I'm 56, Live in NYC and Upgraded My Wardrobe With These 7 Easy Items
The year you were born should have absolutely nothing to do with your fashion choices. But as we cover regularly, it’s those women over 50, in particular, who we tend to get some of the best fashion advice from given their experience with style trial and error over the years. One woman who just totally gets it? Influencer Elaine Davis, the blogger behind @squarepearls (who happens to be 56).
Davis resides in New York City and, as a result, keeps a wardrobe full of easy and comfortable pieces that are also sleek and elevated. In the summer, she actually specifically gravitates toward a few select staples in white hues. "I love to elevate my style with chic white pieces in the summer and beyond,” she told us. On that note, we asked Davis for more specifics on the versatile items she loves.
Keep scrolling to check out the easy items that have upgraded her wardrobe, complete with a bit of visual and shopping inspiration if something catches your eye.
1. Trendy Tank
"Add a cool white top underneath a blazer for just the right amount of edge." — Davis
2. White Jeans
"A pair of great-fitting jeans and a beautiful top exude casual-chic." — Davis
3. Easy Dress
"Who doesn’t love an easy dress that can transition from day to night?" — Davis
4. Suiting
"When you want to look and feel like a boss, a white suit always works." — Davis
5. Midi Skirt
"Mixing textures with a skirt makes for a super-classy night-out look." — Davis
6. Versatile Separates
"One of my favourites is jackets and trousers that can be worn together or separately." — Davis
7. Sleek Handbag
"I love adding a cute bag to a classic dress." — Davis
