Basics We Love With Melissa Meyers

Basics We Love With Melissa Meyers

“We're in Our 50s, Have Tried a Ton of Basics, and Now Rely on These 8 Easy Items.” See the full article here

They previously shared with us the basics they wear to look chic, and we wanted to dive even deeper into this topic to get a sense of the winter basics that are no-fail in their eyes. In reality, they've tested out a ton of basics over the years, so they know what truly works best for them specifically. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out the easy items they're wearing more than anything else right now, complete with styling inspiration. If you're interested in adding a piece or two into your offering too, there's also a smattering of shopping picks sprinkled throughout for you to shop. P.S. We look forward to strolling together again soon!

Classic Jeans -

"A great-fitting pair of jeans is a forever classic for any closet. We love the versatility of this timeless, tried and true basic, and prefer high-waisted styles in a variety of washes." I wear my white boots all season.

Flats

These sneakers were worth the investment. After two seasons they are still my “go-to” for a fashion sneaker and comfort. If you are into vintage luxury Milk Boutique has a nice collection of handbags. Located in Brentwood.

Cashmere Sweater

"Nothing says luxury quite like the feel of cashmere. We live in our sweaters throughout the winter, whether they're oversize or fitted. A classic sweater made from this timeless and cozy material always shouts chic."

Wraps

"An oversize wrap is super versatile and the perfect grab-and-go basic. It can be worn in so many different ways. We like to wear ours as a shawl or as a scarf with a jacket or blazer." Melissa and I are huge fans of wraps for that classic and chic style.

Leather is that elevated anchor piece that always adds an edge and sophistication to any outfit. Faux or real, make sure you have a skirt, jacket, or pants in this fabric as part of your wardrobe this season." On Meyers: Zara skirt and jacket; Office of Angela Scott shoes; Heidi Wynne Wrap

"Our wardrobes have definitely expanded to include more comfy clothing than ever. A cute sweatshirt worn with jeans or a matching sweatsuit are our go-to pieces these days. This is the perfect cozy-chic look when working from home or running errands."

White Jeans

We routinely turn to over-50 influencers Janet Gunn and Melissa Meyers for sartorial guidance. Of course, age has absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear, but their specific advice is often intriguing given their expertise over the years fine-tuning their wardrobes. On that note, we thought we’d focus next on some of the specific denim silhouettes this duo wears on repeat. More specifically, we thought there could be interest in learning about the jeans they love to wear, along with outfits to match for some inspiration. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to see the jean outfits Gunn and Meyers wear often because they're easy and versatile in nature. You’ll also uncover some shopping inspo as well if you’re looking to add a fresh piece or two into your wardrobe. Read Who What Wear article here.

I’m a big fan of high-waisted jeans for their shape and style. Wear these versatile jeans with a classic trench coat and a graphic top for a chic, put-together look.

I pretty much live in these jeans, super comfortable and great with flats or a nice heel. The price is right for this oversized “boyfriend” trench. $44. That’s a deal! I’m wearing my Bandolier Style Shay Bag chain as my necklace. Use Code GG!5 For Bandolier Style

These vintage sunglasses might be my all time favorite. Very light-weight and pretty timeless.
