- What is that?
- Can I try this mesh situation on top?
- On top of this?
- Yes, on top of that.
- Are you out of your mind?
- We're getting styled by Gen Z-ers.
- Everything you've heard about Gen Z
not liking skinny jeans is true.
- What's wrong with my skinny jeans?
Look at my booty.
- [Kwesi] Are these backwards?
- [Keith] You look like an old,
married couple ran at each other
and turned it into one person.
- [Ned] Thanks to Crocs for sponsoring today's video.
- French tuck?
- Yup.
(Try Guys theme music)
- The Z generation, the last of the alphabet.
They're the new kids.
They get to decide what's cool.
- I don't understand their fashion
and frankly it intimidates me.
- I see kids dressing like the nineties.
You know when hip hop was just dance like this.
- Uh, it's like baggy pants.
- What if they come in and they're like, Keith,
you should be wearing cargo pants.
No!
Can't go back.
- They're just reviving everything.
- A bunch of hope, happiness, and rainbows.
- Oh, bucket hats.
Basically anything Olivia Rodrigo wears.
- Skinny jeans?
Oh, cheugy.
Do they even say cheugy?
Got a little bit cheugy.
- We have video submissions in where Gen Z-ers are going
to tell us what they don't like about our fashion
and then they're going to suggest new looks for us.
- And then professional stylist Audrey Brianne is going
to bring their vision to life.
- I'm a millennial,
meaning that I've been through a lot of shit.
Look at me.
I dress in all black and fricking boots.
I'm war ready at any fricking time.
In 2008, the market crashed and ended all our jobs.
That's why I dress like this and that's why I act like this.
(Zach laughing)
- I wrote about testing my fashion fears for the book
and then I realized I'm okay just being me.
I wear skinny jeans almost exclusively.
Apparently it's not cool anymore.
Isn't it always cool to have a nice butt?
- Has your hard drive ever overheated
while you were working on something?
No, because you're a Gen Z-er.
Have you ever had dial up internet?
No, because you're a Gen Z-er.
We've seen Adam Levine without tattoos.
Have you?
No, 'cause you're a fricking Gen Z-er.
- I think I've had a bit of a fashion glow up
in the last couple years.
Then 2020 came,
took a bit of a glow divot.
My style I would say is close, comfy, and convenient.
Shout out to people who wear the same pants every day
for a week.
Whatever's on the floor,
that's what's going back on my body.
You feel me?
Can I hear a hell yeah?
- [Crowd] Yeah!
- Hell, yeah.
- I've decided that I will wear all of the same color.
That way I know it matches.
One of my favorite outfits,
I call it yellow fruit salad.
I'm mostly wearing yellow and there's a little pop of blue.
A little nod to the old Keith.
Becky hates this outfit.
Easter came in April.
The world started opening up and I said,
this is the vibe I want to ride on for awhile.
Colors that would look good on eggs.
I'm kind of the skin tone of an egg.
- This video is sponsored by Crocs.
That's right, your boys got Crocs money.
- I've actually never worn a Croc or crocodile,
perhaps is the full name?
No?
- [Ned] Now Zack, you're a big Crocs fan, right?
- Don't walk my dog without them.
Celeb-os wearing Crocs and guess what?
Zach Kornfeld started wearing Crocs.
You go on a walk around the house?
These things.
Maggie's a nurse.
These things.
- Honestly, I never even held one.
I was like it's so light.
It's like a marshmallow shoe.
Oh, am I Cinderella?
- You have these little Jibbitz.
You can pop them in.
You could customize them.
So you can get them at a store near you or at crocs.com.
- This is fun.
It's like charm bracelets for my feet.
- When I was a kid,
I would like paint,
you know, the tennis shoes I had,
I was always like, let's add some fun to it.
So the fact that these are built to add fun to,
do we have any?
- [Woman] We do.
- Do we have a yellow fruit?
- [Woman] We have a pineapple!
- Oh.
(laughing)
Excuse me.
