0:51 Hannah Berner? This episode is sponsored by Cars.com. I feel like your car says a lot about you. It's transportation, storage, and honestly, kind of a personality test. Maybe you need something for weekend road trips, something you can actually parallel park in the city, or just enough trunk space for an emergency outfit and backup shoes. Personally, I like options and I'm very specific. So this is where Cars.com comes in. Cars.com has the tools that make your car shopping way less overwhelming. With more than 200 advanced search filters, you can narrow things down based on what actually matters to you. Deal badges help show how fairly a vehicle is priced, so you can browse with more confidence and fewer chaotic tabs open, which I think we can all appreciate. Start your search with Cars.com. Where to next?
1:35 Hannah Berner? I was thinking about how women have so many little things we have to do when we're getting home that you have to be aware of.
1:41 Paige DeSorbo? Like so many people have my location.
1:43 Hannah Berner? And you have to share your ETA, you have to check the route, you have to text everyone I'm home.
1:47 Paige DeSorbo? And if your friend like doesn't text you, "Oh, you got home," you're, you're calling the FBI.
1:52 Hannah Berner? Yep, yep. And we joke about it because it's so normal to us, but you're constantly paying attention. Even when you're exhausted and just want to get home, your brain still has to be on. You're like, is this guy going the right route? Am I in the right place? Who's around me? What's happening?
2:06 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah, there's truly no clocking out of your safety.
2:09 Hannah Berner? And that's why riding in a Waymo feels different. It's an autonomous ride with an empty driver's seat. So once you get in, you have this private space that's actually just yours.
2:17 Paige DeSorbo? And you know, I love alone time and I truly feel like it's such a luxury in a Waymo.
2:21 Hannah Berner? Especially after being social, like I love everyone, but like.
2:24 Paige DeSorbo? Please, nobody speak to me.
2:26 Hannah Berner? Like, give me 20 minutes. I want music, the right temperature. There's no compromising and you can customize the ride, put on your own music, answer texts you ignored all night, stare out the window. You actually have a minute where you're not thinking about everyone else.
2:39 Paige DeSorbo? And that's the thing, it's not even necessarily about doing something. Sometimes it's just you want to sit there and not speak.
2:46 Hannah Berner? And put your guard down for a second and feel safe.
2:49 Paige DeSorbo? Which truly women deserve.
2:51 Hannah Berner? We deserve to disassociate safely for 20 minutes.
2:54 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah, I mean, put that on a T-shirt for real.
2:57 Hannah Berner? And obviously, safety is a huge part of why that feeling matters. Knowing Waymo's safer, there's something refreshing in having that space where you can just be yourself and let Waymo handle the driving.
3:06 Paige DeSorbo? And we spend enough of our lives being on.
3:09 Hannah Berner? Exactly.
3:10 Paige DeSorbo? We don't need to be on in the car.

3:31 Paige DeSorbo? Guys, we're so excited to be answering your fashion questions today. It's my favorite thing to do and we're doing it with Depop, the home of circular fashion.
3:40 Hannah Berner? I'm literally scrolling right now. Some influencers have been on it.
3:43 Paige DeSorbo? I saw that.
3:44 Hannah Berner? You get to make money off the stuff that you don't wear. And when it's really stylish, you can have another girl work it and style it in her own way. And I love how based on what I click on, they kind of decide what I might like.
3:55 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah, gives you like suggestions of other things.
3:57 Hannah Berner? Yeah, it's a lot of colored shirts, blazers and polos for me right now. Ooh, that's cute.
4:03 Paige DeSorbo? And Depop is where taste recognizes taste. We're actually both wearing pieces from Depop right now, your deconstructed skirt. And then this is like a little blazer.
4:15 Paige DeSorbo? Oh, your deconstructed shirt, sorry.
4:17 Hannah Berner? I was like, wait, am I wearing a skirt?
4:19 Paige DeSorbo? And then I'm wearing this little like blazer dress that has like buttons on the side, but I made it more like blazer than dress.
4:25 Hannah Berner? You love a button.
4:27 Paige DeSorbo? I do.
4:28 Hannah Berner? Yeah.
4:28 Paige DeSorbo? Well, they're secure, you can rely on them. Much more than a man.
4:32 Hannah Berner? They're not gonna lie to you.
4:33 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah. They're not gonna go through your phone.
4:35 Hannah Berner? They do what they say they will.
4:36 Paige DeSorbo? Yep.
