1
You don't need style, you need swag.
2
Now what exactly is swag?
3
Well, according to Mike Fresh from 2006, he defines swag to be the appearance, style, or the way he or she presents themselves.
4
And that's exactly what it is.
5
And then you also have other definitions like this one.
6
A stupid excuse used by lame-ass thugs and hipsters to justify the bullshit style and fucked up color matching they wear.
7
But I wanted to make this video
8
because people seem to confuse the meaning behind style
9
and swag Having nice style
10
and having swag are not the same thing having style means
11
knowing how to dress Well on the other hand you can have swag with no style now Of course
12
if you have style and swag that's a bonus and
13
if you don't have any style
14
and no swag I I don't really know what to tell you
15
and the modern version of swag
16
that we're all familiar with is the term aura At least that's what the kids are saying nowadays
17
But the hipster English language seems to find various ways to reinvent old words
18
and twist the definition into Something else in the process, but this is where you may be thinking well, how do I get swag?
19
How do I equip swag in my inventory?
20
Well, if we remember what Mike fresh said swag is the way you carry yourself
21
Which means at the end of the day This all comes down to you swag isn't something
22
that can be bought in a store and sure Maybe some clothes
23
or jewelry can amplify your swag But that all means nothing
24
if you don't even have any swag in the first place
25
And I'd also like to point out women can 100% have swag men women cat dog It really doesn't matter
26
and instead of telling you how to be swaggy I'm instead going to show you people who have swag
27
and we're gonna break down what they all have in common Now the first person
28
that immediately comes to my mind
29
when I think of the word swag is Allen Iverson really just had
30
that I don't give a fuck what anyone says about me
31
gonna do whatever the fuck I want whether you like it
32
or not kind of mentality
33
and sure enough that's exactly what he did the NBA literally
34
hated Allen Iverson Robin Gibbon writes in the in the Washington
35
Post today She said that's the body language of a thug
36
and she's talking about the car Everything out this gangster prison attitude in fact they even implemented a dress code
37
because of him but people loved it The fans loved it.
38
He was cool Authentic and it created character, but he's one of those people who didn't just have swag He also had style as well.
39
Like the outfits he wore just added on top of the swag that he already had.
40
And another person that has style and swag is Princess Diana.
41
Like, come on, man.
42
She's wearing the fuck out of these clothes.
43
And she's letting it be known that she has that shit on.
44
She's really one of those people that can just make anything look good.
45
It really doesn't matter what she's wearing.
46
Like, let's just take a look at this photo of Pharrell Williams.
47
Literally just wearing a t-shirt with a hat.
48
That's it.
49
But it's still swag.
50
He just has something within him that just gives off that energy.
51
Some people really just got it.
52
Like, you can just tell when someone has that energy to them.
53
It's the same for A$AP Rocky, Chief Keef.
54
And man, honestly, if you want to talk about swag, Mario Bellatelli.
55
This motherfucker has that shit on.
56
When you have swag, there's really no such thing as a bad outfit.
57
And I'm not even saying that his outfits are bad, but of course, his swag is much more than his outfit.
58
His hair carries a lot of weight in his appearance, as well as the way he carries himself, which is also part of his swag.
59
Like, deadass.
60
I'm probably hating here, but this outfit right here really isn't even that special.
61
The outfit only looks good because he's the one wearing it.
62
I know that sounds like insane glaze.
63
This video is pretty much just one big fucking glaze session, but it's true.
64
Most people can't pull this outfit off.
65
He's wearing cuffed joggers with whatever kind of shoes these are, but they all share the same characteristics in that they don't really give a fuck.
66
It doesn't matter what people say about their hair, their clothes, their appearance.
67
If they're going to do something or wear something, they're going to do it.
68
They're relaxed and free.
69
You can tell by the way they walk that they don't got to stick up their ass.
70
You know, they're not walking around stiff as fuck.
71
Everything is just natural to them.
72
They don't really look out of place.
73
They look like they belong in their body.
74
They look like they belong in their clothes.
75
You can wear as many clothes as you want.
76
You can have the nicest outfits.
77
But if you don't feel comfortable in your own skin, you're always just gonna feel like something's out of place.
78
I'm saying this from experience.
79
Swag is also something that just can't be forced.
80
Like, you know when you look at someone and you can just tell they're being performative as fuck?
81
That's just not who they really are.
82
Like, they're playing the wrong role in a movie.
83
Like, they're just trying too hard to be different.
84
Or their whole personality is just, I'm different, so that means I'm better than you.
