You're listening to Amma Mia podcast. Mama Mia acknowledges the
traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast is

seriously disturved laurels for spraying groundbreaking? Oh my god, you
have to do it.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
You live for fashion.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Hello, and welcome to Nothing to Wear, the podcast that
solves fashion problems and levels up your wardrobe. I'm Lee Campbell,
and every week I chat to an expert who helps
us get more out of the clothes we already own
and tells us exactly what is and isn't worth adding
to our wardrobe. As the ear winds down, it's time
to look ahead to the exciting trends that will be
(00:51):
defining twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
To give us a.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Glimpse into the style of the future, I've invited back
Nicola Dolph, head of Style at the Iconic. Together, we're
going to dive into the colors everyone will be wearing,
the patterns and prints that are set to dominate, and
even some unexpects did footwear trends that might surprise you. Nicole. Hi, Lee,
so good to have you back. Now we're not going
(01:17):
to faff about because there is a lot to cover.
We're talking trend predictions for twenty twenty five. Yes, where
did twenty twenty four even go? And you are like
our crystal ball of upcoming trends because of your fantastic
job and your knowledge in the industry. So can we
just jump straight into it. Let's jump straight into it.
I have so many things I want to say. I've excited.
So Sage Green, it's going to be a new neutral.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
So we've already seen like everyone's wearing camel and like
creams and we just need a new neutral to play
with in our wardrobe. So Sage Green we've seen filtering
through and it's really going to like pop and come
out more in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, So Sage to me is almost like a pastel,
but it's like a dirty pastor because it's not olive.
It's not what's not green green obviously, but is it
kind of like that medium light green I'm trying to.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yes, Okay, I would explain it. It's a muted green.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Muted that's the word. When I said dirty, I meant muted.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, so muted.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
It's not like pretty like a pastel. Yeah, it's kind
of like a little bit more raw, but it's not
that deep olive or khaki, no, okay? And what kind
of items everything? Everything blazers in apparel, yes, I wouldn't
say it's going into shoes, but I have seen it
in accessories, so in bags and things like that, but
definitely top skirts blazers.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I can imagine a crowd of wear. Yes, that would
be very cheek. Okay. The second trend you've given me,
I've only just looked at the list because I don't
want to be excited or disappointed ahead of time. Handkerchief
skirts like why no, they are a.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Bit of it is a bit like do I want
to wear this? Or it's a good one, but we'd
definitely see them coming through, So it's a handkerchief for him,
it's like a fuller skirt. I guess if you picked
up a hanky from the middle, from the center, that's
what the bottom of the skirt would look like.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So it's not like straight, it's kind of so it's straight.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's the way it's cut like probably if you laid
it out of the table, it would probably be big square,
but then when you put it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
On, yes, it turns yeah, sense oh, and to me,
I also think a bit like Tree of Life vibes,
like is it going with that hippie vine.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yes, it's definitely because there's that real bohemian trend coming through.
So it's the new bohemian, So just a new take
on it. Handkerchief skirt is one, and then you could
team it with like a crop top sort of situation.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Is what's making it newer?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Hot pants?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Hot pants?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
How short? Are these shorts?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Very short?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Okay? Like Carly Mino gold spinning around?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yes, and teamed with maybe like a long sleeve or
something a little bit bagg you're on top, that's cool. Yeah,
maybe it's a graphic tea with a hot pant to
go to the beach.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Then you've got this scant. What is a scant?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Okay, I thought this was a really new one. I
mean it's a made up word that hasn't been said before.
It's like when everyone was wearing skirts over pants. Now
it's like in the one piece, so it's a hybrid piece.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's like a looks like a.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Skirt over pants and you just purchase the one item
and then you don't have to work out the layering.
Do you know why that appeals to me. I'm not
a skirt over a pant person, It's not me. But
also the going to the toilet. But I imagine this
is just like undoing one item.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
This is it is perfect for you then yeah, because.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You don't have to pull up the skirt, pull down
the pants or pull everything. You know, it's one and done. Interesting. Okay,
let's go up to the top for a bit. What's
a knit polo top? So, nitpolo is like it's got
the collar, it's got the short sleeves, and it's like,
you know, typically what you think you'd see someone paying
golf in, for instance, preppy like lacost and stuff like that, Polar, Alflorene, Lacosse,
(04:43):
like those sorts of sporty brand. Knit is like a
cardigan nitch or is it?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Like you can get those.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But this one is more like just the normal polo top,
but it's a little bit more fitted.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So it's a bit of a fitted shape.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
So I guess it's a little bit sexy when you
think of traditional preppy tops. Yeah, sexy preppy one with
a blazer, maybe one with like a pleat sort of
mini skirt or because here for a little while, right, yes, okay,
and then we're just seeing new iterations of it. Yeah,
have people that yeah, tweaks if you like preppy, like
(05:16):
maybe you can move into that sort of top this season.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Tent dresses different lengths. Talk to me about a tent dress.
It sounds very comfortable for my endemetriosis.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Very comfortable. So it's just one of those things you
can throw on. So a tent dress is kind of
square up the top, maybe has straps or it's strapless,
and then it just kind of falls down, I guess,
so like a like a tent.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
When you say across the top, like it sits under
the arm under.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The arm yep.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It's usually either strapless or a bit of a like
a thin strap. And then it comes in a mini
or a maxi version. Wow, very comfortable, very like hides
all lumps and bumps, Like it is like the perfect
dress you can just throw on. Pop on a heel
to dress it up, put on a flat to you know,
keep it casual.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I'm down with the Maxi vibes. Immediately in my head,
I'm not sure if I could do a mini, I
think I'd feel like a little toddler. Do we have pockets?
