#Fashiontrends #Timelessfashion - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
![บุษบา - เมนทอล [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IGnWPokSEis/mqdefault.jpg)
Finding the right balance between timeless and trendy pieces is the move. Timeless pieces carry you through the changing fashion scene without going broke, but trendy pieces keep things interesting and fun. You don’t want to over index on either, but great fits usually have elements of both.
Yea exactly, some rich people wear only trendy, and it looks very off, some tiktokers do this as well
@@danielfhima6073 For sure. I think a person needs to bring a “piece of themselves” to an outfit, otherwise it feels aesthetic, but lifeless.
Well said brother
100%
I agree. Like Adding you trendy fashion pieces to your timeless salvage denim!
Utility = Timeless. Workwear and formalwear mostly. I feel timelessness focuses more on silhouettes rather than branding unless they are culturally synonymous ie. Levi’s and jeans
absolutely agree with your point about silhouettes. this is the most important aspect to me now when I think of the framework of my fashion choices going forward. so much that I’d pick the same white Uniqlo U tee with the cut that fits perfectly to my liking over any other top in my wardrobe any day
maybe because “timelessness” in fashion coincides with the inevitable things one will experience in life and the garments worn by those people throughout time living out those events and experiencing such phenomena.
Many different occasions exist but work and death are timeless. The formalwear we dress the dead with. And the uniforms we wear to work for utility’s sake, those are timeless.
Levi's was synonymous of quality for workers, now days their jeans are decent but overpriced for the brand name. Their jeans are not even more made in USA.
Also clothes that counter the enviroment, like sunglasses, cap, trench coat, rain boots, gloves, etc.
And some sportswear also
Ralph Lauren is a brand that is so timeless it transcends into its own lifestyle
‼️‼️
Brooks Brothers is the KING of Timeless fashion.
I prefer the mix of timeless and chic of Tom Ford, Giorgio Armani. And the rock of Hedi Sliman and Anthony Vaccarello and boho chic of Roberto Cavalli.
@@shepleonard8695 polo Rl and RL purple definitely have classics/timeless pieces
Truuu
I think Mui Mui is HUGE for 2022 in womenswear. Seems like they’re leading a lot of trends like deconstructed schoolgirl style, ballet flats, etc.
I think you could make an argument that the concept of graphic tees are pretty timeless, in 100 years i think people will still be wearing them
"Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?"
Ugh, no. The white tee.
I also feel like there's a difference between "internet fashion" and "real life fashion" meaning a lot of trends and outfits I see people post pics of themselves wearing on Instagram or make videos about on TH-cam I simply don't see when I'm out and about in real life. Like I see wide fitting stuff is really trendy with the fashion pages on Instagram but when I'm on a night out where people would normally be dressing trendy, it's basically still the same slim/skinny fitting cuts we've been seeing since the 2010s. The only people I see consistently wearing wide/relax silhouette clothes are older folks in their upper 30s and 40s who were probably wearing loose fitting clothes when it trendy in the 90s and they just never updated their wardrobes or sense of fashion
Also depends on age group and location. I’m go to hs in nyc and everyone wears what you are calling “internet fashion”. Of course there are still a good amount of people wearing skinny jeans and stuff but its mostly wide fitting clothes
I think the 2010's was riddled with corny, tacky, lazy, cheap clothing but I think the 2020's is going to be more curated in terms of clothing brands. I feel like everyone that was doing those brands in the 2010's has grown up and realised how terrible they are and they have to reinvent and renew themselves. on a side note I think solovair is about to become bigger than it is. I've said this before. I see Tyler the creator wearing solovair loafers, I see Ronning doing collabs with them and I see more awareness to their brand. Now as Ive said before I hope they stay timeless but I don't mind if their trendy. the only problem with something becoming trendy is the company will cut quality to sell quantity. we just have to hope moving forward that stuff like that doesn't happen
I have so many friends that has switched from Nike to New Balance or other brands in the last year or two just because of Nike’s terrible quality control. A pair of New Balance’s are on another planet quality-wise compared to Nike.
@@xXcangjieXx true, I’ve not touched my Nikes in over a year but, my new balance are always on rotation. The comfort, quality and price point in some of their shoes is just up there
I think warcore is going to get real popular in a couple of years, not really for fashion purposes though.
