    Top Holiday and Winter Trends You Need to Know 2024

    Welcome, Fashion Besties! It's officially the most fabulous time of the year, and this week, we’re serving you the ultimate holiday and winter trend guide for 2024.   Whether you're planning your holiday outfits, updating your winter wardrobe, or simply avoiding seasonal fashion pitfalls, this episode is your stylish survival kit.   Host Holly Katz dives into the must-haves of the season, the brands and boutiques to know, and—of course—identifies the most egregious winter fashion crimes to help you stay ahead of the curve.   Trust and believe, this episode will make you the best dressed at every event and sleigh all day, (and all winter long!) #DUH (link)   HOT TIP: Head on over to Holly’s Pinterest board for this episode and see all products discussed in the flesh for your shopping pleasure.     Key Talking Points   1. Sweater Weather Must-Haves #nonnegosh Holly shares her love for cozy yet chic sweaters from brands like Toccin and Favorite Daughter, highlighting timeless pieces like cashmere pullovers and chunky knits. You can't go wrong buying one for you and one for someone else. #TRUTH   She also adores Lingua Franca's custom embroidered sweaters with phrases like “Aprés All Day.” These pieces are not just warm—they're wardrobe investments that elevate your winter style and are hot-ticket gift items for past seasons that are still going strong.      2. Boot Trends That Work for Every Occasion Winter boots are a wardrobe staple that will never die. Classic riding boots, cowboy boots (short or mid-calf styles), and heeled boots in fun colors like burgundy or navy are here to stay. Get on the boot train; it won't let you down.   Brands like Dolce Vita, Freebird, and Nordstrom's curated collections take center stage. Think you can get by without these winter essentials? Fashion. Crime. #weloveboots 3. Hot Blazers & Chic Outerwear The blazer game is strong this winter as it's been in past seasons, with leather and cropped styles leading the charge. Holly calls out Princess Polly for affordable faux leather options and highlights a chic tweed blazer from Anine Bing.   She also warns against oversized, long shapeless jackets that add unnecessary bulk—a fashion crime we can all avoid with the right alterations.   4. Holiday Party Dresses Sparkly “festive tops”? No, ma’am. Show-stopping dresses from boutiques like Reformation, Saks, and Alice & Olivia? Yes ma'am.   Off-the-shoulder A-line dresses, pleated full skirts, and leather midi dresses are some of our top picks for the festive season. Let us help you get out of your comfort zone. Pair them with statement earrings and an evening clutch for full-on glam. Worried about a shoe? You can't go wrong with a metallic. They go with everything.    5. Accessory Alert: Bags and Belts These three main bags should be in your closet...and your life: a boss tote, an everyday handbag, and a metallic or fun-colored evening clutch. #DOIT   She also insists on having at least two belts—one skinny and one wide—to instantly upgrade any outfit. Black and brown are the basics. Extra credit for white or a fun color.   6.​ Tops That Elevate Your Wardrobe Versatile, high-quality tops that can effortlessly transition from casual to dressy will never let you down. Don't compromise color or price for fit. You get what you pay for.    Everlane and Hampden Clothing are great options for stylish blouses with clean lines and unique fabrics. Start small and figure out what looks best for your body type.    Suggestions include but are not limited to: silk or silk-blend tops, billowy sleeves, and cap-sleeve blouses that layer beautifully under jackets or sweaters. It's a must for a cohesive wardrobe whether you're working from home or not.     Fashion Crimes to Avoid   • Using a cheap, distorted mirror as your “style guide.” Invest in a proper full-length mirror with adequate lighting!   • Opting for boring, too-long, oversized blazers that you think hide your figure. Get them altered to emphasize your waist.    • Settling for predictable “festive tops” and clothing that you feel you can only wear once a year at holiday parties. Opt for a fab dress and don't be afraid to be the best dressed person in the room. Also? Sequins during the day with jeans? Yes, please!     Wrap-Up   HOT TIP: Head on over to Holly’s Pinterest board for this episode and see all products discussed in the flesh for your shopping pleasure.   Thank you so much for joining us in this stylish celebration of the season while addressing the pitfalls that can sneak into your winter wardrobe. (Link)   Whether it’s elevating your look with luxe layers or accessorizing with intention, Holly is here to ensure you avoid fashion crimes before they happen.     Don’t forget: fashion and style are your friends, not your enemies!   Happiest of holidays to you, and let us know what you want to hear.

