Wisdom From the Wardrobe

This week on Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team kicks things off with Bec's "In the News" segment, where one classic shoe staple officially takes a backseat. According to current fashion chatter, black pumps are now considered nearly unnoticeable, and the color quietly stepping into the spotlight this winter is white. From crisp bright white to soft ivory and ecru, the trend isn't about matching tonally, but about pairing lighter footwear with darker, more grounded ensembles for contrast that feels fresh and modern. From there, the conversation turns to real life dressing during one of the busiest weeks of the year. What are we actually wearing right now when days stretch from morning errands to cooking, hosting, traveling, and socializing. How to balance comfort with looking intentional, and why it's more than okay to opt out of over-styled expectations altogether. They also share their current wardrobe rotations, the hero pieces pulling extra weight this week, the shoes they're living in, and the go-to formulas that make getting dressed easier when time and energy are in short supply. It's a refreshingly honest look at style that works with your life, not against it. It's a practical, honest conversation about seasonal style that works hard, feels good, and still looks pulled together, no costume changes required.

This week on Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team turns its attention from getting dressed to setting the scene. Bec kicks off the episode with an "In the News" segment that feels perfectly timed, spotlighting one of the biggest holiday decorating trends of the season: the return of the "Ralph Lauren Christmas." Think cozy, traditional luxury with rich textures like velvet and wool, classic tartans, deep heritage colors, warm metals, and natural elements that feel collected rather than overdone. Best of all, it's a look that can be recreated without a luxury budget. Inspired by this trend, the conversation moves into low-effort, high-impact ways to style your home for the holidays. From greenery placed with intention to simplifying surfaces, layering in texture with throws and pillows, choosing one signature seasonal scent, and letting lighting and candles do the heavy lifting, the team shares approachable ideas that make a home feel warm and welcoming without turning it into a winter wonderland. They also dive into easy upgrades for hosting, including table linens that elevate space instantly, modern neutral holiday palettes that stand the test of time, and a rapid-fire round of five-minute refreshes to pull everything together just before guests arrive. It's a practical, stylish guide to holiday home styling that proves you don't need more décor,  just better decisions.

This week on Wisdom From The Wardrobe, Bec delivers the "In the News" with a story that proves fashion doesn't always take itself too seriously. Enter the unexpected collaboration between BEIS and Chipotle: an eleven-piece luggage and accessories collection designed, apparently, to transport Chipotle to any destination effortlessly and chicly. From a napkin sling to a burrito-inspired crossbody and a full duffle bag, the team breaks down the buzz, the branding, and the growing appetite for playful fashion collaborations. From there, the conversation shifts to one of the most requested topics of the season: dressing for holiday gatherings. The stylists unpack what to wear for everything from ugly sweater invites and neighborhood get-togethers to office parties and more polished celebrations. Comfort is key, especially when non-breathable fabrics and long evenings are involved, but style doesn't have to be sacrificed. The team shares what they're seeing in stores right now, including plenty of sequins, cashmere, and velvet in every form. It's a practical, timely guide to navigating holiday dressing with confidence, comfort, and just the right amount of festive flair.

This episode of  Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team opens with Bec's "In the News" segment, spotlighting Burberry's latest marketing campaign and its refreshingly relatable message: luxury lives in every moment. Featuring iconic British stars like Olivia Colman stepping into very ordinary roles, including working behind the counter at a classic fish and chips shop, the campaign reminds us that beautiful things are meant to be worn, used, and enjoyed, not saved for someday. Inspired by that philosophy, the conversation turns to stylish and thoughtful holiday gift ideas that strike the perfect balance between indulgence and practicality. From cozy indoor footwear and elegant gloves to sumptuous cashmere and chic travel accessories from Longchamp, the team shares pieces that feel special without feeling precious. These are gifts designed to elevate everyday life and actually get used. As always, the episode blends style insight with real-world wearability, offering a timely reminder that great style isn't about waiting for the right moment, it's about making the moment right. 

