I'm 58, and These Are the Fashion Updates My Daughter and I Are Making This Year
Los Angeles–based influencer and founder of The Glow Girl, Melissa Meyers, is a wealth of outfit inspo no matter the season. From summer essentials to fall footwear, Meyers's fashion sense is always on point. And she's passed this super skill down to her daughter, Rachel.
Recently, the duo returned from a trip to Paris during fashion week and returned with some "French-girl" inspiration like mixing neutrals with beautiful pieces and accessories that make the outfit. Keep scrolling to check out the chic hues and hemlines that both Meyers women swear by, including the six fashion updates that they are both making to their wardrobes in 2024.
Tweed Jackets
"A Lady Jacket is a classic, old-money style that adds a touch of sophistication to elevate any look. This wardrobe staple exudes refined elegance and is versatile. They can be styled in different ways and worn dressy or casually from work to lunch and dinner! They look chic layered over a tee, blouse, or shirt, with pants, skirts, jeans, or a dress. Rachel and I will be rocking this sophisticated lady-girl look all year long!" — Meyers
Wearing Neutrals vs. Bright Colors
"This year, we are opting for a more subdued color palette by exploring the chic simplicity of wearing neutrals. This look offers endless versatility and styling opportunities, becoming the foundation for a look that effortlessly transitions from day to night. Adding a pop of color is a good idea with a fun bag or shoe, but otherwise, we like to keep it neutral." — Meyers
A-Line Skirts and Dresses
"We love the feminine charm of A-line-shaped skirts and dresses. They add a playful and whimsical element for a stylish, winning look. Sometimes we like to go out matchy-matchy with this one!" — Meyers
Sleek Silhouettes
"We will be wearing lots of simple, sleek dresses and skirts on repeat this year! This modern yet timeless silhouette is so easy to dress up or down and perfect for travel. We both love the minimalist, chic appeal that a sleek style has to offer!" — Meyers
Tailored Sets and Suiting
"Tailored sets and suiting have become our fashion go-tos, portraying a refined and polished aesthetic. We feel so confident while rocking this conservative chic style. Power suiting makes getting dressed so easy too!" — Meyers
Chunky and Layered Jewelry
"We are accessorizing boldly with chunky and layered jewelry to add a statement to a rather simple style. The right combo of layered necklaces, bracelets, and rings can elevate even the simplest look. For 2024, we think letting your accessories [shine] and popping in some special handbags and shoes is the way to go!" — Meyers
