Transcript

[A]

Foreign.

[B]

This episode of Stylish is brought to you by Dan Murphy's Find out what's new now and next when it comes to trending drinks.

[C]

This is Stylish, the podcast for all things fashion, lifestyle, brand, and beauty. My name is Madison Sullivan.

[B]

Thought.

[C]

My co hosts are Arnika Joshi Smith and Joanna Fleming. Happy New Year.

[D]

We are back. We missed the studio.

[C]

I missed you guys.

[A]

We are so back, you guys. And I'm so ready. 2026. Let's go.

[C]

The year of the mommy.

[A]

Oh, the mama. Sit down.

[C]

So, guys, it's the year of the horse.

[D]

I was just about to ask if.

[C]

Anyone knew 2025 was the year of the snake. And so a lot of people are saying that it's the year of, like, a lot of transformation because you're kind of shedding. So sometimes you can be shedding awful things. You can just be shedding for lighter things. And then the year of the horse is all about bugs bolting forward, like catapulting. So it's supposed to be that you're going into this year feeling lighter, that you're feeling ready and feeling charged to go forward.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Now what a bloody great year. As someone who is the year of the pig, the year of the horse sounds way better.

[A]

This is speaking to me because, Jo, your word last year was expanding and expansion, and I feel like you're gonna catapult straight into that this year.

[D]

Yeah. I wish I'd known that it was gonna be the year of the horse. Yeah.

[C]

I didn't know that at the time. I'm gonna be a vulnerable, powerful little horse.

[D]

I can't wait.

[A]

I'm just gonna lean right into being.

[C]

A mommy riding on the mummy train. I don't know why I did that. I don't know. Is that a song? No. No. What's the song I was thinking of that wasn't learning was.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm gonna take my horse to the old town.

[A]

That's me and my daughter.

[D]

Stunning.

[C]

Okay, today we have a very special episode on the trends that will define 2026. We did this last year, and like we did last year, we've teamed up with Pinterest predicts to collate all of these for you this year. Kong. Pinterest, creative strategy lead and trendspotter has selected the top three trends from the beauty, fashion, and lifestyle categories and given us her expert opinion on why they'll be everywhere this year. But first, what are we swapping in? Jo, why don't you go first? Because I just did the swap intro.

[A]

Oh, My God.

[C]

Hey, hey, hey. It's all love. It's just a new year, new rituals. Okay.

[A]

I'm here for it. No, I'll accept.

[D]

Well, I thought I might do some TV series for anyone that's still. Still on holidays or they may be taking time off in Jan. I thought maybe you might want to binge some TV shows. But I should probably preface that I pretty much exclusively only watch true crime TV shows, so for those that. But I know a lot of people share those because every time I post about them on my stories, people like, we want more.

[C]

It's a very interesting character arc of yours, I feel, though. Yeah, I like it. It makes you feel two dimensional. Three dimensional.

[A]

Three.

[C]

Three dimensional.

[D]

I'd rather be three dimensional, I think.

[C]

Thank you. That's the one I was going for.

[D]

The D is probably a bit flat.

[A]

I know. You're like an onion. I love peeling back the layers because you always surprise me.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Cleaning crime, what's next?

[D]

Yeah, there is. Yeah, there's a fair bit under there. So I thought I would do some of these TV series recs for you in case you are looking for something and you like true crime. So we recently finished Beast in Me on Netflix, which is.

[A]

Oh, that's it.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Have you watched it?

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

It's kind of like a psychological thriller, I would say. Yeah. Really interesting series. Brittany Snow is in in it.

[C]

Is it scary or it's just not scary? Yeah, I could get around it.

[D]

It's creepy, but it's not. It's not going to give you a fright. There might be moments where you get a little bit of a fright, but nothing too crazy. So that was a really good one on Netflix. I love a UK crime drama.

[A]

Oh, my God, Sam. I love the accent.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

We just get reeled into them so quickly, so we watch them all the time. I have a few recent ones that we've watched that aren't necessarily new, but they're ones that we've watched relatively recently. Those are the Fall, Happy Valley, Line of Duty, which has six seasons, by the way. And I don't know why I didn't watch Line of Duty earlier because it is genuinely such a good show.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Broadchurch as well is one that I watched years and years ago. But it's. I can go back to it because I got such a bad memory. I can go back to these shows and watch them again and I'm like, I don't remember that happening.

[C]

That shocks me from you. Yeah.

[D]

No, terrible memory.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

And still drama, but not crime. Is the Spirit Split, which is about divorce attorneys.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

And Nicola Walker is a really popular UK like crime. She's often, you know, a lawyer or a cop or, you know, a detective or something like that. So I really love her as an actor. But that's another one for you. If you're not quite into the crime, but you like something that's a bit dramatic.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Cool.

[C]

Yeah, it feels a bit more me.

[A]

Do you like gangster? Kind of, like inspiring.

[D]

Don't mind it. Are you about to say the Tom Hardy one?

[A]

Oh, my God, yes.

[D]

What's that called again?

[A]

Mobland.

[D]

Mobland.

