It's interesting to me to see how different our perceptions can be between one another. I literally don't understand how peoples preferences can blur with trends. I like what I like, trends are completely disconnected from whether I like it or not. I am a lover of collared lantern blouses, slim fit pants, golden jewelery, and elaborate bowties whether or not it's in fashion. The only way I think I'd be influenced is subconsciously in what I see, and more directly in just whats available to buy.

I feel like anything is timeless if it's your personal style. Regardless of what the actual garment is, if its part of your aesthetic, it can never go out of style because you dictate what that means. The way companies sell trends is largely for the people who havent or dont want to develop a personal style (which is also a valid way of dressing)

I feel that your “classic” takes are heavily inspired by European aesthetics. Specially when you talked about silhouettes, wider cuts are a mainstay in Japanese fashion as opposed to a trend. Plus, I think you overlooked subcultures which exist outside of “classic” looks such as grunge, punk, skate, etc, which have looks that are “trendy” but have been around within those subcultures for over two decades.

I've been wearing baggy, oversized cargo pants for years and I'm so happy to see the "parachute" look become mainstream, but I really hope that people don't start seeing them as outdated when they fall out of fashion and I'm still wearing them😅 These kinds of pants will always be an iconic piece of my personal style, and I would be sad to see them being thought of as a cringe or last-season item

Same kinda, when I shop my goal is take up the least amount of space possible. And I’m also looking for things that can be styled with nearly anything because then not only would I like most my outfits, I’d also be saving money but not buying trendy things that either don’t flatter me or don’t go with anything. And ofcourse shopping for your body type and color tone will be very helpful with finding a timeless wardrobe

The Detroit styled Jacket came out in 1954, meaning its almost 70 years old. I think if an item of clothing is still being worn for 7 decades it falls into the timeless category. Skinny jeans became popular in the 60s and have continued to remain popular, baggy carpenter pants became popular in the 90s and yet somehow they’re timeless. I like both and think they’re both timeless. On the subject of footwear, your arguments are odd to say the least. The Jordan 1 is a 40 year old shoe thats still popular. Crocs didn’t come out till 2001, and were clowned on for almost 2 decades, only becoming popular as a trend recently. The Adidas Samba came out in 1949! It’s a 73 year old shoe that sold 35 million pairs, enough said, its timeless. The trucker hat is 50 years old, I’ve been wearing them for 20 years. You’re showing your age and definitely need to research the history of the clothing you’re reviewing. Timeless vs Trendy should be viewed from how often they continue to be recycled throughout time. A trend usually dies whilst a timeless piece will remain. Plenty of other clothing items that i wont touch on that you’re wrong about. This video is a rare L for you.

Timeless = classy but also everyday. That’s how I like to think. Staying true to what I like visually as well. Square neck sweet heart are what I typically look for in clothing tops. Anything my eye is drawn to I’ll try on. And just keep it true to you and that’s how it stays timeless.

Bro we been rocking racing jackets for 20 plus years it was big late 90s early 2000s from Avrix-Pelle Pelle it went away for a while now it’s back but racing jackets are more an offshoot from the biker jacket look which is also timeless…it really just depends on the person wearing the item some people look trendy some people look timeless.

I think form a woman’s perspective corsets are very practical for going out. Women aren’t forced to wear a club dress and, good quality corsets provided really good back support. (IMO)

i think the question of trendy vs timeless also hinges on the practicality of the item. timeless items, like normal fit jeans and sneakers are always something we're going to return to because they're comfortable, functional, dependable, and often lower effort to style and wear. statement-making trendy pieces are a lot of fun to discover and style, but they tend to be higher maintenance and get tiring after the hype has died down

I remember seeing my younger cousins start wearing Crocs within the last couple years and I was MAD, lol. Why couldn’t they have been popular 15 years ago when I was rockin ‘em. 😭

In my preference, ive always tried to dress what compliments my body shape/type, that itself accentuates and elevates what i wear, if that makes sense. And once youre familiar with what works on you, you can gradually play with colour and texture

i think crocs will become timeless in a sense that nurse's shoes are timeless because even after they are not "trendy" they will continue to be functional

The “carpenter pants” you spoke of we called painter’s pants.

