Today's video highlights what I would consider to be the distinction between trendy fashion items and timeless fashion items. This video is purely my opinion and if you have a different opinion on whether or not a particular item or genre is trendy or not let me know down in the comment section.

I feel like anything is timeless if it's your personal style. Regardless of what the actual garment is, if its part of your aesthetic, it can never go out of style because you dictate what that means. The way companies sell trends is largely for the people who havent or dont want to develop a personal style (which is also a valid way of dressing)

i agree with dressing your style being timeless, also dressing to fit your body type is timeless, for example, a bigger dude will always look better with wider pants than skinny jeans even if wide pants are currently a trend. another example would be a shorter dude will always look good in a more cropped sweater as it improves their proportions, even though cropped sweaters are really trendy right now

@Phenrex Жыл бұрын

It's interesting to me to see how different our perceptions can be between one another. I literally don't understand how peoples preferences can blur with trends. I like what I like, trends are completely disconnected from whether I like it or not. I am a lover of collared lantern blouses, slim fit pants, golden jewelery, and elaborate bowties whether or not it's in fashion. The only way I think I'd be influenced is subconsciously in what I see, and more directly in just whats available to buy.

I feel that your “classic” takes are heavily inspired by European aesthetics. Specially when you talked about silhouettes, wider cuts are a mainstay in Japanese fashion as opposed to a trend. Plus, I think you overlooked subcultures which exist outside of “classic” looks such as grunge, punk, skate, etc, which have looks that are “trendy” but have been around within those subcultures for over two decades. Great video in terms of getting an idea on Euro/American fits.

@zachariah7114 Жыл бұрын

Good point about punk subculture, I saw someone say on another video that Dr. Martens are an example of this. They fluctuate between trendy and timeless, but even when they’re not considered on trend, they’re a staple of punk. They still will be 20 years from now.

i think an important thing that often gets overlooked when it comes to timeless vs trendy is quality of material. when you consider cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, silk etc., items made from such materials are automatically more timeless because of their durability (in my opinion)

@erlm595 5 ай бұрын

silk really isnt timeless, especially because it is so hard to take care of for the normal person. I am talking of experience... I love my silk turtleneck or silk scarf and silk-tie.

For sure. I don't know about everyone participating in fashion rn, but as a young professional in my early 20s, I'm not interested in acquiring too many flashy pieces that I will never learn to style or will stop caring for in a year or two when the winds change. I've definitely learned into brown and cream as a result, as they're such great shades (especially against my brown skin) and will continue to combine well with timeless colors forever.

My parents and aunts actually wore the original 1996 puffer when it first came out in the 90s and now I have one aswell. I do understand that its come back but a classic black puffer will always be a new york staple because of how conventional it is, how good it looks and ofcourse, that it keeps you warm.

The Detroit styled Jacket came out in 1954, meaning its almost 70 years old. I think if an item of clothing is still being worn for 7 decades it falls into the timeless category. Skinny jeans became popular in the 60s and have continued to remain popular, baggy carpenter pants became popular in the 90s and yet somehow they’re timeless. I like both and think they’re both timeless. On the subject of footwear, your arguments are odd to say the least. The Jordan 1 is a 40 year old shoe thats still popular. Crocs didn’t come out till 2001, and were clowned on for almost 2 decades, only becoming popular as a trend recently. The Adidas Samba came out in 1949! It’s a 73 year old shoe that sold 35 million pairs, enough said, its timeless. The trucker hat is 50 years old, I’ve been wearing them for 20 years. You’re showing your age and definitely need to research the history of the clothing you’re reviewing. Timeless vs Trendy should be viewed from how often they continue to be recycled throughout time. A trend usually dies whilst a timeless piece will remain. Plenty of other clothing items that i wont touch on that you’re wrong about. This video is a rare L for you.

i think the question of trendy vs timeless also hinges on the practicality of the item. timeless items, like normal fit jeans and sneakers are always something we're going to return to because they're comfortable, functional, dependable, and often lower effort to style and wear. statement-making trendy pieces are a lot of fun to discover and style, but they tend to be higher maintenance and get tiring after the hype has died down

They are also great for a lot of seasons, obviously, it depends on where you live but I'd say they are great for seasons such as spring, autumn, and winter.

