The best bit for me was the first one, those ripped jeans do look good on him. The black zipped jeans with the Ghibli top were pretty good, though the dangly straps, zips and even the rips seem too elaborate for him, but I’d love to see him wear any of these things if he likes them. The fringed top immediately made me think of angel wings, also any long-sleeved black top looks amazing on him. The light pigeon-hypnotising top was adorable and the light blue jeans suited him pretty well, need to be tighter, though, some things are too big on him. The white jeans and bright sunshine top were a surprise, he looked like an 80s popstar out of Wham or something, a cool dude posing by the pool. That’s definitely his model outfit.

I wasn’t sold on the rose print jacket, even without the tshirt being too long, but everyone was determined to get him into some roses and ripped jeans. Maybe a different rose-print thing would suit him better, his grey long-sleeved top does. The beanie outfit almost suited him, but even without the shorter jacket, the tshirt was too long and the beanie is such a look and he’s not that slouchy.

I was surprised Dan actually bought a set of pants, though not when Phil refused to model them. I remembered a brand called Clever that had some fun designs like purple with a dragon print on the bum or a similar design in black and grey, but the current designs weren’t so good and I didn’t think Phil would appreciate the suggestion (still, man has a cute butt, ngl).

So many silly outfits, now we know how he might suit some different styles and at least the cheese dress let us perv at his legs, those are nice. I remember seeing a few things in the hashtag, the cami dungarees, fringe top and pink palm tree suit (was it palm trees? Could have been flamingos for all I can remember now). I didn’t like the green and silver outfit at the end either, but I tweeted a similar pair of trousers, so at least now I know what they’d look like on him. If he was comfortable in things, I guess they’d look better. I maintain a dark purple suit would look amazing and I love the blue-and-red bird print jumper I found. I’ll have to save that for another time ;)

It was great to see the slounge again and to see how big it is. I could almost tell which tshirt Dan was wearing in the reflection too, it looked a dull shade of blue (not in a bad way, just not bright), maybe the animal print one he got in Australia, but whatever, he just always looks cute and cuddly in pyjamas. The bants were good too, Dan’s contributions were funny.

The video was a good combination of funny and serious, though i think the "what is this i look weird" reaction was a bit overdone, since some outfits really suited him, and some outfits were a bit repetitive like ripped jeans in different color, but Dan's commentary was funny.

For a tiny split second I was worried he was actually going to go through with the underwear and was prepared to cringe, i like that Dan bought them just to troll him, or maybe to have him model them privately.

This is definitely in my top favorite videos of Phil's.
I wish I could write something more coherent and analytical but my brain doesn't work anymore and I can officially blame Phil for that. :stan:
Brb, going to rewatch it 10 times.

Has been a while since my last post, hello everyone
I enjoyed the video, I think it was actually one of my favorites from the last weeks? And the beanie outfit in the beginning looked quite good!

Did anyone else notice that reflection-Dan didn't look like he was wearing pyjamas at all? :illuminati:

I assumed it was the t-shirt and black sweatpants combo that he counts as pyjamas. Though Phil was pretty clear in liveshows that he wanted Dan off-screen anyway, I think that's one of those things where he's giving context in the video that is super simply and easy to understand ("Dan's in pyjamas so he's not going to be on camera.") but to a liveshow audience he goes more in depth ("I think it'll be funny if Dan's narrating if off-camera, so I think I'll have him do that.") It would kind of be a fourth wall breaker for Phil to explain that it's a comedy angle concept during the actual video.

Ah, that's actually quite a logical explanation. I haven't watched the last liveshows, so I had no idea he had talked about it. Thanks!
It's an interesting concept. I think that Dan sometimes draws more of the attention to him (not necessarily a bad thing, just something I've noticed). It was nice that the focus lay on Phil in this one, and it fit the idea of the video.
(On the other hand, from what I've read, we all spent half the video watching Dan's reflection, so it might not have worked out as planned :lol: )

I've been so busy scrolling and reading everyones reaction that I forgot to post my own thoughts...