Gotta say one designer that really helped me realise my personal fashion style was Yohji Yamamoto. As a girl i never resonated with skirts ,tight skinny pants, dresses, or pastel clothes. It did not look good on me and i also didn't like them in general. So when i first discovered Yohni Yamamoto's androgynous dark and edgily attractive style of fashion i was hooked. Now im just 17 obviously i can't afford his clothes but looking for inspiration in his clothes i was able to build a stable timeless wardrobe for myself that just felt right for me. I think It's actually quite fun to look thru runway shows or individual designer clothes to look for inspiration since they have so much avant garde and unique type of styles that may become special to you. If you don't want to follow trendy fashion you can always make a special style just for yourself that doesn't necessarily follow any trend or type.

I just think that at the end of the day, in order to be timeless you just have to be mindfull, comsume quality over cuantity, only get yourfelt pieces that fill you with confort, joy, and autoestime. If you take your time to know yourself and discover how you want to express yourself with clothe, you'll end up builthing a closest that will last ypu for life and with the years u can add pieces time to time

Trench coats are just such a timeless piece going back all the way to the 1960s, there are so many different kinds and styles of trench coats that I just feel are such a staple for I won't say everyone, but lots of people's wardrobes. They are also great for a lot of seasons, obviously, it depends on where you live but I'd say they are great for seasons such as spring, autumn, and winter.

I think that military wear has a lot to do with current trends in fashion as well as timeless pieces. The US army actually invented the first mass manufactured tshirt and ever since then it trickled down into everyday wear, which is impressive. They definitely influenced the consistent wear of items like derby boots after their massive popularity for use in Vietnam and cargos. When it comes to camo I feel like it can be split into two categories. One can be much more trendy and cheaply pasted onto a pair of pants or jacket just to be sold in mall, but an authentic piece of military camo can work very well. The olive green seen on the currently trendy military pants was discontinued in the late 80s so you can’t find any authentic pieces unless you go second hand. All military wear camo now and I will always bear in mind that the army won’t do anything without a reason.

Holy smokes, this is one very solid list. I'm a more of a Timeless kind of man but would love to experiment with the Trendy ones from time to time. This is an amazing follow up from the first one you made before, I'm hoping for a part 3 if possible. Thank you so much for this list! Currently having the huge urge to check up my wardrobe right now. Regarding subbed vs dubbed, here are the only animes that I would consider better as dubbed; Dragon Ball and Naruto. The rest are fine as subbed, that's all!

more recently i started thrifting almost all the tops in my wardrobe. I also cut down on how much stuff i have and if i want to add something i need to remove something from the collection (sort of a capsule wardrobe but bigger and not as strict). definitely feel like, 1. limiting the number of pieces you have will naturally lead you to more timeless pieces 2. thrifting by nature will lean toward more timeless pieces 3. regardless of what you pick, your collection will be timeless from your personal perspective. my one flannel and one puffer vest were thrifted from my trip to Spain. my tweed overcoat was my Grandpa's. my coolest graphic tees were thrifted on my trip to Portland. basically all I'm saying is if you're struggling w/ the topic of this video and haven't tried thrifting (including trendier more expensive vintage stores) consider giving it a try. It's incredibly fun, rewarding, and affordable too

good points and interesting video!! in my opinion when talking about the fit especially of pants, body shape also plays a huge role in what is timeless. especially for women’s pants, the ”straight leg” look wont look the same depending on your body shape, height etc. slightly more wide fitting pants might look more ’straight legged’ on someone with shorter legs and wider thighs (from my experience), whereas a true straight leg will only really give the classy straight leg look on taller, more slim people. but then again, like you said, it’s really all about finding a pair of pants that really fit your body right

Truly loved this video and appreciated every minute of it.

Boot cut is a total CLAaassssssic! Where I’m from (northern Mexico) almost everyone, including me, has been wearing them forever.

