Frugal Aesthetic video formula: Hey you're stupid (plays trick on audience) here's why fashion is so hard here's why fashion is so easy even the most fashionable people don't know what they are doing what is fashion nobody is gonna get fashion right so what do I really know fin. and I eat up every second of it
It's not the formula that makes him so successful at this though, it's the actual deep understanding he has of it and how he combines it with his humor. Like that lego to designer comparison was crazy and even with the formula 90% of us would never be able to think of doing something like that. inb4 🤓🤓 cant hit me with that if i hit myself with it first
My fave things about the Rick Owens shoes is that people wear them thinking everyone will know they're $400 but unless people know the brand (which is a very small population) they think you're wearing the Payless brand Converse
That’s the point though. They’re purposefully communicating only to a specific few, while taking the risk of letting others think they’re lame. Fashioning identity is all about ambivalence.
2019: lets talk about some cool clothes and cool sneakers and why we like them 2023: we are all in a simulation our brains are being programmed and fashion is the answer
*me watching frugal aesthetic videos like I'm interested in fashion* meanwhile my fashion sense is: jorts, cargos, band tees and the same hoodie I've been wearing almost every day for 3 years
Hey I'm actually going to write an undergraduate study about self-fashioning practices as class-based consumption. This video provides a great overview!
Do you think if i put in my psychology exam next week that Maslows hierarchy is often criticised for not taking into account the Rick Owens they’ll accept that as an answer.
This explains why when I’m a little stressed, annoyed or bothered- when I’m in my room cleaning, fixing or folding clothes I feel at peace. I’m in control and I’m getting things done by accomplishing small tasks. Crazy to understand the behavioral science behind jt
I feel like your financial status/wealth ist still the number 1. reason why companies like LVMH are so successfull. Yeah, there are no more rules about who is allowed to wear a prada-bag or some owens-shoes but the price still makes these objects unobtainable for 80% of the world and that is exactly the reason why people buy it, despite being soo overprized: they want to be seen as a part of the people who have the financial status to buy something expensive.
I think that curiosity stems from trying to understand who and what we are, but we have nothing to ground ourselves so we use fashion to understand where we are relative to each other since that is an easy first step.
Yo Christian i would love a series that’s like the basics of fashion that goes over colors, accessorizing, proportions, and common fashion terminology and important designers to know about that just will kind of be a good place to start for people new to fashion and it could show why we should trust you as a source in the community
what i got from this video: rich ppl will soon revert back to togas powder wigs and tights and so on as an attempt to further separate themselves from us
Christian was just waffling for 13 minutes about how we process clothes in our brain without actually having a logical point feels like an average conversation with the boys on a random afternoon
At first, I thought you were wearing a spoof shirt that said "grow up." Then I realized I was wrong and became vaguely disappointed. But how fitting for the topic! 😂
hey frugal love you! Could you make more womans fashion videos? Its hard for me to apply a lot of what I learn from the videos without feminine visuals.
I feel like once u get into fashion u are all worried ab it, then u realize it's just crazy and calm down, while simultaneously progressing, that leads into further worries, and then boom, all philosophical again, that's just my take on my fashion journey so far 🤷
(the Ramones dilemma) you made a good point when using the word value, we live in a pyramid sceemed value system so it comes natural to as as animals trying to survive to unconsciously try to rise towards the top. its the whole concept of value (something must be more than) this effects every individual especially those with access to the internet and has many effects on the human psyche the Ramones effect potentially beaing one of them. also i love you're vidios
8:50 tbh, I think instead of spending so much mental energy on grinding and trying to get the best deal, hunting for pieces, etc., people better funnel the whole effort into getting more money, and than just buying full retail.
I have a problem with dreaming addiction. Im at the point where after waking up i can go back to a concious dream for like a 2 hours. Lastly im learning to fly at night in my dreams and then going to fictional places which are created on basics of my aesthetic. So when im woken up i like to create fits that represents these lovely places from my dreams. Thats why im Into fashOOn.
Well my take on this is that fashion is actual dark magic you put a symbol on something then it becomes a holy relic with a LOT of power. Also the elite really dropped the ball on fashion royals look like bankers, everyone looks like a banker I mean outstanding drip should be their last remaining privilege.
Seeing a lot of bad takes on the video on here… that’s too bad, because I think it’s really well executed and so goddamn interesting. Good Job Christian! Keep making the videos for those of us who are curious.
it's easy the unnecessary has higher profit margins on the amount that they sell, massive margins even. so they just make such a profit off of the product they move that they have to sell a lot fewer to out earn a company selling bottled water or even tap water, since the water companies have such small margins.

It works tho.

Some of his vids be jus well edited rambling but hey I fw Christian I’m here for it ..
Facts
Y’all, companies are straight up trying to sell us pieces of wood dipped in perfume now.
and have been for quite some time.
that still got nothing on the balenciaga trash bag
There's a market for anything if you find the right audience. People literally pay to see other people's feet...
Girl do you remember le renaissance
and I want to buy it
every time i finish a frugal aesthetic video, i become more enlightened but i also end up hating myself more than i did 13 minutes and 16 seconds ago
Yeesh
Wait, so if fashion is a social experiment : Where is my remote to blow up the other boat? And by boat I mean people I don't like.

