Q & A
Why is the 20s a crucial decade for personal style development?
-The 20s are crucial for personal style development because it's a time when individuals often start taking their style more seriously, begin their careers, and take on adult responsibilities, including managing their finances and possibly getting into shape.
What is the main message of the first style tip about clothing fit?
-The first style tip emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to how clothes should fit. Different silhouettes like slim fit, regular fit, skinny fit, relaxed fit, and wide fit are all valid options, and one should not be afraid to experiment with different styles.
Why is it advised not to buy the same item in every color?
-It's advised not to buy the same item in every color because people tend to revert to their favorite one or two colors, rarely wearing the others. It's better to identify which colors flatter you the most and stick to those.
What is the rule of thumb for buying items in different colors according to the speaker?
-The speaker suggests sticking to two colors max per item and only considering a second color if the item is a wardrobe staple that will be worn repeatedly, with the exception of base layer tops like t-shirts and tank tops, where up to three or four colors are acceptable.
How does the speaker feel about following fashion trends?
-The speaker believes that while trends are not inherently bad, one should be intentional with their choices and maintain a balance between never experimenting and buying into every single trend. It's important to ask yourself if you'll still wear the item in two years if it's no longer trendy.
What is the speaker's stance on buying items just because they're on sale?
-The speaker advises against buying items just because they're on sale or cheap if you didn't genuinely want or need them in the first place. The rule is to never buy anything on sale that you wouldn't have paid full price for.
Why is it important to declutter your wardrobe regularly?
-Regular decluttering of your wardrobe is important because a cluttered wardrobe can take up mental space, making it more difficult to put together outfits and causing a negative feeling every time you open it. It also helps maintain a positive relationship with your wardrobe.
What are the benefits of identifying and investing in wardrobe staples?
-Identifying and investing in wardrobe staples ensures that you have a solid foundation of items that reflect your personal style and can be mixed and matched easily. These are the items you'll wear the most and are worth spending more on due to their versatility and frequency of use.
Why should comfort be a priority when choosing clothing?
-Comfort should be a priority because if you're not fully comfortable in your clothes, you'll end up wearing them far less or never. It's important that an item not only looks good but also feels good, and investing in higher quality natural fibers can enhance both comfort and durability.
How does one's lifestyle influence their personal style and wardrobe choices?
-One's lifestyle greatly influences personal style and wardrobe choices because it takes into account daily activities, job requirements, hobbies, and personal interests. Practicality is key, and the clothing in your wardrobe should align with your day-to-day life and allow for personal expression.
What is the recommended approach to evolving one's personal style?
-The recommended approach to evolving one's personal style is to do so slowly and intentionally. Before making a purchase, ask yourself five key questions to ensure the item is a good fit for your wardrobe, style, and lifestyle. If the answer is yes to all, wait a week and see if the desire remains before buying.
What is the significance of organizing your wardrobe well?
-Organizing your wardrobe well provides a sense of order and makes it easier to find items, plan outfits, and maintain a clear overview of your clothing collection. It also helps in being more intentional with your wardrobe and can lead to an improved style.
What is the role of the sponsor, Geology, in the video?
-Geology is the sponsor of the video and is highlighted for its skin care products, particularly the introduction of a new hair care product called the co-wash, which is designed to nourish hair and scalp without stripping essential oils.
Outlines
👕 Embracing Versatility in Clothing Fit and Style
The first paragraph emphasizes the importance of understanding that clothing fit varies and should not be confined to a single standard. Jeans, t-shirts, and even tailored suits offer a range of fits, from slim to wide, allowing for different silhouettes. The speaker encourages viewers to experiment with these options to find what suits their personal style best, rather than sticking to one type of fit or buying items in every color, as this can lead to a cluttered wardrobe with unused items.
🛍️ Avoiding Common Shopping Pitfalls for a Curated Wardrobe
This section of the script advises against several shopping temptations, such as buying items in every color just because they fit well, succumbing to every trend, and purchasing things purely because they are on sale. The speaker suggests identifying favorite colors that flatter one's skin tone and sticking to a maximum of two colors per item, with exceptions for basics like t-shirts. The importance of decluttering the wardrobe and either selling, gifting, or donating unwanted clothes to maintain a positive relationship with one's wardrobe is also highlighted.
🧴 Sponsored Segment: Introducing the Co-Wash by Geology
The script transitions into a sponsored segment featuring Geology's new co-wash product, which is a hair care innovation designed to nourish both hair and scalp without stripping essential oils, unlike traditional shampoos. The co-wash is suitable for daily use, especially beneficial for those with active lifestyles. Two formulas are available, one for dry skin and one for oily skin, and viewers are encouraged to try the product with a discount code provided.
