What People are Wearing in NYC Right Now

Lets Get Dressed 2026-09-21 | Linoy Friedman, AKA What People Are Wearing breaks down the trends she spotted at New York Fashion Week. We get into the pop of red moment taking over street style (and how to actually find your shade), the sweater-tied-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack and not a trend at all, the return of statement necklaces and brooches as finishing touches, and the 3D texture -- fringe, feathers, pom-poms -- showing up on everything this season. We talk about why over-logoing an outfit is the fastest way to lose it, why "wear the trend, don't let the trend wear you" is the only rule either of us follows anymore, and her theory on which trends are actually worth buying into versus styling with what's already in your closet. We also get into her favorite shows of the week, the jeans and tees she and Liv actually reach for on repeat, and what she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner if she wanted to feel elevated without trying too hard.

Get your notes app ready, because this is going to be an episode you want to take note and shop!

In this episode, we get into:

How Linoy built What People Are Wearing into one of the most trusted street style accounts, and what she's actually looking for when she's clocking outfits in real time
The biggest trends she spotted on the ground this Fashion Week, from a full-red moment to color blocking to 3D texture (fringe, feathers, pom-poms) showing up everywhere
The sweater-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack, not a trend, and why she thinks the best trends are the ones already sitting in your closet
The vintage-earring-on-a-vest moment that went viral on her account, and why she thinks brooches and statement necklaces are having a real comeback
Her rule for wearing red without it looking try-hard, and why the right shoe is the easiest way to bring color into a wardrobe
Her take on why over-logoing an outfit "loses the story," and the one styling sin she thinks should be illegal (branded caps)
Her favorite shows of the week, including Magda Butrym's rose-covered runway and Rachel Scott's Proenza Schouler show, and why she can't stop thinking about either
The jeans, tees, and jewelry she and Liv actually rebuy on repeat, from Levi's 501s to vintage YSL to her grandmother's 14 karats
What she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner in New York if she wanted to feel fun, elevated, and not too young

Undressed: Everything I Loved at NYFW

Lets Get Dressed 2026-09-14 | Welcome to the first episode of Undressed, a new short-form series where I’m giving you my unfiltered take on what I’m seeing, loving, thinking about, and taking away from the fashion world in real time.

For my first debrief, we’re talking New York Fashion Week — my 18th one! I’m getting into the shows I loved, the pieces already on my shopping list, why fashion feels especially exciting right now, and what this season made me realize about my own personal style. Plus, I’m sharing how I actually look at a runway show beyond the still images: the references, music, venue, show notes, and all the context that can completely change how you experience a collection.

The NFL’s first-ever Fashion Editor, Kyle Smith, is this week’s guest on Let’s Get Dressed 🎙️

How to Create a Job For Yourself That Has Never Existed with the NFLs First-Ever Fashion Editor

Lets Get Dressed 2026-09-08 | If you've ever been told there's no clear path for the career you want, this episode is proof you can build the path yourself.
Kyle Smith joins us as the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, a role that didn't exist until he created it. We get into how a scrappy Instagram account he ran during COVID, just posting tunnel fits for fun, became his literal proof of concept and landed him back at the league in a job title no one had held before. We talk about taking Joe Burrow to Paris for his first-ever trip outside the country and putting him in a backless Peter Do suit for Vogue World, a moment that generated $22 million in paid media value, why Hermès has quietly become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, and his theory on why athletes, not influencers, are becoming fashion's most trusted tastemakers. We also get into his "what rooms do you want to be in" framework for getting dressed with intention, and his advice for anyone trying to build a career in a lane that doesn't exist yet.

