"I wOre tHis in New York City + I waS cRouChinG in FrOnt of A reStaurant". -The most narcissistic, unnecessary and irrelevant sentence I've heard in a while. James Charles is insufferable. Love you and your lack of patience for this malarkey Luke ♡
I'm just going to say, I'm more impressed with someone's style if they can take a statement piece and restyle it many different times than the whole only-wear-things-once "fashion" people
My biggest issue with this closet tour is that you can tell he doesn't respect the pieces inside. I got the impression that he doesn't like clothes, shoes or bags. He likes the clout the name brands give him. I completely understand people who just want to throw on a pair of sweats and see their clothes as utilitarian. What I don't understand is why anyone would buy meticulously designed garments if they don't care about them and are going to just swap them with whatever is trendy next. I got angry When he mocked the people who try to take special care of their expensive shoes, while trying to crease the DiorXNike Sneakers. His whole video lacked class.
I think it's fine to want to take care of your expensive shoes, but I also think it's fine to do what you want with them, including folding them or whatever. I don't think you have an obligation to treat them in any particular way. They're yours, you bought them, you can decide what to do from there. It's when your actions actually affect anyone else that I think the obligation starts.
I dislike how it’s clear he does not care about them, overall. Not just monetary value,he does not care, he just follows the newest fashion trends to get clout and that’s it. No personality whatsoever and for someone that is in the beauty industry, to be wearing sweats... Beauty is pain and I am sorry, but if you are wearing make up like that ans sweats, you lose all credibility.
yes!! I've been buying my clothes at thrift stores for years and I've definitely had people assume I have/spend a lot of money because I love thrifting vintage clothing.
My family has bought most of its' clothes from thrift stores since I was young and I just love it. Sure we could afford normal stores but it really isn't as fun! It's great when you find clothing and pieces that haven't been in stores for years or that come from indie/smaller brands or even $$$ brands and it all looks new and is different from what everybody else is wearing. I like that my clothes are "unique" as in if someone asks me "ooh where did you get that?!" I get to answer "I found it from a thrift store". I kid you not, in high school my friends eventually stopped asking me where I got my clothes and what I paid for them because the answer was almost the same every time. Sure I have clothing bought from regular stores and few new $$$ pieces, but those I have either gotten as gifts or bought with saved up money. And thrifting has saved me a lot of money over the years🤩.
Honestly, it's like none of these people even seem to have their own personal style, they just buy whatever some designer tells them they should I guess.
“If I post an instagram photo or a RU-vid video I can’t wear it again.” Princess Diana, the QUEEN of class, wore outfits over and over again, regardless of how many times she’d been seen in public or private wearing it. Take that for what you will…
I mean if you wanted to steal more than one piece it would take a lot of time. But one piece is enough to pay rent for a months/years soooo doesn't matter much I guess
something about him throwing his expensive designer Birkin on the FLOOR really rubbed me the wrong way...especially considering it's $20,000. i was taught to respect my items, no matter how much money you have or how expensive it is.
Same, I have leather purses that are much cheaper then that and I clean and condition them at least twice a year and make sure they rarely sit on the floor unless its super clean. I would never drop it on the floor like that on purpose :(
That really made me cringe. The whole tour was looking for validation - I have a Birkin! But I don’t love it! I’ll drop it if you want me to! Super pick me energy.
The reason it rubs me the wrong way is he is being disrespectful to it on purpose like a joke "haha I'm so rich I throw what would be others college tuition on the floor" I think I remember Jeffree doing the same thing. It's like they think it's funny to be disrespectful and flaunt their wealth. So obnoxious.
Ot doesn't matter how he uses his things, they are his to use how he like, but just the fact that he showcases his attitude towards those things is what irks me. He seems to me as person who will treat other people as he does that Birkin
James Charles has always had the tackiest, boring, unflattering wardrobe. His clothing is just so pointlessly revealing that attempts to be "shocking" but it's just bland and tasteless androgyny.
but like it’s hardly even androgyny. 😭 it’s either glam dude in tacky, revealing outfits (or sweats lol) or full drag. i’ve never seen him do an in between. :( he’s so boring lol
True. However, I want to know the sweat suit brand because they look like a nice heavy fabric, which is hard to find anymore because companies are using cheap flimsy fabrics to cut costs.
I get the sense that James doesn't appreciate fashion, he just looks at it as fun possessions to buy and show off. And I'm not saying you need to have a degree in design to have nice things, but like this man just threw my college tuition on the floor.
