If you’ve been trapped in an endless loop of black, beige, and safe corporate neutrals, this episode is your ultimate permission slip to start having fun with your clothes again - Melbourne stylist Mattie Gouman is here to help us take on that bold, bright Scandi energy.
Leigh sits down with Mattie to break down everything she spotted on the ground at Copenhagen Fashion Week, from maximalist accessories and print-clashing to the vibrant colours popping off overseas right now (think chartreuse, cobalt blue, and fire-engine red). They chat about how to embrace a "more is more" mindset with pieces you already own, the best Australian hidden-gem brands for playful dressing, and why you don't need a designer budget to stand out. Plus, Mattie shares a surprisingly simple, game-changing t-shirt styling trick that completely blew Leigh’s mind.
And stick around for Bougie to Budget, where Mattie breaks down the ultimate oversized denim jackets for every price point, and Leigh brings three effortless maxi skirts to kickstart your spring wardrobe refresh.
