FALL JACKET TRENDS FOR 2025 EP| 270 19:20

for 14 dage siden19:20

19:20

🎙️ Hosted by Holly Katz — Your Favorite Personal Stylist and the Best Friend You Never Knew You Needed 🧥 It's Jacket Season, Fashion Besties! Fall has finally arrived — and you know what that means: jacket weather! This week, Holly is coming in hot with the Fall Jacket Trends for 2025, breaking down the must-have outerwear styles that will keep you cozy and chic all season long. Whether you're cleaning out your coat closet or shopping for something fresh, this episode is your guide to building a smart, stylish fall outerwear lineup. From classic trenches to modern oversized blazers, vegan leather moto jackets, and Western-inspired looks, Holly covers the top styles you'll see everywhere this season — plus which ones are worth investing in (and which ones you can finally let go). 🔥 HOT TIP: Be sure to see all the styles mentioned in this episode on our YouTube video . And, see more at Holly's curated Pinterest Board for this week's episode. 💼 Top Fall Jacket Trends 2025 1. Oversized Blazers The power blazer is back — bigger and better than ever. Oversized, structured blazers offer both polish and comfort, giving you that "I just threw this on and look amazing" vibe. Holly highlights the Lizzie Tab Sleeve Blazer as a wardrobe MVP: wear it fitted or oversized, with jeans or joggers, or over a dress. This is the transitional layering piece that never goes out of style. 🖤 Shop Holly's Pick: Lizzie Tab Sleeve Blazer – Black 2. The Trench Coat (and the Cropped Trench!) You can't talk about outerwear without paying homage to the trench coat. Holly takes us on a quick fashion history tour — from its military roots in the 1850s to its Hollywood glamour moments with Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren. The cropped trench is Fall 2025's twist on this timeless piece — lightweight, modern, and perfect for those unpredictable "is it cold or not?" days. Ideal for windy afternoons, light rain, or layering over knits without adding bulk. 🩶 Shop Holly's Pick: Cropped Trench Coat 3. Quilted Coats Think of it as a literal quilt made into a jacket? Um, yes. Or, a jacket with a diamond stitched pattern which adds a cozy texture and visual interest to your outfit. #YYASSS Holly loves this nod to vintage style and points to the sustainable designs she spotted at Round Top, Texas, where artisans upcycle blankets into wearable art. ✨ Styling Tip: Pair a quilted jacket with denim and a simple tee for effortless weekend chic. 4. Vegan Leather Jackets A continuing favorite — and for good reason. Holly's liquid leather moto jackets are bestsellers for a reason: they're soft, sleek, and incredibly versatile. These jackets give you all the edge of leather without the heaviness (or the guilt). Whether you're styling jeans, joggers, or a midi dress, vegan leather adds instant cool. 🤎 Shop Holly's Pick: Liquid Leather Moto Jacket – Brown or Black 5. The Toile Print Car Coat Fall 2025's statement jacket? The Black & White French Toile Print Car Coat. Elegant yet practical, this coat takes you from day to night — from errands to evening events — without missing a beat. Dress it down with denim or up with an LBD. The timeless pattern adds just the right amount of personality while staying totally classic. 🖤 Shop Holly's Pick: Black & White Toile Print Car Coat 6. Western-Inspired Jackets Yee-haw, but make it modern. The Western flair hasn't gone anywhere — suede, fringe, embroidered denim, and even crystal-embellished pieces on top and bottom are a must-have! These pieces are chic showstoppers and will be something your people will wonder where you will be going "all dressed up". 🤠 Styling Tip: Balance the boldness — Let the embellished or leather piece be the star. The rest of the outfit are the supporting actors. 🛍️ Shop Holly's Curated Favorites Every piece Holly mentions in this episode is available now (and selling fast!) at👉 www.wearthisnotthat.shop Featured in this episode: Lizzie Tab Sleeve Blazer – Black Cropped Trench Coat Liquid Leather Moto Jacket – Brown & Black Black and White Toile Print Car Coat Estelle Everyday Denim – the perfect jean to pair with any fall jacket! 💬 Fashion Law of the Week "When you have the correct fitting clothes, you won't feel like you need to lose weight." Let's stitch that on a pillow and put this on a t-shirt, besties. You deserve to feel amazing in your clothes right now — not after you lose five pounds, not next season. Confidence starts with fit and comfort. Period. 💕 Holly's Encouragement for Fall Fall is the perfect time to refresh, reevaluate, and reinvent. So grab your pumpkin spice latte and head to that coat closet — rediscover what you already love, let go of what no longer fits your style, and make room for the new pieces that make you feel fabulous. Because when you feel good in what you wear, everything else just falls into place. You have the right to look and feel fabulous every single day — and Holly's here to help you do just that. 🎧 Listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts — always ad-free and subscription-free! 📺 Watch the full video version on YouTube . 🛍️ Shop curated pieces at WearThisNotThat.shop 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @wearthisnot_that Hosted by Holly Katz – The Best Fashion Friend You Never Knew You Needed 💖…