I think an underrated aspect of timelessness is silhouette. Silhouettes often change through the eras but a good mid-cut silhouette will always be in. That being said, I've been on this baggy pant life since 2020 and haven't looked back lol. I find a mix between workwear and business casual allows me to have a good expression of trends while having good basics to fall back on.
Trends are trends for a reason, things that didn’t look good wouldn’t become trends. It’s ok to buy into trends if you actually like them. What you shouldn’t do is hop from trend to trend just because it’s popular. I still wear “trends” from the past because I like them. It’s all about refining your own style and not just following what’s cool.
Gorpcore really is just another variation of techwear and techwear to me is timeless due to how long it’s been around. We saw the more flashy variation of techwear come into style around 2018ish. I don’t know if it had a name but it was very utilitarian. Lots of pockets, tactical vests, all black with silver hardware jewellery. It will be interesting to see what next variation of techwear will be trendy.
I didn't even knew it was called gorpcore 2 months ago. I have been buying tech rain jackets every season.
@@teoleno4019 yeah because you need a new jacket every season? Climate Change and Environmental Pollution seem to be non of your buisness.
@@julius5310 I mean, I don't have kids, so I'm definetly not as wasteful as most people out here.
@@teoleno4019 Ah the good old strawman argument. You mean you dont have kids YET? (plus its a whack ass excuse for buying jackets literally EVERY season)
@@julius5310 I'm a woman in my mid 30s. I plan to stay childfree for rest of my life. Me buying extra jackets will be less of a damage than a family with one kid existing.
I think New Balance is the IT brand of the 2020s.
They keep true to their brad while making collabs that are not too far off their core.
And they have entered the mainstream.
I am 36 years old and I bought my mother 2 pairs of NB sneakers and she likes them design wise and wears them. And she does not wears sneakers typically.
Worn by models in Milano and dads in Ohio.
Worn from Australia to Bulgaria, from a boring to a hip area.
definitely agree here, I bought some 550s for my little sister's bday (2005 baby) and my mum liked them so much she wanted some too! i think New Balance is very versatile in their models and there's something for everyone, which is what will probably keep them from turning (staying) into a trend and instead carry onto the next years.
I think it’s crazy how fast new balance has grown back into popularity. A year ago you would’ve been blasted for wearing new balance 992 as they were “dad shoes,” yet now it feels like i can only see others wearing these types of shoes. No hate against it because I love when these types of things change and it makes the fashion side of life fun and interesting all the time when it gets shaken up. I’m so glad new balance is getting its love and it’s collaborations are getting better and better!
I think dad shoes been in style since like 2018 man you might’ve just not noticed
nah kanye brought back dad shoes. everyone likes being a daddy now
Seeing how the brand has a heavy collaborative culture takes the edge off of it as, grandpa shoes. Sure I won’t wear the all black pair of new balances that costs 60 dollars because it makes me think of elderly people. However, I’ve seen a ton of new balance collabs that looks amazing and it really makes me want a pair. My favorite is the Ben Franklin Nbs.
@@pocketsand9989 fr
bro i’m so sick i was wearing them in HS (2016-2017) and getting flamed now the price went up like crazy and everybody wears em smh
Reebok Club C's are insanely underrated when it comes to timeless sneakers. New Balance 990's also deserve a shoutout.
Agree 100%
2022 is for the 2002r
yk what else is underated
this yt channel
Love this topic and the vid!
In terms of “timeless” you probably could have touched on outerwear/layering pieces - the Jean jacket, chore jacket, leather jacket, peacoat, hooded sweatshirt, crewneck, v-neck, cardigan, wool peacoat/trench, terry sweatshirt, fleece pullover. In terms of accessories, I would throw in a 2.5-3.25 inch necktie (prob silk), linen pocket square, baseball cap. While I do probably lean towards “timeless”, these comments have been helpful for me to realize that trendy pieces can make your wardrobe more fun and interesting
I think slim fits are timeless. Maybe some times we’ll lean wider and other times slimmer but for the most part these cuts will stick where like very wide and very slim styles will have much fewer moments in the spotlight. I don’t think there will ever be a time where you can’t pull off a slim like 511 Levi’s or slim straight or obviously a classic fit like 501 but that’s a given. But yeah I think slim is here to stay, even if it’s not super trendy right now.
