Fashion Tips for Outfits for Women Over 40

Just because you are a woman over 40 doesn’t mean you can’t still dress stylish and fashion forward. In fashion there are no rules, and you should wear what makes you look comfortable. However, here are some fashion tips for women over 40 and for women over 50.

Don’t be Afraid to Wear Bright Colors

Bright colors are flattering on almost everyone, and they instantly make you look happier and more youthful. Wear bright colors such as orange, pink, yellow and more. Below I have styled a few outfits with kelly green, light blue, and coral to instantly brighten your day and your outfit!

Wear Skirts and Shorts at a Longer Length

Knee length skirts and shorts are extremely flattering for older women. A short skirt just screams you are trying to hard, and can look tacky in some instances. A midi is very classy and polished looking. Try a midi skirt like the one I styled below. The same can be said for shorts. While shorts that hit above the knee are perfectly fine, you may want to stay away from booty shorts, even if you have a nice behind. Bermuda shorts are a good length for older women, that provide coverage while still being perfect for hotter summer weather.

Avoid High, High Heels

If you can wear high heels, then wear them! However, once you reach a certain age, it might be time to retire 5-inch heels. Flats or smaller heels don’t have to be frumpy. I’ve styled below in my outfits for women over 40, looks with really cute flat sandals, mid size heels and wedges. Not only are they cute and stylish, but also comfortable and practical to wear.

Outfits for Women over 40

I have styled 10 outfits to give you ideas of what to wear over 40. The looks are still stylish, trendy or classic (depending on your preference), and ultra-flattering to an older woman. These outfits include casual weekend looks, looks for the office, a night out, and more. Check them out and let me know which one is your favorite.

White Denim Spring Outfit Inspiration

It’s spring so it’s time to finally bring out those crisp white denim jeans. Add a coral colored top for a fun pop of color. Keep your look clean with white accessories for a spring outfit that is cute and comfortable. You can also try a pair of white boots instead for another spring or summer outfit.

Who says a woman over 40 can’t wear animal print? No one! Try an animal print skirt with some classic black accessories for an edgy spring outfit.

Spring Work to Weekend Transition Outfit

Be spring ready for the office with some plaid pants and a grey cardigan. Take the look into the weekend with a pair of pale pink sneakers for a casual spring outfit.

I love a boho inspired blouse with a pair of skinny jeans for style inspiration for spring. Add a pair of ankle booties and a hat for more spring style over 40.

Keep it sexy and fun with a floral dress and a pair of nude heels. This outfit is also perfect for a beach wedding guest outfit over 50.

Although many of these outfits are cute (if basic), I find your comments condescending. You seem like you are a girl in her 20’s trying to tell women 40+ (how many times do you say 40+? Are you trying to hit the buzz word here?) how to not be hideous. Get a grip and know your audience.

  Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t been in my 20’s for awhile, and I would wear any of these outfits. Yes, my outfits may be considered “basic” but I like to create outfits that are attainable, shoppable / easy to replicate, and wearable any day of the week at any age to inspire my readers’ own personal style. I hope this context helps! Thanks for visiting!
