Let's Get Dressed

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

Summer dressing should be the easiest season, fewer layers, less to think about, but somehow it's the one that trips us up the most. I get more questions about summer style than any other time of year so consider this your Summer style toolkit.

I'm answering the questions you've been sending in nonstop: the perfect sandal, how to elevate jean shorts, what to wear when it's a million degrees outside but freezing in your office, and the colors and shoes defining this summer.

Every summer, there's that one defining piece -- the Havaianas, the jelly sandals, the Miu Miu cowboy hat. But this year? It's quiet. Search "summer trends 2026" and the only thing coming up is the color blue. So I brought Gab Waller back for our annual Summer trends episode. Gab is one of the most in-demand personal shoppers in fashion. She shares what her clients are buying, what's selling out, and what's all over our feeds that no one is actually requesting.

Consider this your real-time summer 2026 trend report, straight from the woman sourcing it all.

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

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
