  • Hello friends

  • and welcome to another video

  • This week I'm gonna be dressing like seven

  • different Youtubers

  • Now, as you guys may know,

  • I've done a few seven day outfit challenges in the past

  • Like dressing in different outfits that represent my

  • zodiac sign for a week,

  • dressing like different store mannequins for a week,

  • and even dressing like my boyfriend Tyler for a week

  • and I thought it would be fun

  • to try another one of these style challenges

  • but this time with the styles of other Youtubers

  • Just to see what it would be like to retire

  • my bat wings for a time

  • and try on some other Youtuber 'fits.

  • So I decided to do some investigative research

  • a nice way of saying

  • intense internet stalking

  • to see if I could come up with

  • seven outfits that capture the trademark

  • looks of these Youtubers

  • without one: just wearing their merch

  • or two: asking them for advice

  • None of them know I'm doing this

  • and I hope they're not mad.

  • Now, a couple of other prefaces

  • This isn't just a list of my favorite Youtubers

  • or the only Youtubers I like

  • Though I will say I do watch and enjoy

  • all of the following people's videos

  • so no shade to them

  • Or to anyone for that matter.

  • As a general rule, I chose Youtubers

  • that I think present a distinct, personal style

  • that I could replicate. So with that,

  • let's get to dressing like other Youtubers for a week

  • So for our first Youtuber outfit,

  • we went with Simply Nailogical

  • aka Cristine Rotenburg

  • HOLO

  • Tyler: (wheeze)

  • So Cristine's channel started off focused on nail art tutorials

  • and though she still does do those occasionally,

  • she's also branched out to a wider range of topics

  • including banana hacks

  • and spreading the message of "holosexuality"

  • aka becoming aroused by holographic stuff.

  • Cristine: "it's holo biiitch"

  • For this outfit I repped Christine's home and native land, Canada, pretty hard.

  • Tyler: Act Canadian.

  • Oh I'm Sooorry

  • Tyler: That's your Canadian impersonation?

  • That's my best Canadian impersonation.

  • Tyler: Very Apologetic.

  • Apologetic with an accent

  • With a sweatsuit and shirt from the Canadian brand, Roots

  • Which is a favorite of hers as you can see on her instagram and in many of her videos

  • I'M JUST A SENTIMENTAL SOCK, please, Roots give me a brand deal

  • Overall, it seems that Cristine favors comfy wear with long sleeves, long pants. And when she retreats fully into the hood of her sweatshirt

  • She calls herself a sock

  • Cristine: "I'm just a sock!"

  • Tyler: You look like foreskin

  • This is a different iteration of Sockfiya

  • It's Cristine Sockenburg

  • As for the shoes, we needed some item of holographic clothing

  • and I find that besides her nails

  • Cristine's feet are where she most often expresses her holosexual zeal

  • Cristine has like black adidas superstars that have holo stripes, we couldn't find those but these are more holo, so...

  • As I show off my nonpainted nails

  • In terms of accessories aside from her love of holo and socks

  • Cristine also loves tea and not just the metaphorical kind

  • So I feel like while I'm dressed as Cristine

  • Oh yeah

  • And her boyfriend Ben, brings it to her at seemingly any hour of the day

  • Cristine: BEYYN. BEYYN. Is that my tea?

  • BEYYN. Is that you?

  • Tyler?

  • Tyler: What?

  • Where's my tea?

  • (haha) Why did I sound like Cookie Monster when I tried to do that?

  • Tyler: Does Cristine sound like Cookie Monster?

  • I think there's also a hint of Yoda in my "Cristine asking for tea" voice

  • Tyler. Tyler?

  • Tyler: Alright, Imma spare the audience from hearing that anymore let's go get the tea

  • Tyler

  • So tea in hand and larynx thoroughly gargled,

  • the only thing we were missing to complete our transformation into Cristine

  • was a cat as lovingly harassed as her cat Menchie is

  • Crusty gang. Crusty gang. Crusty gang. Crusty gang.