I am fully now a fruit salad.
- Oh, what's that?
I'm about to be chased by a mythical beast?
Boom, sports mode.
Now no one can catch me.
(Zack laughing)
- It feels nice.
It makes me want to walk like I'm in a video game.
- Crocs, you get to show your personality on your feet.
- These are fun.
They're like a tie dye rainbow.
Sport mode activated.
Croc, Croc, Croc.
- Hello, platform Crocs.
Oh, yeah.
Kayla, what do you think?
- [Kayla] Looking good.
- Shortest Try Guy?
Not anymore.
Thanks, Crocs.
- I'm so nervous.
- Oh, she's giggly, I like her.
- Hi, right off the bat,
millennial man?
Is there anything wrong with that?
No, because Keith does it well.
- That's right, I do it good, baby.
- The nicest way I could describe how Ned
currently dresses is he's like just some guy.
I don't mean that in a mean way.
- Kind of felt mean.
- I like the way you dress.
- Nice.
- I just don't love it.
(Kwesi laughing)
- Do you have this very soft boy look?
It can be used as a strength.
- Wait, soft boy is the name of a look?
That's me.
I am soft boy.
- A do take a lot of inspiration from androgynous creators.
- Androgynous.
- This is Maggie's jacket.
- I take a lot of inspiration from J-Hope, Ji-min.
- I'm sorry, are we talking about BTS, Dhana?
- So for today's look,
I wanted to combine Ji-min's in real lifestyle
with his stage persona.
- Shut the (beep) up.
- Blouses like harnesses with a sweater vest.
- Blouses and harnesses?
Harness sounds painful but maybe it would help
with my posture.
- Walk out in that outfit thinking
that everyone around you is your bitch
and don't care what anyone thinks.
- You're my bitch.
What's up, bitch?
You are my bitch.
You, you're my bitch.
- There's not much shape.
It's all like a rectangle.
It just goes straight down.
- I don't even know what you mean when you say shape.
- Everything you've heard about Gen Z
not liking skinny jeans is true.
- Time the (beep) out.
What's wrong with my skinny jeans?
Look at my booty.
- Most are really influenced by musicians I like.
I listened to a lot of Lil Nas X.
Really what we want to do is go absolutely wild
with the accessories.
- Oh no.
- Instead of just doing a normal belt,
I want something chunky,
maybe something with chains on it,
maybe like a corset belt.
- Chains?
- Chains.
- Chains?
- Add chains to the outfit.
Androgynous, edgy, confusing to old people.
If you get those three down, you're good.
- I think they're going to turn me into
what Eugene wears all the time.
- I feel like my main complaint is that I'm bored.
- Yeah.
- I take a lot of style inspiration from like the mid-1980s.
Big, chunky, thick boots.
Rolling your jeans.
- Come on.
What do you want me to do?
I'm already here.
- The style that I have put together for Kwesi today.
Think like "Miami Vice" type of jacket.
- [Kwesi] Ooh, I'm with this.
- Some chain necklaces, maybe even a choker.
- I'm scared of things around my neck.
- I think it would be cool to put Kwesi in one
of those under bust corsets.
(beep)
- What?
I grew up in Brooklyn in like the nineties and 2000s.
It's not the Brooklyn that it is today.
I always was the guy who was like,
hey, I'm not a part of showing a lot
of attention so anyone can pay attention to me.
I'm always going to play the background.
What Marie is saying,
she wants me to stand out a bit
and that (beep) terrifies me.
Oh my God.
- I am taking inspo for Keith's style
from Mr. Tyler, the Creator, actually.
- [Keith] What?
- Here's what I'm getting from Keith.
He has that little preppy vibe as well.
Californian, more casual.
So I want to make him this indie soft boy,
almost skater type.
- I'm so scared of skateboarding.
- If you get your hands on the ugliest sweater
and you're like, is this fashionable?
It probably is.
- Is Gen Z fashion millennial joke fashion?