This video is one of my favorite AmazingPhil videos ever. Everything about it, the clothes that were picked (great job Dan), Phil's awkward fashion walks, and Dan's commentary were perfect. I am so happy Dan seemed to take his job seriously! :lol: And yes, I did get distracted by Dan's reflection. He's a distracting man!

I'm surprised not to see any bedroom discourse start up from this. I mean, it makes sense for Phil to not film in his tiny room, but it just reminds me how small the room is when he can't film a video standing up in it :backawayslowly:

This video is actually everything I ever needed. Blessed be this weekend.

So, I'm going to rewatch it and comment all the thoughts I had about it but couldn't remember immediately post-watch. Along with timestamps. Here we go:

2:34 - You can definitely tell he's a bit self-conscious in that super airy grey "TØP" t-shirt. His body language screams "hide the nips!!!" Which is a shame, because I think he look so great and I'm gonna need Phil to wear more beanies.
3:55 - Why are his catwalks the absolute fucking worst? I love him.
4:56 - Maybe the wings are a bit obnoxious, but holy shit does he look good in black.
5:36 - Iconic glass!butt. Is this what love feels like?
6:15 - *heavy breathing*
Image
6:20 - Cancel sleeves in Phil's life tbh.
6:43 - Actually the worst model to ever model.
7:47 - The entire reason this video is a blessing is in this suit alone. I wish he hadn't worn the t-shirt underneath tbh. ;)
7:53 - Butt.
8:26 - Dan likes the camo dungarees and I like Dan liking the camo dungarees. I only wish Phil had let Dan finish saying why he likes it so much.
8:51 - "Please just do one normal one." This felt Too Real™. Like sometimes, mid-getting-sexy, Phil can't take himself seriously and makes a joke of it and Dan's just so tired.
8:58 - Y'all think Phil's keeping those undies? He's keeping the undies.
9:33 - Dan's laughter really embodies all of my feelings throughout this video. Also, Phil shamelessly not wearing pants? Yes. Good.
9:55 - Dat leg. God. Yes.
10:35 - I definitely accidentally ended up paying more attention to Dan in the reflection for this brief minute.
10:40 - I hope he wears this entire outfit out. Don't give it Dan. You've earned it, Phil.
12:23 - Request for Phil to wear this outfit while collabing with PJ-in-his-gold-sweatshirt.

I just.... I loved this. This is the best solo-Phil AP vid to date. :loveeyes: TY to Phil and all the people who sent in these wonderful outfits.

You're definitely not the only one. I wouldn't even be disappointed if he wore that to an event. He looks great tbh.

I'm so happy Safiya got a shoutout in the video! I feel like I say this every time I post but I LOVE her I seriously want her and Phil to collab sometime.

I also think Phil has been working out but probably mainly cardio. He doesn't look super muscley, but he's definitely leaner than he was. He's also lucky in that he seems naturally quite well built (broad shoulders and some definition in his arms) so if he wanted to he could look relatively ripped quite quickly (can't see him wanting it somehow though!)

My favourite outfit was the white jeans/yellow shirt combo - it really suited him! I can 100% see Dan in the jeans and shoes though, I bet that's why he chose them. I'm also tempted to buy myself the rose jacket!

My only complaint is that a lot of the outfits were quite young - Phil is 30 after all, but some of the outfits seemed like they were trying to dress him like a teenager; I suppose it's just a reflection of what was in the tag though

(I am almost the same age as Phil and I don't think being 30 means you need to put on a twin-set and pearls (or the male equivalent) but I'm talking more about the cut of some of the clothes, the hats and stuff - especially combined with his hair a couple of the outfits made him look like he was desperately trying to relive his glory days in the mid 00's)

Lovely timestamps rizzo :garbage:
As for the pink suit... To me he looks like a school boy on drugs, but it does fit him well and I wouldn't be opposed to it if not for the colors/pattern/maybe the shorts.