4:36 Hannah Berner? And based on your outfit, it's perfect because we are doing some work wear questions and even some menswear questions.
4:42 Paige DeSorbo? Well, one of my favorite things about fashion is being like a little bit more masculine dressing.
4:48 Hannah Berner? Yes.
4:49 Paige DeSorbo? Like I like an oversized blazer with like an oversized pant about.
4:53 Hannah Berner? I love when you dress oversized. We like to play with the masculine and feminine.
4:56 Paige DeSorbo? Yes.
4:57 Hannah Berner? Also, I'm wearing like a Packers t-shirt that was like deconstructed. I don't know. That's what they say about food.
5:04 Paige DeSorbo? You love anything deconstructed.
5:05 Hannah Berner? I love anything deconstructed, but like.
5:06 Paige DeSorbo? A cheeseburger, a t-shirt.
5:08 Hannah Berner? Either or. I'm so excited. I love getting the fashion takes. The gigglers are fashionable.
5:14 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah.
5:14 Hannah Berner? And there's a spectrum.
5:15 Paige DeSorbo? Yep. And they always have an interesting problem that goes along with said fashion question. It gets a little dicey here.
5:23 Hannah Berner? It gets specific.
5:24 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah. With that said.
5:25 Hannah Berner? Let's get into it.
5:27 Speaker 03 Hi Hannah, hi Paige. A long time listener, first time caller. So I know we're seeing a lot of like tailoring and suiting on the runways right now. And I'm very much into this like menswear as womenswear trend, but how are the fashion girlies hopping on this? Are we doing blazers? Are we doing? I mean, obviously Hannah's a trailblazer with the ties, but I feel like I'm so close, but I don't really know how to make it a fit. You know what I'm saying? So appreciate your help.
5:59 Paige DeSorbo? I did ties first. I just want to point that out.
6:02 Hannah Berner? She's steaming from her ears right now.
6:04 Paige DeSorbo? I did ties first. Okay. It was a Valentino tie. I wore it with a Valentino skirt, BravoCon, two years ago. Flock it.
6:13 Hannah Berner? It's only been two years. It feels like a decade ago.
6:15 Paige DeSorbo? I wish. Um.
6:17 Hannah Berner? Can I say something about what she said though?
6:18 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah.
6:18 Hannah Berner? Her worry is so valid because there's something about a blazer that makes me scared I'm gonna look like a millennial going out. Do you remember when we'd go out just wearing blazers?
6:29 Paige DeSorbo? Like a fitted blazer?
6:31 Hannah Berner? Yeah, like to the club. Like I just don't ever want to look like a Karen or like a mom like.
6:36 Paige DeSorbo? I get what you're saying.
6:37 Hannah Berner? So how do I make a blazer chic?
6:39 Paige DeSorbo? Okay. Well, I think what she's referring to on like the runway with workwear, it was very YSL is like. The brand that does suiting the best.
6:49 Hannah Berner? Mm hmm.
6:50 Paige DeSorbo? And they typically do match like an oversized blazer with a matching pant.
6:54 Hannah Berner? Mm hmm.
6:54 Paige DeSorbo? I think oversized blazers are, I don't find them to be millennial at all, but I am a millennial, but.
7:00 Hannah Berner? But you have to go oversized.
7:02 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah, you're going oversized. You just have to make sure the fit is what you like. So like, yes, there are girls that are wearing super oversized pants, but you could also do like a more fitted pant. You can also do like a cigarette pant that's like kind of like a capri. I actually have a pair of leather capris that I'm like really loving and I wore it with an oversized blazer. The other night to dinner.
7:23 Hannah Berner? With what shoe?
7:26 Paige DeSorbo? I did a kitten heel.
7:27 Hannah Berner? Oh, thank God. I thought you forgot. I was actually gonna like call the police. I'm like, where's Paige?
7:33 Hannah Berner? I do have to say, one thing about these fashion, um, call-ins, which is cool, is that me and you also have different body types.
7:40 Paige DeSorbo? Mm hmm.
7:41 Hannah Berner? I'm, um, bottom heavy, you're just not heavy. So I like to show my waist.
7:48 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah.
7:48 Hannah Berner? Cause I could look very square-ish.
7:50 Paige DeSorbo? Yep.
7:50 Hannah Berner? So I like to add a belt to an oversized blazer.
7:53 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah.
7:54 Hannah Berner? But remember belts like five years were like not good, like five years ago.
