that's it I am selling my entire wardrobe all of my clothes because I've got too much I realize how privileged that must sound but it's true especially as a fashion YouTuber I have been creating videos on the internet about clothing for over 6 years now and during these 6 years I have accumulated a lot of clothing my wardrobes are overfilled what's supposed to be a chair to sit in my bedroom has essentially morphed into a giant pile of clothes I'm even using my ironing board as storage yes I'm being really transparent here it's not always
neat and tidy behind the camera but enough is enough I'm about to become a full-on minimalist I want to get rid of [Music] everything many of us are guilty of buying too much overc consumption is a real thing and I realize I contribute to that as a quote unquote influencer for years I've been telling you guys what I like what I don't like recommending different brands and products and many of you have purchase Things based on my recommendations but I want to put an end to that so stop buying the things I talk about I'm
only kidding well partially I want to make a shift in my relationship with fashion and inevitably that will affect the content I put out my fashion has clearly evolved quite a lot since I started this channel initially I was wearing more classic Men's Wear slim fitting tailored Silhouettes and then I started going for wider more relaxed clothing then I had an experimental phase where I really started playing around with different Silhouettes Ultra wide pants with slim tops relaxed jackets over Slimmer pants baggie all over I even tried going wild with the jewelry and then I
cut my long hair and had my minimalist designer phase where I explored Brands like Amy acne got my first designer shoes with some Prada boots and after that I experimented with more Street Wear and louder statement pieces and more recently in the last year or so it's been more of a fear of God inspired minimal Street Wear phase and after experimenting with so many different styles fashion genres and sub genres exploring hundreds of different brands from lowend to highend I've come to the conclusion that I want to get rid of it all you've probably heard
of the 8020 role how in many areas of life 80% of results come from just 20% of efforts well that applies to Fashion as well most people only really wear about 20% of their wardrobe on a regular basis while the rest just sits there taking up space and to be honest with you I'm no exception to that I have all these clothes but I keep gravitating towards the same handful of pieces over and over again and that's made me realize what's the point why hold on to so much when I could just focus on the
pieces that I truly love and actually wear have you seen the Rick Owens home tour where he shows his wardrobe that's my closet I don't have very many clothes that's my goal okay maybe not that minimalist but I want to cut down on as much as possible and just have a tightly curated selection of pieces that I really love and wear on a regular basis I don't know maybe it's because I'm in my 30s now just turned 31 actually and sometimes it just takes Milestones like these in life to get you in a reflective mood
to rethink certain Life Choices or habits and I've decided that I don't want to be him I don't want to be that hoarder guy with a huge wardrobe of clothing that he never actually wears one of the things that I used to preach all the time in the earlier days of my channel was to dress with intention being intentional with your purchases the way you dress and even the way you live is one of the core tenants that I think we should all live by and I want to get back to that because honestly I
feel like I myself have lost some of that intentionality in my life along the way and I want to find it again I realize I don't need 20 different t-shirts hoodies coats and shoes I just need a few a few good ones that really suit me pieces I really genuinely love and I guess this could be a metaphor for more than just fashion really we all could probably do with a little less of many things with a little more thought and intention with the things that we do keep in our lives I don't want any
of the clothing I'm getting rid of to go to waso so I'll be putting all of the items that are still in great condition up for sale on my website tims.com at 50% % off of the original price and anything that's not in perfect condition I'll be giving away to a local charity anything unsold I will also give away to a charity so there's really zero pressure for you to buy anything but if there's an item or two that you really love I'll be glad to know that they found a better home the website will
go live on Sunday 9th of March at 5:00 p.m. GMT none of this means I will stop recommending clothes or making fashion content by the way I am still very much going to continue making fashion videos because it's what I do and I love what I do I enjoy clothing style fashion and I enjoy making videos about it but I'll just take a slightly different approach moving forward focusing on fashion analysis educational content product reviews and outfit ideas but always with a lens of buying less but buying better and as far as my own wardrobe
I'm going to be slowly refining it and trying to bring it down to as few pieces as possible but with the best highest quality designs for each category of clothing that feel authentic to my personal style I'm not saying that a minimalist approach is the answer for Everyone by the way some of you may love having a large wardrobe with a wide array of options but for me I'm at a point with my fashion where I just want Simplicity I want to actually wear and appreciate every single item in my wardrobe so here's to a
fresh start and to a wardrobe that makes sense and to actually be sitting in my chair again if you made it this far thank you guys for watching and if you do get your hands on on anything for my wardrobe this Sunday I hope you enjoy it and give it a second life have a beautiful day my friends and I will see you in the next one
