My 65-Year-Old Mom Knows What's Cool Before I Do—Here's What She's Buying

In case you missed it last time, my mom is really cool—like next-level cool. So cool, in fact, that I feel guilty keeping her all to myself. So now she's back, and this time she's sharing her top picks for summer.

But before you scroll through her favorite pieces, let me first tell you a little bit about why she's such a style icon. My mom does not let her age define her. In fact, as previously mentioned, she dresses way cooler than I do. Despite our 42-year age difference, I would wear anything in my mom's closet, and most of the time, I'm beyond envious of the things she has that I don't. There's a level of effortlessness that my mom has carried with her throughout the years. She doesn't give in to trends that don't make sense for her, nor does she wear clothing she's uncomfortable in. Those two tactics make for a practical and chic style that defines her and has (I'd like to believe) rubbed off on me.

I can't believe I'm lucky enough to have such a style maven as my own mother. I've looked far and wide and have never found someone whose style speaks to me as much as my mom's does, which is why I called on her to share her top picks for summer with you all. Trust me—you'll want everything. I know I do!

Just two girls enjoying a day in Central Park and accidentally matching in patterned dusters.

Up next, Jennifer Aniston has been wearing this dress style for years.
