00:00:33
your measurements knowing your
00:00:35
measurements is the foundation it is the
00:00:38
soil for the seeds of actually
00:00:40
developing a worthwhile style if you're
00:00:43
going to start anywhere with fashion you
00:00:45
need to know your measurements which can
00:00:48
be as simple as knowing your shoe sizes
00:00:51
in various forms from us to EU to UK
00:00:54
knowing your waist your insing length
00:00:57
your bust your arm length your chest and
00:01:00
your ring size every single item of
00:01:03
clothing has a corresponding size and
00:01:05
every single inch or centimeter
00:01:07
depending on where you're listening from
00:01:09
has a corresponding measurement know
00:01:11
that measurement number two first you
00:01:14
copy but in the copy you find yourself
00:01:17
legendary designer Yoji Yamamoto once
00:01:20
said start copying what you love copy
00:01:23
copy copy copy at the end of the copy
00:01:26
you'll find yourself most societies
00:01:29
Place cop being in a negative light but
00:01:32
every type of art every example of
00:01:35
creativity uses and has some form of a
00:01:38
reference and when you're starting out
00:01:40
in fashion and in style you too should
00:01:43
use a reference the best example I can
00:01:46
give is trying or setting out to learn
00:01:49
how to draw something but never using a
00:01:52
reference image to Aid in the
00:01:54
preparation and the actual execution of
00:01:56
that drawing unless you're some sort of
00:01:59
savant spoiler alert you're probably not
00:02:02
I'm not for sure one of the best tips
00:02:05
I've ever heard and ever received is to
00:02:07
use the references that are readily
00:02:09
available to me and you should use the
00:02:11
references that are readily available to
00:02:13
you things like social media movies
00:02:16
books magazines anything and everything
00:02:19
can be a reference first you copy but in
00:02:22
the copy you find yourself number three
00:02:25
use your skin tone as a guide to help
00:02:28
you generate your color palette
00:02:30
aesthetically one of the most underrated
00:02:32
rules in fashion is understanding how to
00:02:35
utilize color properly colors and color
00:02:38
coordination is key for improving your
00:02:41
style if you have a darker skin tone
00:02:43
like myself certain shades of blue red
00:02:46
and green will look better on you as
00:02:48
opposed to if you have a lighter skin
00:02:50
tone different Hues will match that tone
00:02:53
and emphasize the natural beauty of that
00:02:55
skin in comparison for you you need to
00:02:57
find this harmony and take advant vage
00:03:00
of it number four quality over quantity
00:03:04
everyone's heard this rule but seldom do
00:03:07
people actually put this idea into
00:03:09
practice with fashion it is Paramount to
00:03:12
exercise quality over quantity fast
00:03:15
fashion makes it easy to have access to
00:03:17
whatever is trending in the Zeitgeist
00:03:19
refrain from leaping from Trend to Trend
00:03:22
each season which conversely means
00:03:24
invest in pieces that have Timeless
00:03:26
appeal and your style and confidence
00:03:29
will improve number five be true to
00:03:31
yourself each one of us is drawn to
00:03:33
different things in the world and this
00:03:35
is the same for fashion if you like more
00:03:38
grunge looks but the current friend
00:03:40
group or circle of influence isn't a fan
00:03:43
still remain true to yourself be true to
00:03:45
you wear the things that resonate with
00:03:48
you fashion and life in a lot of ways is
00:03:52
mental more than it is about clothing we
00:03:55
all create these mental blockades that
00:03:58
dictate how we act when we were deciding
00:04:00
what to wear be true to yourself and
00:04:03
wear what you like which leads us to
00:04:06
number six understand why you like the
00:04:10
things that you like we are all writing
00:04:13
the story of our lives with the things
00:04:15
that we engage and take interest in what
00:04:18
story are you writing for example for
00:04:20
myself I grew up an only child in
00:04:22
Colorado I'm black played basketball for
00:04:26
20 years of my youth watched a ton of
00:04:28
anime and loved anime before it was cool
00:04:31
grew up playing and loving video games I
00:04:33
was shy I had Big Dreams and on and on
00:04:36
and on you get my point knowing the
00:04:38
things that you naturally gravitate
00:04:40
towards and knowing how those things
00:04:42
influence your sense of fashion is vital
00:04:44
to your style number seven slow down
00:04:48
your fashion journey is not an allout
00:04:51
Sprint to the Finish Line in fact it's a
00:04:54
75e marathon that will have its ups and
00:04:57
have its Downs that's the way that it
00:04:59
should be viewed we all see the problems
00:05:01
that living too fast can cause and in
00:05:03
the case of fashion these factors are
00:05:05
also very much so evident so reminder
00:05:11
slow down number eight learn how to
00:05:15
juxtapose ideas in a way the way that
00:05:18
you dress is a form of self-expression
00:05:21
and the idea behind juxtaposing with the
00:05:24
way you dress is rooted in creating
00:05:26
tension and Intrigue within an outfit an
00:05:29
example of ju to position would be
00:05:31
wearing heels with track pants or
00:05:34
trackies if that's more your lingo or
00:05:37
wearing something like a varsity jacket
00:05:39
with a tie these elements paired
00:05:41
together create this really fun and
00:05:43
unique tension that makes an outfit cool
00:05:47
and different if you want a longer video
00:05:49
about this let me know down in the
00:05:50
comments number nine know how to layer
00:05:54
layering is one of those things that
00:05:55
takes a good outfit and creates a great
00:05:57
outfit and makes a great outfit and into
00:05:59
an iconic outfit the best dressers the
00:06:02
best stylists know how to layer and even
00:06:06
if you layer simply and cleanly it
00:06:08
doesn't have to be this extravagant
00:06:10
thing when it comes to layering even if
00:06:12
you do it very very simply it goes a
00:06:14
long way in helping improve your style
00:06:16
number 10 we made it last but not least
00:06:19
have fun and be carefree fashion can be
00:06:23
as light-hearted or as serious as you
00:06:25
want it to be it can be as simple as
00:06:27
putting on a baseball cap from your
00:06:29
favorite sports team or putting on a
00:06:32
pair of $5 earrings that you found at
00:06:35
the thrift last week when we try to make
00:06:38
the creative aspects of our life so
00:06:40
serious it diminishes the value that we
00:06:44
extract from being creative so have fun
00:06:48
be carefree and dress in a way that
00:06:50
makes you feel good about what you're
00:06:53
wearing for those who stay to the end
00:06:56
here are some honorable mentions that I
00:06:58
wanted to highlight from the community
00:07:01
the first is by yon aoto he said life is
00:07:05
too short to not dress how you want you
00:07:07
only live once next we have ton who said
00:07:11
make sure you own it wear what you want
00:07:14
but wear it well don't walk around like
00:07:16
