We routinely turn to women over 50 for top-notch style inspiration. Age is clearly just a number, and you should wear whatever you love regardless of the year you were born, but it’s this set’s more experienced sartorial POV that’s unique given the style trial and error over the years. So when it comes to building a fresh capsule wardrobe, we thought it could be intriguing to learn what a 50-something woman is gravitating towards. And yep, we again turned to one of our favorite fashion follows, Renia Jaz, to learn more.
The 54-year-old UK-based influencer and fashion consultant’s feed, @venswifestyle, is filled with chic outfit ideas. So naturally, her idea of a 2021 capsule wardrobe just seems so appealing. With that in mind, we asked her to share a list of 17 pieces she plans on going for this year that can mix and match with other items to create solid outfits.
