- Yeah, I do feel a little like a pillow,
a pillow from my grandma's couch.
Hi, my name's Jordan,
and I'm a producer and nail artist in New York City.
I did these just for today.
I love clothes, I love shopping, and like you,
I buy most of my clothes via the internet.
Last week, I ordered 12 different recommended items.
I'm talking about the sections that say you might also like,
people also bought, or recommended just for you.
Are these recommendations on point or are they off the mark?
Thanks to Glamour and this tiny piece of plastic,
we're gonna find out.
Today's site, ASOS.
Cool, we're here.
I've recently found out it's called ay-sauce
but that sounds strange so we're gonna stick with ay-sose.
I love ASOS, it's definitely where I go for my basics.
It's nothing that's super, super trendy,
but you can find that if you're looking for it.
It's where I'm gonna go to look for
that really cute shirt that I could wear to work
but I could also wear out for drinks after.
Oh, wow, that was easy.
Okay, clearly I've been here before.
It logged me in automatically.
All right, so here's the deal.
ASOS's personal recommendations are tied
to whatever specific item you're looking at.
So I'm gonna click on stuff I've liked or bought in the past
and then I'll order whatever appears
in the you might also like section below.
My personal style is really varied.
That's actually what makes ASOS so nice to shop at,
'cause I could go get a pair of baggy cargo pants
that are in a camouflage print
and then also get a like tight dress and heels
that I'm gonna wear out as well.
So here's a dress I bought, now I'm scrolling down,
and here's what it's saying I might also like.
So I'm gonna get all four of these dresses here,
and there's actually a lot of variety.
Ooh, I'm a little skeptical, four, six.
They say I'm a size four, but they don't know me that well.
Let's see.
Now for another item.
I bought this shirt, oh, a few months ago.
I'm scrolling down,
and here are four more items that I'm gonna get.
I kind of could like these things.
She looks so cute, and happy,
and maybe like she lives on the prairie.
I would try this.
I feel like I might look like milk maidy,
but it could be good.
It's on sale, let's check it out.
All right, and one more item.
Now, this is a pair of overalls I bought.
I didn't look like this, but I wanna give it another shot
with other types of overalls because I love them so much
and I do really wanna make them work for me.
I think this is the same thing,
it's just in a petite version,
which is interesting because before I've tried
to squeeze myself into the petite size.
I can't really tell the difference,
maybe it's just shorter legs,
but I have been willing to purchase that
if they didn't have the right size in regular.
These all look cool.
Let's hit purchase.
Thanks Glamour.
Just review, these four dresses
were suggested to me off of this dress here.
The ASOS Design high neck smudge pencil midi dress.
ASOS, why are you making these names so complicated?
[packages rustling]
Okay, my first initial reaction is whoa to this green dress.
It actually scared me a little bit.
I think this is gonna look hideous on me,
unless by some miracle it fits me perfectly.
I want to like this.
It's interesting, I am curious about
how it's gonna hang off my body.
It could be great.
This pink one might be the sleeper winner,
could be just really comfortable and flowy,
and this guy, I'm skeptical.
None of these are the same style
whatsoever as the original dress.
I will say, the original one, it has, you know,
a really interesting print, a lot of colors in it,
so I'm hopeful for these two,
and I'm just curious to see what these two look like.
This is the Copenhagen high neck mixed print maxi dress.
Ooh, allright, this art piece.
This dress is wearing me, I'm not wearing the dress.
It could be someone's like weird curtain
that they got at the dollar store.
The pleated batwing midi dress in chevron dobby.
Ooh, okay I like this one.
This is flowy, it's cute.
It's not sexy, but that's fine.
I kinda get why the batwing thing, I guess, is happening.
I wonder if bats also feel restricted
in how far they can move their arms up.
Ditsy floral plunge tie shoulder midi dress.
Oh, okay.
This is the most scandalous of everything we've tried on.
I just feel like I could move, like I could move in it
and I wouldn't, I don't feel like anything's gonna fall out.
I don't know what's going on up here though.
This is the Copenhagen one sleeve
midaxi dress in mono squiggle print.
Okay, this is cool, I like this.
This is like the sexy side, and then we get conservative,
and then on here we have the conservative top
and the high sexy slit.
So it's really awesome.
I would definitely not wear this anywhere.
This is not my style.
I don't think I'd wear this on a date.
It feels a little like, I don't know,
I could wear this to like someone's baby shower.
It feels like the colors of a brunch
but the cut of like a nighttime wedding, like fancy event,
where I'm gonna go dancing and drinking,
but yet I would probably automatically
say no because of this.
This has just like kinda the right combination
of all those things where I can feel like confident
and comfortable and not like I'm like
really like exposing myself or trying too hard.
So this is the original dress from ASOS
where all of the other recommendations came from.
I can totally see why a lot of the other dresses
were recommended to me off of this one.
Nonconventional design seems to be like
the throughline throughout all of these,
and I really like that.
They're taking like simple things
and adding like a little extra element
of fun or like spice to it.
Copenhagen one sleeve midaxi dress,
the squiggle print, I loved that one.
ASOS just really nailed the recommendation,
and I love it because it isn't something
I would have known to go to on my own.
If I was just searching for a dress,
I mean, I picked this one, I wouldn't have picked that,
and now I wanna ditch this and wear the other dress.
Thank you, ASOS, I really like it.
These four shirts are based off
the original one that I bought which was
the Boohoo basic frill sleeve blouse in white.
Let's go for it.
[packages rustling]
I'm intrigued.
They're all not things that I actually would
have bought myself if I was just searching on the site,
well, maybe this like kind of red-orange one here.