In any of them, we'll get across the line.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Most of them, I'm not going to say they all
need got Most of the ones i've seen do have pockets,
so it's also versatile.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I put your pockets, put your phone in.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yes, and hopefully it's not strapless and your phone doesn't
pull your dress off. I've done something like that before. Okay,
I'm into that. I think that's cool. That's obviously like
a throw on and go summer dress with some sandals,
but could you put something over it, like do you reckon?
You can do a trench if you need to kind
of cover up the top part, So.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I guess you'd probably want to go something a little
bit more fitted the top. So maybe it's more like
slim line blazer. I guess I wouldn't really suggest a
boxy blazer because it'll just all feel way too yes, okay,
so maybe it's like a denim shack at for instance,
which is a cross between you know, dacket in and
then what else could you put? Yeah, even like maybe
(06:54):
like a crop kind of yeah jacket.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, I'm into the crop because then you don't want
too much volume around, like if it's longer than your waist,
and the dress flares out there too.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, or more like a tailored blazer as well.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Love it. Okay. So we've had clutches, we've had the
cross sant back, and now we're going to see the
return of the shoulder bag.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
So now we're going practical okay, yeah, carrying out For
some bags around they're so round, we're like, you know,
holding our clutch and we can't put it down.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And then you're at an event and you've got a
drink and then you're like, I can't even hold my
phone exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And cross body has been done. So we want to
show it up, but we don't want to hide it
with a strap over it. So the shoulder bag is
just like it's got the strap. It just goes over
the shoulder and either sits just kind of around near.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
The waist okay, and big enough for our laptop or
is this more like probably not being okay, so this
is like more like going out or like yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
More like going out work bag the laptop. You've got
those really big oversized bags. You might have seen those
big round ones. They come in like you know, really
soft kind of level.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Okay, So we've got one of those separate for our
shoes and our lunchbox. Yes, laptop. Okay, So the WGSN
color for twenty twenty five is called Future Dusk, So
this is coming. What is future Dusk?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So it is a cross between I guess a really
dark blue, a dark purple.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Actually, don't know how they come up with the colors.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Pantone has their color and everyone just jumps on it
sounds a bit evening.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
A bit moody.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, it is a bit moody. So I think we've
really seen a return to people loving to wear black.
It's always been a classic basic, but as we see
more and more people were in dark in colors, now
they're moving into this one. So I think it's definitely evening.
But during the day maybe, I mean to be honest,
I'm not sure if we're going to see apparel come
through in this, but this is the color of the season,
(08:39):
so I mean, yeah, I guess you could team it
with denim. Yeah, denim and leather. There was a lot
of leather coming through on the runways, so definitely leather
during the day, just different leather basics.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Okay, while we're on color, talk to me about what's
happening with red because I feel like a couple of
seasons go red, burst onto the scenes. Are we still
seeing it this next season?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
We're still seeing red? So two iterations of red. You've
got your bold bright red, so just like you know
your normal tomato tomato blue, like blue based red. Yes,
and then you've got your cherry red, almost like a Burgundy. No,
we had burgundy this year, so we had wine this year.
If we're the ox flood or wine, yes was this season.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Next year it's going to be cherry Okay, so a
bit deeper than a regular red, but not as deep
as burgundy. I'm just going to pull out whatever red
I've got. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I feel like it's a prettier red.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Like when I think of bold red, I think like
that power, yes, and it's quite statement to wear.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
When I think of cherry red, I feel like it's
a little bit less harsh.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Okay, little bit earlier, yes, Okay, Now back to something
I wanted to ask that you mentioned back with the handkerchief.
Trend is the new bohemian, So what does that mean?
I feel like I haven't seen boho really in the
zeitgeist for a while.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Some women just like to stay in that Boho era
and continue to wear their boha, and there are a
lot of brands that still do that year round, but
definitely in most of the labels there was Boho elements.
So new Boho would be like the Boho blouses, So
those like blouses that are quite voluminous, like.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
With the big sleeves and maybe like the little.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Tie up like a pussy blow blout.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Not oh no, not so much, more like you wear
it un dark, so just it's like a bit of
a shoe string strap with a little bit of a V.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
When Siena went back to the Chloe Show, she's kind
of reignited the Definitely Chloe was all about it on
the runway, so that would be your go to if
you're looking for inspiration, have a look at Chloe and
Isabelle Morn and they definitely tap into that Boho.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
And then also the poet style dress. What's a poet
style dress? Think of an artie type person. It's a beautiful,
like voluminous long dress. Maybe it's got buttons up the front, it's.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Got full sleeves, feels a bit of a fuller skirt.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Not olden day, but do you know what I mean?
Like a bit feels romantic.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yes, man, it would be a good word, and it
might be printed, or it might be a plane, or
it could be pasta or just like a light floral.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And now swayed as well, So that's falling under the
boho banner.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yes, so Swayede.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
We've definitely seen that coming through in it accessories and
a few skirts and things like that, just to replace leather.