In this episode, we get into:
* How Kyle became the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, and how a proof-of-concept Instagram account he ran during COVID turned into a job that didn't exist before he pitched for it
* His path from working under celebrity stylist Karla Welch, to styling NFL Network hosts, to building the league's entire fashion strategy from the ground up
* The story behind Joe Burrow's viral backless Peter Do suit at Vogue World Paris, and how the moment generated $22 million in paid media value
* Why Hermès has become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, from Saquon Barkley's shadow Birkin to custom Bengals-orange bags for Joe Burrow
* His theory on why athletes, not influencers, are becoming fashion's most trusted tastemakers, and what that means for how brands think about visibility
* The "what rooms do you want to be in" framework he uses with players (and the rest of us) to make getting dressed intentional instead of reactive
* His advice for anyone trying to build a career in a space that doesn't have a clear path yet, no permission required
* What to actually wear to a football game, from suite dressing to jewelry to his favorite NFL x Abercrombie merch
* The NFL players he's watching this season for the best tunnel style, including Ted Karras and Jonnu Delpit

How The RealReal Founder Julie Wainwright Built a Billion-Dollar Business

Lets Get Dressed 2026-08-31 | This is the last episode of our August hiatus, and we wanted to close it out with one of the most inspiring conversations from the past year. Heading into a new season felt like the right time to revisit Julie Wainwright's story — about reinvention, building something from scratch, and trusting yourself when the path isn't obvious. We're back with brand new episodes next week!

From shuttering a business to billion-dollar success, Julie Wainwright is a serial entrepreneur who's seen it all. After serving as CEO of Pets.com and experiencing its collapse during the dot-com crash, Julie reinvented herself and went on to build The RealReal, the luxury resale platform that revolutionized the industry. In this episode, Julie opens up about how she turned a setback into her biggest company yet, the innovations that set The RealReal apart, and the powerful lessons she's learned as a woman navigating the business world.

[FROM THE ARCHIVES] What To Wear When Nothing In Your Closet Feels Like You Anymore

Lets Get Dressed 2026-08-24 | We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. As we head into a new season — both literally and personally — this conversation about finding your style through life's shifts felt like the right one to revisit.

What happens when your body, your life, or your routine changes, and suddenly nothing in your closet feels like you anymore? In this week's episode, Liv sits down with stylist and author Allison Bornstein to talk about finding your style again through life's shifts: pregnancy, postpartum, new jobs, breakups, or just new eras.

They chat about making peace with your closet, letting go of the clothes that "ask too much" of you, and learning how to dress for the person you are right now vs the person your clothes could hold you to be. Allison shares her signature Three-Word Method, tips for rebuilding confidence when your body changes, and why the goal isn't a perfect wardrobe, but a kinder relationship with the one you already have.

[FROM THE ARCHIVES] Meet the Fashion Archivist Behind Chloe Sevignys Closet

Lets Get Dressed 2026-08-17 | We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. After last week's closet cleanout episode, this one felt like the perfect follow-up — because once you've edited your wardrobe down, the next question is how to actually take care of what's left.

Have you ever wondered where all the red carpet gowns go when the night is over? Meet Julie Ann Clauss, the founder and head archivist of The Wardrobe, a fashion archive based in Los Angeles and home to the wardrobes of Chloe Sevigny and some of our favorites celebs. After getting her masters at FIT in Fashion History, Julie Ann was poached by Tom Ford to create his archive, and then went on to create the archives of Jason Wu, Carolina Herrera, Proenza Schouler, Ralph Lauren, and many more. In today's episode, Julie Ann walks us through the art of archiving, her best preservation tips, and what she thinks will be most collectable from 2025.

[FROM THE ARCHIVES] How To Dress For Sun Protection

Lets Get Dressed 2026-08-03 | We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. If you've been reaching for the same sunscreen and calling it a day, this episode will change how you think about sun protection — and your summer wardrobe.

I’m joined by one of my oldest friends, Emma Gerber, who just so happens to be building one of the most exciting brands in the suncare space. Claudent is designing stylish, elevated UPF 50+ clothing that not only protects your skin but makes you want to wear sun-safe looks every day. We talk about the science behind UPF fabric, why most “sun-protective” clothes wash out after a few cycles, and how her brand is redefining fashion-meets-function.

