Today on Real Talk, The RealReal’s Kristen Naiman sits with beloved cook and author Alison Roman. They begin by unpacking Alison’s intuitive approach to style: blending the high and low, finding her signature uniform, and landing on her signature red nails. Then, they discuss hosting, motherhood, personal rituals, and how getting dressed can feel both practical and expressive.

To close, Kristen and Alison offer guidance to two callers: one trying to build a wardrobe of staples that feel personal instead of trend-forward, and another figuring out how to maintain style—and feel like herself—while dressing for cold weather in New York City.

In the second half, Kristen and Jennifer offer guidance to two callers: one considering a capsule wardrobe as she prepares to move in with a partner, and another seeking the confidence to blend masculine and feminine influences while experimenting more freely with personal style.