Dropping in to say that this video made me cringe and laugh, I'm so glad Phil went through with this in this way. I had low expectations (all strange or all similar types of clothing), so.

Best outfit to me was definitely the yellow-white combo, it both looked really good on him AND like something he would actually wear outside. Opalescent(? ok google if that's the word you want) hoodie was great too...Wasn't a huge fan of the camo, but he didn't look bad in it, just not him, if that makes sense. (also, mismatched socks! Phil, come on now. It's a fashion vid.) Also liked the edgy pants, if you take off the straps at the back (assuming you can), they're just a cool pair of jeans.

You know, the shiny shirt at the end...If you used it as like, a second shirt it would actually be ok with some black jeans, I think. I kinda think he looks good in the color, at least.

If he does another one of these I hope they tilt in a winter direction next time. Fashion is easier when you can layer more, as far as I understand it. (Also, scarves and trenchcoats and well cut jackets would be a great look...)

He acts shy about the nips but sticks his butt in the window? You're either a prude or an exhibitionist, make up your mind! Or was that Dan's idea, he was pimping the hell out of him. :lol: :|

Well that was a video wasn't it? :garbage: ngl a lot of it was... not my taste :') And I don't even mean the obvious joke outfits. I was also very disappointed that there was no leather jacket anywhere in this video, like come on Dan get a grip. :sideeye:

Commentary:

- Phil laughing because Dan is being dumb behind the camera reminds me of that incredibly soft ass hidden clip from Super Amazing Project. Not even 30 seconds in and we already find ourselves in a trashcan. :philtrash:
- Just like in the Not Milk Challenge video, Dan is too vain to get in front of a camera in pyjamas.
- You don't have to pull ripped jeans off sweetie, let Dan do it for you. (sorry couldn't resist)
- That looks so fucking good, bless all you ripped jeans fanatics including Dan who picked it. I hope this will encourage Phil to show some leg more often. :tongue:
- lmao oh the beanie gotta go it's horrible ESPECIALLY with the matching shoes nuh uh. The rest of the outfit is okay but it still looks odd.. a bit 30 year old tries to look like a teen skater. I'm not super into it (but 16 year old might have been).
- I live in constant fear of Phil tripping over that rug.
- "HE'S A BAD BOY BUT HE'S SENSITIVE" lmao ok Dan thank you for announcing your type of man :thumb:
- Phil complaining he wants more color right in front of my monochrome dream aesthetic salad. There's giant roses on that jacket my dude, what more do you want.
- Phil looked so scared at de deflowering but he lowkey thought Dan was gonna put him in a bondage harness like every other kpop idol these days. Kpop phannies (that includes Dan) let me down.
- Safiya's pick looks comfy, I bet he'll use it around the house. Perfect for cuddling on the couch during a movie right?
- That shirt is payback for all those annoying bird noises, I see you Daniel :')
- "There's more rips than jeans!" Phil sweetie your old man age is showing. You sound like my dad.
- Dan drags Phil for all his flannels.
- ASs :ASs:
- Everyone is drooling over this outfit but.. I hate it. The jeans are alright (nah at the handkerchief thing tho) but I hate sleeveless shirts on 90% of the male population. And it being flannel only makes it uglier. A no from me.
- I will not lie. I was the tiniest percentage of shook when Dan gave Phil that ring. But only for less than a second. I swear. :phangoggles:
- Your Mum joke as if we're barbarians still living in 2010.
- Dan trying to trick Phil into being married forever by giving him a ring that's too small so that it'll get stuck on his finger.
- I like the hoodie but I'd go a size up.. it looks a bit on the short side. Or I just like oversized hoodies.
- Where can I sue the person who suggested that pink monstrosity? I want compensation for the eye surgery I'm gonna need. Actually nvm I'll sue the rich bastard that picked it instead.
- Phil censoring Dan's swearing with the dog bark soundbite cracked me the fuck up tho. Woof. Now where have I seen that before :hmmm:
- I hate dungarees. Especially on adult men. They're ugly and it gets worse when it's camo. Dan thinks the whole thing is a look and that's why I regularly drag his fashion choices.
- Dan and Phil have talked about eating sushi of naked bodies one too many times to make me believe the underwear was an innocent purchase. We know what they did that night.
- I could make a coming out joke over that line but I do have an ounce of class.
- Never mind the pink suit thing, I'm suing the person who suggested the cheese outfit. That was more than I ever wanted to see.
- THE WHITE JEANS AND YELLOW SHIRT. :love2: :love2: :love2: "A BTS musicvideo" Dan you ARMY bitch, they do one soft concept and you're already like this. That's SVT's Pretty U era aesthetic.
- Dan get your flithy paws of those jeans.
- ..I like the jeans with the straps and zips on Phil but I think that's mostly because it makes him look like he walked out of Ai Yazawa's NANA manga. In fact I'm pretty sure either Nobu or Shin (or both) owns a pair of those. I'm into it :')
- EWWWW. The material makes me feel gross even by only looking at it yikes D:

