Ah, spring. Time to reassess the status of our wardrobes and fill up our shopping carts with all the newness that the new season brings. With so much inspiration to take in, I’m turning to my trusted sources for what to wear and buy.
I spoke with one of the many chic older women I’ve taken to following on Instagram for style inspiration. Renata Jazdzyk is a 50-something from the UK you’ve seen wearing all the buzzy street style looks. What I love most about her style is her ability to pick and choose a few key trends to mix into her outfits in a way that feels very edited. Whether she’s pulling off roomy denim or test-driving the coolest new brands to hit the fashion world, I always turn to her cool outfits for inspiration on what to wear and, of course, what to buy.
Speaking of the latter, I asked Jazdzyk to share which fashion items are currently residing in her Amazon shopping cart and—surprise—her picks did not disappoint. From the staple jean style she says you can never go wrong with to the few spring trends she’s game to try, keep reading to discover the best Amazon clothing for women over 50, according to the chicest one I know.
We like to wax lyrical about Anna Wintour (a lot!) here at Who What Wear, and who can blame us? With three decades in the public eye, the Vogue editor in chief continues to inspire us with her bold personal style choices—from her punchy, printed midi dresses to her statement coats and those unmistakable Chanel sunglasses. But today we’re honing in on her shoes. Surprisingly, the fashion icon’s footwear choices are considerably pared-back compared to the rest of her closet. If you’ve kept a close eye on her shoe game throughout the years, you’ll see she chooses staple styles that she wears time and again. Case in point: Her beloved nude Manolo Blahnik strappy sandals, which she owns in a plethora of neutral shades and wears on repeat. Same goes for her classic knee-high boots, which she own in plenty of classic colors and tucks under her midi dresses, a signature Wintour look as of late.
While Wintour may be partial to high-end designer shoes, it is possible to emulate her favorite styles without spending your whole paycheck(s)! Ahead, we’re rounding up how to get her favorite shoes on a fast-fashion budget.
