Okay, we're so excited to be doing this extra special episode with Deepop because we're going to be answering all of your fashion questions. We're going to be the fashion police. I can't wait to say like how you interpret it and how I interpret it. Interpret it is such a nice word to use. I'm on my depop shit. Like I'm currently looking at these 90s vintage sunglasses that I need. Oh, that's so you.

Yeah, they, you know, I don't like, can you see? And so, you guys submitted fashion questions. I feel like some might be directed towards you, but I'm going to answer it anyway, because I don't care. Because, like, I'm not going to let people. This is a matriarchy here. Yeah, like, I'm going to take up space. Yeah. Deepop is the home of circular fashion where taste recognizes taste.

I love circular fashion. I love discovering things that aren't just, like, in the stores where people are like, this is what you have to buy. You love a challenge. I love a challenge. You love being creative. I love being creative. You love making it your own. Paige, you look so snatched.

What is this top? Okay, you picked this out for me, this sweater. It's, like, tight here. And then, wait, actually, I don't know. It's Alexander Wayne. It's Alexander. Mm-hmm. And I actually do really like it, and then I have these little, like, gray shorts on.

I'm obsessed with it. Which, if I had tights. Oh, my God. Just underwear and tights? Well, no, I have shorts on. Oh. Sorry, no, it's your thing. And no bottoms.

And no bottoms. Are we done with the underwear look? Is it over? It's definitely not over. like my gross shorts are still happening. I just feel like I've done it so much. I did it before people were doing it. So I feel like people are sick of seeing me in it.

Got it. So like you're sitting on the bench for that. Anyway, I'm wearing LaCost. Wait, it's giving like this is what we'd wear in middle school. Yeah. If you had a second one on top of it and both collars top. I'm obsessed with polos for fall and buttoning it up all the way to the top, trench coat, button to the top. There's something about it that like it's so not sexy, it's sexy.

Well, it's kind of like having a tie on without having a tie on. That's why I like it. And you love a tie. It's giving like a accountant who didn't go to college. Yeah. And let's continue. Hi, Paige and Hannah. My question, do we prescribe to skinny jeans coming back?

I know Paige loves a little cigarette pant capri vibe, but I'm talking full-length skinny jeans. Do we prescribe? yes or no because I fear I have thrown them all out thank you I don't think she needs them unless she's like really trying to do like a riding boot and she's tucking them into her riding boot if she has a horse yeah well riding boots are really back can you tuck like a regular gene into a riding boot into a riding boot you can cut you can tuck like a bootleg gene into a riding boot. Okay.

Because I hate skinny jeans, but I do love a high, I don't know any of the terminology, but a high boot with a jean. A ride, like a flat boot? No. A high heel boot. Mm-hmm. With like a thigh high. Yeah.

Yeah. Not, no, not up to the thigh. Like just up to the knee over a gene. Okay. And a heel. Oh. Yeah, that's no. Don't do that.

Don't do that. Oh, no. Wait, you never put a gene tucked into a leather boot? I did in 2008. Yes, I think it was a great luck. Okay, 2008 is in. We've moved past. I think all of those styles are coming back, but they're a little bit more, like, modernized and elevated.

Wait, it's giving, you love saying elevated. Yeah, I do. It's giving girls with their pumpkin spice lattes on the farm. Yeah. I think you could do skinny jeans and a thigh high boot in a massive. massive like faux fur jacket love love that love i love saying faux fur too yeah fofer a fofer i like that laugh that got me so good okay grace so skinny jeans burn them no oh wait i didn't it was i didn't you were listening you said yes for a riding boot yeah

if you have a horse yeah or if you don't have a horse it's fine yes and i think it with the thigh high whatever you suggest all the way to the thigh not what i suggested write it down guys write it down this is class welcome to class you guys this is a long time coming i've needed some help with this i don't care what i look like unless my picture is being taken and i want to i want to look cute on a daily basis even if i'm going to a grocery store looking like a tireless mom because honestly i just have a dog i don't have any children but i'm always out here with leggings and sweatpants so any tips on how to throw together a cute but comfy outfit

thank you. And I'm going to relate to you on this one. Okay. And we're going to pass. Why do you take this one? This is where I'll be rally. I would say it all has to do with like an outfit formula. Like a perfect example is

when I was like peak first dating like in my 20s I would wear the same outfit on every first date because I was like it's too stressful to figure out a whole new outfit. How many dates were you going? I had a good algorithm. And so I think it's a, I think it's a outfit formula. So you have to find a pair of pants that are like your style, your comfort level, and then literally get them in a couple different colors. So whether it's like a gene or like

a cargo. We can't be doing gene going to the store. What? Gene's going to the store is like uncomfortable. What do you want to put her in? Oh, I love that we're dressing her. She's our burmeree. What are you putting her in? Me and you having to work a stylist together would be so funny. What are you putting her in? I'm like, we're in front of the client right now.

