Style Chat Podcast

Fall is almost here, and we’re talking about what’s actually going to be worth wearing this season. In this episode of the Style Chat Podcast, stylists Sarah Liller and Tami Daylami break down the biggest fall fashion trends—from shoes and leather bombers to tailoring, polka dots, rich colors, cozy knits, denim, brooches, and bags. But instead of simply telling you what’s “in,” they’re talking about how to interpret trends in a way that actually works for your personal style and wardrobe. They dive into the return of the sexy stiletto boot, T-strap shoes, classic pumps, two-tone footwear, low-profile sneakers, and kitten heels, along with the move away from chunky “dad” sneakers. They also explore why a leather bomber can be surprisingly feminine, how tailoring is shifting after years of oversized silhouettes, and why having a matching suit can be one of the smartest investments in your wardrobe. When it comes to color, expect deeper reds, espresso brown, purple, and muted, mineral-inspired shades. In knits, Fair Isle and argyle are making a playful comeback, while denim is getting darker and barrel jeans are sticking around—even if Sarah and Tami aren't personally convinced they're for everyone. And then there are the accessories: brooches are back, doctor-style satchels are making a return, and clutches are getting another moment. Whether you love following fashion trends or prefer to take them with a healthy dose of skepticism, this episode will help you figure out which trends are worth trying, which ones might actually suit you, and how to incorporate something new without completely replacing your existing wardrobe. So grab a cozy sweater and get ready for fall—we're excited. Sarah's IG: https://www.instagram.com/sarahlillerstyling/ Tami's IG: https://www.instagram.com/tami_sofia/

You know the pieces—the ones that fit, you kind of like, but never quite make it into your regular rotation.

They also dive into the deeper reasons behind why certain pieces stay unworn, like redundancy in your closet, items that don’t fit your lifestyle, or pieces that are simply too difficult to style. Along the way, they explore how personal “uniforms” shape what we actually wear, why buying more items to make one piece work can backfire, and how to use tools like Pinterest for fresh styling ideas. This episode is full of relatable moments, honest insights, and a little tough love when it comes to editing your wardrobe.

In this episode of the Style Chat Podcast, stylists Sarah Liller and Tami Daylami take you behind the scenes of their careers and share how they each found their way into the world of fashion and styling. If you’ve ever wondered how someone actually becomes a stylist—or if it’s something you’re “born with” versus something you can learn—this conversation offers an honest and personal look. From childhood memories of dressing Barbies and obsessing over outfits to early experiences with shopping, sewing, thrifting, and design, Sarah and Tami reflect on the moments that shaped their love of fashion long before it became a career. They also share the winding, non-linear paths that led them to styling professionally—from fashion design and wardrobe work to building their own businesses and working with private clients. Along the way, they talk about the difference between knowing how to dress yourself versus knowing how to style someone else, why creativity can’t fully be taught, and the “spidey sense” stylists develop over time when it comes to seeing outfits, proportions, and potential in a single piece of clothing. They also touch on the role of experience, intuition, and lifelong exposure to art, color, and design in shaping their expertise. This episode is equal parts story, insight, and validation for anyone who has ever felt drawn to style in a deeper way. Whether you’re curious about becoming a stylist or simply want to understand what goes into great personal style, this conversation gives you a new appreciation for the skill, creativity, and instinct behind it. https://www.instagram.com/sarahlillerstyling/ https://www.instagram.com/tami_sofia/

Trends are always changing. So how do you actually stay ahead of them… without looking like you’re trying too hard? In this episode of the Style Chat Podcast, stylists Sarah Liller and Tami Daylami pull back the curtain on how they track fashion trends in real time — and how you can too. From runway recaps and street style in Paris and New York to what’s quietly showing up in your favorite stores, they share the exact clues they look for before a trend fully explodes. They talk about the 20-year fashion cycle (yes, the mid-2000s really are back), how to tell the difference between a flash-in-the-pan moment and something that’s going to stick around, and why seeing a trend trickle from designer to mass market is a major signal. You’ll hear their thoughts on barrel jeans, bootcuts, trending colors, unexpected fabrics, and the subtle styling shifts that often matter more than the item itself. But here’s the twist: staying “on trend” isn’t the goal. Sarah and Tami also dive into the part most people get wrong — blindly chasing trends that don’t actually suit them. They share how to filter trends through your own body, lifestyle, and personal aesthetic so you look current without losing yourself. If you’ve ever wondered how stylists seem to know what’s coming next — and how to participate in trends without feeling costume-y — this episode gives you the inside track. https://www.instagram.com/sarahlillerstyling/ https://www.instagram.com/tami_sofia/
