My 65-Year-Old Mom Knows What's Cool Before I Do—Here's What She's Buying Now
Ask anyone who their style icon is, and they'll likely say a famous celebrity, influencer, or street style star. While all those people are awesome, and I'm definitely obsessed with some myself (Eva Chen and Gala González are my favorites), my true style icon always has been and forever will be my mother.
My mom, JoAnn, oozes cool. Basically, I got really lucky. She has the best style of anyone I know, even at 65 years old. She always comes home with pieces from designers I haven't heard of yet, trends that won't be big for another full season, and jewelry that makes my jaw drop. For example, she had the fur-lined Gucci slides before anyone I knew and got the first Mansur Gavriel bucket bag when it was still brand new and on a waiting list.
We always joke that instead of a shopping trip, I'd rather "shop" in her closet because it is truly my favorite store. There is not one thing my mom owns that I wouldn't wear as her 23-year-old daughter, so it's safe to say her style is definitively ageless. I turn to my mom for pretty much all of my style inspiration and constantly pick her brain about what's new and now. Since I feel selfish keeping this treasure trove of fashion all to myself, I called on my mom to share her wish list with you so you can see just how special and timeless her style really is.

"I love this ring so much I even hinted at it for Valentine's Day from my husband. But with a J, of course!""A beautiful scarf polishes any outfit. I particularly love Faliero Sarti scarves because of their subtle designs, and I'm not embarrassed to admit I own four of them.""I am a total jeans kind of girl. If I can't wear jeans, I really have to think about what to put on. Luckily in L.A., where I live, you can dress jeans up or down for almost any occasion. Some may say I'm too old for ripped jeans, but these are my favorites, and I stand by it.""The softest and comfiest tees. I'm buying more of these this season and will definitely continue to wear them for years.""This trench coat has my attention. I love the layers, the color, and the belt detail.""I've been coveting these since seeing them on my best friend/style guru. Haven't pulled the trigger but can't get them off of my mind."On JoAnn: Ganni dress (no longer available); AG Robyn Jacket ($198); Celine Bucket Bag ($2400); Common Projects Tournament Sneakers ($405). I'm sorry, but she's pretty cute, isn't she? "I've been wearing Raquel Allegra for years and invested in this top about eight months ago. Emily was so against it. She told me to return it! Little did she know that tie-dye would be big in a few seasons.""I love to layer my necklaces, and this just might have to be the next one I add into the rotation.""I already own the GG Velvet Loafer in black and the fur-lined loafers in black, and I never want to take either of them off. So I figure, why not put my two favorites together but in brown this time? I think these slides would be equally well loved.""I really can't wait for these to become available. I've loved them since I first saw them. These will be my way of adding some color into my otherwise black/white/beige wardrobe! I could live in anything Nili Lotan at the moment!""I'm not the most adventurous with my bags, but I do particularly love this one. It's subtle and wearable yet still has a standout quality. Plus, I just generally am loving Staud these days."On JoAnn: Veda Dallas Leather Jacket ($946); New Balance 574 Sneaker ($55); R13 Kate Skinny Jean ($345); Faliero Sarti Frayed Hem Scarf ($207); Inhabit Black Sweater ($90). She rocks a great all-black look."I love an occasional purchase from Zara. Especially when it's a simple basic like this laid-back coat.""Sometimes you need a light sweater for those chilly L.A. evenings, and this basic black Everlane one is both affordable and versatile." "No closet is complete without a pair of patterned trousers. They're way more versatile then they seem, and they go perfectly with my favorite shoes, white sneakers.""I'm so glad belt bags are still in because I wear mine everywhere. Sometimes, you just don't want to carry a purse, you know? And this is the perfect solution to that.""These are still my favorite go-to sneakers. I wear mine almost every day, but I'm considering another pair. They're just that amazing.""Usually, I stick to basic white no-show socks, but lately, patterned ones have been calling my name. I love these K Bell socks because they stick in my black-and-white color range while also adding something extra to my outfit."
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
