Are you over 50 and wondering if there are some things you should stop wearing? Well, let me start off by saying you can and should wear anything you WANT to but only wear things that make you feel like a better, more confident version of yourself! I always say to pay attention to how you FEEL when you put something on. Do the clothes you put on your body give you a good feeling and make you feel like a more confident version of yourself? If the answer is no then stop wearing that, whatever THAT is. It really can be that simple.
Since I just turned 50 last November I thought it would be a perfect time to share 4 things that I will no longer wear. I made a video about this topic with my best friend and fellow influencer, Cathy, of The Middle Page so feel free to check that out as well. That video already has over 80K views!!
We each share 4 things (some are different and some are the same) that we won’t wear now that we’re over 50. So keep scrolling to check the 4 items I’ll be passing on; Not because of my age, but more because I just don’t feel like the best version of myself when I wear them.
What do you love wearing? What clothes do you put on that make you feel confident and amazing?
SHOP THE LOOK (LEATHER JACKET IS ON SALE):
WON'T WEAR OVER SIZED JACKETS PAIRED WITH BAGGY JEANS OR PANTS - WILL WEAR FITTED/CROPPED JACKETS:
One trend I’ve been seeing lately is wearing an oversized top with baggy jeans and I have to say, I’m not a big fan. I have always liked to have a well-balanced outfit and that’s exactly what I’ll continue to wear. A fitted cropped jacket like this camel leather bomber jacket is better for my petite frame and just looks more put together in my opinion! I wear an XS in this gorgeous camel jacket that also happens to be over $100 off right now!
BOMBER JACKET (XS) // TANK (XS) // MOTHER JEANS (24) // SIMILAR HANDBAG // SNEAKERS – FOR LESS // HAT
SHOP THE LOOK:
WON'T WEAR CRAZY LOUD PRINTS - WILL WEAR SOLIDS AND NEUTRALS:
Next on my list of 4 things over 50 women should never wear is crazy loud prints. I’ve honestly never been a big fan, and as I’ve gotten older and I see other women my age wearing them I honestly think it can look like we’re trying too hard to dress younger. Not ALL prints, and as I said above, if you love to wear them and they make you feel amazing, DO it! I’ll be sticking to more solid neutral colors like this chic bomber jacket from BLANKNYC that can easily be dressed up or down. I wear an XS and it fits true to size.
SHOP THE LOOK:
WON'T WEAR OVERLY RIPPED DENIM - WILL WEAR SLIGHTLY RIPPED JEANS OR JEANS WITH NO RIPS:
N0. 3 on my list of 4 things over 50 women should never wear is overly distressed or ripped jeans. Now the key word here for me is OVERLY ripped denim because I do love a little distressing on my jeans. If you want to know why Cathy won’t wear them at all, give the video a watch, I promise the answer is worth it haha! Instead, I’ll opt for more denim like this versatile pair from Agolde. These are the best jeans to wear with boots and booties HANDS-DOWN and they look fab with heels and sneakers too! I wear a size 24 and they fit true to size.
SHOP THE LOOK:
TWEED JACKET (XS) // BODYSUIT (XS) // CUFFED JEANS (24) // HANDBAG // HEELS
WON'T WEAR SKY HIGH HEELS I CAN'T WALK IN - WILL WEAR 4 INCH HEELS OR BELOW:
Last but not least on my list of 4 things over 50 women should never wear is heels you can’t walk in! In my 20’s and 30’s, I would wear the highest heels I could get away with, whether they hurt me or not. Well, I’m here to say that beauty does NOT have to equal pain, and a 4″ heel will still do wonders for your silhouette. These silver slingbacks with a low heel are the perfect example. They are so wearable and comfortable for a heel and they still put a spring in my strut 😉
