What People are Wearing in NYC Right Now

0:00This is our version of back to school.

0:01Linoy Friedman: I know, literally. Back to school is not just for the kids, right? No, no, no. Like, I want to go to Staples too, which is Fashion Week. Hi, Linoy. Hi, Liv. Your account is one of my favorites. What people are wearing. This episode today is going to be an audible people-watching walk. I feel like you are the perfect person to be our eyes and ears on the ground of all the amazing fashion happening in New York right now. One of the biggest trends I spotted, which is quite funny to call it a trend because it's so basic, is tying a sweater around the waist. Also, I really like that you said the sweater around the waist because I feel like I saw that all summer as well.

0:37Linoy Friedman: I've seen so many women wearing like just a full-on red outfit. I've seen some really cool 3D elements in like pants or like tops. It's not just fabric. It's like a pom-pom or like a fringe or like a 3D flower. I'm never like the biggest fan of trends, but do you know when I really love them? I love them when they're a styling trick. Speaking of styling hacks as trends, I think it's one of the most iconic moments I ever spotted on what people are wearing. Everywhere I went, the glasses are getting bigger and bigger. I'm not seeing any eyebrows. The streets are diva-ing out. I can see their personality and I can see who they are by what they put on their bodies.

1:17I was like, every single fashion rule we've ever been taught went out the window.

1:23Linoy Friedman: Rules were meant to be broken. Welcome back to Let's Get Dressed.

2:00Linoy Friedman: That's the best part about Fashion Week. We just get to see each other all the time. It feels like a little, our own back to school. I know, literally. Back to school is not just for the kids, okay? No, no, no. Like, I want to go to Staples too, which is Fashion Week. That was literally my favorite thing in the world. It was weirdly mine too. And I need somebody to do an analysis over what kind of people we are, like the people who loved back to school shopping. No, I remember butterflies. Me too. Me, my sisters and I, like, we go on and on about it. Like, we just loved it. Like, I loved getting the color dividers and the pen box.

2:36Linoy Friedman: We went to the Rite Aid on Sunset. Yep, the Rite Aid on Sunset. And they had the whole section of all the back to school stuff. The best. Yes. Well, this is our version and back to school. It's been such a fun week. I've loved seeing you. Me too. And I'm so excited to have you on today because I feel like you are the perfect person to be our eyes and ears on the ground of all the amazing fashion happening in New York right now. Your account is one of my favorites. Oh my God. Thank you so much. What people are wearing. Thank you. And I, one, feel like you were at every show. So I can't wait to hear your thoughts on things.

3:09But again, too, you have a very trained eye to see what people are wearing in New York City. So I can't wait to hear

3:14Linoy Friedman: all of what's trending and happening right now. I'm excited to share. I know. And in case you guys missed it, Linoya and I did a video on her account, what people are wearing. I know. So go check it out. We did like an on the ground in real time video of some amazing outfits that we saw in New York City. It was very fun to do that with you. So fun. We call it a people watching walk and we did it together. You were my first guest. So I'm honored to have you as my first guest. So if you guys want a little bit of a visual, head over to both of our Instagrams to check it out. Yes, it's fun. It was really fun.

3:45So this episode today is going to be an audible people watching walk, I think, of everything that we just went through during New York Fashion Week.

3:53Linoy Friedman: Yeah. Okay. I want to hear just from your experience. How was your week? It was so busy to a point where I literally feel like I didn't have time to breathe. I was so grateful to work with so many of the brands that I love this Fashion Week. And I did a lot of coverage for a lot of the shows that were happening and also like just content for my own fun, which is literally to like walk the streets, which is what I like to do. So yeah, it's been a crazy week. I can't believe like it's behind me. I literally have like in my notes app, I have like a little like, you know, a little tick, tick, tick, tick, tick next to like every little thing because that just helps me keep everything organized.

4:35Yep. Yeah. Okay. So let's talk about the fashion of the week. If there was one overall vibe feeling, what do you think it was?

4:42Linoy Friedman: if I had to describe it in one word I think I would say colorful so much color everywhere I feel like also people are getting really creative when it comes to dressing nowadays it's not just the jean and the tea and like the fun bag I've seen some really cool like 3d elements in like pants or like tops or fun shoes like you're wearing things that really stopped me and made me realize like, oh my God, this is fashion. The 3D elements? Yeah. You mean like a fringe or a feather? Like I just like to call it 3D because it's not just fabric. It's like a pom-pom or like a fringe or like a 3D flower or like yesterday I was walking in my neighborhood on the Upper East Side and I saw this woman wearing this gorgeous like pleated mini white skirt and she wore, I think it was a flower pin.