    Style Dilemmas and Solutions for Women Over 50 | EP 225

    Fashion Besties Over 50: Do Not Miss This Episode!   This week, Holly Katz, your go-to style expert and personal stylist, is here to solve all your fashion dilemmas.   LISTEN NOW! (link TBD)   Are you stuck in a wardrobe rut? Feeling like your look isn’t keeping up with your fabulous life? Could your wardrobe stand some updating?   Don’t worry! This episode is packed with game-changing advice to help you evolve your style, feel confident, and celebrate your body at every age.   From bra fitting to TikTok makeup tutorials (yes, you can learn SO much!) and even updating those “comfortable” shoes, this episode dishes out the solutions to all your style challenges, mishaps, and misfortunes.    Plus, Holly shares a personal update about her health journey, her fabulous wigs, and how embracing change has fueled her confidence and creativity.   Congratulations fashion besties; your most fashionable era starts NOW!     ---   Key Topics Covered   1. Wardrobe Solutions for Evolving Bodies   Your wardrobe can be your best friend or your worst enemy as your body changes.   If you’re wearing babydoll tops with overly loose fits, elastic hems, or flowy fabrics thinking they’re disguising your midsection—think again! These styles often highlight problem areas rather than camouflage them.   Learn why defining your body type is the first step to dressing for confidence, and get actionable tips on how to balance proportions, define your waistline, and say goodbye to shapeless tops that do you no favors.     2. Game-Changing Hair & Makeup Tips   Thinking of trying a new look? Small changes, like experimenting with blush placement or updating your hairstyle, can take years off your appearance. #justtryit   Plus, Holly shares her own experience with wigs and how they've allowed her to explore fresh styles while embracing her health journey with positivity.     3. Undergarments Make the Outfit     Did you know your bra could be aging you? #Yikes   An ill-fitting bra is not just uncomfortable—it can ruin the shape of your clothes and even make you look older.   We break down the importance of professional bra fittings, why you need one every couple of years, and how the right bra can transform not only your waist but also your self-esteem.     4. Shoes, Bags, and Accessories That Modernize Your Look   It’s time to ditch the “practical but frumpy” shoes and oversized, outdated handbags.   Accessories can make or break an outfit. Dated eyeglass frames, chunky, plastic costume jewelry, or faded, stretched-out shoes can add years to your appearance.   Holly gives you the insider scoop on stylish, comfortable alternatives that will keep you looking fresh and fabulous.     5. How to Avoid Common Fashion Mistakes   Fashion missteps can sneak into any wardrobe, but we're here to help you spot them before you walk out the door.    This week, she dives into the most common fashion mistakes women over 50 make and provides practical solutions to ensure your style is always fresh, flattering, and fabulous. Learn what to avoid and what to embrace to look effortlessly modern and chic.     ---   **A Personal Touch from Holly:**     This week’s episode also highlights Holly’s openness about her ongoing health journey. With her trademark honesty and humor, she discusses how wearing wigs has been a game-changer—not just for style but for reclaiming her confidence and self-expression.   Her story is a testament to the transformative power of fashion and self-care.     ---   **Your Fashion Lifeline:**     At the Fashion Crimes Podcast, we are the best fashion friends you never knew you needed! We believe that Fashion Over 50 can be your most stylish and empowering chapter yet.   Holly Katz is here to remind you that a little style effort can go a long way.

