In the newest episode, Spencer and Ethan tackle the topic of Outfit Repeating. Is repetition comforting or boring? Is creating a new combination new exciting or exhausting? What exactly counts as a repeat? We discuss it all while exploring our own outfit creation process, detailing when its fun to try new things vs. stick with what we know.

This episode is about “Cinematic Dressing”, a term we coined for how we create outfits centered around a narrative theme or framework. You might even say dress for our own "world" or the "scenes" that we're called for. Fashion is supposed to be a fun celebration of what we like! In a world where context is thrown out the window, why can’t we dress ivy one day and then workwear the next if it's what we enjoy?

Spencer and Ethan try to tackle the idea of "taste" in classic menswear. To us, taste is an extension of POV or just personal preferences. We tend to think of clothing as a creative endeavor which, along with the demise of dress codes, means that the only real guide is your subjective taste. It's good to hone in and know what you like, but at the end of the day, its still about what you like!

The first bonus of 2021 is here and Spencer, MJ, and Ethan discuss The King's Man! It's a wild romp that features historical figures and a modern interpretation of 1910s tailoring; the clothes aren't actually that bad! And the film, save for some tonality issues, was actually outrageously fun. Especially the ending.

We're starting 2022 off with an episode on proportions and silhouette- two big topics that factor heavily with the nuance and details in tailoring! We certainly have our preferences but at the end of the day, it's all about finding the right proportions not just for your body, but for your intended aesthetic.
