Here's the art of dressing well that I'm pretty sure no fashion influencer has told you before.

This video isn't designed to give you little cheeky tips on how to combine colors.

This is the real deal.

If you understand this, you will go from an absolute newbie to an absolute G

when it comes to looking good in clothes.

All right, let's get into it.

The first thing that you must realize,

clothes look best when they aren't the point.

That means when they are not priority number one.

A lot of these fashion creators,

fashion influencers, Instagram fashion bros,

or people even on the runway,

why do they never look good as this guy?

Why does this guy never look good as this guy?

Because the first guy, the clothes are the point.

The clothes are the main thing that he's trying to say.

He's like, look, this is the clothes.

Even the guys on the runway, it's like that.

The clothes are the main thing.

But with these other guys,

the clothes are not the main thing.

The clothes are the byproduct.

It's the sidekick.

It's the second, third, fourth, fifth priority.

This is also the reason,

mind you, why skaters often look good and skater culture has influenced fashion so much is because when these guys are skating,

they're wearing normal clothes, but the skating is the point.

Whether they wear dickies or whatever shirt or supreme,

like that's like secondary to the actual skating.

And that's why the clothes look good because it's in motion.

It's embedded into life.

This is one of the biggest things you've got to understand if you want to dress well.

It's very natural for you to think,

oh my God, I love fashion.

I love clothes.

I'm going to wear this and match it with this.

And doesn't this look good?

And the clothes become a point.

Like you go out thinking you're going to wear this thing.

It's never going to look good, bro.

The way to make it look good is for you to live life such that the clothes become priority number two,

three, four, five, six.

The lower down the chain, the better.

Next, clothes look best when they are worn to fuck.

I don't mean they're worn to make sexual relations.

I mean, they are worn to the hell and back.

They've been worn and worn and worn and worn

and it's almost molded to your body that's when clothes look good

because that signals that you're not caring

that much about the clothes the way the fabric loosens

when you wash it multiple times because you've worn it

so many times the way you don't care about it

because you know how it fits you're used to it

and it just molds to your body and when you go into

that state where you've just worn it so many times

so it's almost part of your skin that's really

when clothes start to look good contrary to that

if you just ordered your new little t-shirt new little shirt you wore it and It's all stiff.

It's got these like crease marks because you've just unfolded it.

And it's super clean.

And the neckline's all super tight.

And you're like, look at my fresh like.

You look like a tool because it's not molded to your body.

The Japanese have a word for this.

It's called wabi-sabi.

The beauty that comes from time passing.

And it's really, really applicable when it comes to clothes.

This is why sometimes clothes that have been handed down,

vintage clothes, secondhand clothes will look good on you because they naturally have been softened up.

Same with leather stuff, shoes.

That's not to say never wear new stuff, but understand this thing.

Even with new things, the more times you wear it,

the more you will feel at ease in them as the fabric softens and molds to your body.

Next, it doesn't really come from the clothes themselves.

Now, wait, of course, clothes matter.

What you wear does matter,

but it matters much less than the lifestyle and the experiences that are coming out of you.

When Thierry Henry, when Paolo Maldini,

when they wear clothes that are made out of nylon,

that are kind of like sporty stuff,

and they got their little sporty thing inside of their sock,

and they're just walking around, they look good.

Because the natural way in which they have lived their life as sports people,

it just fits them.

It just fits how they've lived,

what they've thought about, what they thought,

how they feel, how they move.

That's why it looks good.

So there's a certain thing that comes out of one's lifestyle

and upbringing that will come out in the way that they dress.

If you've never ever lived in some kind of situation where you listen to like music,

you were never a big music person.

