You are back because we 7 00:00:34,105 --> 00:00:37,345 Speaker 1: did an episode a little while ago about twenty twenty 8 00:00:37,345 --> 00:00:40,305 Speaker 1: five trend predictions, and there is just so much happening 9 00:00:40,345 --> 00:00:42,985 Speaker 1: and so much coming and I didn't want to miss anything, 10 00:00:43,025 --> 00:00:44,025 Speaker 1: So welcome back. 11 00:00:44,225 --> 00:00:45,385 Speaker 2: Thanks for having me back. 12 00:00:45,465 --> 00:00:47,345 Speaker 1: It is very exciting to hear what we're going to 13 00:00:47,425 --> 00:00:50,105 Speaker 1: see because you and people in rolls like yours in 14 00:00:50,145 --> 00:00:52,665 Speaker 1: the fashion industry just kind of know what the future is. 15 00:00:53,025 --> 00:00:55,945 Speaker 1: It's very cool. It's not until I go into stores 16 00:00:55,985 --> 00:00:58,265 Speaker 1: or shop online and I'm like, oh, there's buddy yellow, 17 00:00:58,265 --> 00:01:00,105 Speaker 1: Oh there's buttery yellow, and you're like, duh, I knew 18 00:01:00,105 --> 00:01:02,785 Speaker 1: that months ago. So let's kick off with some more 19 00:01:02,825 --> 00:01:06,705 Speaker 1: trends that are coming or are kind of evolving, shares 20 00:01:06,985 --> 00:01:10,185 Speaker 1: and transparents. I feel like this has been around for while. 21 00:01:10,225 --> 00:01:13,025 Speaker 1: I've got some sheer bits that I'm wearing my bras 22 00:01:13,145 --> 00:01:15,225 Speaker 1: under and you know, bits and pieces so what does 23 00:01:15,225 --> 00:01:17,465 Speaker 1: shear and transparent look like? Now? 24 00:01:17,825 --> 00:01:20,025 Speaker 2: Okay, so yes, we have seen it for a while, 25 00:01:20,025 --> 00:01:22,265 Speaker 2: but it's also like some people, you know, you kind 26 00:01:22,265 --> 00:01:24,545 Speaker 2: of early adopters will pick it up and then it 27 00:01:24,625 --> 00:01:27,225 Speaker 2: kind of filters through. Yes, so we've seen it come 28 00:01:27,345 --> 00:01:29,305 Speaker 2: through and it is tricky to wear. But this time 29 00:01:29,345 --> 00:01:31,305 Speaker 2: it's going to be a bit more multi layered, so 30 00:01:31,345 --> 00:01:33,745 Speaker 2: you're not so worried about what am I gonna wear 31 00:01:33,865 --> 00:01:36,905 Speaker 2: underneath because it's totally see through. Yeah, so it could 32 00:01:36,945 --> 00:01:39,025 Speaker 2: be shares with like they've got you know, a double 33 00:01:39,105 --> 00:01:40,825 Speaker 2: or a triple layer type thing. 34 00:01:40,745 --> 00:01:44,785 Speaker 1: Okay, like a lining, but intentional in that, like there's 35 00:01:44,825 --> 00:01:47,185 Speaker 1: a few layers, so you're not just like, wow, there's 36 00:01:47,225 --> 00:01:48,825 Speaker 1: my bra, how do I layer? 37 00:01:48,985 --> 00:01:49,345 Speaker 2: Exactly? 38 00:01:49,345 --> 00:01:51,465 Speaker 1: They've thought about the layering for you. They've thought about 39 00:01:51,505 --> 00:01:51,985 Speaker 1: it for you. 40 00:01:52,065 --> 00:01:55,465 Speaker 2: So the sheer skirt but overlay might be sheer, but 41 00:01:55,505 --> 00:01:58,025 Speaker 2: then what's underneath it might just not be shit? 42 00:01:58,225 --> 00:02:00,945 Speaker 1: Okay. I like that It takes the guesswork out because 43 00:02:00,985 --> 00:02:03,065 Speaker 1: sometimes you look at an outfit or an inspo pick 44 00:02:03,105 --> 00:02:05,785 Speaker 1: and you're like, gosh, that's amazing, but how do I 45 00:02:05,825 --> 00:02:08,425 Speaker 1: wear that? Can I wear that? Without you know, feeling 46 00:02:08,465 --> 00:02:11,345 Speaker 1: really self conscious, but if it's the layerer intentional, you 47 00:02:11,345 --> 00:02:12,905 Speaker 1: don't have to thoct about it exactly. 48 00:02:12,985 --> 00:02:15,065 Speaker 2: And I feel like designers had listened to that. So 49 00:02:15,185 --> 00:02:17,465 Speaker 2: on the runway you'll see its sheer and it's totally 50 00:02:17,505 --> 00:02:20,385 Speaker 2: see through, but then like to sell it, there's always 51 00:02:20,385 --> 00:02:21,425 Speaker 2: something underneath here. 52 00:02:21,465 --> 00:02:22,905 Speaker 1: Because we're not all rocking out nips out to the 53 00:02:22,905 --> 00:02:27,745 Speaker 1: office that way exactly, all right off the shoulder and asymmetrical. 