Show Notes
Some of the most-asked questions I get are about the stuff we wear every single day, the work pants, the basics, the summer sandals, the first-date outfit. And honestly, these are the hardest things to get right, because they're the pieces that have to actually work in your real life.
I'm answering all of your questions, from the affordable work pants I've worn literally to Paris and back, to the sleepover outfit that isn't lingerie, to why I'm personally not betting on 90s minimalism being the trend of the year.
We also get into the reality of summer sandal shopping when you actually have to walk, the affordable basics that rival luxury, how to experiment with trends without blowing your budget, and my best advice for anyone trying to break into fashion right now.
In this episode, we get into: The $148 work pants I've worn from Paris Fashion Week to an LA birthday in the same day Where to actually find great tops that aren't tees or button-downs What to wear to a new fling's place that isn't lingerie but still feels good Why I don't believe in sneakers with sundresses — and what to wear instead The most comfortable summer sandals (and the ones that will ruin your vacation) The affordable basics that rival luxury (Uniqlo, Old Navy, Quince, COS) The $25 jeans that have been $25 since the 90s — and are actually good How to experiment with trends on Depop without overspending Why I think fashion is fun again and 90s minimalism isn't the trend of the year The first-date outfit formula that always works My honest advice for breaking into fashion (especially after a layoff) Timestamps: 00:00 Intro, first solo episode, and recent favorite guests 01:30 The best affordable work pants (and the pair I wore around the world) 04:30 Why pleated-front pants instantly elevate any outfit 06:00 The gap in the market for great tops right now 07:00 What to wear to a sleepover that isn't lingerie 09:30 Summer sandal shopping when you actually have to walk 10:30 Why sneakers don't belong with sundresses 11:30 The travel sneakers I pack every time 13:00 Ballet flats, thong sandals, and the dream shoe they discontinued 15:30 The perfect first-date outfit (as the weather transitions) 17:30 My favorite inexpensive basics (Uniqlo, Old Navy, Quince, COS) 19:00 The $25 Old Navy jeans worth trying 20:30 How to shop trends on Depop without overspending 22:00 Baby blue as the color of spring and how to style it 23:50 Why 90s minimalism isn't the trend of the year 25:00 Breaking into fashion after a layoff 28:00 Why having a point of view matters more than networking 29:00 What's coming next Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez

Fresh off the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, I'm sitting on my closet floor (still in full glam!) to unpack everything that went down. From Kylie Jenner's $50 million Fantasy Bra and the return of the OG Angels to the incredible performances, surprise celebrity sightings, and the moments that made me emotional, we're getting into it all.
Is your wardrobe a want, a need, or an investment? Haley Sacks, aka Mrs. Dow Jones, makes the case that the clothes are never the investment. The investment is you in the clothes.
If you've ever wanted to channel your inner maximalist but didn't know where to start, this episode is for you.
I'm back with another September AMA episode, and this one is packed. We get into how to actually land a Fashion Week invite as a creative, what to wear to your first job in corporate fashion, and at-home hand-wash strategy I've been using to avoid the dry cleaner. We also get into how to keep your clothes shed-free if you live with a dog, the best coats and jackets to buy for fall (starting with the perfect ME+EM black jacket everyone needs), the designer canvas tote that isn't Dior, and what to wear on a date night.
Linoy Friedman, AKA What People Are Wearing breaks down the trends she spotted at New York Fashion Week. We get into the pop of red moment taking over street style (and how to actually find your shade), the sweater-tied-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack and not a trend at all, the return of statement necklaces and brooches as finishing touches, and the 3D texture -- fringe, feathers, pom-poms -- showing up on everything this season. We talk about why over-logoing an outfit is the fastest way to lose it, why "wear the trend, don't let the trend wear you" is the only rule either of us follows anymore, and her theory on which trends are actually worth buying into versus styling with what's already in your closet. We also get into her favorite shows of the week, the jeans and tees she and Liv actually reach for on repeat, and what she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner if she wanted to feel elevated without trying too hard.