Designer Spotlight – Bree McKeen of Evelyn & Bobbie | EP 270 42:33

for 21 dage siden42:33

42:33

This week, Holly sits down with the brilliant Bree McKeen, founder and CEO of Evelyn & Bobbie — the revolutionary lingerie brand changing how women think about bras. Bree's mission is simple yet radical: confidence starts with comfort. Her company has re- engineered the bra from the inside out—no wires, no digging, no compromises. 🔥 HOT TIP: Make sssuuurrreee you are watching the video interview with real product demos on our YouTube Channel. Please consider subscribing if you haven't so far, so you can get all of this free fashion content delivered straight to you. After years of discomfort and frustration with traditional underwire bras, Bree set out to design something entirely new. With her background in finance and innovation in Silicon Valley, and a deep understanding of design thinking from her time at Stanford, she developed patented EBCore™ technology, a 3D support sling that replaces the wire entirely. The result? Bras that lift, separate, and smooth—without pain. "It turns out your body is perfect. It's bras that have been getting it wrong." — Bree McKeen The Aha Moment: Why Evelyn & Bobbie Was Born Bree's "aha" moment came after years of struggling with ill-fitting, uncomfortable bras that failed to deliver both comfort and shape. She realized women deserved more — bras that felt as good as they looked . Armed with curiosity, creativity, and a design-thinking mindset, she went from a finance professional to a lingerie innovator, developing prototypes with her dad in their garage before moving to Portland — home to performance apparel giants like Nike and Adidas — to access cutting-edge materials and production methods. Her company is named after her grandmother Evelyn, and great-aunt Bobbie, two women who inspired her to blend grace, strength, and ingenuity into everything she creates. What Makes Evelyn & Bobbie Different Evelyn & Bobbie isn't just another lingerie line. Bree has created a modern replacement for the 1931 underwire—a patented sling system that supports from below, adapts to every curve, and delivers real lift and separation. Key Innovations : EB Core™ Support Sling – Replaces underwire with a bonded, 3D support structure. Adaptive Fit System – Seven easy sizes that fit over 120 body shapes, adjusting to asymmetry and natural movement. Smoothing Construction – Seamless bonding eliminates bulges and lines under clothing. Inclusive Sizing – From 28B to 52K, every woman can find her perfect fit. And yes — they're gorgeous. Bree's mission is to make women feel beautiful from every angle, with bras that are as supportive as they are empowering. The Bras and Undergarments You Need to Know Throughout the episode, Holly and Bree discuss the Evelyn & Bobbie bestsellers and what makes them truly transformative: The Defy Bra & Tank – A wireless, smoothing, all-day support hero that feels like a second skin. The Beyond Bra – A seamless, wire-free bra with full support and elegant lift. The Retro Bikini – The brand's bestselling brief, designed with invisible seams, four-way stretch, and breathable cotton gusset. The Slip Short – The secret to smoothing under dresses without chafing or bulk. The Defy Tank – Holly's personal favorite, featuring a built-in bra that shapes and lifts under everything from blazers to errands-ready looks. Each piece is designed to move with you, not against you — and to make getting dressed an act of confidence, not compromise. What's Next for Evelyn & Bobbie Bree offers a sneak peek into what's ahead: A sports bra designed for high-performance support. A "Busty" line for small-band, full-cup fits (coming next year). Future swimwear featuring EB Core™ technology for comfort, support, and sleek design — without the bulk. A maternity collection for modern mothers who deserve both style and functionality. Evelyn & Bobbie's design philosophy is "fewer, better things" — investing in long-lasting, perfected styles rather than chasing trends. With more than 270 fit models and obsessive attention to detail, Bree and her team refuse to release anything until it's flawless. Holly's Takeaway As Holly shares, the right bra is foundational to how we look and feel. Fashion and confidence start underneath — and when you invest in great fit, you invest in yourself. Evelyn & Bobbie make that easy with thoughtful design, real innovation, and products that deliver what women have been waiting for: comfort, lift, and beauty in one perfect package. Thank You, Bree!

