 All black one of the most worn outfits by us guys, but also one of the most botched Yeah, I know just from the intro fit alone You can tell that that fit was not good and there may be plenty of other reasons why you might be looking awkward and all black So we're gonna take your black outfits from this to this let's get into it The first reason is the shape and silhouette of your fit I want you to picture your fit as if it was back You know you got a nice sunset in the background and all that someone could see would be the silhouette of you And I want you to think about what shape with that outfit for him Now there's going to be a lot of product analogies because I'm a weirdo and I think about this all the time But take a look at this kettle that I have versus this boring ass one both are at a similar price both function the exact same But both have a different shape and design to it What makes this one stand out is its goose neck the handle while the other just has a very basic handle and a mouth So now that you understand that I think the best thing that you can do is go for a more wider fitting pants And why is this because you can change the form of your wider fitting pants? You can go for something a little more tapered You can embrace the wide fitting this you can let it lay over the sneaker wider fitting pants Just allow you to be more creative with the presentation of your fit now Think of how your tops can change shape got oversized shirts Slim fit shirts hoodies tank tops for the single layers and now for the top layers think of the difference between a bomber jacket A blazer and a coat good product design comes from a little bit of risk-taking versus playing it safe Just keep that in mind just as my new watch did a little risk-taking from Sega design the sponsor of today's video Sega design is a smaller brand, but they designed some of the coolest watches I've ever seen first off Let's start with the packaging it comes in this minimal book like box that you won't want to throw away And I just like to use it as a design element in my place You know, I like that aspect repurposing a package as a design elements You don't have to throw away way something so when taking out the watch you can tell it was inspired by futuristic cyberpunk motifs and the craftsmanship is just beautiful double skeleton design You can see the components that make up the watch and how it works That's always fascinating to see and I just love the subtle hints of orange You can tell that's kind of part of my style kind of what I'm wearing right now And so that suits me and my style very well, but they also have other colorways as well whenever it gets dark You have these lumen details you can tell the time at night. I can always appreciate that It comes with a nato strap and a silicone one and they are easily swappable I wish all watch straps were that easy to swap and once again Just take a look at that craftsmanship the precision the sharp lines I love it and a really cool detail is these corners are the hour marks So you don't have to have the text for each number really cool touch sapphire glass Waterproof and my favorite aspect about watches is how it starts a lot of conversation You know the first time I wore this I got a lot of compliments and when you wear something cool People just ask about your watch and it just starts conversation to make new friends can meet new people So pick yourself up one of these by clicking that link in the description I'll leave a link to their site and then an Amazon link if you guys want to shop by Amazon This is a great gift to treat yourself or to treat someone else and especially if you like that cyberpunk futuristic dystopian design This watch is perfect for you. Thank you see good design for sponsoring this video back to it Now the next reason why you might be looking awkward and all black is you have a lack of texture going back to product design This camera body that I'm shooting on it's all black But take a look at the texture grip so you can feel where to place your hands Take a look at this button right here as well and also think about how the camera body reflects light differently Had this camera been a matte black aluminum body no ridges no grip no anything Well, it'd be extremely boring and probably unusable. Now. This is what you want for your entire fit So play with your fabric materials leather fleece nylon cotton Whatever you can think of the different contrasts and textures plays a serious role whenever it comes to all black Now here's another example switching from a regular pair of trousers to a pair of pleated ones There is a dramatic difference like this even got me inspired with my plant pots So take a look at these two. They are the exact same shape but completely different texture wise And why is this because the light hits it differently? There's visual protrusions and ridges from the pleated details and you can get the same with your clothing Now these pants right here are iconic rip mr. Miyaki And it's so striking yet so simple that I can wear it with just a black hoodie and still have a pretty solid fit Now obviously you don't have to go fully pleated those cost a lot of money But just your standard single or double pleated trousers is Chef's kiss now I'm gonna dive a little bit deeper when we go into the fits because I have a lot of different material items that you can Keep an eye out for but we got to keep it moving now The next reason why is you're going on the deep end and only wearing all black and therefore you lack a little bit of Contrast and color if every item you wear no matter what was purely all black Let's be real it's not gonna look as good unless it has a really cool shape and I'm talking every single piece It's it's unrealistic So we're gonna go back to this camera body that I'm shooting on this has contrasts of white so that you can actually read the text The record button is red. There's an orange ring surrounding the lens mount and you would still call this camera body all black Right absolutely. Just think about it. A lot of people already don't have black hair like me So they're already not wearing all black technically the hair is a part