Matt Damon on his Now-Viral '90s Fits

Matt Damon wasn't trying to build a reference wardrobe for young men. "I just always dressed for comfort," he tells Samuel Hine in New York Magazine's most-watched new upload of the week.

The pleasure of "Matt Damon on his Now-Viral '90s Fits" is the gap between fashion inspiration and the person who actually wore the clothes. After a writer described his footwear as "dorky boots," Damon kept wearing them partly out of defiance. An airport photograph of him and Ben Affleck in matching green trousers and white shirts prompts another correction: they hadn't planned it. His memories of Armani tailoring for the Good Will Hunting Oscars are less about glamour than discovering that a suit could feel like pajamas. Viewers pick up that comfort-first thread, with one drawing a parallel to C.S. Lewis's Narnia books.

The interview has reached roughly 17,000 views. Elsewhere among the week's four uploads, The Gilded Age cast weighs whether chocolate tastes worse these days, Denée Benton takes the magazine's New York identity test, and Jerry Saltz examines Arthur Jafa's reworking of Taxi Driver's climactic violence.

NYQ also supplies the channel's strongest daily momentum: John Turturro's installment, posted just before this week's window, is drawing substantially more daily views than any of the new arrivals. Benton's fresh entry is already the busiest of this week's uploads by daily viewing.

The channel added about 3,000 subscribers, with daily views running above their usual pace. Among its nearby fashion-and-shopping peers, Maggie McGaugh had a much larger viewing week, while Amelia Liana and Jessica Braun also saw above-usual daily activity. New York Magazine's own week ranged well beyond clothes, but Damon's stubborn attachment to those boots gave it its most inviting conversation.

One of the Narnia books by CS Lewis talks about how your best clothes should also be your most comfortable clothes. No shame in dressing for comfort.
