In this latest episode, Ethan takes Spencer and MJ through the book "Reflections on Musical Expression" by Peter Kivy which posits that expression is a valid method in evaluating and critiquing music through concepts of Contour and Convention. We extrapolate on that to say that making outfit is all about using the plethora of expressive details and either upholding or subverting them to create an outfit we like. To an intentional dresser, a good outfit isn't about being formal or about "proper" fit, but how accurate the outfit as whole is to the vision we have for ourselves!
