I'm 57, and I Recommend These Compliment-Worthy Items to Everyone I Know
We’re always interested in styling tips from Melissa Meyers. She’s a Los Angeles–based influencer that happens to be 57 years old. And while age clearly has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear, it’s her more experienced sartorial point of view that’s quite intriguing. On that note, we wanted to get further intel on the items she’s wearing on repeat at the moment. In fact, she also recommends the pieces to everyone she knows when they ask for fashion guidance.
Keep scrolling to check out the trends Meyers is all about this season. Fun fact: She also routinely gets compliments when she steps out in the items in question. You’ll also find styling references from Meyers, along with a range of shopping recommendations if you too want to add one of her favorites to your own wardrobe.
Faux-Leather Pants
On Meyers: Mango pants
"These faux-leather pants from Mango were the ultimate find for me this season. With their high waist, decorative seams, and side slit hem, these pants are so incredibly flattering—I get tons of compliments every time I wear them. I love their versatility and styling them with a camisole and a blazer, a tucked-in button-down blouse, or even an oversized sweater."—Melissa Meyers
Slip Dress
On Meyers: Neu Nomads dress
"A slip dress is a must-have piece for any wardrobe! They are timeless, sophisticated, and can be styled so many different ways. This one is lightweight, elegant, and comes in several colors. I also like to style slip dresses belted at the waist paired with a cropped jacket, oversize blazer, and heels."—Meyers
Faux-Fur Coat
On Meyers: Superdown coat
"Faux-fur jackets are the perfect layer that will take you through this holiday season and the rest of the winter months ahead. This is the perfect piece for anyone looking to elevate their day-to-night looks this season. I wear my faux furs with everything from jeans and pants to dresses and skirts. There are so many reasonably priced ones available now so this is a must-have winter wardrobe piece in my book."—Meyers
Colorful Blazer
On Meyers: Zara blazer
"Green is a fun, vibrant color (my fave), and I seem to have so many different pieces in this shade now! Blazers are a staple, and I’ve been wearing this one on repeat—it's the perfect pop of color and can be mixed and matched with so many things. I think it’s the perfect item to freshen up any wardrobe."—Meyers
Relaxed Blouse
On Meyers: L'Academie blouse
"Oversize blouses are so on-trend, and this one can be worn several ways! It goes with just about anything in my wardrobe and will be in style forever. The nude color pairs nicely with everything from jeans to trousers to skirts. The longer length of this button-up blouse allows you to wear it so many ways—tucked, tied, and as a loose cardi."—Meyers