What makes me crazy is that the “can’t wear the same thing twice” rule isn’t even something people admire anymore. Everyone is so conscious nowadays of fast fashion and its impact on the planet so it looks horrible to be wasting clothes like this. But our celebrity landscape is based on hate and controversy not respect anymore so in a fucked up way he’s doing it right and just… UGH.
Yes! I don't know how james thought he would get away with that so easily when you can throw a rock out the door an hit someone talking about sustainability in fashion. Thinking like that doesn't make him seem chic or unique, he just sounds out of touch 😬
I don't comment on things often, but I'm consistently impressed with the amount of work that Luke puts into all of his videos. The historical context, the additional information about house codes and design choices, being able to reference previous works (both fashion and non-fashion items)...James Charles wasn't worth your time, but I appreciate your reaction nonetheless. I have a renewed sense of appreciation for all things fashion and history when I watch a HauteLeMode video, so thank you for that! Hardest working content creator and educator out here!
Day 2 of slowly making it out the hood: i ate burger king inside target high asfc & i smokë weed on my RU-vid channel as my job ☄️ til im out the trenches 🦅
As clearly over this "tour" as Luke clearly was, I always appreciate the little tidbits of info and bits of history that he has for us about fashion. Like, the reason behind those tabi-style boots being painted. Honestly so interesting.
You never raised your voice much above a whisper and this was one of the deepest burns I've ever seen on someone. This video slayed me. I agree, I love a fashion collection cultivated over time more than this anxious materialistic performance.
I respect Luke's side-eye game being strong enough to fuel three high school proms and a medium-sized sewing circle. Throw in the energy level being on par with knowing you have to go to the DMV after a root canal...
He sounds like this is the only thing in his mind and is doing this to impress who? People like this, no matter how expensive their wardrobe is, turn me off.
James Charles: "I don't understand how sneakerheads buy expensive sneakers and keep them in a box" Also James Charles: "I go through my closet every 3 months and get rid of everything I've worn more than twice"
@@JutaStokes honestly I hope he has them sewn in now that people know about them because even tho I don't like him I don't want some of those pieces to fall into the wrong hands. Actually maybe they would be better off not with James look at what he did to that birkin
Money can't buy you style. He went from wearing Balenciaga track suits every day to sweatshirts and pants every day. I would pay big money to see you personally give him a makeover and elevate his style.
The way he is wearing that hoodie to obviously try to be a “cool and edgy fashionista” bc he’s doing a closet tour is INSPIRING ACTUAL RAGE WOTHIN ME. He is the definition of “I’m not like other girls”
Do you not think the creator of this video is the definition of “I’m not like other girls though”? It’s giving I’m better than you because I appreciate fashion more. And what? James brings really good energy and if he’s lacking in the fashion department so be it. This clown who posted this video is giving judgmental boomer vibes.
Ok I can explain the sweatshirt "thing". In the 90's-early 2000's us Black folks & some Hip-Hop artists wore our shirts like this. In high school I remember my boyfriend always doing this, dudes playin pick up games etc. So it's another thing copied to look "cool" when you just end up looking ridiculous. Great video btw❣️
James charles is literally that girl who buys everything instagram recommends and then quotes it back at you as if “didn’t you see my new post?” no girl we don’t care it’s already irrelevant. SHE HAS NO STYLE!
I feel like neither the shes nor the hes want to claim him. None of the pronouns apply. Maybe we just refer to him as this/thing so as not to offend anyone.
The utter disdain seeping out of every pore on Luke’s body before the tour even began…I thought it couldn’t get any worse but the longer the video went on, the more I felt like we were going to witness him spontaneously combust. This was a true sacrifice you made, Luke. I’m glad I at least learned some interesting fashion tidbits in between James Charles’ frenzied babbling.
I literally still have a few pieces that I scored from TJMaxx in MIDDLE SCHOOL! I’m fuming at his wasteful approach to clothing, I mean he was problem bc of other things but this too?! How icky can one person be?! 😡🤢
I recently decided to actually put effort in my looks since I love clothes but felt self-conscious about being overdressed. But with that I saw that many of my friends who frequently bought clothes just had too many they didn't use and would resell their "old" clothes all the time. And I was just like "wait should I do that? Theses clothes still fit me, I still like them and they're perfectly wearable. But should I just resell them so I could buy new ones?" When you call yourself a "fashion lover" there's such a pressure to renew your closet it's insane
@@jackyyrag 😅 I was 5’10” by 6th grade & stopped growing (thank god) I was like “well I’m getting stared at bc I’m a foot taller than everyone, might as well give ‘em some fashion!” 🤣
I have zero fashion sense/style but I love your videos bc of the depth of history and context you bring to the pieces and brands and collections shown. From the runway to these closet tours-I always learn a little and love it!