What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✔️ The Most Flattering Denim Ever Della Denim Trouser – Available now at www.wearthisnotthat.shop This jean is a game-changer: a slight flare at the hem for length, a subtle built-in control panel at the waist, and back welt pockets that lift and flatter your shape. These jeans fit clients from size 0 to 16, and they look amazing on everyone, believe it or not. The 28" inseam works for petites and the 33" inseam is perfect for the taller beauties. ✔️ High-Waisted Jeans Pep Talk If you're straight up-and-down or "square" in the middle, high-rise denim creates curves where there are none and defines your waistline. #YYYAAASSS Don't fear the waist—embrace it! Just when you think you don't need to accentuate your waist, you do. ✔️ Dresses That Save the Day A-line and midi dresses that skim, not cling, are your secret weapon. And guess what? A new Denim Midi Dress is coming soon to wearthisnothat.shop —perfect with cowboy boots or sneakers for fall! Loving this journey for you. ✔️ Stop Hiding Those Arms! Skip the sleeves and try a sleeveless blouse or tank that hits right at the shoulder line. It draws the eye up to give you a longer, leaner look. No more arm-shaming...it's so freeing to unchain yourself from thinking you cannot show your arms. Yes. You. Can. ✔️ Embrace Color & Prints Prints can balance proportions: tops with patterns minimize a fuller bust; patterned skirts can create curves. Back awwwaayy from the black.—step out with confidence in color. Color and pattern are unexpected and breathe life into any look. Shop the Episode – Featured WTNT Pieces ✨ Della Denim Trouser – Flattering for everybody, so easy to dress up or down. ✨ Della Denim Blazer – Bracelet-length sleeves, structured shoulders, and a tailored waist that makes it the most comfortable blazer you'll ever own. Pair with the denim trousers, a maxi skirt, bremuda shorts, or over a dress. ✨ Art Ibiza Blouse – A V-neck blouse with subtle draping and a chic silhouette that's effortless with the mallorca wide-leg silky pants or jeans. ✨ Off-the-Shoulder Drape Neck Top – Elegant and confidence-boosting, perfect for showing off shoulders and collarbones. ✨ Liquid Leather Moto Jacket (now in brown!) – Chic and edgy layering piece that instantly adds polish and structure to any outfit.

