Feeling Overwhelmed by Fashion 

I’m a simple man I don’t get overwhelmed by material stuff like this I just wear my nelk merch, pit vipers, and my hey dudes and call it a day unlike you homeless cosplayers🦅🇺🇸🏈

I'm overwhelmed from being overly-stylish (I religiously wear Uniqlo)

I had a massive burn out during 2021 when i went through a phase where I just couldn't afford to wear the pieces I wanted, it honestly changed my opinion on fashion. The social media fashion community is a massive circle jerk and completely misses the point imo. Ultimately what you wear is your choice and it's never been as deep as any influencers pressure you to believe.

I really hate that people try to put a hard look, judgment or description on fashion when in the grand scheme of things, it’s whatever you want and whatever your comfortable in.

entering the fashion sphere of interest is both so refreshing to open a world of art and also overwhelming due to the sheer amount of content... gambit clips boss up

I kinda took the internet freak out over those two dudes personally since those are the exact brands that I like/wear. Fashion is an incredibly toxic place where people push for uniqueness yet clown on anyone actually doing things subversive. The only outfits that receive small amounts of hate r thrifted/inexpensive outfits that lean somewhat into trends. People like to consider themselves knowledgeable on fashion and so those who challenge their ideas piss them off a lot. The sad truth is that people rarely realize how much trends are affecting what they view as good style. Those two clearly care about fashion, as very little of that outfit is recognizable and so they are clearly doing it for their own image. I could rant about that video for hours that lmao I’m obsessed with it

Actually I'm overwhelmed because I never actually took part in fashion, cause I just have been observing everything without ever buying anything and now I'm scared lol. So I have accumulated a pretty good amount of fashion knowledge and I enjoy watching runway footage but I've been wearing the same Salomons, Levis and white t shirts looking like a hiker dad for like 4 years now, would be really weird to all of the sudden wear coats and Guidis 💀💀💀

8:54 the whole gatekeeping conversation is tricky. I’ve had 2 people in the last week ask me where different pieces were from. I was happy to tell them because both times it was pieces by small brands where the workers get paid appropriately, so why wouldn’t I want more people to support those brands? I think it comes down to the person asking lol, both of these people seemed genuinely enthusiastic and we actually had real conversations lol. I think it sucks online because a lot of people asking don’t truly care about the brand, where they style comes from or anything , they just want to look cool right fucking now. I think we all cringe at someone who isn’t genuine participating in something, could be anything. Laini ozark posted a video on why she likes gatekeeping , and her example of someone posting a video talking about their mom dying and someone’s up in the comments like , “drop the link for the top “ so at the other end you have that and it’s super annoying and they’re the same people shook when you tell them the piece is 5 or 6 years old ya sorry its sold out 😅

"I've been pondering this fashion stuff a lot recently" gets funnier everytime I hear it. Also... Algorithm.

I got overwhelmed by fashion in 2021 when the lockdown stopped here in Brazil, i was so pressured to look unique and different, but even here in Brazil that like 80% of people dresses whatever or the brazilian blokecore I always found people with my exact fit, that used to make me mad lol, that made me go in this rabbit hole of buying weird ass clothing that i didn't even like just to not look like a "npc", im glad i grew out of that and just started to not give a shit anymore, i finally just wear what i want not caring if I look like a "npc" or whatever, finally found confidence in myself and not on being the only one in the room with a weird ass tie dye and crazy accessories

this is honestly one of the best fashion related videos i've seen in a while, so much of online fashion discussion i see just ends up being about trends or panda dunks or whatever and not talking about stuff like gatekeeping, the "competition", etc...... thank you warlock goat🗣👽

i downloaded vogue runway app bc of this video and got an add for a glowing ballsack to put on the back of my bike seat. I am learning.

