My Mom Is 62 and I'm 34—These Are the J.Crew, Nordstrom, and H&M Items We Love

My mother and I actually have pretty similar tastes when it comes to clothes. Yes, this is despite our age difference. (I'm 34, and she's 62.) As age has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't wear, it can easily make sense that we share similar sartorial sensibilities. On that note, three stores we happen to both like are J.Crew, Nordstrom, and H&M. On one of her recent visits, we actually scrolled through the websites of each of the retailers because she wanted a bit of shopping inspiration.
To give you inspo if that's of interest, I thought it could be fun to highlight the specific pieces from the trio of retailers that both my mom and I love for the season. Whether we're after buys for the warmer months or year-round staples, we both gravitated to comfy-cozy pieces, gorgeous layers and pieces that could be great for a variety of occasions. Keep scrolling for more.
