Feel that? It's the vibes shifting as we go into the new year. Today we talked two articles of interest that we fully broke down ?

We also dive into some severe sweater talk ? the sweaters that own real estate in our heads, our current rotations, recent sweaters we can't stop thinking about, and more. And, of course, wishlist items.

Retail Therapy 057: The Cozy Episode

With the holidays in full effect, we were feeling a bit... cozy. To kick things off, we had a full discussion about sleepwear: robes, slippers, high-end pajamas, Ugg x Palace, and Kith x Birkenstock. From there, we dove into the absolute vibe that is Stratford Gerald (@stratfordgerald) on Instagram, as well as a dive into Snoopy, Country Mouse-core, cozy illustrations, and more. And toward the end of our episode, we touched on some articles of interest (G-Shock x Online Ceramics, Gen Z buying old iPods, voluminous pants circle of life) and wishlist items.

Retail Therapy 051: Big Dumb Hats & No-Ski Ski Trips

Former co-host of the Club Cool Podcast, Phil Battaglia, fills in for Will on this special edition of Retail Therapy.  After a quick catch-up sesh, we dove into how we're feeling this season about the ubiquitous wide brim hat, otherwise known as a Big Dumb Hat.  Between the release of certified "Hat Movie" Killers of the Flower Moon and the resurgence of "Stomp, Clap, Hey" music, a storm is brewing that could spell the return or the official end of the divisive lid.  We also return to a favorite Retail Therapy topic: packing for trips.  This time, we're helping Phil prepare for a ski trip where he doesn't intend to ski.

How No Laying Up's DJ Piehowski Spends His Sundays

About two months ago, I got a text about my dive into the world of vinyl records. It was DJ Piehowski (@djpiehowski), and the ripple effects of that text exchange are still being felt today. Because vinyls have become such a part of my Sundays lately, it only made sense to find out how DJ spends his ideal Sundays. From big breakfasts to Mac Miller to an early evening 18, this is how it's done.

Retail Therapy 034: Barrett Takes Tokyo & Gwyneth Paltrow's Water Bottle

If you're wondering why it's been a little bit since you've heard from the Retail Therapy team, that's because Barrett was out of the country ? in Hong Kong and Tokyo, to be exact. Taking us through all his travels, Barrett discusses everything from the stores he visited to the general landscape of Tokyo itself. We also dive into some shoe talk in the realms of Jonah Hill's leather slides, the Ronnie Fieg x Clarks x Adidas collaboration, and the recent Aime Leon Dore x New Balance release. And to round things out, we dive into the state of "quiet luxury," Gwyneth Paltrow's water bottle, and some wishlist items.

Like we said in the episode, please please please pencil in May 10th in New York City for an event we're hosting. More details to follow, but our flights are booked.
