Your age should have absolutely nothing to do with what you "should" or "shouldn't" wear. That said, we often gravitate toward women over 40 for style inspiration given their more experienced points of view. Influencers Erin Busbee and Melissa Meyers are two women we turn to for outfit inspo.
Busbee, 46, and Meyers, 56, consistently post looks on their blogs and Instagram feeds that are equal parts chic and easy. Therefore, we're inclined to learn about the key pieces they're into this season to build some of their strongest looks. They shared with us the five trends they both love due to the simple yet directional vibes.
Keep scrolling to check out more from Busbee and Meyers, including styling inspiration. There's also a wide variety of shopping picks if you're interested in adding one of their go-to trends to your own wardrobe.
