Really good video man! I’m with you on the hermit life (as you know 😂)

maybe your best vid yet. it's really refreshing to have a voice in the youtube fashion space encouraging consuming less and with more purpose rather than more.

"It might sound boring to others, but I'm happy." Wise and self-aware

Hey James, as a man in my early 30s, I related to every single point. Only now do I feel I've kinda found my style in relaxed and baggy silhouettes, whereas before, I used to think my clothes should reflect how much work I'm putting in at the gym. I'm currently trying to offload a lot of items by listing them on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, eBay, and Depop, but I'm not getting as much traction as I'd hoped. I would love to see a video with tips on how to effectively declutter and sell. Amazing video as always! Cheers mate!

Been watching you from the very beginning and you always had great insight on personal style while displaying personal awareness. Good to see your channel growing ! 🙏🏼

I absolutely love your channel, James. Your transparency and honesty is much appreciated. This was fantastic as always.

really love hearing someone address these things mate! slowly learning to be apply these points as I get older and older haha

Appreciate you, James. Always look forward to your (and Harrys) weekly uploads. Keep up the great work👌🏻

Only been following your channel over the last few months but I’ve been loving your videos. I agree with pretty much all the points you make throughout this videos and others. It’s great seeing a fashion content creator truly minimising their wardrobe to pieces they actually wear, not what modern society deems to be “worthy” or “in-trend”. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel many creators always touch on the negative impact of having so many clothes, preaching to spend wisely and/or purchasing less fast fashion and more high quality. When ironically, they deem their over consumption to be ‘valid’ because of their lifestyle and occupation. To a degree, I definitely understand, but I feel people can still be fashion creators, without the need of an excessive amount of pieces. A bit of yap but anyways, I’m glad you’re preaching these wise words!

Another banger video James 🖤🤟 I'm also in the process of decluttering & simplifying my own life

I like your videos very much, James. Because they’re always very enlightening. You have a distinct quality of being always very humble, sincere and frank with your insightful opinions. You touch on the really important and unpalatable things in fashion. I wish others on KZfaq did the same 👍 thanks!

Love the dressing for social media take brotha, I have put on some clean outfits during my day to day but nobody would no cause I don’t post a lot as well feels good to just dress for yourself and nobody else

Hello james, Another great video. Very uplifting. Cheers.

The concept of calling people "outfit repeater" is truly insane. That's like saying you aren't allowed to eat the same meal twice in your life 😵‍💫

Last tip is so important! I'm happy with a shirt I bought on sale last week, I had it saved for months 😀

"We're all vain creatures at the end of the day," says you. Makes me think of the novel Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray: “The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion; and so let all young persons take their choice.” "Ah! Vanitas Vanitatum! Which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? or, having it, is satisfied?"

I agree with all the points mentioned in this video People create their own mental health issues by constantly comparing themselves to other people on the internet and faking their lifestyles for clout instead of putting their own happiness first I’m glad I got rid of IG and have never used TikTok because those apps preys on your insecurities to make you buy stuff you don’t need just to feel accepted by other equally insecure and snobbish people who are chronically online As a fashion community we need to stop with the “aesthetics” nonsense and go back to giving each other good ideas and active encouragement for better outfits and discovering our own tastes

Blue jeans and a white ass tee is good for me

gr8 content G! 100k soon🔥

I would say, that you are also different from the others in the way you talk. Very calm, beautiful pronunciation and nice voice.

Another Great video. So happy with your Channel growth. Well deserved 👍🏼👍🏼

Not browsing final sales is a good tip. Next thing you know, there is price reduction on a final sale.

I gave up social media and downloaded Duolingo instead now I’m moderately good at Spanish

This video is a treatment! Thank you!

Another good video James. Great stuff. Have a good day. ✌️

Your best video so far. Thanks

Points discussed all new to my ears

I'm becoming a huge fan ever week

Very need to see a video with that message. Thanks for that 👌

Really nice evolution. I can relate.

This was a great video with a positive message and practical advice. Also, that hair is absolutely working for you and your skin is glowing! 👀 🙌🏻 I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing your skincare routine with us? You always look so fresh faced. Cheers!

Jame, love the vid as usual! Are you actually wearing the MBS tee here? I think I found a decent alternative and wanted to get your thoughts on it. It's the Aylestone Core T-Shirt - Gyr White from Admiral. Finally, what do you understand by the term 'Tubular T-Shirt'? I am seeing it a lot since the advent of JAW's top in The Bear. Thanks!

Useful video and mostly agreed with you 😅❤

As a woman I’ve gone through all of these myself. Great video James!

Thank you for this video Im also at a point in my life where im trying to quit various bad habits. None of them relate to fashion, but nevertheless this was a helpful video. Your organized and reductive approach is definitely something I'm trying to replicate. And I'm glad i got to start my day with this video

My king, would you suggest and model some swimwear, the best underwear, etc. No other motive than examples for a body type such as yours.

So fare in general, that is why so surprising to see. My regards, sirrah!

💛💛💛

Your manner of talking had me subscribed.

Good vidioe james 👍

4:18 You sure you and Harry don't plan your videos together? LOL. Great video as always, bro!

Great video, I’ve been thinking the same thing… focus on buying on high quality essentials. Can we have a wardrobe tour at some point ?

I simplified my work clothing by wearing the exact same thing daily. I have 3 black polos and 4 black trousers, all identical. I also Rotate between 2 pairs of shoes. All black everything. Thank me later. P.S. no one will notice OR CARE.

Arrrgh i have an idea for a channel based on this exact thing!!! 😢

Nice

Hello James! Really enjoyed the video as always, I have a question for you. I was wondering if you'll do some brands reviews in the future since you've stopped buying multiple items at once especially if it's all from the same brand? That kind of video is always interesting to watch but the concept of it doesn't seem to match your mindset about how you deal with your wardrobe these days.

Does anyone know where I can find that exact Adidas t-shirt he wears in the second Instagram post at 1:40? In the link it shows up a different t-shirt..

🫠

Link on the Instagram story scared me

Similar to Marx's theory about how societies need to go through every transitional stage in order to truly achieve their highest form, I feel like the same notion applies here where in order to truly achieve this definitive state you describe in the video we must go through all these stages. For instance I already got over the "wearing something new everyday" and learned the lessons, but I'm currently in the hype of dressing for a life/subculture I'm not part of (yet). And I feel like if I skip that it would always live in the back of my head like wondering what could've been. Maybe it's not that deep and this comment is super cringe LOL 😂But great video as always, mate!

Is this guy a former fat kid? Don't mean it in a nasty way, I'm just curious based on proportions

Trends is for goofy teenagers.

I'm 28 now and I think as I got older, I did less and less of dressing fraudulently aka wearing what isn't me and moreso what I wanted to be seen as. And I also just choose less pieces nowadays because the neuroticism that comes with "looking right" is just too stressful and I've seen my gf stress like that and I didn't want to impart that into my life. I love peace. So nowadays instead of dressing for a certain look or goal, it's really just to dress comfortably and a look and feel of ease but also with an expression that there was sophistication and planning in mind, not just thrown on something. And when I do wanna have a certain look, it's purposeful but also comfortable and non stressful in the thinking of what's put together. I think overthinking about what others will think, will be negative to your mind and self esteem. I don't really care what others wear tbh so it's much nicer to be around someone who might not dress well but they're comfortable with themselves and enjoyable to be around with, than someone who dresses nicely but has to make sure they look correct all the time so they keep picking at their clothes and hear them constantly critique what theyre wearing rather than enjoying themselves