5:37Linoy Friedman: It was like a big brooch. It was pink and it was so beautiful. Even yesterday when we were walking in Soho, there was a look that stopped Lanoi in her tracks. It was like a girl in dark wash jeans and then a kind of sheer cardigan with feather trim all along the jacket. And you went silent and you went she went full into like journalism mode. She was like, no one move. We need to get a video of this. And I agree with you. Like I felt this season two, there were so many things that jumped off the page and really brought like a lot of texture and movement to everything. It's interesting. Sometimes I feel cliche when I'm like, oh, fashion is like very maximalist right now because I always say fashion swings like a pendulum.

6:22Like we had quiet luxury for a really long time and it makes sense now that we're in this era of color. and I think Chanel really like shepherded that in. People want to wear things that are fun. Yeah. But I felt the same way this season. I was like, wow, I think every single fashion rule we've ever been taught went out the window. I agree. Like I saw Ralph Lauren and Tory Burch, like there were dresses with like boas. Yeah. And then also I would see polar opposite color skirt and top, but I loved it. Yeah. And then mixing clashing prints, so much of that at like DVF. And so many like fringy elements everywhere.

7:02Yes. Yes. Like things that really, again, like jumped off the page. Yeah. So to anybody listening right now that like thinks that there are fashion rules. I don't know. I feel like right now there are none.

7:11Linoy Friedman: Broken. Yeah. The more the bigger, the better. I feel like rules were meant to be broken, especially fashion ones. Yes. I saw. Oh, God, I wish I could remember what interview it was. But someone recently was like the true mark of personal style is like someone who follows no rules. Like rules are the antithesis of fashion. And I was like, oh, I love that. There is something that I really like to go by, which is personality dressing. It's something that I really notice and pay attention to because I feel like some people, it's only them that who can pull off the outfits that they're wearing. And I can see their personality and I can see who they are, but by what they put on their bodies, like what, how they choose to dress in the morning.

7:51Linoy Friedman: It's crazy how much you can do with fashion and how much you can show who you are as a person through fashion. And I'm sure you see that so much on the street. Like you can see someone wearing something and you're like, oh, I know I get their vibe. Oh, yeah. I mean, at this point, it's almost like down to a science. Were there any trends you saw this week that you like so far? One of the biggest trends I spotted, which is quite funny to call it a trend because it's so basic, but I've seen so many people do is tying a sweater around the waist. I think it's like the pre-fall element. People really want to start wearing like heavier fabrics, like sweaters, but obviously it's still hot.

8:33Linoy Friedman: So they just like tie it around the waist for like an extra form of layering. I want to say a pop of red. I want to say color blocking. I feel like these are the main trends that I have seen recently on the streets this week. So much red. But I feel like that every season. Every season. The last few seasons I've been like red. So much red. I just think as we like go into this more louder, bolder era of fashion, I think we're going to see a lot of red. So do you remember like I think it was two or three years ago where pop of red was really, really big. And then I want to say last year, it wasn't really as dominant.

9:13Linoy Friedman: Right. So this year, it's back. And it's not only a pop of red, it's like a full red. Yes. I've seen so many women wearing like just a full on red outfit. I actually wore an all red look myself this week. I wore a Montclair, like it was a boucle type of fabric. It was like a zip up jacket and like long shorts. That's cute. Yeah, just like a full red look. I love that. Yeah, and I loved it. I wore a red skirt to Tory Burch and I got so many DMs about it. People were like, oh my God, that color red, like where can I find something like that? I think it's a really easy way to like bring color into your wardrobe.

9:51It's so true.

9:52Linoy Friedman: And I thought red wasn't my color, but when I put it on, I was like, wait, that's cute. And people were telling me that's your color. You have to wear it more. Well, I think the trick to red is it's the shade of red. because there are certain reds that don't look good on my skin tone. So like a red that is way lighter, that kind of skews orangey does not look good on me. But a bright cherry red looks like that skirt really like I think with my hair pops. Yes. So I think if you're like trying to incorporate red into your wardrobe, go somewhere in person and like try on a few different things and make sure you're getting the right shade.

10:26Linoy Friedman: If you were to add one red element into your wardrobe, I would say shoes. A hundred percent. Yes. Because also it's something that I think doesn't veer too trendy. I actually think you'll wear like year round. Like one of my best friends, I remember last summer, we like had gone out for dinner and she showed up in a black midi skirt with like a beautiful drape billowing white top and these red Manolo sandals. So cute. And I remember they were like on my wish list for months after that. I was like, that is the perfect outfit that makes it interesting. Like the red shoe makes it so interesting. I think that's the easiest first thing you should go for.

11:02Linoy Friedman: The reason for why I thought about it is because I interviewed Kaya Gerber this week. And how cool, casual, everybody. I mean, she wore it was for her Red Dawn collab. So she wore like a jean and a tee and she wore like a zebra Fendi bag with like a little red element. Oh, the new one. The new one. The brand new. Yeah. It has like a red kind of like lizard shoulder strap. Yeah, I think so. Yes. And red shoes. Yeah. Very cute. Yeah. And like tied in with the bag. Exactly. Yes. You can't go wrong. No, you can't go wrong. You simply can't go wrong. Like a jean and a tee. It's like, let's add a little New York flair to an L.A.

