What does it really mean to be well dressed?

In this episode of the Style Arcades Podcast, host Michelle Eagleton is joined by personal stylist Anna Mewes  and Dahlia Stroud , host of the Stressed But Well Dressed podcast, for an inspiring conversation about fashion, confidence and finding your authentic style.

Together, they explore the connection between what we wear and how we feel, discussing everything from fashion ”rules” and capsule wardrobes to dressing with confidence at different stages of life. The conversation takes a thoughtful look at style after pregnancy and the challenges many women face when reconnecting with their wardrobes as their bodies, lifestyles and priorities evolve. Anna shares practical styling advice for navigating these changes, while Dahlia reflects on the powerful role clothing can play in rebuilding confidence. They also discuss how fashion can be a tool for empowerment in the workplace, helping us show up with confidence, express our individuality and feel our best in professional settings.

Filmed at Jigsaw, Victoria Leeds, with both guests dressed by the brand, this episode is packed with honest insights, practical advice and plenty of inspiration for anyone looking to feel more confident in their clothes.
