Episode two of Dressing; A How To finds friends Jack Antonoff and Mike Birbiglia recumbent in Rachel Antonoff. Mike is fresh from kickboxing class, an activity at which he excels. Jack has been tickling the ole ivories, an activity at which he excels. It’s a Friday and these two are dressed for it: Most notably, they’re respecting public decency laws by wearing the Lizzie Jacket, the Suzanne Walking Short and the ever-versatile Amelia Flight Suit (which pairs well with a Books Are Magic t-shirt or a Prada polo, depending on whether you’re a Mike or a Jack).
As Mike would tell you, the Amelia flight suit is sure to meet your pocket quota. Jack suggests that the flight suit is a vessel best used for schlepping Peanut M&Ms crosstown to the greater Times Square vicinity, while Mike sees an opportunity to store your small knife (assuming you are a chef or a park ranger, that is). If the flight suit had no earthly name, Jack might call it the Theatre-Lover’s, or the Theatre-Saver’s, jumpsuit. He thinks it’s equal parts chic and Slipknot, with a color scheme that rings of Betty Crocker.
In the format of America’s most colloquial talk show, Jack and Mike discuss the finer points of the Bessie sweater (a crowd favorite, no matter your relationship to dairy).
Whether you’re singing about the Scrambler or pretending to film a SNL audition tape, do it in Rachel Antonoff. If you only watch one video this year, make it this one. We can’t and won’t charge you for concessions.