I had this issue too. Especially the skater outfit with the beanie. Just makes him look like the singer of a washed up pop-punk band from the 00's who is desperately clinging to the last bit of fame. NAGL. I'd like him in more mature yet stylish clothes.

That was great.
Like I was keeping my expectations low and he basically word for word said that I was wrong.
Also, I was surprised by how good he looked in some of these outfits! Especially the ripped jeans, those actually suited him pretty well.
Bless Phil for this, about to go rewatch it ten more times

Definitely. I really, really wish he'd actually been put in some 30 year old appropriate outfits. But I also didn't suggest any so I guess next time I need to put into the world what I really want to see. (Or, alternately: people did but Dan ignored them bc Phil in sensible adult wear doesn't appeal to the teens/rake in the views.)

Loved it!!! Agree with most people about everything - Phil is amazing in ripped jeans, loved seeing his v nice legs, he did seem self-conscious in the clingier shirts (he has nipples that are p present and they often showed which I think might have made him uncomfortable), he needs to keep branching out like this, Safiya shout-out is v nice, etc.

Some things I clocked that I want to share for no apparent reason -

Dan says "get your knees out for the lads" when tossing the ripped jeans at Phil which is probably just a common phrasing but I still did a doubletake, haha.

I liked the black denim rose jacket but I think it's funny that Phil said "it's a bit too Dan" which either means it's a bit too dark moody soft edge or actually means it's too much like Dan's aesthetic and look and he wants to be separate from it specifically, like they want to differentiate their styles more clearly.... haha, definitely overanalyzing, but still.

I love when Phil is pressing his butt against the class and then also right after when he realizes there are no sleeves and how you can see Dan laugh in the reflection! It was just a cute moment.

I love the ring moment and how when Phil gets it stuck, Dan walks towards him and then goes back after it gets unstuck... haha. It was just a cute domestic moment.

I love the bright suit actually even if Phil doesn't, haha. I'm not crazy about a short sleeve blazer but if it was long sleeve, I'd want him to wear it with black pants and a white button down and be a little funky. However, I die at the acknowledgement that the shorts were too tight and he was trying to hide his modesty.

Overall, very fun cute video!!! More content like this please!

Bless his soul, he looked so genuinely uncomfortable in most of the outfits! I have soooo many thoughts on the video ahh it was Too Much for my little heart.

1. If this was my first ever time watching them, I would've assumed 100% that Dan was Phils boyfriend. It had such a Jenna/Julian Safiya/Tyler vibe with one talking to the other who is off camera most of the time. How far they've come <3

2. Beanie-Phil needs to rise. I thought he looked soooo good in the beanie (at least when he pulled it on all the way, when he first came out it looked silly. Also it would look better without the fringe) and then he didn't like it MY HOPES HAVE BEEN CRUSHED

3. That format worked so well?? I'm sure logistically it's easier to have someone filming but I think having dan to respond to gave the video a much more natural and intimate feel. I think it wouldn't have worked as well if it had just been Phil giving his thoughts in a normal talky video. I mean it would've been fine, but we all know they're better together. I think Dan being behind the camera made him filter himself a little less, so we got some rather enthusiastic comments. Phil seemed totally focused on Dans reactions (he's not even looking at the camera most of the time) so it makes the whole thing seem less...idk like less forced reactions? More genuine interaction between them and less putting on a show for the cameras than I was expecting.