[A]

Mobland is so good. And if you like Mobland, then you're like, Mayor of Kingstown, which I'm obsessed with and watching at the moment. And then there's also the other one, Landman with Billy Bob. Like, it's so good. And Demi Moore.

[D]

So good.

[C]

I love it.

[D]

I think my dad recommended that one.

[A]

Yeah, it's a real dad show. I see that. But then also quite gangster at the same time.

[C]

Yeah. I feel I have not been watching enough tv. I feel like I have quite a bit of homework. I felt quite left out there.

[D]

We have a lot of, like, routine in our household, obviously, because I live there. I don't know if Adrian likes it, but he's part of it. And we like to. This is my way of removing myself from work. So I have this routine of, like, having a shower, going upstairs. He cuts me up an orange. And this is so specific.

[A]

When did you put your robe on? After the shower. Okay, cool.

[D]

I have my jammies on. My robe on. And then I have an arm.

[C]

Your new news. Don't you dare call them jammies.

[D]

And then he put some blueberries in there for me as well. And then we put an episode of our show on. And we very rarely watch more than one episode. And then we go to bed.

[C]

You have an orange and blueberries before you go to sleep. And then you watch a TV show.

[D]

Yeah. And then I say to Axel, do you need to do a puppy wee? And then he goes out to the toilet. And then we go to bed every single night. Without a doubt.

[A]

So good. So, so good. Okay, Mads, you're up. Let's see. As we're sporting our go around now.

[C]

I knew I would get the name wrong, so I had to write it down because I was calling it the l'. Oreal. It is the l'. Oreal Paris Infallible Three second setting Mist. And I might suggest that they could probably shorten that name just a little.

[B]

Bit.

[C]

But I had a makeup artist use this on me late last year and my makeup did not move. And I'm talking for like a 12, 13 hour day.

[A]

We love this.

[C]

It's usually on sale at chemist warehouse or on Amazon.

[D]

Is this in a red bottle?

[C]

Yeah, it's like a red and black bottle. It's like 19. 18, $19 on sale. Which in comparison to some of the other setting myths on the market is pretty cheap. Yeah, this is like hairspray for the face. It just doesn't move. And I'm a schizy girl. Like, you know me. I was going to say club dance floor. It's been a long time since I've been on one of those. Little too long in between songs. Let's go. That's fine, Anika.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

So over the holidays, I was at the pub and I was just with like, literally all the boys. And I was listening to people popular. I know, I'm so popular. Just be like, I'm just one of them. And one of our friends, Liam, he recently got married and it was black tie. And all the guys I know. Sorry, mad.

[D]

Sorry to break the question.

[C]

Congratulations, Liam. You probably won.

[A]

But everyone had bow ties on. And the guys were just chatting amongst themselves. And I just. My ears perked up because I was just like listening to men talk about suits and, like, bow ties and things. I was like, okay, let's listen to this chat. And some of the guys were like, but how did you get the bow, like, so perfect? Have you been to a wedding before and you see a lot of wonky bow ties?

[C]

I'm usually the sassy five' three that goes up and straightens it and fixes it.

[A]

Yes. Like, literally, it's a thing. And so anyway, Liam was like, his wedding suit was from P. Johnson. He said, the hack is you tie your bow tie around your thigh, but if you've been bulking like he had, then maybe your knee and then you put it back over your head and it just sits so perfectly brilliant. And all the guys like, oh, my God, like, such boys. Yeah. And I was like, oh, is this like an actual, like a challenge you guys have when you get ready? And they're like, do we ever feel we're single men? They were like, it's so hard to get ready sometimes and put our bow tie on.

[C]

I don't have a woman to do it for me.

[A]

You don't? Exactly. And they're like, this is the hack. So I just had to swap it in.

[D]

We actually had this drama before our wedding because Adrian had a traditional bow tie that wasn't already pre made and he got his suit from Oscar Hunt and they had done it there but then undid it and then he was like, oh wait, I actually don't know how to do a bow tie. So then one of his friends actually Ash that did the speech that you guys did.

[A]

Oh, we love Ash. Hi Ash.

[C]

Ash's wife actually sent me a DM and said Ash threw thrilled with the shout out.

[A]

Yeah, we love him.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

And he did it around his leg as well today.

[C]

Amazing.

[D]

Adrian's for him.

[A]

Yeah, that's a really good heck.

[D]

There you go. So if you are getting married and you've got to pass on that, that tip to your groom to be. There you go.

[C]

Next, we're diving into Pinterest top three trend predictions for fashion. But that will be right after a word from today's sponsor.