Summer Dresses You'll Love EP | 259 23:56

Summer style isn't over yet, fashion besties! In this week's episode of Wear This Not That, Holly dives headfirst into the dresses of the season—because August may be here, but the summer heat (and summer fashion!) is still going strong. HOT TIP: Listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts, AND watch us on YouTube ! And, check out Holly's Pinterest Board this week – see more Summer Dresses than you can wear in one summer! Whether you're running errands, planning a last-minute getaway, or just want to look fab while grabbing groceries, you'll be covered with dresses that are elegant, flattering, and will be the basis of your summer wardrobe from here on out. From maxi and midi lengths, night dresses, florals, and top colors of the season, let's make sure you've got the styles that will turn heads, in addition to transitioning you seamlessly into early fall. That's smart shopping. HOLLY'S SUMMER DRESS PICKS: (And yes, she's done the styling for you. You're welcome.) The Midi Dress: Style experts and trend setters alike are loving the poplin midi dress this summer. Great for day or night, with a sneaker or a heel, it's chicest one-and-done piece. Look for smocked tops and full skirts to flatter your shape and add movement. The Night Dress Trend: No, you're not headed to bed—but it might look like it. Think ruffle collars, floaty fabrics, and a hipster-chic twist. British brand If Only If leads the trend, and yes, it can be styled for the street with sandals and a cardi. Brands to Shop Now: • Ciao Lucia : Smocked-top, spaghetti strap day dresses from LA—feminine, flowy, and just different enough to stand out. • STAUD: We are loving the Delfina silk dress —lace panel, spaghetti straps, and simplicity of this. Belt it and add a jacket for extra credit. • Rebecca Taylor: She's back with a vengeance. Don't sleep on the Priya poplin shirt dress! • Proenza Schouler White Label : Check out the sleeveless A-line in vibrant cyan. Great fit and a timeless statement. • Ulla Johnson : Known for her bold prints and flattering silhouettes. Inclusive sizing up to 16, and accessories worth your full attention. • Reformation: The Bryson and Maven dresses are both structured and feminine, with gorgeous necklines and shoulder detail that elevate your entire look to make you look long and lean. From the Wear This Not That Online Shop : • The Odessa Dress : A toile-printed dream. Deep V, easy fit, non-clingy, and flattering for all body types. Perfect with sneakers or a heel. • The Caftan Dress (available in Concrete Jungle and Zebra Print ): Statement sleeve, bold prints, and an optional belt for a cinched look. One sold out already—so move fast! Fit Tips From Holly: • Bigger bust? Try a halter, boat neck, or off-the-shoulder to draw attention upward. • Small on top? Go for a strapless or one-shoulder dress to balance proportions. • Want to emphasize your waist? Look for A-line cuts or use belts strategically. • Skip the slip dress unless you're totally straight-bodied—it could cling in all the wrong places if you're not careful. Why Wear This Not? Think of us as the stylist in your back pocket. Every piece Holly recommends (or sells!) is seasonless, ageless, and will put an end to the 'what to wear' epidemic. We take the guesswork out of getting dressed. These are pieces no one else will have. It's curated style that fits your life—and your closet. Holly hand-picks every item for the Wear This Not That online boutique , so you know it's fabulous, functional, and fashion-forward. Shopping has never been easier—or more stylish.