I'm expecting to see it come through in other things
like maybe it'll be jackets, maybe it will be like
little hot pants or maybe a pair of pants.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
When we were both in Paris a couple of months
ago or late last year. Now, I bought an amazing
Swede coat thrifted and I love it. So I'm excited
to hear this. But my problem is when you need
a coat it's cold, and when it's cold it might
be raining, and I don't know how to wear Swaede
in the rain.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So haven't that Yes, that is a problem.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It really is a juxtaposition kind of fabric right because
it's warm.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
But is definitely I think, yes, it's just like something
to add on. Maybe not in the rain, definitely go
leather when it's in the rain.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And also I should say it's brown sweedell. Okay, so
that's the color that we're looking for, chocolate brown, yes, okay,
I'm into this. Let's stick to leather.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Well, I'm guessing the Western boots.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yes, so the Western boot we're going to see it
come through, just because it also taps into that bohemian
feel as well, not so much like last year with
all the Swifties wearing full on kind of dat right
western boot. I'm thinking more late. Just it's a black
or a brown Western boot.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Ye. No, probably not too embellish, Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I could maybe do that high or flatter everything.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
As a boot, just with that little hill they usually have.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, Like so that western bloc heel that's not too
high and the boots around knee.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
High okay or maybe like calf to knee figh And
how do you wear those without looking like you're in
a Western So.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I think the best thing to do is to wear
them with a dress, a dress or a skirt. Even
if you wanted to just try it with maybe one
of those silk Sadden bias cut middi skirts.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Oh yeah, you could try it with You could just.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Maybe try like a single like the tank top with
that sort of silk skirt and the western boot which
is real toned down wear it, okay, obviously if you're
wearing double denim and then you get really western. Yes,
it also does look good with those hotpants as well,
if you dare to wear those. I don't say aspaticularly
wearing that, but look, you never know. And then also
(13:26):
it does look good with like a shift style dress.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Well okay, so maybe if you've got the boot first
and you try and almost put it with something that
you wouldn't necessarily wear it with so it's not too seamy. Yeah,
I guess it's like the wrong shoe theory. Yes, they
say shoes.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yes, okay, the wrong shoe theory, and the Western shoe
is the wrong shoe. So you put it with anything
and just it works.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
It works.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
We have to pull it off. You've got to be
confident you.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Do, all right. What's a fit and flare dress.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So fit and flare is where it's kind of fitted
up the top and then it kind of flares out
at the bottom.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Okay. And when you say bottom, like under the bust
or the waist or does it different?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
So it could be a few it could be drop waste,
so that's kind of around near the hip, so drop
waist and then could also be wasted.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Okay, but I guess.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
The principle of it is it's fitted up the top,
even if the neck, yes, the silhouette, even if it's
got off the shoulder or a tank top style for
the neckline, it's just all fitted and then flared at
the bottom.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Dress see casual.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
All of the above, I would say more casual, but
we are seeing it come through in evening where as well.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Wow, okay, there's a lot going on here. Talk to
me about mod. This feels very sixties. What's happening there?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yes, So it's just the a line shift dress. It's short,
so it's for those that like to wear that shorter dress.
And it's also like maybe it's not necessarily short on
some people, depending on your height, so.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
People that do prefer the shorter dress. It's a bit sixties.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
And it's just the different take on the tent dress
because it's got.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The high round now yeahs and sleeveless yeah, and it
falls and it just falls.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Color definitely anything, Color could be anything. It could beat
the butter yellow that's had it could be sage green,
it could be simple white linen, it could be black.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Okay, I don't know how I feel about printed. Thankfully,
trends aren't the law, and we're not going to go
to prison if we don't follow them. I want to
talk about maximalist pieces, like I'm guessing this is touches
and details. What's this all about.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yes, we've seen like low key luxury, so that was
quite big in twenty twenty four. Now everyone wants to
go maximalist. So we're talking like something that statement. It's
bigger bows.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Bigger sleeves, brighter colors.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Like more kind of statement, print, more texture, Mari's more.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
That feels like a good trend if you want a
diputee to do affordably, because I feel like, once you've
worn that big bow dress a couple of times, it's
not going to become a staple, but it's fun, yes,
and you just.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Own it and then add some like big accessories as well,
like with the texture or like bigger earrings.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It's called maximalist. What is feminine grit? I like the
sound of it.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
So feminine grit is when femininity meets that darker.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Sexy silhouette.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
So it's sort of like an offshoot of the brat
girl trend. So Bratkela is like, you know, wear what
you want and I don't care. I'm not making any apologies.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
This is what I'm wearing. This is our look sexier.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It's got black, it's got leather, it's got knee high stockings,
it's got lace, it's shit. So it subjucta position of
feminine and strength, but we're seeing it in a more
wearable way. So it means that designers are incorporating rather
than we all have to think about, Hey, what are
we going to put together? Those elements might be in
the same.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Dress, right, so there's a little bit of feminine, there's
a little bit of grit in the one item.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yes, ah, So it might be a top that has
a silk satin mixed with a lace and a cutaway
to add the sex in a right. It might be
a dress that's got two different textures mixed in the
same dress, just so it's got that feminine and it's.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Hard for you, Yeah, but if you want to claim
your own wardrobe, you could do your own feminine grip
by mixing sort of feminine laces and sears with definitely.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
So for instance, I would say, like something masculine, so
I would say, go Boxy Blazer's Boyfriend blazers. You could
mix the blazer with the lace, which would be a look.
