This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the team is letting us know we are in Preppy Purgatory as the revival of preppy style is apparently upon us, only this time it’s less “country club crisp” and more “muted collegiate chic.” With a 66% surge in popularity, it looks like polos, pleats, and penny loafers are making a polished comeback, but without shouting “quiet luxury” or blasting “loud luxury.” Stacy’s already pledging allegiance to this sartorial sorority.
But that’s just the warm-up… The main style syllabus dives into Body Archetypes, the style framework that’s suddenly trending again. Think Kibbe’s 13 archetypes, personality-infused silhouettes, and style essence breakdowns that aim to decode dressing. But is it a guiding light or just another confusing fashion rabbit hole? The team debates whether this system actually empowers personal style or just makes getting dressed feel like passing a pop quiz.
Press play for witty banter, trend talk, and some seriously stylish food for thought.