[D]

So to kick us off, we've got a quote from Louise from Pinterest about what the 2026 Pinterest predicts report tells us about what people are looking for right now. The trends from this year's report tell us that people are craving comfort, authenticity and grounded optimism in a world that feels increasingly fast and often noisy. What's driving this is a desire for individuality and self preservation. We're moving away from one size fits all aesthetics. In 2026, we'll see people put their own unique spin on the trends, ensuring that personal expression is front and center. So now that we've got that bit of background for these trends, let's jump into the top three fashion trends, with our first one being Glamorati. So Louise describes this one as the return of unapologetic power dressing. Think sculpted shoulders, funnel necks, bold tailoring, and statement gold. The data backs it up, too, with searches for 80s luxury on Pinterest being up 225% and searches for baggy suits up 90%. According to Louise, this trend is actually the number one indexing trend in Australia, meaning it's resonating at a higher rate here compared to Pinterest users worldwide, which I think is kind of interesting because we've obviously had a little pre look at some of these, and some of them, like, oh, that feels a little bit more American. But knowing this is very much Australian is interesting. So why do we think we're drawn to this trend particularly?

[A]

Wow. Saint Laurent did it first, baby.

[C]

Oh, yeah. Bella Hadid on that Runway, baby girl.

[A]

Oh, my goodness. I'm literally envisioning her right now. Essie's 25 runaway, slick back bun, big bowl glasses, old suit on.

[C]

Talk dirty to me.

[A]

She was just empowering, like the female archetype. And I feel like we are now seeing such a resurgence of, like, corporate core power dressing, like 80s dressings, bold silhouettes, and even, like, looking to Australian brands like Victoria and Woods and Camilla and Mark. I love how they will always incorporate suits. Key tailoring, really sharp tailoring and alter, like, collections. I think it's a solid symbol and nod to, like, the working woman, which.

[C]

We are all here for 1,000%. And I think anytime you talk tailoring, whether it's, like, really tight, you know, petite tailoring or like, oversized, oversized dressing, I don't think is often correlated to tailoring. But so much of what makes something oversized and still incredibly flattering or correct on the shape is its tailoring. And any time I see tailoring come back around in any shape or form, I rejoice, especially when it comes to suiting, because it feels like a confidence that you get to wear. And I know there's been many times that there's been important meetings or I've had, you know, an important presentation. The way that I feel when I put on a blazer or a great tailored pair of pants, I feel so powerful. So I'm excited to see this back. I mean, I have to personally be a bit careful. I think when you're a petite gal wearing something oversized, like, not to, you know, shrink yourself in it, you know, I think the length is important. But tall girls in a great oversized blazer, I'M so jealous.

[D]

I also love that it's such a timeless trend as well. I think regardless of what fit is trending at the time.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

I think more recently, we've gone a little bit more fitted, probably in 2025, I think 23, 24, we were at that more oversized blazer, and then it kind of shifted the other way for a little bit.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

But I'm really happy to see that these trends always seem to come back into the trend cycle quite quickly.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

So it's just one of those things that can live in your wardrobe until it's time to pull it back out again. It's never a date. And I think of, you know, my mom's own blazers that I ended up stealing out of her wardrobe, and I would still wear those now. Yeah, same with coats.

[A]

I agree. I feel like every season, I will happily invest in a blazer. And, like, for me, suiting is something that I do feel powerful. I do feel really confident. But I even love how we're also seeing a few more contemporary brands and brands that maybe younger girls would look to as well, like St. Agne and one of others. They are really incorporating tailoring, sharp suiting into a lot of their collections, but making them quite cool.

[C]

Penny's another good one, too.

[A]

Oh, ye.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I think when they're playing with color or they're playing with texture, like doing a pinstripe or something through it, it just helps give it a little bit more edge. I also think you just get such versatility from a suit. You wear that blazer with a cute little cami and jeans and a heel for Friday date night with the girls, or you're wearing it with, like, a great skirt and a white collared shirt for work and, you know, important meeting. I'm like, you get versatility and miles out of it. Cost per wear is not an issue with suiting.

[A]

Exactly.

[D]

Agree with that.

[A]

And glamorati can just mean so many things as well. Like, I think we've seen the resurgence of sequins and glitz and glam, and it hasn't been all about, like, you know, just wearing tailoring, like, what makes women feel powerful. And I feel like now we're seeing so much more optimism in our looks. Like, whether it's sharp shoulders, glitter, glam, anything. Anything goes. Which I feel like I'm so here for.

[C]

Hottest I've ever felt was actually at a hens, where we had to dress up in a whole bunch of 80s bridesmaid dresses as a joke. I was like, everyone was like, low key. You should probably keep that dress.

[B]

It looks quite good.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

So, you know, Phoebe and Ellie Bul, if you're listening to this, I'd love to actually come back and pick that up now that 80s are back.

[D]

All right, next we have Poet Core, which Louise describes as a romantic, bookish aesthetic with oversized knits, vintage blazers, and analog accessories. Searches on Pinterest for the poet aesthetic are up 175% in a cross category trend that romanticizes the intellectual and creative life. Does this trend surprise us?

[C]

It did initially, when I first was reading through all of the results and search terms, but the more that I sat on it, I was like, hello, Booktok's going off.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

So maybe it's just this romanticization of being an intellect and snuggling in to read the book and, like, kind of looking like someone who would read. Not that I think someone who reads has a particular aesthetic, but clearly, like, we've kind of created one here at.