You could mix a forty style jacket back with lace
as well. You could do a chunky boot with it.
So it's about mixing those tougher pieces back. I've got
it now, even just adding black to a pastel sort
(17:30):
of thing. Oh yeah, okay, that's an easy one.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
So when you just mentioned masculine, I thought of my
very very large collection of white leg trousers, which were
a bit masculine and androgynous. What's happening with white leg trousers?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
So we are seeing wide leg trousers have proven slightly
hard to wear. I think like maybe some people feel
like they can't pull them off. So we're seeing the
pants get slimmer. So we're going more straight leg, We're
going more let's call it a relaxed fit. Okay, but
we've also seen taped pants, so where it's a little
bit almost like a mum jean, but in a.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Trouser, so it's like a little bit wider. I guess.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
The top down or not as emphasized. I'd say, just
tape it down the bottom so straight.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, Okay, I'm still wearing my wide legs. I mean,
wide leg is such a you know how long. It's
a piece of string. I've got some that are kind
of straight wide, and I've got some that are almost
tent dresses on my legs. So I guess it depends
on what you've got at home. Okay, that's good. I mean,
I feel like you told me they're not completely gone,
so I'm just going to roll with that.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
No, keep wearing them, but you will see that the
shape is coming.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I feel like we're going back to skinny, but that's another.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Not yet, not yet, not yet yet.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, listen, you have so many amazing insights. I'm going
to let you do one more before we do booty
in budget, which is the healed thong, and we'll talk
about in a second. But will you come back for
a second one because there's too much to cover here.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Definitely okay, coming here, Okay, good, good, good, All right.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Healed thong. So I've just got my head around. We're
back into thongs. I've got my heavy onnas. So now
we're doing a heel with a thong yes with yes?
So thong heel or thong wedge or thong flat? Why heedge?
What did you see my reaction? I can do a
thong flat. I'm not even that comfortable. Don't you feel
(19:16):
like if you're in a heel and then it pushes
it like pushes on you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I actually love them because it feels like it dresses
up a casual outfit, like without feeling like you're in
a heel. Yea, even if it's just a small one.
You just don't hitt in hell yeah, like you don't
feel like you're wearing a stiletto.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
It just feels like I'm kind of in thongs from
the front. Yes, I'm still casual.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
But then at the same time, it's really comfortable to
go out at night.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It's a bit like I wasn't sure of the dress code,
so I've kind of done a mullet for my betwen
for my shoes. No, I'm into it. I can do
a kitten heel. It's very expensive, how wonder? All right? Well,
(20:08):
on that note, let's do boohie in. I'm going to
get you to do healed thong seeing as you like
them and I'm going to do Sage Green. Okay. So
what's your budget healed thong for us?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
So my budget one would be the Daisy freeda thong here,
which is just sixty nine ninety nine and it's.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Like three colors. I would choose black or the yellow.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, show me. I need to describe it for us.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
So it does have a heel, I would say, like
it is a bit bigger than a Kidden Hill, but
not as highs as still Letto. So we're a medium
and it has a wider thong strap. It's not one
of those thin mini ones like I have aana. It's
a little bit thicker and it's a leather thong with
a round toe.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Okay, I'm into that. How much again? Sixty nine ninety
nine Okay, I like it. Okay, you might convince me. Well,
I've given myself the mission of Sage Green. So there's
a beautiful blazer from Zara. It's called the Linen Blended Blazer.
It's one hundred and thirty nine dollars. Have I got
my sage right? Is that the right pan of color?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
That is perfect?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Obviously there'll be links in the newsletter, but I was
on a green rabbit hole and I was like, oh,
is that safe?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Like Matcher. It's like think like.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, can you tell the iconic and everyone to call
it matcha green? Then we know what we're talking about.
What's your bougie heeled thong? Then?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
So at the moment, I'm loving everything from Saint Agnis.
I'm gonna pick something from side. I love st Agne.
I've got some of their flats and they're beautiful. Yeah,
they're so good. So sling back thong heels. These ones
are silver metallic four hundred and forty nine.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Dollars sling back thong.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yes, So this one I'm thinking like maybe it's something
I dance in because it's got that added protection.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
It's going to hold you in the strap at the back.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
And it's same thing. It's got the thong strap and
it's metallic and it's got metallic.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Is it a silver yes? Okay, because silfa has been
everywhere too. What's happening with silver?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I think it'll stay for a bit. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I've been kind of buying some metallics in like you know,
the mixed metal necklaces. Even got some mixed metal heel
like leather heels with a gold and a silver leather
because I was like, then, I just don't have to
think about what I'm wearing it with.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I think silver is a good dress for late party.
You know, took color for a party. It's something something evening.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Okay, my Sage green handbag is our wish list item.
It's the Oroton Sabine shoulder bag.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
So oh my good.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
We know, but it's five hundred and twenty nine dollars,
so it's definitely a wish list So I got my
color right. It's like a little it looks like a
big envelope, but it's got that a beautiful handle and
then you could she's holding it as a clutch. Of
course she's oh she's wearing for When I say she,
the origin model is wearing a full Sage suit. So
this is definitely a thing. It's so beautiful that color.
