• How to Find the Perfect Pair of Jeans for Your Body Type (From a Vintage Denim Expert) 01.06.2026 43m

  Denim should be the easiest thing in our closet — we wear it almost every single day — but somehow it's the category that humbles us the most. We've all had that experience of walking into a department store, trying on ten pairs of jeans, and leaving with none.I'm joined by Lindsay Davidson Paley, founder of Lenny, the LA vintage denim store that has become a destination for anyone looking for their perfect pair. After spending an afternoon in her store and walking out with jeans I actually love, I wanted to sit down with her to demystify everything about denim — from why fit feels impossible right now, to what to actually look for when you're vintage shopping, to the conversation you should be having with your tailor.In this episode, we get into:Why finding jeans that fit feels harder than ever (and the fit model problem nobody talks about)Vanity sizing and why you're a 24 in one brand and a 26 in anotherThe single most important thing to know before you shop for jeans (hint: your measurements)Why Lindsay's a firm believer in dressing for your body — and the one rule jeans don't get to breakThe Levi's 501 lore: why everyone wants them, why they don't work on everyone, and how to actually wear themThe viral "size up three in the new 501s" hack — and whether it actually worksThe three non-negotiables Lindsay looks for when sourcing vintage denim (original hem, wash, distressing)Why the original hem is sacred and what to tell your tailor so you never lose itThe case against skinny jeans (and why America is the only country that agrees)Why a dark wash is the most universally flattering and elevatingThe crotch test — Lindsay's #1 tell for whether a pair of jeans is actually right for youHow to know when a pair is workable for tailoring vs. when to put them backWhether $700 jeans are worth it and what you're actually paying forThe best modern denim brands worth investing in (Agolde, Citizens, The Row's Yale Alaw, Khaite, Reformation)The best pregnancy jean (and the Levi's Low Loose nobody can stop wearing)Why denim is officially a neutral — and what it says about fashion that Chanel, Celine, and Gucci are all sending jeans down the runwayPlus, on Let's Get You Dressed: what to actually wear to a spring baby shower when you're not a floral dress girlConnect with Lindsey Davidson Paley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withlovelenny/Let’s Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

• How to Transition Your Wardrobe from Winter to Spring 30.03.2026 39m

  Spring is officially here, which means it’s time for a wardrobe reset. I’m breaking down the 10 pieces you actually need for spring whether you’re shopping your closet or investing in a few key pieces.I’ve always found spring to be the hardest season to get dressed for. It’s that in-between moment where your winter pieces feel too heavy, but it’s not quite summer either, so figuring out what actually works can be hard. From the perfect work pant to the return of the barn jacket, pencil skirts, and cropped denim, these are the staples, trends, and styling shifts that will make getting dressed this season so much easier.

• How the NFL Became Fashion’s New Runway 10.02.2026 42m

  If there’s any sports bet we’re taking right now, it’s that the football field is becoming fashion’s favorite runway. On this episode of Let’s Get Dressed, I’m joined by Daniel-Yaw Miller, sports and fashion journalist, and author of the SportsVerse Substack, for a post-Super Bowl debrief on how fashion showed up all weekend long. From Bad Bunny’s halftime performance in custom Zara and Adidas, to designer activations, athlete styling, and brands finding ways in without buying a single commercial, we talk through why sports have suddenly become such a valuable cultural space for fashion.We also get into why sports feel like a kind of reset for brands — a place to reach massive audiences, soften narratives, and feel culturally relevant without over-explaining themselves. What worked, what didn’t, and why so many fashion brands seem more interested in game day than runway season.  Follow Daniel-Yaw on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/danielyaw_/Subscribe to SportsVerse https://sportsverse.substack.comLet’s Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.
