Closet & Pocket - Season 1 Episode 11 - Here to Stay or Going Away in 2020

The Closet & Pocket podcast, where I discuss everything you can wear on you and carry with you. On today's episode, I cover the trends from 2019 that I think are either “here to stay” or “going away” in 2020. Show links: Rumored Jordan x Dior collaboration: https://footwearnews.com/2019/focus/athletic-outdoor/dior-nike-air-jordan-1-collaboration-1202872387/ Bark & Jack “Has the Rolex Bubble Burst?”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD3nbWcb7VQ&t=298s “Anything Goes” going away in 2020? Maybe it’ll just morph into a twist on the classics. From GQ’s Will Welch: “A Suit for the Suitless Era”: https://www.gq.com/story/suit-for-suitless-era-editors-letter-september-2019 Have a question?