📝 Identifying and Investing in Wardrobe Staples
The speaker discusses the importance of identifying wardrobe staples that reflect one's personal style and are versatile enough to be worn frequently. Creating a tangible list of favorite pieces in various clothing categories helps to ensure that the wardrobe is filled with items that are loved and worn often. Investing in high-quality staples is recommended, as they provide value through regular use and should be the focus of one's spending rather than on trendy pieces that may quickly fall out of favor.
🛋️ Prioritizing Comfort and Lifestyle in Fashion Choices
Comfort is paramount when choosing clothing, and one should never sacrifice it for the sake of style. The speaker advises against wearing items that are uncomfortable, even if they look good, and suggests investing in natural fibers for better comfort and warmth. Additionally, dressing for one's lifestyle is crucial; the type of work, hobbies, and daily activities should all influence the clothing choices and the composition of one's wardrobe. The speaker encourages incorporating elements of one's interests and lifestyle into their personal style for a more authentic and expressive fashion sense.
📐 Organizing the Wardrobe for Style Efficiency
A well-organized wardrobe is essential for easy outfit planning and mental clarity. The speaker shares their method of categorizing clothes by type and arranging them by color and size, with a preference for a logical and visually ordered system. This organization helps in being more intentional with wardrobe choices and contributes to an improved style. The speaker encourages finding a personal organization method that promotes efficiency and satisfaction with one's wardrobe.
🛒 Shopping Slowly and Intentionally for Style Evolution
The final paragraph stresses the importance of making slow and intentional purchasing decisions to evolve one's style. The speaker suggests a five-question checklist to evaluate potential purchases, considering factors like love for the design, styling versatility, color compatibility, fabric quality, and long-term wearability. By waiting a week after identifying an item as a potential purchase, one can ensure that the desire for the item is genuine and not just a fleeting trend or impulse. This approach helps in building a curated and timeless wardrobe.

your 20s are a crucial decade this is
when you begin your career start taking
responsibilities as an adult work on
your finances perhaps get into shape and
for many people this is a time when you
finally start taking your style more
seriously and as a man who's fast
approaching his 30s and a big fashion
Enthusiast today I would like to share
with you 10 style tips that I wish I
learned sooner in my 20s starting with
five things you shouldn't do and then 5
things that you absolutely should do
number one don't think that there is one
singular way that clothes should fit
because that isn't the case I wish it
was I wish there was just one standard
way that every item of clothing should
fit because that would make things so
much easier you would just have to find
that perfect fit in each category of
clothing and call it a day my very
logical brain would love that but the
truth is that is simply not the case
take jeans for example you can go for a
slim fit which would be deemed as the
most standard one but you can also go
for a regular fit a skinny fit a relaxed
fit a wide fit all of these are possible
options to have a different silhouette
of jeans same with t-shirts I actually
like to alternate between a slim fit tee
and an oversized one depending on the
look that I want to go for even
tailoring is now getting modernized with
looser less structured suits getting
some attention even though that's still
mostly considered as a fashion statement
rather than the norm it's nice to see
the variety of styles available today so
although there will always be a place
for classic Timeless Silhouettes do not
be afraid to experiment with different
silhouettes of clothes
number two don't buy things in every
color I know how tempting it is once you
find an item you really like when the
fit is perfect the design is perfect and
you just want to get it in every color
but trust me that is not a good idea you
don't need it in every color and what's
most likely going to happen is that
you'll just keep going back to your
favorite one or two colors that you love
most and you'll rarely wear the others
so instead figure out which colors you
love wearing the most which ones flatter
your skin the best and stick to those
colors and if you do have some sweater
that you really love in Brown let's say
and you really want to get a similar
white one at least get a slightly
different version of it with a different
texture perhaps or a different neckline
my personal rule is to stick to two
colors Max per item and only go for the
second color if I absolutely love the
item and I consider it a wardrobe staple
something that I'll wear over and over
again like jeans or a sweatshirt The
Only Exception is base layer tops such
as t-shirts and tank tops where I'll go
up to three or four colors
number three don't buy into every Trend
this should be common knowledge but as
much as we all know that it's not a good
idea to fall into Trends it's sometimes
hard not to be influenced by everything
that we see on social media on our
favorite celebrities and in pop culture
in general even if it's on an
unconscious level you're bound to be
somewhat influenced by what's considered
trendy at the moment with that said I
don't think Trends are necessarily a bad
thing or that you can never wear
something trendy I think you absolutely
can see something that you feel is cool