This week on Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team opens with an In the News, and this one definitely raised a few eyebrows. Skims had unveiled faux hair micro-string thongs; yes, essentially their take on the classic merkin, and the collection sold out almost instantly. The crew embarks on their usual sense of humor with this unexpected launch that created quite a stir. From there, the focus shifts to foundation wear, the unsung hero of every great outfit. The team dives into the essentials of bras, shapewear, and all the behind-the-scenes pieces that determine whether you feel comfortable and confident throughout the day. They walk through the questions everyone should be asking about fit, shape, and support, and share firsthand experiences with brands they've tried, loved, and learned from. It's a practical, candid, and surprisingly entertaining look at the part of style no one sees but everyone feels. Here for all your style needs, inside and out.

On this episode of Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team kicks off the conversation with Pamela's "In the News" update, highlighting Manolo Blahnik's Marie Antoinette Capsule Collection. Think opulence, history, and a touch of whimsical extravagance, exactly the kind of fashion moment that sets the tone for a lively discussion. From there, the crew turns to the style myths that continue to swirl their way through closets everywhere. From the belief that black is always slimming to the notion that neutrals magically go with everything, the team unpacks the rules, the rumors, and the long-standing fashion fiction that still influences how people get dressed. As always, the style team brings clarity and humor to the table, proving that modern style isn't about following outdated advice, but about understanding proportion, personality, and the choices that make you feel confident. A fresh take on familiar myths, a little couture history, and plenty of fashion wisdom make this, another fun and insightful episode. Stay stylish

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we kick things off with a classic, but not in the way you'd expect. Bec brings us the latest trend watch: "Americana Reboot." Think Rebel Without a Cause, but swap James Dean for James Clean. We're talking aged Levi's, cowboy boots, and fresh-faced mustaches. It's rugged vintage meets sterile chic; and not just on celebs, but in everyday style scenes you might not expect. Turns out, you can bring the wild west to the workplace, hold the dust. Then we're back at it with Part 2 of your most pressing wardrobe woes, because last week's listener questions left us wanting more. First up: how do you make a shirt and tie combo look cool without resorting to a neck tattoo? We've got the layers, textures, and attitude to pull it off. Next, flannel shirts. Is it possible to wear them without looking like you time traveled straight from 1992 Seattle? Spoiler: yes, and we'll tell you how. We also ironed out coat conundrums, how to bring skinny jeans back with confidence, and of course, more of your style SOS messages; answered with our signature mix of insight and irreverence. Keep it stylish!

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we laced up (literally) with a brand-new trend; the "Sneakerina." It's the unexpected mashup of a sneaker and a ballet flat, proving you can plié and power-walk your way through fashion. We're still debating whether you should wear them to dance class or brunch, but one thing's for sure: they're trying to make the balletcore trend  street-chic. Then came the collective gasp, MTV has retired several of its music channels after 40 years. Goodbye MTV Music, MTV 80s, and so many style-driven moments from our youth. Naturally, that sparked a whole trip down memory lane for the team, complete with music video fashion flashbacks. With nostalgia behind us, we jumped into something just as iconic: your style questions. One listener wondered how to hang onto beloved wardrobe pieces after losing weight; don't worry, we've got tailored solutions for that. Another was stuck in denim limbo, saying big pants feel too young but skinny jeans feel too dated, yes, we've found a stylish in-between. As always, no question's too big, no wardrobe headache too small. This episode is packed with practical, fun, and confidence boosting style advice; just what your closet ordered. Happy Styling!

From Goodwill to runway glam, this week's episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe kicks off with a viral fashion fairytale. Designer Evan Hursh turned a thrift-store dress into custom couture and set off a chain reaction of upcycled elegance, proving that sustainable fashion and style creativity are a match made in Goodwill heaven. After plenty of "oh wow" moments and DIY daydreams, the team trades dresses for designer soles as we take a deep dive into this season's Fall/Winter 2025 shoe trends for both men and women. On the menswear front: loafers are still having their (80-year!) moment, split-toe shoes are splitting opinions, and sleek Chelsea and cowboy boots are riding in hot. Bonus: the dad sneaker is officially stepping back in favor of its "slimmer, chicer cousin." Ladies, lace up! Derby shoes and brogues are making a statement, red and brown suede is bringing the heat, and slouchy boots are back with a vengeance. And as for sky-high stilettos and studs? Let's just say the team voted studs all the way, no contest. Tune in for witty banter, game-changing inspiration, and the kind of style advice that'll have your wardrobe thanking you later. Happy Styling!

