This week on the Style Chat Podcast, we’re getting real about Amazon fashion dupes — and it’s not all lace tops and “look for less” reels. Join stylists Sarah Liller and Tami Daylami as we unpack the truth behind those seemingly amazing $30 copycat pieces and explore what’s really going on behind the scenes.

Inspired by yet another viral dupe reel showing a near-identical Amazon version of a Free People lace top, we dive deep into the ethics, quality, and impact of fashion knockoffs. What does it mean when a top costs less than your lunch? Who's paying the real price? And does it actually feel good to wear something that looks luxe but was made in questionable conditions?

We talk:

• The psychology behind wanting a “steal”
  
  
• The often-overlooked importance of fabric and fit
  
  
• Fast fashion’s environmental and human costs
  
  
• The difference between inspiration and outright design theft
  
  
• Why chasing trends leads to overconsumption and wardrobe clutter
  
  
• Better alternatives (hello, vintage and resale!)
  
  

And yes, we fully understand the allure of convenience and the thrill of scoring a deal — we’ve been there! But as stylists who’ve spent years helping clients build wardrobes they love, we’re here to say: there is a better way to shop, dress, and express yourself. And it starts with being a little more thoughtful about what ends up in your cart (and your closet).

Whether you’re a fashion lover trying to shop more consciously, or you’ve ever been tempted by a “dupe” and wondered what the big deal was — this episode is for you.

Tune in for a stylish, honest, and surprisingly fun conversation that just might change the way you shop.
