I Sent My 66-Year-Old Mom the Zara, Nordstrom, and J.Crew Items I Like—She Approved of These 16 Chic Finds
Yes, she hearted these sneakers and satin pants.
You can read it above, but I recently received a "What do you think is chic right now?" text from my mom. She wanted a bit of inspiration for spring. I asked what stores she wanted me to look at, and she replied with "Zara, Nordstrom, and J.Crew." She shops at Nordstrom and J.Crew regularly and has started looking at Zara more.
For context, my mom is 66, and I'm 37. Of course, we both believe age shouldn't dictate your wardrobe. In fact, we share a very similar aesthetic and are big fans of modern classics. On that note, I pulled pieces that align with that vibe, including statement jackets, fun sneakers, and pretty separates (like flowy pants). There were 16 pieces my mom really loved, which you'll find below. I also went ahead and rounded up even more picks from Zara, Nordstrom, and J.Crew that I think you'll love too.