Seeing as you also have some experience with /fa/ I feel like one thing they did that I agree with is to not call gatekeeping for 'gatekeeping' but rather an act of not wanting to 'spoonfeeding'. It used to be that people would only guard information when the questions being asked were so surface-level or easily answered that to give away that information would ruin the act of digging and learning, as opposed to just being spoonfed information. I always feel like when people constantly ask for id? or where to purchase entire fits its because they arent willing to put in the minimum amount of effort required to actually engage in the hobby of fashion.

honestly great video that really captured how i've felt about the fashion internet spheres for a bit now; it's hard finding fashion content/communities that are critical, but also do genuinely focus on the enjoyment of fashion most of the time. there's plenty of people on youtube and tiktok whose styles i like and could probably make great content, but instead every video they make is is "microtrend bad/big red boot bad/your fashion sense is bad/cdg play shirt funny because it's bad", and not that you can't criticize those things or that i even disagree at all, but when all someone does is criticize, i don't even know what they do actually like. that's why i like your channel because you have a very critical eye, but you'll also make videos breaking down the basics of a bunch of brands for newcomers, something that you clearly have passion for. loved all your suggestions at the end and found a couple new pages to follow, can't wait to see whatever u put out next

Wasn’t expecting the tech fleece lol 4:29 But yes, the cycle truly does continue until you just reach the point where you just wear what you want and don’t care. I am fascinated by people who are still apart of the endless cycle and aren’t phased by the negatives that being involved in fashion may bring . I guess they believe that it’s all worth it

where i live, fog essentials and panda dunks are unheard of and avant-garde. I love the gap between living in NYC or California or Seattle or Toronto where you might actually see someone wearing interesting clothes as opposed to seeing one pair of jordans every three months

I'VE BEEN WEARING THE SAME PAIR OF JEANS, SHOES, AND SWEATERS FOR THE PAST 5 MONTHS! im overwhelmed by fashion.

I don’t get the idea behind gate keeping personally. I like to talk about what I got on, where I got it, etc. its always made for good conversation with people who aren’t even “into” fashion

huge agree with what that dude said about gatekeeping! Lotsa people with money to throw around think that wearing obscure brands or hard to find pieces makes them stylish when alot of times people are doing it for the wrong reasons. It's really obvious to me when someone is wearing something that speaks to them and helps display their personality vs when theyre trying to be 'npc' and "look good". Gatekeeper mfs are all drip no sauce

That Fashion Cycle is real. 19-21 I was suuuuper into my style and was locked in to any new trend or style, even bought a sewing machine and was making my own stuff. Then life hit me in 2021 and I feel completely out of the loop. I feel like I’ve retured to a cluster fuck of gate keeping or tik tok fit inspo. I say find inspiration in others but make it your own and comfortable.

Sold all my Rick and margiela and now I just rock vintage gap I found in my dads closet and Ralph Lauren

bruh the intro already got me dead, dude wearing true religion with arc'teryx 😭

good take. I love creating this echo chamber.

great video FH, keep em coming 👍

I’m late to this. But my reasoning is exactly what you’re talking about. I was very into fashion and progressing my personal style in 2018 through 2020. Things were getting to be a bit overwhelming with all the gatekeeping and circlejerking. Aaaaand then I started working boring jobs and wearing the same kinds of outfits almost every day. I was neglecting so much of my closet, so many pieces I had accumulated over the years. Pieces that I loved but just didn’t have the spark or opportunity to wear anymore. Even when I did get the opportunity, I just couldn’t bring myself to put in the effort. What if this piece I bought in 2019 is super common and “uncool” now? What if I’m out of touch or tacky? I distanced myself in so many ways from the fashion world. … A little over a month ago, I finally left my boring job. I’ve been unemployed, which sucks, but it’s given me time to take care of myself (I’ve been having lots of health issues and never had the time to see any professionals) and dive back into my hobbies. Part of that was rediscovering my personal style. I dug out some old pieces from my wardrobe and felt excited again. There were definitely some things I didn’t vibe with anymore, so I’m trying to resell those and replace them with pieces I do enjoy. I don’t care if my style is viewed as tacky or off-trend or normie. I wear what I like, what I find comfortable, and what makes me feel like myself. My old coworkers dubbed my style as “grandpa chic.” I think that describes it pretty well. … Now time to binge watch all the FHTV videos I missed out on!

