HOW TO LOOK STYLISH OVER 70

Welcome back to my fashion blog my beautiful ladies! how have you been? I don’t think I’ve told you this before, but I am so ridiculously in love with a guy right now. Seriously, I think he’s the sweetest thing ever and I love the way he treats me, which is probably why my brain has decided that this is the perfect moment to become extremely insecure about absolutely everything. I hate feeling like that because one minute I’m happy and enjoying everything, and the next I’m analyzing the smallest detail like I’m conducting an FBI investigation. The good thing is that he has absolutely no idea this blog exists or at least I think he doesn’t, so technically this is still our little corner of the internet where I can overshare in peace. Anyway, before I turn this into a relationship diary instead of a fashion blog, today we’re talking about how to look stylish over 70, because one thing I will forever defend is that great style does not suddenly disappear when you reach a certain age.

And looking at today’s outfits, I think they prove exactly that. What I love about stylish women over 70 is that the best looks usually aren’t about chasing every new trend; they’re about knowing how to combine classic pieces in a way that still feels interesting and modern. Wide leg jeans with a simple navy knit, a beautiful checked blazer over denim, burgundy trousers with a structured jacket, or a relaxed button down paired with a long neutral skirt can look incredibly chic without feeling overly dressed up. The secret is often in the little styling details: rolling up your blazer sleeves, popping the collar of a denim shirt, adding a brooch, wearing a silk scarf, choosing an unexpected burgundy accessory, or pairing tailored pieces with sneakers instead of heels. I especially love the combination of denim, camel, navy, chocolate brown and burgundy in these outfits because they feel timeless while still having so much personality. And please don’t think you have to abandon color, prints or fun accessories after 70, if anything, those are exactly the details that can make a simple wardrobe feel much more personal.

So if you’re trying to refresh your wardrobe, my biggest advice would be to start with pieces you can actually imagine wearing again and again. A great pair of straight or wide-leg jeans, tailored trousers, a beautiful blazer, comfortable sneakers, a crisp shirt and a few lightweight knits can give you so many combinations without needing an enormous closet. From there, add the fun things: a printed scarf tied around your neck, a statement necklace, a beautiful leather bag, a patterned jacket or even a rich wine colored piece when you want something a little more dramatic. Comfort absolutely matters, but comfortable does not have to mean boring and elegant doesn’t have to mean overly formal either. The outfits below are proof that you can look polished, current and completely yourself at 70, 75, 80 and beyond. So scroll down for all the inspiration, save the combinations you love and as always, tell me which outfit you would actually wear because I already know I’m stealing more than one idea from this list.
