As someone who spends an unreasonable amount of time analyzing what stylish women are wearing—yes, it’s my job, but still—I’ve noticed something interesting this summer. The most elegant outfits aren’t driven by age or fleeting micro-trends. Instead, regardless of age, there are several polished staples that just resonate with pretty much everyone.
Perhaps that’s why these particular pieces have such broad appeal. They’re sophisticated without trying too hard, trend-forward without feeling intimidating, and versatile enough to work for a variety of personal styles. From polished polo sweaters to the raffia bags replacing traditional leather totes for the season, these are the summer buys women in their 30s and 60s are wholeheartedly agreeing on.
Polo Sweaters

If there were one knitwear trend defining summer style, it would be the polo sweater. People are still loving a classic prep, and it looks good styled with white denim, tailored shorts, or a sleek slip skirt.
