Another good tip: don’t try to force yourself into one specific style! So many people get hung up on looking “preppy” or “goth” or “punk” when in reality your personal style will probably be a mish-mash of aesthetics! Don’t be afraid to come up with an aesthetic wholly unique to you.
Yes currently trying to figure out how to mix “mall goth” and scene together lol. I’m guessing just add kandi brackets to outfits and colorful belts and shirts? Idk
I fall into this trap so much. I like being clear and explaining things well so to have a style that’s undefinable is hard and doesn’t provide me with much guidance as to whether I’m doing it right or wrong. Plus I’m never sure whether I like something because I actually like it or because it’s popular or because the people wearing it appear happy and I want to be like them or blah blah blah. I guess I just need to stop thinking about how I appear to other people and just think about what I want for a change 😅
@@kandy1643 For me my style is “e-girl” and “kawaii” so I like sometimes like have the “e-girl” striped shirt under a colorful t-shirt/sweatshirt and for the pants there’s so many options you can go jeans with some patterns or simple jeans or a skirt. Just explore!
reminder: trends aren't a bad thing. completely building your wardrobe and throwing it out based on them is. if you like something that is trending, wear it! if you like something that isn't trending, then WEAR IT.
i was like this and i also suffer from severe anxiety and hate having people staring at me but daaamn the hardest part is over and i’m so much more confident and happier with a more unique aesthetic/style 💗 we only have one life! people that look at u in the streets will completely forget ab it after! 💗💗 sending u all my love
This is ME. I wear eccentric items & genuinely enjoy the thrifting BEFORE it was trendy. But I’m so introverted & socially awkward , so I struggle btw wearing what I like & not wanting to draw too much attention
She does that in her “capsule wardrobe” video, you might want to check that out if it’s something you’d be interested in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WMt8jPdEaT8.html
I feel like this is very common. That people have a hard time choosing aesthetics I’m I the only one that just doesn’t have this problem and from the start knew what they wanted? Lmao
Whenever I hear of this "problem" though, it makes me think of one of the biggest fictional style icons of all time: Carrie Bradshaw of Sex in the City.
Same. I am a mix of a Blair Waldorf preppy style, a soft girl aesthetic, and like an academic aesthetic, all rolled into one. Don't limit yourself to one style. I like my headbands, tights, tweed, and heels a la Blair Waldorf, but I also like my big sweaters, button-downs, little pastel cardigans, sweatpants, loose jeans, and combat boots. Don't be afraid to be a mix of different styles. It brings variety in a really cool way. You can mix two different styles in one outfit. I mean how cool is that. 😊
It’s funny how everyone laughed at me back in the days because I wore loose baggy jeans instead of skinny leggings and oversized shirts and hats and now every second billy is going "90s" and tell me to be individual and not copy and going with the trend SERIOUSLY edit: i can relate with your replys on a spiritual level
Saaame. I used to tie dye my t-shirts, wear baggy clothes etc in high school and there was a specific girl who made fun of me for doing that. Now she dresses that way to keep up with trends. It’s weird how people’s interests and personalities depend so much on the fashion industry and the current trends. 🤷🏻♀️
That's reminds me of my middle school days when I was the only one who wore her natural hair (curly) and girls were laughing at me and know they doing all they can to have curls
The internet is a lifesaver. I've honestly never loved skinny jeans because they're so constricting but I felt like there weren't other options because that's the only thing I saw people wearing. Once things like baggy jeans and mom jeans started trending I had the opportunity to wear them and realized baggy clothes are more in my comfort zone and style. They raise my confidence so much!
i feel rlly "stuck" with my wardrobe and atm i dont rlly have anything wearable in my clostet, so i just end up wearing the black sweatpants, a gray tshirt and a black hoodie everyday
Same omg I’m not the only one with this problem, but I recently found like a rlly cute outfit in my wardrobe that I rlly like, but since I’m not confident I always war a huge hoodie over it
The confidence thing is what I struggle with most. I have such a hard time finding things that fit well or feel flattering...I always get excited to try new trends or styles, and then never wear them because they don't look good on me or fit right. My body type and overall body image just makes me wear the same silhouette everyday. Do you have any tips about the whole 'what looks good on your body type thing' and how to not be so discouraged by it?
@@sleepyzilla1214 hey!! ik on tiktok there’s a lot of muslim creators who dress alternatively so u can check there for suree!! over on instagram there’s a lot too, i really like @nehmasis and @aabugiee’s styles.. but i think you’d fine even more heavily alt creators on tiktok (i’ll let yk if i can find specifics cus ion have tiktok atm 😭) hehe hope that helped 🤍🤍
Hi @ReyBeltane, if you're not already familiar with Kibbe body typing or Body Geometry, I would highly recommend checking out "Merriam Style" on RU-vid to figure out your body type, and learn how to adapt different looks to make them work for you. Personally, it has helped me out immensely! The best part is that it goes waaay beyond "pear shape" "hourglass", etc, and analyses your bone structure (meaning that your body type won't change with weight!) to tell you what will complement the lines of your body. For reference, StealTheSpotlight is very likely to have a Mixed/Gamine body type, which basically means that she looks best in outfits that contain a mix of opposites (short vs long, heavy vs light/sheer, lots of detail vs minimal, etc).
