I Think Every Shoe Style Goes With This Sharp Spring Trend
Los Angeles–based influencer Janet Gunn is known for her effortlessly chic style. For her life in California, she prefers trends that are forward and highly versatile. In fact, there's one key trend she's wearing on repeat this season that fits this aesthetic. Yep, we're talking about the relaxed-suiting look.

"I find wearing a suit lends itself to beauty, sharpness, and elegance."
