in today's video I want to talk about underrated fashion Essentials these are items that I rarely see on people's Essentials lists but I think they could benefit a lot of people for reference I'm 6t I've got a 30in waist and I weigh around 80 kilos and everything that I talk about in this video will be linked in the description box if you like this video at any point please feel free to drop it a like and now that's all out the way let's get into the first underrated essential so number one is thermals and I
don't see people talking about these enough but they're amazing for so many reasons obviously they keep you warm but they also allow you to wear clothing that you wouldn't be able to wear in the winter otherwise maybe you've got a jacket that you absolutely love but it's too cold to wear in the winter well this is where thermals come in if you throw on a thermal base layer underneath your outfit you can now wear your favorite jacket throughout the winter not bad most thermals are skin tight too so they don't create a load of lumps
and bumps in your outfit which is never a good look and they come in a load of different thicknesses and different warmth strengths I'm not sure if that's the right term warmth strengths it's probably not but I can't think of anything else but you get the idea hopefully do you get the idea I hope so anyway thermals if you're not wearing them use them they're great but let's move on so next on the list I've got black sneakers so whenever I see an Essentials list I always see clean minimal white sneakers but I don't see
black sneakers enough and even though I love a white sneaker I think a black sneaker in your wardrobe could be even more useful but let me explain so if you're anything like me then white sneakers are an absolute must in the summer but for the rest of the year they're sat in the back of the Wardrobe collecting dust well mine actually sit on a shoe rack but it doesn't quite have the same ring to it but anyway that's beside the point let's move on but not only do white sneakers get absolutely filthy in the colder
months they also look a little bit out of place in my opinion so when my white sneakers go away for the winter my black pairs stay out to play because they hold up so much better in the Colder Weather I also wear black sneakers throughout the rest of the year as as well so you could argue that they're more useful than white sneakers I think you can also dress them up a lot easier than white sneakers as well so you could argue that they're more versatile too like take this pair from Co for example so
these are a copy of a more expensive pair of sneakers from Dre van noton but they're a really smart looking pair of sneakers you could easily get away with wearing these to smarter events if you wanted to whereas you'd struggle to get as smart of a look from the white pair the next item I want to talk about is black pleated trousers or just pleated trousers in general so when it comes to ple trousers people either hate them or they love them and I definitely love them and I think the reason why people hate them
is because they think the pleats look dated but in my opinion pleats are Timeless and I think they actually give trousers a more fashion forward look these days I also think Pates add a lot to an outfit in a really subtle way and they give you more room in the thigh so what's not to like I also feel ple trousers often drape really nicely and suit a wide range of body types so they're a flattering option for a lot of people they work well in formal settings with a Blazer and a pair of loafers or
you can just wear them with a T-shirt and they still look great you can get all sorts of different types of trousers with pleats in these days so there should be something for everyone as long as you like pleats if you hate pleats then don't wear them just wear something else so next up we've got tank tops and I tried to think of a joke to start this section off to keep Spirits High um but everyone I thought of would have probably tanks but anyway tank tops now I've really grown to love tank tops over
the years and I wear one pretty much every day at the moment in the summer you can wear them on their own or underneath a shirt and in the winter you can wear them underneath your outfits as a base layer I really like the lower neckline of a tank top I think it can make a lot of your outfits more stylish and sometimes when I'm wearing something over the top of a t-shirt I don't always want the neck of the T-shirt poking out so that's where a tank top comes in and if you don't like
wearing these outside the house for whatever reason they're also really useful to have if inside the house I often lounge around the house in these in the summer and on the really cold nights I sleep in them so they're really useful and when it comes to where to get your tank tops from Calvin Klein and Marks and Spencers are the best that I've come across so far but if you have any other recommendations let us know oh and while we're talking about Marks and Spencers has anyone tried that creamy Harissa Olive paste it looks and
sounds absolutely delicious and I might go and get some this weekend but if it's absolutely rank then I don't want to waste was my money on it so let me know if you tried it and is it good thanks the next item is zip up hoodies now pullover hoodies always get all the love when it comes to Essentials lists but I'm here to tell you why the zipup hoodie deserves more love so first up you can wear them on their own and they look great but in the winter you can also layer them underneath a
coat or a jacket and they look great too and don't get me wrong I love a pullover hoodie too but I think a zip-up hoodie gives you more styling options and I love the zip detail you can also wear them throughout the year a lot more than a pullover hoodie you can wear them undone over a tank top in the warmer months or as I already mentioned they make a great layering piece so you can use them to keep warm in the winter I also wear them a lot when I'm working from home or when
I'm lounging about the house because they're so easy to throw on and off and they're comfortable and they keep me nice and warm and another plus with these is you can take them off and put them on without worrying about messing up your hair so if you've just styled your hair and you don't want to mess it up just throw one of these on I also wear them to the gym because they're easy to whip off once you're warmed up and I always wear a cap and ovar headphones at the gym and I don't want
to faf about by taking those off and I don't have to with a zip up Hoodie but I'll leave links to both of my favorite hoodies at the moment in the description box they're both really affordable and they do the job but let's move on the next item is jewelry now there's quite a lot of people out there who don't feel comfortable wearing jewelry but the right jewelry can bring your outfits to life even something like a minimal ring and a a minimal necklace can really change up the feel of an outfit and make it
look more stylish so if you haven't tried it yet give it a go and once you get used to wearing it you only notice it when you're not wearing it if that makes sense but you can wear it with whatever you like in your wardrobe so it's really versatile as well but I think far too many people don't utilize jewelry to make their outfits pop and it's the small details in an outfit that can really make them stand out in my opinion next up we've got belts a few years ago I never used used to
wear belts and my trousers would always be down by my ankles of course that was a terrible joke but I didn't used to wear them but my trousers weren't down by my ankles I got the right size these days I think there's such a good item to use to add some detail to your outfits I like the jewelry it's the small details in an outfit that bring it to life but when it comes to belts I really like the belts from our Legacy All Saints do some great ones as well and also Andersons are worth
checking out but I'll leave links in the description box next up we've got the ma1 bomber jacket I was in two minds about including these in this video because I'm not sure if people see them as underrated but I kind of do but let me know what you think but either way I love aomber jacket and they are essential to me and let me tell you why I've been wearing my bomber jackets a lot this winter because they're cozy they're warm and they're great for layering with and whack on your thermals and your zip up
hoodie underneath you're going to be nice and toasty and you're going to look stylish at the same time I can also wear them in the awesome and the spring over a t-shirt or a tank top so they're really versatile and really useful to have I also really don't like carrying around my phone and my wallet in my trousers and bomber jackets have got Deep Side Pockets so I always keep them in there so that's really great and I also like to use them as hand warmers in the winter as well because they're padded Pockets these
come in a load of different colors as well so if you want to add a pop of color to your outfits these are great for that they've also been around since the 50s and 60s so they're a Timeless item so you can't go wrong with these if you want to watch a video of my overrated Essentials and get really angry at me click the video next to my head but that's all I've got time for today I hope you enjoyed this one if you did please do leave it a like don't forget to hit subscribe