Why Getting Dressed Feels So Hard and How to Get Your Mornings Back

Lets Get Dressed 2026-07-27 | If you have ever stood in a closet full of clothes and thought "I have nothing to wear," this episode is for you. It's our last solo episode before we head off for summer break, and I'm unpacking what I'm calling my biggest style growth spurt in years. It didn't come from one purchase or one outfit, it came from a full mental shift in how I think about getting dressed every day, treating my personal style with the same care I give my physical and mental wellness. I get into the wardrobe reset that came out of it, the "wardrobe rage" phenomenon Maggie Sellers coined on her podcast Hot Smart Rich (Did you know on average women lose 119 days of their careers just getting dressed?!), and the quarterly system I now swear by to keep my closet and my mornings actually working for me. Plus, a full Q&A covering monthly clothing budgets, what to do with a former "it" item you've fallen out of love with, and what to wear to the beach if shorts just aren't your thing.

Consider this your cheat code to stop losing 10 minutes every morning to a pile of clothes on the floor.

Shop all items mentioned in the episode: go.shopmy.us/p-73480919

In this episode, we get into:

- My biggest style growth spurt to date
- Why I, a self-described serial over-dresser, couldn't put together a casual outfit
- My quarterly closet ritual
- Why a spotless closet is "personal style hygiene"
- The "wardrobe rage" phenomenon
- Law Roach's advice on giving yourself permission to miss
- How I talk myself through a bad outfit day instead of spiraling
- My case for repeating outfits
- Building five to ten go-to looks for the office
- Why outfit repeating should be celebrated, not hidden
- Clearing out half my closet last summer with stylist Thomas Christos Kikis
- What I keep versus sell
- How I decide on a monthly clothing budget
- What to do with a former "it" item you've outgrown
- My go-to beach styling that isn't shorts

How to Break Into Fashion, with Industry Commentator @Jack.Savoie

Lets Get Dressed 2026-07-20 | If you think you have to move to New York or LA to make it in fashion, this episode says otherwise.

Jack Savoie joins us from Denver to talk about building a fashion career — and a viral following — without uprooting your life. We get into how a fake Manolo Blahnik callout on TikTok caught Bethenny Frankel's attention and took him from 20K to 67K followers overnight, why he still works full-time as a buyer at A.Line while creating content on the side, and how he broke the news that Sabrina Carpenter was wearing Dior at Coachella before Vogue's own exclusive dropped. We also talk about his path from Nordstrom shoe sales to designer buying, the "Shoes of the Past" series that turned fashion nostalgia into a cultural moment, and his advice for anyone trying to break into the industry without an internship or a big city zip code.

In this episode, we get into:

- How Jack built a career in fashion while staying based in Denver, and why he doesn't think you need to live in New York or LA to make it in the industry
- The story behind his viral Manolo Blahnik video — how he spotted a fake shoe in a Bethenny Frankel TikTok and grew from 20K to 67K followers in under 24 hours
- His path from selling shoes at Nordstrom to becoming a buyer at boutique retailer A.Line
- How "Shoes of the Past," his series on discontinued cult shoes like the YSL Eiffel Tower cage boot and the Isabel Marant Beckett wedge, became his biggest content wave
- What it's actually like balancing a full-time buying job with a content career, and how he manages burnout
- How he broke the news that Sabrina Carpenter wore Dior at Coachella before Vogue's own exclusive was published
- His biggest recent splurge — a surprise Birkin 30 in Rouge H from his longtime Hermès sales associate — and why he waits months before wearing new purchases
- The brands and designers he thinks are doing the best work right now, including Chanel, Dior, and Kallmeyer
- His current red carpet favorites, from Teyana Taylor and Margot Robbie to Sombr's fashion-forward run this year
- His advice for anyone trying to break into fashion without a traditional industry job or big-city move

The Fashion Girl’s Guide to Shopping in LA

Lets Get Dressed 2026-07-13 | Okay, I have to say it: retail is broken, and I don't think I'm the only one who feels that way.