11:40outfit. Yes. And even yesterday when we were walking, we saw so much of that. I know. Remember, I kept tapping you being like red shoes, red shoes, red shoes. And you were like, OK, too many red shoes, Olivia. Like we get it. Also, I really like that you said the sweater around the waist because I feel like I saw that all summer as well. But it has to be a thin sweater, like a cardigan.

11:58Linoy Friedman: It has to be a thin sweater. So, you know, a lot of people do this. Yes. Which I think I like it. I tried tying it around my waist this morning and I was like, wait, this looks cuter like this. But I almost fell for the trend. And I see nothing wrong with falling into trends. As long as you're wearing the trend and not letting the trend wear you, you're good. And And it's again, it's like kind of a science, I guess, or not science, but it just has to be tasteful, in my opinion. You're wearing like a cardigan sweater set for people who aren't watching on YouTube. And you're wearing kind of like a perfectly thin sweater that could go around your waist.

12:35Exactly. I'm never like the biggest fan of trends. But do you know what I really love them? I love them when they're a styling trick. Yes. Like this is a perfect example of that. It's to go out and buy. Everybody has a thin cardigan in their closet. Just tie it around your waist a little bit. I really like it over the summer. I was wearing it a lot with like my summer dresses because I think sometimes when you have a dress that feels maybe a little big or like a lot of volume to it, I would just tie the sweater around my waist and it kind of acts

13:05Linoy Friedman: like a belt. Speaking of styling hacks as trends, I just have to talk about this one moment because I think it's one of the most iconic moments I ever spotted on what people are wearing. So I was walking in the street of the Marais in Paris. Okay. And I spotted this woman wearing like a sequin skirt, a boot. It was like a very extravagant outfit in the middle of the day. But the reason it stopped me in my tracks is because she was wearing like a vest from Zara. And the way she styled it is she took two vintage earrings and she hooked them around the vest here. So it's At her shoulder. At her shoulder.

13:43Linoy Friedman: So it completely reshaped the vest. Kind of like a brooch. Kind of like a brooch. And that moment in social media, it just made waves. It adds like another element to the outfit. Like a vest is a vest, but a vest with a vintage earring hooked to the strap is genius. I'm passionate about this. This is something that ever since I saw that on her. is something that I've talked about again and again and something that I need to create product for this. Yes. Earrings that double. Exactly. Let's rebrand shapewear. Exactly. You know what I mean? Like shapewear is not about underwear. I want shapewear jewelry that like changes the shape of my outfit.

14:27Linoy Friedman: You can see that next coming from me. Perfect. I can't wait. I feel like this week I saw I saw a lot of spots. Yes. Not polka dots. Yes. Yes. Yes. Like my shoes. My shoes are spotted. At Altazara, they launched a brand new bag that kind of had like the Dalmatian spot. Yeah. Which I feel like we've been seeing that for a while. But I think it all just goes to say like more prints, all of that, which I really loved. Like Ralph Lauren. I did the US Open with them right before Fashion Week. And when I went to the store for my fitting, they had a lot of like spotted elements like cowhide, bags, and I think it was shoes.

15:04Linoy Friedman: I'm not sure, but mostly bags. and they just add so much to the outfit. Totally. Yeah. And even if you're wearing something really simple, just like one bit of that, I think, can change everything. I also, I just think everywhere I went, the glasses are getting bigger and bigger. Yep. I'm wearing very large glasses right now. They're vintage Chanel. They're not vintage, actually. They're new? I bought them last year at the store in Paris. Oh my God. Everybody thinks they're vintage. Well, they look it. Yeah. But wow, good for you. I love a recent Chanel buy on this show. Yeah. They're amazing.

15:35Thank you. Yeah, I feel like just the glasses have gotten as big as like, I'm not seeing any eyebrows. I mean, I love to see eyebrows. As someone who loves eyebrows, I too love to see eyebrows. But I'm just reporting on what we're seeing out there, which is zero eyebrows, all forehead and nose.

15:52Linoy Friedman: Oh my God, I didn't think about it that way. No, the glasses are huge. I recently, and I will say, okay, so we had, do you know Gab? She was on the show a couple months ago and I told her I wear the same sunglasses all the time. I just can't be bothered. No. and recently I went on the RealReal and I saw a pair that I liked and I got them and they're definitely the biggest glasses I've ever had but I weirdly feel like a new person. They gave me a new personality. No, I can't really. And that's what she said on the show. She was like invest in cool sunglasses. I agree. They can totally change and I'm like wow.

16:22Linoy Friedman: I saw that episode. Yeah. I was like wow. She was right and this week as I was wearing my big sunglasses and feeling like a diva which my mom always says my mom wears the biggest sunglasses and she's like no like it's my diva moment. But the streets are divaing out. The streets are divaing out. Honestly, I probably need a different pair for every outfit. I am a huge, huge sunglasses girl. How many do you think you have? The thing is, I don't have like, you know, tens of sunglasses. I probably have like around 20 or like 25 or maybe 30. But I... Maybe 50. No, no, not 50. Okay. But I just think they add so much.