54 00:02:27,785 --> 00:02:29,825 Speaker 1: I feel like this what do you call it? Neckline? 55 00:02:29,825 --> 00:02:33,705 Speaker 1: I guess yes is always yes, is always coming and 56 00:02:33,705 --> 00:02:36,265 Speaker 1: going and it's kind of classic. But it's interesting talk 57 00:02:36,305 --> 00:02:36,985 Speaker 1: to me about that. 58 00:02:37,305 --> 00:02:39,425 Speaker 2: So I think that people must have loved it because 59 00:02:39,465 --> 00:02:42,065 Speaker 2: it's just twenty twenty five. There's more of it, and 60 00:02:42,105 --> 00:02:44,305 Speaker 2: we're seeing it not only in tops, we're also seeing 61 00:02:44,385 --> 00:02:47,425 Speaker 2: in dresses. It allows for that draping, so you know, 62 00:02:47,465 --> 00:02:49,945 Speaker 2: it's a little bit more forgiving. So I think that's 63 00:02:49,985 --> 00:02:52,145 Speaker 2: why people are really liking it. It can turn into 64 00:02:52,225 --> 00:02:54,545 Speaker 2: like kind of a drapy type dress. Yes, it's a 65 00:02:54,585 --> 00:02:56,625 Speaker 2: little bit sexier when you show a little bit of 66 00:02:56,625 --> 00:02:59,945 Speaker 2: skin on your one shoulder. Yet one shoulder. 67 00:02:59,785 --> 00:03:02,425 Speaker 1: Practicality though, are we wearing a strapless bra then, because 68 00:03:02,425 --> 00:03:04,945 Speaker 1: you can't really wear a normal bra, I mean one shoulder. 69 00:03:04,985 --> 00:03:07,625 Speaker 2: Could I actually wear a strapless under both of those? 70 00:03:07,825 --> 00:03:10,145 Speaker 2: Because I think that's what you need to really, Yeah, 71 00:03:10,185 --> 00:03:11,385 Speaker 2: you can't wear anything else. 72 00:03:11,505 --> 00:03:13,545 Speaker 1: No, I know skims does a one shoulder bra, but 73 00:03:13,545 --> 00:03:15,465 Speaker 1: then how do you know which shoulder your dress or 74 00:03:15,505 --> 00:03:17,425 Speaker 1: your top's going to need no strap? But yeah, just 75 00:03:17,425 --> 00:03:18,185 Speaker 1: go strapless. 76 00:03:18,625 --> 00:03:21,625 Speaker 2: That is true. Yes, I do feel like they're always 77 00:03:21,745 --> 00:03:23,865 Speaker 2: sort of on the same side. But no, you're right, 78 00:03:23,905 --> 00:03:25,345 Speaker 2: I did try something on the hour. 79 00:03:25,705 --> 00:03:28,465 Speaker 1: Is it always a bear left or a bead right shoulder? 80 00:03:28,865 --> 00:03:31,785 Speaker 1: And so is the shoulder that is slightly covered? Is 81 00:03:31,785 --> 00:03:34,745 Speaker 1: that still kind of what we call like a sleeveless 82 00:03:34,785 --> 00:03:36,985 Speaker 1: like a singlarity top or are we getting any long sleeve? 83 00:03:37,145 --> 00:03:39,425 Speaker 2: Oh yet we're getting into long sleeves as well. Okay, 84 00:03:39,545 --> 00:03:42,465 Speaker 2: so you might see, yes, you might see like it's 85 00:03:42,505 --> 00:03:44,585 Speaker 2: off the shoulder on one side and maybe it has 86 00:03:44,625 --> 00:03:47,145 Speaker 2: a long fluted sleeve or maybe it just has a 87 00:03:47,185 --> 00:03:49,785 Speaker 2: shirt sleeve. I mean you can even do this with 88 00:03:49,905 --> 00:03:51,585 Speaker 2: if you've just got a shirt at home, you can 89 00:03:51,665 --> 00:03:53,265 Speaker 2: kind of style it that way as well. 90 00:03:53,385 --> 00:03:57,385 Speaker 1: Yeah, it becomes a one shoulder around. So, speaking of 91 00:03:57,425 --> 00:03:59,665 Speaker 1: those tops, is it kind of just that classic drape? 92 00:03:59,665 --> 00:04:01,185 Speaker 1: Is there anything different about it? 93 00:04:01,665 --> 00:04:04,345 Speaker 2: So there's the classic drape, and there's also I guess 94 00:04:04,385 --> 00:04:06,985 Speaker 2: like a folded top, so that'll be like more like 95 00:04:07,025 --> 00:04:08,145 Speaker 2: a square necklimb. 