I've had such a big bone to pick with retail lately, and every time I bring it up — here on the podcast, on my socials — you guys have so much to say too. So today I'm finally getting into it: the post-COVID luxury gatekeeping that's got us all waiting in line for something that's supposed to feel special, the final sale chaos that's basically taken over everything, and the whole Brandy Melville dressing room saga that broke the internet a few weeks ago. After I posted a rant about all of this on Instagram, I woke up to literally hundreds of DMs from you guys with your own horror stories and dream stories, and there was such a clear through line in what everyone said that I knew I had to bring it here properly. But I didn't want to just complain for 30 minutes, so the back half of this episode is my full LA shopping guide — every vintage store, denim spot, concept store, and standalone brand that's actually doing it right, plus exactly how I'd plan a full day of shopping in West Hollywood, Venice, or Malibu.

In this episode, we get into:

- Why Liv thinks retail peaked too soon, from luxury's post-COVID gatekeeping (appointments, lines) to the final-sale "epidemic" hitting resale sites like The RealReal
- The Brandy Melville dressing room controversy, and what it says about the shopping experience for an entire generation
- The flood of DMs Liv got after her retail rant went viral, and the surprising through-line in what listeners said they miss most about shopping
- Liv's case for why LA is having a real shopping renaissance, and why she calls it the denim capital of the world
- Her definitive vintage guide, including Scout, RLT, Reformation Vintage, and The RealReal
- Where to find the best vintage denim in LA, from With Love, Lenny to The Dig in Venice
- Her favorite multi-brand and concept stores, including Mohawk General Store and the newly opened Earl IRL (owned by former editor Laurel Pantin)
- Standout standalone brand stores, from a surprise favorite at Rachel Comey to an appointment-only visit to Jacques Marie Mage
- How to plan a full day of shopping in West Hollywood, Abbot Kinney, or Malibu Country Mart, including where to eat
- Liv's advice for finding a genuine, personal shopping experience wherever you live

How To Master the In-Between Outfits

Lets Get Dressed 2026-07-06 | If your everyday outfits feel like an afterthought, this episode is going to change that.

Gabs Gofis (aka Gift of Gabs on Substack) joins us to talk about the category most of us ignore: the in-between outfit. We get into how she built a signature, easy LA style after years of feeling confused by trends, why she's stopped sizing for her true size and started sizing for fit, and the exact brands she reaches for on repeat — Donni, Still Here New York, RLT, and more. We also talk eyewear as the most underrated investment in your closet, how she finds one-of-a-kind vintage on Etsy and The RealReal (and the AI hack she swears by for sizing), and why her "Gaps in the Closet" practice changed the way she shops for good.

Plus, we get into slob chic, the difference between LA dressing and New York dressing, the bag she actually wears every day versus the one she dreams of, and her advice for anyone who feels like they're either too dressed up or not dressed up at all.

Shop all items mentioned in the episode: shopmy.us/collections/5987092

In this episode, we get into:

Why Gabs believes the "in-between" outfit — not your dressed-up looks — is actually the most important category in your closet
How moving from the East Coast to LA completely shifted her personal style, and why LA dressing is rooted in ease over polish
Her go-to in-between brands on repeat
Why she invests in eyewear over almost anything else right now — including her vintage Chanel pair from The RealReal and her Phoebe Philo "Cookie" sunglasses
Her best vintage shopping hacks + how she searches Etsy by fabric and the AI trick she uses to check sizing before buying
Her "Gaps in the Closet" method
How she dresses up a sweatpant moment without trying too hard
The bag she actually wears every day versus the investment piece she's not ready to carry daily yet
Her go-to shoe rotation for elevating a casual outfit
Her favorite LA shopping spots for vintage and resale
How she would style a wedding guest dress under $500

The Sporty Girls Guide to Getting Dressed with @BrettsBites

Lets Get Dressed 2026-06-29 | Content creator and marathon runner @BrettsBites joins us for what we're calling the sporty girl's guide to getting dressed — a practical conversation about building a wardrobe around an active life without sacrificing style.