17:03Linoy Friedman: And like it's to me, it's always a finishing touch to the outfit. Yes. Always. OK, well, here we go. I'm on the ride. I've gotten on. Yeah. I'm having fun. I loved them. I really felt like a diva. Oh, my God, Liv, you need more. I know. You can't just be existing in this world with two pairs. No, it's crazy. What is so interesting about doing this episode right now is that New York is very much in that transitional moment between summer and fall. I actually was walking this morning and felt that like first little crisp air. But I'm also starting to see little hints of what people are going to be wearing once fall really hits.

17:38And that is honestly one of my favorite parts of September style in New York City. You can see the season shift before the weather fully does. I was walking in Soho yesterday and saw so many knee-high boots. I'm really starting to get that fall itch. And on that note, here are a few things that I am already noticing trickling in and that I'm really excited to see more of for fall. And these are the things that are exactly what Macy's is calling the downtown muse trend. It's that effortlessly polished, city-ready look that still feels lived in. It's like tailored pieces, beautiful leather, rich fall colors, and those really strong staples that do a lot of work for you.

18:14It feels confident and very chic, but not overly done, like not overly stuffy. And there are three pieces in particular that I feel like are going to become such a big part of that look as the weather starts to turn. And a big thanks to Macy's for sponsoring this segment. Okay, so first, the trench coat. I feel like the unofficial mascot of fall weather is the trench coat. And we're not necessarily like at full trench weather yet. It's not that cold. But I am already starting to see people layer a bit more. And I'm very ready for that moment when I can actually throw one on. Personally, I really like a trench coat and a mini skirt.

18:49So if you are ready for trench life, it's available to you. There is this Lauren, Ralph Lauren trench at Macy's that is that perfect classic sand color that feels so New York to me. The color trench you get is so important. Sometimes I feel like I've gotten ones that like really wash me out. This one is perfect. And it's the kind of piece that you can wear over jeans, with a t-shirt, trousers, a dress. It's perfect for literally anything. Okay, as I mentioned, also knee-high boots. I have seen people wearing them and really kind of sneak them back in. I saw them under jeans yesterday. I saw them with a mini skirt.

19:24And I think once fall actually hits, we're going to see so much more of that like sleek pointed silhouette. I feel like in the summer we see a lot of like more Western boots, but I think fall is going to give that very kind of sleek put together silhouette. I love the Sam Edelman Ramona boots at Macy's because they have that really polished pointed toe, which as you guys know is my favorite shape for a shoe. I feel like it gives a lot of height and length and then also a smaller heel, which is perfect If you're commuting, running around the city, they feel really elevated without feeling too precious or something that you have to like take care of as you're running around on the subway.

20:01And then I think my favorite thing I've been seeing a lot of is just a really good kind of on the elbow, as I like to call them, very Olsen inspired leather bag, which obviously works even when it's still warm outside. But I feel like for fall, think about it. Trench coat, slouchy leather bag, big eyewear, perfect. The Coach Soft Empire carryall is at Macy's and I actually have this bag in every size. It's one of my favorite bags in my closet. I think it's just like the perfect everyday leather bag. That leather has that like slightly worn in, got it from a vintage store, passed down from someone I love vibe, which makes it look cool rather than like too perfect.

20:40And I think that's a lot of what we're seeing right now. And if you are already mentally shopping for fall, Macy's has a great edit of that downtown muse look and all of the polished wearable pieces that you can start working into your wardrobe now and keep wearing once the season really changes. And a big thanks to Macy's for sponsoring this segment and shop now. One of the things I love most about fashion is that true luxury is often found in the smallest details. It's the weight of a beautiful fabric, the way a jacket is tailored, the click of a clasp, or how effortlessly a piece moves when you wear it.

21:10Lexis thinks about craftsmanship in a very similar way. At Lexus, master craftsmen called Takumi are involved not only in the physical craftsmanship of each vehicle, but in every sensory detail. They evaluate things like the way a door closes, the click of a switch, and the acoustic feedback of all the controls. And much like a designer knows when the cut, fabric, and finish of a piece feel exactly right, Takumi craftsmen rely on more than instruments alone. They use human perception and intuition to create an experience that sounds and feels right. That's what Lexus means by engineering to be felt.

21:42Understanding that the most powerful tool is knowing what will make someone feel something. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing. So experience amazing at your Lexus dealer. Okay, fashion people, I have a very fun piece of news for you. Macy's is bringing together six American designers for an exclusive fall collection. We're talking Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, Donna Karan, Jonathan Cohen, Theofilio and LaPointe. And what I love about this lineup, not only is it iconic, you have amazing designers like Tommy, Michael, Donna, who are so woven into the history of American fashion, but you also have designers who are bringing a completely different, newer, up-and-coming point of view.