96 00:04:08,145 --> 00:04:11,865 Speaker 1: But it's sort of like folded ogami. Yeah, so it's 97 00:04:11,905 --> 00:04:13,425 Speaker 1: just like a double layer. 98 00:04:13,345 --> 00:04:15,665 Speaker 2: Okay, quite long. Actually it might go up to here 99 00:04:15,705 --> 00:04:18,105 Speaker 2: when it falls over, So starts here comes down to here. 100 00:04:18,305 --> 00:04:21,625 Speaker 1: Interesting an address or a top okay, in address and 101 00:04:21,945 --> 00:04:24,505 Speaker 1: that's tops. Are we seeing skirts? I know we spoke 102 00:04:24,545 --> 00:04:27,105 Speaker 1: on the other episode about those kind of handkerchief skirts, 103 00:04:27,145 --> 00:04:29,265 Speaker 1: but are we seeing asymmetric? 104 00:04:29,585 --> 00:04:33,065 Speaker 2: We are mine, So asymmetric headlines not only on say, 105 00:04:33,265 --> 00:04:34,905 Speaker 2: I know we're talking about tops, but just on the 106 00:04:34,945 --> 00:04:38,065 Speaker 2: top as well. So it doesn't go down the way, Yeah, 107 00:04:38,105 --> 00:04:41,545 Speaker 2: it goes down asymmetrically. And then also in skirts, which 108 00:04:41,545 --> 00:04:44,225 Speaker 2: I think is really good because you know, saferends, you 109 00:04:44,265 --> 00:04:45,705 Speaker 2: don't want to wear a short skirt and you still 110 00:04:45,705 --> 00:04:47,145 Speaker 2: want to wear a long skirt, but it's kind of 111 00:04:47,145 --> 00:04:49,625 Speaker 2: like shot on one side, so it's asymmetrical one but 112 00:04:49,665 --> 00:04:51,705 Speaker 2: you still feel like you're wearing a long skirt. 113 00:04:51,825 --> 00:04:54,385 Speaker 1: Okay, So that's more kind of cut diagonal. It's different 114 00:04:54,425 --> 00:04:56,465 Speaker 1: to that handkerchief hem which is a bit more sort 115 00:04:56,465 --> 00:04:59,585 Speaker 1: of jagged. This is kind of just longer on one 116 00:04:59,585 --> 00:05:02,545 Speaker 1: side than the other. Correct, Okay, I couldn't maybe do 117 00:05:02,625 --> 00:05:05,905 Speaker 1: that in a dress. Tell me about what's happening with pink, 118 00:05:05,985 --> 00:05:09,385 Speaker 1: because I feel like after the Barbie movie, the whole 119 00:05:09,385 --> 00:05:13,065 Speaker 1: world was pink and then everyone had pink hangover and 120 00:05:13,105 --> 00:05:14,265 Speaker 1: it kind of disappeared. 121 00:05:14,345 --> 00:05:18,185 Speaker 2: So bubblegum pink, yes, so there might be some thinking, 122 00:05:18,265 --> 00:05:20,665 Speaker 2: Like trend predictions are kind of telling us there could 123 00:05:20,665 --> 00:05:22,345 Speaker 2: be a bit of bubble gum pink. So I'm waiting 124 00:05:22,385 --> 00:05:23,265 Speaker 2: for it to come through. 125 00:05:23,465 --> 00:05:26,705 Speaker 1: Not a hot future pink, no, Okay, I got fresh shirt. 126 00:05:26,705 --> 00:05:29,425 Speaker 2: I'm like, I guess bright but kind of like a 127 00:05:29,585 --> 00:05:33,065 Speaker 2: lolly pink. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna call it. And so 128 00:05:33,825 --> 00:05:36,225 Speaker 2: you might see it in skirts. It might be like 129 00:05:36,265 --> 00:05:38,705 Speaker 2: in a T shirt, say like it's a graphic T shirt, 130 00:05:38,705 --> 00:05:40,505 Speaker 2: it's got a print on it, but that base color 131 00:05:40,665 --> 00:05:41,425 Speaker 2: is bright pink. 132 00:05:41,745 --> 00:05:44,745 Speaker 1: I love that pink with denim or with a fresh white. 133 00:05:44,745 --> 00:05:46,665 Speaker 2: Yep, they're two good ways to wear it. Definitely. 134 00:05:47,025 --> 00:05:49,105 Speaker 1: Okay, I like that. I do like pink. I just 135 00:05:49,305 --> 00:05:52,345 Speaker 1: had too much of it. The New Grind, what is 136 00:05:52,425 --> 00:05:53,865 Speaker 1: this all about so. 137 00:05:53,905 --> 00:05:56,705 Speaker 2: The new grind, let's talk about. It's like work where 138 00:05:56,865 --> 00:05:58,865 Speaker 2: meets rebellion. So let's face it. I mean, we all 139 00:05:58,905 --> 00:06:01,425 Speaker 2: have to work, so we need our staple work wear. 140 00:06:01,785 --> 00:06:03,745 Speaker 2: So it's shirting or tailoring with a bit of a 141 00:06:03,825 --> 00:06:06,585 Speaker 2: sexier edge, but then wearing this sort of thing for 142 00:06:06,665 --> 00:06:09,025 Speaker 2: more party dressing more like, so it's day to night. 