We understand that women over the age of 40 don't often favor the young trends of skinny jeans, neon tanks, and animal prints, so here are three classic weekend outfits just for you. We've done this by using pieces with clean lines & classic colors, creating looks that are casual yet sophisticated.
Outdoor Dining
Cotton Floral-Print Full Skirt SALE $24.99 at Banana Republic
This neutral combination is perfect for going out to lunch on a warm summer day.Too dull for you? Brighten it up with a nice pair of sandals, and feminine accessories such as bracelets and a belt (not too chunky) in complementary colors. If you don't like these pieces, pair any sleeveless (silk) blouse with a knee-length skirt in a sophisticated pattern/print.
Backyard BBQ
Wear this ensemble and you'll be backyard barbeque-ready. This outfit is perfectly porportioned, with a classic bright-over-dark silhouette.
Out and AboutWashed Chambray Perfect Shirt $78.00 at J Crew
Stripe Cotton Popover $68.00 at J Crew
Low-Rise Boot Cut White Jeans SALE $44.99 at Gap
This set is a great twist on a classic weekend outfit. Swap out your old blue jeans for crisp white ones, and wear a shirt with an unusual design or fabric instead of your average button-down. This is suitable for almost any occasion, from strolling along the beach to hanging out at a friend's outdoor party. Choose the striped top for a nautical look, and try the chambray shirt for something a little more put-together. As for accessories, keep it minimal; just add, perhaps, a bold necklace, for a feminine touch.
I'm really liking the piped blouse with boot cut jeans. Looks like I'm going to have to go to Gap :) I also like the blue and white outfit (I prefer the chambray shirt)- it's perfect for hanging out in the summer! These are all great ideas. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI missed this post! What lovely outfits! I would wear them all, and I am over 40, as you may know already, so these are great for me! Thanks, and keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThe stripe popover shirt looks so comfy! I love that style. Great looks for older women.