(22:45):
I've not really seen bags before, and I don't have
anything like it at home, but at five hundred and
twenty nine dollars, it's definitely a wish list boogie for
me at the moment. Okay, Nicole, you're coming back because

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Hello, and welcome to Nothing to Wear, the podcast that

and every week I chat to an expert who helps
us get more out of the clothes we already own

to our wardrobe. As the ear winds down, it's time
to look ahead to the exciting trends that will be
(00:51):
defining twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
To give us a.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Glimpse into the style of the future, I've invited back
Nicola Dolph, head of Style at the Iconic. Together, we're
going to dive into the colors everyone will be wearing,
the patterns and prints that are set to dominate, and
even some unexpects did footwear trends that might surprise you. Nicole. Hi, Lee,
so good to have you back. Now we're not going
(01:17):
to faff about because there is a lot to cover.
We're talking trend predictions for twenty twenty five. Yes, where
did twenty twenty four even go? And you are like
our crystal ball of upcoming trends because of your fantastic
job and your knowledge in the industry. So can we
just jump straight into it. Let's jump straight into it.
I have so many things I want to say. I've excited.
So Sage Green, it's going to be a new neutral.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
So we've already seen like everyone's wearing camel and like
creams and we just need a new neutral to play
with in our wardrobe. So Sage Green we've seen filtering
through and it's really going to like pop and come
out more in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, So Sage to me is almost like a pastel,
but it's like a dirty pastor because it's not olive.
It's not what's not green green obviously, but is it
kind of like that medium light green I'm trying to.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yes, Okay, I would explain it. It's a muted green.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Muted that's the word. When I said dirty, I meant muted.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, so muted.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
It's not like pretty like a pastel. Yeah, it's kind
of like a little bit more raw, but it's not
that deep olive or khaki, no, okay? And what kind
of items everything? Everything blazers in apparel, yes, I wouldn't
say it's going into shoes, but I have seen it
in accessories, so in bags and things like that, but
definitely top skirts blazers.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I can imagine a crowd of wear. Yes, that would
be very cheek. Okay. The second trend you've given me,
I've only just looked at the list because I don't
want to be excited or disappointed ahead of time. Handkerchief
skirts like why no, they are a.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Bit of it is a bit like do I want
to wear this? Or it's a good one, but we'd
definitely see them coming through, So it's a handkerchief for him,
it's like a fuller skirt. I guess if you picked
up a hanky from the middle, from the center, that's
what the bottom of the skirt would look like.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So it's not like straight, it's kind of so it's straight.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's the way it's cut like probably if you laid
it out of the table, it would probably be big square,
but then when you put it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
On, yes, it turns yeah, sense oh, and to me,
I also think a bit like Tree of Life vibes,
like is it going with that hippie vine.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yes, it's definitely because there's that real bohemian trend coming through.
So it's the new bohemian, So just a new take
on it. Handkerchief skirt is one, and then you could
team it with like a crop top sort of situation.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Is what's making it newer?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Hot pants?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Hot pants?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
How short? Are these shorts?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Very short?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Okay? Like Carly Mino gold spinning around?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yes, and teamed with maybe like a long sleeve or
something a little bit bagg you're on top, that's cool. Yeah,
maybe it's a graphic tea with a hot pant to
go to the beach.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Then you've got this scant. What is a scant?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Okay, I thought this was a really new one. I
mean it's a made up word that hasn't been said before.
It's like when everyone was wearing skirts over pants. Now
it's like in the one piece, so it's a hybrid piece.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's like a looks like a.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Skirt over pants and you just purchase the one item
and then you don't have to work out the layering.
Do you know why that appeals to me. I'm not
a skirt over a pant person, It's not me. But
also the going to the toilet. But I imagine this
is just like undoing one item.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
This is it is perfect for you then yeah, because.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You don't have to pull up the skirt, pull down
the pants or pull everything. You know, it's one and done. Interesting. Okay,
let's go up to the top for a bit. What's
a knit polo top? So, nitpolo is like it's got
the collar, it's got the short sleeves, and it's like,
you know, typically what you think you'd see someone paying
golf in, for instance, preppy like lacost and stuff like that, Polar, Alflorene, Lacosse,
(04:43):
like those sorts of sporty brand. Knit is like a
cardigan nitch or is it?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Like you can get those.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But this one is more like just the normal polo top,
but it's a little bit more fitted.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So it's a bit of a fitted shape.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
So I guess it's a little bit sexy when you
think of traditional preppy tops. Yeah, sexy preppy one with
a blazer, maybe one with like a pleat sort of
mini skirt or because here for a little while, right, yes, okay,
and then we're just seeing new iterations of it. Yeah,
have people that yeah, tweaks if you like preppy, like
(05:16):
maybe you can move into that sort of top this season.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Tent dresses different lengths. Talk to me about a tent dress.
It sounds very comfortable for my endemetriosis.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Very comfortable. So it's just one of those things you
can throw on. So a tent dress is kind of
square up the top, maybe has straps or it's strapless,
and then it just kind of falls down, I guess,
so like a like a tent.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
When you say across the top, like it sits under
the arm under.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The arm yep.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It's usually either strapless or a bit of a like
a thin strap. And then it comes in a mini
or a maxi version. Wow, very comfortable, very like hides
all lumps and bumps, Like it is like the perfect
dress you can just throw on. Pop on a heel
to dress it up, put on a flat to you know,
keep it casual.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I'm down with the Maxi vibes. Immediately in my head,
I'm not sure if I could do a mini, I
think I'd feel like a little toddler. Do we have pockets?
