Floral flared dress

Let’s start with florals (and you’re going to see a lot of them in this list!) – they are very elegant and feminine, which is why they make a chic design for flared dresses. Plus, the flared silhouette brings a better balance between your upper and lower body.

Polkadot top with white A-line skirt

Polkadot prints inject a sense of fun and vitality to your look but if you don’t want it to look too heavy, you can balance it out with a white skirt. I suggest you go for an A-line skirt for that universally flattering silhouette!

Fitted floral wrap dress

One way to embrace florals is to have them in a fitted floral wrap dress. The silhouette and waist cinch of the wrap dress accentuate curves gracefully, while the prints bring a feminine and romantic aesthetic.

Vintage floral blouse with wide-leg pants

Wearing wide-leg pants can also help bring balance to a printed top, just like this vintage floral blouse right here. Choose a complementing color to ensure a polished look.

Floral dress with asymmetrical neckline

Go for something a bit more unique, just like a dress that has a flattering asymmetrical neckline. Floral prints are pretty common but the asymmetrical touch that the neckline creates can make your outfit look more distinct and unique.

Flutter sleeve top with high-waisted skirt

A plain high-waisted skirt can also soften up the prints of the top. In addition to this, the flutter sleeves are also great for women in their 60s because it has the comfort and airiness of a sleeveless top but provides more coverage.

Floral dress with leather boots

Leather boots are super edgy and their distinct texture is what makes it a good pair for heavily printed dresses. In this look we have here, brown ankle leather boots can go really well with a warm-toned floral maxi dress.

Purple satin dress

Another way to flaunt prints the classy way is to have them in a luxurious fabric as satin. The lustrous finish of the dress makes the prints stand out even more.

Floral maxi skirt with white V-neck

A basic white V-neck T-shirt can also be your ultimate companion when it comes to wearing prints. For a heavily printed floral maxi skirt, the plainness of the shirt makes the look proportionate.

Short sleeve dress with blue floral print

Short sleeve dresses can also be a comfy and modest choice for women in their 60s. Go for a short sleeve dress that features soft floral prints if you’re going for a classy summer look.

Floral button shirt top with jeans

The versatility of jeans makes them a good match for printed tops. Printed button shirts like this floral top right here can look sophisticated and relaxed at the same time when paired with jeans, resulting in a smart casual look.

Geometrical midi skirt with white shirt

Geometrical prints are also super stylish but because of how visually busy they are, they can look overwhelming. Wear them with a basic white button short and you can achieve a more muted but elegant look.

Floral chiffon skirt with white collared shirt

The graceful movement of a chiffon skirt creates a flattering silhouette and pairing it with a collared shirt can help you achieve a semi-formal outfit.

Statement jewelry with floral wrap dress

Wearing prints is all about balance, but then this shouldn’t really stop you if you’d like to go for something more loud and dramatic! A gorgeous floral wrap dress features an open V neckline and this creates abundant space for a stunning statement necklace.

Leopard top and beige skirt

Pairing a leopard top with a beige skirt offers a balanced blend of boldness and subtlety, and this allows you to infuse your wardrobe with playful prints while maintaining a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic.

Paisley kaftan dress

This clothing style can be a stellar choice for women over 60 because of how unique and elegant it is. The loose, flowing silhouette provides comfort and ease of movement, while the intricate Paisley print adds a touch of sophistication and cultural charm.

Printed dress with matching coat

Don’t you love the color-coordination on this one? It’s pretty much a monochromatic outfit but with a nice play with the plains and prints. The plain-colored structured coat balances out the heavy prints of the dress, making it look more stylish.

Puff sleeve top with gold jewelry

Incorporating elegant gold accents into your printed pieces can also bring a refined balance to your look. Look for jewelry that has a touch of gold for that sophisticated look.

Printed sash belt

If you’re not a huge fan of prints but you’d like to add some depth to your plain dress, try wearing a printed sash belt. Look for a belt that comes in a matching color for a cohesive look.

Lilac floral dress

You can also wear prints in a subtle way by looking for those that come in muted colors, such as lilac. This lilac floral dress is one example of a dainty style that also looks exquisite on women over 60.

Red dress with intricate detailing

Statement colors such as red can also be a canvas for intricate prints or details. The contrasting color of the print makes the dress look more unique and stunning.

Red floral wrap dress

A red floral wrap dress offers a striking look and the combination of the flattering silhouette of a wrap dress with the vibrancy of red florals makes it a great way to wear prints.

White jeans and printed wrap top

White jeans paired with a printed wrap top create a chic and modern ensemble. The contrast between the crisp white jeans and the vibrant print of the top adds visual interest, making it a stylish choice for women over 60 who love a good balance of elegant and casual.

V-neck polkadot top

A V-neck polka dot top is a classic and timeless piece that never goes out of style! The V-neckline also flatters the décolletage, adding a touch of femininity to the outfit.