Style Inspo For a Post-Career Lifestyle EP | 254 24:06

24:06

In this week's episode, Holly is diving headfirst into the stylish side of what she calls your "Post-Career Lifestyle" - because who really wants to use the word retirement, anyway? Whether you're downsizing your work hours or declaring a permanent vacation, your wardrobe deserves a glow-up just as much as your mindset. Holly's giving you permission (and the blueprint) to evolve your style, refresh your closet, and dress intentionally for this exciting new chapter of life. If you've ever stared into your closet wondering how to dress for days without board meetings, packed schedules, or uncomfortable office wear, this episode is your stylish lifeline. Head on over to your Pinterest board to see all of the examples discussed! Key Style Areas Covered in This Episode: Shoes: Comfortable AND Cool Shoes that DON'T kill your feet don't mean boring. From New Balance 327s to Superga classics and Vejas, we discuss favorite "lifestyle sneakers" that go with everything—from jeans to dresses. Need a comfy yet chic sandal? Listen or head on over to our YouTube channel to watch, listen, and learn. Pants: Fit, Fabric & Flattering Cuts Terrible polyester, pants that are too short, or stores that skew to "mature" customers are things to steer clear of. Structured fabrics, proper pant lengths (above the ankle, please!), and the magic of a good tailor are things that are a non-negosh. She gives a big shoutout to *linen blends* for summer style—breathable but not wrinkle-prone—and urges everyone to ditch the iron and invest in a steamer! Tees & Blouses: Quality Over Quantity T-shirts aren't just for lounging. A flattering tee is also a must—think fitted, vibrant, and logo-free—and why your souvenir shirts from that trip to Aruba should probably stay home. For blouses, try different sleeve styles and colors, and avoid overly flowy tops that can actually add bulk. Just say "no" to schmata tops. Dresses & Skirts: Casual, Chic & Ageless From sporty polo dresses at Lacoste to stylish skirts and shorts, make sure you listen to the full episode for options that are comfy, casual, and stylish at any age. There's even genius layering tips—like wearing a tee under a strapless dress—and how to style a maxi skirt with sneakers for instant fashion cred. ️ Closet Purge Tips Let go of what no longer serves you and make space for clothes that support your best self. Your Style, Your Rules—but let's make it work for who you are TODAY. As you step into this new chapter of life, you deserve a wardrobe that celebrates where you are—and where you're headed.

Listen and share, like, now—because everyone is waiting to shower you with compliments! Date Night Style Guide with Holly 1. Date Night Dresses • Opt for nighttime fabrics like silk or satin—save cotton minis for brunch. • Think strapless or halter styles, especially in luxe fabrics. • Pro Tip: If you can wear it with sneakers, it's probably not right for night. #lovethis • Styling Tips: o Add a wide belt or cowboy boots to change the vibe or make it more casual o Toss a sweater over your shoulders if you're not loving your arms—it brings focus to your face. #whoknew 2. The Jumpsuit • Sleek, tailored, and perfect for evenings out. • Search for silky or structured fabrics for added glam. • Accessorize to elevate the look with great shoes and a statement bag. • Reminder: Jumpsuits = pants. Rompers = shorts. 3. Matching Sets / Co-Ord Sets • Top and pants, top and skirt, or shorts in the same fabric/print. • Great for an easy yet elevated look. • Pajama-style sets are in—but must be dressed up and accessorized! 4. Outfit Enhancers: Individual Pieces to Build Around • Lightweight summer sweaters: Wear alone or with statement jewelry. • Maxi skirts: Universally flattering—just get the length right. • Summer blazers + shorts: Try silky shorts ( like Amiri ) with a well-fitted blazer and heels. • Nautical jewelry: Shells, starfish, sand dollars—yes, they're back! Dress Like the Power Couple You Are: BECAUSE YOU ARE Tough Love PSA: If your partner doesn't match your style game, let's level them up. Ya'll gotta match.