143 00:06:09,145 --> 00:06:12,105 Speaker 2: It's kind of of like work to drinks vibe. So 144 00:06:12,145 --> 00:06:14,305 Speaker 2: it might be like say on the runway, it'll be 145 00:06:14,385 --> 00:06:16,865 Speaker 2: like classic officer type and then it's got you know, 146 00:06:17,025 --> 00:06:20,225 Speaker 2: sexy elements coming through a little bit something sheer on 147 00:06:20,305 --> 00:06:23,385 Speaker 2: the shirt. Maybe the way it's styled. Okay, maybe there's 148 00:06:23,385 --> 00:06:26,185 Speaker 2: a bit of lace back with it. 149 00:06:26,345 --> 00:06:29,585 Speaker 1: Interesting. I don't think I could do that. I don't 150 00:06:29,665 --> 00:06:32,905 Speaker 1: understand that one. But that's okay, not all trends for everyone. 151 00:06:33,105 --> 00:06:36,265 Speaker 2: There's a few cutouts and maybe undone details. So maybe 152 00:06:36,265 --> 00:06:39,545 Speaker 2: the blazer that you've got isn't quite finished, like right, 153 00:06:39,865 --> 00:06:42,345 Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of like got a raw edge, yes, 154 00:06:42,385 --> 00:06:43,625 Speaker 2: which I think is an easy one. 155 00:06:43,625 --> 00:06:46,825 Speaker 1: Like so yes, that's easy, that's entry level, okay, And. 156 00:06:46,785 --> 00:06:48,945 Speaker 2: I guess it's like highlighting that a bit more of 157 00:06:48,945 --> 00:06:53,265 Speaker 2: a provocative approach to like professional wear, So she's kind 158 00:06:53,265 --> 00:06:55,945 Speaker 2: of looks professional but not really like maybe wouldn't wear 159 00:06:55,945 --> 00:06:58,465 Speaker 2: it to the office, but you are wearing out tonight, I. 160 00:06:58,545 --> 00:07:00,545 Speaker 1: Know what you mean.

Everyone's spawty and you know, off 214 00:09:14,825 --> 00:09:17,545 Speaker 2: the back of the Australian Open, it's all about tennis core. 215 00:09:17,625 --> 00:09:20,905 Speaker 2: We'll see whites, mini skirts, more sporty trends coming through. 216 00:09:21,025 --> 00:09:24,225 Speaker 2: The polo top i mentioned last episode will also come 217 00:09:24,265 --> 00:09:27,105 Speaker 2: through here. Maybe it's a full skirt worn with it, 218 00:09:27,225 --> 00:09:29,065 Speaker 2: or maybe it's a straight skirt. Maybe it's a white 219 00:09:29,145 --> 00:09:31,505 Speaker 2: leg pant, just kind of adding that sporty feel. 220 00:09:31,665 --> 00:09:33,785 Speaker 1: Okay, look, yeah, how do you do a bit of 221 00:09:33,825 --> 00:09:37,625 Speaker 1: stadium or sporty because for me, I'm not sporty and 222 00:09:37,665 --> 00:09:39,225 Speaker 1: so I'd probably want to mix it back with some 223 00:09:39,265 --> 00:09:41,385 Speaker 1: more classics. So is it just with jeans and that 224 00:09:41,465 --> 00:09:42,465 Speaker 1: type of top. 225 00:09:42,545 --> 00:09:44,345 Speaker 2: If you wanted to it with jeans, like maybe you 226 00:09:44,385 --> 00:09:47,985 Speaker 2: could do like look for like a sporty stripe polo top. 227 00:09:48,065 --> 00:09:50,785 Speaker 2: I think you could wear or would you do a 228 00:09:50,825 --> 00:09:52,385 Speaker 2: plat skirt or anything like that. 229 00:09:52,545 --> 00:09:58,345 Speaker 1: A long one note and I like it though. It's 230 00:09:58,345 --> 00:10:00,345 Speaker 1: just kind of a nod to that sort of preppy vibe. 231 00:10:00,425 --> 00:10:02,465 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you like a midi skirt, I do like 232 00:10:02,465 --> 00:10:04,905 Speaker 2: ad so you could do like the polo top with 233 00:10:04,945 --> 00:10:07,305 Speaker 2: a midi skirt. So maybe it's a stripe or a 234 00:10:07,345 --> 00:10:11,425 Speaker 2: plane polo top, button it up. The midi skirt would. 235 00:10:11,145 --> 00:10:15,425 Speaker 1: Be gene interesting. So I feel like twenty twenty four 236 00:10:15,505 --> 00:10:18,185 Speaker 1: animal print, leopard print, it was back with a vengeance. 