You'll Hate Yourself For Buying These Clothes (i did this)

James Leung and Harry upload timing 🤔

Lmfao at the high maintenance section. I disagree with almost all of it.

the so-called elevated basics. these simply don't work for me. personally, i need basics that i can wear on their own or layer for warmth during the winter and i don't want to think whether the frills on that white tshirt are going to look dumb peeking out of my wool sweater or not

As I age I guess Im becoming wiser in buying clothing and footwear. Nowadays I only buy clothes at Uniqlo. I also made the mistake of entirely focusing all my money on buying clothing and shoes while neglecting skincare. And I only bought clothes to get the approval of people especially women. These days Im much less of a people pleaser.

Dry clean only is a scam. 😂

The clip of Frank wearing that denim from IASIP took me out! 😂
Love your content James. 👊🏻😎

White shirts are high maintenance to me

The best fashion advice I ever heard was "be ruthless". I think a few points of what you said comes back to that - do not settle for less.

Always look forward to your Sunday videos.-I am a woman who appreciates your content. Shout out from SoCal.

where is your hoodie from?

i love your content, thanks :)

Buying shit a little to small or big because it was cheap i used to do this a lot

I stop wearing jeans just because my jeans have "knee bag"..

Shoutout to Doug Funnie and editor!

Always a pleasure to watch, James

Gotta disagree with buying the same item, especially for essentials that don’t have a trendy fit, if you find something solid..buy every color, you then know what to expect everytime to wear it, how it washes and allows online purchases of that product hassle free

I really wish there was a black denim jean that doesn’t attract lint lol

A decent rule is - if you’re convincing yourself why you need a certain item, then you probably don’t need it. It should be a natural desire, not a forced effort to fit it into your rotation.

It’s ok to just not buy it and be content with what you have. You don’t have to have a successful shopping trip or spend your recent paycheque

Hey James! Thanks for this advice. I´m 50, and despite my age, I really like fashion, and though, where I live( Medellin, Colombia) people are more into trendy stuff, I personally follow what is recurrent in your chanel, which is following what we feel fits well in us without abandoning some trends and a good style.

💓💓💓

Note to self: Don’t buy 300 black Issey Miyake turtle necks or stacks of black Rick Owens shorts. You will regret it.

The ironing one is so so annoying. Also, the Rick Owens section was very relatable

The biggest fashion mistake I've had came when I was younger. I was wearing large tees at the time, enjoyed the look on me, how free flowing they were. I went out with a lass at the time who talked me into wearing a small. She said I looked great in them, but I was never comfortable, both in freedom of movement but moreover for feeling so self conscious, no matter how glowing the girl in question was.

I've been through a lot of styles since, and very much enjoy the way yourself and Harry share fashion advice. That it's fun, you give us options, and I forever appreciate how humble you both are, and how excited to share a video. Never shouting at us, or looking down on us, but inspiring us to enjoy the experimentation, mindfulness and joy. :)

Dry cleaning is definitely a scam. I used to take them to the dry cleaners, it was such a hassle and expensive. You can totally machine wash coats made of wool and even leather! Just use cold water and air dry. Use a dehumidifier to speed up the process. I've tried it and it hasn’t ruined any of my jackets.

Omg. Watches… i bought a lot already and not wearing anymore. Got a lot of low end ones when I was starting and some on impulse. I am now mainly using a few high end grails. Also some watches actually don’t suit my current style.

Washable suits? 😱😱😱

So true and I don’t know why but there were shirts that I couldn’t fit the head into, or the pants button that are so tight it takes 1 minute to unbutton I almost peed my pants lmao. And you dread wearing those pants. Like why did they make it that way.

I think “ less is more “ formula works both with accessories and any clothes you wanna style with 😅

Good vidioe mate 👍

Definitely with you on the comfort thing. I guess it's because I 'm older and wiser! It helped when it dawned on me some time ago that items were in the sale because other people didn't want them for whatever reason e.g. quality, fit, colour, so they're probably best avoided unless they are something already on your wish list.

I hard agree on dont follow others' essentials. I had to rip the band-aid because i live in the tropics and had to rack my brain having to figure out my own essentials.

Do you have any staples / examples of clothing you have that is more resistant to pet hair? I almost want to get rid of all my black hoodies/zip ups cuz of how bad they are with pet hair.

Good vidioe mate
👍

No matter how trendy it becomes, I will not buy oversized clothes anymore. It's just unflattering as an adult. I made the mistake of ordering an oversized sports coat and it just looks bad.

💛💛💛

You simply take "dry clean only" clothes to a professional dry cleaner...

Best piece of advice I’ve carried with me: if something’s on sale or even drastically discounted, ask yourself if you would’ve bought the item at full price. That really forces me to reframe my thinking - is the item itself worth buying in general, or am I grabbing it because of the discount? In the end, what you wear is the item itself, not the 75% you saved. This has helped me put a lot of potential bad boyfriend closet items down.

This is me right now in my mid thirties. Just needed to watch this video to confirm it. 😂🔥🔥

Dude , I feel you are making strange decisions : jeans hard to button just means you didn’t wear them enough …. And machine wash suit ? What are you buying : supermarket suits ? If you can’t even consider to dry clean a suit , you should just avoir wearing them altogether…

I'm 52, so I know I'm getting older, and my philosophy jobs with yours. I know what works for me and what looks good and what's appropriate for a different situations, so while I find these videos interesting and sometimes get new ideas from all these people, I don't slavishly follow their advice.

Suede is easier to maintain than most leathers imo, just make sure there isn't rain in the weather forecast. Dirt can easily be brushed out.

Annoying, high-maintenance, uncomfortable clothes… that’s why I DON’T wear suits.

My only fashion regret is buying something online only to find it's too big or too small. I ordered slim fit jeans from different companies and they were more like skinny jeans. So they had to go to charity. Most recent was bomber jacket, i ordered medium when it came it fitted like a large so that's going to go to charity.
On a brighter note I've managed to find the Jean's I'm looking for. Slim fit, comfortable and cropped to wear with my Doc Martens.

Wow, I so totally agree with you! Especially the high maintenance clothes. I want to put them in the washer, then the dryer, then fold them and wear them. No ironing, no dry cleaning and so on. Great vid.

I was in an opposite situation as I have tried to get out of Rick Owens as it had become quite hard and expensive to maintain the wardrobe around 2017, but I recently realized that this was the real me all along and just dived back in. It didn't hurt that it has become easier to get his pieces during the past several years. So to each their own

Actually good content in fashion is rare to find, thanks! Especially the focus on personal style and how to fit in fashion advice is very unique.

You hatet yourself? WTF?!

this is one of the best videos ever
