Kaftan dresses
If you live in a warmer place, or looking to pack for a vacation, a kaftan dress is one of the best options.
These dresses fit roomy on your body, making you feel at ease to move around, even when it gets hot.
Opt for your favorite prints or colors and throw on a pair of flat sandals for a relaxed yet chic outfit.
Wear Vibrant Turtlenecks
Turtleneck sweaters aren’t your run-of-the-mill knits – they’re a must-have for anyone craving cozy-chic sophistication, regardless of their age. Wearing this in more vibrant colors not only envelops you in luxurious warmth, but also gives your skin tone a more radiant glow.
Our skin tends to get duller as we grow older, so wearing brighter colors such as pastel pink, canary yellow, or orange, can really add to that youthful vibe without trying too hard.
Opt for Neutral Colors
Neutral colors are simply timeless and as we all know, classic colors like black, white, brown, and beige will always transcend fashion trends. Clothing pieces that come in neutral hues can be worn year after year without appearing outdated, which can make them a practical choice for mature women who may prefer investing in pieces that last.
Apart from its classic charm, choosing neutral colors also simplifies the process of putting together an outfit because they effortlessly coordinate with each other and with a variety of accessories. This can save time and effort, especially for those who prefer a more streamlined approach to dressing.
Girlfriend Jeans
Girlfriend jeans are similar to boyfriend jeans but have a less baggy fit in the less as compared to boyfriend jeans. They are perfect for showing off your shape and curves as they hug your body curves perfectly.
You can pair up the same tops with girlfriend jeans by tucking them in. They are perfect for thin legs with sneakers or sandals. You can also fold the bottom of your girlfriend’s jeans to show off your thin ankles.
Structured Blazers
Are you thinking about how a structured blazer could revolutionize your wardrobe, especially in your 50s? Well, they effectively define your waist and streamline your getup!
However, it’s not just about style; it’s about owning your confidence and authority. Slip into one of these tailored wonders and feel empowered in any room!
Who said neutral had to be boring? Khaki or black, the choice is yours for endless versatility.
Straight Jeans
The straight leg is the hottest trend right now, but they are also one of the most flattering classic cuts for denim.
For a balanced style, pair straight leg jeans with loose blouses or flowy tops. Tops with long and flared sleeves look stylish with straight leg jeans too.
Wear Tailored Coats
The proper fit plays a very important role in making you look more graceful and sophisticated in your 50s. This is why tailored coats can be a great choice because it can give your silhouette more structure.
Tailored coats also give off the bespoke vibe that gives the impression of high-quality elegance that can surely elevate your overall look.
3/4 Sleeve Dresses
When you are over 60, the sleeves for the dresses matter a lot.
One of the main concerns for many ladies over 60 is flabby arms, which is why they do not want to leave their arms uncovered. There can be many reasons for that, but no matter what reason you have, going for a 3/4 sleeve dress is going to achieve a fine balance of covering your arms and also flatter your shape.
The reason is 3/4 sleeve length ends on your wrist, drawing attention to the smallest part of your arms, which is a very feminine way to dress over 60, without being revealing at all.
Dress length is tricky for every woman, regardless of age. When you’re over 60, it begins to cause even more confusion.
Traditionally speaking, when you’re over 60, you want to make sure you’re dressed age appropriately.
Wear Cozy Knit Dresses
As we all age, comfort becomes a priority in terms of clothing choices. This is why I felt the need to include wearing knit dresses in this list because of how soft, stretchy, and comfortable they are to wear.
Knit dresses, especially those that come in plain and neutral colors, allow you to accessorize without looking tacky. Its simplicity serves as a canvas for style accessories like belts, scarves, or jewelry pieces.
Bright T-shirt dresses
The second best casual sundress to try is a t-shirt sundress. Yep, I told you sundresses can be cute, flattering AND comfortable. T-shirt sundresses are SUPER comfortable and perfection for your casual time.
Wear Utility Jumpsuits
Are you up to redefining your style with a denim jumpsuit? For women in their 50s, this structured silhouette offers more than just fashion—it’s about empowerment.
A utility jumpsuit offers a streamlined look that underlines your figure, whereas the denim fabric provides comfort and durability. Additionally, the jumpsuit’s one-piece design eliminates the need for coordinating separate pieces, making it a convenient option for any event.Â
Wear Hooded Cardigan
Hooded cardigan is not only comfortable but also stylish. It is easy to dress them up or down, and they’ll never fail to impress.
Flowy linen dresses
Linen dresses are the favorites for many women, especially if you live in a warmer area.