  • Did I do it right?

  • Listen up Menchie,

  • I don't know if you're ready for this,

  • but, Crusty is coming for your whiskers.

  • So for my next outfit,

  • I dressed up like Casey Niestat.

  • So Casey Niestat is a daily vlogger from New York City,

  • who's often seen bouncing around the streets of Manhattan

  • either on one of his morning runs, or cruising on an electric skateboard.

  • Hey! Someone took my board!

  • He's also known for his signature camera work,

  • scenic time lapses, and montages.

  • How much do you think I need to film for it to be enough for a time lapse?

  • So for his outfit, I chose a black suit with a skinny tie, and Vans sneakers.

  • I would say that Casey appears very frequently in suits and tuxes.

  • He used to wear them more for special events, earlier on

  • but now a days, he's wearing suits a lot.

  • So, I'm in a suit. Tyler: Yeah!

  • Safiya: And there's a plane by overhead.

  • How expensive is your most expensive seat?

  • And of course, it wouldn't be a Casey Niestat outfit without his custom sunglasses.

  • Which he's almost always wearing, rain or shine.

  • The reason that Casey says that he wears these sunglasses all the time,

  • is because he doesn't like looking into the lens or the viewfinder and getting cross-eyed

  • which I completely understand, because that happens to me all the time

  • so I actually like the sunglasses approach.

  • We made our pair by replicating the instructions in our tutorials.

  • Basically, you take some sunglasses, put painter's tape over the back lenses,

  • spray them down in primer, and then scrape it off in a haphazard manner with a popsicle stick.

  • I haven't taken the painter's tape off yet so I can't see anything.

  • Tyler: They look good though!

  • Safiya: They smell even better.

  • Tyler: They smell toxic.

  • Safiya: Ooo, yeah.

  • Safiya: Casey's hair is also a pretty signature part of his style

  • so there's absolutely no way I can actually replicate Casey's hair,

  • because he has naturally curly hair, or at least I assume that he does

  • and my hair is much longer and straight.

  • But he did have a man-bun phase.

  • So I'm gonna go for like, a crunchy bun.

  • This is Aqua Net hairspray which I still have from our 1987 video.

  • I don't think he actually uses Aqua Net hairspray, but I thought it would give my hair that kind of crunchy looking effect.

  • Did you just spray one spot?

  • Though I would say that the hair and sunglasses

  • are pretty consistent elements of Casey's style

  • Casey doesn't always wear a suit, obviously

  • He has a more casual office look

  • and also an active running look

  • Safiya: 7 minute mile is pretty good for me

  • Tyler: (hahaha) You've never ran a 7 minute mile

  • Safiya: In high school I ran a 7:49

  • Tyler: Get the f*ck out of here

  • Safiya: And occasionally, he wears a Youtube varsity jacket and snowpants

  • and gets dragged around in the middle of a blizzard

  • to the tune of Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York"

  • Start spreading the news

  • I'm leaving today

  • I want to be a part of it, New York

  • Now I did this for quite a while

  • longer than I'm proud of

  • Tyler: Are we getting hit by a car? (laughs)

  • Tyler: I'm presuming you're going to heavily reference this video, right?

  • No. I'm gonna give no visual aids whatsoever

  • If you don't know the reference, get out

  • Though for Casey, I think it was more of a one-time thing

  • but I just couldn't help myself, I like Frank Sinatra

  • So for my next outfit

  • I dressed like LaurDIY

  • aka Lauren Riihimaki

  • I can't tell you for sure that that's how you pronounce her name

  • but you know, we're both part of the "hard to pronounce" club

  • so I feel like I get a little pass

  • As her name implies,

  • Laur does a lot of DIY crafts and hacks on her channel

  • And besides tutorials

  • She also posts DIY battles, an occasional music videos

  • such as the rap song "DIY Queen"

  • and weekly vlogs

  • which often times feature her boyfriend Alex Wasabi

  • Together, they have been dubbed "Laurex"

  • Tyler: Hey, Saf Safiya: Yes?

