WHY YOU LOOK BAD IN COLORED CLOTHING 

for the record i really like hasan but a fit is free real estate

For once, Hasan doesn't get away with it.

An undervalued factor with skin tone is your undertone, the sort of lower glowing tone beneath your base skin tone. Matching your colors to be complimentary to that helps alot

Me, who only wears black, white and very low saturation colours, seeing this in my feed is a godsend

i've nearly replaced all my tshirts with those uniqlo oversized airism tshirts. super comfortable and they come out with nice colors. H&M not as good, but their essentials line also has good colors and comfortability on a budget if youre looking for tshirts, hoodies, crewnecks

It’s wild I can get clowned on, and also receive useful information about color theory all in the same video. Thank you Frugal 🐸

1. You're right that there are no ugly colors. Color needs context. It depends on what the color is used on, and it depends on what colors it's paired with. The color that's voted "the ugliest color in the world" is a sort of dark greenish brown. On it's own, it's not super appealing. It's exquisite in leather, and you see it reasonably often in museums because Old Masters look amazing on it. People who say that there are ugly colors, don't know how color works. 2. If you want to pair colors and don't know where to start, you want to think about saturation. You can pair more or less any two colors together if they have the same saturation. Plum and deep sage are gorgeous together. So are lavender and mint green. Neon blue and magenta play well together. So do baby blue and powder pink. Colors that are opposite in saturation also play well together. Plum purple and pale pale mint green are lovely together. So are deep burgundy and pastel yellow. Colors get to be challenging to combine when you start mixing midtones, or murky colors with bright colors. Admittedly, the most gorgeous color combinations are usually the ones that almost don't work, but that takes practice. 3. Not all neutrals are created equal. You have to pay attention to the undertones. Unless you're really going out on a limb and putting together a really artistic combination, cool neutrals look better with cool colors, and warm neutrals look better with warm colors. "Neutrals go with everything" is the biggest lie going. 4. Once you've figured out which colors work best on you, don't really deviate from them. It's always better to have fewer pieces that are super easy to mix, than having a lot of pieces that only work with a few other pieces. Unless you're someone who likes to mix seventeen colors into an outfit, pick a few and don't deviate from them, unless you're buying something super special, like a statement piece. Don't feel like you need to do all of the colors to do color.

0:09 bro rip to hasanabi getting absolutely ratio'd by frugal aesthetic like this. we're praying for you

thanks for these tips, i will continue to wear all black

hasan still getting roasted for the gucci shirt

I don’t look bad in anything.

Another thing to think about is chroma. All of those big, primary color chairs you showed have clear chroma with no gray in the color. Muted chroma would be the color wheel with gray added. Think dusty pink, steel blue, oatmeal, khaki green… some people will look really good in those colors esp if bold colors look “off” on you

Always a good time when he uploads

as a person who wears so much color, i approve this message. also another good tip is to start from plain colored stuff, don't go straight to patterns

to go deeper into wearing colors. skin undertones will play a role in how colors look on you.

love your perspective on style. trial and error, no shortcuts, truth man

Most of these photographs has a colour complementary scheme with the background, that's the reason why it looks sort of harmonious, to create contrast if you will, it's not coincidence, it's a strategy used by photographers and artists, maybe if they're on different environments some would probably look goofy. just sayin.

What im so thankful for my freshman year I took a design seminar class and it taught you sooo much about hue and color and color schemes. That's what people need to know is color schemes. Monochromatic, tertiary, analogous, etc.

These were some really good tips. Keep uploading Christian, you’re my favorite fashion RU-vidr out there 🙏

I think this is probably one of your best videos you've made yet. I've always liked how you base all the information in your videos off of some seemingly unrelated abstract concept but I think you pulled it off best here by a decent margin. The tips and advice are as usual really good, but you really took everything else to the next level, and that's why your videos have so much appeal, its always so much more than clothes and so much more than fashion. You're a great entertainer and creator Christian, keep it up!

i honestly love wearing 100% monochromatic (warm) yellow its very out there but so is my personality so it fits! or just warm colours and light ones :) browns, oranges, beige, different yellow shades, very analogous vibes :D i usually pair with docs. black ones, dark red or black with dark green peeking through.

Advice for the folks at home; If someone is going out of their way to point out a piece of clothing you enjoy, or finding joy in, or just plain like wearing, and proceeds to act as if your wearing of the fabric is somehow "wrong," not of any moral compulsion but judging you based on its perceived quality, don't pay 'em any mind. Chances are, their tastes and yours simply aren't compatible. It's not even a malice thing on their end, either, it's just that you'd probably just make yourself sad and uncomfortable trying to realign yourself to suit their needs. Wear what you want, and keep the wacky shirts.

i think something really overlooked when composing a colourful outfit is texture. you could have the nicest colour combination ever but if the fabrics don't mesh (sorry) texturally the fit is just gonna look off, even if it theoretically should be nice

As a guy who always wears flower shirts, this is a pretty cool guide.

