We're always down for shopping tips and styling advice from over-50 influencers Janet Gunn and Melissa Meyers. Of course, age has legit nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't wear, but their fashion point of view always piques our interest given their time over the years editing and curating their wardrobes. And given that the duo has both spent decades juggling various careers and their children, they're used to being busy and having to run around while maintaining their day-to-day.

So on that note, we thought it could be intriguing to learn about the specific shoe styles they've consistently relied on that are not only comfortable to get through long days, but also happen to be chic too. With that in mind, Gunn and Meyers shared with us their go-tos below, along with inspiration images as well. Keep scrolling for more, and shop picks for each category too if one of the comfortable shoe silhouettes catches your eye.

"Boots always help us put our best foot forward whether we are wearing skirts or pants—our go-to footwear from fall through winter. Classic black and flat are always must-haves, as is a western-boot style or a pair with a chunky heel or sole." On Gunn: Angela Scott boots
"Fashion meets function when you wear a classic pair of Birkenstocks, especially when paired with a nice pant or skirt." On Meyers: Birkenstock sandals
"Comfort meets style with this timeless classic! Whether worn flat or with a block heel to get a bit of extra height, is there anything that a loafer can't be worn with? We think not."  On Gunn: Birdies loafers
"Easy to slide on and off, this style is always in fashion whether you like an open or closed-toe. We have been living in ours."  On Meyers: Roam slides
"The comfiest shoe to wear when sneaking around town. We like to throw on a stylish pair with cropped jeans, long dresses, and skirts."  On Gunn: Alexander McQueen Sneakers
"A powerful footwear style. I love a classic oxford or derby style that exudes confidence and strength." On Gunn: Angela Scott oxfords
"A great basic, these go with everything in your wardrobe, either as a flat for extreme comfort or with a lower heel. We like to wear this style with a low heel and in fun animal prints."  On Meyers: Loeffler Randall mules

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...