of your fit Some people are blonde have brunette hair brown hair So instead my guideline is to just stick with 90 of your outfit being all black while the rest of your fit can be Bits of contrast and color so white or colored footwear colored beanies Tossing on a white shirt that pokes out a little bit wearing a pattern shirt with a little bit of contrast Or even a graphic top you guys get what I mean and also just take a look at these frames right here The frame of these glasses is all black, but the lenses are tinted a little bit orange So technically there's a little bit of orange popping on my fit And that right there is just enough to make your fit stand out a little bit more But the last reason and this is definitely going to ruffle some feathers The all black sneaker is not what's up in my opinion and just notice how I say sneaker I'm talking no contrast at all on the sneakers black laces black outsole these vans versus these vans This converse versus this converse you guys get the point I personally have never really liked these sneakers unless again It goes back to having a cool shape to it Kind of like these sweet coke sandals has a cool shape all black and a nice design And that's why I like a classic pair of vans You know, you got the black overall silhouettes with a little bit of white from the outsole and the laces It's still considered a black sneaker colorway, but let's just say you do want all black footwear boots are your best friend They just look better than sneakers in my opinion. Again, it goes back to a cooler shape Like who's rocking these Jordan ones? Nobody. There's definitely much better ones out there with color contrast I don't know. What do y'all think? I'm very curious And now to the fits I'm gonna explain in detail on why I think these fits work The first one involves this black crew neck right here. This one is from rosin x. Do y'all see why this stands out? There's a contrast in fabrics the nylons with the cotton and the reflective piping surrounding it It just makes this piece super unique. All right, johnny filming on another day The footage got messed up But we'll be starting with a more spring inspired fit for this one and we'll be leaning into that utility tech vibe So we'll be putting on these shorts from the homies over at the glory allen channel These shorts have everything I explained from earlier in this video. It's got texture It's got metals in a unique shape and we'll be throwing out some crew socks as well as some airmax 97s I've been enjoying these sneakers a lot for our accessories We're gonna keep it simple with a cap and jewelry from the brand lupin if you guys didn't already know I've done my own collaboration with them So go check out the ascent collection And I think these two rings really complement that motif and of course the sega watch from earlier And this is definitely a fit for the warmer climates that is coming up right now Since it's really cold. How about we swap the bottoms for some nike acg cargos and also the neck gator fits it perfectly I don't even have to wear a neck gator over my face And it's going to already add some texture and some depth to the outfit You know I'm saying we can stick to the same airmaxes and the only thing we'll add is a shell jacket And for this fit you can wear the jacket on its own or you can wear as a sling Just so you're prepared if the weather changes and this is a perfect fit for city dwellers So next let's style a fit using the isi miyaki pleated trousers And we're really going to focus on texture for this one And we're going to sway between two different fits depending on the mood First fit is a casual kicking with your homies type of fit So check out this adidas coup neck inspired by soccer goles or football If you're not in America, it has this chest pad and elbow pads Which provide a really cool shape and texture and then we got white sneakers a beanie frames And by the way, adidas makes some great garments I know a lot of us tend to gravitate towards nike, but damn people are missing out Now let's just say I'm going on a casual date with my girl I'm gonna swap the kicks for some chelsea boots and toss on this mandarin colored shirt from uniclo and a black coat This fit is as simple as it gets but it does so much It's cozy and has flow, which is something a lot of people don't really think about The coats and the trousers kind of flow as you walk This always reminds me of anakin's dark deed scene when he walks up to the temple Super badass and then as a soho type fit We're gonna keep everything fairly similar sticking to the same mandarin colored shirt But tossing on some wide fit cargoes and wearing my dock marines chelsea boots So very similar fits. We're just adding cargo pants and thickening up the chelsea boots And then we'll also swap the coats for a lighter over shirts from y3 Now i'm gonna show you a quick fit from last year We got this a cold wall jacket mixed with the nike element 55 still a good sneaker in my opinion and a two tone scarf Again, not everything has to be pure black. This is functional. Looks pretty good Has a lot of texture and for a more streetwear approach We're gonna be rolling with full richly collection bar city jackets cargo pants their slate gray shirt a trucker hat and the union jordan ones I don't wear jays as much anymore, but they definitely compliment this fit shout out to the boys out there in seattle And by the way, make sure you get yourself some lint rollers and for this last outfit It's very spring s and who said you couldn't wear slim pants I suggested wearing wide pants, but you can wear slim as well And so we're rocking some flare trousers right here along with some chelsea boots I think it's a classic almost 70s type of look and for our top We're just gonna add a tank and for a more chic look we're gonna toss on that blazer This is the perfect fit for a night out whenever it's a little warmer and those are some fits for y'all If you made it this far make sure you comment that's got flow So I know that you're cool and you watch the entire video Make sure you give this video a thumbs up subscribe to the channel and until then stay fly check out sega watches deuces