And suddenly you dress all in these vintage band tees

because now that's popping you're not going to have the same kind of effect

and power and aura as somebody that genuinely has been living

that life does that make sense to you so what does

that mean instead you know as

if you're somebody that's just having fun leaning into different trends

and learning about different fashion stuff go ahead try different things

100

wear the band tees you know you don't have to be

101

an expert to wear certain things just go for it

102

and experiment but understand that the way you live your life

103

and the experiences that you've had that's really what's going to come out

104

and it's gonna make you look really good next movement posture personality matters more than fits silhouettes

105

and colors now

106

if you watch every fashion video of all these fashion influence

107

what are they talking about talking about oh it's gonna fit this way the silhouette has to be this way

108

and the colors that go with these colors i mean i've made certain videos like

109

that myself by the way they're really good

110

so you can check them out but you really understand that

111

that actually matters less than the way you move the way you speak your personality the way you are

112

and also just generally how you carry yourself this matters much more

113

and you can see this in your social circle you can see this in celebrities mannequins have no movement

114

so they never look as good the runway models they don't actually look

115

that good because the point of the runway model is to display the clothes

116

so yes they walk confidently yes they show the silhouette

117

and all these kind of things but you never look at them

118

and you're like wow like amazing i want to look like you don't do

119

that but you get that feeling when you I don't know watch a rock star

120

when you watch a movie when you see a sports star you get

121

that because they have movement they have personality and they have the posture

122

that goes with it understand that this actually matters more than exactly what you wear

123

and if you have the movement the posture

124

and the personality then it's gonna make whatever you're wearing look

125

10 times better I want to focus a little bit in on this

126

so what does it mean it actually matters how you move

127

so let me give you an example

128

if you play soccer there's a certain way that guys

129

that play football well walk and there's a certain way they touch the ball such

130

that

131

if you played football you could see in like five to

132

ten seconds of them touching the ball like whether they play pretty well

133

or not and it's a subtle thing that

134

if you didn't play the sport you probably could never tell

135

and i'm sure there's a lot of these other tells in lots of different fields whether it's a violin

136

or climbing or jiu-jitsu just the way

137

that they do the first few things you can tell instantly whether they're good or not.

138

Do you get what I'm talking about?

139

Don't think about soccer think about whatever it is

140

that you're good at you can just tell instantly the same thing is in fashion in just the way

141

that you move if you wear really really good silhouette fits

142

and colors and you kind of walk with your pulse just caved in

143

and you're not wearing the clothes you're kind of just like waddling along you're just not gonna look good

144

but if you walk in a way in a certain way

145

that we can't just describe into words that's kind of of relaxed

146

and it's kind of unbothered that just kind of it flows with the clothes that's

147

when it looks good it matters how you move it matters how you walk understand this there's no right

148

or wrong formula necessarily because you can have a weird walk

149

but still look really good though it depends on the lifestyle it depends on all the context

150

but understand

151

that these things matter more than the fits the silo as the collar combos next a certain level of time

152

and money has to be spent in order for you to

153

end up at a place where you dress well nowadays we

154

live in a situation where you know you just go to the cheapest place

155

that has the same kind of design and you just slap these things together

156

and you're like you see one guy you see a couple

157

videos you're like i'm gonna get this one from here this one from here combine it

158

and i look good i've tried that i never look good like

159

that and the reason is because just like any skill fashion

160

and dressing well and looking good is actually also a skill don't listen to all these people

161

that are like oh my god you know you're born with this style a lot of people

162

that dress well or stylish they spend a lot of time

163

and money

164

and effort into curating how they look they've gone through a

165

lot of cringy moments a lot of failed outfits a lot

166

of tries a lot of clothes of different quality have been

167

draped over their bodies for them to know this kind of

168

fit fits me well this kind of cropped length goes well

169

this kind of shoe looks good on me they've gone

170

and spent the time

171

and spent the money don't try to take these shortcuts don't

172

try to say i just want to learn these few tricks

173

that are going to make me look amazing in the shortest amount of time it's very very tempting

174

but just like i always say in my fitness videos to get really good at something it takes time