appreciate the mention bro, well put together video aswell🤝

Not only can you replicate how someone carries themselves as many do especially in the world of fashion where your apparence can just be an apparence but the exact problem I personally take is with people copying individuality. I style myself the way I like and at the same time that is my expression to the world. I am me, and I do me. If someone copies me, than the world doesn't know who is who. Did I copy or wad I copied and because I authentically picked what I liked opposed to cloned someone else I'm stuck with what I have. Arguably, there is a the insecurity of wanting to be seen, and recognized by others as an individual. But I think that is a much riskier form of expression than copying someone. Copying someone's style which is absolutely possible from garment to the way one carries themselves, is taking only what works without having to face the ridicule, and rejection that comes from being yourself when the world doesn't approve. It's like being a trader only when the market is booming, or part of a culture only for the good parts. Like a bank getting bailed out of bankruptcy by the government with tax payer money. It's also that people who copy others don't do it with the intention to acknowledge that they copied someone. They make it seem like this is them. They have this uniqueness, that sprung out of your life. It's like wearing your life experiences as a garment for as long as the world approves. I'm recognize that it sounds more healthy to say, we shouldn't be bothered by people who copy us or that it even is flattery. But it feels more like theft. Like an impersonation. Like someone is trying to gain social status with your likeness. When you come around those same parts, and meet those same people they may even think you copied someone else. Which in my view diminishes your reputation. It makes you appear inauthentic when in reality you are the authentic one.

Never assimilate, NEVER SURRENDER!!! Being a contrarian is where it's at.

I’m in my 30s and I basically cycled through every fashion style there is and eventually reverted back to what I wore at 18 - apparently, I figured it out back then and everything since has been pointless flailing.

writing here is pushing into god tier stay up

fav past time is consooming FHTV content

top tier video as always

this is so real. as a fashion newcomer who only buys polos chinos and jeans the gate keeping is reason why i only buy these pieces

This was probably a throw away comment you made, but I want to focus in on what you said about Patreon. To me, fashion education is already extremely inaccessible, its expensive, hard to find and generally not available across the world. So, I really dislike to see when creators make informative videos behind a paywall. Im including the new Vogue paywall and all the other mainstream media too. This kind of information shouldn't be exclusively for those that can afford it. It bugs me to know end that to find out everything about, say, Rick or Margiela, I have to not only buy books, but now I have to pay each individual company and creators patreons and subscription services in order to get all the information. I hate this so much and will absolutely never do it myself. Having early access I think is fine, even more entertaining content behind a paywall is fine, but if it comes with information thats genuinely helpful to a student or a child trying to get into fashion, then it either shouldn't be behind a paywall, or have an optional paywall only. (apparently I had stronger feelings on this than I thought I did, maybe Ive just been burnt one too many times 😂)

SLOOOOOOOW DOOOOOOWN. Jeeeeez!!!

Hey there! Iceberg creator here! Ye its hella flawed and was mostly done as a response to an already existing other obsolete fashion iceberg which I saw ciruclating back from /fa/ . Im still glad that people bring it up, cause I think it can act as a good example of everchanging trends and shifting fashion landscape, in which nothing is permanent. There are some brands which are more niche than others, but at the same time, even they can become the center of attention as time goes on. I also understand that the idea of an iceberg format is overused and oversimplified, so I personally dont see it as nothing more as a fun way to throw a bunch of brands on an image and show an average person what is surface level and what is "wEiRd AnD oBsCuRe!"

As a destiny 2 fan I was surprised that you play that game and I was aber wondering, what your opinion is on lightfall ?

Wearing rn a pair of baggy Nudie Jeans and a Levi's Trucker jacket, your channel is very cool. Thanks for your effort

Gatekeeping is great 🤝😎

That Destiny gameplay 🤤

I’ve def burnt out lately. I had to delete my social apps and clothing apps so I don’t get tempted into buying more drip that I don’t really need…

I’m overwhelmed by debt, but ive made major major payments, later ragerzzz

10:28 awww I think they look pretty cute. But this reminds me some high schooler asked where he could get my viv chain (I have the huuuuge one lol) and I didn’t gatekeep… saw he didn’t know and I was like oh , it’s sad she passed away a couple months ago , without a beat he was like how do I find reps ? I just walked away lol I shoulda gatekept

yesssirrr new vid

Which season of fashion do i start at?