This idea of like purposefully dressing sort
of garish and bad that we would do for themed parties.
Is that Gen Z basic style?
Is it our fault?
- I want to see Keith in maybe a pair
of utility looking cargo pants.
- Oh no!
We just need to unpack a moment here.
Everything that she said she wanted
to see me in was what I was wearing
in the first ever "Try Guys Get Made Over by Teenagers."
All this time,
I've been running towards something I thought I should be
and I find out I should've just stayed how I was.
- I'd love to see it.
- I am Audrey Brianne.
I'm an LA-based stylist,
specializing in celeb wardrobe styling.
We've got our Crocs,
got all kinds of accessories,
it's going to be great.
You've got like a Tyler, the Creator situation.
- That's right, wow.
- I want to try this guy on first.
- [Keith] I never wear cozy clothes.
- [Audrey] Yeah.
- When I'm wearing this,
I feel like I'm going to bed.
- In a bad way?
- No.
- So Dhana has a Ji-min inspired look for me today?
- Yeah, she does.
Cool ripped denim,
patterned paisley corduroy.
- Oh my God.
- Okay, wow, high-waisted.
- Yeah.
- [Ned] Very high-waisted.
- [Audrey] Very.
- Little pirate vibes.
It's very loose.
That's how it's supposed to be.
- That's in right now.
- Very loose.
- [Audrey] And tie dye is super in right now.
It is everywhere.
- Like a parachute.
- Would you ever in life?
- Never.
Yeah, let me finish the sentence for you.
I will never wear this in my life.
- Okay.
- Should I tuck or no tuck?
- No tuck, please.
- No tuck, I didn't know.
- This is what I would do.
Cuff this all the way.
All of the shirts right now, they're long.
- They are very long.
- I just finally got a mediocre physique
and they're just trying to cover it up.
(Audrey laughing)
- Oh wow.
These are so comfortable, you guys.
So you're telling me I can wear pajamas
and Crocs to the office
and it's considered a good thing?
- This is actually really cute.
- You feeling this?
- I'm saying it's cute 'cause it is.
- I'm like at the Essence Fest or something like that,
you know what I mean?
Get my LL Cool J on with the.
- I think that's kind of cool.
- That's scary.
(crowd laughing)
- Can I wear that hat?
What do we think?
No?
How about now?
- [Woman] You look like a creepy uncle.
- This is less creepy.
I'm getting reaction from the room
that this made it not creepy anymore.
- I'm ready to hypnotize people with my crotch.
- The button at the bottom.
I would undo that one.
- 'Cause you want to let people be hypnotized by the crotch.
- Hey oh.
Things kind of.
- Let me belly hair air out?
Hello.
- [Audrey] It's blousey.
- I feel like standing still
and just like playing with my belly button.
I don't know if that freaks anyone out in the world.
You don't even want to look at it, huh?
- You know what?
No, we're all here right now.
(Audrey laughing)
(Keith laughing)
- What is that?
- Can I try this mesh situation on top?
- On top of this?
- Yes, on top of that.
- Are you out of your mind?
- I don't know.
- You're going to look me in the eyes
and tell me this is not a lewk?
- It's a lewk.
- Oh!
Oh, yo.
Can I have this?
- [Audrey] Yes.
- No, for real, for real.
- [Audrey] For real.
- French tuck?
French tuck?
- Yup.
- Although I would listen
to this person's experimental music.
- I just can't wait to move to Sweden
and start my real life.
- Gen Z.
- This shit's like really like walk in the room.
Everyone's like, oh snap.
Who's that?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's what I don't want.
(Kwesi laughing)
- You know Olivia Rodrigo follows me.
Does she follow you guys?
- I know that.
So upsetting still.
- We didn't, we don't have to bring that in this video.
- We're trying to just like bring more color
and kind of a different silhouette
and look to Kwesi's wardrobe.
We're going to make him look hip and trendy.
- Open your eyes.
(group cheering)
- Oh my God!