Gotta say one designer that really helped me realise my personal fashion style was Yohji Yamamoto. As a girl i never resonated with skirts ,tight skinny pants, dresses, or pastel clothes. It did not look good on me and i also didn't like them in general. So when i first discovered Yohni Yamamoto's androgynous dark and edgily attractive style of fashion i was hooked. Now im just 17 obviously i can't afford his clothes but looking for inspiration in his clothes i was able to build a stable timeless wardrobe for myself that just felt right for me. I think It's actually quite fun to look thru runway shows or individual designer clothes to look for inspiration since they have so much avant garde and unique type of styles that may become special to you. If you don't want to follow trendy fashion you can always make a special style just for yourself that doesn't necessarily follow any trend or type.

good points and interesting video!! in my opinion when talking about the fit especially of pants, body shape also plays a huge role in what is timeless. especially for women’s pants, the ”straight leg” look wont look the same depending on your body shape, height etc. slightly more wide fitting pants might look more ’straight legged’ on someone with shorter legs and wider thighs (from my experience), whereas a true straight leg will only really give the classy straight leg look on taller, more slim people. but then again, like you said, it’s really all about finding a pair of pants that really fit your body right

I think that military wear has a lot to do with current trends in fashion as well as timeless pieces. The US army actually invented the first mass manufactured tshirt and ever since then it trickled down into everyday wear, which is impressive. They definitely influenced the consistent wear of items like derby boots after their massive popularity for use in Vietnam and cargos. When it comes to camo I feel like it can be split into two categories. One can be much more trendy and cheaply pasted onto a pair of pants or jacket just to be sold in mall, but an authentic piece of military camo can work very well. The olive green seen on the currently trendy military pants was discontinued in the late 80s so you can’t find any authentic pieces unless you go second hand. All military wear camo now and I will always bear in mind that the army won’t do anything without a reason.

Military wear inspired everything! (Almost lol). Mass manufacturing paved way for industrialization of fashion. Parkas are inspired by old military jackets, camo as a trend died down a bit, but the trendy colors (nature / earth tones) are the colors used in camo, German army trainers inspired sneakers etc etc.

But when we're talking actual army use, they use the best we know of, not the absolute best. A ton of people are now arguing that all grey (no pattern) is actually the best allround "camo".

another thing that is really interesting to think about is that certain pieces that might be hyper trendy in mainstream fashion right now, are actually timeless within the subculture they are deriving from. For example, certain items originating from gothic fashion are very trendy right now, but for true goths they have been staple pieces ever since the 70s!

As a member of the flannel wearing community, I do agree with your take. They’re not for everyone and as a long time owner of many flannels, it’s a staple when I don’t wanna wear a jacket and still need a layer. I’ve been complimented on my flannel styling, so I might be doing something right.

Wide-fitting pants are generally wayyy more flattering on people who happen to have my body type, an example of how trends *should* work, where you see people wearing something & it works so well on you that people don't really notice your clothing when it's no longer a trend

On the fleece I honestly have to disagree!! Imo I think something is timeless when it is incorporated in different aesthetics, groups, sports, "communities" etc. the fleece ALWAYS has been worn by the surfer community for example from billabong in crazy prints and colorways, but also like "suburb girls" are wearing a beige one over their lululemon leggings! then like you said there's the modern hype beast wearing the stussy ones and many many other communities!!

