We're in Our 50s, and These Are the 10 Spring Trends We'll Wear the Most

The calendar may say it’s still winter, and it still feels like it in most parts of the country, but the slightly longer days are starting to whisper that a change of season is right around the corner. No wonder we’ve got a case of spring fashion fever!

Yep, it’s almost time to put away our teddy coats and boots in favor of all the looks we started coveting way back in September when Fall Fashion Week gave us a sneak peek of what was to come in late March when spring officially arrives.

The ’60s are back…and, so are the 70’s! Oh, and my personal favorite a headscarf. Wallpaper prints, patterned midi’s and flowy fabrics all have us feeling groovy.

Since there’s a lot of fun fashion on the horizon, we’ve done our best to sift through it to share our short-list of favorites that you may want to flirt with. See More

Got White? Wear this non-color, color from head to toe and channel a fresh, clean vibe, or add just a slight touch of white to your look with an accent shoe or handbag. We noticed this flower accessory started making a comeback a couple of years ago, and now’s it’s in full bloom as flower pins are seen planted on tops, sweaters, and jackets.

Lingerie as outerwear is going to be everywhere. You won’t find us sporting midriff-baring bra tops, but we will be embracing this trend in our 50-something way. Pair a slip dress with a white sneaker and chunky cardigan (both are two more big trends for spring) or wear a feminine cami with trending white bottoms.

Nothing pricey about these white boots that were made for walking.

Marc Jacobs once said “There is never a wrong time for a polka dot”, and we couldn’t agree more

Spring has sprung and flowers are definitely blooming in the fashion world! Have some fun styling this blossoming look with a trending western bootie or loafer.

Who’s ready to spring forward !!

JANECO + STAUD = SPRING AND SUMMER EYE-CANDY

Just a little “eye-candy” to get excited for Spring 2020. Here are two brands that caught my eye - JaneCo. from Korea… because I’m obsessed with Korean fashion, beauty …(Korean film Parasite) and Staud - an L.A.-based team in Downtown LA that launched in 2015. It’s really what’s on the inside that counts and clearly these two brands a winner!

Where modern meets sophisticated, you'll find this structured STAUD tote. Designed in sleek, substantial PVC it’s lightweight, outfitted with a matching zip pouch and square handles.

These carryall totes come in two sizes, see below for size options, here I added this lilac pouch for a “pop of spring” It’s roomy enough to fit all your pretty things.

FYI - Blazer on SALE now

Anytime I wear my JaneCo. bag I’m always asked, “where’d you get that.”

Spring and summer are almost here and it’s bursting with color and clarity. Email me for shopping JaneCo or send a message to their Instagram account here.

Spring has sprung!

Thank you for reading and let me know if you have any questions.

감사합니다 JaneCo!

10 RELIABLE BASICS WITH WHO WHAT WEAR

What do straight-leg jeans, a blazer, and a white button-down all have in common? They are the holy trinity of closet essentials! Being in our 50’s, both of us have definitely had our share of “what were we thinking” fashion moments. But through a lot of hit or miss over the years, experimenting with different styles and trends, we have learned one crucial tip that we now swear by. Basics are your best friend. A leather jacket is a no-brainer in our arsenal of basics. Keeping it simple and basic with my friend and blogging partner Melissa Meyers and Who What Wear.

Every girl needs a classic handbag to finish off her look. Skirt and top from Zara / Red Bag / Reyna Icaza

A pop of red adds a little flair to a classic, structured shape.

A blazer is a non-negotiable essential and you can never have too many. Wear a black belted blazer with a denim skirt trend to add a level of chic off-duty style, or pair a boyfriend cut with other classic besties like a white t-shirt, and jeans or a silk midi.

Thankfully, as we’ve gotten older our fashion choices have gotten wiser! We’ve each developed our own signature styles by anchoring with the basics and then adding accessories and seasonal trends to bring out our fashion personalities. Just as a house needs a solid foundation to build upon, so do our wardrobes. In addition to a few other key pieces like a crew neck sweater, white t-shirt, leather jacket, trench coat, black boots, and a classic handbag, basics are the building blocks of an always put-together wardrobe.

Franne Golde - Always a dependable brand for basics we love. On Sale Now! $38.00 / JGxGG Collection

High, low, or over the knee, boots are always made for walking…in style. Oh, and let’s not forget our favorite animal print…leopard! This classic cat has definitely made its way to basics status in our fashion bibles.

Technically a blazer with matching pants, every boss babe, aspiring and established, sure doesn’t hurt to own one of these. Or just go solid and throw a coat or blazer over your “old-faithful” uniform.

Nothing says crisp, clean and fresh like the perfect fitting white button-down. Our motto- when you find one you like, buy a few! Melissa and I are big fans of Franne Golde and Grayson.

Straight-leg denim paired with the right shoe - classic pump or boots- can amp up your business casual look, taking you from a lunch meeting to an evening of cocktails and brainstorming…or in our case, traveling!

Acting as the perfect canvas to experiment with trends, these staples can take you from casual to chic in a New York fashion week minute! And best of all, they don’t have to be expensive!