22:26Each of the six designers is doing their own take on fall, so it feels less like one big collection and more like six different interpretations of American style. And these pieces are all exclusive to Macy's and only available for a limited time. The collection launches on September 8th, and as someone who historically has regretted sleeping on limited edition fashion drops before, I'm going to simply say, consider this your calendar reminder. This is an iconic collaboration I can't wait to see.

22:57Linoy Friedman: What was your favorite show? Magda Buttrum. Oh, I didn't go, but it looked so cool. There Were all the roses on the floor. Yeah, all the roses were on the floor. It was definitely like a Wes Anderson moment. It was her first show in New York, right? It was her first ever show in the United States. Yeah, in New York. And she just opened a store in New York. In Soho, yes. Very exciting. Very exciting. I was there yesterday. What did you love about the show? I loved all the beautiful feminine elements that she always does, like the feminine body, the cinched waist. I love that she had really long pearl necklaces and she used a lot of sheer fabrics in this collection and she kind of like hid the pearl necklaces underneath the sheer fabrics that I thought was really cool there's also like the contrast between leather and lace she always does that really beautifully I love the colors a lot of pastels like a green a blue pretty so pretty.

23:55Linoy Friedman: And then her shoes were also really pretty, like yellow, green, even she even had like Cinderella shoes. I thought it added to the overall element. It was a breathtakingly beautiful show. Wow. Yeah. I think Proenza was my favorite show of the week. Yeah. I mean, I saw pictures. Yeah. It was beautiful. I really love Rachel Scott. And I feel like I can't imagine what it takes. Rachel Scott is the creative director of Proenza Schooler, and she also has her own brand, Diotima. I cannot imagine what it takes to do two shows in one week. No. And both have like such unique identity. I keep saying the nicest thing I could say about this New York Fashion Week was there are so many things I cannot wait to buy.

24:36And I feel like usually, okay, there's like one or two things, but I can visually think of a long list of things that I can't wait to have in my closet because they feel so special. Proenza, I buy a lot of and I wear and I just find the pieces so good for everything. Like if you need a wedding, go look at Proenza. And when I was growing up, they had like the Proenza PS1. Do you remember that bag?

24:58Linoy Friedman: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they've brought it back. And so I don't know that that show felt very nostalgic for me, but also just insanely gorgeous pieces. Is there anything that feels overdone to you? Like anything you're just kind of like, I can't see that anymore. Yes. Luxury on luxury on luxury on luxury. Like, I just don't like the excessive use of logos. And if you want to buy something designer, that's totally fine. Just don't wear every single designer thing that you have together. Because it just loses from its value. It loses from its story a little bit. I like a luxury element for sure. I like a really beautiful, you know, like the robe pant with like a Chanel bag for sure.

25:48Linoy Friedman: But when it's a Chanel logo jeans with a Fendi baguette bag and like, I don't know, like something that screams Valentino, like it's too much together. You know what I mean? You have to pick one. Exactly. I don't watch The Real Housewives, but I forever got served this video of Jenna Lyons. I don't know what castmate she was talking to but she'd like walked into their house and she had two logos on I remember one was a celine logo And then I think her bag was a saint laurent logo And jenna was horrified. She was like you can't walk out the house like that. Yeah, like pick one We can't be wearing like two logos.

26:25No, but also I just think like You kind of just feel like a walking billboard after you do a little while and something I feel should be

26:33Linoy Friedman: Illegal is like branded hats, like a Miu Miu hat, like a Celine hat, something like a cap that says the brand name, the logo. I just can't. Tell us more. Why illegal? Because it's tasteless, in my opinion. It's like not it's like to wear a cap. A cap is supposed to be like you're going hiking, you're going to the beach. You don't need it to be luxury. You know what I mean? Yep. It's like dress for the occasion. The occasion doesn't require you to wear a cap that says YSL. Okay. Can I give you the one exception to that? A Ralph Lauren polo hat. I'm speaking like Celine. Not like Ralph Lauren collection.

27:11Linoy Friedman: Yeah. I'm speaking like polo. Right. Polo is perfect. I love them. Yeah. Yeah. That's not, I don't consider that an exception at all. Okay, great. Yeah. Perfect. I'm glad. And you know why I'm saying this? Because this week I was at the Miu Mew store for their event. And then I was just like, ooh, hat, a Mew Mew hat. And then I tried it on and I was like, oh, no, no, no, no. I was like, this should be illegal. Yeah. It's a little like front and center. Yeah. Yes. And I love Mew Mew. Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan. I'm a Mew Mew girl. I'm trying to think of what I feel needs to go out the window.

27:45I think people that are doing like the very classic kind of boring capsule wardrobe workwear thing. Yeah. To me feels like really overdone. Like I think everybody has been taught like we've all we got that.