I think Jordan 1 OG color ways are timeless. While different collabs, like Travis Scotts or Off-White, or non-OG color ways, like the turbo greens or Mochas, are trendy. The shoe could be either based on colorway.
Good take
@@kylemalachowski Thank you
Mochas are pretty timeless AJ1s at this point. Timeless silhouette and goes well with so many pieces.
obsidians are timeless for me
Gonna sound crazy but I find male fashion advice is so much more comprehensive & broken down, you guys are always talking about specifics. Womens fashion videos are always so airy showing off full outfit without talking about the items themselves. 🥰 Thanks man, I am loving your content!
Wide pants are totally trendy - I think something that can help with the trendy vs not trendy with womens clothes is: if a women is plus size or overweight can she wear the outfit and look just as stylish as the models in the pictures? Timeless clothes seem to be so universal, like anyone can wear converse or loafers, anyone can wear collared shirts. Hiking clothes or gorpcore can be timeless in the sense that I don’t think the silhouettes are going to change a whole lot but idk if it’s going to be as stylish outside of the very practical and hiking community but that’s okay. Timeless doesn’t mean always trendy, preppy clothes are timeless but not everyone’s cup of tea.
Well said through and through
Womensware is so much more complex though, coming from a dude
I think there’s a lot of non-informative fashion influencers of both genders & also many smart & informative male & female fashion influencers. maybe you just haven’t found a good one yet for women. I would recommend you check out Laini Ozark. I would say her content within the last year especially is very good & she’s done her own timeless VS trendy videos. give them a try
@@nati__143 laini is awesome I definitely second that
I think as other comments have said finding the right balance between timeless and trendy is the way to go. For me that involves wardrobe staples being more timeless pieces like Levis or Dickies. The gorp stuff is interesting because as an outdoorsy kinda person I have always had Patagonia Arcteryx to ski or hike and I enjoy the practicality of their clothes. But they are certainly a trend and I agree must likely to fade soon, at least in the zeitgeist. I Also appreciate shoes like Salomons having a moment because they are very comfortable and utilitarian. So I can rock them hiking, climbing, walking, or as a sort of streetwear piece. Anyways great video!
Anything Birkenstock is timeless for sure
My used to make fun of me because her mom used to wear birkens
Great video.
Here is a topic I have been thinking about recently: form vs function. It feels like ultra functionable clothes have been a response to modern consumerism. This can be seen in the vintage scene with the inflation of carhartt prices. The aesthetic is also growing in streetwear with the increase of Arc'teryx being seen on influencers and consumers alike.
I have noticed that with this trend of functionality being seen as superior to flashier, more fashionable garments, there is a subculture of elitism that is taking root. People like to say that price of these high end brands can be justified by their quality, but I hardly think a Beta AR jacket will be two or three times as effective as my Patagonia goretex jacket. I remember in 8th grade how important it was that your black rain jacket was northface. Everyone had one and If you had like a Patagonia or a Helly and Hansen, you were made fun of. This arcteryx wave, feels similar, where people will say they like the brand and wear it because it's functionable, while in reality liking it because of the association it has to the people/groups they like. But why is this happening and why is there such a big hype on function right now anyways? I'm all for clothes that I can wear for the rest of my life. But sometimes it can be fun to not wear the same thing every day. Sometimes it's fun to wear a crazy leather varsity jacket or some wild cargo pants. I don't know why everyone wants to dress so "efficiant" as of lage. Any thoughts?
Great Comment, I agree
I think I fall under this category of consumer (with the hope I am not being elitist about it). I tend to Spend more on clothes if I know the quality/build On the item in particular is better than the average. The hype surrounding function I think has many layers to it. People want to where is something that’s functional and versatile, that will be cheaper to own in the long run versus relying on fast fashion. I think there might also be an aspect of completionism. For example, I went on a raw/selvedge denim binge in 2020 because I finally said “you know what, I’ve never owned a pair of jeans I like, and these are thought to be the most durable, etc, etc” And so now I own 5 pairs of varying fits and tones, And feel a sense of peace like ok I’m good for the next 5 to 10 years in terms of my denim. I don’t know if that’s just me though.