We get into all of it: how being an athlete shapes the way you see your body and get dressed, the bags she's investing in (and why she gravitates toward color over classics), her honest take on wearables and why she finally took off her Oura Ring, and the exact brands and pieces she reaches for every single day.

We also talk about Bites Run Club — how a spontaneous Instagram story turned into 150 girls showing up to run Central Park, and why in-person community might be one of the most underrated things you can build right now. Plus the runner uglies, men's deodorant as a life hack, designing her own Nike shoe, and the wardrobe advice she gives every woman who moves a lot and actually wants to get dressed.

Shop all items mentioned in the episode: shopmy.us/shop/collections/5831698

In this episode, we get into:

- How being a marathon runner has completely shaped the way Brett gets dressed — and why athletes often have the most instinctive sense of personal style
- The sporty girl uniform that actually works: the exact jeans, tops, and shoes Brett reaches for when she wants to look put together without trying too hard
- Why she sizes up in almost everything she buys — and why she tells her followers to stop looking at the tag
- The bag conversation: why she invests in color over classics, the pistachio suede Chanel she ran a race for
- Her honest Oura Ring confession — why she wore it every day for a year, what finally made her take it off, and whether she'd ever go back
- The Apple Watch debate: why she thinks it's "tears" as a fashion accessory and what she actually wears on her wrist instead
- Her go-to workout gear broken down by activity — what she runs in versus what she wears to Pilates, and why those are two very different wardrobes
- Designing her own Nike Vomero+ colorway and why it felt like a full-circle moment from her Nike ID days in high school
- How Bites Run Club started with one Instagram story and 150 girls showing up to Central Park — and why she thinks in-person community is what people are craving most right now
- The post-grad loneliness no one talks about — and how finding a hobby with a built-in community can change everything
- The deodorant hot take that stopped us in our tracks (hint: it's from the men's aisle)
- Her dessert bowl wardrobe breakdown: the piece she's had since high school that's still in heavy rotation, the brand she keeps buying in multiples, and what recently got retired

Are Handbags Actually a Good Investment?

Lets Get Dressed 2026-06-15 | Handbags have always been emotional purchases. Somewhere along the way, they became financial ones too, and if you've ever tried to justify a Birkin to someone who doesn't get it, Rachel Koffsky is the woman who makes that argument for you.

Rachel is the Head of Handbags at Christie's, one of the world's most prestigious auction houses, and has spent 12 years at the intersection of fashion, collecting, and the resale market. She joins me to break down what it actually means to treat a handbag like an asset, and which bags are worth your money right now.

We get into the history of handbags at auction, what the market is telling us about where we are culturally, and why classic pieces continue to outperform almost everything else. Whether you're sitting on a collection or thinking about your first serious purchase, this episode will change how you think about what's hanging in your closet.

Shop all items mentioned in the episode: shopmy.us/collections/5624992

In this episode, we get into:
- How Christie's first offered a handbag for sale in 1978 — with pieces from Coco Chanel's personal collection
- The era of the It Bag and why the late 90s and early 2000s changed collecting forever
- Why Birkins and Kellys set record prices during the 2008 recession — and what that proved about handbags as investments
- How the pandemic accelerated the shift to digital and created an entirely new generation of handbag collectors
- Christie's 96% sell-through rate in handbags and what it signals about the current market
- The five factors Christie's uses to evaluate and price every bag: brand, material, model, condition, and rarity
- Which bags are actually appreciating right now — and which are too trend-dependent to hold value
- Why the Kelly Pochette is having its moment and what's driving demand for smaller, evening-ready styles
- The world record Christie's set for a Kelly Doll bag — and why it sold for $350,000
- How to research a bag purchase the way a collector would
- The difference between buying at Christie's versus a resale platform — and when each makes sense
- Why Karl-era Chanel is having a major moment at auction right now
- The sticker debate: does leaving them on actually increase value?
Why Rachel believes handbags should be worn, loved, and used — not kept in a box

What Makes a Great Sneaker? With APL founders Adam and Ryan Goldston

Lets Get Dressed 2026-06-08 | Sneakers used to be one of two things: performance or fashion. Somewhere in the last decade, that line collapsed — and the shoes most of us are reaching for now sit firmly in the middle.

