WHY YOU NEED TO OPTIMIZE YOUR STYLE

NEW VIDEOS EVERY *whenever i get it done lmao*

Frugal Aesthetic has been entering the "fuck it, we ball" period the past year where he is very over the anxiety and stress of consumerism fashion

This man gets it. The burrito bowl is the optimal solution to the chipotle conundrum. I left my fork in the bowl I was eating last night. Anyone who disagrees is a slave to big tortilla.

The Pokémon analogy works great because my level 100 Blaziken that cleared every gym on its own as a kid is equivalent to my one cool jacket that ties every fit together

Christian is the goat with the memes and the information… it’s like 90% memes and I love it

As someone who doesn't always have enough money to buy new fits, this video made me feel more confident with the fact that all my pieces go along with each other.

So my journey to this took a few pit stops:

- overconsumption
- felt shit in all my clothes
- obsessive about design systems
- started researching
- Kibbe theory
- colour season theory
- donated anything that didn’t fit properly, suit my body type, or that I felt shit in
- styled all my stuff
- bought the shit that was missing
- use Depop as a “shopping list”

Nothing is perfect but if I go thrifting now I can immediately spot stuff I want AND that I will actually wear.

Also knowing the “rules” you set for yourself makes it easier to break them.

I know what suits me, I also know when to push the boundaries a little.

Maybe it’s the autism but Im just happy with the system I have now. I don’t waste money on stuff I know I won’t wear, and I can pick and choose which trends to participate in based on whether they’re right for me.

And I’m no minimalist by any means! But this system made me confident.

I'm more of a Best Alternative with Least Spenditure Affordable Clothing (or BALSAC for short) type of guy myself

Getting more involved in the "real" fashion community over the last decade has been really fascinating bc so many people overcomplicate what it takes to put together successful looks consistently. The vast majority of my wardrobe has always been thrifted, and I've always just followed my intuition and been able to put together affordable, cohesive fits that are usually well received by ~fashionistas~ and normies alike. The secret to the magic has simply been... *drum roll*... to gather pieces I like that fit me well! Your wardrobe will be a lot less frustrating if you just pick clothes that 1) appeal to your eye, 2) make you feel confident, and 3) make sure you have a bunch of neutral items that can always be mixed and matched with bolder pieces so you don't look crazy.

Your taste is unique and like Christian said, something is only cool if YOU like it. Simplifying the fit-building process and styling a collection of items you actually love will lead to you trusting your own personal style choices more with minimal effort. Over time, that is how you become a true ~fashionista~. Keep shit optimized and you will be set up for style success 😎

I like to call this tendency post-minimalism: you apply minimalist principles to a non aesthetically minimal wardrobe.

my mom always says to not just buy one random piece of clothing without an outfit in mind, and i should fill the gap with pieces i need to finish the outfit or i won’t ever wear it

[MrGrimlocke]

I bought a pair of bootcut jeans recently for the first time in a decade and I'e been surprised at how comy it feels and how cool it looks. It feels like it makes every outfit look better for some reason. It's definitely part of my OYSAC

[GORILLAMASON]

This is it. We're witnessing PRIME FRUGAL.👑

[blaqflip]

just scored optimal fits from the thrift store! love your fashion terminology/takes, it just makes sense.

[jokerpilled]

Explaining fashion in Pokémon terms makes everything much more simple 👌

[lithpickett]

i think that food fashion may not be my north star, but god does it make me happy. ive found cake and ice cream high heels, gummy bear necklaces, piping bag earrings, lays earrings, and more. thank you for the inspiration, didnt even know that it was a real thing!

[poorcollegekid]

as someone going into their "fashion is pain" character arc with 0 funds in the off shore account this came at the perfect time legend.

[The_Skrongler]

Damn, "do I have the balls for this right now?" is an excellent question that I need to be asking myself more often in the fashion department.

The number of skirts I own is not proportional to how often I'm comfortable cross-dressing lol

[MasterDinomutt]

This is low key just great life advice thinly veiled under the guise of fashion 🤣

[ogsirelean]

This whole video is not just optimal its a burrito bowl 🍲

[BiggTipper]

Love this channel bc it's basically fashion philosophy. Normies and style icons can all get something from these vids