As a member of the flannel wearing community, I do agree with your take. They’re not for everyone and as a long time owner of many flannels, it’s a staple when I don’t wanna wear a jacket and still need a layer. I’ve been complimented on my flannel styling, so I might be doing something right.

I feel like we also need to emphasise how proper garment care can extend the life of our clothing. When we buy timeless pieces, maintaining it can help us to continue enjoying them for longer and less likely to buy into the next new trend.

Great video, drew. I think one really important aspect to consider in the "Trendy vs Timeless" debate is functionality. All aspects of fashion (and other creative modalities for that matter) exist on a spectrum of form and function. Timeless pieces carry a great deal of functionality in their form, with less extraneous aesthetic elements. Trendy items may or may not work well functionally, but they have an abundance of aesthetic cues in their design profile to garner interest. To your point, these trendy pieces are often a derivative of the highly functional "original" design, but with additional aesthetic cues. These extraneous aesthetic cues are easily interchangeable as they ebb and flow with the whims of the creative community.

The super short skirts look is cute but so impractical. They never stay down and when you sit they wrinkle up. They look great for photos but not for long time wear. I think this brings me to the thought that anything that only looks good in photos or short term wear tends to be more trendy than timeless.

I'm interested in seeing what popular styles of garments of the last decade (including the ones now) will hold up maybe 10 years from now and stand the test of time. When the pieces we consider timeless were made, I don't think people at the time thought they were gonna be "timeless". As far as I can tell, a lot of what we consider "timeless" today is practical, versatile and accessible. There are certainly garments that fit all these parameters that are trendy. So I wonder-- if Tiktok wasn't a thing and trend cycles were slower would there be a greater potential for pieces to outlive their "eras" ?

Speaking for just me right now.. Social media coerced me into wide fitting pants, but I definitely fell in love with how I look in them once I tried them out. They were never that easy to find for a while, and I was never one to buy pants 3 times my size so, I really owe it to the post 2020 fashion climate for putting me on. The furthest I ever went in that direction was wide pleated khakis and old blue uniform pants from high school that I'd wear on occasion. It used to be tapered sweats all day for me. (RIP Yeezy/Jerry era)

It's funny, as a teenagers I used to be super into labels and trends as must of us at that age are very swayed by what's hot. As I've aged into my early twenties I still love fashion just as much but my wardrobe now focuses on timeless pieces, materials and cuts. I love vintage shopping for that purpose too. I'm way more discerning with each purchase and always think about how it will serve me in my wardrobe. I love it!

A classic fleece is the patagonia synchilla

Wide-fitting pants are generally wayyy more flattering on people who happen to have my body type, an example of how trends *should* work, where you see people wearing something & it works so well on you that people don't really notice your clothing when it's no longer a trend

those red boots in the background are calling my name… i still can’t find a good pair for myself im obsessed

On the fleece I honestly have to disagree!! Imo I think something is timeless when it is incorporated in different aesthetics, groups, sports, "communities" etc. the fleece ALWAYS has been worn by the surfer community for example from billabong in crazy prints and colorways, but also like "suburb girls" are wearing a beige one over their lululemon leggings! then like you said there's the modern hype beast wearing the stussy ones and many many other communities!! Love the vid as always great work

I guess timeless pieces can be very trendy as well - like the Birkenstock Boston, which maybe has been around for a long time but has not been regarded a fashion piece until last year. I would even argue that the claim of timelessness itself is somewhat a trend right now. Sustainability being a claim many companies make in their ads goes hand in hand with them selling “timeless“ products that are supposed to last for years and always look good.

I have my poppops letterman, and I feel so cool everytime I wear it. he never put his letters on though but still, fun thing to have, and the reason I really want to get a letterman of my own.

I can say corsets are timeless. It goes waaay back and it just look good.