27:59Linoy Friedman: You know what I mean? You know how after a love story, everyone dressed like Caroline Bissette Kennedy. Yes. And I like things like that. I find a little redundant. Yeah, I agree. I'm going to bring up theory again because we actually we both went to their show this morning and they are such a good example of how to take really amazing wardrobe basics and make them or like staples and make them interesting. I agree. Like it's not a black pant. It's a black suede pant. It's not a black skirt. It's a pink skirt with like a great waistband. There were so many things I saw on there this morning that I was like, oh, this to me is like as we're in this maximalist era of fashion, this is a great way to invest in wardrobe like staples that feel special and not just like a straight black pant.

28:39Linoy Friedman: I told Maddie from Theory, I want these things right now. Yeah, they were really good. Specifically like the satin trench coat. Oh my gosh. Oh my God. There was something about this. And I don't think, Lanoi, I don't think you and I knew it was going to be like a full runway show this morning. No, I didn't know. I thought it was a presentation, but we had walked in and sat down and I had asked kind of the inspiration for the morning and they were like, oh, we're very inspired by like old school Paris salons where you used to kind of hear the the designer talking about the collection as they walked out and they had the designers like on a voiceover going on loop as the models were walking out but they had models walk out in like sets of two and threes and they were in kind of matching but the other color so like this satin trench you're talking about two models walked out one in black and one in white and it was extremely chic yeah so chic the way they presented it this morning i thought was so great and i can't wait to see those things hit because i will buy a lot of it it was very good same same same yeah If there's one thing from the week that you can't wait to buy and wear, what is it?

29:38Linoy Friedman: I mean, just because it's from the top of my head, I want to say like the theory, like the satin trench coat. It was so beautiful. Or they also had like a leather jacket with like a high collar that goes all the way up. So that was really pretty. Or I really want Magda bags. And her sunglasses are great as well. I actually have a pair in my bag. Yeah, you were wearing them yesterday. Yes. They were really nice on you. And I wore them today too. They're very big. They are. Do you want me to show you? No, I think you can actually see my eyebrows. Let's do it. Yeah, they're very cool. Oh, I like those.

30:14Linoy Friedman: I love them. Can you see my eyebrows? That's a test. Just the tip. Just the tip. It's a good thing I brushed them up. Just like little furry, but they're very cute on you. I love them. I love them. They're very, very cool. So cute. There's like a white jacket from Kalmeier. Yeah. That is all white beaded. all over it. She styled it with like low rise jeans. It's the most California me thing of all time. I know that and like flip flops. Just sign me up. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Speaking of styles that vary between different cities, that's like actually when I do interviews, like one of my favorite questions to ask is, does your style ever change between the city you're traveling to?

30:58Linoy Friedman: Oh, yes. A lot of people are like, no, it's the same. Yeah. I'm a different person in New York City. I'm a different person in every city. My closet in Los Angeles would not recognize me. No, no, no. I'm a different person in every city. And I personally, I really like to match myself. I'm kind of like a chameleon like that. And I really like to match myself to the city that I'm in. Yeah. I think it's fun. Again, I think like trends, I think you need to have those moments in your wardrobe where you go outside the comfort zone a little bit. Yeah. Because then you grow, you figure something out.

31:27Exactly. A lot of what I've like grown to love about my style, I tried here where I was like a little out of my comfort zone. And then I go home and I build upon it.

31:35Linoy Friedman: Yeah. Yeah. That's the best part. No, in LA, you can find me literally in like a hoodie. And flip-ops, yeah. Yeah. Like a Coachella merch hoodie. Oh my God. Fun. I know. We're pretty stereotypical over there. I know. Sorry. It's okay. We do great. One of the things I love most about fashion is that true luxury is often found in the smallest details. It's the weight of a beautiful fabric, the way a jacket is tailored, the click of a clasp, or how effortlessly a piece moves when you wear it. Lexus thinks about craftsmanship in a very similar way. At Lexus, master craftsmen called Takumi are involved not only in the physical craftsmanship of each vehicle, but in every sensory detail.

32:16They evaluate things like the way a door closes, the click of a switch, and the acoustic feedback of all the controls. And much like a designer knows when the cut, fabric, and finish of a piece feel exactly right, Takumi craftsmen rely on more than instruments alone. They use human perception and intuition to create an experience that sounds and feels right. That's what Lexus means by engineering to be felt. Understanding that the most powerful tool is knowing what will make someone feel something. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing. So experience amazing at your Lexus dealer.

32:48I want to get into your street style, people watching a little bit. I think we as people who get dressed every day and love fashion can learn a lot from what catches your eye. I loved watching you do it yesterday. When you are on the street looking at someone, what makes you gravitate towards that person? What makes someone catch your eye?