Because of you I'm more happy with myself and how I dress. I wear what I really wanna wear and don't think aout other people. Where I live people look at you weird if you wear an anime shirt or anything rainbow or not everyday. But after I found you're channel I'm more proud and happy! So I just wanna say thank you! You changed my life!🥰
I have a certain style I really want but if I were to have it I dont have a body that's fit for it.... I have thicker thighs and a stomach and I dont know what to do...
@@Sam_Hedgehog it's easier said than done but maybe start by wearing pieces you like little by little to get used to wearing them. confidence really is key, worst case fake it til you make it and try affirmating urself! remember that strangers' opinions do not matter to your life!!!
i really wanna have like a lot of rainbow accessories but the people here are stopping me although it's quite a bit worse than just a few stares--i'll actually get beaten up and harassed and police wont do anything about it either so :(
I'm on this mission to find my style and rebuild my wardrobe, with thrifted items. :) I like your eyeliner and hair. :) update: pinterest changed the game for me, I was always hesitant to use it. So now I know what I would like to try out but finding pieces to buy is sooo time consuming because I‘m very particular because I‘m the kind of person who wants their style to be somewhat unique but also not too attention grabbing, plus comfortable... soo yeah. Slow process. :) Be a slow shopper people. :)
it seriously is so important to look through the clothes you already have before buying a whole new wardrobe! i always try to find new ways to wear old clothes before getting rid of them, and there's almost always some way to update them to fit my new style!
I watched a bit of this video up to the part where she talks about Pinterest, i downloaded Pinterest and.. now I’m back 5 hours later to watch the rest of the video-
Damn I'm the opposite, I'm sad it's so cold here all the times cause I always have to cover my cute outfits with coats, and getting multiple costs to fit the outfit is so expensive
I'm mostly tomboyish but you still can tell that I'm a girl. I've outgrown my style though. I'm still living with my parents and I can't afford to buy my own clothes yet. My dream style would be an e-girl goth aesthetic. A lot of black and blood red.
i would love to see a video styling skinny jeans. i know they arent in style anymore but i have so many that idk how to wear bc of the new trends. and i dont want to just give them or throw them out :(( help
they go well with sleek booties, chunky shoes, classic canvas shoes and overall shoes that go over the ankle I would pair it with a form fitting tucked in long sleeved shirt or turtleneck and over that, you can put a blazer, sweater vest, or smth along those lines or just a sweater tucked into the jeans or with the front tucked into it you can also look up smth like skinny jeans outfits on pinterest
i'd wear skinny jeans with a collar button up and a sweather west or with an oversized jumper and a turtle neck underneath. i'd pair it with shoes like dr martens or chunky sneakers. hope this helps a little? hha
I’ve been a kidcore bb for a few months and my wardrobe, although I expected my ‘signature item’ to be some colorful t shirt I thrifted it actually turned out to be a pair of high waisted kakis.
possible idea for a video: i've seen jenn im do a series called "what would jenn wear?" where she answers fashion questions her followers have (either about how to style a specific piece or something more broad like a trend) i've always loved the idea, but from what i've seen, she hasn't done a recent one and i think it would be super helpful for you to do, especially because your style is so distinctive. it could be a sort of easy, go-to video as well if you're ever in a creative stump and are struggling for a video to put out for the week!
I LOVE that you made this video!!! Most videos I've seen about building wardrobes tend to focus on basics/minimalism. They do share useful information & are often definitely stylish, but they're not like yours full of color & eccentricity! This is more my vibe😍💜 & I also use Pinterest for all types of inspiration I'm creating something for(like art, style, or home)
If you do the aesthetics video, here are some ideas I'd love to see😊 Mystic, Time Periods(I've seen people dressing up like modern day Rococo or 1800s), Alien chic
Love retro, baggy clothes, and at the same time I love tight clothes haha. I'm still figuring out what I like as a young teen but I'm sure I'll find it out soon :) Luckily my mom is also helping me, she's happy buying me what I want to wear, as long as its not revealing.
