Plastic clothing is edgy but can be noisy. See how Refinery29 does wearing it for 3 days straight.
Transcript
00:00Do a little squeak test.
00:01You're great!
00:03For this Try This Challenge,
00:05we're going to be doing three days of plastic clothing.
00:08It's a lot edgier than my personal style,
00:11so I think it's cool to try to see different ways to make it more me.
00:15I think anyone can wear it.
00:17I have a plastic skirt.
00:18If you wear it on also a plastic thing,
00:21it kind of sticks to the seat.
00:23And then when you get up, it goes like...
00:26It kind of makes a noise.
00:27Yeah, it does make a weird noise.
00:28I got up.
00:29This is so squeaky, but it's so cute!
00:33So this will be the first time either of us have ever worn plastic clothing for three days straight.
00:38Are you ready?
00:39I'm like a little bit nervous, but I think I'm ready for it.
00:42All right, let's do this.
00:43So follow along as we wear plastic clothing for the next three days.
00:48Woohoo!
00:50Hey guys, Mian here,
00:52and I'm going to start day one of my three-day plastic challenge.
00:57Hi guys, good morning.
00:58I'm getting ready, and I need to wear this plastic skirt.
01:03Ahhh!
01:04I'm starting pretty simple today with just a vinyl jacket from this brand called Unif.
01:11I got it at Urban Outfitters.
01:13First impressions, it's squeaking already.
01:15I don't know if that's going to get annoying, but we'll see.
01:19I think I'm just going to keep it simple this time around just because this is a new fabric for
01:24me.
01:24I'm not really comfortable with it.
01:25So I'm probably just going to pair it with a white t-shirt.
01:28I've been wearing my vinyl jacket, and I've got to say it is very, very squeaky.
01:32I don't know if you can hear it, but...
01:34I'm here with Colin.
01:35What do you think of this jacket?
01:37Annoying.
01:38Why is it annoying?
01:39It's annoying sounding.
01:41Hey guys!
01:42I'm here with my friend Zoe.
01:43We're walking home from dinner, and I'm actually kind of glad I'm wearing this plastic jacket
01:47because it's kind of cold now and it keeps all the juices in.
01:50What do you think of this plastic jacket?
01:52You know, I feel like really cool walking down the street with you.
01:55People know we're coming by the sound of the jacket.
01:58I like it too, actually.
02:00I like the vibe.
02:00I like that it's like kind of shiny.
02:02So day one is done.
02:05This was really easy to wear.
02:07The plastic really didn't affect anything at all except for when I was riding the subway.
02:12It was like a little squeaky getting up, but it's New York City, so no one really cares.
02:16Weird things like that happen all the time.
02:18Other than that, like I loved it.
02:20It was like a cool, edgy mix of vibe.
02:25It's day two!
02:28I'm going to be wearing this pink see-through jacket.
02:33It's so loud and squeaky.
02:37Hey guys, day two.
02:38I have this final plastic-y trench coat situation.
02:44Not bad.
02:45It's kind of big and oversized, but I'm wearing it with like just a white t-shirt.
02:48I really like this.
02:49It's not squeaking like at all.
02:51I have a feeling this is going to be a little bit warm for the weather, but it's plastic,
02:56so it'll be good for the rain.
02:57So, you know, you win some, you lose some.
02:59Hi guys!
03:00Hi!
03:01It's been like really hot.
03:03Getting some-
03:04Picking up some rain.
03:05Yeah, so water is just beating off of us.
03:08Yeah.
03:09It's like really cold in the office, so I'm glad that I have this like plastic to keep
03:13me warm.
03:14Also, I spilled water on myself earlier today and just rolled off the book.
03:18It's like the coolest, chicest raincoat I've ever had.
03:22And I've gotten a lot of compliments.
03:23I finally made it home.
03:25So excited to take this jacket off.
03:27Pretty rough day.
03:28It was a very loud day for me.
03:30As you can tell, there's a lot of sound.
03:33People were just kind of giving me some weird stares.
03:37This served as a really great rain jacket, but also really kept in the sweat as we learned
03:45with plastic.
03:47Day three!
03:48And I am walking to work.
03:49I'm wearing the most plastic thing that I have.
03:54This legitimately Barbie plasticky jacket from Brashy Studios.
04:00I saved the best for last.
04:02It's a pair of vinyl plastic pants.
04:07These are really wild.
04:09This jacket has no movement.
04:13Like, you can move and I can hear it crunching like as I move.
04:18It's a little hard to put on because it's so stiff.
04:20I think I might try to do this pink spaghetti strap.
04:24It's silky.
04:25I think it'll be a cool texture to add it to.
04:31It's the end of the day.
04:33I'm finally home.
04:35It was another super humid, super muggy day in New York City.
04:40These pants, which I cannot wait to take off.
04:45I feel like a stuffed salami in them right now.
04:48Last check-in from this three-day plastic challenge.
04:53Still wearing this.
04:54Took it off part way through the day because it got really hot and crinkly
04:58and people were making comments about how loud the jacket was.
05:01But people also really liked the jacket.
05:04They were like, I love your jacket.
05:05Where's it from?
05:06People like are into the jacket the way it looks.
05:10But the way it sounds, it's not great.
05:13Choosing to do this plastic challenge when it's so hot out, I think it wasn't the best idea.
05:18Other than that, I enjoyed being able to challenge myself to be creative with my clothing.
05:23I'd do it again.
05:24It's the end of the plastic challenge and I really loved it.
05:29I don't know, I feel like I'll probably be incorporating a lot into my wardrobe.
05:33So, see you later.
05:34Bye guys!
05:35Bye!
05:37Bye!
05:37Bye!
05:37Bye!
05:37Bye!