Are These Shoes Genius or Hideous? That's the question kicking off this week's episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe! The team laces up for a lively debate over the New Balance 1906L "Snoafer", part sneaker, part loafer, all conversation starters. Some shoes you wear, others you dissect endlessly… and you can bet the crew had opinions. Of course, Bec takes things a step further (pun intended) with a question no one saw coming; how often should you wash your feet? Let's just say this one goes straight into the "footnotes we usually ignore." Then, it's time to strut into the Men's Fall/Winter 2025 fashion trends. From the return of sharp tailoring to leather shorts, fuzzy statement coats, "Big Pimpin'" energy, and the comeback of the cardigan, the team breaks down how men's style is mixing bold statements with refined swagger. Whether you're a style enthusiast, trend devotee, style traditionalist, or just someone curious about the snoafer heard 'round the world, this episode walks the line between fashion forward and fabulously funny. Keep it stylish!

Lights, cameras, color action! This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we kick things off Hollywood-style with a red carpet rundown of the 2025 Emmy Awards, who wore what, which looks wowed, and the standout style moments that had our stylist team talking. From fashion hits to near misses, our "In the News" segment proves that awards season always delivers plenty of wardrobe wisdom. Then, we trade sequins for swatches and dive headfirst into the Pantone Color Institute's Fall/Winter 2025/2026 palette. Think zesty Lemon Grass, cozy Hot Chocolate, sultry Damson, fiery Poppy Red, and dreamy Lyons Blue plus the seasonless classics like French Roast and Mauve Wine. According to Pantone, these shades strike the perfect balance between casual ease and subtle elegance. But did our team agree? Was the palette muted… or more? Tune in as we unpack the palette's "poetic nuance," debate which colors bring drama vs. snooze factor, and share stylist approved tips on what unexpected hues to pair them with.

This week on Wisdom From The Wardrobe we start with a little fashion news: for the first time in 30 years, American Vogue has a new head of editorial content. Chloe Malle, previously at the helm of Vogue.com and co-host of The Run-Through podcast, steps into the role, handpicked by Anna Wintour herself who's not going anywhere by the way. As summer fades and fall takes center stage, the style team rewinds the tape on their warm weather wardrobe wins. From Stacy saving her "money makers" (yes, her ankles) with cloud like shoes and swim dresses, to Bec going big with oversized hats and chunky-sole sandals, Lady P trading sandals for her scene stealing red sneakers, and Bruce staying cozy in his lightweight knits (because someone's always cold) it's a playful style summer recap. Expect laughs, playful banter, and a few sandal scandals as the crew shares their summer style favorites, standout staples, and style finds that may deserve to transition into fall. Whether you're reminiscing about your own summer looks or seeking inspo for the season ahead, this episode delivers wardrobe wisdom with a wink. Happy Styling.

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the team nails it; literally, by starting with a quick dip into the latest manicure trends. From shiny Jelly Nails to biodegradable stick-on nails made from allnatural ingredients (yes, straight from the labs at the Atlas Institute, University of Colorado), beauty innovation is at your fingertips quite literally! Then it's time to raid the closet and cue the costumes. This episode is all about dressing for drama not just for the day. The team explores the playful, theatrical side of style: how costume influences fashion, why your wardrobe might be full of hidden characters, and how fashion gives us the freedom to step into different roles. Whether it's a power blazer that screams CEO energy or a prairie dress that leans full-on Little House chic, your closet is more of a stage than you think. Stacy raises the psychology questions of the costume piece, because sometimes, the way we dress is less about the fabric and more about the fantasy. So, who will you be today? The boss, the romantic, the rebel, or the leading lady? Tune in for wit, wisdom, and a little wardrobe drama. After all, fashion isn't just about what you wear, it's about the story you're telling.