It’s the same with me! I’m pretty shy but love to express myself through fashion☺️ It’s weird but I actually like the stares people give me in school😂😅
I feel u so much!! I love a lot of things but I always end up going with black/edgy because it what makes me feel most comfy but I'm so bored of it omg
I wanna see u in a full off cottagecore look, no harness, no excuses!! I love ur style so much, we're blessed with having you as our bigger sister haha xx
i'd rlly wanna see mashups of aesthetics cause i luv almost every aesthetic and wanna see a middle ground for those,,,, i luv kookcore and taecore both equally and always wanted to see someone mash these two aesthetics up!!! do it for us queen
the stitchess said it was important not to stick into one specific style and that is so true ! i used to want to have an etheral style, but i also liked vintage or colorful and i just thought "well i already chose one anyway" and it never crossed my mind that i could do everything
I’ve always knew what I liked to wear, but I never really knew what my aesthetic/ style was called. My sister told me yesterday what my aesthetic was called so I just learned yesterday. It’s: cottagecore fashion and dark academia fashion. I never really knew where to find what aesthetics are which and what each styles are called, so a video like that would be helpful! ❤️
i'd love to see some more capsule wardrobes for different "aesthetics", maybe do a q&a on instagram or something to see what styles/aesthetics people would be interested in seeing. for me it would be cottagecore and similar aesthetics, or anything sort of vintagey, because that's my personal style, or what i'd like it to be once i get more confident.
that almost sounds like some 80's grunge. you can totally look it up on Pinterest and ask anyone that was near the 80's what it was like. The 80's was not all neons at all.
Crazily realistic and encouraging. I want to start discovering clothes I really like without feeling like I have to fit into a definitive box with my style. It’s hard to stray from safe options without feeling like you’re trying to be something you’re not. But I’ll get there and it’ll be worth it to have some confidence in myself Edit: I’m also scared to pursue new styles because I’m someone who can become blindly obsessed and then disinterested in something overnight. Aaaannnddd if I don’t have a a set of clothes that fulfill the look I want to go for then I feel dissatisfied and discouraged and end up abandoning it. I think way too much about this can you tell? 😂
13:25 highkey techwear or like... you know Gucci models where they pair a bunch of random items together and it somehow works. Also maybe some 70s inspired look :)
I just need to say. My folder is called Thrifting ideas and it helps so much knowing it’s not restricted. Also love that Fran from The nanny was shown. She’s a queen of fashion.
So glad this video came up in my recommended! I’ve really been trying to come out of just wearing t-shirts and denim shorts/jeans everyday and I really need to stop caring about other people’s comments cause every time I try to dress “nicer” than what I’m used to, someone ALWAYS comments/asks why I’m so “dressed up” that day… like please leave me alone and let me wear the clothes I feel cute in without making me feel self conscious 😭 I also struggle getting clothes I want because I’m so used to just wearing t-shirts that I’ve just… convinced myself I don’t look good in the stuff I want to buy since I’m not used to myself wearing them /:
Thank you so much for this!! I feel like I have so many clothes that aren't really me? Plus, I like my taste in fashion more than what I actually put on my body 😅😅 I've been trying to think of a way to fix that disconnect... (So basically this was a Godsend lol 🙏🙏)
You shouldn't care about him that much. If he's an actually good parent he'll love u no matter what you wear, and if not, you do whatever makes you feel best. I hope the situation is better now and you dress the way you wish
Okokok so since third grade I've always been a little different. I absolutely love all things pastel, and I also like to pair it with black platform boots! I ordered demonia swings recently and I'm sooo excited for them to come. I feel like it's the start to feeling confident in what I enjoy wearing
I used to think fashion was for girly girls and so I never bothered for it, until recently. This past year I’ve been getting in touch with the more “girly” things I like (like I used to hate pop music but love it now). I always liked dressing up characters in games, but never myself and now I wanna try. Something I like is making an outfit based on an album or song or mood of music I like. Thank you for giving tips for beginning to find things I like to eventually find my style! :)
"I do not care about clothes. I wear what i like, and usually this is what I found in the morning in my bedroom" -Gerard way. i cannot put it any better when it comes to my style.
I don't have issues with knowing what type of clothes or styles I like but am I watching anyways? absolutely. honestly my style is a mix of a bunch of different styles, kinda just depends on my mood. my dream is to have a huge closet and a ton of options someday
i personally LOVE neutral colors and a classic, chic/elegant look. very minimalistic. i want to introduce more colours in my dresser. i only have blues and then beige, brown, tan, white, and black. i also want to branch out into some other styles. the area i live in is pretty hot and winter is basically around 40 degrees (fahrenheit)
This is my personal tip: separate the clothes you like/wear a lot from the clothes you don’t like/don’t wear and then start slowly buying mor clothes you like and gradually throwing out the ones you don’t and DO NOT KEEP STUFF THAT IS TOO SMALL and one last tip: if it doesn’t spark joy and isn’t sentimental to you in any way ... you don’t want or need it✨🖤🌹💋
This video was so informative and well structured! Your style encapsulates a lot of different style elements but I think it would be fun to see indie, clowncore, skater, dark academia, or an ariana grande inspired one :-)
recently I've found my style and have been beginning to build my wardrobe. the only way I can describe it is "sailor moon got lost in a swamp and joined a satanic club"
I loved this, I think I realised I've been trying to categorise "my style" a bit too much so that I have felt like I need to be one thing or the other instead of just you know.. Combining them.. Into my own style. So that makes a lot of sense, thanks for the video!
