 Yo yo what's happening fellas welcome back to the channel. How are you doing today? You good? Because I know you saw the title and thumbnail and you're probably really furious and ready to pounce on me. I'm not saying I'm never going to wear it again. I love my skinny denim. Yeah, we got seven days a week. I still wear it once a week or so so you shut your But also I am just a kid from a small town my opinions and perspective really shouldn't matter So take my story and my experience with the grain of salt see if it applies to you And if it helps cool. How about you help your boy out turn that like button blue so the YouTube algorithm gods can show Love to this channel and if it doesn't still hit the like button and just click off this video Okay, so let's talk about why I stopped wearing skinny denim all the time And why you should maybe consider dropping it a few times a week and real quick I just want to let you guys know that this video is sponsored by black tailor It was my start into getting out of my comfort zone and trying new fitments of clothing and aesthetics We're gonna talk about them at the end of the video. But yeah, let's get right into it Okay, so the first reason why I stopped wearing it is because the same reason why I stopped wearing fitted tops It was a mindset hindrance and by the way damp some people really didn't like that video Here's the thing with fashion all of this is subjective fashion is everyone's own perspective, right? But anyways as a reminder of my fitted clothes phase that I always like to make fun of I only wore fitted clothes because that Was what was ingrained in my head since I started watching style YouTube menswear was massive around 2010 to 2014 And we all know that menswear is all about fitted clothes and more fitted clothes nothing wrong with that There are many advantages of rocking fitted clothes, especially if you need to dress like that But for me that translated to streetwear, you know what my channel is mainly about and bro I was rocking skinny zipper denim Skinny joggers regular skinny zipper pants with the extra long drawstrings everything I wore was skinny Also at the time I was working in the fitness industry And we all know that yolked fellas love wearing a size small when they really need a size large Because they always need to look aesthetic and also I was just insecure I needed to show people that an Asian dude can lift weights and is an alpha male pretty cringe But I know a lot of guys are currently like this or in this face And I'm not saying all of you guys that wear fitted clothes are insecure. Okay. That's just my personal story I was an insecure dude, but some people actually like that aesthetic it suits their lifestyle Maybe they work in business and finance But trust me you can tell when someone is insecure and they always need to rock fitted clothes And that's also going to translate to pants as well. The style industry on the internet just loves talking about how skinny denim It's gonna make you taller blah blah blah. I get it Maybe it does make you look taller and maybe relax fit pants make you look shorter, but who really cares In fact, I feel like that statement can make people feel more insecure and more self-conscious about their height And that makes them only gravitate towards fitted clothes This all comes down to being comfortable in your own skin next up like I said in the previous point I was always so self-conscious about always looking shorter or maybe just looking out of place If I didn't wear skinny fitted pants, but because that's the stigma of not wearing fitted pants You know looking shorter maybe looking out of place looking like a child or whatever people say nowadays I just became more and more insecure about my height five seven game What up? But as soon as I tried more relaxed fitting pants and learn how to style them I just began to like it a ton and then just stopped caring about whether I look short or not Really if you fall into this mindset of if you don't wear fitted clothes If you don't wear skinny denim, you're gonna look shorter or you're gonna look a lot skinnier or whatever people say online This is why I don't always recommend watching just style YouTube I recommend, you know reading articles following female fashion influencers And I'm going a little off-topic But you start to dress to overcompensate for your own insecurity Instead of just being comfortable with your own skin at least that's just my story But now I can rock both relaxed and skinny slim fit pants I feel comfortable wearing either without oh, I'm gonna look short the ladies aren't gonna like that when in reality guys The ladies actually like a dude who can accept all of his short comings see what I did there and it's just himself So that's the second reason it made me more comfortable in my own skin And I know if you guys are currently in the same mindset as I was this is going to apply to you And you're going to see the benefits of it next reason why I stopped with the skinnies It's because it gave me more options with fitted clothes This really only one look you can pull off just an entire fit of clothes that hug your body now You can always switch it up and add different pieces and you know accessories and making your own style But overall the silhouette just looks like your body now with relaxed fit and oversized clothes It can drastically change up your silhouette making for a more tasteful look, but Johnny You only aren't too oversized clothes because it's a trend you're a trend follower. You suck Maybe maybe not it's been around for a while and I do believe it's here to stay But either way you have options when composing your outfits oversized hoodie skinny denim looks great Relax fit pants any more fitted top still looks great relax fit pants and an oversized top It looks great too and an all fitted outfit looks great as well But that's all you can rock if