  • Tyler: What would our, like, uhhh.... Safiya-Tyler name conjunction be?

  • Safiya: Safty

  • Tyler: What about Safler. Safty?

  • Safiya: Like a little flaccid

  • Safiya: Filer?

  • Tyler: Filer! (hahaha)

  • So all the names are creepy

  • Lauren does experiment with her style a fair amount

  • But I would say that high-waisted jean shorts, crop tops, and midriff-tied flannels

  • are some key elements that she often returns to

  • Tyler: Yeah.

  • Safiya: So I'm just, I'm fidgeting

  • Tyler: Yeah, I feel like the midriff is a big focal point of this outfit

  • Safiya: So for this look

  • I went for a pair of black jean shorts

  • a striped halter top

  • a red flannel

  • a black bomber jacket worn around the elbows

  • white sneakers

  • and a pair of aviator sunglasses

  • Tyler: that's not very DIY Queen of you

  • Safiya: I'm DIY, uh, nose-picking

  • Laur does a few different things with her hair

  • But I chose this sort-of half-up baby top bun

  • which I clearly didn't execute very well

  • because it kept flopping around

  • Tyler: It's like an acorn

  • Maybe it could've used some of that Casey AquaNet

  • Because I kept having to redo it

  • Tyler: Kind of yeah. It's more scraggly. But it's more erect

  • It's not a "Safty"?

  • Tyler: No

  • (Evil witch laugh)

  • So for our LaurDAY

  • Get it? Day

  • We decided to try and recreate one of her DIYs

  • which required a little trip to the crafts store

  • 00:09:28,020 --> 00:09:30,840 Tyler: I feel like with the amount you like to eat stuff, I think you would die as a DIY-er

  • Though I'm not a big crafter, I do like stores

  • I found some googly eyes

  • I'm gonna go home and put googly eyes on all my plants

  • The craft we took on was a DIY galaxy phone case

  • made by painting a plain black phone case with nail polish

  • and buffing it in with a sponge stick

  • That doesn't look so bad! We gotta buff it like Lauren

  • though I wouldn't rate myself very high on the DIY scale

  • This craft didn't actually take very long

  • and I think it came out looking pretty "dern" good

  • It's kinda cute

  • Is it v cute? That's a high compliment Tyler

  • Overall, I would say it was a pretty productive day

  • I'm not sure I'm good enough at DIYs to be a DIY queen

  • But I could be, like, a DIY rook

  • So for our fourth Youtuber outfit

  • we went for Trisha Paytas.

  • I'm ready to mukbang Tyler: I am, too, I'm hungry

  • Trisha's channel is pretty much a mix of a few different formats

  • She does mukbangs, storytimes, vlogs, and music videos

  • Tyler: How many Trisha songs can you sing along to?

  • The only one I really know is "Thiccc girls are a boy's best friend"

  • But I would say that Trisha's glitzy, bold style is pretty iconic

  • This look, specifically, is a recreation of an outfit

  • that she wore on her Instagram earlier this year

  • as well as when she was caught by the paparazzi with Ryland Adams

  • It also touches on some signature elements of Trisha's style

  • Pink. Lace. Shiny. Comfortable. Gucci.

  • Or are they Versace?

  • Either way, hers are real and these are fake from Amazon Prime

  • In general, I would say that Trisha's outfits swing between

  • very casual and very glam

  • And we chose this look in particular, because it's kind of both

  • I also chose this outfit because I recognized the pants.

  • As we had bought literally the exact same pair in olive green

  • earlier last year to maybe make a video with, but we never did

  • Why couldn't I have bought them in pink

  • then I already would've owned these

  • So for our day dressed as Trisha

  • We thought it was only appropriate for us to experience

  • our first mukbang

  • So we decided we would take on a McNugget McMukbang

  • ala Trisha and Shane

  • What sauce do you want? Sweet and Sour Sweet and Sour, please

  • Alright, so we got 40 chicken McNuggets,

  • a large Diet coke and a medium fries.

