Практика Shadowing: How To Build The TUFFEST Spring Wardrobe - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

In this video, I'll be teaching you how to build a spring wardrobe and how to dress for the spring.

In this video, we'll be talking about where to shop, what type of shoes and where to get shoes from, layering.

We'll be talking about pants to get and where to get them from.

And at the end of this video, I'll even teach you the best style to choose from for spring.

I'm Jay Alexander.

Let's get straight to it.

The first thing we're talking about is basics that you need and where to shop from.

Now, the problem is most people don't have enough basics, let alone enough quality basics.

They either just end up buying like way too much stuff or they end up with literally nothing at all.

You feel me?

Quickest, fastest, easiest, simplest solution.

You just gotta shop smarter.

But you need the map.

You need the blueprint.

You feel what I'm saying?

And don't worry about it.

I'm gonna give it to you right now.

Let's do it.

I'm gonna break it down into three tiers, alright?

So for all the people who broke as hell like me, I got a tier for that.

I got a tier for the mid-range, the middle-class fellows, or the ones who broke but trying to ball on a budget.

Then I got the expensive tier.

You feel me?

Let's get to it.

Now for affordable, we're going to go Goodfellow, H&M, Uniqlo, Levi's, Target, ASOS,

Vans, Converse, and the GOAT of affordability is thrifting.

Because once you have the vision or the style, then you'll know what to get from the stores.

You feel me?

And then you'll realize like, damn, why would I buy a dress shirt from here

when I can just go thrift one and make the same old money outfit that I've seen on Pinterest?

Feel me?

Hey, I'm just telling you what the veterans do, bro.

You feel me?

For the mid-range, we're going to go Zara

and look Zara is now in the mid-range bro

that shit is not affordable no more Zara be trying to

be on some luxury for the luxury for the affordable shit now you feel me

and all of a sudden they raise their prices I think

if Spain is not expensive but in the US that shit taxed as fuck Banana Republic, Ours, Black Taylor, Carhartt, Quince,

Doc Martens, Steve Madden, Johnson Murphy, Nike, Adidas, New Balance, and Asics.

If you peep, some of these are shoe brands, some of these are clothing.

Some of these are predominantly jean prints.

I give y'all options, a broad, I give y'all broad, broad options, okay?

Side note, I had an interesting comment tell me he wanted me to talk about more niche things.

Hey, y'all let me know if y'all want that because we can go niche.

Like, for those who know ball in the comment, y'all let me know what unreleased version of North Series this is.

Hey, look, the reason I got this on is it's pouring down raining outside.

I just got in and I was like, I'm gonna record.

For the expensive tier, we're gonna go Fear of God, Polo, St. Laurent, Mason Margiela, Brunello, Tom Ford, Agni Studios,

424, Vape, Prada, Yeezy, Jordan, Rick Owens, Mason Mahara, and Lemon.

Side note, Yeezy is low-key affordable now.

Because, you know, Kanye did his whole kind of like, I want to sell everything for $20.

He pulled it off.

So, Yeezy low-key affordable.

But old Yeezy that can't be sold no more is taxed and expensive.

Like, the desert boots, all that, that shit taxed.

Now the basics you're going to need if you don't want to shop in these brands, you just want basics.

You'll need tees, long sleeves, button-ups, chinos, or just jeans, a denim jacket, light hoodies,

neutral sweaters, a trench, and a bomber jacket.

Now your basics are going to be breathable, versatile, and they'll set the foundation.

Once these locked in, everything else will happen naturally.

Trust.

Next topic.

Now the next thing we're going to be talking about are shoes

that you need and the type of shoes

that you need you'll need a boot a sneaker a loafer

and a pair of slides that's really all you need i

personally think building a simple swappable wardrobe with expensive pieces is the way

and you can also thrift as well instead of just buying a bunch of fast fashion

or i wouldn't even say buying fast fashion is a problem i would say more

so of like you don't want to do too much with

your wardrobe you feel what i'm saying i know i said boots it's kind of broad

so i'll tell you the type of boots you should get

first of all you got to get some combat boots

and no you don't need to get all these boots i'm I'm just giving you the type of boots.

Feel me?

Workwear boots, grunge boots, platform boots, Chelsea boots, ankle boots, dress boots, and rain boots.

Hey, do not sleep on rain boots, all right?

I had a pair of Balenciaga Troopers for like two years.

That was my favorite shoe.

I'm low-key finna rebuy it again after I get the Margielas.

Let me give you a few statement boots.

These 424s, these Balenciagas, these Balenciagas, and these Balenciagas.

