4 Ageless Trends You, Your Mom, and Your Grandma Can Wear
We've said it before and we'll say it again: There is no item of clothing that's off-limits for any age group or body type as long as it feels right. Anyone can wear anything they please, but if you're looking for some classic yet on-trend pieces that truly transcend generations, you've come to the right place. I've spotted four stylish pieces, in particular, on women of every age so far this summer, and I couldn't resist sharing the photos I've been screenshotting for weeks.
When it comes to one very chic print, for instance, 53-year-old Instagram star Grece Ghanem is on the same sartorial page as Oslo-based student Nnenna Echem. Both women show off stylish ways to wear the trend, and they're bound to convince you to give it a whirl as well. (Side note: Remember when we interviewed Ghanem about her favorite trends over the past five decades? Yeah, that was a good one.) Scroll down to see how women of all ages wear four ageless trends and shop the looks for yourself.
Trench Coats
Trench coats will never go out of style, so you might as well invest in a quality one that you can still wear later in life.
Zebra Print
Leopard print often gets all the attention, but zebra print is quite possibly even chicer. Scroll down for three stylish examples of how to wear it at any age.
Printed Midi Dress
As a 27-year-old myself, I'll gladly swap super-short minidresses for midi versions. If you've ever associated the style with being matronly, allow us to shatter that illusion.
Wide-Leg Jeans
Skinny jeans often get included in lists of wardrobe classics‚ but wide-leg versions are even more timeless if you ask me.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
