Spring outfits are never as fun as their fall/winter counterparts, but they're also the last hurrah for light layering, chunky boots, and knitwear. Peter and Derek discuss some of their favorite clothes during this transitional season before summer. They also talk about some of their favorite rain gear, including outerwear and single-stick umbrellas from Italy.

My guest this week is Quaid Walker, co-founder of Bezel.

Quaid and I jump right in on the excitement and occasional anxiety of the watch world.

We discuss watch churn, how Bezel has evolved over the years, imposter syndrome, getting nuts on auctions, engravings, and those classic “can I pull this off” moments.

Do you ever feel like fashion writers clap for whatever is sent down the runway? Derek and Peter chatted with Eugene Rabkin, founder of StyleZeitgeist, a fashion writer who is unafraid of criticism. They talk about what has been behind the slowdown in the luxury fashion market, why fashion criticism is hard to come by nowadays, and the "deskilling" of the consumer.

My guest this week is Simon Crompton of Permanent Style.

Simon and I dug into some stuff we’ve discussed a ton over the years - do "the rules" of getting dressed matter? And if you’re so obsessed with “the rules” of dressing, do you miss out on the joy of getting dressed? 

We discuss how technology and chatbots have woven into brands and e-commerce, and what’s still worth obsessing over.