"You can only wear something once" is unsustainable nonsense. Wear your clothes until they're falling apart or sell them so they don't just end up in a landfill. The hyperconsumerism oozes from James' pores and it's, frankly, fucking gross.
Absolutely. I will never throw away a piece of clothing unless it's beyond saving and even then I might turn it into a rag or eyeglasses cleaning cloth
I respect Jacki Aina for the fact that she has her own style. She looked amazing in her Met Gala debut. She’s a beauty brand but she matches her outfits and wigs to her elevated makeup looks. She doesn’t just plop on trendy merch like most influencers. Sometimes she incorporates her Nigerian background into her styles. We love a unique queen.
O my god you pronounced van gogh almost perfectly. You got the g sound at the end. I dont think i’ve ever heard that from an english speaker. Wel done Im gonna watch the rest of the video now
This was a beautiful disaster. I am not a James Charles fan and I just loved Luke's comments and reactions the whole time. It made me laugh so much because James Charles thinks he is still relevant and Luke is basically everyone. So great and funny.
The entire time I imagined both of them being sat next to each other at a dinner table and James asking: "Oh, so you are into fashion too?" I would seriously pay to watch that unfold. Hahaha
One of the reasons why I absolutely love Hailey Bieber and Virgil Abloh's style is that I can take inspiration from them and use the same clothes in so many styles. Timeless fashion is absolutely amazing.
The double bag trend of the early 2010s does not seed a resurgence. If I see a mini fendi bag hanging on a bigger fendi bag I’m throwing James in a tree.
As a French I love when foreigners try to pronounce French brand names, as long as you do the effort to try the correct pronunciation I won't judge if it's perfect or not But the jacquemoo got me like 😂
Something about purposefully damaging and dropping and being careless with expensive luxury items in your mansion closet full of clothes you wore once feels incredibly dystopian
Really appreciated this video. I like how you pointed out the lack of love and passion that influencers have for high fashion (and fashion in general). For them its always about what's trending and likable by a large majority of people and less about individual style.
Regarding his 'clearing out every 3 months': I wonder how you run through clothing like that and don't get attached to pieces. If you love fashion, surely you buy pieces for a reason, and then how do you just... get rid of them? I have statement pieces that I adore because they're garish and unique and I love the challenge of restyling them, rewearing is part of the joy! And then I have 'basics' that I love and wear to death because maybe its just a simple black long sleeve undershirt, but that simple black long sleeve is the softest, most comfortable, perfect universal piece that fits my weird short arms and has a neckline that I really like, etc. I'm trying to imagine how you can love fashion and not have a connection to your clothes.
Lol watching you barely hold it together was the best. I think your eyes fully rolled back into your head at one stage. Keep it up. Sitting here in New Zealand on my back porch in the sun wondering why as a 60 year old woman I am amused by all of this. Love your work!
Full disclosure: I'm wealthy. James Charles would probably kill to have my access to designer clothes, but even I find his spending habits embarrassing and self-involved. 99 out of 100 times, the more clothes someone buys and quickly cycles through, the least fashionable they are. Real style is taking a small, good quality wardrobe and being able to use different combinations and accessories to create any look you want. A zillion different pieces isn't a sense of style, it's indecision and wastefulness. Just because you can afford it doesn't mean you should buy it or support extravagant disregard. When you know yourself and your personal style, selectiveness beats excessiveness every time.
@@egyptmachine That it shows how insecure he is and that he feels he needs to display his wealth to impress others. I own several Birkins myself, so I'm not against the purchase of them. But I also recognize that the material itself is valuable and in that regard alone, damaging one is wasteful because we should at least try to keep the least amount of leathers and whatnot in circulation. It's also incredibly disrespectful to the hours of craftsmanship it takes to make each bag. That is someone else's hard work. If you want people to respect your work, respect theirs. And from a purely financial standpoint, Birkins are a great buy because they appreciate well, unlike most designer bags. I have a special closet I keep the most expensive things I own. If I were to resell any of my Birkins, even the ones I've had for nearly two decades would be marked as the best possible used condition, contain everything from the dust bags to the original receipts and bags they were bought in, etc. So basically.... I think it's incredibly idiotic to risk damaging it which in turn would hurt the resale value and disgustingly disrespectful to what goes in to making the bag itself.
OY. This was even worse than I expected. Who actually gets so excited about having that many sweatsuits? And only wearing something once? The clothes were bad, the bags were bad, and the shoes were bad (I really don’t get the Nike collaborations with big name fashion brands - I know there’s the status and collector aspect, but are they actually that much better quality than regular Nikes considering the price?). Also, James seems totally unaware about the CEO of New Balance being a big Trump supporter and contributed. You know, someone committed to taking away LGBTQIA-2S rights. Blech. I was so happy when the tour was over. Luke’s expressions said it all.