7:58 Paige DeSorbo? Mm hmm.
7:58 Hannah Berner? If you wore a belt, it was like chuggy.
8:00 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah.
8:00 Hannah Berner? Where now belts are so in.
8:02 Paige DeSorbo? Well, I think you can do a belt on the pant, which that will like since show that you're the difference between your waist and your, like your top and your bottom.
8:09 Hannah Berner? Mm hmm.
8:10 Paige DeSorbo? But like YSL was doing it very literally, like they were doing white button ups with belts and like actual just like suiting. You can also do like pencil skirts.
8:19 Hannah Berner? Ah, yes.
8:20 Paige DeSorbo? Pencil skirts and like a oversized blazer and then like long leather gloves are really in.
8:25 Hannah Berner? Yes.
8:25 Paige DeSorbo? So that's like a way to make it.
8:27 Hannah Berner? Let's bring in, like when you have a blazer, putting.
8:31 Paige DeSorbo? A sweater over it?
8:33 Hannah Berner? Actually, that's a good idea.
8:34 Paige DeSorbo? Over your shoulders?
8:35 Hannah Berner? Yes, if you want to go full preppy generational wealth.
8:38 Paige DeSorbo? Mm hmm.
8:38 Hannah Berner? But wearing, you know, a button up all the way to the top with a, with a tie. Like I think like go full into it. Don't be afraid to go full a hundred percent business.
8:48 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah. And then do your hair in like a sexy way.
8:50 Hannah Berner? Yeah, like a Pamela updo.
8:52 Paige DeSorbo? Love.
8:53 Hannah Berner? Or a tussled messy wave.
8:56 Paige DeSorbo? Tussle.
8:58 Paige DeSorbo? Tarsold, I think the word you were looking for, but yes. Grace, next question.
9:06 Speaker 04 Ladies, I'm grabbing dinner with two of my girlfriends and constantly I feel like they're looking chic, interesting, variety, and I am constantly wearing pants and a cable knit sweater. Pants and a cable knit sweater. Pants and a cable knit sweater. What do you need the men in your life to be wearing to complement your look, to elevate themselves and just bring the right vibe?
9:27 Paige DeSorbo? Pants and a cable knit sweater.
9:28 Hannah Berner? All I want is my man to wear pants and a cable knit sweater. He's perfect.
9:31 Paige DeSorbo? But I'm like bopping to that. The sad.
9:33 Hannah Berner? Pants and a cable knit sweater.
9:34 Paige DeSorbo? Pants and a cable knit sweater. Um, I'm a big, what am I a big fan of that men wear? Vulnerability.
9:44 Paige DeSorbo? Listening. Their listening ears. I think men should wear more bombers.
9:51 Hannah Berner? Wait, that's so crazy because I was about to say I don't want them in bombers.
9:56 Hannah Berner? I feel like bombers are too try hard.
9:58 Paige DeSorbo? Well, because here's the thing, when I think of like, what's my ideal man wearing? Jeans and a t-shirt.
10:03 Hannah Berner? Yeah, gay men can wear bombers because I know it's their choice. When a straight man does it, it's like someone cooked here.
10:10 Paige DeSorbo? Okay, here's one thing I want to tell him. So they're modernizing, they're redoing the rugby. So like you're gonna, you're seeing like a lot of collared shirts that have like four buttons. You're buttoning all those buttons up and it's like a sweater. You're tucking it in. That's like a different play on a sweater.
10:27 Hannah Berner? Yeah.
10:29 Paige DeSorbo? So like horizontal stripes are really big, like a traditional rugby, but you can also do like a cashmere rugby.
10:36 Hannah Berner? What about a cardigan?
10:37 Paige DeSorbo? Love a cardigan.
10:38 Hannah Berner? I could see him in a cardigan.
10:39 Paige DeSorbo? Just like a t-shirt and an oversized cardigan.
10:41 Hannah Berner? Yes.
10:42 Paige DeSorbo? And then like a fun jacket and a scarf and it's like boom, boom, boom, layer, layer, layer.
10:46 Hannah Berner? Let's have fun with scarves. I like when men wear scarves, especially gay men.
10:52 Paige DeSorbo? I hate when a straight man does a scarf.
10:54 Hannah Berner? Yeah.
10:54 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah, I'm like, you're probably going to strangle someone with that. You don't need a weapon. You don't need a weapon, sir. Have a cold neck.
