cyberpunk high collection

 

 they're a bit awkward they don't

 

really work together that well as well

 

as things like the fit of those

 

individual pieces how they look on you

 

that overall silhouette things that you

 

would of course consider when looking at

 

other kinds of fashion and tech wear is

 

no different in that respect and again

 

that is absolutely a mistake that I've

 

made before I've just put all together

 

all of these things I like yeah these

 

are great examples of tech wear here's a

 

great tech wear outfit because I've worn

 

all of them together but it's just not

 

always the case so this idea of buying

 

stuff because it's tech wear clothing

 

and you want to assemble he better tech

 

wear outfit has multiple floors and

 

people can be caught out super easily

 

with this stuff especially if you're

 

just finding out about tech where you're

 

racing to build this cool tech wear

 

wardrobe because you've seen outfits

 

online you really like them etc they're

 

things that you want to replicate and

 

it's a style you want to get involved

 

with if you're not careful you may end

 

up with an outfit or an entire wardrobe

 

that doesn't work that well together or

 

isn't really appropriate if you're a use

 

case or doesn't have much of your

 

individual style and the things that you

 

personally think are really cool or

 

maybe it just doesn't fit you that well

 

but there's one other problem with

 

seeking out tech wear clothing to buy

 

and it's something that I mentioned back

 

in the beginner tips video and that's

 

that all of the top brands in this space

 

guys like acronym valence stone Island

 

Prada even guerrilla group etc etc you

 

will not find any of those brands

 

referring to tech wear clothing or

 

talking about tech wear if those brands

 

people that create those Grail tear

 

products that people in the tech wear

 

community really lust after those people

 

that really created and defined the

 

aesthetic and the performance element

 

that we now know as tech wear if they

 

don't use that term then how important

 

can it really be when deciding what

 

purchases you need to make this issue is

 

compounded by the fact that when we do

 

see the phrase tech wear clothing appear

 

it's often applied to and used by those

 

more derivative brands the guys that

 

aren't really innovating as much as the

 

top guys the guys that are creating

 

designs that are

 

very similar to the guys at the top not

 

quite knock off way but a not very

 

original way either guys that really

 

don't have the performance or the

 

features aren't as well thought how all

 

the products just don't fit as well or

 

even those Taobao resellers that take

 

stuff from those Chinese websites mark

 

it up and then sell it on without even

 

holding their own inventory this means

 

looking through the phrase tech wear

 

clothing can be something of a minefield

 

when looking for new stuff to buy

 

particularly if you're going for those

 

more affordable products because I

 

totally get not everyone is out there

 

buying stone island or acronym or

 

valence or whatever you do want to look

 

for that more affordable more realistic

 

stuff but even those kind of mid tier

 

performance brands the guys like North

 

Face or Patagonia or whatever that

 

produce perfectly serviceable outerwear

 

products they don't refer to their

 

things as tech wear clothing either so

 

paradoxically by looking for tech wear

 

clothing you will not find the best

 

examples of tech wear clothing that of

 

course is only going to exacerbate the

 

issues that we talked about earlier

 

about lack of individuality or personal

 

style about things not fitting as well

 

or not having that performance value or

 

utility that you personally need so we

 

found a problem here but what's the

 

solution again I'm not telling you to

 

not try and pursue this style not to

 

dress in this way and I'm certainly not

 

telling you not to buy products that are

 

associated with the style that we've

 

come to know as tech wear but instead

 

when looking at picking up new items

 

don't think to yourself I need to buy

 

tech wear clothing but instead change

 

those kinds of questions that you're

 

asking yourself when you go to make

 

those purchases so don't ask is this

 

tech wear but instead ask things like

 

does this contribute to the aesthetic

 

that I am looking for does this have the

 

performance or features that will bring

 

the value to my use case is this gonna

 

suit the other clothing in my water do I

 

have a plan of how or when I might want

 

to wear it is this gonna come in a size

 

that actually fits me by being conscious

 

of those factors you will undoubtedly

 

make better purchasing decisions even if

 

it doesn't change the initial product

 

that you were thinking about buying

 

you're doing so in a much more

 

considered and therefore in more

 

self-assured way you're being more

 

certain that when you buy that product

 

you're buying the right thing for you it

 

will also free you to explore all kinds

 

of brands in clothes

 

not just those prescribed tecware

 

starter pack things that you've seen

 

other people wearing before and you want

 

to imitate you can wear whatever you

 

want there's no reason not to and more

 

individuality and different perspectives

 

in this kind of space or in any fashion

 

space of course is definitely worth

 

having to sum this up and I suppose to

 

make a more general point tecware is not

 

a catch-all box-ticking exercise but a

 

way of integrating performance and

 

aesthetics into your wardrobe and into

 

your life

 

so stop buying tech wear clothing but

 

let the idea of what tech wear is inform

 

your purchasing decisions there's just

 

no other sub-genre of fashion where you

 

to think this way and if you try and

 

apply it to anything else it just makes

 

it sound ridiculous like I don't know if

 

you're really into Japanese Street where

 

for example you wouldn't be like mmm I

 

hope this new jumper has enough Japanese

 

street wear points to put it in my

 

Japanese street wear off it you just

 

like it just sounds stupid you would buy

 

it because you like it because it fits

 

in your wardrobe and if your style kind

 

of aligns with Japanese Street wear then

 

great that's really cool so hopefully

 

that has gone some way towards

 

influencing the way that you think about

 

this style of clothing and when you come

 

to make those purchases in future you

 

will have some of these ideas in mind

 

and if you do that then I reckon oh I

 

know I promise I promise you that you

 

will make better purchasing decisions

 

you will buy stuff that is more

 

appropriate potentially more individual

 

better-looking whatever you it's gonna

 

be better it's gonna be better in some

 

way but of course as always it's over to

 

you what do you think about this idea of

 

tech wear clothing do you think it's a

 

term that should be attributed to more

 

products or are you more of the opinion

 

that yeah you shouldn't really be buying

 

things with tech wear clothing in mind

general kind of thing that I've