These Prada boots right here, these Prada boots right here, these Rick Owen, Doc Martens, these from 424.

If you know, you know the fashion sweats on the internet love to act like 424 is just mainstream

and i'm literally sweating myself nigga

that shit is not mainstream there's still people who don't even know the difference between converts

and rick owens bro chill out bro got some brands you should look at

when it comes to shopping for boots you should look at

doc martin for sure zara steve madden johnson murphy asos timberland balenciaga rick owens ysl prada

and 424 i know i'm glazing 424 in this video, but I'm getting ready to buy these on screen.

I'm gonna put them on screen.

I'm getting ready to buy these.

Bro, I'm too fucking excited for these.

I ain't gonna lie.

Now for sneakers, I recommend a pair of Chuck Taylors.

I recommend a pair of Converse's of any of this sort.

Dior, Rick Owens, any type of Converse.

German army inspired sneakers, streetwear canvas sneakers, and grunge slash, hold on, I actually don't know how to pronounce this.

100

I always hear it.

101

Avant-Garde?

102

Avant?

103

That would sound kind of like...

104

Advance.

105

You know what I mean?

106

Hey, Avant-Garde sneakers.

107

108

112

Now you're gonna need some slides, because let's face it, you gotta be comfy too, bro.

Another thing I don't know how to pronounce, but I literally have a paradigm.

115

117

Tolga Virilis Loafers.

118

119

Yeezy slides, don't sleep.

120

Marnie slides, but next, y'all.

121

Good fellow slides.

122

I don't know why people low-key glaze the hell out of these.

123

They're low-key just regular slides, but they're good, though.

124

They're good, though.

125

Nike Conn slides, And the Nike mine was I bought those

126

but I've heard good things about them So tap in

127

if you ever need here's my Instagram on screen DM at the end of the video I answer questions, okay, and by the way, if you made it this far I usually don't ask for it, but I really appreciate it

128

if y'all subscribe I'm mad close to 100k I'll eyes a video like 170k

129

and then you got like 5k subscribers like that.

130

Alright listen.

131

I'm helping you I'm giving you free game

132

Next thing we're gonna be talking about our accessories and statement pieces

133

that a problem with accessories is they're often They're often the last thing

134

that people don't focus on not knowing

135

that it's like the icing on the cake And what the hell is a cake with no icing, bro?

136

Niggas eat naked cakes and shit.

137

You be eating naked cakes, don't you?

138

You like cakes with no icing, don't you?

139

I ain't gonna judge you.

140

I ain't judging you weird I'm not saying you go over the top of your accessories

141

But I'll tell you something

142

that you need to add into your accessory bag Lightweight scarves

143

minimal jewelry bracelets chains rings hats sunglasses bags heavy on bags And maybe a watch.

144

For my girls, y'all know like the big bracelets.

145

I just, I already said bracelets.

146

Y'all get what I'm trying to say.

147

Accesories complete outfits, okay?

148

They're not the thing that makes outfits, but they complete them.

149

They add personality and they add style, okay?

150

Here's an example of one of my fits on screen.

151

All black fit, leather bag, my hair is dyed.

152

Yes, your hair can be an accessory, okay?

153

Wire headphones, okay?

154

Wallet chain, double-cross pendant, swag.

155

Now, statement, we can talk about statement pieces.

156

We can talk about this jacket right here, this vet mom's jacket that Kanye wore

157

and absolutely absolutely killed his reputation in fire jacket by the

158

way we could talk about the margela one that's been glazed over the internet

159

and every single person who has one

160

that isn't celebrity is most likely 99% repping this shit

161

because it was only a few made and

162

if you have one you're lying i'm definitely jealous as fuck

163

and i want it we're talking about the margela gas splatter

164

we could talk about we could talk about these chrome hearts

165

we could talk about anything okay rick owen doc martens

166

or whatever you don't need everything in your piece to be a statement okay low key unless that's your swag

167

and it's only a few people

168

that can really pull it off first of off you have the money to pull it off it's crazy

169

but second of all it only works

170

if that's literally your swag is wearing pieces like bruce opremont

171

for example the streamer bro his fits are od all he

172

does is wear statements bro like he got a grill on

173

pretty much in like every piece like the north face jacket

174

i first seen it on cardi i personally love bruce's fit

175

better shout out to bruce oh you can even say kai

176

shanetti even though i think kai got a fucking stylist

177

but i mean kai be having hella pieces jimora the story

178

bro statement pieces like bowl jackets unique shit They make your fits memorable, but you don't need to go OD with them, bro.