I'm interested in seeing what popular styles of garments of the last decade (including the ones now) will hold up maybe 10 years from now and stand the test of time. When the pieces we consider timeless were made, I don't think people at the time thought they were gonna be "timeless". As far as I can tell, a lot of what we consider "timeless" today is practical, versatile and accessible. There are certainly garments that fit all these parameters that are trendy. So I wonder-- if Tiktok wasn't a thing and trend cycles were slower would there be a greater potential for pieces to outlive their "eras" ?

Great video, drew. I think one really important aspect to consider in the "Trendy vs Timeless" debate is functionality. All aspects of fashion (and other creative modalities for that matter) exist on a spectrum of form and function. Timeless pieces carry a great deal of functionality in their form, with less extraneous aesthetic elements. Trendy items may or may not work well functionally, but they have an abundance of aesthetic cues in their design profile to garner interest. To your point, these trendy pieces are often a derivative of the highly functional "original" design, but with additional aesthetic cues. These extraneous aesthetic cues are easily interchangeable as they ebb and flow with the whims of the creative community.

What’s timeless is 100% determined by the communities and cultures you’re a part of though. Flannel is timeless if you grew up rurally (cowboy and Chelsea boots are another strong example of that), leather is timeless if you’re involved in motorcycle or alt music culture, tribal tattoos are timeless if you’re actually of the culture they are significant to. I for one would consider mini skirts to be one of the most timeless staples I own. I think it’s partially because I’m from Australia, and so wearing really short bottoms in the summer is very common, since it’s so hot. Sure, the exact style of mini skirt that is popular changes with the trends, but the concept has consistently retained its popularity since I was a child. I also feel that something like a mini skirt, which is so intrinsically connected to a social movement from history (women’s hemlines getting shorter as a reflection of the progression towards women’s liberation) is inherently more timeless for that reason. It marked a major shift in cultural consciousness, and we’ve been continuing to wear them ever since.

Interesting take on Monet when Impressionism was not considered ~classical~ when they were first shown to the public. Personally, I think our ideas of classical/timeless wardrobe pieces will continue to evolve as the human species evolve. Fit and silhouette, I believe, are more determinant factors in whether a piece of clothing is timeless, or not. I'd argue that leopard and camo prints CAN be timeless given the right design.

I guess timeless pieces can be very trendy as well - like the Birkenstock Boston, which maybe has been around for a long time but has not been regarded a fashion piece until last year. I would even argue that the claim of timelessness itself is somewhat a trend right now. Sustainability being a claim many companies make in their ads goes hand in hand with them selling “timeless“ products that are supposed to last for years and always look good.

my whole mindset for being "fashionable" is being independent with what you think looks good on you. and when that isn't trendy, that's good, even when you're called "unfashionable". match colors, textures, patterns, and fits for what you like, not what trends tell you too. cuz that Nirvana t-shirt bucket hat combo is so stupid

Speaking for just me right now.. Social media coerced me into wide fitting pants, but I definitely fell in love with how I look in them once I tried them out. They were never that easy to find for a while, and I was never one to buy pants 3 times my size so, I really owe it to the post 2020 fashion climate for putting me on. The furthest I ever went in that direction was wide pleated khakis and old blue uniform pants from high school that I'd wear on occasion. It used to be tapered sweats all day for me. (RIP Yeezy/Jerry era)

I love headphones, I hate air pods. Headphones are much more practical. It’s also nice that people can tell when you are listening to something. Someone might not see that you have air pods in your ears. For example wearing headphones at the gym, you don’t have to worry about them falling off. I think they are timeless. Trendy right now yes, but overall timeless.. I had headphones before I even had an iPhone.

For me, fashion and trends are all about silouhettes. You can define an era by the most popular outline of a human. I think the most recurring silhouette in womens fashion is a tighter top half that broadens at the bottom. To me, whether or not something will last long in my wardrobe, or even whether or not someones fit on the street appeals to me, is all based on the silhouette, not colours, fabric, brand or texture. If someone has the current trending silhouette wrong, it's not a fit.
