Steve Bannon Wore Two Button Down Shirts At The Same Time, And Twitter Is Confused
By Koh MochizukiNov. 18 2019, Updated 2:21 p.m. ET
Steve Bannon has been compared to a lot of things: an alcoholic sweaty gym sock, an overripe banana left in the fridge for too long, and a ziploc bag filled with liposuction fat that's been given sentience. He's also been criticized for his ties with Russia and his horrible hip-hop musical screenplay.
The way Steve Bannon wears a shirt, or shirts, for public appearances is raising eyebrows. I mean who in the world wears a button-down shirt beneath a button down shirt. You're supposed to just wear one button down and put a t-shirt underneath it. Most likely a deep v-neck or even a tank top, but another button down? And then to wear two button downs and a blazer over it? What's the deal? Who does that?
Is the former White House chief strategist trying to start a fashion trend? Or does he need comfort from a particularly chilly reception?
Double chins wearing two button down shirts & a blazer can't be trusted. #SteveBannon #innersafterdark #reiders #inners

It's evident that Bannon likes to unconventionally layer up. His zany sartorial choice is a frequent occurrence.

Here he is during an election night event back in November 2016, donned in his finest T-shirt under polo shirt, under a button-down oxford, under a sports coat look.
You know, like you do.

Twitter can't figure him out. But they gave it a shot anyway.
Gotta hide those nips somehow.

It was to hold his liver in.

Why? Is this so he can shed layers as his dandruff progresses throughout the day?

I suspect he's just too lazy to take dirty clothes off each day and just keeps layering clean ones over top. There is no better explanation.

Oh god. What's strong enough to penetrate one but weak enough to be staved by the other?

Turns out, this is an actual look! He's aspiring to emulate this fashion forward trend, one collar at a time.

But even though we question Bannon's fashion choice, here's hoping he doesn't go to the other extreme...

I still can't wrap my head around the multiple collars, who layers collars on top of collars on top of collars. There has to be a psychological profile for something like that. I'm no fashionista, but still!
