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.

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

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we're buttoning up the conversation and letting style loose as we cozy up to that wardrobe staple: the cardigan. From its battlefield beginnings (shoutout to the 7th Earl of Cardigan) to its runway reinventions, the humble cardi has gone from knit necessity to closet hero.

The team gets wrapped up in the many faces of the cardigan, cropped, longline, belted, circle, and yes, even those chunky, slouchy ones that toe the line between cozy and couch potato. We unpack which styles flatter which body types, how to avoid falling into frump territory, and a few surprising ways to wear this wardrobe workhorse.

We’re not just spinning yarns here, this episode is full of styling tips, fashion missteps to avoid, and a few “knit-picks” about what not to do when layering up.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your circle cardigan is a style win or a wardrobe whoopsie, this one’s for you.

Expect fashion fun, plenty of puns, and expert advice on how to make your cardigans anything but boring. Happy listening, and remember, cardigans aren’t just for librarians.

It’s all feathers and fashion on this week’s episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe!

What do you get when In the News takes over the whole episode? A disorganized perfection, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, Lady P's plan was promptly disregarded like fast-fashion from last season, while the 2025 Met Gala pulled at our heartstrings. With the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," and the dress code "Tailored for You," we perused the blue carpet, and we are here for every bead, button, and bespoke moment!

We breakdown the best and most unforgettable looks (and unapologetically fabulous looks) and some that had wondering what happened:

Shaboozey made his Met Gala debut in a turquoise wave-patterned suit, matched with turquoise grillz, and a tilted wide brim hat basically saying, "I am the owner of this carpet." Lauryn Hill looking like butter wouldn't melt in her Jude Dontoh suit that included cape, umbrella, and drama worthy collar that gave us chills. Demi Moore, black tie redefined with a beaded ensemble that was an actual necktie. Fashion pun intended and executed completely. And Colman Domingo serving royalty in Valentino and Boucheron layered with sequins, and more texture than a luxury fabric swatch book, to name just a few.

If you enjoy a none too serious Met Gala recap with a side of sass and smarts, and tailored suit talk, this episode is custom made for you. Listen in for your weekly dose of style talk.

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the style squad trades closet space for living space and dives into Spring/Summer 2025 home décor trends with a healthy dose of color confusion and couch commentary.

In the “In the News” segment, Bec bends our brains with the story of Olo—a brand-new, never-before-seen color discovered by scientists at UC Berkeley. Imagine a teal so saturated it doesn't actually exist... unless lasers are involved. (It’s basically Schrödinger’s color, and we are living for it.)

Then, the team swaps fashion for furniture, revealing if their homes match their personal style and what design trends are making waves. From color drenching and eco-friendly design (hello, vegan leather) to vintage vibes with a modern twist and indoor-outdoor flow, the crew dishes on creating a stylish space that feels like home, or a wellness retreat.

So, whether you're re-imagining your living room or just trying to figure out what Olo feels like, this episode is your playful peek into how personal style translates from wardrobe to wall paint and beyond. Happy Styling!