@@srooklyn thanks for the input! Imo completionism has been around in clothing forever. Although it hasn't always been called that. I totally get what you mean with raw denim. I went through the same phase. But I don't think completism inherently creates elitism. I know many vintage clothing collectors that ARE NOT snoody, arrogant, or self-centered in the slightest. And these are the guys that spend 20 years looking for the perfect kurt cobain tee and have 200 vintage nfl snapbacks bc thats just what they like. But I also come across vintage guys charging 150 for a post 97' detroit jacket (j97 not j001/lb6j) and then they have the AUDACITY to get mad when I tell them their jacket isn't from the 90s and that it isn't worth 150. When it really shouldn't matter in the first place. It's stupid that brands like carhartt have been co opted as "fashion brands" when they are specifically designed for durability. I'm glad people realize that carhartt is a stylish brand, but I don't want the brand associated with people like kanye, who would be scared to get their WORK jacket dirty. Same goes for arcteryx. It's meant to be worn and used, and it upsets me that people try to flex with it like it's something that it's not. Touch grass, go for a hike. (Not you specifically :) )
Edited: spelling.
Personally, I like to gravitate towards more functional clothing because I enjoy the features and versatility of outdoor clothing, whenever I wear a more form oriented piece of clothing, I feel like I'm missing out on the functionality of my performance clothing, although the divide between performance and casual clothing is becoming smaller as of late with "smart clothing" and brands such as Acronym and Veilance that have been recontextualizing performance features into more traditional forms.
i like it here.
A lot of classic Adidas are timeless. Campus, Gazelle, Superstar, Samba, Samoa...
They know how to make a shoe look clean and simple year bold and recognizable.
What a great topic an love how you spoke about things. It’s such a personal journey when it comes to style. Trends are great and can give you inspiration even for more timeless pieces. Just find as I’ve got older timeless pieces just seem to last in my wardrobe more.
I love you drew… genuinely one of my favorite people on social media as a whole. I love you’re style, you’re taste with brands, and i feel like you as a whole, is very much an inspiration to me. Not only that but your personality, you seem to be very humble, and thankful for the community you have going on. Thank you man, and keep up the awesome videos!
Haha I love got love for you too man ✊🏾
2nd comment, just finished the video. Overall I am in awe. Idk where your channel has been for me.. this is so chill, conversational, personal, engaging, refreshingly honest. You talk like a history teacher (in the best way) while being so gentle and kind as if you were talking to an old friend. Your positivity and passion shines through your content. The vibe is immaculate.
i think the north face puffer is a classic item. goes well w everything and is iconic.
this piece is the definition of trend lmao
I love my grandpa shoes, NB has carried me with how comfortable their shoes are, definitely wearing them before they were super trendy and I'm definitely planning on wearing them when they're not
Good video and nice breakdown of timeless vs trend Drew!
These conversations are so interesting man, thank you Drew for bringing these!
such a great breakdown drew, very awesome seeing you shine in this space of TH-cam, well deserved Drewbie
I love how thought-provoking your videos are! Great community in the comment section, keep it up
Bop Bop 2x your energy was on point. Love the positivity and the passion. Keep up the good work.
I am literally so happy I found your channel! You have an amazing take on the history of fashion. Well done!

Interesting point about the wide fitting pants. I definitely feel like it’s a bit of a trend as opposed to straight being timeless (imo). I’m 6ft 11 and I like experimenting with really wide fits to help balance out my proportions; but as you say it’s hard to get something to look big on me. 38 inside leg struggles haha
I agree I do thing it’s easy to call straight fitting pants timeless because it’s trending right now. Like 10 years ago no one was wearing classic fit. But I still think classic fit is timeless. I also think slim fit is timeless even if it’s not trendy right now. I just think the extremes of skinny and very wide will go in and out of fashion. I can see skinny coming back in like 20 years or something just as wide has recently but sticking to slim - straight will always be safe I think. That’s why I think slim straight will never have a moment because it’s always in moment in a way. It will never be trendy but it you will always be able to pull it off. It’s the safest and most boring cut. While slim and straight are always going to be safe and will be emphasized more during certain times. And skinny and wide will have moments in trend and moments not.
I'd love a pair of wide leg tailored pants (like a narrow a-line silhouette), they're impossible to find. I found ONE pair that was perfect. Designer brand, 850 dollars and it didn't come in my size lmao
I'm really into big baggy pants that sit on the hipbones. Might be a trend, but it reads pretty timeless to me. It's just relaxed and slouchy. I think it also looks really great on tall people. Try it!