Someone's PERSONAL opinions, beliefs and views has nothing to do with the quality of a brand or the product. Look at Chanel! People still buy it because they love it. Not everything is that black and white, buddy! It's highly juvenile to not allow yourself to buy something because of a PERSONAL view someone from the brand holds. Why don't people boycott animal testing more?! That's a REAL cause that actually makes SENSE
@@eveningstar8581 It isn’t at all juvenile to spend your money in a manner that supports your own moral and ethical values. No merchant is entitled to my money.
@@eveningstar8581 it’s more than the head of New Balance’s personal views - in this case, he’s contributed directly to Trump’s campaign and other very conservative endeavors with earnings from, say, his company. Thus, NB consumers’ money is supporting those endeavors. I was pointing out the irony of what James Charles stands for and what he’s purchased. It’s just my opinion and nobody else needs to share it. Also, there’s no reason to YELL and I’m definitely not your buddy.
As someone living on extremely minimal income due to a disability, the idea that you’d buy a $20,000 bag and then decide that you’re “not really a Birkin girl” is honestly infuriating. By all means spend money on quality products that you’ll either enjoy and use or at least treat with care but throwing $20,000 worth of accessory on the floor for a gag?? No thank you.
Honestly, I’m just rlly gagged that *this* was the closet reveal. Like baby girl u have too much money to be only buying popular luxury fashion items,,, and cycling out ur closet every month with fast fashion… Like how was he not embarazzed to click upload on this video????
... literally every person I know (that's a milenial or gen z) knows what air forces look like, even people that could not care less about fashion can name them. How tf does he not know what the name of that model is??
the best part of the entire video is the damn laugh outta the sheer boredom - literally haven't ever seen this amount of just "meh bleh yeah" outta one of these videos from you haha
He’s just gross. His entire worldview is about how stuff pertains to getting him attention. J doesn’t care about the history or make of items, doesn’t care about genuinely taking care of them, can’t be bothered to get the pronunciation right for one of his “favorite brands”, and there’s no... heart. Trisha Paytas is very superficial but her closet was basically a love story about pop culture. This was just a mishmash of stuff that cost a lot of money.
Thank you for the honest and real reaction. Watching the whole thing validates that some influencers (not all) have no idea of what luxury items are and what the value they hold. Money does not equate to luxury and class.
The jumper, I can’t…. This closet tour screams “I think I’m fashion forward but in actual fact I don’t really know what that means and can’t be bothered to research the answer” I think we all had the same facial expression as Luke while watching…. Don’t even start me on dropping 20k bag like a play toy whist stating it’s in the collection / valuable closet. Congratulations on actually sitting through this Luke with commentary. I’m here for the low key sass!!
James Charles looks literally like the classical Instagram famous person that doesn’t really have a personal taste and it’s just buying expensive things because everyone else has it! Ps THANK YOU LUKE FOR PRONOUNCING “BOTTEGA VENETA” IN THE RIGHT WAY 🙏🏻🇮🇹
There's only one thing I thought of when reading the title: Get her, Jade *malicious smile* PS: I love that Luke's library is constantly expanding, we love a literate icon
😁😁😁 I read this comment and rewound back to the beginning to see if I could make out James' rolls because that line cannot be said without acknowledging some backrolls
The idea that you need to get rid of your clothes every 2-3 months because you’ve worn it more than once is what perpetuates fast fashion and causes such huge textile waste. Get timeless pieces, basic pieces that can be combined with others and stick with them
My family has bought most of its' clothes from thrift stores since I was young and I just love it. Sure we could afford normal stores but it really isn't as fun! It's great when you find clothing and pieces that haven't been in stores for years or that come from indie/smaller brands or even $$$ brands and it all looks new and is different from what everybody else is wearing. I like that my clothes are "unique" as in if someone asks me "ooh where did you get that?!" I get to answer "I found it from a thrift store". I kid you not, in high school my friends eventually stopped asking me where I got my clothes and what I paid for them because the answer was almost the same every time. Sure I have clothing bought from regular stores and few new $$$ pieces, but those I have either gotten as gifts or bought with saved up money. And thrifting has saved me a lot of money over the years🤩.
Many other influencers in his age group are pulling really great outfits like Bretman Rock and Ricky Thompson, but he's still stuck in that brand name and hype beast era
It speaks volumes that his only relationship with his clothes are the instagram pictures he wore them in and not anything related to the brand itself or the design…