  • Is this a business expense?

  • Definitely (Stuttering from Tyler)

  • And after receiving them, we took them home, plopped on the floor, and began to eat

  • So I just got all this stuff and then I've got, like, a giant thing of ketchup, too

  • Cheers to the mukbang

  • Hell yeah

  • Oh that's good.

  • Overall, I think I'm actually into mukbangs

  • So far this is fun

  • This is 1 of 4 boxes though

  • I have only eaten 1 chicken McNugget so far

  • And though I don't think I can scarf them like I used to as a kid,

  • The nuggets were pretty darn good

  • I feel like I'm having flashbacks to the last time I've had chicken McNuggets from Mickey D's

  • Just like *boom*

  • I know I'm like-- I'm 12

  • I'm smelling the plastic of the play place

  • There was always that one kid

  • That went into the play place like without underwear on

  • for some reason. Really?

  • Or you'd be like climbing up the thing and look up and be like: *Scarred Safiya

  • That chick's commando

  • That's traumatizing

  • It was

  • It was *Tyler repeats FOR NO REASON*

  • So dressing like Trisha plus mukbang A-check!

  • So for our next outfit

  • I went for, a superwoman

  • aka Lilly Singh-inspired look

  • What up everyone it's your girl Safiya

  • Good thing my name starts with an "S" so I can do this finger-thing, huh?

  • I don't think you're doing it right; that's a Z

  • What up everyone it's your girl Zafiya

  • Ah, okay

  • Safiya

  • There you go!

  • Zafiya

  • Okay now you just go between them

  • So Superwoman's channel primarily features

  • scripted comedy videos

  • sometimes showcasing mainstream celebrities

  • and also her rapping talent

  • And amongst her large portfolio of videos

  • is her series of her parents reacting to pop culture moments

  • We found a little less evidence of Lilly's

  • full outfits on her Youtube channel itself

  • where she's often in character

  • and you actually rarely see her bottom half

  • But we did find a lot of photos

  • of her looks on Instagram

  • I feel like Lilly has a pretty varied style

  • Though I would say her outfits usually fall

  • into three categories

  • Red Carpet Lilly

  • Bawse/Office Lilly

  • and sort of a Canadian casual Lilly

  • which is what I'm taking on today

  • This outfit, specifically, includes

  • distressed jeans, which actually do

  • make the rare leg appearance on her channel

  • chunky Timberland boots

  • and an acid-wash denim jacket

  • worn casually around the elbows

  • I think that one thing about Lilly's style

  • and some of the elements of this outfit capture it

  • is that she's definitely marinated in a little swaggu

  • Yeah, it's kinda like

  • my jacket's not really on

  • but I don't care

  • I'm also sporting a Toronto vintage Raptors jersey

  • This outfit is brought to you by the Toronto Raptors

  • And the Raptors brought to you by Drake

  • Yes, as I insinuated

  • Lilly is Canadian

  • as well as sort of like a Raptors super fan

  • and she can often be seen at their games

  • wearing an assortment of their merch

  • This jersey in particular is a Vince Carter jersey

  • and Vince Carter is a very prominent player

  • for the Toronto Raptors Was *Tyler corrects*

  • Was a very prominent player

  • He was cousins with Tracy McGrady

  • He was a cousin of Tracy McGrady

  • Well, he is a cousin of Tracy McGrady

  • He still is. One more.

  • Uh, he went to UNC (Tyler is just a "sport encyclopedia")

  • He went to UNC

  • Number 3 overall pick (Why....)

  • So he's not even Canadian? *genuinely surprised* No

  • Does Drake know?

  • As we mentioned, Lilly can also be seen

  • dressing up like her parents in her videos

  • who have pretty iconic looks of their own at this point

  • Coincidentally

  • I also have an Indian mother to dress up like

  • who in all likelihood

  • would also be shocked by Nicki Minaj

  • What? Safiya!