[A]

It's really like this almost whimsical kind of, like, mystery, how they've kind of put this whole trend together. Like, when I think of it and when I actually dove a little bit deeper, I think Chloe, I think the Boho revival, I'm seeing still a lot of the lace coming through those whimsical silhouettes. But what I love is how they're making being an intellect cool, even if it's a bit Shakespearean.

[C]

What I love about this trend, too, is it's so easy to thrift through this trend, like with oversized knits and vintage blazers kind of being that thing. It's not something that you need to go and buy something super expensive. Like, these are things that you could find at, you know, your local opportunities or consignment stores. Like, they're readily available items that you can mix and match within your wardrobe.

[D]

I was trying to think of where I've seen this trend playing out, and I actually think I'm recognizing it more in menswear. I'm recognizing the glasses and the knit and the kind of bookish type.

[C]

I would have called that boyfriend core. Yeah, yeah.

[D]

Or Poet call.

[C]

Poet call Pinterest would call it. Do you know, when I think of this for women, I think of, like, evermore folklore, Taylor Swift era.

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Yes. Yeah. But I think I'm seeing it play out a lot more in menswear than I am in women's wear in Australia currently. But maybe that's just seasonal because we're obviously in opposite seasons to the U.S. so maybe that's why? I'm not really feeling like I'm seeing this play out here, but five to.

[C]

Six months time, we'll all be in our oversized knees.

[A]

Exactly.

[D]

Yeah. Giving Pro Trend 3 is broached and laced up. So this is our final trend in the fashion category. But this one is about accessories, which Louise says will take on a new life this year. Across two trends, we're going to be seeing brooches, crystal clip ons, and vintage pins become all the rage. Almost an evolution of the bag charm trend that we saw last year. And intricate lace details will be huge too on Pinterest. Gen Z and Millennials are searching for lace, nails, belts, trims, etc.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Do we think we're going to be incorporating this into our wardrobe? Do we already have some of these things in our wardrobe?

[C]

I think previously I would have thought broach and thought of my 81 year old grandmother and my great aunt Faye, who I adore and were both very fashionable chic women. But then hilariously, I saw a brooch on friend of the podcast and my friend Elliot Garno, I was like, that is so beautiful. On a blazer of his. And he was like 20 bucks Lovisa. And I was like, he probably could have told me it was $10,000 Tiffany. And I would have believed him because he paired it so well. But I loved this idea of like just having a really beautiful plain black blazer that you put like a great kind of like embellished brooch on. And it's kind of like wearing a statement earring, which I don't personally love a statement earring on me, but I feel that maybe I could get around a brooch on a nice silk blouse or.

[A]

You're gonna love this because when I was in Paris last year, I saw all of these like really sharp, put together Parisian woman in power suits with a tie on and a really chic brooch just sitting on the tie. And I was like, chic, yes. Like so chic, honey. And that could be Chicago. That could be like a vintage number. Like that could be something you thrift, it could be something you've been handed down. But I feel like the brooch is kind of. Last year we saw so much hardware and I think there was a lot of hardware on outfitting. Sometimes it was almost too bold of a statement. But what I like about the brooches is it's kind of leaning into logo Mania and Copernie did it really well. Like they had simple white tanks, simple white tees, and these brooches that we're like if you know, you know, like that's Capone kind of vibes.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And so I think it's a really cool way to kind of lean into less logos. But like if you know, you know it's going to be a new trend.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But again, a great thing. We could thrift as well.

[C]

Yeah. And also Etsy.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

You would be able to pick up brooches all over Etsy or ebay as well as your local thrift stores.

[D]

Popsy's handed me down quite a few clip on earrings and I think there's some brooches in there as well. She actually has a spider broach that I despise.

[A]

Oh my God.

[D]

I'm here for her and she loves spiders, so she scares the shit out of me every time I say it. But I really love that this trend really ties into current trends at the moment like the silk or satin skirts or, you know, lace pieces. I'm really looking forward to seeing this trend play out. As you said before, like these corporate dresses that are using brooches and these other accessories to glamorize their outfits a little bit more or make them feel a little bit more feminine. I do love that, that use of it.

[C]

Yeah. And the fact that you can add it to things that you already own. Yeah. Any trend where you feel like you're on trend without having to overly invest. I always really like because it allows you to be playful and experimental with fashion without having to go and spend a fortune or to go and buy something you wouldn't wear.

[A]

Totally.

[C]

Okay, next up, we're going to dive into Pinterest top three beauty trends for 2026. But that will be right after a word from today's sponsor.

[B]

Summer's in full swing and if you're hosting or heading to a catch up, this is your friendly reminder to get your drinks sorted early. The experts at Dan Murphy's are across what's trending in beer, wine, spirits and ready to drink options. So you'll know exactly what to grab. Just download the app to scroll through their picks or ask in store and remember to choose to drink wise. Thank you so much to Dan Murphy's for making this episode of stylish possible.

[C]

Trend number one in the beauty category is glitchy glam. I thought it would have been glitzy but it's glitchy. Louise says this trend is the antithesis of the clean girl aesthetic and that it celebrates originality through experimentation and bold attention grabbing looks. Think two tone lips, mismatched nails and bold Color clashes. It's no surprise then, that searches for avant garde makeup are up 270%.