175

and it's the same thing with dressing well

176

so make mistakes spend a bit of money and make those failed purchases

177

that you'd never end up wearing overpay for that t-shirt

178

and realize that it's better or that it wasn't better all of

179

that time and effort and money

180

that you spend in this field is gonna make you dress better patience

181

and time passing in your own love for this area is

182

what's missing is what you need to become a better dressed right

183

so don't get this to mean that like i've kind of gone through this stage

184

and reached this point where i'm fully wide like look at

185

me i'm just dressed in some most basic shirt right

186

so you know but these are some of the lessons

187

that i'm learning as i'm going next and

188

if you realize why homeless people babies

189

and old people look really good maybe homeless people some people will disagree with me

190

but if you look at babies sometimes

191

when babies are dressed they look really good right

192

and then like super old people sometimes like korean grandpas

193

or some of these grandpas they look really good the reason for this is

194

because they have let go they have just let go of

195

the need to look good in korea we call this

196

which literally means to lay down to put down to put

197

down this stick that's up your ass where you're trying to look good

198

and cool and fashionable and stylish babies don't know any better

199

so they don't have that old people are like well it was all bullshit anyway

200

so they've let it down

201

and homeless people i mean they got nothing to give a shit about

202

so they've let it down

203

so then the clothes just look good this is one of the secrets

204

that you must understand in order to dress well i can't remember where i heard this

205

but i think it's some maybe a coco chanel said this

206

or somebody said this that before you leave the house leave one item what

207

that literally means is

208

when you were getting dressed in the mirror you probably got a little bit too excited

209

and put on like too many things like you wore the hat

210

and the sunglasses and the ring like i'll do

211

that you know like like a fashion newbie will do

212

that right we'll do one too many things

213

because you're like this is cool and then this is cool

214

and this is fucking cool it's not when they say take one

215

and just leave it that's innately taking into the fact

216

that you probably overdid it you probably in your attempt in

217

your ego in your subtle little thing to be approved

218

and validated by other people and them looking at you

219

and thinking you're cool you've chosen that extra little thing

220

and then you've gone over the top you've given away the rabbit all right leave

221

that thing just lay it down it's showing

222

that you want to let go of this feeling of constantly

223

trying to impress other people now in some senses fashion dressing

224

well why do we dress in these different colors it wouldn't

225

make sense on a desert island just by yourself you wouldn't wear shirts

226

and ties we do respect the fact

227

that in some sense it is for the other person it is to be looked at

228

But there is this sense in which when you lay things down,

229

when you let it go,

230

you're just going to look much, much better.

231

Next, experience and interest is the only way to get good at it.

232

Just like anything.

233

If you have interest in dressing well and you're constantly trying things

234

and learning new things and then failing and getting random outfits that don't work,

235

you're still loving it, right?

236

There's an innocence in your pursuit of this thing called style

237

and fashion you just go at it like a child

238

that loves a sport might

239

or somebody who just gets into their new favorite hobby might get interested in it

240

and over time you gather experience

241

and that's how you actually become better dressed for you to

242

actually dress well you got to go through a lot of

243

failure it's an absolute necessity you got to go through a

244

lot of cringe you got to go through a lot of failed outfits

245

and a lot of clothes have to have gone on

246

and off your body for you to eventually reach a point where you actually know what looks good for you

247

and it's constantly changing don't take this tough too seriously i

248

just could be getting a bunch of requests to make a fashion video

249

so here's a good good old attempt at it let me know

250

if you liked it or if you want to see more

251

and by the way if you want to build a body

252

that will make all clothes look good there are certain bodies

253

that if you're lean if you're aesthetic it's going to make clothes look two times better than

254

if you were fat and chubby that's just the raw hard truth

255

if you're not offended by that then you can check out my training program below aesthetic body blueprint,

256

which is the simplest, easiest,

257

laziest way to build a body that looks good in clothes.

258

You'll be surprised at how easy it is.

259

And if you're just like,

260

you know what, do this whole thing with me,

261

just teach me how to do it.

262

I want to work directly with you and you every week,

263

then you can apply for my coaching program.

264

I'll show you how to install my training and diet system into your life.

265

That's going to make you look good without clothes, but also with clothes.

266

That said, I'll wrap it up.

267

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