237 00:10:18,505 --> 00:10:20,185 Speaker 1: What's happening with animal print? Is it here to stay? 238 00:10:20,185 --> 00:10:22,385 Speaker 1: Because I really like my leopard print wide leg jeans. 239 00:10:22,505 --> 00:10:24,825 Speaker 2: The good news is yes, staying for another year. So 240 00:10:24,865 --> 00:10:26,545 Speaker 2: we saw it in twenty twenty four. It was all 241 00:10:26,545 --> 00:10:29,225 Speaker 2: about mob wife, so it was like, you know, wearing 242 00:10:29,265 --> 00:10:31,745 Speaker 2: like the big glasses and the big kind of faux 243 00:10:31,785 --> 00:10:34,305 Speaker 2: for coats and things like that, the boots and everything. 244 00:10:34,545 --> 00:10:37,025 Speaker 2: Now we're just going animal print. It's just a neutral. 245 00:10:37,185 --> 00:10:39,785 Speaker 2: So let's call that the new neutral for this episode, 246 00:10:39,865 --> 00:10:43,825 Speaker 2: a new animal print. Yes, leopard print. So you could 247 00:10:43,865 --> 00:10:47,305 Speaker 2: get a skirt, just team it with something plain on top. 248 00:10:47,945 --> 00:10:50,425 Speaker 2: It could be you know swim as well. Oh yeah, 249 00:10:50,465 --> 00:10:51,625 Speaker 2: good one for swim. 250 00:10:51,825 --> 00:10:54,305 Speaker 1: Yes. So when you say neutral, you think of it 251 00:10:54,345 --> 00:10:56,625 Speaker 1: like a classic piece. So, like I said, my jeans 252 00:10:56,665 --> 00:10:59,265 Speaker 1: their leopard print for their gene. So I just wear 253 00:10:59,265 --> 00:11:03,185 Speaker 1: that with my white tea or something simple, and they 254 00:11:03,225 --> 00:11:04,945 Speaker 1: just replace my blue denim jeans. 255 00:11:04,985 --> 00:11:07,025 Speaker 2: Correct. So I call it a neutral if it's something 256 00:11:07,065 --> 00:11:08,745 Speaker 2: that can go back with quite a few things. So 257 00:11:08,785 --> 00:11:11,345 Speaker 2: a neutrals like it's like it goes back with black 258 00:11:11,425 --> 00:11:14,065 Speaker 2: or white, go with chan like anything. It's just like 259 00:11:14,105 --> 00:11:16,585 Speaker 2: a staple. Maybe it's not so much a neutral, but 260 00:11:16,705 --> 00:11:18,905 Speaker 2: it's a basic. It's a wardrobe staple. 261 00:11:19,065 --> 00:11:22,865 Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, let's make all laffered your wardrobe statefulk twenty 262 00:11:23,105 --> 00:11:27,225 Speaker 1: twenty I love that, Okay, now something that I'm very 263 00:11:27,225 --> 00:11:29,545 Speaker 1: happy to leave in twenty twenty four.

Romantic trend. Talk 301 00:12:56,465 --> 00:12:57,745 Speaker 1: to me about what that's all about. 302 00:12:57,865 --> 00:13:00,425 Speaker 2: I did mention last time, like the new bohemian this, 303 00:13:00,665 --> 00:13:03,185 Speaker 2: so I'm this is kind of an extension of that 304 00:13:03,345 --> 00:13:05,545 Speaker 2: romantic trend. So we're seeing it coming through. Like, so 305 00:13:05,625 --> 00:13:12,145 Speaker 2: that's the fabrication, so lace, applicate, ruffles, pastels, shoes, kind 306 00:13:12,145 --> 00:13:16,625 Speaker 2: of light florals, anything that's kind of feminine and really 307 00:13:16,705 --> 00:13:18,025 Speaker 2: romantic and beautiful. 308 00:13:18,185 --> 00:13:21,865 Speaker 1: Okay, I like that, and we're doing it head to toe. 309 00:13:22,345 --> 00:13:25,025 Speaker 1: Is it like dresses or just a top with a 310 00:13:25,065 --> 00:13:27,065 Speaker 1: pant or depends on how much you have. 311 00:13:27,625 --> 00:13:30,185 Speaker 2: If you're going romantic and girl, you have to like 312 00:13:30,265 --> 00:13:32,665 Speaker 2: see it through. So it is like whether it's the 313 00:13:32,825 --> 00:13:35,065 Speaker 2: dress or whether it's the top and skirt. The whole 314 00:13:35,105 --> 00:13:38,345 Speaker 2: outfit is romantic. You're not really clashing and mixing it 315 00:13:38,385 --> 00:13:40,385 Speaker 2: with anything else. You're just going full romance. 