[D]

Wow.

[C]

Have you noticed this aesthetic shift, personally, in the beauty space, as you've been observing?

[D]

I wouldn't say I've noticed it in my age group, but I think in Gen Z, yes. And also I think the age of Zara Larson at the moment, a lot of seeing a lot of her on TikTok. But also we've just had the Lady Gaga tour in Australia as well, so I think those more close up little monsters. Yeah.

[C]

That's such a good shout.

[A]

I definitely have been saying it. And more of like. That makes so much sense to me now because it's kind of coming up in my algorithm. Like, a lot of bold looks, a lot of mismatched looks.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And it kind of took me back to, like, King Kylie's era when, like, you know, the different lip colors, like the lip liners and maybe lip stains, but that was maybe how I would get around it.

[C]

Also, with season three of Euphoria coming out this April, Donnie Davey is the makeup artist who's done Euphoria both season one and season two, and she actually has a makeup brand, Half Magic. It's stocked at Mecca. She plays with so much glitter and color and contrast and gems. Yes.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I mean, really, I think that we're going to see this accelerate a lot more once Euphoria comes out, if they stick to the similar. I mean, they're not in high school anymore, so maybe they won't have as much fun with the makeup looks, but I can't see them departing from where they've been so experimental and it being such an integral part of that costuming.

[D]

I also love to see a younger age group experiment with makeup and play with makeup, because I think we did that in our late teens, early 20s.

[C]

Just ask Candy. Yum, yum.

[D]

And it's really fun.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

And it's a really good way to learn how you like to do your makeup, so I'm all for it.

[C]

I agree with you, Jo. It's so nice seeing beauty become expressive again. And it doesn't mean that you have to be the one to go and wear the crazy liner. Right. Like, if wearing a purple eyeshadow and a red lip feels like too much for you, there's great products out there that you can go and play with color with. I know Mecca Max have the zoom shadow sticks and also the tipped liners as well. When I worked at Mecca, so many girls would just do, like, the cobalt blue, but it Would be like, a really subtle wing.

[A]

Nice.

[C]

You could wear that and not be like, oh, you're like crazy into color and, like, you've got this big, bold green eye. It's just like, having little fun, experimental touches as well. There's some really, really cool brands, though. As I mentioned, Donnie Davey is one of them. I actually had the pleasure of hanging out with her when she launched at Mecca in 2024.

[D]

Cool.

[C]

But she has such a passion for color and glitter and experimentation with makeup and with people who wear it. Also, is a Maya, another brand that's at Mecca. And then, of course, Pat McGrath, who kind of feels like the queen of color. She's stocked online and at Sephora as well. Trend number two, Zamp romantic. Okay, so Louise says this trend is all about dark gothic glamour with jet black nails and moody makeup. This trend reinforces that we're moving away from clean girl minimalist beauty. In 2026, searches on Pinterest are up 180% for gothic coffin nails and 160% for dark romantic makeup. Why do you think this trend is coming through now?

[D]

I'm gonna be honest. I don't see this happening current. Like, I haven't noticed this currently, but maybe I'm just late to noticing it. I would like to see where we're at in a year's time, like at the end of 2026. Yeah, I'd love to see has this played out a bit more. Because at the moment, Mecca's top sellers, and I checked, are still your sunscreen, your lip balm, your eyebrow gel, your concealer. Like, it's very much your clean girl aesthetic. I'm not quite seeing that trend reflected in what people are actually purchasing right now.

[C]

Yeah, maybe not in purchase, but I can't help but feel like my algorithm on TikTok has been a little bit more like doing your makeup for your star sign or doing your makeup based on your rising. Have you seen this trend?

[D]

How am I not seeing this?

[A]

I have not seen this either.

[C]

So because I'm an Aries, it's like you should be doing liner. You should be doing, like, a dark smudged eye. Like they say to do it based on what your rising is or your star sign.

[A]

Interesting.

[C]

And so I'm gonna look this up. I feel that maybe some of these are coming through there because I definitely feel like I'm seeing more like fox's eyes and, like, a darker eye makeup look coming through.

[A]

Okay. I low key feel like I've been doing this. Like, am I the Contemporary Morticia Addams.

[C]

Yes, you are.

[A]

I actually think I am. Like, my go to nails are jet.

[C]

Black, My hair jet black, my hair jet black. My nails dark blooded red.

[A]

And what do we love to do? A smoky winged eye. We've been leaning right into the eyeliner lately.

[C]

Are we saying we were ahead of this trip?

[A]

I think we created it.

[D]

Were we earlier done this this entire time?

[C]

Okay. I don't have coffin nails. I'm still short back and sides, and I will never do depart from those.

[A]

I think this is all about us.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

We are Louise's inspiration, but there are.

[C]

Also a lot of, like, TV and cultural moments that I think are happening at the moment that could lend themselves to this. Like, we've got Wuthering Heights. We had the Frankenstein film end of last year. I do think sometimes we don't realize subliminally there's a lot of, like, TV shows, characters. I mean, even wicked when we think about some of those looks there. I mean, none of us are gonna go paint ourselves green and do the dark eye, but we might do the nail and the eye, you know, inspo look. I think what we saw on the red carpet from them and culturally there seems to be this real revival or fascination with dark gothic content. And maybe that makes sense that it kind of this trend is emerging alongside that.