You have ascended. You’re timeless, utilitarian and trend immune.
You can be interested in fashion without falling into consumerism/materialism
are you expecting to be praised or roasted I can't tell
W
I can relate im wearing dickies band shirts and the same military jacket i got for four dollars 2years ago
Fashion is just one end of the spectrum convincing us that it’s better or more beneficial to you than the other end of the spectrum, in clothing form
Probably the only channel I don’t skip ads on
Lmao ive never even noticed that, but its true
This channel made me buy TH-cam premium to skip all ads 😂
I did :)
internet comment etiquette has the best adds
these videos have become so philosophical to the point i dont even understand them anymore
i live them tho
Foucault kinda helped me understand this (or the other way around?)
I love your presentation style and way of speaking so much man. Big respect for all the work that goes into editing these videos bc they slap!!

Do your thing, king. All the best. Like three years ago, I used one of his videos for a paper I wrote on globalization and fast fashion.

What friends?

Love this video man! The power of perception is real!

Word. Shout out to Fred Again, blasting it so my neighbors can hear it cuz i want to feel something. Coachella set was insane.
this guy never misses
not enough drain gang references in these videos when there should've been
When the fashion endgame is actually just philosophy🧍♂️
haha i can see that
hey frugal love you! Could you make more womans fashion videos? Its hard for me to apply a lot of what I learn from the videos without feminine visuals.
REALL
Converse chuck taylors walked so that Rick Ramones could run
Black chucks were the felon shoe when AF1 were still zygotes
Watched this in the shower and this man caught me in 4k in the first 15 seconds

Meanwhile there is a fit God out in Japan that really is just a homeless person.
this is why i walk around clothless
being drunk at 2am means I didn't even notice the supreme hoodie chrischin was talkin bout till he mentioned it
Christian got too far into fashion that he got distanced from fashion

Thanks bro...I was so stressed out but it all makes sense now
@@Roars0me YOU'RE WELCOME
So meta!
This video needs to be in every Fashion 101 course!!! Well done!!! I love this video!!
The arc’teryx line floored me🤣 climbers???!
funny af everytime but informative tbh
bionicles are actually fire tho
Companies straight up recycling homeless people clothes and calling it eco-friendly and people eating it up 😂

yeah i love youre vidios you got the point😋
Bro the supreme hoodie example was literally so perfect
It is though. It's just one of the ways that we socialize
Me who didnt even see the supreme logo
Christian: that's crazy - I COULD just end the video right here
Me: Nah, you won-
Christian: *ends video*
Me: 👁👄👁
8:50 tbh, I think instead of spending so much mental energy on grinding and trying to get the best deal, hunting for pieces, etc., people better funnel the whole effort into getting more money, and than just buying full retail.
So no one's gonna talk about how he ended the video? I didn't see it coming. 😂
I don't know what are the goals of his videos, but at the end of his videos I frequently feel bad about my clothes and personality 😂😅
This dude uses wojacks dont take anything he says seriously
Bro I didn’t even realize he was wearing supreme til he pointed it out
Same 😂

This vid definitely speaks of “I got this sponsor but I ain’t got a video”
fashion is just jealousy. everybodys always trying to look better, cleaner, grungier, richer, poorer, etc...
this is more confusing than a lynch film
Reject social Standards, Go Back to the roots, Go naked to your next Job interview
I didnt even realize its a supreme hoodie untill you pointed that out.
That supreme thing didn't trigger any neurons for me at all, because I am just a tourist passing through.
I hadn't noticed "SUPREME" until you pointed out!
Dawg I rewarched your videos an hour ago and now you upload a new one?!! YEAAAH
Ye as the bionicle was wild 😂😂😂
If the king thinks I’m not gonna drip harder than him he insane
The bionicles joke is funny because they saved the Lego company back in the day
Christian has been unhinged lately, and im here for it
FRUGAL AESTHETIC your the gaot ,and I love your content have been watching for a while😅
RAF stressed TF out is me narrowing down all the tabs with things I want to buy! ☠️☠️☠️
the le labo santal 26 candle was the funniest joke i’ve heard this year
video summary: Ralph is stressed out.
no he is curious

Well my take on this is that fashion is actual dark magic you put a symbol on something then it becomes a holy relic with a LOT of power.

Boy u is funny asl and goated fa this video everybody else got the same videos wit a diff channel name u the one 🎉
So you didn’t get me with the Egypt thing, but I’m watching this video as I build a Lego Porsche 911😅😅😅
“ a necessity to human life” sees the Lego logo… no no that check out
Seeing a lot of bad takes on the video on here… that’s too bad, because I think it’s really well executed and so goddamn interesting. Good Job Christian! Keep making the videos for those of us who are curious.
Are you going to elaborate or...?
I think we use fashion to differenciate ourselves because we deeply know that we all look the same as humans
I STOPPED THINKING A LONG TIME AGO 🔥🔥🔥🔥
it's easy the unnecessary has higher profit margins on the amount that they sell, massive margins even. so they just make such a profit off of the product they move that they have to sell a lot fewer to out earn a company selling bottled water or even tap water, since the water companies have such small margins.
least schizophrenic frugal aesthetic video:
mfs before internet had plato and socrates, now we have vans at the met gala talking while wearing a mickey mouse hat
There were laws that you could not drip harder than some people XDDD
Great video, thank god i found this channel
this one had me in tears frfr 😂
christian is like when heath ledger joker starts to ramble
Sick, was just binge watching your videos
I didn’t notice your hoodie till you said it was a supreme hoodie. I was looking at yours eyes 🤓
just another comedic masterpiece, nothing more to it.
that raf video is so funny 😭
as psych major he was explaining schemas and prototypes. he do be speaking facts .