11:03 Hannah Berner? Unless you're blindfolding me, then I'm into it.
11:09 Paige DeSorbo? I don't want to see you.
11:12 Paige DeSorbo? Okay, so I'm, I'm, I think he'll be okay.
11:15 Hannah Berner? What about a leather jacket?
11:16 Paige DeSorbo? I'm just, I'm weary of a leather jacket on a man.
11:20 Hannah Berner? Are you weary of a leather jacket because you're afraid they'll just go full Danny Zuko?
11:24 Paige DeSorbo? I think a leather jacket holds too much power for a man.
11:26 Hannah Berner? Hmm, it's like, unless you're in a full biker gang, which is on its own problematic.
11:30 Paige DeSorbo? Or you live in France. It's not for you. It's not for you.
11:34 Speaker 05 All right, stirrup leggings, are they chic or giving horse? I bought a pair and wore them with heels and a long sweater. What's the chicest way to style them, if at all?
11:45 Hannah Berner? What's a stirrup legging?
11:47 Paige DeSorbo? I'm obsessed, one, that, that Chris read it, two, that you're so like unbeknownst to me what a stirrup legging is.
11:55 Hannah Berner? I've never even heard.
11:56 Paige DeSorbo? A stirrup legging is when it has like the foot thing that goes around your foot. Let me show you a picture of a.
12:02 Hannah Berner? Oh, so it doesn't go around your toes?
12:05 Paige DeSorbo? No, like you wear it with like a ballet flat.
12:07 Hannah Berner? Yeah.
12:08 Paige DeSorbo? Or.
12:08 Hannah Berner? It's like an eighties aerobics thing.
12:10 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah.
12:11 Hannah Berner? Okay.
12:11 Paige DeSorbo? Yes.
12:12 Hannah Berner? Okay.
12:12 Paige DeSorbo? Okay, I personally would wear it with a ballet flat or with a, um.
12:22 Paige DeSorbo? Would I do a full pump with it? A pump might be like two eighties. I would say like a kitten heel.
12:30 Hannah Berner? The molecules in your brain are working so hard right now.
12:32 Paige DeSorbo? They're working overtime because I'm like, there is a world where there is a pump that you could use.
12:35 Hannah Berner? Yeah, yeah. The good news is with a lot of this trendy stuff, I love to find them on Depop because you get them at an affordable price. Also, this trendy stuff that people bought then decided I'm not into this trend.
12:46 Paige DeSorbo? Yes.
12:46 Hannah Berner? And you'll find it there. So I like to buy stuff on Depop that's trendy.
12:51 Paige DeSorbo? Okay, that's actually so perfect because it's like, yeah, stirrups were trendy at some point. They've come back, they're recycling, which means they're, they are going to go out. So you don't have to spend a lot of money on that and Depop is perfect for a stirrup. And also Depop is perfect for an oversized sweater, like she said she styled it with. I think that's how I would also style it.
13:10 Hannah Berner? What colors would you get?
13:12 Paige DeSorbo? I would do all black.
13:14 Hannah Berner? See, because I'm afraid if I did like a green, I would look like Peter Pan.
13:18 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah, I think it's something that like you're doing.
13:20 Hannah Berner? And red.
13:21 Paige DeSorbo? It's a legging. You're treating it as a legging. So if you're wearing black and you wear black leggings, you do like a different colored sweater if you want, or all black. I'd either do an oversized sweater, or I would do like a like a waistline, like, black bomber, or like a waistline jacket.
13:37 Hannah Berner? Sorry, I'm just crying because I envisioned you running in with stirrups going, are these the auditions?
13:47 Paige DeSorbo? I love stirrup leggings.
13:48 Hannah Berner? Can you say it?
13:49 Paige DeSorbo? I'm sorry, is this the audition for Pippin?
13:53 Hannah Berner? Does Pippin wear red stirrups?
13:55 Paige DeSorbo? I don't even know what that musical was. All I'm capable of right now. Also, one of my favorite things about Depop is like, it's winter. So you know, there's like a couple of things that you're like, wow, I need all new sweaters. I need all new like jackets. Depop has such a good selection of sweaters because I feel like that's that one thing that you're like, I wore this sweater all last year. I can't wear it again this winter. Like, I gotta get rid of it.
14:21 Hannah Berner? Sell it on Depop.
14:22 Paige DeSorbo? Sell it on Depop. You always need new turtlenecks each season. So go crazy.