[D]

That does sound a lot like my swap I did in today's episode.

[C]

Okay. Trend number three and one that I have arguably the most passionate about. It is our final beauty trend, and it is scent stacking. So thrilled to finally have you all here. According to Louise, this trend is all about layering oils and perfumes to create a signature scent. Searches on Pinterest show that Gen Z and Millennials are ditching one and done scents for bespoke notes, blending oils and perfumes to create their very own fragrance formulas. Rapid fire. Do you scent stack?

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Good girl.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Good. Great girl.

[A]

I know. Finally there, you guys. I'm finally there.

[C]

Do you have any recommendations of stack stacks that you love that work really well together?

[D]

I've done it as a swap on this podcast before, and it was the merit fragrance with the Margiela Afternoon Delight.

[B]

Beautiful.

[A]

That's right.

[C]

Yeah. And you smell heaven. We were debating whether that might have been a wedding scent.

[A]

It's.

[D]

Well, we did, but then I bought the Victoria Beckham one, which, you know how. Which I actually don't layer. I like that by itself. However, maybe now that I'm saying this out loud, I might put the Juliet has a Gun, not a perfume. Underneath, which is. What do you call it? A molecule perfume.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

So it smells different on everybody, but I might layer those two and just see how it comes across. But I'm not surprised to hear that a lot more people now are interested in having something that's uniquely them. I think that speaks to what we said at the top of the episode or what Louise's quote said at the top of the episode, that people are after a unique kind of experience and they want something that's like, authentically them.

[C]

Totally.

[D]

And having the same fragrance as someone. When you walk past them in the street, you're like, oh, they're wearing my perfume.

[C]

It does feel like a weird identity thing, doesn't it? I love that people in my life are always like, you smell so good. What are you wearing? But by nature, a lot of friends and family will then go and buy those fragrances, which is great because, like, we're not gatekeepers here. But also I'm like, no, but I liked that. That was like my little. So I like to layer for that reason that it, like adds a little MST to it.

[A]

We love that.

[D]

Yep. Rare Beauty actually just released a like, fragrance layering balm. Oh, yeah. Which you put onto your skin and then you spray your fragrance over the top of it so you can get a little bit of a different note out of existing fragrances that you already have. And also Jo loves, who was created by Jo Malone. Yes, she left actual Jo Malone. She did like a paintbrush, which is a liquid that goes on your skin and then you can layer over the top of that. So that's another way that you could scent stack without using two different perfumes. Yeah, it's just a different way to use fragrance.

[C]

One that I love as well is glossier you. The original one. Because it's a beautiful fragrance on its own. So it doesn't feel like you're buying a fragrance to aid another fragrance. You can wear it on its own. It's stunning. But layering it is absolutely beautiful when you hit it, like winning combo with those two. Another hot tip that I have is a good body moisturizer can be used as a base layer. So my girlfriend, Rebecca Harding has Louis that is like this beautiful orange blossom based scent, her body moisturizer. But that with anything that's got kind of like, you know, those fresh kind of springtime floral notes is like sunshine in like fragrance format. When you pair that with something.

[A]

That's what I've been doing. That was actually, I think being a novice to this, I was like how can I get around this and then actually just make it kind of more a slow kind of burn. So I actually started with the Louis body balms. Been layering it with osmanthus 19 by Le Labo and it is such a beautiful fresh summery smell because I'm quite an Oodie Woody girl. Like I love Aesop Hill. Is that how you say it? Hill? H y.

[C]

No, you said it with your chest.

[A]

So I'm going, let's go with it. And it's so good. It's a scent that now my mum wears and my mother in law's wears and then also James wears. So it's quite a unisex scent. But I love this because I feel like it's kind of more fresh. Yeah, it's really beautiful.

[D]

And if you just want to use a lotion for longevity purposes, you could just opt for a fragrance free body lotion like Cerave for example.

[A]

Yeah. Great shout.

[C]

All right, lifestyle Jo, kick us off.

[D]

Okay, trend one, pen pals. That's exactly what you think it is. Louise says this trend will see handwritten letters and decorated stationery revive slow meaningful connections in a digital world. Forget your DMs because 2026 will see a letter writing renaissance as younger generations seek non digital ways to not only connect with others, but also exude self expression and creativity. Is this just because they're banned on social media? I don't know. Have either of you written a letter lately?

[C]

I do love a handwritten note and I have. I actually wrote a little note on a dessert for someone who is not having a great time. I just did a little note on the top of their dessert takeaway box and left it. It's one of my neighbours and I left it at her door.

[A]

You are the ultimate sweetie treaty, aren't you? That was really cute.

[C]

It took everything for me not to have a little nibble of the crepe that was inside.