I’ve been trying to work my closet towards a more timeless set of clothes recently so this video came at a perfect time. This may be my favorite video you’ve made yet, you really bring inspiration to many of us out here. #pvv
Definitely my favorite fashion youtubers out there. I'm glad I found you a while back. Sooo underrated.👌
❤️
I feel like this year there is an interesting change in fashion and that the idea of super trendy and hype based brands like supreme etc back in 2016 or so is kind of coming to an end. Also with the footwear moving away from all of the "sold out in 30 seconds" sneakers that go for 10x of the original price in resell. Would also appreciate a video on how tiktok changes the personal style of the people using it btw. Also great video!
trends in fashion, to me, is like a the ultimate back handed compliment. at one point or another it brings people into the world of clothing and inspires them to find their style! however when that trend isn’t timeless, those items will kinda get brushed under the carpet and you’re left thinking ‘fuck why did i spend money on this that etc.’ but it’s so essential to get people to experiment with what they like to wear yk. then obviously the more you delve into it you’ll find what you love and just do your thing, going out and tryna find new pieces that are different and weird to some! dunno if that makes any sense loool but that’s how it goes in my head. trends are great for fashion and play a big role, but i think the more you get into your own (whilst you still pay attention and slide in and out of it, buying some pieces here and there, finding a balance) you just do your thing whilst the back handed compliment brings in more people ahaha - great video though man, love the stuff :))
Great vid man!! As I’ve been really getting into fashion more and more and doing research, you have definitely been a source of information, love these videos like this
I think the drive to be unique while accepting and working with trends is the way to go.
Loved the breakdown it’s super interesting how the collared shirt has never left us in more than 100 years same with loafers and Oxford shoes
Man this really nice guide me where I go in fashion I’m so new to fashion it’s to
nice to see what’s the timeless pieces are
I used to be a trendy type guy that had to restart my wardrobe every couple of seasons because as time went on it looked tacky and outdated to me.
But after buying a few more basic and "timeless" pieces I realised I could wear the same pieces for ages without them ever looking tacky or outdated and also they transition into different trends and styles.
Dope vid as usual Drew! Loved the topic of this since I’m decluttering my closet, super insightful! Mos def appreciate your perspective on things
Thanks for the positivity that you spread during this tough time
👊🏾
Awesome video, great length to just run in the background while tidy up the room
03:50 I think that another factor that is important to consider is how much certain silhouettes define its era. For me that is when something turns from a trend to something that is timeless. Since its influence during that era can be used by younger generations to put their own subtle modern twist on the concepts and push an item to timeless status.
Great vid as always. Love your exploration in these interesting topics.
🤜 PVV, completly agree with your view point o pushing the video, gotta keep pushing good energy and positivity
👊🏾💫
As always, great video! You definitely open my eyes to a lot of new brands and pieces to consider incorporating in my closet
Your content is just sick, very underrated and honestly the most humble fashion youtuber I know.
❤️
Love the video, hope for a part 2
à bientôt! timeless pieces are the way! trends are nice but I tend to go for timeless items.
New subscriber here and I must say you’ve got me hooked !
video been out 10 minutes already seen in 4 times, lovely work brotha ❤
Hi! I love your vibe and how chill you are with how you talk about Fashion thank you
Post vid video is always the highlight of the videos
Bro your channel is really useful for everyone, I am sure!
Best video so far yet Drew
Just found your channel! I am just really getting into fashion and your historical perspective is so interesting! Such a well made video. New subscriber 😁
❤️💫
I think it’s a really interesting time we’re living in right now for obvious reasons but in the scope of your video we’re literally seeing old trends be renewed. Renewed in sense of the old adage that “history repeats itself.” As a society, we used every ounce in our fibers to wear skinny and sometimes cropped cuts of bottoms.
I recall especially between 2012 through 2014 was a period where the cuts were getting slimmer and skinnier. Super tight tees, super tight pants, for men, and shoot, wearing slim straight jeans we’re like wearing relaxed jeans. And now in present day it’s like we’re reliving the late 90s and early 00s. The cuts are getting much flared and we’re embracing full brakes again.