Wow!
Whoa!
- [Zach] You look so fly.
- [Kwesi] Do I?
- [Keith] It looks real.
- This is propping me up.
- It looks like you could really wear this.
- You saw somebody dressed like this before?
- [Keith] Well, I haven't.
(Kwesi laughing)
- [Ned] You like it?
- [Zach] I mean.
- I don't like it.
(Keith laughing)
Actually.
- There it is.
- No, I don't like it.
No.
The belt is just much but it's great for my figure.
- [Ned] You're looking cinched, bro.
- Yeah?
Sitched?
- [Ned] Cinched.
- [Kwesi] Oh, singed.
Like burnt?
- [Ned] No, no, not singed.
- [Keith] Not singed.
- [Zach] You just look so expensive.
- I do?
This outfit is crazy, dude.
The pink shirt is a no bueno.
I only could wear this for a couple
of minutes before I start losing my breath.
The pants are way too big.
The boots is okay if it's raining.
(group laughing)
- You are absolutely pulling this off head to toe.
- Are you serious?
- [Keith] You really are.
- Yo, these are all lies, guys.
- I think it's because you always carry yourself
with a lot of confidence in your physicality.
So even though you yourself don't like it,
when you're walking around,
you're fully owning it anyway.
- Aw, Keith.
Let me take the sunglasses off.
Okay, with more brighter light it looks okay.
(Keith laughing)
(group clapping)
- Historically Ned has become a lesbian
more than once in our transformation videos.
- [Eugene] You look like a really hot artistic lesbian mom.
- Snaps to that.
- What kind of lesbian is Ned going to be today?
- Right?
He pulls it off.
- Word.
- Dude, I can't with you.
You're too cool.
- I want to do something a little bit more out there.
Something that plays around with gender a bit.
Relatively dark color scheme.
Sort of a grungier style.
It's very different
but honestly I think he could pull it off.
- Honestly, it's me for me.
(group laughing)
- [Keith] Wow, yes.
So many piercings, Ned.
- Ned, is that a leather handbag or?
- How dare.
Did you hear what Zach just said?
- You would never.
Oh wait, is it?
(group laughing)
- Does it feel comfortable?
- [Kwesi] Yeah, like walk around every day.
I'm going to go grab some milk.
- [Ned] You like milk?
- Sometimes.
- You know what I like?
- What's up?
- Oat milk.
- Copy that.
- I only drink oat milk.
(Kwesi laughing)
- Okay.
- [Keith] Let's let Ned see himself.
I feel like you don't even know really
what you really look like.
- No, I've just been in character this whole time.
Oh my God.
(Ned laughing)
- [Zach] I really like the long cape-y look.
Like the silhouette is really fun.
I've never seen you in something like this.
Wow.
- One of the roasts that they gave me
was they would like to see something like
with a bit more structure.
- The thing they keep coming with like,
where we dress boring.
How dare they.
- I mean, look at Keith and then look at you and me.
- [Keith] Yeah.
- True.
- It's very rock starry.
But you know, we live in LA.
- [Zach] I promise you,
you could go to anywhere you normally go
and no one would bat an eyelash at you dressed like this.
- [Ned] Yeah, that's true.
- [Zach] I really like the shirt on you.
- Thank you.
(group clapping)
- I'm feeling like the guy
at the front row at the fashion show.
- I feel like I should leave.
I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable within my own skin.
- I accept you for who you are, but yeah, you should leave.
- Nothing's off limits for me.
If I still like wearing whatever,
I will wear that.
I want to just take this up a couple notches up.
- [Keith] A few days later,
they rolled away the stone.
There I was.
- [Ned] What.
- [Keith] Move over, Easter eggs.
It's time for Faberge.
- [Zach] That's the one.
- [Ned] This is not that far off for you.
- [Kwesi] That's fresh.
- [Keith] But I love this look.
- I really like the Crocs and the socks.
- [Zach] Crocs and socks.
