Matchy Matching with Rosie Ramsay
Co-ords are big news, didn’t you know. But what happens when that goes further than matching sets, and friends, families and couples start dressing with spookily similar style: are we here for it or is it all too much? This week James and Lauren share their take on co-ordinated dressing and couple style, as one lovely listener shares her worries about twinning with her boyfriend.
PLUS: We hear from podcaster extraordinaire Rosie Ramsay, who shares what she really thinks about her husband and podcasting partner Chris’s outfit choices. But will James and Lauren be team Rosie or team Chris? There’s only one way to find out.

Find Your Colour with Elizabeth Day
Fashion loves a colourful moment. Colour blocking, colour clashing, or mixing and matching like a patchwork quilt: it’s all on the table. But what if you’ve never dared to be bold before? Could it change your life?
If Elizabeth Day’s experience is anything to go by, it just might. The author and podcaster drops us a note about what colour means to her, and that kicks off a big discussion with James & Lauren about the role colour plays in our lives and how it can impact your mood.
PLUS a listener gets in touch, hoping to turn heads at a winter wedding… one head in particular...
