The SheerLuxe Podcast

Would you pay £100 for a Zara coat in a charity shop – and is vintage shopping losing its appeal? This week on the LuxeGen Group Chat, we're getting into the debates everyone has an opinion on, from the rising prices of second-hand fashion to whether resellers are ruining the thrill of finding a proper vintage gem. We're also unpacking the latest Tom Brady, Candice Swanepoel and Joan Smalls drama and figuring out who's really in the wrong.Plus, are brands getting more adventurous with their ambassadors? We're looking at unexpected campaigns featuring comedians, including Bowen Yang for Estée Lauder and the SharkNinja collaboration you wouldn’t expect. Plus, how did John Summit turn a suitcase-burning moment into a job title with Away? We also debate whether pedestrianising Oxford Street will make it a better shopping destination – or just even more crowded. Then there's the big relationship dilemma: would you ever date a friend's ex? We round things off with what we're wearing and loving right now, plus a very enthusiastic ‘Hunger Games’ discussion. Which of our opinions do you agree with – or were we completely wrong?

Is filming yourself crying on Instagram an authentic confession or a social media ick? This week on the SheerLuxe Podcast, Charlotte is joined by Mia and Josh to debate the messy world of public break-ups and the cultural moments taking over this week. 
First up, the team get into the madness of the online queues for the British Museum’s Bayeux Tapestry exhibition, before Josh reveals the latest update on his £5 Etsy with money spell. Next, the team share the BBC dramas and documentaries they’re hooked on – and Josh also brings historical gossip to the table from Lucy Worsley’s new tour, including how Queen Victoria basically invented modern wedding culture. 
Later, the conversation turns to why season three of Netflix’s ‘Nobody Wants This’ has won them back, followed by a debate on People’s Sexiest Man Alive and that toe scene in ‘Fellow Travelers’. Finally, the team break down their winter investments – from Charlotte’s Magda Butrym faux-fur scarf to Jolie filter showerheads and LED masks – before surviving a spicy Halloween game of trick or treat.

Why are men finding it harder to make friends and has Britain developed a problem with ambition?This week on the SL Man Podcast, Harvey and Tunde are joined by author, broadcaster and presenter Jack Guinness for a candid conversation about modern masculinity, male loneliness, personal style and what it really means to be successful.
Jack shares his thoughts on why ambition can feel uncomfortable in Britain, why we should celebrate people who want more from life and how our attitudes towards success shape the way we see ourselves. The conversation also turns to male friendship, the realities of making meaningful connections as an adult and why finding your people matters more than ever.
Elsewhere, Jack discusses creating ‘The Queer Bible’, the importance of understanding queer history and why representation and visibility are so important. He also reflects on the relationship between identity and personal style, from dressing for yourself rather than following trends to whether modern menswear is becoming too uniform. Expect honest opinions, plenty of humour and a thoughtful conversation about friendship, identity, ambition and finding confidence in who you are.

They also look at two of the hottest fashion collaborations of the moment: Alexa Chung x Reformation and UGG x JW Anderson. 
Of course, they also had to discuss Alexander Skarsgård’s daring press tour looks, from those see-through shoes to a very memorable t-shirt. Plus, to wrap up, they tackle this week’s hot takes and listener dilemmas.
