My 54-Year-Old Mom and I Constantly Swap Outfit Ideas—30 Finds We Agreed On
Shopping with your mom isn't most people's idea of fun, but it's practically a ritual for my mom and me. Our personal styles couldn't be more different from each other, but we can both appreciate a well-made garment and Saint Laurent, and that's enough to keep our chain of text messages filled with outfit ideas. While my tastes skew edgy with a hint of downtown cool, my mom prefers bohemian pieces and hues of every color of the rainbow. Her go-to stores include Anthropologie and J.Crew, while I spend hours browsing through Zara and Aritzia.
Exchanging links to new arrivals and viral trends is part of our daily communication, so I thought I'd share the latest batch of fall fashion that satisfies our contrasting tastes. We took a look through Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter, H&M, and more, finally settling on 30 items that appeal from a millennial to a Gen-Xer. Just a fair warning: You'll likely end up swapping clothes with your mom.
