We're in Our 50s, and These Are the 10 Spring Trends We'll Wear the Most

Janet Gunn is the inspiring influencer behind The Grateful Gardenia. Originally from Texas, the 58-year-old style guru is now settled in Los Angeles with her husband, son, and dog Buster. She's worked as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, flight attendant, actor, jewelry designer, and beyond. In other words, she has a ton of experience and an equally cool personal style. Melissa Meyers is a Los Angeles–based influencer with a focus on beauty, style, travel, and wellness. Her blog, The Glow Girl, aims to empower women to embrace the best version of themselves, age gracefully, and cultivate a glow from the inside out. She also happens to be 54 years old and has a penchant for masterfully styling trends. Here, the fashionable duo teams up to discuss the basics they swear by. Oh, and don't forget to follow them at @janetgunngratefulgardenia and @melissameyers.

"The calendar may say it’s still winter, and it still feels like it in most parts of the country, but the slightly longer days are starting to whisper that a change of season is right around the corner. No wonder we’ve got a case of spring fashion fever.

Yep, it’s almost time to put away our teddy coats and boots in favor of all the looks we started coveting way back in September when S/S 20 shows gave us a sneak peek of what was to come in late March when spring officially arrives.

As women in our 50s, we’ve learned that when it comes to trends, it’s best to go for what we love—and pick and choose. And since there’s a lot of fun fashion on the horizon, we’ve done our best to sift through it to share our short list of favorites that you may want to try also.

Below, you’ll find the spring 2020 looks we’ll be embracing with open arms, giving you inspo to start preparing your closet for warmer temps."

On Gunn: Zara skirt. Marc Jacobs once said, "There is never a wrong time for a polka dot," and we couldn't agree more.
On Gunn: Matteau midi skirt. Spring has sprung, and flowers are definitely blooming in the fashion world. Have some fun styling this blossoming look with trendy Western booties or loafers.
On Meyers: Veronica Beard top; Gucci bag
On Gunn: Alice + Olivia suit. We’re into the idea of wearing this non-color color from head to toe and channeling a fresh, clean vibe or adding just a slight touch of white to your look with an accent shoe, handbag, or pair of trousers.
On Meyers: Ripley Rader pants
On Meyers and Gunn: Hark + Hammer cami. Lingerie as outerwear is going to be everywhere. You won’t find us sporting midriff-baring bra tops, but we will be embracing this trend in our 50-something way. Pair a slip dress with a white sneaker and chunky cardigan (both are also big trends for spring) or wear a cami with white trousers.
On Meyers: Zara dress
On Gunn: Anine Bing dress
On Meyers: Zimmermann dress. Long or short, multiple tiers or just a couple, this is the perfect flirty trend to usher in springtime’s playful feel.
On Meyers: Ripley Rader dress. The '60s are back—and so are the '70s. Wallpaper prints, patterned midis, and flowy fabrics all have us feeling groovy.
On Gunn: Banjanan dress
On Meyers: ALC sweater and skirt. Pops of color will be seen everywhere this spring, but so will the softer shades. The sherbert and pastel side of the color wheel has definitely captured our attention.
On Meyers: Franne Golde Collaboration FG x GG scarf. The scarf is having a moment. Whether tied around your ponytail or worn around your neck, this accessory is working overtime this spring.
On Gunn: Hermès scarf
On Gunn: Staud bag. Whether it’s itsy-bitsy, boxy, a sling, or framed, there’s a bag for everyone this season. We love the modern take of these structured bags shown in trending white and with transparent details.
On Meyers: Fendi bag
On Gunn: Alice + Olivia pin. We noticed this accessory started making a comeback a couple years ago, but for spring 2020, they are in full bloom, as flower pins are seen planted on tops, sweaters, and jackets.

Next, check out more spring 2020 trends to try now.

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...