She said she doesn't want to be in sweats and leggings anymore. I would add on, to add on, you need a uniform. I love a track pant. Okay. Like, I mean, you're Daphne one with the lining on the side. I love a line on the side. And then you, what would you add to that? Actually, the Daphne pants are very streetwear.

Yeah, see, I love streetwear for the streets. Okay, so my outfit formula when I'm like, okay, like in the fall where I'm like, it's a Wednesday afternoon and I'm running out but I want to look cute. I wear like a straight leg jean, a ballerina flat, a t-shirt, and like some type of cute little jacket. Like a trench. Could be a trench, could be like a crop jacket, could be a crop trench. Could be a fuffer crop trench. It's going to be so many different things. Yeah.

I think you have to first pick out your shoe. I would suggest working from the bottom up. Okay, guys, this is actually class right now. Write this down. I've never worked bottom up. I've never even considered what my shoes are going to be. My shoes are actually none of my business. Because your shoes dictate your pants, not the other way around.

What? That's just, I just made that off. Quote me on it, though. Wait, the other day I sent Hannah on voicemail, and I go, listen to this quote by me. Then I go, well, that wasn't what I thought of. And I messed it up. You know it's your quote. You can't mess it up.

Right. Do you pick your shoe based on like what you're going to be doing that day or based on like what your aesthetic, your vibe is? What my aesthetic is. Not like if you're walking eight miles. Not my business. The location, not my business. And if you guys don't know this, my favorite all-time thing about page is that she once told me, she can get any shoe size to fit her foot. And that's her special skill.

You're a Michelin Star chef? I fit any shoe size. And I've seen it happen. It's fucking crazy. Ask me if I can wear an eight. Sure can. I'm a seven. And you can wear like a five too.

I've gone six, six point five so many times. I've never seen you walk awkwardly. I also haven't seen you walk before. I'm like, oh, she's not walking today. I also, there's something about me where like I either am like dressed up or I'm dressed down. I don't have it in between. Yeah.

So like, but I do understand what she's saying. I don't think I'm the right person to answer this. However, I do love a street style of, like, get, like, a cute crewneck hoodie that you like to wear. Put it over a t-shirt, have your track pants and, like, some six sneakers. What's a crew-neck hoodie? Oh, like a crew-neck sweatshirt? Yeah, a crew-neck sweatshirt that you like over. With what pants?

Track pants. Okay. And just, like, tall a day. I'd wear that to, like, the airport. What you wear to the airport is what I wear day-to-day. Okay, Grace. Next question. Hi, Hannah.

Hi Paige, long time giggler here. I just moved to New York City, post grad from Wisconsin, go badgers. But I wanted to know what fashion staples you guys think I need for living in the city now that I'm here. I'm obviously thinking like a ballet flat, a trench coat perhaps, maybe some scarves. But anyways, let me know because obviously the fashion in Madison is quite different than here in New York. So please let me know. Anyways, love you both. Bye. So just to give you some color and context, in Madison, there's two types of people.

The Coasties and the Scannies. So the Scannies are people from Wisconsin. They call themselves Scannies. They're locals. And they all grew up with, like, everyone being very similar. So, like, they all kind of wear the same things. North Face. So that is actually what the Coasties wear.

Okay. Because that's, like, the Long Island girl. who come in, so they're wearing all the ugs and the North Face. I feel like you don't want to dress, like everyone else is dressing. I think you take little things that you like. Little nods. Yes. Which is why Deepop is perfect, especially if you are moving from somewhere else, because I feel like it could be overwhelming.

She's probably like, I need a whole new wardrobe. I live in New York City now. Yeah, and you don't just want to, like, go to a big brand store and buy what everyone's, and spend a ton of money. And spend a ton of money buying what everyone's going to be wearing. You don't want people to be like, I just got that. Yeah. Like, you want to find stuff on Deepop.

