My 66-Year-Old Mom Occasionally Recognizes Trendy Styles Before I Do—30 Stylish Items She Loves That I Endorse
My mom has a stylish flair. That's a fact. I've actually penned several stories about her favorite trends and selections. At 66 years old (I'm 38), we often share the same taste in clothing—it's no surprise since age doesn't dictate what one should wear. Although I serve as the fashion editor among us, there are instances where my mom identifies what’s trendy and chic before I do. Just recently, she returned from Reformation with a delightful striped tee. While a striped tee is a timeless basic, this particular style with thinner stripes felt particularly contemporary and stylish. I drew a lot of inspiration from my mom and even put together my own style narrative on Instagram because of it. I asked her to send me links to everything she had found while browsing her favorite online shops (which include Nordstrom, Reformation, and J.Crew). Below is a list of 29 items she selected that I wholeheartedly endorse as a shopping director, featuring elevated basics, fantastic shoes, and fun bags.
