5 Summer Fashion Staples That Work at Any Age

If you read Who What Wear on the reg, you'd know that we like to tap women at a range of ages to discuss their approach to style. We've heard from women in their 50s about how to style basics and yours truly in her 20s about how to build a work wardrobe, all in the hopes of shedding light on a few of the many style perspectives that exist in the world. One comment I hear about all the time from friends, colleagues, and our very own readers is the idea that you "can't" wear something because of your age. Simply put, I disagree.

To prove just how ageless style really is, I thought it would be fun to tap two women whose style I personally glean a great deal of inspiration from—who happen to be a part of two different generations. I spoke to Renata, better known as @venswifestyle on Instagram, a chic 50-something who you might recognize as we regularly feature her insight and Lauren, an 18-year-old with a penchant for wearing color. After chatting with them, it became clear that there are a number of summer style staples they agree upon and conveniently, have both documented their affection for.

Ahead, I'm highlighting the five warm-weather staples they agree upon, showing you how each of them wears it, and, of course, including my favorite options for each item.