316 00:13:40,745 --> 00:13:44,745 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm into that. Another one I loved in twenty 317 00:13:44,825 --> 00:13:47,145 Speaker 1: twenty four, so I hope it stays. The barrel Jean. 318 00:13:47,425 --> 00:13:50,465 Speaker 1: I don't think there has been a style or cut 319 00:13:50,505 --> 00:13:53,585 Speaker 1: of pants that are more polarizing. I've got a few pairs, now, 320 00:13:53,745 --> 00:13:55,105 Speaker 1: you do. I love them. 321 00:13:55,465 --> 00:13:57,145 Speaker 2: They still don't have a pan o. 322 00:13:58,265 --> 00:14:00,065 Speaker 1: I think it's all about where and if anyone is 323 00:14:00,105 --> 00:14:02,665 Speaker 1: in across it. Barrel jeans, it's kind of like it's 324 00:14:02,705 --> 00:14:05,665 Speaker 1: fitted but then flares out at some point, oftentimes on 325 00:14:05,745 --> 00:14:07,945 Speaker 1: the thigh, which I think is not flattering. But if 326 00:14:07,945 --> 00:14:10,785 Speaker 1: it's a little bit further down, I love them. So 327 00:14:10,825 --> 00:14:11,825 Speaker 1: are they here to stay? 328 00:14:11,985 --> 00:14:15,665 Speaker 2: They are? Yea More and more denim brands are doing them. 329 00:14:15,705 --> 00:14:17,905 Speaker 2: So the barrel gene not even like a horseshoe show. 330 00:14:17,945 --> 00:14:21,705 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would describe it as curved like a horseshoe. Correct, 331 00:14:21,745 --> 00:14:24,625 Speaker 1: so barrel or even balloon. You'll find if you search 332 00:14:24,745 --> 00:14:26,985 Speaker 1: term it, this kind of star will come up. Yep, 333 00:14:27,305 --> 00:14:29,785 Speaker 1: And I find I've done them with flats. But I 334 00:14:29,825 --> 00:14:31,905 Speaker 1: do feel, particularly for my heart at least a little 335 00:14:31,945 --> 00:14:34,425 Speaker 1: kitten heel kind of makes this yellowette a little bit better. 336 00:14:34,625 --> 00:14:36,825 Speaker 2: I think the kit and hell and I think definitely 337 00:14:36,825 --> 00:14:38,505 Speaker 2: you have to go tighter on top. 338 00:14:38,425 --> 00:14:40,705 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because otherwise there's a lot of volume. 339 00:14:40,745 --> 00:14:42,545 Speaker 1: I tried it on with one of my oversized blazers 340 00:14:42,585 --> 00:14:44,265 Speaker 1: and it just looked like I was scouting at a fab, Like, 341 00:14:44,305 --> 00:14:47,105 Speaker 1: I'm so glad they're coming. They're like an emphasized mum Jean, 342 00:14:47,105 --> 00:14:47,745 Speaker 1: wouldn't you say? 343 00:14:47,825 --> 00:14:49,505 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the new take on a mum Jean 344 00:14:49,665 --> 00:14:50,065 Speaker 2: for sure. 345 00:14:50,265 --> 00:14:55,825 Speaker 1: That makes me so happy. Okay, peep toe heels? What's 346 00:14:55,905 --> 00:14:57,705 Speaker 1: this about? Like, I mean, I know what a classic 347 00:14:57,785 --> 00:14:59,865 Speaker 1: peeptoe is, but is it the rest of the shoes 348 00:14:59,905 --> 00:15:00,465 Speaker 1: quite covered? 349 00:15:00,785 --> 00:15:04,305 Speaker 2: Yes, so we saw them on the runway. So so far, 350 00:15:04,425 --> 00:15:06,785 Speaker 2: I haven't seen many come out yet, but they will, 351 00:15:06,825 --> 00:15:09,425 Speaker 2: definitely they will. I guess it's your big toe or 352 00:15:09,465 --> 00:15:11,545 Speaker 2: maybe your first two toes are just kind of peeping 353 00:15:11,585 --> 00:15:14,665 Speaker 2: out the front. It could be a mule style or 354 00:15:14,785 --> 00:15:17,425 Speaker 2: it could be Yeah, it could be a sling back 355 00:15:17,545 --> 00:15:20,145 Speaker 2: or even just like a pump. But it's definitely a heel, 356 00:15:20,305 --> 00:15:21,105 Speaker 2: peep toe heel. 357 00:15:21,385 --> 00:15:23,905 Speaker 1: I'm into that all right? Before we get into bougie 358 00:15:23,905 --> 00:15:26,105 Speaker 1: and budget. One more thing I want to ask you about. 