In terms of color theory and stuff, with complimentary colors its good to not have it equally all be two different colors. Try to make one color dominant and have pops of the other color. Or if you do want it to be even, try to mute the saturation of one of the colors. But of course all rules can be broken so if it looks good it looks good.

bro wants segregated clothing 😭😭😭

This is one of your best videos. Color matching is a fundamental concept of design and it’s applicable to so many things outside of fashion

I'm glad you pointed out monotone outfits. I've seen people with shoes having to have some color with the matching top and bottom. I think sometimes the brightest part of the outfit should stand out and the rest needs to be basic.

i don’t look bad in colored clothing, but i will watch this anyways

I need summer fashion advice. 90% of these nice looking fits are several layers deep and meant for winter.

As a person that rarely buys black, it makes me happy to see a video on color 💕

you didn't have to do my boi hasan like that hahahaha

You see… the problem I have here is that I would love to dress like these examples you give, but I live in a very warm place. The weather leaves me with very little styling options.

Skin tone alone is not as important as UNDERtones tbh. Once you know what colors look good on you (because of your undertones) then you can know what colors will look good together with color theory

Ever since I've been watching your videos, my fashion has been leveling up

damn hasan caught all the coachella fit strays in this one lmaoo. great vid as always frugal!

I'll never forget when i paired a pink hoodie, blue jeans and a pair of timberlands, this was one of the school days where we didnt have to wear uniform. I looked in the mirror several times and somehow my brain tricked me into thinking that fit was hard, when i got on the bus i realized i fucked up. and then on the other side of the spectrum, i went to write my learner's permit test thing and i paired this kinda dark blue almost green looking shirt wit a small bit orange and yellow wit this pair of cuff pants that were timberland colour (sorry im not good wit colour terminology) and a cool pair of black and white checkered pair of vans. When i say this fit was so effortlessly perfect, i mean it. Never again shall i wear the pink hoodie and timberland combo, no one cared but i knew that fit was trash

I got my colors done for my birthday a few years back and honestly I cannot recommend it enough!! It tells you what colors look best on you and it all has to do with the tones in your skin and science stuff. Im an autumn so warm, earthy, vibrant colors look best on me (forest green, coffee, brick) and make my skin glow because of the tones in my skin. If I wear cool colors like sky blue, lavender, black, that stuff make me look very pale and not as awesome. So please, get your colors done!! It’s the best thing you can do for your wardrobe

Why you gotta do Hasan like that😭😭

Chris editing is so meta

vids like this really got me wanting to step out of my exclusively red black and white color scheme. literally everything i wear with any regularity is greyscale and bright red, i gotta get some contrasting colors that are actually flattering on me bc right now brown is adventurous for me lmao

Since i lost weight ive been LITERALLY STUDYING this channel. Thank you Christian

No joke, trail and error is EVERYTHING. Great vid brother. ✌️

adding a colorful beanie is my fav way to incorporate color. or even colorful shoes and accessories 🤌

I focus more on jewellery and do like femboy styles too but I also tend to wear vairous styles of clothes. Sometimes the classic blue shirt and grey coat like that business aesthetic , sometimes white long sleeves shirt or crop tops and open shirt. color combining is all about experiment,. I sometimes just black out - black wears , sometimes i realize black is good to mix with other colors. black just feels difficult not to wear.

not the receptionist matching amazingly with the lobby

One day I decided I hated yellow, white, pink, red and purple and threw out all clothing of those colors. Everything I wear now is green, black or brown, with some small amount of blue. 90% of my clothes are green. Someday I hope to make it 100%. I don't even look good in green, it brings out a yellow corpse like tone in my skin. But I don't give half a skinny curled up at the end dog shit about that. I like the color, it makes me happy. Typical outfit: sage green boots, emerald green socks, brown or olive drab jeans or corduroys, *always* tucked into the socks, leather belt, grey or black tee, kelly or emerald green flannel or hoody, hunter green or tan fedora with green beaded tassels, green bandanna (dozens of shades), black canvas or leather purse. I want to look like a cartoon character. Snufkin is my style icon.

My favorite colors combos for outfits: purple + orange black + pink white + tan (brown) They look and feel fresh and different.

My number 1 fear is Christian using one of my fits in his cringe fits montages

I was at the part where you said “I think the best thing that I keep in the back of my head when styling with color is this phrase right here-“ then it cut to an ad for Forever 21 in big bold letters

My money don't jiggle jiggle, it folds

I mean it feels like it's worth mentioning that these are also all professional photographs of people with studio lighting and probably a makeup/wardrobe team behind the scenes.

The Freddi Fish hoodie god damn

I agree with every tip you just mentioned. Especially as an artist. But idk, I don't resignate with all of the out there examples you show.

all black fit is best

Hasan is low key one of my favorite content creators and yeah, he even admits that his showing at coachella was a major flop, but it's really cool and insightful to hear why his fits didn't work. Excellent work on this one again bud, hopefully this makes it over to his react streams!

j cole slander will not be tolerated

Christian speaks so we listen. All the memes aside his actual inputs for style are on point.

