asked, but here are my comments on a couple of things mentioned in the video:
1. Personally think other footwear beats sneakers in personal style and being fashionable, and yeah I have fully ditched sneakers, except when running.
2. Timbs are sick, but worn by so many people now that it has less personal style than ever.
3. Flats are nice, especially for the stinking hot summer days.
4. High calf boots are also worn by many, but there are a million variants, and as you said; it is easy to personalize. Sick trend.
5. Underwear as outerwear, just makes sense for hot summer days. It's basicly just short shorts.
6. "Wallet chains" can be functional, but these days it's just another way to add another detail, pretty sick. I personally use it for my pocket watch lol.
7. Personally didn't follow the olympics what so ever haha, but those fits are nice.
8. Brat was ok fashion whise, nothing special though imo.
9. Tyler the Creator fashion has only gotten better. Excited to see his future work.
10. Bag charms are fire, love the personalization of otherwhise blank bags.
11. Grillz are sick. An accessory many people aren't using, which makes it even better.
12. Red as a pop of color, gotta be one of my favorite trends in a while. Shoes and bags especially can make an outfit x2 better.
13. Pleated dress shorts are pretty cool. Dressing up while not dying of heatstroke.
14. Formal streetwear is great, but thats also bc I heavily fw formality.
15. Western moment was fantastic. Can't really ever get enough of that aesthetic.
16. Maximalist accessories is fire, but can be too much sometimes, mostly its only positive though.
Thank you for your opinionsss!!
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
i have mixed opinions on the underwear as outerwear - ive seen loads of people start wearing the gingham style bloomers and i absolutely hate it, i i js think it looks too flashy and doesnt go w pieces and also they never fit right because of the material and dont make a nice silhouette , but i am in love the frilly lace bloomers that people have been wearing because it looks so soft and dainty and works with a lot of pieces because its js one solid colour + pair rlly well with high socks or boots and fits everyones bodies perfectly because it a such a stretchy and airy material
Agreed
What about Salomon shoes? Is it only a Europe thing?
I feel like the best trend is the personal style trend. Tbh, not everything in the zeitgeist will be for you so why pretend. However, doing the work to find out what deeply resonates with you fashion wise is so amazing because as Helen Bonam Carter said "I think everything in life is art, how talk, how you dress...." so you might as well make it into a painting that even if no one appreciates, you do.
Watching such videos always makes me feel like I see a commentary on the present from the future. I say this since where I live (Denmark) most people (besides from Copenhagen) only adapt these trends approximately. 1/2 a year to a year after they have peaked online and in fashion communities. Am I the only one that gets the same?
Regarding the sneaker trend: I see adidas campus 2000s literally EVERYWHERE. I have them myself. They seem classic and nostalgic such as the samba etc. but they have a very different vibe imo. I live in Austria btw. So maybe it’s just a thing here. Loved the video btw! Keep up the great work 🫶🏽
i bought sambas in 2023, and ive been wearing them since, but also i didnt buy a basic color so theyre still visually interesting to wear... other than that ive bought gorpcore silver gray salomons and i think theyre gonna be quite trendy soon
I don't think fashion trends have slowed down but I definitely think that the general opinion on trends is changing, people will be most likely to point out and criticise when someone is following a trend and I don't really know if it's for the better. Having a personal style and wearing what feels right will forever be the best thing to do but trends still have a big impact on fashion especially for people trying to find who they are through their style !
i don't know how old my guy is, but it seems like some of these "Trends" he's remarking on are just him growing, learning and seeing more of the world. I don't say this to be dismissive, it just feels like some of the things he's observing as trends are actually he and his peers maturing.
@DrewJoiner-1 i don't know if woon is insulting or complimentary 😅, but either way i love your stuff and hope my ish didn't come across wrong
Omg one of the pics you used when tlking about atlanta streetwear was my friend in high-school. And your correct i feel like Atl is the mecca of streetwear and it has a signature look tht unique to here-im from atl so id no.
Very informative video, Drew. Thanks
My go to sneaker has been the green/creme Tretorn Rawlins. They have the same-ish look to the Onitsuka Tiger but for wayyy cheaper lol.
100% agree with you on wallet chains, in LA it’s so egregious, guys just have like 9 chains hanging from their waists, 9/10 times it’s paired with a bb Simon style belt, it’s so just too much honestly 😅
ON has already done it, The cloud 5s are up next
I've noticed high waisted trousers coming back, with pleats. Seen a few celebrities rocking them
@DrewJoiner-1 What does he win, Bob!?
A lot of people rewatched Sex & The City this year so I feel like that had a lot of influence on fashion this year for women. I think this fall the Twilight look will come in again... at least thats the vibe I will be redoing... :P
Second: Secondary
Third: Tertiary
Rocking the jordan 11 high cut..specifically the legend blue
I also feel that 2024 is the year of the sheer Outfit. I know it started in 2023 but I goes on still. Ties in with the mesh ballerina but we can also see it in other clothing and I personally feel like its such an interesting way to add texture to an outfit and go on the next level in terms of layering. Many ppl shy away because they fear the see through material but it is honestly so versatile and can look awesome on top of an already existing more casual outfit.
8:26 okay coolest skirt I've seen for a long ass time
That's made outta ties bro
I work in retail and On Cloud is about to be huger than ever for real. Right now it's mostly the older generations catching up to the hype but soon enough everyone is going to be looking for some Ons😂❤