359 00:15:26,905 --> 00:15:29,705 Speaker 1: I'm kind of seeing what we guess I would call 360 00:15:29,825 --> 00:15:33,585 Speaker 1: sort of utility style back or coming back or doing 361 00:15:33,625 --> 00:15:35,945 Speaker 1: the rounds. What's all that about? You know there was 362 00:15:35,945 --> 00:15:38,225 Speaker 1: cargo pants a bit last year. What's happening? 363 00:15:38,345 --> 00:15:40,065 Speaker 2: I like to think of it. It's probably the hardest 364 00:15:40,065 --> 00:15:42,145 Speaker 2: working thing in my wardrobe because it's something you can 365 00:15:42,185 --> 00:15:44,225 Speaker 2: just like wear over and over. So it's about the 366 00:15:44,265 --> 00:15:47,585 Speaker 2: big pockets. It's utility in the fabric. It's a little 367 00:15:47,625 --> 00:15:49,625 Speaker 2: bit heavier, so when you think of like, you know, 368 00:15:49,705 --> 00:15:52,665 Speaker 2: men's work where utility, but it's kind of got that 369 00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:54,745 Speaker 2: kind of feel to it. So it might be a 370 00:15:54,825 --> 00:15:57,305 Speaker 2: dress that's belted but it's got great pockets. 371 00:15:57,345 --> 00:16:00,385 Speaker 1: So it could also be like cargo skirt. Yes, it's 372 00:16:00,385 --> 00:16:04,505 Speaker 1: cargo camvasy worktop. Yeah, fabric, I can picture it, but 373 00:16:04,585 --> 00:16:08,185 Speaker 1: it's obviously designed you know, new, not covered in Greece 374 00:16:08,225 --> 00:16:08,905 Speaker 1: and for women. 375 00:16:09,345 --> 00:16:10,425 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it. 376 00:16:10,465 --> 00:16:12,665 Speaker 1: I love a pocket. Give me a big utility pocket 377 00:16:12,705 --> 00:16:15,345 Speaker 1: anywhere functional or non usually. 378 00:16:15,105 --> 00:16:17,305 Speaker 2: Has would have two. So I have either two up 379 00:16:17,305 --> 00:16:19,985 Speaker 2: the top or two on the skirts, and even like 380 00:16:20,065 --> 00:16:22,625 Speaker 2: maybe four might have some with its pair of pants. 381 00:16:22,345 --> 00:16:24,305 Speaker 1: Like, wow, two sets of pockets, and I feel like 382 00:16:24,305 --> 00:16:26,225 Speaker 1: I've seen sort of belts and stuff, which again plays 383 00:16:26,225 --> 00:16:28,345 Speaker 1: into the utility kind of vibe. Yes. 384 00:16:28,865 --> 00:16:31,425 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it just like cinches everything in love. It 385 00:16:31,465 --> 00:16:34,825 Speaker 2: colors in that a boxy shape. Yeah. Neutrals, definitely, neutrals 386 00:16:34,865 --> 00:16:35,305 Speaker 2: or denim. 387 00:16:35,385 --> 00:16:38,385 Speaker 1: Okay, your khakis, your tankys. 388 00:16:38,025 --> 00:16:54,145 Speaker 2: Camels, even black or denim. It's very expensive. How old 389 00:16:54,225 --> 00:16:54,825 Speaker 2: are these. 390 00:16:57,745 --> 00:16:59,945 Speaker 1: Nicole lets? Do? Boogie and budget? I'm going to do 391 00:17:00,025 --> 00:17:03,665 Speaker 1: trenches because longtime listeners know that I am a trench. 392 00:17:03,865 --> 00:17:05,825 Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to buy any new ones for a 393 00:17:05,825 --> 00:17:07,985 Speaker 1: little while because I have so many. And you're going 394 00:17:08,065 --> 00:17:10,625 Speaker 1: to bring some asymmetrical pizzas. All right, let's start with 395 00:17:10,625 --> 00:17:11,225 Speaker 1: your budget. 396 00:17:11,385 --> 00:17:14,025 Speaker 2: Okay, So budget, I'm going to choose a one shoulder 397 00:17:14,065 --> 00:17:16,265 Speaker 2: So I'm going for black. It's from atmoss in here 398 00:17:16,305 --> 00:17:19,225 Speaker 2: and it's twenty nine ninety nine, so it's just a 399 00:17:19,305 --> 00:17:22,705 Speaker 2: classic kind of one shoulder top. It's a tank top style, 400 00:17:23,025 --> 00:17:25,145 Speaker 2: which I think would be great for when I'm wearing 401 00:17:25,225 --> 00:17:28,065 Speaker 2: like you know, my handkerchief skirts and my bubble hems 402 00:17:28,145 --> 00:17:30,865 Speaker 2: and my barrel jeans. I need something tight up. 403 00:17:30,865 --> 00:17:33,265 Speaker 1: Oh, that'd be great with a barrel jean. Yeah, I'm 404 00:17:33,305 --> 00:17:36,025 Speaker 1: into that, okay. And what color? Black? Black? Okay? I 405 00:17:36,145 --> 00:17:39,865 Speaker 1: like that. Well. My first trench, my budget trench, is 406 00:17:39,905 --> 00:17:42,465 Speaker 1: from Zara. They do such a good trench. It's the 407 00:17:42,505 --> 00:17:45,305 Speaker 1: classic trench coat with belt. One hundred and eighty five dollars. 