RE: Argyle old money. If you are a podcast person, strong rec Articles of Interest's 2022 story "American Ivy." Very much about the background and proliferation of prep fashion as a symbol of the elite.

Also when I saw the first banner ad for soup drops, I thought it was a joke, so thanks for setting me straight. Now I have another reason to dread this timeline.

Oh I am absolutely a podcast person and will be listening to this asap!! Thank you so much for sharing. Plaid is also entering the trend scene, and I think it’s very interesting to see these things alongside the literary aesthetic movement too.

And I 100% thought the soup drops were a joke too, but alas brands are really pulling the wildest stunts to stand out these days.

Entirely anecdotal trend evidence, but I have purchased 2(!) pairs of plaid trousers in the last 48 hours and am happy to ride this wave.

Lots to chew on ! Sooo hype abt argyle being a trend I just found the glasses pink and green argyle glasses. I loved the print but didn’t love the color way and couldn’t find any other pair in argyle. Hoping this trend will rectify that. 😌

The snoafers are painfully ugly but seem sooo practical for teaching so I may have to invest. Le sigh. Excited abt the Hulu doc love Victoria Monet and Chappel!

Always soooo much to chew! I am here for the argyle as well and I hope you find what you’re looking for.

The snoafers are bad but I’m also struggling to find any flat shoes I’m into right now so I’m ready for some innovation.

And excited for the doc too!! Just wish the promotional materials were more engaging
