I spend 45 minutes making fits before I walk out the house and leave looking worse than when I woke up.

Came here to learn about fashion but you got me learning how to be a vigilant and responsible consumer,. Thank you for your service.

Do the thug shaka

I wish there was a version of this channel for women’s fashion :((( These videos are so entertaining with actual good nuggets of information thrown into the jokes if you’re looking for that Banger as usual

Genuinely*, THANK YOU. I needed to hear this to snap my little scared pea brain out of continually over-complicating how I choose clothes and develop my style without feeling like a slave to trends.

i know you’re in a vibe of teaching people how to get there but i personally love when u speak about tendencies or new aesthetics like… i always take something cool from it to try

Nice cant wait to see why my wardrobe sucks in the middle of the night!

Another banger. Also I was a prom season temp at Men’s Wearhouse a few years back, and you can totally go into stores like that and get your measurements. Maybe throw them like five or 10 bucks for their trouble. You do have to talk to people, but It’s a fun experience don’t worry

People should START caring about quality, actually. Because it turns out when you spend that extra money on a t shirt, a pair of denim, a flannel, a beanie, that are made better by people who care about the industry, you're not as willing to just landfill it and throw it away. Not only that, but because it's made better, IT WILL LAST MUCH LONGER. The character of the clothes will be more you, and you'll love wearing the clothes as opposed to just feeling like you have to wear em and try to make a style. Brands like Warehouse, UES, American Trench, Freenote Cloth, 3Sixteen, Gitman Vintage, Studio d'Artisan, Viberg, and so many more, they care about what you wear. Maybe give Shein and Uniqlo less of your money, and the boutiques that sell the brands I just mentioned, more of it. Not caring about quality has led us to have this video be made, if you think about it.

Your videos are amazing, never thought fashion and comedy could fit so well together 😂

I never could watch fashion stuff on yt but you teach fashion stuff and also make it entertaining

I love your vids been watching you for ever you’ve changed my whole look on fashion

Recently, I've been trying to go back to old wardrobe items to see if I still love the piece. If I don't, then I'm listing it on my depop (because I'm broke as fuck right now).

I think most of expensive fashion is designed specifically to represent the purpose of communicating with your desired social group. There are no reasons in mind to buy a black tshirt of an expensive brand over a good tshirt of cheaper brand if not to say something someone. Some pieces have a specific shape , design and thought that is unique to that brand. But no one can convince me that an all star or any adidas shoe of the same design of a rick owens will have different impact when it comes to the aesthetic and design of what you are wearing. Fashion is a form of cultural and societal expression which it tell me that a lot of the purpose of a expensive wardrobe is not related to design or your liking of the piece but to communicate and establish where do you belong in a society group. A fashion statement or decision (which bring us to the iykyk) is a message that can only be deciphered by other members of that specific society. If a message has no receiver, what is the point of the message then?

This video is a pretty good summary of everything I’ve learned about style in the last few years. I’ve really improved and love where I’m at right now.

Haven't watched a video of yours in a year or maybe a couple now I think, decided time to check it out again and damn man, you have gotten in much better shape. You look good, congrats on that!

This is a really great video, layered so you get insights according to your level of comprehension. I really enjoy the way you do this in your videos!

as a 5'5" guy, not finding well fitting clothes is why I dont dabble in fashion much, as its almost impossible, esp. if you wanna go with "designer" clothes, as those are designed for people literally >2/3' taller lmao. For pants I figured out the hack of buying "cropped" ones, which fit me like a regular for most people. But for shirts, jackets n shit, I have not found a good option, since I dont wanna spend 3x the money on brands like peter manning, and manually cropping normal clothes can ruin the proportions.

FrugalAesthetic is the only one making me watch the sponsered part of the video, by pure respect. Thank you for putting it in the end of the video.

you're on such a journey bro seeing you grow

You influence my style so hard and I relate to a degree that concerns me. I’ve been a viewer for a while love the vids man 👌.

fit is the most important thing. absolutely agree. cheap, expensive, low quality or high, if it fits you perfectly, you'll wear it.

You actually stress me out with these videos to the point all I wear now is jeans and a white tee 🤠🖤thanks

One of my best fitting jeans with a color I like are a pair of Walmart George brand that I got for like 15 bucks. They're comfy too so I have 0 complaints.

i noticed you look super different & more fit lately, happy for you! love the vids man & keep it pushin

colours of basics too! i wish i knew earlier that certain colours don't compliment my autumn undertones, e.g having a 'basic black tee' that just looks bad on me because it washes me out.

The screen shot helped a ton lol thanks. Been trying to figure out my measurements for a while now lol

Bruh u absolutely right about the fitment!

Here to support your good vibes and good looks message about measurements!

As lame as it may look, i genuinely just go for quality, fit, and longevity over anything. If it fits well, it made well, and will only get better overtime, then it’s good in my opinion (granted, i do a lot of work and am very active day to day. I used to be into the high fashion and designer stuff (walking around in crazy shit is not fun lol), but after some simple research and understanding the input costs, labels and brand names make me laugh at what i used to buy. Example, helmut lang tees. I bought one on sale bc it was $35!?!?! Came in the mail, and it fits horrible, “dry clean only,” and the print feels like a sticker that was heat-pressed on. Maybe i “dont get it” or “cant appreciate it” but i do feel like i can appreciate quality. Dont get me wrong, the shirt is nice but lord is it heavy. Quality ≠ weight. Wish more people understood that. And it also fit horrible. Great video with pretty much every point you need when buying clothes, not even just “basics.” Regardless of cost, if i can see myself wearing it a lot and it fits my body and rather plain style, then its a purchase i dont mind making.