179

We talk about that in Laren, but you don't need to go OD with it, bro.

180

Subtly is 100% the key.

181

Feel me?

182

Not discreet, though.

183

Not hidden, but subtly.

184

You don't want to do too, too much, but you don't want to do too little, okay?

185

Essentially, what I want to tell you, bro, is this is the point where your fit stops being basic and starts being intentional.

186

That boy Buffett, fuck.

187

He just want to work out.

188

The most consistent question I always get is where are your flare pants from?

189

The truth is I honed my upcycling skills to make these from scratch, cut and sewn, made by other high quality garments.

190

If you are interested, there is a form and a description

191

that you can fill out and I will get back to you.

192

And as always, stay authentic.

193

the next thing we're gonna be talking about is how to layer now the problem is most people layer randomly

194

so their outfit feels bulky messy

195

or just off the solution you gotta follow a system you feel what i'm saying where every single layer

196

and purpose builds on the last one throughout this entire section i'm gonna have examples right here

197

because all layering really is is just figuring out how somebody else do it

198

and then just copying it

199

but then putting it into your own style it's not like

200

you're stealing someone's swag you're just learning how to do math

201

are you promoting stealing swag like i ain't even trying to hear

202

that bro let's start with the base layer okay this should fit close to the body

203

because it's your found it's your foundation okay

204

and the foundation determines the entire flow of the fit

205

if your base is too baggy too thick

206

or maybe too thin everything will just bunch up

207

and it'll look sloppy or it'll just look extremely baggy

208

and just disgusting okay stick the lightweight tees long sleeves a thin button up

209

that just sit clean on your frame you can dead ass

210

stop right here depending on the vibe you're going for

211

but let's go deeper now we can move on to textures second layer this is really where structure

212

and contrast come in so you're gonna add debt to your fit this can be color pattern

213

or material you ain't just stacking clothes layering ain't just stacking

214

clothes it can be accessories patterns colors It don't matter okay hoodies knits over shirts light sweaters

215

or maybe even a jacket a jean jacket a cargo jacket a jacket to go over your shirt

216

But two to three layers is enough envy more

217

and you already lost control of your outfit Now the outer layer defines silhouette

218

and the tone of the fit short outer layers They feel casual

219

and easy long layers They create presence and they make your fit feel more intentional you feel me?

220

This is where jackets and coats completely look finally the last layer is gonna be details

221

and add them with the strength Don't spam everything.

222

You don't got to get every flavor on your ice cream, bro.

223

Hats, scarves, beanies, jewelry.

224

And this range, you know, jewelry goes crazy.

225

You can do anything.

226

Vags.

227

They not the focus, but they're the finish, okay?

228

Like I said, icing on top of the cake, baby.

229

The goal is to add depth without clutter.

230

I'm not trying to see y'all niggas walk around with a shopping cart type fit, bro.

231

Chill out.

232

One or two details will always sit stronger than four, five, or six.

233

Unless you're a veteran and you genuinely know what you're doing.

234

Because I'm not gonna say that over accessorizing is bad

235

because there are maximalists who do it all the time But there are levels to it.

236

Okay now that you understand how to layer You need to understand the tights of layers

237

so you can actually pick

238

and apply to your life The first one is gonna be light layering

239

and it's as simple as one a tee a jacket minimal effort It's easy to wear it works every day.

240

This is gonna be a go-to We don't overthink next is

241

gonna be stacked requires a little bit more effort a little bit more difficulty

242

and a little bit more intentionality but it's still not

243

that hard you're combining multiple layers created a system from soft

244

and structured pieces this is where your outfit looks more styled

245

and not less I took me five minutes to get out

246

the crib I'm finna miss the bus now accessory layering takes

247

your whole fit to the next level hats bags beanie scarves

248

tie jewelry these pieces need to support your fit not dominated

249

if your accessories lot in your clothes yo ass probably did

250

too much unless that's what you're going for collar shirt layering throwing on a collar shirt under a hoodie

251

and a jacket brace up the deadline it makes your outfit feel way more put together without trying too hard

252

and you low-key get a business appeal without having to go full suit

253

and tie minimal layering is about restraint

254

and it's low-key one of the hardest layerings to do surprisingly enough even though it doesn't require

255

that many things

256

because a lot of people just overdo it a good uh

257

person who's like a great minimalist is tim i think his

258

name like tim the same i don't know how to pronounce your name brother

259

but his name is tim y'all should check him out one

260

or two clean layers nothing extra just work

261

when your pieces already speak for yourself

262

and you don't need to overbuild the fit now look once you pick you think larry starts being random