[A]

I love a handwritten note. Like I am such a big, big soppy wuss. Like anything sentimental. Like every year James and I like for our birthdays, we'll write each other a really beautiful card. Yeah, some. Oh, and I wouldn't call it a letter. It's definitely a card. But it's just like I think the ultimate sign of respect and care and value. Like when someone actually takes the time to handwrite. Because I don't know about you guys, my handwriting is atrocious.

[C]

Like especially in the digital age. I feel like it's just gotten worse and worse every year.

[A]

It's so bad. And I feel like now kids being able to actually sit down, get away from their devices when we live in such a digital age and actually reconnect. Like, kudos. I'm all for this, but I really want to know what their handwriting is. Like, I got my pen license and I lost my pen license, like, straight away.

[D]

I can't relate. I've got the neatest handwriting I've ever seen.

[A]

Of course you do.

[D]

Sorry.

[C]

I'm not surprised.

[D]

In my family, both my brothers have really neat handwriting too.

[C]

Do you love a handwritten note, Jo?

[D]

I like a card.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

I'm not gonna lie. Stamps are pretty expensive, though, so I don't know whether anyone's recognized that, but, yeah, they are. They're pricey.

[C]

So maybe to be hand.

[D]

Yeah, you're just handing it over. But I don't know if a card classifies because I think we. A lot of us do cards. Like, we still do a handwritten card.

[C]

I don't think a lot of people do cards, really.

[A]

I have seen that many cards where people rely on the, like, stamped and printed message, like, to Annika, Happy birthday, signed off by someone.

[C]

A girlfriend of mine uploaded last month at Christmas time, a card that her dad had given her. And it just said Merry Christmas inside. And it was just the one that was in the card and actually put anything in. It's funny. Yeah.

[A]

People are lazy. They rely on that.

[D]

I think because I grew up in a card family, it's always expected that we would have a card for someone's birthday. So that's just something that is maybe ingrained in me, but maybe that's not a thing in most families. And so that's not something that gets carried through.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

But, yeah, I'm so used to getting a card and Adrian's a card person as well.

[C]

I would love to bring back a letter. When my grandma was passing away, my aunt actually worked with her for every single grandchild to be given a handwritten letter from her. And yeah, that's like, so special. So, I mean, usually I reserve pen pals for men that just text you and never ask you on a date, but I much prefer the kind that was my grandmother's letter. It might not have to be as much back and forth, but I do think, let's bring back handwritten notes.

[D]

Okay. And giving them in person so we don't have to buy stamps.

[C]

Yes, yes.

[D]

Or rely on ozposition.

[C]

Ideally at a wine bar. Even bloody better.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Get a vino and a letter.

[D]

Okay. So pen pals is back Trend two funhouse interiors. Louise describes this as circus inspired interiors with bold stripes, harlequin checks, surrealist shapes, homes that entertain. It's all about incorporating circus motifs into modern home decor with just a hint of clownish charm. On Pinterest, searches for circus interior are up 130%.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

It amazes me. Not these, like, fundamentals as words don't surprise me, but the name circus, like the term circus surprises.

[D]

Clownish charm I didn't think I was gonna use today.

[C]

Circus inspired and clownish is probably where I'm like, ah, interesting.

[D]

Yeah. Where do we think this is coming from?

[C]

I feel like I'm seeing it a lot in, like, those upholstered benches in kitchens or in kind of like striped cushions and things like that. I feel like I'm seeing it come through in that regard.

[A]

Yeah, I agree so much in, like, soft furnishings. Like, my go to for towels is the brand Bayner. And all I can say is their checkered towels. Like, they are so iconic.

[C]

They're really good towels too.

[A]

Oh, they are the most beautiful quality. I freaking love them. And then even, like, Tekla, they are so well known for their stripe. But then we've also got Sutran, which does, like, so many beautiful pop colors that are designed to mix and match so your bread can become like, like quite its own. Space with a lot of personality. I see it kind of playing out into homewares.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

What's so funny is we're seeing it across fashion, beauty, and home here that we're just moving away from this, like, Kim and Kanye. House clean girl. Like, yeah. You know, it's like we've gone so extreme one way that we, like, want to go so extreme the other way of having, like, bulk personality again. I'm seeing people with, like, leopard print, like, curtains now. And, like, people are like, like, getting quite experimental because I think they've gone. We went so far one way, they're like, no, I want to swing back the other.

[D]

Agree. I'm seeing lots of stripes and checkers.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

But I think if that is too much for your own personal style, and I think if you have a defined decor style in your home, this trend feels like it would be more fitting to, like, an eclectic space.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

But I think things that you could apply from this same aesthetic would be like, like scalloped edges or colored or textured lamps. Like, you know, those velvet lamps that are, like dark green or blue or something like that. These pieces that maybe are a statement on their own.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

But you don't have a whole Heap of this, like circus inspired stuff to make your space look a bit mismatched in a way that just doesn't fit with your style. And I think vintage pieces as well could fall under this category. Like, think of vintage mirrors that you would maybe see in like a circus. Like, you know, the mirror rooms.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Haunted house.

[C]

I would secretly like. I feel like in my dream house, my walk in wardrobe would look like that room of mirrors.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

You'd never find it. Yeah.

