I'm 59 Years Old, and I Consistently Wear These 5 Outfits With Sweatshirts
While everyone's version of the "perfect outfit" various based on personal style, the goal for many is to go for a look that's chic and easy. And that's of utmost importance for Janet Gunn. The 59-year-old influencer's feed, @janetgunngratefulgardenia, is filled with A+ outfit ideas that feature elevated pieces that are easy to style. So naturally, we routinely turn to her for inspiration. On that note, age clearly has nothing to do with what your sartorial choices should be, but her more experienced fashion point of view is always intriguing as well.
With all that in mind, we wanted to tap Gunn to share the specific looks she's been wearing on repeat with one of her current easy staples. Yep, we're talking about sweatshirts here. While many of the outfits coming your way showcase how Gunn dresses up her sweatshirts, all could be mixed and matched with other pieces like jeans and sneakers to create top-notch looks. Keep scrolling for more, including inspired shopping picks.
