This is your one-year anniversary of working full-time at the phone bros This is the official one-year anniversary man. It's come a long way. I've changed a lot over the past year Lots change man a lot. Let's make sure you got a look that represents that visual change. Okay Asher What are we doing for John's hair today? The whole past week John has been consulting all his homegirls about what color hair he should get what color do you recommend? Platinum silver It feels like you're telling me to just look like you Christina decided to stop by one of our other interns. What did you think about John style when you met him upon first look? John style is nothing. He has a stain on the back of his shirt. Damn white t-shirt black sweatpants I mean, where is the thought? So we're just taking a break and we're going across the street to cam boat bakery to go grab some breakfast Okay, so this here is a Portuguese egg tart aka a potat if you want to remember that just say potato drop the O and Then say the rest funny popat with that crispiness and then the gooey center. So All right So I got to get going but I wanted to lead John with a few parting words and that is be brave stay strong Be yourself and you will look like a pretty pretty princess in no time All right. Thank you so much All right, what do you think about your hair? Oh, I feel honestly like a completely different person it's crazy huge shout out to you All right, so that was part one of the makeover, you know Of course, it's the hair and the haircut and then now we're going on to outfits. Shout out to Fashion Nova men's come to mess Look, whoo. All right, John. So for your first outfit of Fashion Nova men's we've decided that we're gonna go with something that we call Tactical street wear. Yes. Okay. So what basically John you got the body of like a soldier you've been mistaken for a one-championship Mixed martial artist before while we're traveling in Asia. You have a very tactical look You could play a soldier in a movie in a way that maybe I would not outfit number one boom Okay. So what we have is a long black tee with long sleeves Okay, so very simple up top, but then you have your cargo camo pants down low and you have so many pockets here I've got one two three Yeah one two three four five four Five six seven eight. Yeah, it's nice cuz it's very tactical and allows me to like have different options if I need to So for example, if I'm out shooting I can like have extra batteries on me definitely look like this is the kpop Dance number. Oh, I'm not gonna lie. I'm ready to do some like tutting or Like do I gotta be doing something like music video stuff right now? If you asked me a year ago this time that I'd be dressed like this with hair like this I've been like you're crazy. All right guys outfit number one that's done. Let's go to outfit number two All right. And now we got your tick tock slash YouTube outfit, bro Is that Jake Paul or John Paul Basically what you have obviously you have your frosted blue hair You have this crazy tie-dye shirt that I gotta say to be honest is giving you so much color for the value There's a lot of color in the shirt and then you have your distressed denim, of course and then zippers on the inside So you can't unzip it if you want, but I would recommend mostly zip All right So John you definitely look like you got more followers than me on IG and for sure at least tick-tock And I'm sure it's not really you but I just want to show you what can work. This is a style or somebody All right next outfit right now for your tech skater outfit John you totally look like you should be on your one wheel shout out to the one wheel I really like this denim for $45 because it has a really expensive wash. I gotta be honest I'm impressed because sometimes the distressing looks like they just cut it with scissors But this really does look worn in for only $45 to get some legit Distressing I would say this is a deal. So I'm really all about these pants This is a pretty basic shirt, but it's kind of like what techies would wear like maybe an SF This feels like honestly something that I would have normally done more but I just haven't fully leaned into it But hey, that's why these these clothes fit nice next outfit Outfit number four you got your artistic Normie Now what we mean is that you look like you could go to art school or you're the artistic friend at like, you know So, you know, this is based off of a lot of different brands right now either rude or pleasures, you know Oftentimes they'll use a font that's like this I would say this is definitely more based off pleasures with the flame and everything and then you have your biker denim right here Which is kind of cool. You have some extra cool side pockets there John like this zip pocket Anytime you get a good zip pocket man, it's worth it because nothing is gonna fall in two And honestly having the all-white Air Force ones that are a little bit beat up is Extra artsy, you know, especially in New York. I feel like I actually kind of rocks and then similar to this in college To an extent to an extent. This is like kind of like a flashback, but I will say man with the hair It really just takes you out of that corporate lane man. So John is actually calling his parents right now He's gonna show him a new outfit new haircut. Hey mom Do you think I look better mom? Oh, it's like an artist color. Hey dad, what do you think? Hopefully girls will like me Next outfit we got the film bro outfit. Hey, so you got a beanie on top? Okay, you have the gray Heather hoodie striped shirt underneath just to give it some a little bit of texture beneath it You know to show a little bit of stripes down there and I really like this denim. This wash is really nice I'm impressed by fashion. Nova's Distressing technique To oh, yeah the strings coming out too. That's cool. That's a nice touch And then you have the Chelsea boots at the bottom in this colors open up the entire like wardrobe with flexibility option if I had to say which one I think people pick the most probably The first one because I think it's just kind of like it just it just pops You know, you got the camel pants on you. Okay, do you think you look like you were signed to an Asian pop? Yeah, I think it'll just make sense especially with the crazy hair, okay, okay, which one do you like personally which one do I like I cut this one. I like a lot this one. I just feel comfortable in it I feel like I can relax and just like I'm late. Yeah, it doesn't look like you're doing too much I'm not trying to be too crazy with it. All right So what we're gonna do is I'm gonna send you those photos. You're gonna post my IG right now And then while we go grab pizza You're gonna let your friends vote and then we're gonna also see what people you know in the YouTube comments At first it was unexpected but I rocked with it The new drip came out to New York He's living his life After doing all these makeovers one of the best things about Fashion Nova men's is the denim and if you're going for that look And you don't want to spend a lot on designer brands. This is a great option It has a wide range of colors washes fits different levels of distressing and even plus sizes So, you know where to go the links down below My hope is now that John looks like a top-tier creative. I'm thinking like all the shots are gonna look like cinematic We made you post an Instagram post of all the outfits and have people vote. What's the general consensus? What did most people vote for most I see a lot of fives and ones Yeah I think the most liked Outfits are definitely number one and number five number one is the black and camo and then number five is going to be your beanie Okay, David's comment goes Korean lambda tick tocker with mostly white friends founder of a frivolous app University normie hipster and then film bro at the end. So those are pretty much like the archetypes of people That would wear those said outfit So I think that's what I predicted my favorite one was number five and the one that it was gonna get the most love was Number one think it just embodies me You got it You got to wear at the end of day what you feel like is gonna represent yourself the most that's part of why I honestly The clothes obviously helps make a big difference as well and like, you know, that's really the full package You got to be able to put together the full package See, there's different ways to step into the creative fuel, right? You have to mentally step in there physically step in there and then stylistically step in there and to be honest with you a lot of people have a certain connotation about fashion over men's but after Going through the outfit challenge today. Like my mind's pretty positive. No, they're all pop You found a lot of pieces that actually do fit you. Yeah, I would wear every single one of them Actually, I'm gonna take them all home and probably wear them in my everyday life They actually all fit I'd say the jeans pretty slim on you because you know, you're a buff guy So you got big legs, but if you wanted to wear them slim, that's the style you could probably go up to 36 Yeah, no complaints.
