Ep11. The Office Siren: TikTok Told Me to Dress Sexy at Work

The office siren trend is all over TikTok — pencil skirts a little too short, one button undone, Bayonetta glasses, full femme fatale energy. It looks incredible on your For You page. But what happens when you actually wear it to work? This week, we're joined by Stephanie Niles — NYC-born lawyer who's worked in investment banking, big law, and civil service — to break down the real gap between how TikTok influencers role-play corporate America and what actually flies in a real office. We talk capsule wardrobes, the double standard women face when expressing themselves through fashion, why your outfit is both a suit of armor and a performance, and what to do when you're the intern who wore the wrong thing on day one. Plus: we all showed up in our finest fits — snake skin trenches, real fur (yes, real), and Ralph Lauren bear energy — so if you're listening on audio, this might be the episode to switch to video. Whether you're starting your first internship or you've been navigating office dress codes for years, this one's for you. Featuring: Tom Barry, Lorenzo Lopes, Antonia Lopes, and guest Stephanie Niles.