In any of them, we'll get across the line.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Most of them, I'm not going to say they all
need got Most of the ones i've seen do have pockets,
so it's also versatile.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I put your pockets, put your phone in.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yes, and hopefully it's not strapless and your phone doesn't
pull your dress off. I've done something like that before. Okay,
I'm into that. I think that's cool. That's obviously like
a throw on and go summer dress with some sandals,
but could you put something over it, like do you reckon?
You can do a trench if you need to kind
of cover up the top part, So.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I guess you'd probably want to go something a little
bit more fitted the top. So maybe it's more like
slim line blazer. I guess I wouldn't really suggest a
boxy blazer because it'll just all feel way too yes, okay,
so maybe it's like a denim shack at for instance,
which is a cross between you know, dacket in and
then what else could you put? Yeah, even like maybe
(06:54):
like a crop kind of yeah jacket.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, I'm into the crop because then you don't want
too much volume around, like if it's longer than your waist,
and the dress flares out there too.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, or more like a tailored blazer as well.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Love it. Okay. So we've had clutches, we've had the
cross sant back, and now we're going to see the
return of the shoulder bag.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
So now we're going practical okay, yeah, carrying out For
some bags around they're so round, we're like, you know,
holding our clutch and we can't put it down.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And then you're at an event and you've got a
drink and then you're like, I can't even hold my
phone exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And cross body has been done. So we want to
show it up, but we don't want to hide it
with a strap over it. So the shoulder bag is
just like it's got the strap. It just goes over
the shoulder and either sits just kind of around near.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
The waist okay, and big enough for our laptop or
is this more like probably not being okay, so this
is like more like going out or like yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
More like going out work bag the laptop. You've got
those really big oversized bags. You might have seen those
big round ones. They come in like you know, really
soft kind of level.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Okay, So we've got one of those separate for our
shoes and our lunchbox. Yes, laptop. Okay, So the WGSN
color for twenty twenty five is called Future Dusk, So
this is coming. What is future Dusk?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So it is a cross between I guess a really
dark blue, a dark purple.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Actually, don't know how they come up with the colors.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Pantone has their color and everyone just jumps on it
sounds a bit evening.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
A bit moody.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, it is a bit moody. So I think we've
really seen a return to people loving to wear black.
It's always been a classic basic, but as we see
more and more people were in dark in colors, now
they're moving into this one. So I think it's definitely evening.
But during the day maybe, I mean to be honest,
I'm not sure if we're going to see apparel come
through in this, but this is the color of the season,
(08:39):
so I mean, yeah, I guess you could team it
with denim. Yeah, denim and leather. There was a lot
of leather coming through on the runways, so definitely leather
during the day, just different leather basics.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Okay, while we're on color, talk to me about what's
happening with red because I feel like a couple of
seasons go red, burst onto the scenes. Are we still
seeing it this next season?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
We're still seeing red? So two iterations of red. You've
got your bold bright red, so just like you know
your normal tomato tomato blue, like blue based red. Yes,
and then you've got your cherry red, almost like a Burgundy. No,
we had burgundy this year, so we had wine this year.
If we're the ox flood or wine, yes was this season.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Next year it's going to be cherry Okay, so a
bit deeper than a regular red, but not as deep
as burgundy. I'm just going to pull out whatever red
I've got. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I feel like it's a prettier red.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Like when I think of bold red, I think like
that power, yes, and it's quite statement to wear.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
When I think of cherry red, I feel like it's
a little bit less harsh.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Okay, little bit earlier, yes, Okay, Now back to something
I wanted to ask that you mentioned back with the handkerchief.
Trend is the new bohemian, So what does that mean?
I feel like I haven't seen boho really in the
zeitgeist for a while.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Some women just like to stay in that Boho era
and continue to wear their boha, and there are a
lot of brands that still do that year round, but
definitely in most of the labels there was Boho elements.
So new Boho would be like the Boho blouses, So
those like blouses that are quite voluminous, like.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
With the big sleeves and maybe like the little.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Tie up like a pussy blow blout.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Not oh no, not so much, more like you wear
it un dark, so just it's like a bit of
a shoe string strap with a little bit of a V.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
When Siena went back to the Chloe Show, she's kind
of reignited the Definitely Chloe was all about it on
the runway, so that would be your go to if
you're looking for inspiration, have a look at Chloe and
Isabelle Morn and they definitely tap into that Boho.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
And then also the poet style dress. What's a poet
style dress? Think of an artie type person. It's a beautiful,
like voluminous long dress. Maybe it's got buttons up the front, it's.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Got full sleeves, feels a bit of a fuller skirt.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Not olden day, but do you know what I mean?
Like a bit feels romantic.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yes, man, it would be a good word, and it
might be printed, or it might be a plane, or
it could be pasta or just like a light floral.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And now swayed as well, So that's falling under the
boho banner.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yes, so Swayede.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
We've definitely seen that coming through in it accessories and
a few skirts and things like that, just to replace leather.
