You can read it above, but I was recently asked “What do you think is hot right now?” have received. Text from my mom. She wanted a little inspiration for spring. I asked what stores she wanted to show me, and she replied “Zara, Nordstrom, and J.Crew.” She shops regularly at Nordstrom and J.Crew and has started paying more attention to Zara.
For reference, my mom is 66, and I’m 37. Of course, we both believe that age should not be a factor in what you dress like. In fact, we share a similar aesthetic and are big fans of modern classics. On that note, I pulled pieces that aligned with that vibe, including statement jackets, fun sneakers, and cute separates (like flowy pants). My mom loved 16 pieces, which you’ll find below. I also went ahead and picked out even more picks from Zara, Nordstrom, and J.Crew that I think you’ll love too.
