Ralph Lauren isn't just a brand — it's one of the only American fashion houses that has shaped culture for nearly 60 years. And right now, it's having one of its biggest cultural moments yet, resonating across every generation. Today we’re joined by longtime WWD fashion editor and friend of the house, Bridget Foley, who’s had a front row seat to the brand’s evolution. She’s also the author of Lauren’s latest book, Ralph Lauren Catwalk, which covers over 100 runway shows and the brand’s most iconic moments. In this episode, we get into:What actually defines a brand with longevity (and why so few designers achieve it)Ralph's "meet cute" moment with fashion and why he calls himself a storyteller, not a designerThe authenticity that makes Ralph different from every other luxury houseWhy Ralph was doing "lifestyle" decades before the term existedThe hand-me-downs, vintage uniforms, and Bronx childhood that shaped his entire aestheticRalph's belief in longevity and preservation, sustainability before it had a nameInside the Ralph Lauren archive (and why Bridget calls it a "fashion lover's wonderland")Why Gen Z fell in love with Ralph Lauren and what their parents' closets have to do with itThe codes that have permeated time: the tuxedo jacket over jeans, the polo shirt, the patchworkRalph Lauren's optimism and what it's actually rooted inWhat Ralph has done to stay relevant with the next generationShop the new book, Ralph Lauren Catwalk, here: https://go.shopmy.us/p-56009344 Let’s Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

If there’s one thing that’s transformed my personal style the most, it’s this: editing my closet. I’m a firm believer that a tidy closet = a clear mind, and every spring, I treat it like a full reset.After doing one of the biggest clean-outs of my life (we’re talking half my closet gone), I realized that great style isn’t about having more, it’s about having the right pieces, and knowing how to let go of the rest. In this solo episode, I’m walking you through my exact, step-by-step guide to a spring closet reset—how to approach it with intention, make it actually enjoyable, and come out the other side with a wardrobe that finally feels like you.We get into:How to define your personal style right nowThe exact system I use to edit my closet (keep, tailor, rehome)My “hero rack” trick that changes how you get dressed every dayWhat to do with pieces you feel emotionally attached toHow to actually sell your clothes (and make money back)Why you shouldn’t rush to buy anything new after a clean-outThank you to Depop for making this episode possible.

Spring is officially here, which means it’s time for a wardrobe reset. I’m breaking down the 10 pieces you actually need for spring whether you’re shopping your closet or investing in a few key pieces.I’ve always found spring to be the hardest season to get dressed for.

From the perfect work pant to the return of the barn jacket, pencil skirts, and cropped denim, these are the staples, trends, and styling shifts that will make getting dressed this season so much easier. We’re also talking about how to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring, why fabric matters more than you think, and how to bring more personality into your everyday outfits.This episode is your guide to refreshing your closet without overconsuming, focusing on pieces you’ll actually wear and style on repeat.Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/4234938In this conversation, we get into:The 10 spring wardrobe essentials you actually needHow to transition your wardrobe from winter to springWhy switching fabrics is the key to seasonal dressingThe best “work pant” styles for spring (and why they’re so versatile)The return of the barn jacket and how to style itWhy pencil skirts are trending again and how to wear themThe layered tee trend and easy ways to elevate basicsHow to incorporate texture (fringe, feathers, movement) into your wardrobeWhy baby blue is the standout color for springHow to use accessories like belts and shoes to elevate any outfitThe return of lace and how to style it beyond “going out”Why cropped jeans are back and how they change your proportionsThe shift toward sleek, minimal shoes (and the best loafers for spring)How to refresh your closet without buying everything newTimestamps:02:00  Life update + getting back into routine after being sick05:00  Why spring is the perfect time for a wardrobe reset07:00  The importance of fabric when transitioning seasons09:00  The perfect work pant: what to look for + best styles12:00  The barn jacket: why it’s a spring staple15:00  Pencil skirts are back: how to style them for real life18:00  The layered tee trend and elevated basics20:00  Texture in fashion: fringe, feathers, and movement23:00  How to wear statement pieces in an everyday way25:00  The color of the season: why baby blue works as a neutral27:00  Bright accessories and the power of a statement belt29:00  Lace for spring: how to style it beyond the obvious31:00  Cropped jeans and why showing your shoes matters34:00  Affordable vs. investment denim options36:00  The return of the sleek loafer (and why chunky is out)38:00  How to shop your closet and avoid overconsumption40:00  Final thoughts: building a wardrobe you actually wearLet’s Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.