and trendy you like how it looks you
experiment with it and then implement it
into your own style however try to be
intentional with your choices there is a
balance between never experimenting and
buying into every single Trend a good
little tip that I like to use is ask
yourself before you buy anything and you
have to be honest with yourself do you
really think that you will keep wearing
that item at this time in two years if
it's no longer the cool thing to wear if
the answer is yes go for it number four
don't buy some thing just because it's a
bargain many times in my life and I know
some of you will relate to this many
times I have impulsively bought items
that I didn't need just because they
were on sale or because they were cheap
and I thought why not this is such a
good deal it's worth it but it's not it
is not worth it if you genuinely did not
want it in the first place so my rule
now is to never buy anything on sale
that I wouldn't have paid full price for
number five don't keep clothing that
doesn't suit you you should be doing a
check-in with your wardrobe every six
months at least and if there are things
that no longer suit your style that you
never wear it's probably time to get rid
of them it might not seem like a big
deal at first but having a cluttered
wardrobe can take up so much mental
space making it more difficult to put
together outfits in the morning and it's
just not a good feeling to see a
wardrobe with pieces that you don't love
every time you open it you want to have
a good positive relationship with your
wardrobe also when you declutter your
wardrobe please try to either sell your
clothing get give them to friends or
family or donate them to charity so that
it doesn't end up in a landfill
somewhere fashion is not the most
environmentally conscious industry so by
not throwing your clothes in the trash
you are helping on a small scale with
little effort and you can even make some
money back by selling it fashion is one
of the tools in your toolbox to improve
your style and your appearance but the
best outfit won't help much if your hair
is a mess or if your skin looks bad so I
want to take a quick moment to talk to
you about our sponsor geology as you
know geology is the king at keeping your
skin looking clean healthy and spotless
they've also just launched a brand new
product specifically for your hair the
co-wash this product is a game changer
the co-wash is not a shampoo it's not a
conditioner it's not a two in one it is
a hair care product formulated to
nourish not only your hair but also the
skin underneath it and most importantly
it does not strip the skin away from its
essential oils like most shampoo so
unlike shampoos which you shouldn't
really be using every day the co-wash is
great for daily washes for example
people if like me you're trying to get
back on that Fitness routine exercising
and getting sweaty every day you can use
this for daily washes and leave the
shampoo for a less frequent deep clean
once or twice a week the co-wash has two
formulas to fit your individual needs
one for more dry skin the smoothing
co-wash and one for more oily skin the
cooling co-wash I'm using the cooling
co-wash since my skin tends to be more
oily this has been selling like crazy
since it launched and for good reason
you can check it out by going to the
link in the description and you can use
code 1020 for 20 off on your purchase on
the co-wash or any other individual
products now back to our style tips
number six do identify your wardrobe
Staples I think we've all been through a
moment when you open your wardrobe and
struggle to put a good outfit together
because you realize you don't even like
half of the stuff in there this
naturally happens when your style
evolves or if you buy things too
impulsively or fall into Trends as we've
spoken about so in order to avoid this
scenario create a list of wardrobe
Staples that reflect your personal style
I like to write things down so in a
tangible way this could look something
like this create a different category
for each type of clothing and write down
your favorite pieces in each category
for example in tops I would say
oversized YT and pants I would say
straight fit jeans gray sweat pants and
smart trousers in outerwear I might say
long coats you ideally want to have at
least one item per category but probably
not more than three maybe four remember
we're talking about your core wardrobe
Staples here once you have your list
down these are the items that you should
invest in the most because the trendy
piece that you'll only wear a handful of
times not a good idea to spend a lot on
that but a wardrobe staple that you'll
wear time and time again and essentially
live in now that is worth spending on
from there you should be building the
rest of your wardrobe around these
staple items meaning that anything else
you buy you should be able to mix and
match seamlessly with your wardrobe
Staples
number seven do put Comfort above all
never sacrifice comfort as much as you
think that sweater looks incredible on
you and you'll deal with the fabric
being a little bit itchy that the shoes
will for sure loosen up a bit that those
pants aren't that tight trust me if
you're not fully comfortable in your
clothes you'll end up wearing them far
less if not never so do not sacrifice
comfort just because you really like an
item it might look good but it also
needs to feel good if you can afford to
an emphasis on this if you can afford to
invest a little bit more to get a
sweater made from good quality natural
fibers like wool or even cashmere not
only is it going to be more comfortable
on your skin it's also going to keep you
warmer than the cheaper polyester