I'm joined by Adam and Ryan Goldston, founders of APL and the first members of an athletic company ever inducted into the CFDA, for a conversation on how they ushered in the era of the fashion sneaker. From getting banned by the NBA for their first shoe to landing in Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and Saks before anyone else was selling performance product in those rooms, Adam and Ryan share how a clear point of view — and a refusal to use logos — built one of the most distinctive sneaker brands in the world.

We get into world-building beyond product, why they believe taste is their real superpower and the consumer shift toward quieter, design-led pieces.

Shop APL athleticpropulsionlabs.com

In this episode, we get into:

What actually set the stage for the era of the fashion sneaker
Why being inducted into the CFDA in 2016 was a turning point for the entire sneaker industry
The decision to launch in Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and Saks before anyone else was selling performance in luxury rooms
Why APL refuses to use big, emblazoned logos — and how that built a stronger brand
The rise of the personal brand and why consumers don't want to be walking advertisements anymore
What "simple, yet severe" actually means as a design philosophy
Inside the APL flagship at The Grove and why it feels more like a gallery than a store
Why building a brand world still requires a physical experience in an increasingly digital age
Ralph Lauren as the singular blueprint for world-building — and the moment they found out Ralph himself is an APL fan
Why Adam and Ryan consider taste their real superpower (and how to cultivate it)
The relationship between taste, bravery, and confidence
The Tokyo trip and the souffle pancakes that inspired the ZipLine midsole
Why texture — both tactile and visual — is the most important element of a perfect sneaker
The rise of the luxury basic and why consumers are investing in staples right now
How the F1 partnership in 2016 shaped APL's global luxury performance positioning

How to Find the Perfect Pair of Jeans for Your Body Type (From a Vintage Denim Expert)

Lets Get Dressed 2026-06-01 | Denim should be the easiest thing in our closet — we wear it almost every single day — but somehow it's the category that humbles us the most. We've all had that experience of walking into a department store, trying on ten pairs of jeans, and leaving with none.
I'm joined by Lindsay Davidson Paley, founder of Lenny, the LA vintage denim store that has become a destination for anyone looking for their perfect pair. After spending an afternoon in her store and walking out with jeans I actually love, I wanted to sit down with her to demystify everything about denim — from why fit feels impossible right now, to what to actually look for when you're vintage shopping, to the conversation you should be having with your tailor.

In this episode, we get into:
- Why finding jeans that fit feels harder than ever (and the fit model problem nobody talks about)
Vanity sizing and why you're a 24 in one brand and a 26 in another
- The single most important thing to know before you shop for jeans (hint: your measurements)
- Why Lindsay's a firm believer in dressing for your body — and the one rule jeans don't get to break
- The Levi's 501 lore: why everyone wants them, why they don't work on everyone, and how to actually wear them
- The viral "size up three in the new 501s" hack — and whether it actually works
- The three non-negotiables Lindsay looks for when sourcing vintage denim (original hem, wash, distressing)
- Why the original hem is sacred and what to tell your tailor so you never lose it
- The case against skinny jeans (and why America is the only country that agrees)
- Why a dark wash is the most universally flattering and elevating
- The crotch test — Lindsay's #1 tell for whether a pair of jeans is actually right for you
- How to know when a pair is workable for tailoring vs. when to put them back
- Whether $700 jeans are worth it and what you're actually paying for
- The best modern denim brands worth investing in (Agolde, Citizens, The Row's Yale Alaw, Khaite, Reformation)
- The best pregnancy jean (and the Levi's Low Loose nobody can stop wearing)
- Why denim is officially a neutral — and what it says about fashion that Chanel, Celine, and Gucci are all sending jeans down the runway
- Plus, on Let's Get You Dressed: what to actually wear to a spring baby shower when you're not a floral dress girl

The World of Ralph Lauren: How One Brand Has Shaped American Style for 60 Years

Lets Get Dressed 2026-05-11 | Ralph Lauren isn't just a brand — it's one of the only American fashion houses that has shaped culture for nearly 60 years. And right now, it's having one of its biggest cultural moments yet, resonating across every generation.