They're all pretty conservative I think.
They all look like things that you
might be able to wear to work.
I kinda get why they're based off of
the original shirt that I bought.
It was a high-neck, it had frills on it,
a little bit more than a basic shirt
but it had something special about it.
So I'm hopeful for this guy, skeptical about this one,
excited for the orange, and this white,
I feel like, yeah, I might be in a men's puffy shirt,
but let's hope for the best.
This is the Monki check print puff-sleeve top in beige.
Ooh, okay.
This is not my style is what I should start out with.
I would throw this away if it was given to me.
I don't want it on me.
The Vero Moda floral stripe button detail tea blouse.
It's trying to be this structured peplum top
with poofy sleeves when there's
really nothing holding it together.
There's nothing, like it doesn't hug my body in any way.
I just feel very stiff.
The New Look herringbone blouse in mustard.
Ooh, okay, I love this shirt.
This, so far, is the first real winner.
This is great.
I love the mustard color.
This is the Vero Moda button down long sleeve blouse.
Wow, this is not great.
Initial thoughts, this is totally see-through.
Yeah, okay, this is entirely made of polyester.
I don't know, there's something about
it's too like trying to be silk.
I also feel like it looks like it will stain very easily.
I can lift my arms up fully and nothing gets exposed.
Looks better if I stand like this.
This would be better.
We could make this work if I resewed this shirt.
It doesn't feel like it's sliding off my shoulders.
I feel secure.
I like the way that it like frames my body overall
in a way that some of these other shirts,
they just kinda flop.
This flops but in a great way.
I feel, yeah, I feel confident in this shirt.
I think I would wear this.
I'm gonna leave in this right now actually.
This is the original shirt, the Boohoo basic
frill sleeve blouse in white, and I hate it.
I've never worn it.
I hate the way it feels, it's really scratchy.
I mean, let alone, you can completely see my bra through it.
I'm gonna throw it out when I get home.
I don't know why it's still in the closet.
I'm gonna Marie Kondo no joy from this thing.
Which of the four is the most accurate
to this original shirt?
I think the first shirt, the first checkered, muted brown
and black, kind of ugly-colored shirt,
that to me seems like very similar to this shirt.
They're in the same family.
They're like cousins, they're like ugly cousins.
The blue flowered one is like the bitchy older cousin,
older sister who's like a little cuter
'cause she puts on makeup, she tries,
and I really only like the mustard one,
the cute young child.
These four overalls are all suggestions
inspired by these overalls,
the ASOS DESIGN denim overall in washed black.
Let's see what we got.
[packages rustling]
Phew, [laughs] all right, my general predictions
for these four overalls, I am going to want to like
these light blue wash ones, I'm really hopeful they fit,
I'm skeptical about the black because I already know
that the ones that were really similar didn't fit me,
I really want these to fit,
and I think I'm gonna look like a farmer.
Let's try them on.
The ASOS DESIGN denim overall in midwash blue.
Ooh, I like these.
These are cuter already.
I really like the wash.
This is a wash, a jean wash,
that I think like looks good on me.
The ASOS DESIGN petite denim overall in washed black.
Oh, man, I can't believe these are
actually fitting me right now.
These were a petite size.
I am totally actually blown away.
This is the ASOS DESIGN denim overall wideleg in stone.
Okay, these are different.
I don't love these straps.
Didn't realize that that's how they
were gonna live on the outside.
So that's a choice.
I'm not sure it would have been my choice.
The ASOS DESIGN denim overall in rinsewash.
Ah, these are not as bad, as farmery as I was expecting.
The style factor for me is missing from these.
If I was moving boxes, this would be a good outfit.
They would just need to I guess maybe come in a little bit,
but also, at the same time, what is making them comfortable
I think is what is not making them as flattering to me.
Overall, those would probably be, overall, that's funny,
overall, these fit really great.
Overall, again.
I think overall, did it again, overall.
Overall, oh, my God, this is impossible to do.
I'm overall gonna talk about overalls overall.
Overall, this jean is really kinda soft.
It has some flex to it.
So can I bend in these?
Oh, my God, these are great.
Yeah, no, no, that's a little tight in there.
The height distance from where this is pulling up
is giving me a little bit of a wedgie. [laughs]
So that is happening,
but they look really good so it's okay.
I do like the design, that it has, you know,
a different, a cross in the back.
I'm trying to make myself like it,
and I don't actually like it and that's a sign for me
when I should probably put something away
back in the dressing room and not buy it.
So these are the original overalls
that I bought on ASOS.com.
They're just kinda like fine.
They didn't really do anything for me
for something that's maybe costing like $80.
I think my favorite would actually be
ASOS DESIGN denim overall in midwash blue.
It fit my body more, it hugged me in a little more
of the right places, it felt soft.
I feel a little like frumpy in this one.
Yeah, the light blue wash was actually my favorite,
and I would've thought I would have been steering towards,
honestly, the black or the wide legged stone wash.
So, in general, the ASOS you might also like,
recommended items, the things that it's promoting me,
I think they did a good job.
I am really happy with it.
I'm gonna utilize this tool more.
I already was, but I think they have more freedom
with dresses, and that's why I think this is really
where the win was for me in this whole experience.
When it came to the shirts, I'd love to see
what would happen if I started from a shirt
that I really loved because I think that they might
have been able to show me some really cool stuff.
Overalls to me were the weakest of the recommends from ASOS,
and I think that's just inherently
like an overall is an overall, overall,
and I did actually like this light blue wash
much more than the original black wash that I got.
So good job, ASOS.
Sorry I've apparently
been pronouncing your name wrong forever.