you were in the mindset I was pretty much my whole entire life when you try different cuts different silhouettes You can play with size contrasting you can play with your proportions You can try new sneakers or you can style the same sneaker just in a different way What I love about relaxed fit pants is I can always adjust the pants if I want to go for a different look with these relaxed fit Cargo's I am all about letting it just lay on the sneaker for a unique look But also I'm down with cuffing the pants to give it a different vibe for the day Pin rolling is another option if you want to go for that slim tapered look down in the ankle area You get to show off the sneaker. You let your ankle breathe It's perfect for the spring vibes and this alone allows you to get more bang for your buck for any relaxed fit Pants that you purchase instead of just rocking them one way next up is proportions Sizing among the most overlooked aspects of outfit composition sizing and proportion is unique to everyone We all got different body types. Some people are part of the thick boy club Some people are in the shorty and skinny club whatever your body type is It's going to allow you or complicate your experience with certain looks the SLP look may suit me more than a dude That has a little more heft to him some aesthetics just have a preferred and an ideal body type The Rick Owens aesthetic is suited for more slim fit athletic guys who lift a little bit of weights SLP More skinnier dudes as well. I love the SLP look. It definitely suits my body type very well It's just not my choice of fitment every day of the week and for the rest of my life But anyways relaxed fitting pants has expanded my own personal fashion spectrum I used to be afraid of picking up Air Force ones because I have a unique body type again 5-7 gang and I have size 11 feet That's not very common. Okay sure dude thick ass feet I say this in every video, but I gotta tell you guys, you know This is like one of the most important things about fashion is just understanding yourself So me rocking the Air Force ones which already is known for being chunky with skinny denim Just that ain't what's up man It doesn't look good on me at all and any skinny pants really shouldn't be worn with these unless you're like over six feet But you can balance the chunkiness of the Air Force ones by wearing a more relaxed fit take this outfit These cargo pants from 511 pin rolls of course looks a lot better with it than my pair of skinnies Sure, the ankle is tapered because I pin rolled it. That's fine But the overall silhouette of these pants compensates for the Air Force ones because the thigh area is more relaxed fit This has also allowed me to have gone into the tech wear aesthetic Which is done for more relaxed fitting bottoms all because I was able to let go of skinny denim for even just one day a week Check these Nike lab ACG cargoes from the Fall 1118 collection. RIP Nike lab by the way Super sexy and functional, but I would never be able to rock this a few years ago with more techie Looks it's best to just lean into it because you're never gonna see a tech fit with fitted clothes Unless it's hashtag tech wear and you want to rock it for playing on dust too. So I think you guys get the point now You got more options. It makes it a lot more fun, but also as a bonus point. We can all just agree It's more comfortable even if you're wearing skinnies with stretch in it It's still hugging your legs, which makes it not that great for breathability, but with relaxed fit pants It's more free-flowing. It's more tasteful if you know how to style it So let's talk about the sponsor of today's video black Taylor They are an online streetwear company that focuses on cargo pants This is my introduction to dropping skinnies, you know once a week or so now just to be clear These aren't tech wear cargo pants if you guys follow the tech wear industry You guys know why a lot of their items don't have weatherproofing and all that that's totally cool But it still does give off a techie vibe It's so for me It was a great introduction to the aesthetics of tech wear and just switching up my regular streetwear aesthetic as well You can definitely see a change on my Instagram Just you know scroll back if you want but from before to now there's a huge difference It's definitely stepped up my fashion game just a tiny bit, you know, I still can't dress but geez what a difference I've always liked their nylon and 17 cargo pants because they don't have the cuff that makes it look like a jogger Nothing wrong with that either I started out with their C1 cargos which I fell in love with but I have since moved on to these ones Which have this awesome unique silhouette and you're able to adjust the strap at the bottom for many different type of looks So if you guys are interested in picking up an item just go ahead and click the link in the description You guys can use my discount code to save some money and trust me You're really going to like it, especially if you just want to switch up your aesthetic You know you've been rocking skinny denim skinny pants for a ton of your life These cargo pants are gonna drastically change your mindset and allows you to have more fun play with sizing and all that It's great. And also as a disclaimer, although they are the paid sponsor this video I have purchased from them many times in the past with my own money And I would only recommend brands that I really like and if you guys do make any purchases I really appreciate that it really does help my channel a ton But what do you guys think are you gonna give relax fit pants a shot? If not, it's totally cool This is just my experience with skinny denim, you know YouTube IG outfits my personal outfits Seriously, though, if you really want to step out of your comfort zone try relax fitting pants You don't have to buy from the sponsor of today's video.