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the team is letting us know we are in Preppy Purgatory as the revival of preppy style is apparently upon us, only this time it's less "country club crisp" and more "muted collegiate chic." With a 66% surge in popularity, it looks like polos, pleats, and penny loafers are making a polished comeback, but without shouting "quiet luxury" or blasting "loud luxury." Stacy's already pledging allegiance to this sartorial sorority. But that's just the warm-up… The main style syllabus dives into Body Archetypes, the style framework that's suddenly trending again. Think Kibbe's 13 archetypes, personality-infused silhouettes, and style essence breakdowns that aim to decode dressing. But is it a guiding light or just another confusing fashion rabbit hole? The team debates whether this system actually empowers personal style or just makes getting dressed feel like passing a pop quiz. Press play for witty banter, trend talk, and some seriously stylish food for thought.

From Birkin to Boatkin, this episode Wisdom from the Wardrobe podcast serves up style headlines and shopping dilemmas. The team kicks things off with Hermès news: the original Birkin bag just sold in 10 minutes for $10 million dollars (yes, you read that right). But while fashion royalty makes headlines, LL Bean's upcycled "Boatkin" tote is sparking debate, is it homage, irony, or straight-up infringement? Then, we dive headfirst into fall fashion previews and early shopping sales like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Are these so-called "fall previews" helpful wardrobe planning tools, or do they just trip us up while we're still sipping iced lattes in linen? The team debates whether stocking up mid-summer is smart strategy or style sabotage. Tune in for witty banter, fashion hot takes, and a reminder that sometimes the heat of summer makes it hard to think about coats, no matter how chic they are. Happy Styling!

In this episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the team kicks things off with a stylish stroll through the latest fashion headlines. First up: Anna Wintour announced her stepping down as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue on a random Thursday, that news had the fashion world buzzing. Then there's was that not-so-subtle spectacle that was the Bezos wedding in Venice. While the event itself was dripping in star power and staggering expense, it was the bride's dress that really stole the spotlight—and not necessarily in a good way. Aiming for Sophia Loren glam but landing somewhere between Dynasty cosplay and 1980s prom queen, it left the internet divided and our fashion senses tingling. But once the veil lifts, it's time to bare legs and bold opinions in our main topic: shorts in the workplace. Are they a sign of modern dress code evolution or a professional misstep? Can you channel Tom Browne tailoring without looking like you wandered in from a school drop-off? From inseams to office norms, the team debates the do's and beware of workplace shorts, how to style them with intention, and how to decode your company culture before letting your knees do the talking. As always, expect laughs, side-eye-worthy examples, and practical tips on how to stay stylish (and employed) when the temperatures rise. Spoiler: It's not just about shorts; it's about the strategy. Whether you are team trouser or pro-pedal pusher, this episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to beat the heat without breaking the unspoken office style rules. Happy Listening!

This episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the team laces up a lively conversation that's equal parts style, semantics, and sole searching. Inspired by a real-life footwear fiasco, where a journalist was denied entry to a private members club for breakfast for wearing "sneakers" she swears they weren't sneakers and her outfit was elevated. We're diving feet-first into the fashionable gray area of what actually counts as a sneaker in today's style landscape. Are those minimalist leather kicks gym shoes in disguise? Can designer trainers moonlight as dress shoes? And why do some establishments still act like sneakers are the style equivalent of showing up in flip-flops? From the gym floor to the runway, the hosts untangle the evolution of sneakers, from their rubber-soled roots to their high-fashion reinventions. Expect plenty of laughs, spirited debate, and hot takes on everything from restaurant dress codes to why some sneakers might just be more polished than your average pair of Oxfords. As always, we're serving up practical styling tips, sneaky (pun intended) fashion faux pas to avoid, and fresh ideas on how to elevate your sneaker game, without getting turned away at the door. Oh, and before we step into all that…Bec drops an eyebrow-raising, poop-tastic "in the news" segment that's about decluttering using the "poop theory", and let's just say, things get messy in the best possible way. Whether you're a sneakerhead or a style skeptic, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever wondered if their footwear is too casual, or just misunderstood
