Fashion for women over 50 is far from dull or outdated. It’s a realm brimming with opportunities to experiment, reinvent, and reinvigorate your style. So delve in and let your wardrobe reflect the fabulous fifty-something that you are!
In fact, there’s an inspiring list of A-list celebrities who are redefining style norms for women in their 50s. Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, Thandie Newton, and JLo, among others, are setting the style bar extremely high, proving that age is just a number when it comes to stunning trends and sophisticated chic.
One of the key pieces that can revolutionize your wardrobe post-50s is a pair of great-fitting pants. High-waisted pants in a lightweight wool blend are a perfect choice. Wool/Lycra provides the best mix of comfort and elegance. Opt for staple colors like black, charcoal, or navy – or better yet, grab a pair in each color. These can be your go-to pants all year long. The right cut of these pants can accentuate your figure while offering you the comfort you need.
Wide leg pants
Can ordinary over 50-year-olds pull it off? Sure we can. Thanks to their flattering silhouette, these pants are great for women of all ages, heights, and body shapes. They accentuate your waist and can hide a multitude of lower body sins, creating the illusion of an hourglass figure.

Tank tops or sleeveless turtleneck
Buy these staples in bulk, once you find the ones you like best. Get them in white, black, and cream to wear under all your new cardigans, jackets, blouses, and sweaters. I wear them under almost everything for a smoother look.
Tip: The fit should be snug, so size down if necessary, and make sure they’re long enough to tuck in and stay put. Uniqlo, Target, Gap, and Spanx all have great tanks.
Slit skirts or wrap skirt
Skirts with a slit on the front or either side are like that one piece of clothing that looks ravishing without trying.
A vest or a cardigan
I love a vest. Whether it’s a structured or a cozy oversized knit, they never fail to complete any outfit — and keep us comfy.