33:08Linoy Friedman: First, it's the outfit. Then it's probably the posture and how they walk. Then it's the energy. I look at all three of these things within seconds. It's something that I've trained my eye and my brain. I don't know, or something that just happened naturally as I do what people are wearing over the years. I think what makes a good outfit is probably something that doesn't fall into a category that is broad. If you're showing me who you are as a person through your outfit, it's going to immediately going to draw me into you. like you and like why would I want to show this and why would I want to share this it's because I can see some of you I can see a piece of who you are through how you chose to dress this morning and besides that like you know that's a little bit of like the deeper end but something that fits really well or like an element that I think is really cool like for example a few weeks ago So I spotted a woman wearing just like a short sleeve button down.

34:17Linoy Friedman: But in the back, it was pinned with like a cute little vintage brooch that I thought was really cute. Or elements that I think that just make the outfit look really good, look really well put together. Something has to stand out, whether it's the clothes or whether it's the accessories or the shoes. something has to stand out for you right now you're wearing a white button down and jeans but you're wearing shoes that are probably gonna stop me yellow jimmy shoes with black spots on them exactly yeah and there has to be something special for me to want to talk about it and like feature it but i'm sure you've seen looks before like actually earlier today i was wearing this this with like black pointed toe flats.

35:09And I'm sure there are people that you've stopped before who are wearing just really good basics. And I wonder what makes you stop with that. Is it really great tailoring? Is it because like the cut of the jean is perfect? Like I'm sure there's some of that as well.

35:24Linoy Friedman: Of course, there's dressing for your body type. It has to look good on you, whatever type of body you have. Not everyone can pull off everything, you know what I mean? And I think it's super important to know what looks good on you and just experiment and for sure sometimes i just stop people in jeans this other this other day i featured like a girl that was wearing jorts and a t-shirt and an alaya tackle bag uh that was like in a teal color but she was like the coolest girl i've ever seen in my life her hair was like short and she was like playing with it like just like walking the walk you know some people just like have the walk like the walk is so good.

36:04Linoy Friedman: What's the walk? Describe it. Oh, my God. It's like the walk. How you go about in this world. You know what I mean? It's like be confident in your walk. I mean, and of course, that doesn't come naturally to everyone. But I think when it does, it's beautiful. And I love to see people who are confident in themselves and in how they dress. Wow. Do we think nailing a good walk can like completely change your style confidence? I think so. Yeah. I think if you can work on your posture and on your walk, if this is something that you want to do in life, you know, not everybody wants to or have to. But I think about my posture every day.

36:42Linoy Friedman: You know, to me, it's a crucial element in how I present myself. I see so frequently on Alexandra LeClerc's. Yeah, exactly. She's perfect. she on all of her instagrams there are people in the comments who comment on her posture and it has made me realize how one like it's kind of a lost art because we're all on our phones hunching over true but it's why everybody loves everything she wears even if it's just a simple black dress or something even more ornate i agree the way that she is standing up straight and letting like the clothes fall on her i think it makes a really big difference it makes a huge difference working on posture it makes a huge difference yes and like not just the shoulders shoulders back it's like our necks are so far forward yeah it's true i know even when i look down on my phone i try to like just do it with my eyes yeah just do it up here guys if you see me walking down the street with my phone like raised above my head no i'm not crazy i just no text is worth my neck going forward i mean i can maybe like if i'm walking down the street i could probably like stand up straight and then look down.

37:46Linoy Friedman: But then for the most part, I'm trying to like look at my phone with my eyes. I think it makes a huge difference in your posture. It does. Okay. So one thing I get asked all the time that I think is a perfect thing to ask for you, because again, you yesterday were so decisive over what worked and what didn't. I often get asked, can you nurture taste? And I'd love to hear your thoughts on that. Do you think this is something that someone can just having a taste level, something you're born with or something that you feel like you've been able to foster over the years. I think you can definitely grow taste without a doubt.

38:20Linoy Friedman: I think you don't even have to like work with a stylist or anything. I think the second you just realize what works for your body and the second you have like a few style icons that you take like elements from, like you're trying to, you're playing with outfits around your house and like you're, you're making things work. Like if this is something that you truly want, you want to have like your own personal style. It's definitely something you can work on. I'm like a live example. I think I like my style today. I didn't like my style like five years ago when I started what people are wearing. What helped you over the years?

38:58Like were there things that you looked at or, you know, accounts you followed or things even you did at home in your closet that you feel like really helped you understand what it is that you love? Girl, I film what people are wearing for a living. That's what helped me. Being out there in the world. Exactly. Honestly, that's one of my favorite answers in the world right now because I've gotten that a lot on the podcast. And I do think, at least for me with my taste, like there have been a lot of things just that I've followed or paid attention to over the years that have helped or, you know, like the way I've curated my feed that has helped me understand what I like and don't like.