What’s timeless is 100% determined by the communities and cultures you’re a part of though. Flannel is timeless if you grew up rurally (cowboy and Chelsea boots are another strong example of that), leather is timeless if you’re involved in motorcycle or alt music culture, tribal tattoos are timeless if you’re actually of the culture they are significant to. I for one would consider mini skirts to be one of the most timeless staples I own. I think it’s partially because I’m from Australia, and so wearing really short bottoms in the summer is very common, since it’s so hot. Sure, the exact style of mini skirt that is popular changes with the trends, but the concept has consistently retained its popularity since I was a child. I also feel that something like a mini skirt, which is so intrinsically connected to a social movement from history (women’s hemlines getting shorter as a reflection of the progression towards women’s liberation) is inherently more timeless for that reason. It marked a major shift in cultural consciousness, and we’ve been continuing to wear them ever since.

another way I look at trendy vs timeless is how many times, and in what different ways can you style that piece of clothing. for example, a racing jacket is something a person might only wear a few times a year top which makes it trendy

I just love the way you argued things, keep going! :)

Interesting take on Monet when Impressionism was not considered ~classical~ when they were first shown to the public. Personally, I think our ideas of classical/timeless wardrobe pieces will continue to evolve as the human species evolve. Fit and silhouette, I believe, are more determinant factors in whether a piece of clothing is timeless, or not. I'd argue that leopard and camo prints CAN be timeless given the right design.

Yeah monet wasn’t really the best example with the way I described the art I moreso meant Monet is in museums and hotel art is in hotels

This is my first video of yours and I really enjoyed it! Very much agree with a lot of your views on what constitutes timeless vs trendy. I will say I was surprised that Dr.Martens weren't mentioned (though I havent watched the first video so maybe they're there)! But Docs are definitely timeless imo

i really liked this video... my timeless piece is actually Carhartt Council Pant. They have different colours, nice fitting and i thing they are really perfect for me

what I've got from this is "timeless" is mostly pieces of clothing that people who are not that into fashion or really safe with their fashion choices wear

Thought this was Kid Cudi for a sec

Can you go more into women's summer pieces? Tube Tops, Tank tops, flowy dresses, rompers, jean shorts, jean skirts, things like that

I feel like for me these h&m and bershka cargo 'baggy' jeans are very trendy rn. And Adidas samba are very trendy right now yes, but in my opinion they are also timeless bc my mother wore them like 15 years ago and they were in too.The onitsuka tiger shoes are really great!! Thank you for that video.

my whole mindset for being "fashionable" is being independent with what you think looks good on you. and when that isn't trendy, that's good, even when you're called "unfashionable". match colors, textures, patterns, and fits for what you like, not what trends tell you too. cuz that Nirvana t-shirt bucket hat combo is so stupid

For me, fashion and trends are all about silouhettes. You can define an era by the most popular outline of a human. I think the most recurring silhouette in womens fashion is a tighter top half that broadens at the bottom. To me, whether or not something will last long in my wardrobe, or even whether or not someones fit on the street appeals to me, is all based on the silhouette, not colours, fabric, brand or texture. If someone has the current trending silhouette wrong, it's not a fit.

loving the vids drew!

off topic but you kinda look like han hyunmin

Loved your points about croc’s & parachute pants, I never really considered crocs timeless but I agree 100% that they will always be people wearing them, even if crocs cease to exist some form of rubber clog will always be around, so in that sense they are definitely timeless! Really interesting to think about actually. Im so glad its not just me that cant get down with parachute pants!! Your points were all so solid and made me realise why I dont like them. Im 6ft 4 and I bought a couple pairs and absolutely hated how they looked on me, yet I would see certain people on ig making them look amazing. And they just so happen to all be short 😅 I agree completely that they do not work on tall people! I look a whole mess in them.

I love headphones, I hate air pods. Headphones are much more practical. It’s also nice that people can tell when you are listening to something. Someone might not see that you have air pods in your ears. For example wearing headphones at the gym, you don’t have to worry about them falling off. I think they are timeless. Trendy right now yes, but overall timeless.. I had headphones before I even had an iPhone.

Off topic but your voice is so soothing. And I definitely agree with you on parachute pants!

i would argue that the workwear jackets like carhartt are timeless. they are “generational” and durable pieces that can be worn your whole life and passed on. you went on to say that varsity jackets are timeless for “X” reason but that same reason could be applied to the workwear

no mention of chinos? definitely timeless
