Boot Trends That Work for Every Age With Cathy Williamson

December 5, 2022 janet gunn

Friends and fashion go together, don’t they! I just love sharing our fashion tips along with a few bargains and, of course mixing the high and low. Who What Wear is always an excellent source for women of all ages when it comes to how to wear, what to wear, and where to buy. You can check out the full article here and have a wonderful holiday and happy shopping and good times with your friends!

Age clearly has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't wear. After all, it's just a number. That said, it's sometimes intriguing to learn about the trends women with more experienced sartorial points of view are into. And that's where Janet Gunn and Cathy Williamson come in. These fashion influencers are over 60 and have spent years fine-tuning their wardrobes. When it comes to footwear specifically, they both agree that there are a few key boot trends that work best for them and actually work for anyone at any age because they're all highly versatile.

"These Jimmy Choo flat boots with crystal detailing are an evolution of the combat boot. Styled with this wide-leg Mango suit adds a little funky personality for day or night comfort. Easy on and off with a back zipper for the best of both worlds; comfort and fashion."—Gunn

Getting back to my roots in these Lucchese tall boots. I grew up wearing Lucchese boots, and when I saw these in red, I couldn't wait to dress them up a bit. I love how fashion has embraced the cowboy boot, and they're so fun to style and a great conversation starter.

"I am a sucker for an animal print of any kind. These cool python-print boots would elevate any outfit. Animal prints have appeared throughout history as a form of self-expression. Another reason they are a classic print! Don't be afraid to add one to your boot mix."—Williamson.

Here's What We're Ditching and Buying to Enhance Our Fall Looks

September 21, 2022 janet gunn

Heading into fall - I’m a big fan of editing my closet at least once a month; I’m always inspired when I see what the new trends are, and that inspires me to make room for updates and let go of what no longer “sparks joy,” thanks to the queen of clearing out the clutter Marie Kondo! Also, clearing out my closet encourages me to adapt my style and try something new. I love the classics, and a chic street-style vibe is my go-to, but most of all, I like to keep it fresh, keep it stylish and keep it exciting!

My fashion-lover friend Melissa Meyers and I were excited to share our full list on Who What Wear, and we hope you can find a little inspiration along with a few good deals! and meet Blaize Caprice - a new young designer where glamour meets sleek and sophisticated.

Wearing Oversized Button Downs Instead of Fitted

“Master the effortless style with this oversized “August” White Button-Down by Blaize Caprice. The styling opportunities for this hero piece are endless; it’s a wardrobe essential that every closet needs. Because it’s so versatile, there is an overwhelming assortment of options. Love the appeal of the exaggerated large cuff.”

Ditching Skinny Fitted Jeans for Looser High Waisted Jeans with Wider Leg

“These slouchy jeans are my favorite at the moment. Even though I’m petite because they’re high-waisted, they visually elongate your legs, plus you can create your cuff size, and the crossover front panel gives an elevated look for day or night. You’ll look stylish and comfortable.”