39:33I also think trying things is what helps you figure out your taste and what you like and don't like. Yeah. But I think being out there in the world is like one of my favorite answers just because so many of us back to the phones are walking through the streets on our phone. And if you just sit at a cafe and look around,

39:48Linoy Friedman: I think the amount of inspiration you can get is unmatched. You know, I never in my life opened Pinterest to look up like inspiration for outfits. So where do you get inspiration? Just the people what you see on the street. My camera roll is my inspiration or just my memory from something beautiful that I saw or just understanding what fits my body, what doesn't fit my body, what I feel comfortable wearing, the colors that look good on me. All of those elements combined is how I find inspiration. I mean, people did it before iPhones. Exactly. So we can be doing it now. Exactly. I mean, look, I do like I do love a little Pinterest scroll every now and again, but I think that's why living in LA sometimes is hard because the street style isn't really there but I just think the most incredible resource you can look at is what's going on in the streets in New York well you better follow what people are wearing it's true on that note we like to end our show with a few segments our first segment is called receipts so I want to know what is the best investment that you've made for your closet I mean I don't think it's just one thing I think just having the proper shoes, the proper bags, the proper sunglasses on my everyday jewelry.

41:00Linoy Friedman: I think it's the things that I just like don't think about. Like I can throw on a jean and a tee and then just like wear a bag that I love or like shoes that I love with really cool sunglasses. And that's my thing. What are some of those things? Like what's the go-to jean that you'll buy over and over again? What's the go-to tee? I really like 61 t-shirts. they're really good I love Kosti shirts Uniqlo t-shirts those are great that's a theory t-shirt I also love theory t-shirts jeans what jeans do I love I just randomly found a pair through Marshalls because I did a campaign with them and uh Calvin Klein love Calvin Klein jeans I do love DL 1961 jeans as well.

41:48Linoy Friedman: Goldie. All really good. All really good jeans. What are your favorite jeans? I am so funny with my jeans. I love a Levi's 501, but the new ones. I get them off Amazon. They're$110. I actually have bought them in multiple sizes. I think the color wash is really classic. So like I have my typical size for when I want just a clean cut. and then recently I've been wearing them two sizes up for like a baggy vibe and they're my favorite jean they're the one I go for every time oh I can't believe I forgot to mention this the best jean on the planet is Neely Lotan the best pants pants on the planet for sure such strong pants like great cargoes great workwear pants really really good on the planet yeah I like those I also wear a lot of reformation jeans I don't own any yeah there's one pair called the Val jean that I wear a lot that feels like a vintage denim and then I get white tees from this place called RLT in LA.

42:43Cute.

42:44Linoy Friedman: I know exactly what you're talking about. Where are you buying fun jewelry and eyewear? Obviously Chanel. Chanel. It feels like that's really your thing. Prada. Miu Miu. These are my, I want to say like my holy trifecta. YSL, of course. Vintage YSL jewelry is like, yeah, I'm always hunting for it. Yeah. Jewelry. I get all my jewelry. Some of this is like my grandma's. 14 carats. Amazing. In LA. Oh, we love. Oh my God. We love 14 carats. I love I love when someone who doesn't live in LA gives a 14 carats shout out. Girl, I lived in LA for eight years. I forget that. Yes. Yeah. 14 carats is such a good spot in LA.

43:19It's my spot. Okay. We want to close out the show with something called Let's Get You Dressed, where we have listeners phone in with events that they have coming up, and you and I help them figure out an outfit.

43:28Linoy Friedman: Oh, my God. So Ashley Elle asked, what do I wear for my 30th birthday dinner? I live in New York City and want something that's fun, but don't want to feel too youthful. What would you wear? honestly i just wore again the summer fridays mariana hewitt lauren island event the dress was a little black dress and i wore a cost skirt that was like a croc effect leather with a ysl tank top cute so i thought it was like super elevated and fun and i love an edgy vibe so i wouldn't wear heels. I wore I have a pair of I call them my boot sandals. They're like a thong boot, like half a boot, half sandal.

44:14Oh, my God. I need to see these.

44:15Linoy Friedman: No, they're really cool. With like a buckle on the side. I love a flat. I actually wore flats to that party, too. I was like, I'm going to a friend's party. I'm wearing a mini dress and a leather jacket. Yeah, exactly. A leather jacket. Yeah, you can wear a leather jacket. Yes. Honestly, something with an edge. if you don't want to look too young. Also, you interviewed Olivia Jade at that party and the dress she was wearing was so hot and so cool. She said she bought it off Instagram ads. Yeah, she got an Instagram ad. She told me that too because I asked her. I think if you guys go on Instagram right now and try to like find any footage of her, the brand commented.

44:50I remember seeing it. It was this like low V-neck dress

44:53Linoy Friedman: that had a drop waist black leather belt. It was so cute. I would wear that to my next birthday because it's like sexy, but elegant and cool. Yeah, I look very good on her. To my 30th, I actually wore like a white halter neck open back Kate dress. Cute. And I like loved wearing white for my birthday. It felt like very fresh and pretty and not like I was trying too hard to like be sexy and wear something black. Yeah. And I wore it with like a little kitten heel. My hair was in a bun and I felt so young and fun, but also not like I was like a cute girl celebrating my birthday. Yeah. Like it felt very mature.

45:29Mature. I loved it. Yeah. For my 30th.
