So, I’ve been watching a lot of music videos lately, and Drake’s “Hotline Bling” just kept popping up. I mean, that video is everywhere, right? And his outfits, they’re kinda catchy in a weird way. I thought, “Why not try to dress like that for a day?” Just for kicks, you know?
First off, I had to watch the video like a hundred times. Pausing, rewinding, the whole deal. I noticed he’s got a few different looks in there. One’s that gray sweatpants and puffer jacket combo, and then there’s that turtleneck sweater thing. I figured, I could probably pull off something similar with stuff I already have or could easily get.
Day 1: The Sweatpants Look
- I started with the sweatpants look ’cause it seemed easier. I dug out some old gray sweatpants from the back of my closet. They were a bit faded, but hey, that kinda adds to the vibe, right?
- Now, the jacket was trickier. I didn’t have a red puffer jacket just lying around. But I did have a dark blue one that’s kinda puffy. Close enough, I guessed.
- I put them on, looked in the mirror, and… I dunno, it felt kinda weird. Like I was trying too hard, but also not trying at all. You know that feeling?
- Anyway, I went out to get some coffee, just to test it out. I definitely got a few weird looks. I think one person even chuckled. I just pretended I was super confident and didn’t care.
Day 2: Turtleneck Time
- The next day, I went for the turtleneck. I found a thick, kinda oversized gray turtleneck at a thrift store. Score!
- I paired it with some jeans and those chunky boots that are kinda trendy now. It was alright, I guess. Not as out there as the sweatpants.
- I went to a bookstore ’cause I figured it was a turtleneck-appropriate place. I felt kinda artsy, not gonna lie.
- No one really seemed to notice or care, which was a relief after the sweatpants incident.
Honestly, it was a fun little experiment. Would I wear that stuff all the time? Probably not. But it was cool to step out of my comfort zone and try something different. It’s like playing dress-up, but for adults. I mean, who says we have to wear the same boring stuff all the time? Sometimes, you gotta channel your inner Drake, even if it’s just for a day or two.
Plus, it gave me a good excuse to watch the “Hotline Bling” video a million times, haha. And hey, if you’re ever bored, give it a try. Just be prepared for some funny looks, and maybe a few laughs along the way.
