Let’s get one thing straight: old-fashioned and classic are not the same things. Some of your classic pieces can look like million-dollar pieces with a tone of elegance and taste put into them, while others can be completely inappropriate for today’s fashion standards, and you can look like a time traveler in them. So before we start giving you hints on how to dress for your fabulous 50’s, let’s clear out your closet of such items.

Avoid Old-Fashioned Matching Suits for Women Over 50

Dressing in those once-trendy suits is one definite way to seem decades older and unpleasant. There are more aspects to looking beautiful and sophisticated in your 50’s than suiting up in matchy tops and bottoms like the queen.

Believe it or not, you don’t have to match colors in your outfits and accessories to look great; you can let your creativity and taste shine through by experimenting with different shades of the same color or other complementary hues when selecting jewelry, shoes, belts, scarves, and other accessories.

Adding different textures, colors, and patterns to your overall look can be a great way to give it a modern aesthetic twist, and the added details will allow you to look different every time you wear the same outfit; you don’t have to stick to the style any longer; instead, express your own fashion on the style.

Outdated Styles for Women over 50

This tip may seem self-evident, but it is especially crucial for an aging lady in her 50s and beyond. Any frumpy clothes will make you appear much older than you are, and the old-fashioned feature of it will be much more noticeable when worn by a mature lady. Some pieces, however, are timeless and should be kept to be beautifully accentuated with modern accessories.

Steer Clear From Ill Fitting Outfits

Ill-fitting clothing should be avoided by people of all ages, but it is especially important for aging women to avoid it since it may exaggerate bodily defects and showcase age, even more, making you appear unfit and sloppy.

Knowing how to flaunt the contour of your body in proper items of clothing that compliment the greatest aspects and disguise the defects is the secret to trendy dressing beyond 50.

Ill-fitting clothes may not be the best choice for the changes your figure is going through as you get older, and this discussion isn’t just about ill-fitting clothing; any pieces you have that start to fit differently or make you look drab and unorganized should be replaced with new, updated pieces.

Ditch your Fleece Jackets

Fleece jackets can be a cozy quick fix if you’re going grocery shopping or walking the dogs in, but when they become your comfort zone, your go-to for family gatherings, workdays, or evenings out with friends, they’re a major fashion red flag to avoid. Even if they provide all the comfort and warmth you need, fleece jackets generally lack any sense of fashion or style.

Instead, go for a knitted slouchy sweater with soft or structured knitting to seem more intricate; colors and designs will vary depending on your body type, but neutral hues will offer a gentle, delicate statement and make your piece more adaptable to mix with everything.

Clothes that Show too Much Skin

In your fifties, your dress code should be kept on the conservative side. That doesn’t mean abandoning pieces you feel confident in or giving up the luxury of showing a little skin every now and then. However, showing too much skin on a frequent basis tend to give an aged appeal you want to avoid.

You should still wear clothes that show off your beauty and femininity, and you may do so without showing too much flesh by picking form-fitting textures and layers.

What to Wear Over the Age of 50

Jeans for Every Occasion

Make sure you have one of these core jeans, a dark denim boot-cut pair of jeans, a dark denim straight-leg cut jeans, and a white pair with either a fitted or straight-cut leg, to reduce your wardrobe to the fundamentals that will serve you well on just about every occasion.

However avoid skinny jeans that once were a universal trend; besides being unflattering for most bodies, they will not cater to your over 50’s fashion needs. Instead, opt for the straight or boot-cut jeans that you can effortlessly pair with just about any ballet slippers, trainers, loafers, or boots for cooler days.

Find the Perfectly Comfy Leggings

Comfy leggings are nothing like skinny jeans; Leggings are a wardrobe essential that you can’t go without, and they’ll be your go-to option for an attractive and practical look. They’ll go with your usual casual outfit without conflicting with your conservative look.

They’re so adaptable that you can pair them with almost any tunic and flat shoes to like you’re wearing something new every time, just make sure you wear a dress that covers your leggings all the way to your knees or slightly higher to hide any unwanted bulges in the middle.

Cardigans

These are your year-round cure for adding layers and color pop to your drab clothing; they also double as a cover-up for your arms on days when you don’t want to show them off. Look for items with only one or two colors, full to three-quarter sleeves, and a little smaller fit than your original size. They are merely meant to cover the arm and create a discreet statement rather than to replace a typical sweater.

Short cardigans that fall to your hips or slightly higher look lovely with almost any pair of trousers or skirts; you can even wear them with dresses for the extra sophistication of the layered look; Long cardigans, on the other hand, look great with straight-leg jeans, slacks, or fitted dresses; however, never wear them closed to avoid looking frumpy.
