Summary

Brittany has some predictions for the big trends to watch for in 2025. First, social media is OUT. Not that people will stop using social platforms, but rather, Brittany thinks what they mean to us will continue shifting. Second, politicizing food is IN. Brittany thinks food will increasingly become a marker of political identity. You are what you eat? No, what you eat is a sign of what you believe.

Plus, a lightning round of Ins & Outs
Is the club in or out in 2025?
How about wide-legged pants?
Let Brittany know your thoughts in the comments.
