Sports analogy for fashion rulesfrom @sjparv

Overview

He speaks directly to the camera while demonstrating this philosophy by pointing out unconventional elements of his own outfit, such as wearing a puffer jacket over a suit and tucking his tie into his pants, ultimately arguing that mastering the rules allows you to break them effectively to elevate your personal style.

Fouling is part of the game
Transcript
Foulings part of the game. Matter of fact, name me one all timer who didn't know the rules enough to strategically foul, win, and become all time. I'm not saying foul out. I'm not saying go out of control. I'm wearing a puffer jacket over my suit. Fouling's part of the game. My dress shirt is darker than my suit. Fouling's a part of the game. My tie is tucked into my dress pants. Fouling is a part of the game. The sweet spot is knowing the rules of the game enough to know when and how to break them. And once you learn that balance, your game reaches a new level.