You also mentioned a good point where flared cuts is timeless and been around longer more than skinny cuts and all I can think of is how “meme-ish” that ultra-tailored-no-breaks moment in menswear was at that time. But what I see more now is how we’re embracing both the relaxed and slimmer cuts in some outfits AND with sustainability being the buzzword/movement we’ll continue to see more of old/vintage and new pairings.
Overall this was a great video and thank you for your insight.
I watched a review of slip on vans because I wanted to see what they looked like before I bought them, and now I’m here. Just glad to be participating thank you
hey drew, I'm building my wardrobe and I want to say that all of your videos and "hacks" are being so usefull to me, thanks
Tough thing about fashion is the things I’ve always liked before they got hot I will continue to rock and people are so hive minded that they’ll only see as fashionable if you keep up with the joneses. That’s my biggest issue with fashion trends personally. It’s more of an ask to be accepted by peers than an expression of what you like. I’ve been rocking arcteryx because I’ve loved the brand for years and I love jackets. Probably have like 25-30 but now people think I’m a hype beast which is reductive. Just my thoughts. It’s like language where people jump on phrases so quickly and then toss them out while some people have always communicated that way.
I’ve always done classic elevated staple/basics that I lightly sprinkle some tech wear and street wear or nerd merch into and then it blows up and it takes away from the intentionality of choices. I dunno I guess it’s not important in the grand scheme of things but while we are talking trends that’s just where I’m at.
I like fashion because I like intentionality behind choices so I’ve got nothing but respect for people who love to express themselves that way but my qualms with it is saturation I guess.
Sorry for the long post man. I’m just rambling on my lunch lol. I like your take on stuff though. Dope channel.
I think certain aspects of gorpcore and utilitarian fashion will stand the test of time just because personally, I see techwear having longevity within streetwear going forward. Prada for example has been pushing conventions of techwear in their more recent design language with their sharp silhouettes and boxy fitting tops and jackets, as well as their footwear having blocky, tech-y elements. Brands like Salomon and Arc’teryx will continue to trend upwards in popularity, and other brands will start to dabble in that aesthetic as well.
Yooow.. back then i just bump on your video for the vans lowlands.. haha. And look are you now. So passionate of fashion grows so fast! Lezgo! ❤👊😁
one of your best videos man! loved this one
❤️
This video is fire bruh. Good work
Late to the party but i really enjoyed this video. Keep up with the good work
White AF1s prob another timeless sneaker in that category.
1000%
I think a tapered wool pant is a timeless classic for bottoms, especially for women. A slight taper flatters curves, and there are different iterations of this throughout almost every decade. Even joggers and skinny jeans/pants can be re-contextualized as a trendier iteration of a tapered pant if you really wanna go there.
Fist time watching your channel and all I gotta say is QUALITY video!
❤️ thank you
Awesome content, excellent conversation, super thoughtful topics! So glad I was recommended this video. Automatic-subscribe 💯
Stg drew you are absolute a huge inspiration (in regards to your work ethic and I truly appreciate how you are comfortable just being you! I mean that Alecia Keys tho😂 but rt it’s Way bigger than from a fashion sense, it’s that’s human element!)) imma really start grinding again, you inspired me last week to start writing a script for my return to TH-cam…hopefully it’ll be up in the next 2 weeks…
Anyway much respect ✊
He forgot the 574 New Balance those will always be timeless and is back as a retro sneaker that matches with everything ❤
I loves this dudes vids bruh, I’m tryna up my simple oversized look. I’m kinda hittting the vintage skater look, but I wanna tap in to other stuff too.
Ayy been waiting for a vid on this subject nice
Vintage Levi’s is having a big moment right now. Particularly their classic cuts like the 501. If Levi’s play their cards right they might be a big brand in the 2020’s. Right now though I feel like modern Levi’s has a certain ”tackiness” to it.
they are massive, do you mean more trendy? Levis classic cuts in jackets and jeans have literally never gone out of fashion.
I think it's bc modern Levi's is constantly changing their catalogue and focusing on the quantity of pieces available over the quality of them. Finding a quality pair of jeans in there is a gamble because you won't know if it'll be there in a year. All that's guaranteed is knowing you're gonna have to get new ones at some point if your not a fan of fading lmao
Completely agree with the shoes listed. My favorite classic sneaker is the adidas stan smiths in all white leather!