    This week, Holly Katz brings you an incredible guest on the Fashion Crimes Podcast —Stacey Bell, a creative director and personal stylist based here in the ATL.   MAKE SURE to tune into our FCP Youtube channel for this exclusive interview!   With her studio, The Style Sanctum, Stacey specializes in helping women aged 40-70 redefine their style and embrace midlife transitions with confidence. #YYAAASS   Her unique journey from retail to personal styling has allowed her to empower countless women to feel their best.     Holly: "What do you consider the number one issue people face when they come to you for styling help?" Stacey: "For women between 40 and 70, it’s often about navigating midlife transitions. There’s a shift, and many feel a bit lost as to who they are and how to express that through their style."   Whether you're navigating new life stages or simply seeking wardrobe inspiration, Stacey’s insights are exactly what you need!     KEY TALKING POINTS   **Stacey Bell’s Journey to The Style Sanctum**     Stacey's love for fashion started with her grandfather, a men's clothier, and grew as she worked in various retail environments. After moving to Atlanta, she founded The Style Sanctum—a serene, private space where clients can comfortably explore new styles with her expert guidance.   From her beginnings in resale to her current high-end consignment studio, Stacey has cultivated a space that offers luxury, practicality, and personalized service for all women.     **Addressing Midlife Style Challenges**     Stacey works with clients navigating the transition from 40 and up, helping those find a renewed sense of self through clothing.   She understands the unique challenges of this age group, such as body changes, shifts in lifestyle, and evolving fashion needs.   Stacey's goal is to make her clients feel purposeful and confident in their wardrobe choices, turning what can often feel like a chore into a transformative experience.     **Conquering Body Image and Finding Confidence**     Body image is a common struggle, especially post-menopause. Stacey shares her personal experiences and offers practical advice on how to dress in a way that embraces rather than hides your body.   She believes that confidence stems from wearing clothes that fit well and align with your personal style, which can radiate positive energy and uplift your entire outlook at home, work, and around your peers.      **Fashion Financials: Smart Shopping Tips**     Do you have a financial block when it comes to buying clothing? Fashion doesn’t have to break the bank. Stacey and Holly discuss the realities of rising costs in the fashion industry and how to shop smarter.     Stacey’s philosophy is rooted in finding high-quality pieces at reasonable prices, which is one of the many gifts that she brings to the table. She helps clients navigate their budgets without compromising on style, teaching them to prioritize investment pieces that offer longevity and versatility.     **The Power of Personal Style and Jewelry**     Stacey emphasizes that fashion should be about personal expression, not following trends blindly. Jewelry plays a pivotal role in completing a look, offering endless possibilities for self-expression. She encourages clients to explore different pieces, experiment, and have fun, reminding them that there’s no right or wrong way to accessorize.     **Vulnerability in Styling**     Fashion can be deeply personal, and Stacey embraces the vulnerability that often comes with restyling oneself. Her approach is rooted in empathy and connection, helping clients release emotional barriers and rediscover their confidence. Through her thoughtful and honest guidance, Stacey transforms wardrobes—and lives.     FINAL THOUGHTS     **And don't forget to tune into our FCP Youtube channel for this exclusive interview!**   For our Fashion Besties over 50, remember: Age is irrelevant when it comes to good style.

    Top Denim You Must Own | Episode 221

    Fashion Besties it's Friyyyyaaayyyy and you will not regret spending the next 30 with us. Welcome to Episode 221 of the Fashion Crimes Podcast. This week, we're diving deep into one of the most versatile and timeless wardrobe staples: DENIM! What you need, what you don't need; what's hot and what's trending.    Whether you're a jean queen or hesitant to hop on the denim train, this episode will convince you why having the right denim is a game-changer. #trustandbelive   From light washes to dark rinses, ripped to raw, we’ve got the ultimate guide to elevate your jean game. So, stop what you are doing, and let’s talk denim! It's all the rage right now, and not going anywhere anytime soon.   HOT TIP: Follow along with Holly’s curated denim Pinterest Board! Lots of examples to inspire you there.   KEY TOPIC POINTS     Jeans will never go out of style and haven't for the past 150 years. So, here's the thing: if you hate jeans, this just means that you haven't found a pair that fits your body correctly. This is important. To find the correct fitting jeans, you must identify your body type and where you need the most support.    