Janet Gunn and I have a passion for style and love the casual California vibe that seems to be so “of the moment” these days! While we are both well into our 50’s, I’m a true believer that age should not dictate what you should or shouldn’t wear. It’s more important to select great pieces and styles that you feel good in.
Below we’re sharing 9 key trends we love for 2021. These looks are very versatile and work well with a range of pieces in our closets. Keep scrolling to check them out and shop the story!
1. JUMPSUIT
We love it when every few years the jumpsuit makes a come-back! With a spotlight on comfort and style, it’s an easy instant outfit that makes getting dressed a snap!

2. MATCHING SETS
Here’s another trend that takes the guess-work out of what to wear. Sweat-sets, cashmere-sets, and lounge-sets all have a home in our closets this season.

3. LEATHER
Time and time again, leather -faux or the real-deal - always makes our list. Even though the cut and styles may change over the years, leather jackets and leather pants are always chic and trending.

4. COMFY JEANS & PANTS - We are living in looser pants and denim to keep us stylish and moving freely through our day.

5. CHUNKY SHOES
Chunky makes a style statement in 2021 – we love a good chunky lug sole boot.
6. HOODIES and SWEATSHIRTS
Hoodies and sweatshirts are our answer to staying cozy and warm during our California winters! For extra warmth, layer under a blazer for an urban-cool vibe.

7. CARDIGANS
Here’s the long and short of it…we love cardigans of any length and knit! They are great to throw over a t-shirt worn with jeans or buttoned with nothing underneath.

8. T-SHIRTS
Classic T-shirts may be one of our favorite basics, but that doesn’t mean we don’t also like wearing this season’s trending styles like puffed sleeves, padded shoulders, and vintage looks.
9. COATS, JACKETS, PUFFERS
Two trends we are really embracing this season are the over-sized work-shirt-style jacket (who's mad for plaid?!), midi-length coats, and the cozy Teddy styles. These looks are all great to wear with jeans or with leggings to run errands after a work-out. The puffer coat is also having an extra moment this winter. We both like ours with an extra dose of puff!
