Let's do a Style Files, where I interview listeners, readers, or watchers about their own style journey. I sit down with Katie—someone whose style journey I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand. From a self-proclaimed fashion outsider to someone who’s truly found her stride, Katie’s story is one of discovery, trial and error, and those “aha” moments that change everything.

We talk about what it was like for her to go from not really caring about style to feeling overwhelmed by social media and different style systems, and ultimately, to finding a way that actually clicked.

Katie opens up about the shifts that made the biggest difference, the advice she wishes she had earlier, and what she’d say to anyone still figuring out their personal style. Whether you’re just starting out or deep in your own style evolution, there’s something here for you.

Tune in for an honest, inspiring conversation about what it really takes to find a style that feels like you.

In this episode of the Style POV podcast, host Gabrielle Arruda welcomes author and style expert David Kibbe. The discussion centers around Kibbe's new book, which expands on his renowned style philosophies. Kibbe defines style as a visual language, a way of presenting oneself to the world, and stresses the importance of self-discovery and evolving personal style. They explore the relationship between individuality and fashion, the impact of fabric and silhouette, and the challenges of modern trends and marketing.

Kibbe also emphasizes the journey of finding one’s authentic style, the pitfalls of societal conditioning, and the importance of head-to-toe cohesiveness in outfit choices. The conversation is rich with insights into how style is a process, a journey of self-discovery, and ultimately, an expression of one's true self.
