Black Style Anecdotes Podcast

In this season 15 finale episode, I sit down in person with ChasItie Lindsay to talk about her effortless style, the story clothes tell, and learning to dress for yourself. From trying to recreate T-Boz's iconic look from TLC's "Creep" video as a young girl to embracing a tomboy-chic aesthetic today, Chasitie shares how her style has evolved and why comfort and freedom are at the center of it all.

We get into her love for oversized shirts, baggy ripped jeans, sneakers, and hats, plus how her style has evolved through different seasons, the challenge of figuring out what to wear for special occasions, and more.