  • Lilly! Lilly! Lilly!

  • My dad, however, is Danish

  • and I would honestly be very surprised

  • if he had any opinion of Nicki Minaj at all

  • Why is it so loud?

  • We're watching Nicki Minaj Quiet

  • What's up with your hair? Quiet, quiet, quiet

  • (hahaha) what else can you say?

  • So next up for my penultimate outfit

  • I took on Jenna Marbles

  • aka Jenna Mourey

  • My name is Safiya I'm 26 years old and I have a basketball game tomorrow

  • Tomorrow's Thursday

  • There's nothing wrong with Thursday

  • you can have a basketball game on a Thursday I guess you're right

  • So Jenna has been on Youtube for quite a while

  • and over time, her channel has evolved

  • from shorter comedy videos

  • to longer, unscripted videos about her dogs,

  • her boyfriend Julian, life, makeup,

  • and the trials and tribulations of her eyebrows

  • Oh yes, and the basketball thing.

  • Amongst the many memes of Jenna Marbles,

  • I believe at some point last year

  • she began imitating a Vine about a boy named Trey

  • My name is Trey I have a basketball game tomorrow

  • It's unclear if her basketball game ever arrives

  • but she's brought it up many times

  • Hi my name's Jenna I'm 30 I have a hamster and I have a basketball game tomorrow

  • Hey guys

  • it's me

  • I have a basketball game tomorrow

  • Anyway. I would say Jenna's style in general

  • is pretty laid back and layered

  • and we get a good sense of how layered

  • she is in her podcasts

  • as she seems to be gradually turning into a human blanket

  • which is a good vibe, overall

  • but for the middle of July in Los Angeles, it was a little tough.

  • it's so hot! It's toasty

  • I'm hot

  • 2008 hot. Ba-dum-tsss hahahaha

  • As for this outfit, it includes

  • a black Twitch t-shirt

  • which is often repped by both Jenna and Julian,

  • a black hoodie

  • and blue and white flannel tied around the waist,

  • black leggings,

  • and black fuzzy slides.

  • Now there are only two examples of her fuzzy slides that we could find

  • But the one time that I met Jenna at Vidcon in 2017,

  • she was wearing similar fluffy sandals

  • So I can only assume she wears them all the time

  • Jenna also often wears a "Neat Dude" beanie

  • At first I actually thought this was her merch.... it turns out it's not

  • and almost always wears a dark black plastic tattoo choker

  • She's also usually surrounded by her dogs

  • Now we don't have any dogs

  • but we do have a cat

  • Yyyeahhh, we do

  • So Jenna's dog Kermit has a thing for Irish spring soap

  • But when we presented our cat Crusty

  • with a few bars of this stuff

  • he seemed thoroughly unimpressed

  • Immediate dismissal

  • But like Jenna's dogs,

  • he didn't seem to like being put in a costume either

  • now to finish off our day as Jenna Marbles,

  • I decided to do the unthinkable

  • and play tomorrow's basketball game today

  • This should suffice for my basketball game

  • look at how many there are There are a lot *Tyler agrees, unenthusiastically*

  • So I warmed up with some dunking

  • Is this regulation?

  • Sure

  • No way, that looks really high

  • Or at least dunk attempts

  • What can I say? I've got hops

  • Now I never said I was good at basketball

  • In fact I don't think I've touched one since my sophomore year of high school

  • But I will say, I made a lot more shots than I thought I would

  • Catch ya on the flip side!

  • I didn't make any over my shoulder, though

  • Catch ya on the flip side!

  • *Tyler wheezes* (Are you okay?)

  • Alright, I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead

  • Ahead?

  • I'm not sure Jenna would be proud of me

  • but maybe we'll see her at the game tomorrow

  • and we can ask her then

  • and finally, for our last Youtuber outfit

  • we chose the King of Trash, Shane Dawson

  • Me.