408 00:17:45,585 --> 00:17:47,705 Speaker 1: I swear Zara. It does like twenty different styles of 409 00:17:47,745 --> 00:17:50,265 Speaker 1: trenches each year, but this is a very classic, that 410 00:17:50,425 --> 00:17:55,625 Speaker 1: sort of beigy color, the lapels, that just very very 411 00:17:55,665 --> 00:17:58,785 Speaker 1: classic trench style. A little bit longer than what you'd imagine, 412 00:17:58,785 --> 00:18:00,225 Speaker 1: I guess the Berberry want to be. I like it 413 00:18:00,465 --> 00:18:03,065 Speaker 1: a bit longer, do you. I don't like it too short. 414 00:18:03,305 --> 00:18:04,985 Speaker 2: I think it's good because it just it's got that 415 00:18:05,105 --> 00:18:06,745 Speaker 2: nice silhouette when it's longer. 416 00:18:06,905 --> 00:18:10,625 Speaker 1: Agreed, all right, what's your bouge asymmetric? 417 00:18:10,825 --> 00:18:13,665 Speaker 2: Akay, my bougie.

It's black 419 00:18:16,545 --> 00:18:18,145 Speaker 2: against I'm going classic dollars. 420 00:18:18,305 --> 00:18:19,345 Speaker 1: Is good for Camilla and Mark. 421 00:18:19,465 --> 00:18:23,145 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, asymmetric at the neckline, but it's got long 422 00:18:23,185 --> 00:18:26,505 Speaker 2: fluted sleeves and it's cinched in the waist. But it 423 00:18:26,665 --> 00:18:27,825 Speaker 2: is a mini skirt. 424 00:18:28,025 --> 00:18:31,465 Speaker 1: Okay, Evening I would say during the day, you would 425 00:18:31,745 --> 00:18:34,385 Speaker 1: I could probably wear that to work. Okay, I've got 426 00:18:34,385 --> 00:18:35,825 Speaker 1: a different job to most people. 427 00:18:35,825 --> 00:18:38,265 Speaker 2: I could wear that to work with a flat because 428 00:18:38,305 --> 00:18:40,345 Speaker 2: it's only really showing skin here. I mean, I guess 429 00:18:40,385 --> 00:18:42,545 Speaker 2: it's showing my legs. But I'm quite short, so okay, 430 00:18:42,625 --> 00:18:44,825 Speaker 2: yeah with a flat, yeah, so it doesn't feel like 431 00:18:44,945 --> 00:18:48,505 Speaker 2: I'm showing too much skin because I am not that tall. Okay, 432 00:18:48,625 --> 00:18:50,905 Speaker 2: i'd wear at a night with a heel on. I 433 00:18:50,905 --> 00:18:51,945 Speaker 2: guess a cotton blend. 434 00:18:52,065 --> 00:18:55,385 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay, so pretty classic. Yeah, well, surprise, surprise, 435 00:18:55,505 --> 00:18:57,705 Speaker 1: My boogie is also Camilla re Mark. Because who do 436 00:18:57,785 --> 00:19:00,065 Speaker 1: you think of when you think of fancy trench coats. Yep, 437 00:19:00,145 --> 00:19:03,185 Speaker 1: Camilla and Mark. It's the Evans classic knee length trench. 438 00:19:04,025 --> 00:19:06,065 Speaker 1: When you close your eyes and picture a classic trench coat, 439 00:19:06,105 --> 00:19:08,745 Speaker 1: it's this. The model's quite tall, so it falls just 440 00:19:09,025 --> 00:19:11,625 Speaker 1: below her knees. For me, that would be midcalf because 441 00:19:11,625 --> 00:19:14,825 Speaker 1: I'm not particularly tall as well. Eight hundred and fifty dollars. 442 00:19:15,545 --> 00:19:17,465 Speaker 1: If you ever do invest in a Camilla and mart 443 00:19:17,465 --> 00:19:20,065 Speaker 1: trench coat, you're gonna have it forever. I've got a 444 00:19:20,105 --> 00:19:22,065 Speaker 1: gray one that I got at one of their sample sales. 445 00:19:22,065 --> 00:19:24,305 Speaker 1: That looks brand new and I've thrashed it so I 446 00:19:24,345 --> 00:19:26,905 Speaker 1: love it. So that's on my wish list. But do 447 00:19:26,945 --> 00:19:27,905 Speaker 1: I need another trench? 448 00:19:28,185 --> 00:19:31,625 Speaker 2: You always do. I'm not gonna say no.
