In this episode, we explore how geography is reshaping personal style in 2026 and what that shift might mean for the future of trends themselves.

We’re talking about how place, energy levels, and collective exhaustion are reshaping personal style right now. From New York’s edited minimalism to LA’s expressive messiness, we look at how a locale influences not just what we wear, but how we want to be seen …or not seen at all.

This conversation covers style resolutions, the rise of low-energy dressing in January, repeating outfits without apology, and the growing sense that trends no longer hold the authority they once did.

We also dive into the surprising cultural power of the tote bag, from Trader Joe’s to museum merch, as a symbol of belonging, locality, and anti-status status in an algorithm-flattened fashion landscape.

If fashion has started to feel less aspirational and more personal, this episode asks whether we’re witnessing the evolution of trends – or their quiet undoing.

Emily's in Rome with a new bob and bolder style. We unpack Season 5 of Emily in Paris: why costume designer Marylin Fitoussi's maximalism resonates despite the criticism and what Emily's fashion fantasy really represents.

Then: New Year's Eve traditions around the world. Red underwear in Italy, white in Brazil, polka dots in the Philippines. Why does what we wear at midnight matter so much?

Finally: 2025 in review. Labubu charms on luxury bags, the great creative director reshuffle (Blazy at Chanel! Anderson at Dior!), denim wars, and fashion's year of beautiful contradictions.

Life is too short to wear boring clothes - or have boring conversations about them.

’Tis the season for big campaigns, bold sweaters, and knitwear diplomacy. In this Style Signals holiday special, we cut through the festive fashion fog to highlight the subtle style signals shaping the season from nostalgia to cozy-core. Plus the luxe tier: Burberry’s joyfully chic heritage, Dior’s cinematic fantasy, and Tiffany’s perfectly engineered giftability.

We also dive into how AI is quietly rewriting gift shopping in 2025 promising smarter picks, less overwhelm, and demanding a new etiquette around letting algorithms curate your emotional labor. And yes, we get into the cultural renaissance of the Ugly Christmas Sweater (now fully post-ironic) as well as the rise of matching PJ pageantry.

And because it’s not December without a little screen-induced escapism, we break down the holiday film style effect—why the soft-lit, scarf-swept, Nancy-Meyers-adjacent aesthetic still shapes how we dress, shop, and imagine our own festive main-character moments in films including Champagne Problems and The Holiday.
