In this podcast episode of School Runway Cara and Bronagh address listener questions about fashion and style, offering advice tailored for mums. The hosts aim to provide practical tips and a few laughs while tackling style dilemmas related to Wimbledon attire, holiday wardrobes, and underwear choices.

Terry from Northampton seeks advice on what to wear to Wimbledon, torn between smart casual and a posh tea dress. The hosts emphasize that it's better to be overdressed than underdressed. They note that jeans and scruffy trainers are not allowed. Considering the heat, comfortable footwear is crucial, suggesting flats or leather sandals. While many attendees wear white, it's not mandatory. Inspiration can be drawn from celebrities like Sienna Miller and Angela Scanlon, who often opt for co-ords, jumpsuits, or lightweight dresses. Hats might obstruct other viewers, so it's important to check the rules.

A listener requests help creating a versatile summer wardrobe on a budget. The hosts recommend starting with basics like vest tops and denim shorts, which can be dressed up or down. A good swimsuit or bikini, a linen over-shirt, and a pair of flip-flops or flat sandals are essential. A nice summer dress and a co-ord set (shorts and shirt, skirt and shirt, or trousers and shirt) offer multiple outfit combinations. Accessories like jewelry and sunglasses are vital for diversifying outfits.

Sophie asks for advice on comfortable and discreet underwear options, as she finds her current collection outdated. One host jokingly suggests going without underwear, while the other recommends cotton underwear for hot days. Seamless thongs from Marks & Spencer or Primark are suggested to avoid visible panty lines (VPL). Brands like Skims and Beyond 9 are praised for comfort and quality, though they can be more expensive. Brazilian-shaped pants from Victoria's Secret are recommended for a flattering fit. The hosts also reminisce about past underwear trends, including chicken fillets for added cleavage.

The hosts diverge into various topics, including a discussion about the Irish sport of hurling, the definition of "pomp", and a favorite chicken shop in Tottenham. They also express annoyance with people who offer unsolicited advice about body image on podcasts. They emphasize the importance of wearing what makes you feel comfortable and confident, without needing external validation.