versions and if it's a little stretch in
your budget in my opinion I would rather
have one high quality sweater that's
been well designed with a great
silhouette and construction rather than
three cheaply made sweaters with subpar
Fabric and bad construction
[Music]
number eight do dress for your lifestyle
take into account every element of how
you lived your day-to-day life what is
your job do you have a dress code to
respect what are your hobbies or how do
you spend your time outside of work do
you often go to venues where you need to
be dressed smart or are you a major
homebody all of these elements should
impact your style and influence the kind
of clothing that you'll have in your
wardrobe because you need to be
practical after all if you're working a
finance job on Wall Streets you're going
to need a handful of Suits shirts and
dress shoes whereas if you work in a
creative field maybe the bulk of your
wardrobe is more casual and you can be
more playful with it in any case
although your occupation will have a
considerable impact on your wardrobe
that doesn't mean that you can't have a
completely different style outside of
work if you so desire you could be an
investment banker during the day and DJ
during the night or a marketing
executive during the week and a ballroom
dancer on the weekends I think it's
quite cool when someone takes little
parts of their life the affinities they
have and incorporate those elements
effortlessly in their wardrobe for
example someone who's really into nature
and the outdoors might choose to
incorporate more hiking shoes or
techware or more rugged pieces into
their everyday wardrobe or someone who
loves a certain style of art or painting
might translate that into their style
through geometrical shapes or a dominant
color palette style is meant to be
personal it's probably why they call it
personal style so consider your
interests and lifestyle When developing
your fashion it's fun it allows you to
be creative and express yourself which
is what style is all about
number nine do organize your wardrobe
well there is no better feeling than
having a clean tidy well-organized
wardrobe where everything is visible
color coordinated and you know exactly
where each item is there are different
ways to organize your wardrobe but what
I like to do is to separate my clothing
into categories so t-shirts on one pile
one pile for sweatshirts one pile for
hoodies one pile for knitwear all
jackets and coats are on hangers as well
as shirts and pants are also on hangers
everything is then ordered by color and
size of the item and when I say size I
don't mean small medium Etc I mean how
large the item is so Slimmer slash
shorter slash lighter items would be
placed on the top or on the left and the
more oversized longer heavier items
would be placed on the bottom of a pile
or on the right stored horizontally my
colors start with the neutrals white
Grays black beige brown then the
non-neutrals this is roughly how I like
to organize my wardrobe I'm sure it
might seem a little over the top at
first to some of you but my logical
slightly OCD brain loves having things
organized logically and optimally you
don't have to do it this exact way of
course but I would definitely recommend
finding some way that works for you and
keeps your wardrobe organized you will
free up so much mental space and you'll
start being more intentional with your
wardrobe which will then Ripple into
your style improving
and number 10 do by slowly and
intentionally this could be the most
important tip of the video once you've
identified and built your staple
wardrobe you're dressing for your
lifestyle with an organized decluttered
wardrobe and you're being mindful of
your purchases not buying into every
Trend or every bargain the natural next
step in your style journey is to keep on
evolving experiment here and there
discover new brands Fabrics Silhouettes
however my advice and I strongly believe
in this is to do that evolving and
experimenting slowly and intentionally
when you see an item you like answer
these five questions do I really love
this piece for the design of it and not
just because it's the cool new trend of
the moment will I be able to style it
with my current wardrobe in at least
five different outfits do I like the
color of it have I worn this color
before and will it mix and match well
with my current Wardrobe does the fabric
look like it's high quality and will I
honestly wear this in two years time if
you answer yes to all five of these you
still don't buy it you put it in your
wish list or save the URL you wait one
week and if you still want it in seven
days then and only then you make the
purchase I sometimes keep things in tabs
for weeks before pulling the trigger and
sometimes I realize I don't actually
love it or need it as much as I thought
I did I would highly recommend everybody
to apply this tip because it is a game
changer and those were my 10 style tips
that I wish I learned sooner in my 20s I
hope you enjoyed the video guys I hope
you learned a thing or two that you'll
apply and if you did please share this
video with a friend that might enjoy it
as well thank you again to geology for
sponsoring the video go to the links in
the description to check out their new
co-wash as well as their skin care my
friend I wish you a beautiful day and I
will see you in the next one
that it's not a good idea
from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse the dog I
don't have a childhood oh yeah good
point
I'm really gonna start rapping and most
importantly it does not strip the skin
away from its essential oils
like a lot of shampoos do so unlike
shampoos which you should really be
using every day
