We turn to Janet Gunn and Cathy Williamson on the regular for their inspiring style. For reference, Gunn lives in L.A. and Williamson lives in Dallas. (Gunn has also lived in Texas in the past.) Given that we’re often intrigued by what people are wearing in various cities, we thought we’d get a sense from both of them about the specific trends they’re wearing the most right now for their busy lives in their respective cities—you know, to potentially spark some inspiration (regardless of where we all live).
And actually, this all came at the perfect time because Gunn visited Williamson in Texas, so they were actually able to shoot a bit of imagery together wearing the items they both swear by. With all that in mind, keep scrolling for a range of visual inspiration and information on why the trends in question are front-runners for these two women. You’ll also notice shopping recommendations sprinkled throughout in case you’re interested in adding one of the items to your wardrobe.
Faux Leather
On Gunn: Mango pants
"These are a staple for me because they feel comfortable yet look polished. I always feel put-together in faux leather, with flats or heels." — Gunn
On Williamson: Levi's jumpsuit
"This jumpsuit is everything! So chic and a one-and-your-done outfit!" — Williamson
Shackets
On Williamson and Gunn: BB Dakota shackets
"Shackets have great versatility. They're super easy to layer and lend plenty of styling options. So easy to grab and go!" — Gunn
Modern Blazers
On Williamson and Gunn: Veronica Beard blazers
"Our go-to for blazers are from Veronica Beard. They fit great, and they've designed one for every occasion. Their classic collection is so chic and looks great with jeans or leather." — Gunn
Elevated Knits
On Gunn: Closed x Leandra Medine Cohen sweater and jeans
"Wearing a cropped sweater is a great transitional item and perfect for dressing up your favorite jeans and classic flats. Living in L.A. is pretty much sweater weather year-round." — Gunn
On Williamson: Theory skirt
"Once the temperatures drop, the turtlenecks and sweater pieces come out. I love separates because I feel like I get my cost per wear! " — Williamson
