Stop Trying to Be CBK: Style Trends We’re Officially Over
About this episode
In this episode, the hosts discuss the pressure to replicate Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's style and the importance of embracing individuality in fashion.
Consider this our official intervention: not everyone can be CBK, but no one else can be you. In this episode, we’re unpacking the internet’s obsession with Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and the pressure to replicate her effortlessly chic, “quiet luxury” aesthetic. The problem? Not everyone can be CBK and that's okay, we'd prefer it! We talk about how personal style has turned into copy/paste trends, why individuality in fashion feels like it’s disappearing, and the strange things people are suddenly wearing in public (yes, we’re looking at you girly who wears under eye patches to pilates). Along the way, we rant about the trends we’re officially over and why embracing your own taste will always look better than trying to cosplay someone else’s life. --- Stream Hannah's album, PHASES !