4. Dan squeezing phils arm?? Surely it wasn't necessary to SQUEEZE it

5. Phil looked so awkward and uncomfortable, I don't want to arm chair analyze him, but his body language made it clear that he really didn't feel good in any of the outfits. He just came across very self conscious? Personally I didn't care for any of the outfits (styled differently I think the clothes would look fine) but still...maybe it's knowing people/dan thought they would look good made him feel overly scrutinized or objectified? Maybe is just he doesn't like to be pushed out of his comfort zone, and his style (clothes/hair) is a big part of that? Idk I was just surprised how self conscious he seemed, especially on the ones meant to look good. For such a lighthearted video, I expected him to at least go along with the joke a little bit or try to work it. maybe part of why dan reacted so strongly was to try and make Phil act more confident...I'll stop overanalyzing now.

6. I'm so glad snarky sarcastic dan was lost in the woods and replaced by supportive enthusiastic dan. Makes these types of videos so much nicer.

I just looked at some of the YouTube comments and I have to say I’m a bit disappointed that so many of them are about Dan. This was a great video and it was Phil’s idea and he should get more acknowledgement in my opinion. I feel like it’s one thing to come here or to another board and talk about how we want Dan to do it too or whatever, but I wish he got more attention in the comments on his video which he may look at to see people’s reactions.

Ok, sorry, I’m being too sensitive and overthinking. Back to gushing everyone!

I'm so behind with this thread omg, I'm sorry I don't have the time to read all the posts right now, I will try tomorrow. BUT I have to say, this has officially become my favorite phil video of this year and honestly?? also in my top 3 fave videos he's ever made. Top dan and phil content as well, this is a highlight of the year wow, I'm still shook.
Everything was great, the outfits, the bants, dan's commentary, the general domesticity, the extended look at the lounge, the tiny dan and phil stickers (?) on the plant, the vibe of it all. I loved every second and I hadn't laughed so hard in a long time. I've rewatched it four times already and I'm still laughing.
Phil looked super awkward and at one point I was like screaming at the screen the same sentiment that dan also expressed "phil please just do one normal one!", about the struts :lol: But that's why we adore him, he literally couldn't take himself seriously and it felt like he was trying to be his most ridicolous self to conceal/overcome embarassment and general discomfort.

I don't know which one was my favorite outfit, but the black ripped jeans looked great on him. I loved the rose jacket as well. And despite not being the biggest fan of white pants in general, I agree that he can pull them off, so I'm down for him wearing them (not that I can see that actually happen though). Not so sure about the yellow shirt though, I agree with him that he looks better with bright or dark colors rather than pastel ones (even though I still remember fondly the pale blue shirt he wore in the pastel edits video, and how good he looked in it). Since I like how he looks in black, I also kinda dig the "bird outfit" lol.
All these outifts did feel a bit "teenager-y" though, I agree.
If he makes this a series or at least makes another one, I'd like him to wear some more classy/smart clothes, like dress pants, button downs, ties, even a suit.

[unpopular opinion time: everyone's asking dan to do it as well, but uhm I don't know if I want that. Like, on one hand, sure that would probably be another great video, but on the other hand, I kinda want this one video (that will probably be very popular) to be just phil's. Every time dan makes a video that phil has already made, dan's one ends up being more popular and everyone remembers dan's video rather than phil's. I'm sure phil doesn't mind, and I'm probably just being childish, but idk I like the idea of phil having just one good thing for him, maybe it's stupid.]

also, phil collab with safiya please