263

and it starts being controlled every piece got a role you feel me

264

and everything you wear will literally feel intentional i can promise you

265

that it will feel intentional if you follow the tips

266

that i gave you are y'all watching me for the tips

267

are y'all watching me for the entertainment we gotta talk about

268

this in my discord by the way i'll be on discord

269

yapping every saturday discord in the description i'll be yapping to my supporters i better get up in there

270

if y'all want to get a little word to word with me

271

because i'll be charging people to yap discord in the description

272

now the next thing we're going to be talking about is pants now the problem with most people is

273

that they overlook pants not understanding that this is like the eggs

274

and the sugar in the cake arguably one of the most important ingredients okay you can have a crazy firetop

275

but if your pants are off your whole fit just collapsed on top of

276

that most people don't even understand

277

that there are pants tight they don't understand the type of

278

pants from flare to straight leg to boot cut they don't understand different rises

279

but it's good i'm gonna break it down for you right

280

here now let's start with the foundation your pants should match your style

281

while staying versatile jeans cargo slats chinos they should all have

282

a place in your wardrobe depending on what you're going for you want to focus on breathable fabrics

283

because we are in the spring

284

so your spring outfits feel as good as they look

285

because no matter what type of piece you got on

286

if you feel uncomfortable in that joint you fit you gonna look like a bum

287

or bot that's low key why reps doesn't work for a lot of people

288

because the manufacturers they never get the item actually right

289

so it's mad uncomfortable when people actually wear it

290

and you could tell during reps it's just like that's just

291

not true bruh like i could tell bruh you don't hey

292

let me continue now your pants should connect your top half

293

to your shoes smoothly not fight against them okay next thing is rise

294

which most people ignore low rise cuts your proportions it can

295

make your legs look shorter mid-rise is easily the safest option

296

and i think that's most men's jeans because it sits naturally

297

and it works with almost everything high rise on the other end it elongates your legs

298

It do create a more intentional look, I can't lie, especially when you have tucked a crop top, but most people can't pull it off, but it's definitely one of the bit more difficult ones to pull off.

299

Now when your rod is right, your entire outfit looks more structured, and you ain't gotta do nothing extra.

300

Then comes the variety, okay?

301

Straight leg pads can give you a clean, balanced look.

302

Cargo pens, they more street wear and more functional.

303

Slacks, obviously, more dress pants, they elevate your fit instantly drugs give you a relaxed seasonal feel

304

so you get to wear denim you get to have swag

305

but you don't got to wear pants flare pants add personality

306

and movement they give you the hourglass silhouette

307

and they're kind of edgy carpenter pants

308

which is like the little baggy ones a lot of people like i personally don't like those

309

but a lot of people do like them baggy pants on the other hand create a modern relaxed silhouette

310

while skinny jeans on the other hand give them more tighter

311

and fitted look kind of crazy we live in a time where nobody dissing skinny jeans no more because

312

if you was in a fashion three years ago you know

313

about the skinny jean dissing epidemic bro now the goal ain't to wear everything right

314

but the goal is to know

315

when do you want to use each one where your pants rise

316

and variety of dowdy and your outfits start feeling more random

317

and they start looking intentional from top to bottom I can't

318

express this enough pants are one of the most important things you can possibly incorporate into your wardrobe.

319

I actually sell flair denim.

320

Link in the description.

321

Now the last thing we're going to be talking about is the styles to pick from.

322

Now the problem is people get to spring

323

and they feel like they got to just change the entire wardrobe but you really don't.

324

You just got to find your style, your aesthetic.

325

That style comes over time okay.

326

It's a combination of things you like, inspiration that you take.

327

Style can mean so many different things.

328

Style can honestly also mean swag okay.

329

Style is not something you wake up with overnight.

330

It's something that you develop is something

331

that as you continue to put more fits on you get better

332

and better all right it's like fortnite bro feel me you

333

keep going crazy then you find new build retakes bro you

334

feel me now here are a bunch of options i'll recommend

335

y'all okay casual streetwear smart casual preppy minimalist as leisure vintage

336

inspired bohemian relax lightweight workwear y2k modern preppy streetwear monochrome chic

337

and stockholm picking a spring style is low-key mad easy I can't lie

338

because it's not really about the style you feel me it's

339

not really about like the what style you pick is more

340

so about the swag cuz I wouldn't really say

341

that I have a style I just wear what I want to wear based on the swag

342

that I've developed in this style developed over time pick it

343

is freestyle guys you're shopping your layering your outfit combos

344

so every single fit feels intentional brother I just want you to be a better version of yourself now look

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