85
Like you can't force something that isn't there
86
if you have swag you have swag a lame person can get rich But
87
that doesn't mean he's cool all of a sudden just means
88
he's a lame person with money same thing for fashion There's
89
a lot of people who put on clothes thinking the clothes are gonna make them cool
90
But it's the complete opposite because you're supposed to make the clothes look cool
91
And if the clothes look cool on top of you being cool, then that's a bonus a lot of these fashion people put on clothes
92
And then all of a sudden they think they're better than everyone else
93
or they just turn into a bunch of narcissistic assholes that makes fun of other people's outfits, and then they want to say they have swag.
94
Like, bro
95
if anything you're just an asshole it's almost like being confident
96
versus being an arrogant piece of shit that's kind of what
97
i would compare the real swag to whatever the fuck this fake swag
98
or these fashion motherfuckers are um hopefully that makes sense but
99
if you really want to know how to get your swag
100
up there are lots of ways you can do this you
101
don't need expensive pieces you don't got to be up to date with the latest fashion trends i cannot express this enough.
102
The swag is everything.
103
Swag can literally solve world hunger for fuck's sake.
104
Now, if you want to come off as a bit more swaggy or just genuinely have a nice energy to your outfits, you have to take into account the little things about yourself.
105
Even the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you smell.
106
If you don't take any showers or bathe yourself, you should probably start doing that.
107
I shouldn't be the one to tell you that.
108
It really all comes down to the small details.
109
Everything starts adding up.
110
Find what's most comfortable for you.
111
Some of you are gonna have to get out of your
112
comfort zone A lot of you might be comfortable with Kind of having a fake fabricated personality
113
Or even a fabricated fashion sense Just to please other people Maybe it's
114
because your parents don't let you dress a certain way
115
But for most people It's
116
because you're the only person holding you back From dressing the way you want to dress
117
Or acting the way you want to act Like bro, I'm wearing a white t-shirt right now With fucking Family Guy
118
pajamas man Tell me my swag is in fire as fuck
119
right now I'll walk the streets of Chicago wearing family guy pajamas and I will pull a 45 year old milk.
120
I'm not saying I have swag, but at the very least, I'm confident in myself.
121
That confidence is also going to show in my fuck.
122
And that confidence is also going to show in my outfit.
123
I've said this before and I'll say it again.
124
I know it's not the easiest thing to do to just be confident.
125
It's going to take years to build your confidence.
126
You may never be confident in your life.
127
There's a lot of videos out there, a lot of books you can read on how to build your confidence.
128
But at the end of the day, what's going to make you be confident is through life experience.
129
Swag is really just about knowing yourself and being the person you are at the end of the day.
130
Everybody has their own swag.
131
Swag is authentic.
132
Swag is kind of like DNA.
133
Everybody has different DNA.
134
Everybody has a different fingerprint.
135
Everybody has different swag.
136
Listen, man, I've never met two people with the same swag in my life.
137
Your swag could also be your attitude.
138
If you want to be a dickhead, go ahead and be a dickhead as long as you're one of those nice assholes like
139
if that's just who you are then take full advantage of your personality
140
and use that to curate your style i'm telling you man, style literally means nothing if you don't have swag.
141
Style can only take you so far in this world.
142
It's like a McDonald's cheeseburger.
143
You know, you're going to eat it.
144
It's not really going to fool you up.
145
It's just temporary pleasure.
146
But the swag is like a steak.
147
Yeah, I don't really know what the fuck I'm saying at this point.
148
I think you understand what I'm trying to say here.
149
I'm not trying to give you guys a corny ass analogy.
150
But you know, another part about finding your swag is capitalizing on your energy.
151
If you're an outgoing person, if you're a more mysterious, you're kind of laid back, that's your energy.
152
That's your swag.
153
That's your aura.
154
Oh man, I fucking hate that word.
155
Tap into that energy
156
and naturally it's going to start to reflect with the way you carry yourself
157
and this is going to sink into your outfits.
158
Carry yourself so that everything you're doing looks intentional or it's just carefree.
159
This is something that I do in my life.
160
This has honestly saved me so much embarrassment.
161
I just told myself, like I don't really give a fuck anymore.
162
I can judge me as God anyone else doesn't really matter to me.
163
I can trip and fall in front of five goth baddies, and I'm honestly just gonna act like I did that on purpose.
164
It's not bad to be the person that looks like they tried too hard, but at the same time, you don't wanna carry yourself to the point where it's like, damn, he or she is trying way too hard to act this way
165
or look this way to the point where it just doesn't look natural.
166
Just lay back, man.
167
Just have fun with your life.
168
Have fun with your clothes.
169
Have fun with fashion.
170
Have fun with people.
171
Nothing matters at the end of the day except for your swag.
172
Your swag can genuinely save your life one day
173
and might be able to get you out of a speeding ticket for fuck's sake.
174
The moral of this video, you don't need style, you need swag.
175
And ultimately, in the famous words of Mike Fresh, it's the way you carry yourself.
176
Having a nice style can amplify your swag, but it can only do so much.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