Today we’re joined by longtime WWD fashion editor and friend of the house, Bridget Foley, who’s had a front row seat to the brand’s evolution. She’s also the author of Lauren’s latest book, Ralph Lauren Catwalk, which covers over 100 runway shows and the brand’s most iconic moments.

In this episode, we get into:

What actually defines a brand with longevity (and why so few designers achieve it)
Ralph's "meet cute" moment with fashion and why he calls himself a storyteller, not a designer
The authenticity that makes Ralph different from every other luxury house
Why Ralph was doing "lifestyle" decades before the term existed
The hand-me-downs, vintage uniforms, and Bronx childhood that shaped his entire aesthetic
Ralph's belief in longevity and preservation, sustainability before it had a name
Inside the Ralph Lauren archive (and why Bridget calls it a "fashion lover's wonderland")
Why Gen Z fell in love with Ralph Lauren and what their parents' closets have to do with it
The codes that have permeated time: the tuxedo jacket over jeans, the polo shirt, the patchwork
Ralph Lauren's optimism and what it's actually rooted in
What Ralph has done to stay relevant with the next generation

Bonus Episode: The Spring Closet Clean Out Cheat Sheet

Lets Get Dressed 2026-05-06 | If there’s one thing that’s transformed my personal style the most, it’s this: editing my closet. I’m a firm believer that a tidy closet = a clear mind, and every spring, I treat it like a full reset.
After doing one of the biggest clean-outs of my life (we’re talking half my closet gone), I realized that great style isn’t about having more, it’s about having the right pieces, and knowing how to let go of the rest.

In this solo episode, I’m walking you through my exact, step-by-step guide to a spring closet reset—how to approach it with intention, make it actually enjoyable, and come out the other side with a wardrobe that finally feels like you.

We get into:
- How to define your personal style right now
- The exact system I use to edit my closet (keep, tailor, rehome)
- My “hero rack” trick that changes how you get dressed every day
- What to do with pieces you feel emotionally attached to
- How to actually sell your clothes (and make money back)
- Why you shouldn’t rush to buy anything new after a clean-out

Thank you to Depop for making this episode possible. Happy selling, happy shopping, and happy spring cleaning 🧼

Inside Anne Hathaway’s Stylist’s Method for Getting Dressed

Lets Get Dressed 2026-04-21 | Getting dressed isn't just about clothes — it's emotional, it's personal, and it's one of the most powerful tools we have to step into who we want to be. So how do we actually use it?

I'm joined by Erin Walsh, the stylist behind some of the most iconic women in Hollywood — Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, Mindy Kaling — and the mind behind Anne's unforgettable Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour.

Fresh off last night's New York premiere, Erin walks us through what it actually takes to build a press tour of this scale — the Easter eggs, the Valentino Rockstud comeback, the meta moments — and why every look comes back to one question: how do you want to feel?

We also get into Erin's CREATE method from her upcoming book The Art of Intention, and how the same tools she uses on red carpets can transform how any of us get dressed every single day.

In this episode, we get into:
What "intentional dressing" really means and how to actually do it
The 3-word rule Erin uses with every client
How to find your style "superpower" and lean into it
Why clothes are emotional — and what to do when your closet feels like a stranger
How to get out of a style rut
Inside the Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour: the references, the collaborations, the chaos
The Valentino Rockstud comeback and why it actually works
How Erin handles real-time criticism on the biggest carpets in the world
Why fashion is moving back toward joy — from Matthieu at Chanel to Selena at the Golden Globes
The "supernova" mindset Michael Kors gave her 20 years ago
What's actually in a stylist's toolkit (and the brands she swears by)
Her go-to jeans, white tee, and blazer — and where to shop each one
The fastest way to elevate any outfit instantly