I think where she should start is because it is starting to get cold coats. I feel like living in New York City is all about your coat. True. I didn't realize that until very recently. And even if my outfit was cute, I'd ruin it because I'd have my coat on. So I would say like three really good coats that you are going to wear every day. So like a longer trench. I would say like a cropped like wool jack, like an easy throw on wool jack. and then not even like this isn't even like fashion-wise you need like a really good winter coat yeah you need like a fluffy yeah

like inhale you'll be okay yeah but I feel like one needs to be a trench it can even be like a leather trench one needs to be like a cropped cute warmer jacket and then like your full-on winter coat I would also argue have some fun with sunglasses I kind of live by the rule that if you have your hair and makeup down your outfit doesn't matter and if your outfit is bad you have to do your hair makeup so get glam yeah and also i think you should take the first week go to like the park go on the subway wait this actually really good advice sit on a brownstone yeah and just people watch and this is where you go okay i feel like that's too far for me that's right and try out some stuff and it's very like I feel like that's the best for

What are the shoes that everyone's wearing? Like everyone's in loafers, everyone's in ballet flats. Also, like, you need a good leather jacket for New York City. You do need a good leather jacket. Deepop is really good for leather jackets because, like, the 90s. Leavis. Lovies.

90s leather jackets are really in. I feel like you can get a lot more of them on Deepop than like a new one. Also, if you don't want to go to therapy, just go through all of your clothes. Like when you get out of college, you have to rebrand. Like, you're not that girl anymore.

Purge your clothes and see how light you're going to feel in your life. There's nothing I love more than organizing and organizing. And being able to then sell on D-pop, it's almost like the organizing isn't as bad because you're like, oh, I'm going to make money doing this. Yeah, because if you're like, oh, I kind of want to keep it. But if you haven't worn it, if you haven't touched it, if you don't see yourself going outside New York with it, sell them because someone will love it. there's also no seller fees on Deepop

and as women in STEM we love having multiple sources of income because you never know you never know when you need it you never know when you're got fired and then once you've gotten rid of stuff you can make these like kind of like mood boards on Deepop and don't get me started on a mood board

I love because I'm a visual learner and then you can like put outfits together and like see how they love it's their new outfits feature and you can share it with friends and you can like shop the mood board which is so fun, because one thing about me is I love a project. And that's, like, nice, like, hey, what are you wearing tonight? And you just, like, send your mood board.

Oh, my God. I know you're going out, and it's like, we need a theme. Or we need to be, like, matching to some extent. Or, like, does this work? And instead of having to do that awkward mirror pick, you just send them a depop outfit. Hi, Paige. Hi, Hannah. So I live in New York City.

And every fall, I struggle with finding cute going out outfits. It's getting cold out, so I need to wear a jacket. And last season, I found myself, like, rotating over the same three leather jackets. So my question is, like, what are the girls wearing when we go out to the club or just, like, a dive bar, something suitable, but it will also keep me warm. So there's two things going on here. First of all, are you risking that you are going to take your jacket off and you will get it stolen or lost? So that's a factory you have to factor in. Or are you saying bucket, I'd rather be freezing and not ruin my outfit with a coat?

Or are you wearing a nice coat going out and paying the valet guy to hold your coat check? Coat check. Everywhere you go has coat check in New York, I feel like. Okay. But yes. This is that we're going. Is there a time where, like, you get the wrong jacket back? Like, that's only happened to me, though, like, truly once.

So I don't worry about that. Did you upgrade at least? I can't remember. I think it was like a Zara leather jacket. What coats are you wearing? Like out? Yeah. Okay, if you want to wear a jacket and you're like, I don't care if this gets taken or I forget it,

I always think like a black oversized blazer just like always goes with everything, whether you're wearing like a skirt and boots or you're wearing like leather pants. Like it just always goes. I feel like leather jackets in the winter don't really keep you that warm, so I really don't gravitate towards them. I'm in my 30s though. Like I'm never not wearing a coat out when it's cold. Yeah, the good old days are over.

When that one guy gave me his coat and then he asked for it back in Madison, that was my villain origin story. Like a big leather trench, I feel like is in with like shoulder pads and then like a big faux fur, like whether short or long. I was going to say I love a faux fur. Yeah, everyone wears fur in New York because it's so cold. A black faux fur is perfect. Thank you, Deep Pop, for making this bonus hotline episode possible. We are obsessed with you guys.