Because the fabrics are structured, linen dresses can make you look more expensive even when on a budget.
The key is to look for a waist definition and avoid anything that is too baggy.
Black jeans
A pair of black jeans is a classic that women of any age group should have.
This is a wardrobe staple that you can wear year-around, and they go with just about any tops in your closet.
Choose any leg shape you prefer, and they are versatile whether you go with straight leg or skinny.
Wear Midi Skirts
Midi skirts are a stylish staple for women in their 60s who know how to look elegant in any season.
For fall and winter, opt for thick fabrics such as wool or wool blend, which not only make you look chic but also keep you warm. In spring and summer, opt for lightweight fabric to keep you cool and comfortable while the relaxed silhouette drapes beautifully, flattering your figure with every step.
Linen Shift Dress
My other go-to dress silhouette for women over 60 is the shift dress.
If you’re not familiar with shift dresses, they’re essentially a straight fit that fits the body (not skin tight, just fitted).
It’s a rather simple dress style which is what makes it perfect for mature women to dress age appropriately.
Try Pastel Colors
Sure, neutral shades are timeless and that’s why they are pretty much your foolproof choice when it comes to styling. But this shouldn’t limit you from exploring brighter colors, especially those that are cool to the sight like pastel colors.
Pastel colors possess a subtle luminosity, which helps brighten up the complexion and therefore create a more youthful look. Brighter pastels like baby pink, sky blue, and lilac can be really great options for bringing additional radiance especially when you pair them with white clothing pieces and accessories!
Wear a Denim Jacket
If you feel like giving your ensembles or dresses a casual touch, the easy way to do it is to throw on a nice denim jacket! They are also incredibly versatile so you can wear them on a number of occasions and can also adapt to transitioning weather.
As I have mentioned earlier, structure is quite essential for women in their 60s and denim jackets typically have a structured silhouette that can help define the waist and create a flattering shape. This brings more shape and depth to your look while keeping a casual and elegant aesthetic to your overall ensemble.
Wide Leg Jeans
Want comfort and fashion in one go? Wide-leg jeans are your best bet!
Wide-leg jeans are perfect for summer when you need a little air to your legs. Go for a pair that reveals your ankles and makes your legs look longer.
Pair sleeveless tops or tank tops with wide-leg jeans. These jeans already have a lot of fabric to them so you don’t need to do much on the torso area.
Wear Plaid Skirts
Plaid skirts give you that perfect balance between being age-appropriate and fashion-forward, and that is what makes them a great choice for women in their 60s who want to look stylish without feeling like they’re trying too hard to keep up with younger trends. The classic appeal of plaid never goes out of style, which makes their beauty still wearable in years to come.
They also have been a fashion staple for decades and this particularly timeless quality makes plaid skirts a versatile and enduring addition to a woman’s wardrobe. You can easily pair them with a number of classic pieces to put together a classy look.
Try Belted Jumpsuits
Giving your outfit a sense of cohesiveness effortlessly brings elegance and balance to your look. Skin tone jumpsuits blend seamlessly with the natural tones of your skin which can also be particularly flattering for mature women who may prefer a more understated style.
As mentioned earlier in this post, neutral colors such as skin tones have a timeless quality that is suitable for different seasons. Opting for a skin tone jumpsuit can give you that sophisticated and minimalist aesthetic that can make you look fashionable without the need for too much accessorizing.
Slim Fit Jeans
If you don’t like the way skinny jeans feel you can go for slim-fit ones. They fit like skinny jeans but don’t make you feel comfortable. They also provide enough room for your thighs and hips to accommodate.
Slim-fit jeans are the easiest to style. You can pair them up with a button-down shirt, wrap-around blouse, short tops, tank tops, or anything you can come across.
You can dress up or down with slim-fit jeans according to the occasion. A sequin cami top over slim-fit jeans and high heels is perfect for dressing up.
Waist cinching tops
Tops that cinch your waist should be a wardrobe staple for women of any age.
Many women have the impression that once you are past certain age, you should default to loosely fitted tops.
It is quite the opposite.
When you wear a top that shows your waist, it immediately makes you look younger, and vice versa.
Cashmere sweaters
When you put on a sweater, the fabric used to make the sweater can often have a large impact on the way the sweater fits and how fashionable it is.
Cashmere sweaters are both sophisticated and beautiful for every woman who wears them. The soft material is warm and welcoming.
Cashmere sweaters are an ideal choice for women over 60 because they are dressy, classy, and comfortable all at once. This is the perfect style of sweater for women who want to stay warm while also avoiding sweaters that are aging.
