“How’s your list coming along?” is a question that gets brought up between Barrett and I about 48 hours before every In/Out episode. While I normally try to start curating my list a month out, I never end up settling on anything until the moment before we hit record.
What often gets lost in the mix of these episodes — especially once they’re posted on Instagram — is that these aren’t us forecasting larger trends as much as they’re lists of things that we see either (1) popping up more than normal or (2) things we’re simply sick of. The lists themselves are more personal than practical, but that’s what makes them fun.
Here’s the slideshow we tossed up on our Instagram:

After going back-to-back with our Fall Fashion episode and In/Out, I can easily say that these are two of my favorite episodes of the year, year after year. How will the vibes shift before our Winter In/Out episode in 2025? Can’t wait to find out.
Can you share some of your Amapiano & Afro beats artists/playlists that you like?
Theres nothing wrong with Cab Sauv and 20 photos in a post… let us live!