It's worth the effort to find that fit because they will be in your wardrobe forever. You won't be sorry. “Denim is something that can sustain you for several years and is one of the most durable clothing items you will ever own.” – Holly Katz, your favorite personal stylist   **The Must-Have Trio**     Every wardrobe deserves these three staples: light and, dark wash, black and a white pair for extra credit! These pieces will effortlessly carry you through casual Fridays, chic brunches, date nights, and so much more. Think of them as the foundation of your denim arsenal. Think of it this way- a great-fitting pair of jeans can make you look YOUNGER. (#facts) It's all about the fit. It's a foolproof plan.   **Holly’s 5 Factors to Consider When Buying Jeans**   Before you swipe that credit card or buy the first pair you try on, let's keep these five factors in mind:   1. Rise: High, mid, or low? The rise determines where your jeans sit on your body and how they flatter your waistline.   2. Stretch: Look for elastane or spandex in the fabric blend for comfort and movement. Always do the sit-down test to ensure they aren't too low in the back or baggy in the front (too big) before committing to purchase.   3. Support: If you need extra shaping-you've come to the right place. Brands like Spanx NYDJ, or Good American can offer tummy control and butt support in a variety of styles.   4. Rinse: Dark washes can make you look slimmer (#truth) if that's what you're going for.  Lighter washes are great for a laid-back vibe in the warmer months. Don’t be afraid to try colored or wax-coated denim for a fun twist-you might be pleasantly surprised.    5. Price: Whether you’re splurging or saving, fit is king. Vintage and secondhand stores can be goldmines for quality denim at a fraction of the cost. Make sure you TRY ON before purchasing and get familiar with return policies. A size 28 today might not be the same size 28 from a few years back. #justsayin      **Brands That Love Every Body**     For those seeking comfort, style, and the perfect fit, here are some Holly-approved brands:     - Levi’s: A timeless classic. Start with the iconic 501s and build from there. #greatprices - Mother: Known for buttery-soft fabrics and flattering cuts.  #alwaysfab - Good American: Inclusive sizing and their famous gap-proof waistband.  #signmeup - NYDJ: Perfect for a little extra support and tummy control.  #greatsupport   Remember: Fit first, style second. Try before you buy! #foreverandalways   Listen to the episode for more brand suggestions!   **Distressed Denim: Still in Style?**   Yes, ripped and distressed jeans are here to stay and aren't going away anytime soon! Luxury brands are even upping the ante, charging top dollar for that artfully tattered look.   But if you’re not looking to splurge, distress them yourself for a unique, personal touch.     **Is there a Denim Fashion Crime?**   The only possible denim crime, in Holly’s view, is “jeggings.” Either wear leggings and work out, or wear jeans like a grownup. Please feel free to tell anyone who might need to know this.   Also? Ill-fitting jeans that are too tight on your waist and cause “overage” and low-rise jeans that let your backside hang out. Come on Ladies (and Gents), no one wants to see either. Again, please feel free to tell anyone who might need to know. #ucandoit     **Care Tips for Longevity**     Don’t over-wash your denim. Every 3-4 wears is ideal and always air dry to maintain the fabric’s integrity. HOT TIP: For a quick refresh, try the freezer method—yes, really! It helps kill bacteria without breaking down the fibers. Don't forget to follow along with Holly’s curated denim Pinterest Board! Share with someone who just needs to know.  Quick Personal Update   Holly’s health journey: She is on her way to a bone marrow transplant on deck this week to treat a blood cancer called multiple myeloma. Hair will be gone but wig will be on! (Feel free to put that on a pillow). Her wig is cocked, locked, and ready to rock.  Holly is feeling strong and positive – and a huge thanks to all our besties who’ve sent so much love and support—you keep Holly going!   ---   **Final Word for Our Fashion Besties**   Ladies over 40, remember this: fashion is a tool, not a rulebook. Invest in pieces that make you feel confident and are authentic to who you are today.   And never forget, we are *the best fashion friend you never knew you needed*. Holly will be lying around getting better and recovering for the next few weeks, so hit her up on her social with your fashion questions! Let me check her schedule...Yep, all clear.    Be sure to tune in EVERY FRIDAY for a fresh episode on all podcast platforms.   Y'all have a fabulous, fashionable week!   FASHION CRIMES PODCAST www.fashioncrimespodcast.com
