    FALL JACKET TRENDS FOR 2025 EP| 270
    Oct 23 2025
    🎙️ Hosted by Holly Katz — Your Favorite Personal Stylist and the Best Friend You Never Knew You Needed 🧥 It's Jacket Season, Fashion Besties! Fall has finally arrived — and you know what that means: jacket weather! This week, Holly is coming in hot with the Fall Jacket Trends for 2025, breaking down the must-have outerwear styles that will keep you cozy and chic all season long. Whether you're cleaning out your coat closet or shopping for something fresh, this episode is your guide to building a smart, stylish fall outerwear lineup. From classic trenches to modern oversized blazers, vegan leather moto jackets, and Western-inspired looks, Holly covers the top styles you'll see everywhere this season — plus which ones are worth investing in (and which ones you can finally let go). 🔥 HOT TIP: Be sure to see all the styles mentioned in this episode on our YouTube video. And, see more at Holly's curated Pinterest Board for this week's episode. 💼 Top Fall Jacket Trends 2025 1. Oversized Blazers The power blazer is back — bigger and better than ever. Oversized, structured blazers offer both polish and comfort, giving you that "I just threw this on and look amazing" vibe. Holly highlights the Lizzie Tab Sleeve Blazer as a wardrobe MVP: wear it fitted or oversized, with jeans or joggers, or over a dress. This is the transitional layering piece that never goes out of style. 🖤 Shop Holly's Pick: Lizzie Tab Sleeve Blazer – Black 2. The Trench Coat (and the Cropped Trench!) You can't talk about outerwear without paying homage to the trench coat. Holly takes us on a quick fashion history tour — from its military roots in the 1850s to its Hollywood glamour moments with Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren. The cropped trench is Fall 2025's twist on this timeless piece — lightweight, modern, and perfect for those unpredictable "is it cold or not?" days. Ideal for windy afternoons, light rain, or layering over knits without adding bulk. 🩶 Shop Holly's Pick: Cropped Trench Coat 3. Quilted Coats Think of it as a literal quilt made into a jacket? Um, yes. Or, a jacket with a diamond stitched pattern which adds a cozy texture and visual interest to your outfit. #YYASSS Holly loves this nod to vintage style and points to the sustainable designs she spotted at Round Top, Texas, where artisans upcycle blankets into wearable art. ✨ Styling Tip: Pair a quilted jacket with denim and a simple tee for effortless weekend chic. 4. Vegan Leather Jackets A continuing favorite — and for good reason. Holly's liquid leather moto jackets are bestsellers for a reason: they're soft, sleek, and incredibly versatile. These jackets give you all the edge of leather without the heaviness (or the guilt). Whether you're styling jeans, joggers, or a midi dress, vegan leather adds instant cool. 🤎 Shop Holly's Pick: Liquid Leather Moto Jacket – Brown or Black 5. The Toile Print Car Coat Fall 2025's statement jacket? The Black & White French Toile Print Car Coat. Elegant yet practical, this coat takes you from day to night — from errands to evening events — without missing a beat. Dress it down with denim or up with an LBD. The timeless pattern adds just the right amount of personality while staying totally classic. 🖤 Shop Holly's Pick: Black & White Toile Print Car Coat 6. Western-Inspired Jackets Yee-haw, but make it modern. The Western flair hasn't gone anywhere — suede, fringe, embroidered denim, and even crystal-embellished pieces on top and bottom are a must-have! These pieces are chic showstoppers and will be something your people will wonder where you will be going "all dressed up". 🤠 Styling Tip: Balance the boldness — Let the embellished or leather piece be the star. The rest of the outfit are the supporting actors. 🛍️ Shop Holly's Curated Favorites Every piece Holly mentions in this episode is available now (and selling fast!) at👉 www.wearthisnotthat.shop Featured in this episode: Lizzie Tab Sleeve Blazer – Black Cropped Trench Coat Liquid Leather Moto Jacket – Brown & Black Black and White Toile Print Car Coat Estelle Everyday Denim – the perfect jean to pair with any fall jacket! 💬 Fashion Law of the Week "When you have the correct fitting clothes, you won't feel like you need to lose weight." Let's stitch that on a pillow and put this on a t-shirt, besties. You deserve to feel amazing in your clothes right now — not after you lose five pounds, not next season. Confidence starts with fit and comfort. Period. 💕 Holly's Encouragement for Fall Fall is the perfect time to refresh, reevaluate, and reinvent. So grab your pumpkin spice latte and head to that coat closet — rediscover what you already love, let go of what no longer fits your style, and make room for the new pieces that make you feel fabulous. Because when you feel good in what you wear, ...