Great great shoes
Post vid vid hits diffrent, great video 👊
Maybe it falls under the general umbrella of workwear but: hoodies. Literally the entire 30+ years I can remember being alive, hoodies have been the people's clothing. Pull over or zip they check all the boxes, been around forever, everyone wears them, go with everything.
The question if something is timeless or not is really personal. As an example for someone who loves basketball and appreciates the sneaker culture Jordan 1s will always be timeless. For people who only follow the trends and wear what is hyped, they are just trendy. Because after the hype they won't wear them.
Dunks as an example are trendy in terms of streetwear. However, skaters have loved them before and will still love them after the hype.
I personally have worn Asics, New Balance or Diadora sneakers for more than 5 years, because I love the retro runner sillouette. Although they are trendy and hyped at the moment, I will still wear them after their hype. So to me and my personal style they are timeless
I just came here for the stamp of approval on the loafers I just bought 😂 but aside from that I have noticed over the past two years I no longer want invest my dollars in quick trends but pieces that I can style and restyle over and over again. I mostly invest in men’s collared button up’s from thrift stores. Nice fitted denim. Knit and cashmere sweaters. Slacks, good quality jacket/coats now my first pair of loafers.
Fashion is one of those things I feel like they depend on your confidence and self awareness...like a friend of mine said "we should reach a time where anybody can wear the style they want"
The GATS definitely gotta be a timeless piece, basically the same designs for almost 100 years. And so many shoes have taken inspiration, definitely my favorite rimless shoe, can never go wrong
Jordan 1 TIMELESS but right now is also trendy, but something like the Jordan 4 (although I personally love them) is trendy, the Jordan 1 is just so iconic and will always be in style because you can mash it into many different styles
Sorry to say. Adidas was the first to make the sock shoes in 2015 with the Nomad_ R1 Primeknit OG. Sold out twice here in NYC. Then again in 2018 they brought it back out. SOLD. Balenciaga capitalized. And now crocs..... But I love your content. You put me on to the small brands. I thank you.
Great Video!!
Reps are more popular than ever!!! 😂
I think also the Arizona Birkenstocks and possibly the Ugg medium top boots are timeless. Those Uggs were trendy at first then died down and now, in 2023, I've seen them make a comeback and I think they'll be timeless moving forward
Drew looking extra fresh today
your voice is so calming
Even tho new balance is super trendy rn that to me is still a classic shoe that just happened to blow up rn but in certain parts of the country like dc maryland virginia new balance has always been a staple
#pvv love the haircut. Love hearing you use zeitgeist in every episode. You have some amazing vocals. It really is a scary time in our society, but so glad you continue your content.
When it comes to reps, the reason you are seeing it die on on stuff like tiktok is mainly because the videos keep getting taken down and rep content creators getting their accounts banned. I would say reps are even more on the rise these days, the repsneakers and repfashion subreddits has seen so much growth over the last few years it’s crazy
I still haven’t bought into reps though, since I don’t go for hyped releases but I find them cool. It’s gotten to the point where most can’t tell real from fake
sometimes something can be timless but can get oversaturated for a period. Once the hype wears down it becomes timeless again.
congrats on 100k
Thank you!!
Love this one!
You missed just regular boots. Stuff like Red Wings, Thorogoods, etc. Moctoe, work boot, combat boot, etc. Boots are probably the most timeless piece out there.
Aime Leon Dore for sure! I also like to think Ambush too!
Your insights are great
Balance is the key.
PLEATED PANTS AND DRess pants are defenetley timeless for bottoms
and man you are so right with parachute pants iin womenswear they could become timeless
Technically Selvedge denim had been around s long as denim had been around since all denim at one point was Selvedge. In the grand scheme of things the 50s aren’t that early in the life of denim as a fabric. But props to you for including it all all
That was a nice video to watch! Your take on fashion was nice to stumble upon. 🙏🏽 A normal fit for me starts with my Brown Red Wing Iron Rangers (6 eyelet), then a pair of selvedge jeans either from Imogene + Willie or RRL. For my top half I like layering a plain tee, chambray/flannel button downs, denim/chore jackets. I’m a bitch for texture so enjoy corduroy, linen, wool, leather, etc.
I have recently been decluttering to grow out of some printed tees. Any advice on alternatives to art printed tees? I don’t know why I feel so out of place with printed tees but I’m looking for basic tees and brands to try for them.
