E138: Ren Faire 2025, Who Was More Formal, and Thoughts on Banger Outfits

In this episode We chat about Ethan’s Ren Faire Outfit (and his glorious riding boots), discussing whether jeans+leather shoes or sneakers+trousers is more casual, and a big discussion on Bangers. Should every outfit be a Banger? Does it help to have Banger items (and what makes it a Banger piece)? Does a fit need to hit with the zeitgeist or be easily digestible to be a Banger? How much of this should be about what we *personally* think of as Bangers? Can they just “hit different” to us? Let us know your thoughts!
