↓ 4 – Chic Style
You don’t have to try too hard to be chic, just let go and work through your closet. A chic look can be created by mixing it up. Combine different patterns and textures, different colors. Don’t try to match it all up, because the key to chic is letting go. A good strategy for dressing chic is by layering contrasting items and wrapping the outfit up with a cohesive accessory.
↓ 3 – Skirts
Skirts are a great look for middle-aged women. The garment adds an elegant flair to any top. They can be worn to a formal, casual, or business casual gathering. A pencil skirt or an A-line skirt like the one below goes great with button-ups. However, you should avoid baggy puckered skirts that give off a very drab vibe. Floor-length skirts paired with printed loose tops are great for a boho-chic style. Wearing heels with skirts is always a better choice than flats.
↓ 2 – For Short Height Women
Some women lose their height as they age due to worsened posture, whereas some are naturally petite. Either way, you can add length to your form by wearing long dresses with mid-calf hemlines.
Similarly, high-lo shirts create a heightened impact. Go for tapered capri pants – yes, you can wear Capri pants even if you are short in height. We have already covered in detail tips on how to wear capris if you are short.
↓ 1 – Plus Size Women
Body positivity is vital for you to look your best. Many plus-sized women think that they look unflattering because of their body type. You do not need to be a stick, thin billowy model to dress well. You just need to know what works well for you.
Shirts with a slightly flared or A-line style hemline will add an hourglass effect to your silhouette. Length is key to creating a good look. Longer T-shirts and tunics look elegant and go great with straight legged pants. Remember, the key to looking good is not hiding your body in shapeless clothes, but enhancing it with the right cuts.
Short Height Curvy Women
It’s best to go for a layered look that will add length and style. You can achieve this by using long shirts, jackets, and sweaters. Sweaters are a staple piece that you must have in your closet in at least 4-5 different colors and styles. Look for statement-making sweaters with attractive necklines, sleeves or embellishments on them.
Travelling Outfit
How do celebrities always seem to have their traveling fashion always so flawless? With the right tips, you can utilize your tiny baggage space to achieve endless outfit options. A long dress, a jacket, a scarf, a pair of black tights and sneakers. These are some of the absolute essentials that you need to keep with you when travelling. You can mix and match these items with other pieces from your wardrobe to create several different combinations for every day of your travel plan. Here are 30 Best Summer Travelling Outfits for Women Over 50.
Hairstyle
Most women in their 50s have thin hair which lacks volume – but that doesn’t mean the end of stylish hair for you. Short hair or bob cuts are the most convenient choices; these hairstyles do not require much care, giving you free time to focus on more productive hobbies instead. And there are endless options like pixie cuts, layered bobs, or shag cuts ala Diana. Here are a few women in their 50s with beautiful hairstyles that you can take inspiration from.
This beauty can be seen donning a blonde pixie cut. The pops of red over a dull outfit create a snappy effect. Add some aviators and become the very picture of chic.
If you still think that you can’t make short hair look glamorous, take a look at this gorgeous woman rocking her greys. The shaggy boots, lacy dress, and the coat all create a very stylish Cruella-esque look.

My problem is my kids say I’m too old to wear things like skirts with cowboy boots and shirt dresses with my cowboy boots. I love wearing dresses and I love my cowboy boots, Do I have to give them up just because I’m over 60?
Not at all! If you like wearing them and feel like you pull them off then continue wearing them no matter what anyone says. We see 80+ ladies rocking skirts, dresses and boots so why can’t you.

OMG these are shockingly bad. Who are you people? Are you from space???????
I love the corset look. I want to wear one but at 52, not quite shaped like I used to be. I was thinking about the “corset” over long white boyfriend shirt, black boot cut jeans, and black leather blazer. The corset is black/mint green/ and purple. I was going to wear it with a nice ankle boot…any thoughts.
You will look amazing if you wear it confidently.
The color choice is very good!
