In the fast-changing world of fashion, it can sometimes feel like we’re always focused on what’s young and new. But here at Who What Wear, we’re inspired by women of all ages, so we thought it was time to show some love to our favorite over-50 trendsetters. These bloggers and Instagram stars have carved out their own niche by sticking to their own unique sense of style and blending trends with their time-honored style.
While these eight style makers are by no means the only older women who have something to teach us about style (hello, Iris Apfel), following their fashion journeys can teach us something about our own fashion trends. Take one peek at these eight incredible trendsetters and you’ll see what we mean. Read on to learn about these eight inspiring women and shop their pieces for women of all ages.