WE LOVE LEAN 💜

Love the take and clarity of language in this.

4:56 ha I have the jacket of these pants , I get so many questions and compliments when I wear it but it’s loud af and even though a lot of my wardrobe is these colors it can come off as too much matching , but anyways I got for like 90% off cuz no one wanted it for the original price 😅

This channel is fantastic can’t believe I’m just discovering it

I love shortcuts. What a cawinkadink

Colour is my everythinggggg

I look good in colored clothing but I still watched this 😤

Was just stopping by your channel like 3 hrs ago wondering where a new video would be. Came back to YT right now and here one is. Hell yeah.

Yo, the Freddy the Fish hoodie. Nostalgia 🔥

Complimentary color does not necessarily mean colors go well together. It just means they make each other pop out. They serve as contrast. Using complimentary color pairings is probably too loud for most people to feel comfortable

Completely disagree with orange going easily with everything. Orange sucks

my guy went in on the colour theory sheeeeesh

Bro Hasan is dripped out tho

Why is this useful!!! I want the regular stuff

ngl i fully expected the ad read there and so did everyone else who wasn’t asleep at the wheel

why you do hasan like that ma boy

9:52 I liked the dude in the Pink Tommy Jeans sweatshirt. He looked really dope.

I'm someone that tends to just buy black, grey, or brown clothes but, I love color. Tees are a great way to add something fun 😊

This such a great thorough yet quick video. I have been wearing like the same 8 or so outfits lately. Mix and match style. I have generally pale skin (enough that I can't wear make up with blue in it bc then I look dead, I think it pulls out veins) and dark hair, eyes, brows so I am pretty aware of like contrast and balance as far as that. My fav neutrals are often darker grays over black, white or light grey. I don't own a bunch of tans I typically have more browns bc im, as stated, pale. My go to lazy, I don't fit in anything lately, outfits are typically Sweats, men's tees, leggings, sweater, maybe a hoodie. They follow a lot of these rules without much effort. The color pairings made me think of an outfit I should definitely try that's like a grey graphic long-sleeved with the graphic being off white and a very yellow green and a blush pink corduroy skirt. I love that combo lately in so many other things I jsut haven't tried it in clothes bc im in a bit if a rough spot with my body lately and not feeling super experimental. I also think that reds and blues can totally be neutrals in the right outfits. I di so many arts in college and a rule from interior design that I think is also helpful in fahsion if you're lost is to stick to 2 or 3 main colors. Ideally 2 main colors and one accent color. It's an amazing place to start until you know how to break the rules in the best ways. BTW neutrals do not count in this rule. As an example a pink a brown outfit with green accessories is nice but for my outfit to try the grey in my shirt is neutral so my main colors are the green and pink. I could add navy accessories or white accessories. It's all based on the color combos and how colors interact. In my design course we did a project for theory that was helpful for this concept where you had one color and showed how it changed when used on top of 2 dramatically different colors. The relationship is important not just the color separately. Its also why im so indecisive when I'm desmy crochet blankets lately. Anyway I'm rambling

love that youre just roasting hasan half the video

Probably your best video yet. I was gonna bring up using the color wheel but I’m glad I waited till the end.

i love how hassan is in there twice

I will not tolerate the J Cole slander

"Green and brown" DAMN didn't know shaggy actually knew what he was doing with his ONE fit all this time!

man, this is one of the best channels in yt, it's funny, educational and pretty great overall. qq for all of you out there: what accounts do you follow for inspiration? I'm trying to get better at this

wearing all black or almost all black makes me happy. i like having a bit of color sometimes, that doesn't get old got me. i have tried to change it up with color and patteren but i have felt like i was wearing a costume. im very pale. i get the you look like youre going to a funeral comment, or youre too old to be goth or black looks harsh against your skin tone but i dont care. i suppose i liken myself to the atheistic of julian sands in the movie warlock.

Wow you reached a million subs, congrats

whatchu talkin bout Christian i look balling in colored clothing

the amount of shots fired at the end 😂😂 will forever be subscribed to this channel

40 seconds ago? we out here

Professor Frugal back at it again

All I wear are neutral-colored shorts (Usually khakis), flip-flops, and a bold-colored Hawaiian shirt every day, 24-7.

I ain't even into fashion, He's just entertaining

The yearly j Cole disses trigger me… but imma keep watching

Herman Miller went crazy in that lobby

Best bet: one pattern. One solid colour. The pattern has some of the solid colour in it. The accessories are whatever the other colour was. For example. Green and pink patterned shirt. Pink pants. Green sunglasses. Plus you can add one other colour that is not distracting. That means black, white, or a colour that is subtle and goes easily with the other two colours. In this case it would be white, gold, black, brown, or if you're feeling fruity, a dash of yellow. The most important thing is that the overall look is balanced.

haven't been this early since I came out the womb before I was due