- [Keith] I didn't know you could wear socks and Crocs.
Turns out it works.
- [Kwesi] Love the glasses.
- I wish they were prescription.
(group laughing)
I can't see anything.
- Once again,
I never would've thought that you could do
those two patterns on top of each other,
but I'm full on board.
- Are these short pants?
I'm too tall for short pants.
Does feel a little bit like I'm in a musical, right?
- [Ned] Oh yeah, I get musical vibes now.
- [Zach] You look like Johnny Knoxville as a grandpa.
- It is like grandpa core.
It's Easter core.
- You look like a kid from the eighties
who's going over Thanksgiving dinner in Brooklyn.
- Yeah.
And everything about it is soft.
Every single piece of fabric.
- Oh.
- So soft.
- [Keith] Everything's soft.
- Oh, it's so soft.
- For me,
it doesn't feel like soft clothes
are for going out in the world.
But this for going out in the world.
- [Zach] You know what, Keith?
You are one soft boy.
- I must be a soft boy.
I'm going to do a double glasses just to see.
Yeah, I'm just an odd character in a movie.
This is the DJ at the pool party that just goes,
what's up, Shawn.
Gotta get back to spinnin'.
- Everything about this outfit, I'll wear.
- You'd wear this?
- Everything about this outfit.
- [Keith] Really?
- Everything.
- All black Kwesi would wear this.
- That's super fresh.
- It really looks like I'm about to do a terrible rap.
(group laughing)
(group clapping)
- I wonder where Gen Z's meetup now.
Not the mall.
- I feel like everyone goes to the mall, right?
- Jake, are you a Gen Z-er?
- [Jake] Technically, I think I'm a Gen Z-er.
- Do Gen Z-ers hang out at malls?
- [Jake] They do.
And movie theaters.
- [Kwesi] Yeah.
- [Dhana] You have this delicate energy about you
that I really think can suit the soft boy look.
So let's get into it.
- Hello Gen Z.
Once you Ji-min, you don't Jim out.
- [Ned] Oh wow.
- [Keith] The gloves!
- [Kwesi] It looks like a pocket square on his neck.
- [Zach] That is exactly what it is.
- You look like an old married couple ran at each other.
(group laughing)
Then turned into one person.
- Dhana's whole idea,
she wanted to allow both my masculine
and my feminine to rise out.
I don't know what I look like but feel like she nailed it.
The pants are comfy.
The blouse is super comfy.
The blouse is not something I would ever wear.
- [Ned] Oh, it's a blouse.
- [Kwesi] You're giving us like a little bit of Prince.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
(Zach laughing)
- This is not a real person.
I don't know if this full Ji-min.
Army maybe protesting this one.
You know, weirdly it doesn't work without the sunglasses.
If I take these off,
I'm like what the (beep) is going like, right?
- [Keith] I agree.
- This style is just such a clash of different things.
It's a Jackson Pollock of fashion.
Come through, Jackson Pollock.
I know things.
- I don't think I would ever wear this vest
or realistically this hat.
But I learned a lot through looking
through all the looks today.
This is the first time that I've really felt
like I've had full fun with an outfit in about two years.
- I think you actually would wear that hat.
- I actually definitely think you'd wear that vest.
I don't want you to 'cause you'd be insufferable.
- [Zach] Can't stop me now.
- [Keith] Wow.
- [Ned] Wow.
(group clapping)
- This was so much fun.
Thank you to all of our Gen Z-ers
for helping inspire our looks
and giving us something fun to do today.
- [Ned] It inspires me
to take some more risks in my own fashion.
- [Keith] And thanks to Crocs for sponsoring this video.
Zach took my Crocs so I'm gonna have to take 'em back.
- Subscribe to these guys' videos, man.
They're nice guys, right?
Peace.
(Try Guys theme music)
- I feel like a witch came
and turned a turtle into a person,
and now they're like trying to find their way through life.
Excuse me, sir.
Are you a turtle?
No.
