Get ready to weave some style wisdom into your wardrobe! This week’s episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe is threading the needle on summer staples, fall forecasts, and everything in between. From crochet tops to color trends, the crew stitches together wit, wisdom, and plenty of fashion fun.
The Shirt of Summer 2024: Crochet & Mesh Madness
The episode kicks off with a nod to what may go down in history as the official shirt of summer 2024: the crochet/mesh top from Abercrombie. Light, airy, and Instagram-ready, it’s the piece that had guys everywhere in stitches—literally.
The crew has a laugh about how this once niche look made its way into mainstream wardrobes, debating whether it’s a passing fad or a summer staple. Crochet, after all, has always walked the line between bohemian chic and risky novelty. But this summer, it became a unifying thread across beaches, barbecues, and even casual nights out.
The consensus? Fashion is meant to be fun, and if a crochet top brings joy (and a few double-takes), then it’s earned its moment in the sun.
Pantone Fall/Winter 2024 Palette: Color Forecasting
From mesh to more moody matters, the crew shifts into fall/winter territory with a breakdown of Pantone’s trend colors for 2024. This season’s palette is anything but patchwork—it’s a rich, cohesive tapestry of shades that offer both drama and depth.