How to Mix High and Low End Pieces | EP 245 24:20

for 28 weeks siden24:20

24:20

Hello, fabulous fashion friends! Happy FRI-YAYYYYYY!! Welcome back to the Fashion Crimes Podcast , your weekly dose of style, inspiration, and all things fashion. Featuring your favorite personal stylist and the hostess with the mostest, Holly Katz, we are here to show you how to look chic without breaking the bank. Wanna see us in the flesh? Check out our YouTube channel for the video of this episode! This week, we're diving into a super fun topic – How to Mix High and Low End Pieces like a pro! We are about to give you all the secrets on how to elevate your wardrobe with a perfect blend of luxury AND affordable items. Trust us, by the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to rock designer accessories with budget-friendly staples. So grab your favorite earphones, turn up the volume, and let's gooooooo! Outline of Key Topics Discussed: 1. Why Mixing High and Low Works o Create a balanced, effortlessly chic look that reflects your unique style. o Moderation is key. You don't need to wear all high-end or all low-end pieces. o The magic of blending designer pieces with more affordable finds to achieve that high-low vibe. 2. Identifying High-End vs. Low-End Pieces o High-end items: Designer accessories (bags, shoes, jewelry) and classic investment pieces. o Low-end items: Budget-friendly but stylish basics like tees, denim, and everyday items that don't need to break the bank. 3. High-End Accessories: The Key to Elevating Any Outfit o By spending your hard-earned dollars on high-end designer accessories, these are the staples that support and elevate any outfit. o Designer pieces should be used to create a polished, sophisticated look that will "level up" your lower-end pieces. o Example: Pair a $5 vintage baseball hat with a designer handbag and shoes for the ultimate high-low combo. 4 . Low-End Staples: The Foundation of a Flexible Wardrobe o Find affordable yet stylish options like Levi's jeans, vintage tees, or a well-cut jacket that won't drain your wallet. o HOT TIP! Mixing costume with your real jewelry makes all of your jewelry look more refined. o Example: A vintage rock tee layered with a blazer, paired with designer shoes with an affordable statement earring: priceless! 5. Where to Shop for the Best High-Low Mix o Check out designer second-hand marketplaces like The RealReal or local consignment shops in your area for amazing finds. o Vintage stores and online sites like ThredUp can carry high-quality, less expensive options. o Shop strategically for sales or shop off-season to make sure you're investing in pieces that will last. 6. When to Splurge o Invest in timeless pieces that hold their value over time, like a designer handbag or quality jackets and scarves. o Always shop with fit and quality in mind—don't just buy for the label. o Think about longevity and versatility when selecting high-end pieces to mix into your wardrobe. Final Words: Mixing high and low-end pieces is not only fun, but it's a savvy way to build a wardrobe that looks unexpected, sophisticated, and totally unique. Remember, fashion is about creating a look that feels true to YOU—whether it's from a luxury designer or a thrift store gem, mix it up and make it yours. And as always, we are here to help guide you through the process. You can give this a try, no matter your budget or current style.

How to Up Your Eyeglass Frame Game | EP 244 23:41

for 29 weeks siden23:41

23:41

Fashion Besties happyyyy Friii-yayyy! This week on the Fashion Crimes Podcast , we're diving into the world of eyeglass frames—something many of us overlook, but can dramatically make or break our style. Tune in to hear how the right pair of glasses (and sunglasses!) can become your new secret style weapon! Catch this podcast episode wherever you get your podcasts – or watch right now on YouTube ! This episode is packed with expert tips to elevate your eyewear game. From choosing the right shape to upgrading those tired frames, you or someone you know will benefit from an eyeglass frame makeover. #trustme Holly's Tips for Upgrading Your Eyeglass Frames: 1. Have a Variety of Frames: Owning at least three pairs of glasses with updated prescriptions will give you plenty of options to change up your look. These should include one classic or neutral style (think clear or wire frames), one bold and fun option, and one edgier style frame. Changing up your frames guarantees an instant style upgrade. 2. Switch Up Your Styles Regularly: If you've been wearing the same frames for years, you might be stuck in a style rut. Try different shapes, colors, and materials—get adventurous with geometric shapes or even a funky cat-eye. Trying them on in person is a must. You will have more options and it will help you decide what complements your skin and hair best. 3. Eyeglasses as Part of Your Wardrobe : Your frames are a key accessory to your outfit, just like shoes or a handbag. Don't let them become an afterthought—choose frames that work with your overall style and personality. Want to see these frame suggestions in action? Head over to your Pinterest board , where we've curated some of our fave frame styles for every personality and look. Hot TIP! Don't forget, if you're ready to level up your style, watch the full episode on our YouTube channel for a closer look at the frames discussed. You won't want to miss this!