I'm expecting to see it come through in other things
like maybe it'll be jackets, maybe it will be like
little hot pants or maybe a pair of pants.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
When we were both in Paris a couple of months
ago or late last year. Now, I bought an amazing
Swede coat thrifted and I love it. So I'm excited
to hear this. But my problem is when you need
a coat it's cold, and when it's cold it might
be raining, and I don't know how to wear Swaede
in the rain.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So haven't that Yes, that is a problem.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It really is a juxtaposition kind of fabric right because
it's warm.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
But is definitely I think, yes, it's just like something
to add on. Maybe not in the rain, definitely go
leather when it's in the rain.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And also I should say it's brown sweedell. Okay, so
that's the color that we're looking for, chocolate brown, yes, okay,
I'm into this. Let's stick to leather.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Well, I'm guessing the Western boots.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yes, so the Western boot we're going to see it
come through, just because it also taps into that bohemian
feel as well, not so much like last year with
all the Swifties wearing full on kind of dat right
western boot. I'm thinking more late. Just it's a black
or a brown Western boot.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Ye. No, probably not too embellish, Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I could maybe do that high or flatter everything.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
As a boot, just with that little hill they usually have.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, Like so that western bloc heel that's not too
high and the boots around knee.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
High okay or maybe like calf to knee figh And
how do you wear those without looking like you're in
a Western So.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I think the best thing to do is to wear
them with a dress, a dress or a skirt. Even
if you wanted to just try it with maybe one
of those silk Sadden bias cut middi skirts.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Oh yeah, you could try it with You could just.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Maybe try like a single like the tank top with
that sort of silk skirt and the western boot which
is real toned down wear it, okay, obviously if you're
wearing double denim and then you get really western. Yes,
it also does look good with those hotpants as well,
if you dare to wear those. I don't say aspaticularly
wearing that, but look, you never know. And then also
(13:26):
it does look good with like a shift style dress.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Well okay, so maybe if you've got the boot first
and you try and almost put it with something that
you wouldn't necessarily wear it with so it's not too seamy. Yeah,
I guess it's like the wrong shoe theory. Yes, they
say shoes.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yes, okay, the wrong shoe theory, and the Western shoe
is the wrong shoe. So you put it with anything
and just it works.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
It works.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
We have to pull it off. You've got to be
confident you.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Do, all right. What's a fit and flare dress.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So fit and flare is where it's kind of fitted
up the top and then it kind of flares out
at the bottom.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Okay. And when you say bottom, like under the bust
or the waist or does it different?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
So it could be a few it could be drop waste,
so that's kind of around near the hip, so drop
waist and then could also be wasted.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Okay, but I guess.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
The principle of it is it's fitted up the top,
even if the neck, yes, the silhouette, even if it's
got off the shoulder or a tank top style for
the neckline, it's just all fitted and then flared at
the bottom.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Dress see casual.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
All of the above, I would say more casual, but
we are seeing it come through in evening where as well.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Wow, okay, there's a lot going on here. Talk to
me about mod. This feels very sixties. What's happening there?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yes, So it's just the a line shift dress. It's short,
so it's for those that like to wear that shorter dress.
And it's also like maybe it's not necessarily short on
some people, depending on your height, so.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
People that do prefer the shorter dress. It's a bit sixties.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
And it's just the different take on the tent dress
because it's got.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The high round now yeahs and sleeveless yeah, and it
falls and it just falls.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Color definitely anything, Color could be anything. It could beat
the butter yellow that's had it could be sage green,
it could be simple white linen, it could be black.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Okay, I don't know how I feel about printed. Thankfully,
trends aren't the law, and we're not going to go
to prison if we don't follow them. I want to
talk about maximalist pieces, like I'm guessing this is touches
and details. What's this all about.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yes, we've seen like low key luxury, so that was
quite big in twenty twenty four. Now everyone wants to
go maximalist. So we're talking like something that statement. It's
bigger bows.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Bigger sleeves, brighter colors.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Like more kind of statement, print, more texture, Mari's more.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
That feels like a good trend if you want a
diputee to do affordably, because I feel like, once you've
worn that big bow dress a couple of times, it's
not going to become a staple, but it's fun, yes,
and you just.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Own it and then add some like big accessories as well,
like with the texture or like bigger earrings.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It's called maximalist. What is feminine grit? I like the
sound of it.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
So feminine grit is when femininity meets that darker.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Sexy silhouette.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
So it's sort of like an offshoot of the brat
girl trend. So Bratkela is like, you know, wear what
you want and I don't care. I'm not making any apologies.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
This is what I'm wearing. This is our look sexier.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It's got black, it's got leather, it's got knee high stockings,
it's got lace, it's shit. So it subjucta position of
feminine and strength, but we're seeing it in a more
wearable way. So it means that designers are incorporating rather
than we all have to think about, Hey, what are
we going to put together? Those elements might be in
the same.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Dress, right, so there's a little bit of feminine, there's
a little bit of grit in the one item.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yes, ah, So it might be a top that has
a silk satin mixed with a lace and a cutaway
to add the sex in a right. It might be
a dress that's got two different textures mixed in the
same dress, just so it's got that feminine and it's.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Hard for you, Yeah, but if you want to claim
your own wardrobe, you could do your own feminine grip
by mixing sort of feminine laces and sears with definitely.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
So for instance, I would say, like something masculine, so
I would say, go Boxy Blazer's Boyfriend blazers. You could
mix the blazer with the lace, which would be a look.
