For the last few months, Vogue’s senior fashion news editor Laia Garcia-Furtado has been leading the Addressed column: a weekly one-stop-shop for style advice and our tips for getting dressed. Using runway moments, real-life trends, and celebrity styling, Laia has discussed everything from cargo pants to the WWS (working woman’s shoe, duh) to how to de-grandma your brooch—no offense to grandmas!
On this week’s episode of The Run-Through With Vogue, our hosts Chloe Malle, Chioma Nnadi, and Nicole Phelps invited Laia on the show to answer some of Vogue app users most pressing questions. They shared their knowledge on the best ways to confidently wear color if your default is all black (according to Chloe brown is the new black!), and the best way to stay chic during the ultra-hot New York summer days. The group also gave advice to a student transitioning to a professional setting who doesn’t want to look “frat basement chic.” According to Chioma, using the opposite theory or mixing high and lows is the way to go: “My general rule of thumb, you can wear sneakers with a suit. When I’m wearing, jeans and a T-shirt, then I’ll make sure that I’m wearing a proper shoe, a heel.” Listen to the episode here, and don’t forget to download the Vogue app and find our Style Advice section to submit your own question.
