As we get deeper into the "no context" world, it's only fair that we discuss irony and subversion! We talk about the difference between the two, how irony can be a weak defense for a 'bad" fit, and how when time goes on, things will become less subversive— and that's okay! Fashion should be about what we enjoy wearing!

Silvia (@bitchplisse) is the latest guest in the SaD Canon. She's has a unique taste in style in that she dresses for proportions instead of formality or a specific style genre. Most of her fits echo a lot of what we like in classic menswear! We chat about how she formed her style, how we can appreciate designers, and the inverse relationship between her creative style and her super science-y job.

In this new episode, the SaD boys try to define effort, discuss why menswear guys are obsessed with appearing effortless, and why everyone seems to be effort averse . Does looking at inspo count as putting effort? How about being mindful of color combinations or formality connotations? What does being "effortless" even mean??

In this new episode, the SaD boys introspect on "cool" and what makes things "cool" to us! We look into why we are drawn to certain garments and details, as well as how much other people's opinions affect what we like, as well as how much the mainstream plays into our enjoyment of things. In the end, it's about what we like. And we think what we like is cool!

This next episode is about eyewear and how they play into outfits. Sunglasses always have an instant cool factor, bringing in attitude when you put them on to get shade from the sun, Eyeglasses on the other hand are worn before your clothes, so they give additional context to the wearer's "base" while providing personality, much like a hairstyle or facial hair!