    Designer Spotlight – Bree McKeen of Evelyn & Bobbie | EP 270
    Oct 16 2025
    This week, Holly sits down with the brilliant Bree McKeen, founder and CEO of Evelyn & Bobbie — the revolutionary lingerie brand changing how women think about bras. Bree's mission is simple yet radical: confidence starts with comfort. Her company has re- engineered the bra from the inside out—no wires, no digging, no compromises. 🔥 HOT TIP: Make sssuuurrreee you are watching the video interview with real product demos on our YouTube Channel. Please consider subscribing if you haven't so far, so you can get all of this free fashion content delivered straight to you. After years of discomfort and frustration with traditional underwire bras, Bree set out to design something entirely new. With her background in finance and innovation in Silicon Valley, and a deep understanding of design thinking from her time at Stanford, she developed patented EBCore™ technology, a 3D support sling that replaces the wire entirely. The result? Bras that lift, separate, and smooth—without pain. "It turns out your body is perfect. It's bras that have been getting it wrong." — Bree McKeen The Aha Moment: Why Evelyn & Bobbie Was Born Bree's "aha" moment came after years of struggling with ill-fitting, uncomfortable bras that failed to deliver both comfort and shape. She realized women deserved more — bras that felt as good as they looked. Armed with curiosity, creativity, and a design-thinking mindset, she went from a finance professional to a lingerie innovator, developing prototypes with her dad in their garage before moving to Portland — home to performance apparel giants like Nike and Adidas — to access cutting-edge materials and production methods. Her company is named after her grandmother Evelyn, and great-aunt Bobbie, two women who inspired her to blend grace, strength, and ingenuity into everything she creates. What Makes Evelyn & Bobbie Different Evelyn & Bobbie isn't just another lingerie line. Bree has created a modern replacement for the 1931 underwire—a patented sling system that supports from below, adapts to every curve, and delivers real lift and separation. Key Innovations: EB Core™ Support Sling – Replaces underwire with a bonded, 3D support structure.Adaptive Fit System – Seven easy sizes that fit over 120 body shapes, adjusting to asymmetry and natural movement.Smoothing Construction – Seamless bonding eliminates bulges and lines under clothing.Inclusive Sizing – From 28B to 52K, every woman can find her perfect fit. And yes — they're gorgeous. Bree's mission is to make women feel beautiful from every angle, with bras that are as supportive as they are empowering. The Bras and Undergarments You Need to Know Throughout the episode, Holly and Bree discuss the Evelyn & Bobbie bestsellers and what makes them truly transformative: The Defy Bra & Tank – A wireless, smoothing, all-day support hero that feels like a second skin. The Beyond Bra – A seamless, wire-free bra with full support and elegant lift. The Retro Bikini – The brand's bestselling brief, designed with invisible seams, four-way stretch, and breathable cotton gusset. The Slip Short – The secret to smoothing under dresses without chafing or bulk. The Defy Tank – Holly's personal favorite, featuring a built-in bra that shapes and lifts under everything from blazers to errands-ready looks. Each piece is designed to move with you, not against you — and to make getting dressed an act of confidence, not compromise. What's Next for Evelyn & Bobbie Bree offers a sneak peek into what's ahead: A sports bra designed for high-performance support.A "Busty" line for small-band, full-cup fits (coming next year). Future swimwear featuring EB Core™ technology for comfort, support, and sleek design — without the bulk.A maternity collection for modern mothers who deserve both style and functionality. Evelyn & Bobbie's design philosophy is "fewer, better things" — investing in long-lasting, perfected styles rather than chasing trends. With more than 270 fit models and obsessive attention to detail, Bree and her team refuse to release anything until it's flawless. Holly's Takeaway As Holly shares, the right bra is foundational to how we look and feel. Fashion and confidence start underneath — and when you invest in great fit, you invest in yourself. Evelyn & Bobbie make that easy with thoughtful design, real innovation, and products that deliver what women have been waiting for: comfort, lift, and beauty in one perfect package. Thank You, Bree!
