About this episode
Malena and Johanna discuss spring fashion trends for 2026, including pockets, utility wear, and bold colours, while also touching on Swedish cultural phenomena.
Malena and Johanna brave the chilly Swedish winter to discuss a decidedly warmer topic, spring fashion! They talk about elevated athleisure, utility wear, the comeback of bold colours, sheer fabrics, camisoles and perhaps the most pressing question of all: will the Wuthering Heights movie craze have us all dress as goths? Then Johanna declares that the most important fashion trend in 2026 is…pockets! They also take a detour to discuss a specific Swedish phenomenon, the mama sausage. Johanna is not a fan and has some choice words for this practical but uninspired garment. Then Malena drops a possible knowledge bomb: have we worn fur-lined hoodies wrong all this time?