14:29 Hannah Berner? I love a gay man in a turtleneck. I don't like a straight man in a turtleneck. And I will not be explaining further.
14:34 Paige DeSorbo? And that is what she's running on.
14:37 Hannah Berner? There's also no seller fees. I've tried to sell stuff in the past where I'm like, did I lose money from this interaction? I love that Depop has no seller fees. They make it so easy and their app is so curated for people to find your stuff.
14:48 Speaker 06 Hey Paige, hey Hannah, it's MC. I noticed a lot of peep toe shoes shown on the runway at Fashion Week. I was wondering if y'all think they're coming back. Are we wearing our dogs out to the office? I'm worried. I'm concerned. I feel sick. Please let me know.
15:08 Hannah Berner? Wait, I love her voice.
15:10 Paige DeSorbo? Peep toes are so back and I'm so here for it.
15:13 Hannah Berner? Can you define peep toe for me?
15:14 Paige DeSorbo? So.
15:15 Hannah Berner? Cause she lost me.
15:16 Paige DeSorbo? When, okay, you know, when you put your foot into a pump and you don't see your toes because it's either, it's like a pointy toe.
15:22 Hannah Berner? Yeah.
15:22 Paige DeSorbo? Peep toe, it has like that little hole where you can see like the first.
15:26 Hannah Berner? Like right where my, my toes are becoming like numb.
15:29 Paige DeSorbo? Yes, like the first two toes, you can see them. They're back, well, back to like our stirrup leggings. You could wear them with those. I personally think they're more of a summer shoe.
15:39 Hannah Berner? Yeah.
15:39 Paige DeSorbo? Like I think you're gonna see it more, like I started wearing them at the end of this summer. I think you're gonna see them more like spring into summer, but yes, peep toes are back.
15:46 Hannah Berner? I'd like a peep toe, cause sometimes I don't like all my toes showing.
15:51 Paige DeSorbo? Yes.
15:51 Hannah Berner? Yeah, like.
15:52 Paige DeSorbo? You're like, oh, cover up.
15:53 Hannah Berner? Sorry, I'm a little bit of a prude. Like, let's start slow with a little peep toe. Um, I like that.
15:58 Paige DeSorbo? But her question is, are you wearing them to the office? I don't know what your office vibe is.
16:04 Hannah Berner? We're not allowed in offices.
16:05 Paige DeSorbo? I would advise maybe no. Because unless like in the summer, if you go to your office and you wear like open toe shoes, then okay. It's just like, I don't know. I don't know.
16:19 Hannah Berner? Yeah, I've think.
16:20 Paige DeSorbo? I think if you're wearing like a flare pant, you can wear them, but maybe it's not like the whole main show.
16:24 Hannah Berner? Oh, my God. Quick story. There was a girl in a good flare pant in Soho and I walked by her.
16:30 Paige DeSorbo? More than a girl in a good flare pant.
16:31 Hannah Berner? It looked so, cause it was like a statement.
16:33 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah.
16:33 Hannah Berner? And she was standing there like taking a picture of herself. And I was like, okay, like she clearly likes her outfit. And I just decided to be like so thoughtful and nice and give her a compliment.
16:45 Paige DeSorbo? You're like, that's a good flare pant.
16:46 Hannah Berner? I said, I love your pants. And she just looked at me and said, thanks. And I was like, well, I'm never complimenting anyone again.
16:51 Paige DeSorbo? Yeah, that's sad.
16:53 Hannah Berner? If a girl, and this is the thing, yeah, she said, thanks, but if a girl doesn't look at me and say, oh, my God, thank you, that's the nicest thing you ever said, where do you want, like then, now I'm like, I'm gonna fight with this girl.
17:01 Paige DeSorbo? You're like, I actually take it back.
17:03 Hannah Berner? I should take it back. Um, but anyway, there are good flare pants on Depop that I'm probably gonna get.

17:50 Paige DeSorbo? This episode is brought to you by Rothies. I'm currently obsessed with my Rothies clogs. I've been seeing them everywhere lately: friends, celebs, airports. I got a pair a couple of years ago and honestly, I wear them in every airport all the time. They're luxe, stylish, and so comfortable. They've sold out more than 10 times and once you slip them on, you'll get it. They're unbelievably soft, they go with everything, they're machine washable, and they somehow make wearing sweats look intentional. They really are that good. Snag a pair at rothies.com. You'll never take them off. That's rothies.com.
