My 60-Year-Old Mom Is Trying These 6 Elegant Trends Because of Anna Wintour

There are a few tastemakers my mother tends to turn to on the regular for sartorial guidance. And given that she often sticks to classic pieces that could work well with the timeless offering she’s been curating for years, it’s those A-listers with more refined style sensibilities that she loves. And, yes, one of which just so happens to be Anna Wintour.

As one of the most defining authorities in fashion, it’s really no surprise that my mom pays particular attention to the trend advice she gives and what she personally wears. On that note, when I was home in Wisconsin visiting my mom, she asked me if a necklace she was pairing with a crew-neck–sweater–and-jeans outfit would be “Anna Wintour–approved.” The piece in question happened to be a multicolored gem stunner. I replied, “Yes, mom, she always wears elegant accessories like that.” This got me thinking. I thought it could be fun and resourceful to scroll through a range of Anna Wintour street style imagery to uncover a few more specific polished items my mom would want to try.

Now, yes, my mom is 60, but she called out the elegant trends coming your way because she truly thinks they can work for anyone at any age. Because, of course, the year you were born really has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t work.

So with all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out the spring 2020 trends (complete with shopping inspo) that my 60-year-old mother is ready to buy—all thanks to the Editor in Chief of Vogue.

“I love my leather moto jacket because it makes me feel cool and a bit luxurious. This whole leather trench coat is appealing to me then because the look seems sophisticated and a bit different.”
“I’m really feeling all the fun animal-printed stuff out there right now. And leave it to Anna to convince me to add even more leopard print into my wardrobe. That pop of leopard just seems so fashiony to me.”
“My life these days doesn’t call for a full suit at all, but I do like how a crisp blazer just looks classic. I’m loving this tweed pick in particular.”
“As you know, I’m a jewelry woman and am all about the fun colorful gems out there. I have a few pretty necklaces and earrings in that style, but I want to add a few more little trinkets to my collection—like the necklaces Anna always seems to wear.”
“Pleated details come across as particularly refined to give off that dressed-up look. I actually have a pleated skirt that I wear for more formal occasions, but I’m interested in trying a pleated dress for an easy but sleek look.”
“I think I mentioned to this to you before, but I am still interested in adding more snakeskin boots to my wardrobe because they feel just a tad fancier than the little black booties I wear all the time. I’m not sure I’d go for the knee-high styles like Anna seems to be wearing here, but rather the lower variety for me personally.”

Next, check out the accessory trends Anna Wintour thinks will be big in 2020.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

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...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

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...