[C]

Look cool.

[D]

I think it also maybe is a little bit that nostalgia piece.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Circuses feel very like 80s 90s to me maybe. But they've obviously been around for a very long time.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

But I think that nostalgia that we're very much. We've spoken about a thousand times on this podcast now. It just that came to mind when I thought, where is this coming from?

[A]

Yeah, I just feel like it's so much more playful as well. Like, I think it's bringing, like you guys said, bringing personality back. We've been so minimal. Let's go maximal. Let's have more fun with like our homes, our furnishings, and like our surroundings as well.

[C]

1,000%. Yeah.

[D]

Our last one is Mystic Outlands. The third and final trend here. Louise says that in 2026, travel will become mythic. Think misty ruins, spiral rock formations, and landscapes that feel like folklore. This trend sees people moving beyond passive escapes instead chasing whimsical and fantastical landscapes. To pinpoint a location, searches for Scottish Highlands aesthetic are actually up by a whopping 465%.

[C]

Is that the highest percentage increase we're talking about?

[A]

That is wild.

[D]

In 2025, we definitely saw the rise of Etsy witches, which is something we've spoken about. Quite a lot of detail. And beauty and fashion have been taking inspiration from spirituality lately as well. But does this feel like an extension of that? I haven't really ever thought that much about travel trends, but now I'm thinking about. I'm like, why haven't I thought about this a little bit more?

[A]

It is just like so weirdly specific. I'm all for Mother Nature and celebrating her in all her glory, but this one for me, I'm just really confused by what is it about this attraction that people are like, like 465% up in searches. Like people are wanting to go to. Where was it? Scotland?

[D]

Yeah, the Scottish Highlands.

[A]

To the Scotland Highlands.

[D]

I thought maybe this is linked to like Outlander or something. I don't know.

[A]

These.

[D]

I was looking, I was reaching.

[C]

I think it's as simple as Escapism. It's somewhere that feels beautiful and poetic and otherworldly, that doesn't feel like you're stepping into, like, what you've seen all over Instagram or, like, the hotel that's been flogged 4,000 times on tick Tock. It's like, okay. There's something about stillness and beautiful mists and hearing birds sing. Like, it feels like a Disney film. Like, see this? I don't know.

[A]

Do you know what? It actually takes me back to growing up in New Zealand when, like, Lord of the Rings was being filmed and New Zealand became this, like, tourist attraction. Like, people were like, oh, my God, New Zealand. It's, like, green and mystical. Guys, New Zealand's still there. You can hop on over. It's probably a lot easier and accessible.

[C]

To get to be there to greet you. And on that note, aunt and crew is not sponsored by New Zealand tourism, but she could be. I've never been. I'd actually love to go with you.

[A]

Sorry.

[C]

Stylish takes New Zealand.

[A]

Oh, guys, we've got such a fan base in New Zealand.

[D]

Is it New Zealand? Is that what they call it over there? We've got visit Melbourne, visit. I don't know what Australia's tourism is.

[A]

I don't know.

[D]

Whatever you are in New Zealand, happy to have you as a sponsor. Recorder show over there.

[A]

Yeah, we're on our way.

[C]

And call us, that is all for this week's episode of Style. Thank you very much for joining us. And of course, thank you very much to you, Annika Joshi Smith and Joanna Fleming, and you, Mads. Thank you. Sorry if we have the sillies today. First step back. It feels like it was just bound to happen.

[A]

It's like the first day at school.

[C]

It is. Hope our training wheels come off. Remember, you can drop us an email anytime. It's the same email as always. Style-ishamelessmedia.com or you can slide on into our DMs over tylishpod. We can't forget to thank the lovely Shameless media team, head of podcast Lucy Hunt and someone I am sure would love a stylish takes New Zealand. Our senior podcast producer, Kate Emmerburgh, who you guessed is a Kiwi. We'll be right back with you next Wednesday. See you then.

[D]

Bye.

This podcast was recorded on Wurundjeri land. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

Hey, it's Ruby here, the host of Inherited. I'm popping up to let you know that Inherited is actually running four life lessons episodes over Christmas and New year's right through to January next year. I find that this time of year is very reflective. I often look back at the last 12 months, at what I've achieved, what's happened in my life, and it feels really good to take a beat at the end of the year. Which is why our Life Lessons episodes are so fitting as well. I adored recording my very own Life Lessons episode with Annabel Lee from Shameless and the E. House podcast. She joined me to reflect on the takeaway I had from 2025, and for me it was a bit of an unpredictable year, personally, so keep your eyes out for that episode in the podcast feed. I was also joined by online creator Dani Duncan, who has created her Global Child Free Community Online, as well as authors Claire Stevens and Braylee. You can listen to all of our Inherited conversations in full. Just search Inherited on your favorite podcast app. And we're on Instagram and TikTok at Inherited the Podcast.

We'll be back with another episode next Tuesday, A Life Lesson. So I hope to see you then, and I hope you're getting some relaxing time over the Chrissy and New Year's break. Thank you so much for listening to inherited in 2025.

I appreciate it.