  • Now Shane has been posting on Youtube for like 10 years

  • and both his video style

  • and his personal style

  • have changed a lot in that time.

  • Currently, he's been producing a lot of long-form investigative videos

  • Often times in multi-installment series

  • with a healthy speckling of his classic conspiracy theory videos

  • Now I'm not exactly sure

  • where the Shane referring to himself as trash

  • meme began.

  • (sings) I'm not a girl, I'm just a trash bag

  • But I thought we couldn't wear his outfit

  • and not go on the search for some garbage

  • The top won't open

  • Ugh, me

  • Oh, hello

  • That's you after a few drinks

  • I guess in a sense

  • Shane wears trash cans

  • though more often he kind of resides inside of them

  • I've got it

  • I'm gonna do a three-part series

  • on luxury trash cans

  • TanaCon?

  • *more wheezing*

  • But besides trash cans

  • Me.

  • I would say Shane's style is pretty simple

  • and can be defined as a shirt

  • That is to say

  • he tends to find one shirt that he likes

  • and wears it for extended periods of time

  • Currently his shirt du jour

  • Or i guess du on

  • Is his "Oh my God" pig merch shirt

  • which I paired with black jeans

  • and black running shoes

  • And if you hadn't noticed, we're also at Taco Bell

  • Hey, look, I'm here

  • Now I tried to avoid

  • just wearing people's merch as their outfits

  • but with Shane, I was left with no option

  • Ooooo, that's their new merch photos

  • put me on Amazon, Shane

  • just put me right there

  • From what I can tell,

  • the only exception to this one shirt rule

  • is his conspiracy theory shirt

  • which is kind of like the shirt I'm wearing here

  • but this is just a dupe

  • Because Shane's actual t-shirt was very difficult to track down

  • So difficult, in fact,

  • it was almost like it didn't exist

  • so when looking for Shane's actual conspiracy theory shirt

  • I found two clues.

  • One was a listing on the website The Hunt

  • which linked Shane's conspiracy theory shirt

  • to a Poshmark listing

  • for an American Eagle Tribal printed Baseball t-shirt

  • But when I went to buy it

  • it was sold out

  • The second clue is the first appearance of the shirt

  • on Shane's channel

  • From what I can tell,

  • this shirt was first featured in the thumbnail

  • for a video called "Reading Dirty DMs From Fans"

  • published on January 29th, 2015

  • Now to try and find the thread to connect these two clues together

  • I tried to look for images

  • from the American Eagle 2015 catalogue

  • But the only image I could find

  • was this one

  • of their showroom in October of 2014

  • Now there's no sign of Shane's shirt here

  • But if you look closely at this hoodie

  • There is a similar horizontal tribal print

  • So it was probably an American Eagle t-shirt

  • that Shane bought in late 2014 or early 2015

  • and I may have overreached a little bit

  • A lot

  • But, hey

  • that's just a theory

  • sorry, wrong Youtuber

  • Okay,

  • so those were my seven Youtuber outfits

  • I really enjoyed trying to piece together these looks

  • especially the ones that were really far away from my own everyday style

  • and it was fun kind of

  • vlogging a day in the life of some of my favorite channels

  • I'm sorry if I permanently ruined Frank Sinatra for anyone

  • I'm not sure that this experiment

  • says a lot about how Youtubers dress in general

  • Because if I had chosen a few different creators

  • I could've easily ended up in all Gucci

  • which would've been not only different

  • but also very expensive

  • But overall,

  • I would say that most of these

  • Youtuber outfits

  • were pretty casual and pretty layered

  • Even if they did have their own

  • unique or glamorous flairs

  • with the exception of Casey

  • who's outfit was pretty dressed up

  • But that might be a New York versus LA thing

  • Although I guess Cristine

  • does live in Ottowa

  • so we'll just leave her up there for now

  • Thank you guys so much for watching
