This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we dive headfirst into the accessory abyss — that magical space where style meets sparkle, and trends get just a little cheeky. The gang unpacks the Spring/Summer 2025 accessory trends that are anything but basic. This season, your outfit’s finishing touches are ready to take center stage.
Think pearls with a twist — oversized, asymmetrical, baroque, and anything but prim. We’re seeing statement pearls used in ways that feel fresh, edgy, and delightfully unexpected. Then there are the futuristic sunglasses that practically scream, “Meet me on Mars,” with metallic finishes, geometric shapes, and lenses in hues that may or may not be from this dimension.
And that’s just the beginning. We talk beaded beauties in the form of bags, belts, and even earrings that give vacation-in-a-jewelry-box vibes. Add in sculptural stunners—think metalwork that belongs in a gallery but somehow graces your ears or wrists—and a sea breeze of coastal-cool inspiration, and you've got an accessory lineup worthy of a starring role.
These aren’t just accents — they’re conversation starters.
But first, Bec’s “In the News” spills the sustainable tea on Phia, the buzzed-about new consignment platform co-founded by Phoebe Gates (yes, that Gates) and her college friend. Designed to make fashion resale more accessible and aspirational, Phia blends AI-driven curation with sustainable goals. But with tech titans not footing the bill, and AI raising a few ethical eyebrows, the question remains: Is this the future of fashion resale, or just another shiny start-up splash in an already crowded digital ocean?
The team shares hot takes, sustainability sidebars, and some real talk on whether platforms like this can genuinely shift how we consume fashion—or if they’re just making secondhand shopping more exclusive with a prettier filter.
Expect laughs, layered opinions, and the same smart style talk you’ve come to love from Wisdom from the Wardrobe.
So, if you’re ready to give your accessories a main-character moment, learn what trends to watch, and get the latest fashion news with a wink and a grin, this episode has your name (and maybe your next statement necklace) written all over it.
Tune in, turn up the style, and stay accessorized.
Happy listening — and stay stylish!
