How To Find Your Personal Style In 2026

Is personal style still "personal" if it’s shaped by an algorithm? This week, Tam and Lucinda are deep diving into the fashion zeitgeist and figuring out how to maintain your individual style in a world heavily influenced by what's trending on social media. 

They're talking through all the Aussie labels Meghan Markle wore on her recent (unofficial) Royal Tour and why Stella McCartney’s new H&M collaboration might be the risk the brands been needing to take.

Plus, they share two viral formulas: the "Three Word Theory" and the "Three Forces of Cool" that make getting dressed every morning easier. From why we’re all wearing rugby tops again to the DIY brooch-on-bag trend taking over the streets, consider this your guide to reclaiming your personal style in 2026.