You could mix a forty style jacket back with lace
as well. You could do a chunky boot with it.
So it's about mixing those tougher pieces back. I've got
it now, even just adding black to a pastel sort
(17:30):
of thing. Oh yeah, okay, that's an easy one.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
So when you just mentioned masculine, I thought of my
very very large collection of white leg trousers, which were
a bit masculine and androgynous. What's happening with white leg trousers?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
So we are seeing wide leg trousers have proven slightly
hard to wear. I think like maybe some people feel
like they can't pull them off. So we're seeing the
pants get slimmer. So we're going more straight leg, We're
going more let's call it a relaxed fit. Okay, but
we've also seen taped pants, so where it's a little
bit almost like a mum jean, but in a.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Trouser, so it's like a little bit wider. I guess.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
The top down or not as emphasized. I'd say, just
tape it down the bottom so straight.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, Okay, I'm still wearing my wide legs. I mean,
wide leg is such a you know how long. It's
a piece of string. I've got some that are kind
of straight wide, and I've got some that are almost
tent dresses on my legs. So I guess it depends
on what you've got at home. Okay, that's good. I mean,
I feel like you told me they're not completely gone,
so I'm just going to roll with that.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
No, keep wearing them, but you will see that the
shape is coming.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I feel like we're going back to skinny, but that's another.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Not yet, not yet, not yet yet.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, listen, you have so many amazing insights. I'm going
to let you do one more before we do booty
in budget, which is the healed thong, and we'll talk
about in a second. But will you come back for
a second one because there's too much to cover here.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Definitely okay, coming here, Okay, good, good, good, All right.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Healed thong. So I've just got my head around. We're
back into thongs. I've got my heavy onnas. So now
we're doing a heel with a thong yes with yes?
So thong heel or thong wedge or thong flat? Why heedge?
What did you see my reaction? I can do a
thong flat. I'm not even that comfortable. Don't you feel
(19:16):
like if you're in a heel and then it pushes
it like pushes on you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I actually love them because it feels like it dresses
up a casual outfit, like without feeling like you're in
a heel. Yea, even if it's just a small one.
You just don't hitt in hell yeah, like you don't
feel like you're wearing a stiletto.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
It just feels like I'm kind of in thongs from
the front. Yes, I'm still casual.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
But then at the same time, it's really comfortable to
go out at night.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It's a bit like I wasn't sure of the dress code,
so I've kind of done a mullet for my betwen
for my shoes. No, I'm into it. I can do
a kitten heel. It's very expensive, how wonder? All right? Well,
(20:08):
on that note, let's do boohie in. I'm going to
get you to do healed thong seeing as you like
them and I'm going to do Sage Green. Okay. So
what's your budget healed thong for us?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
So my budget one would be the Daisy freeda thong here,
which is just sixty nine ninety nine and it's.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Like three colors. I would choose black or the yellow.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, show me. I need to describe it for us.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
So it does have a heel, I would say, like
it is a bit bigger than a Kidden Hill, but
not as highs as still Letto. So we're a medium
and it has a wider thong strap. It's not one
of those thin mini ones like I have aana. It's
a little bit thicker and it's a leather thong with
a round toe.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Okay, I'm into that. How much again? Sixty nine ninety
nine Okay, I like it. Okay, you might convince me. Well,
I've given myself the mission of Sage Green. So there's
a beautiful blazer from Zara. It's called the Linen Blended Blazer.
It's one hundred and thirty nine dollars. Have I got
my sage right? Is that the right pan of color?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
That is perfect?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Obviously there'll be links in the newsletter, but I was
on a green rabbit hole and I was like, oh,
is that safe?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Like Matcher. It's like think like.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, can you tell the iconic and everyone to call
it matcha green? Then we know what we're talking about.
What's your bougie heeled thong? Then?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
So at the moment, I'm loving everything from Saint Agnis.
I'm gonna pick something from side. I love st Agne.
I've got some of their flats and they're beautiful. Yeah,
they're so good. So sling back thong heels. These ones
are silver metallic four hundred and forty nine.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Dollars sling back thong.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yes, So this one I'm thinking like maybe it's something
I dance in because it's got that added protection.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
It's going to hold you in the strap at the back.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
And it's same thing. It's got the thong strap and
it's metallic and it's got metallic.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Is it a silver yes? Okay, because silfa has been
everywhere too. What's happening with silver?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I think it'll stay for a bit. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I've been kind of buying some metallics in like you know,
the mixed metal necklaces. Even got some mixed metal heel
like leather heels with a gold and a silver leather
because I was like, then, I just don't have to
think about what I'm wearing it with.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I think silver is a good dress for late party.
You know, took color for a party. It's something something evening.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Okay, my Sage green handbag is our wish list item.
It's the Oroton Sabine shoulder bag.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
So oh my good.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
We know, but it's five hundred and twenty nine dollars,
so it's definitely a wish list So I got my
color right. It's like a little it looks like a
big envelope, but it's got that a beautiful handle and
then you could she's holding it as a clutch. Of
course she's oh she's wearing for When I say she,
the origin model is wearing a full Sage suit. So
this is definitely a thing. It's so beautiful that color.
(22:45):
I've not really seen bags before, and I don't have
anything like it at home, but at five hundred and
twenty nine dollars, it's definitely a wish list boogie for
me at the moment. Okay, Nicole, you're coming back because
