We're discussing photography in classic menswear in this pod! As a whole, we find it a bit more artistic and studied when compared to the typical influencer type shots. It's even inspired Ethan to develop his craft and his own approach to photography. It's a great listen! Don't forget to review and subscribe!

We're responding to "Dressing Up in a Dressed-Down World", a symposium organized by Simon Crompton, the creator of Permanent Style. His panel of fashion authorities discuss the eponymous topic: how they, as "formal" people react to an increasingly casual world. Spoilers: we don't agree with many of their statements!

Rain is an interesting subject for menswear. It allows us to layer up and look as cool as our style icons but it can be a hassle if you're a student walking to class or if you're just constantly on the move. In this episode, Spencer and Ethan talk about what they wear when it rains as well as some of their grail items and inspirations for those precipitation-heavy days.

The spearpoint collar, a rakish detail that immediately harkens to vintage style. It's one of our favorite collars, so we decided to dedicate an episode to it's history, how we wear it, and where to get them! Blog post: Follow us on IG: @styleanddirection | @ethanmwong | @spencerdso
Inspiration LA is perhaps SoCal's answer to Pitti Uomo. We discuss this awesome tradeshow, which is all about vintage and contemporary workwear, denim, and leather. We even cover how our casual style has evolved thanks to Inspiration LA and all the cool people that we've met there.

We're talking about Tuxedos, Black Tie, and evening wear on this new episode! Spencer and Ethan discuss the rules behind evening wear, whether or not its relevant today, and even get into the unique pieces in their collection! It's all in anticipation of the special Dapper Day event with the LA Phil, where black tie will finally be appropriate for Los Angeles.

Instead of a guest this time, Spencer and I will be discussing various menswear topics! It’s a new format we’re trying out going forward. This episodes focuses on a “basic wardrobe” and how it relates to vintage and classic menswear. We talk about how different people approach it (Die Workwear, Permanent Style, J. Press) and what it means to us. If you have ideas for new topics, DM us at @styleanddirection! @styleanddirection | @ethanmwong | @spencerdso https://streetxsprezza.wordpress.com/the-podcast/
Austin Roberson @gentlemansavenue joins us on the pod today to talk about his menswear journey, working at The Man's Shop in Texas, and the world of the Menswear Youtubers. He's actually gone to Menfluential a few times and has met a lot of the preeminent figures in this scene like Antonio Centeno and Aaron Marino, as well as the other budding content creators! Austin's insight is particularly useful since Spencer and I don't really delve much into this community and aren't too familiar with it other than the occasional Youtube video. Enjoy the discussion! @styleanddirection | @ethanmwong | @spencerdso https://streetxsprezza.wordpress.com/the-podcast/
We're so sorry we've been gone for a while, but we're back and introducing a new type of content: film style reviews. Today we look at Baz Luhrmann's 2013 film The Great Gatsby, a film that really influenced us to get into vintage menswear. Upon a rewatch, it's really not a good film nor does it have good style. I mean why do they wear TWEED in SUMMER? Follow us: @styleanddirection | @ethanmwong | @spencerdso Read the blog: www.streetxsprezza.wordpress.com
Note: Sorry about our shitty audio! We all recorded on one mic. After yet another hiatus, we talk with Rajesh, Ethan's college friend and first menswear friend. While we were still figuring out our style in old blog posts, Raj was always killin' it. He has such a consistent and classic style that has largely remained unchanged since we first met him in 2014. In this episode, we talk about his approach to style, how he deals with slight colorblindness, and we even reminisce about some old college memories.