My style is similar to yours in some ways and I love some of the New Balances but in my actual wardrobe I’m rarely wearing them..Also agree fit is everything. If it doesn’t fit perfect it’s usually a pass for me. I know I won’t wear that item much

It’s really just hilarious how you used the Wii Sports song for the SquareSpace ad break. Crazy that it’s even allowed.

i only wear oversized stuff so the better fit stuff is like kinda a miss for me but everything else is spot on man thank you!!

taking measurements from the stuff that fits you nicely is such a big brain move

I have to teach an English class on fashion next semester at a college here in China, this video is going to BLOW their minds.

Bro I could tell you’ve been working out before you showed that clip. Like when you were showing how the black shirt fits I was like dam those arms looking good 👍

Always excited to see Frugal Aesthetic in my youtube notifs.

Dude were you a uni professor in your previous life? Your content is so interesting that it’s like educational

now that its summer and i cant just wear black boots everyday i really need this channel

He’s so right cause two years ago I wanted to get into baggy clothes but they didn’t fit right so I thought it wasn’t for me. Now that I’m older and want to get back into baggy clothes I found stuff that fits and now I feel more confident and realized that I look better in baggy than skinny clothes

Needed this video. This channel is the crinacle equivalent of fashion videos.

Not feeling sneakers much lately too but idk where to turn tbh

Just went thrifting and now i’m watching this video, re-thinking about my decision

i fell in love with these black and white protection pack 1906r’s. got them. now hate them. just gonna have to wait till winter i guess

I love my few essentials pieces fr, so cozy

I just dropped a brick of my paycheck on some Wales Bonner Sambas on Wednesday, WHY did you have to put one in the thumbnaillllllll?? My brother in Christ, Let me escape fashion purgatory just once :( :( :(

The fundamentals/basics are true across many things. If you switch terms, this could be a video about producers and sound selection. Or designers and fabrics.

Bro this is exactly the video I needed, I’ve been starting to work on my fashion and I was tryna find some good basics

I'm still try-and-erroring my essentials. Took me some time to finally settle on uniqlo airism shirts. I'm still looking for some basic, well fitting black shorts. Also basic white shoes.

a very annoying thing is that many online stores don't provide the body length of tops, which is the most important for me

just got some margiela silver tabi derbies from the ssense sale so perfectly timed

6:41 this shit is the funniest stock image i ever seen. Been laughing at it for like 10 minutes, had to catch my breath to comment this. 😂😂😂

You’re funny 😂 the quality part had me😂😂😂

Blue Jeans , White shirt and Sneaker master race 😂😂😂😂 ! Worked in the 50s … works today

The editing on this one is sick

i keep pics of all my clothes on a big png in photoshop, and i add pieces im thinking ab buying onto it to see if theyll work.

You make the fucking best videos I stg and u have helped me push my fashion to new levels, so thank you ❤️❤️

You should start a series: get fit for better fits

You’re such a king it’s undescribable

bro this is one of the best vids on your channel

Yo Christian should do a video on wardrobe essentials

This is such great advice

GREAT VIDEO CHIRSTIAN !!! 😃

Every video contradicts the one before it yet it's fun to watch

keep spitting that fiyah, im lost and need direction

Bless the youtube algo for recommending this video. I needed this rn lol

Excellent video. Everyone should see it before they go shopping!

i love living in a forever hot coastal city because my essentials are just big ass dumb short sleeve button up and shorts and i'm living my best life in them

you're my favorite clothing philosopher

This one is such a banger oml

i’ve genuinely had the same rotation of pants for a bit over a year now i can’t find any that fit me normally how i want wm😭

your audio is amazing bro how do you edit

facts ............. my whole wardrobe is built around versatility

Nice lifts bro

Great content as usual my G

Thank you for showing us your perfect form

LETS FUCKING GOOOO IM READY TO BE SKEWERED FOR MY BASICS

Do you have any recommendations for blank hoodies, preferably with no strings?

i got school in 2 days and my favorite pair of pants no longer fit how they did before, and they're hand me downs so I doubt I'll find another one like it easily

Preachhhhh. Good content

Banger as always

bro was going crazy in practice can’t imagine the realm of bros theories

Hearing all that experience you had in your mind from another guy, that's just a, ehm, relief bro.

Wearing the leather gats would make more sense then something like 2002r seeing as they are more flat so gives better footing

I love you this is the best content I have ever laid my eyes on

This video was a good factor in making my school fit

Could you tell how to apply measurements? Numbers of your body should be the same on shirts and pants ?

Wonderful video dude

God damn the runescape transition was crazy

Here's my example of theory vs. practice on choosing jeans over long cargo pants: Theory - I need a lot of pockets to store my EDC gear Practice - Too many pockets is a hassle for washing, and it's also a haske i taking stuff in and out of the pockets when I switch to a clean pair. Conclusion - I chose jeans and have my gear in a small EDC bag.

even tho this is about clothes, it’s also kinda life advice at the same time

“Babe wake up Frugal Aesthetic made a new video”

Thinking of moving to another city so I can wear my sweaters and jackets cause summer lasts like 3 seasons where I live

making shopping another source of existential crisis

so now i think about throwing away half of my wardrobe

I have too much shit I don't wear, and shit I wear too much.

man you hit everything on the head. we're looking at a living style philosopher in the flesh ladies and gentleman

This guy is so smart. Love him
