Modern Wearable Jeans for Women Over 50

It’s no secret that I love great jeans. One look at my closet reveals them in all colors and washes. More often than not, my casual lifestyle leads me to wear a cozy sweater and some jeans this time of year, so today I’m sharing a few ways I like to style modern jeans for women over 50.

I’m back with my friend Cindy for our monthly Style Over 50 edit and we’re talking about jeans.

If you check the internet, you will see many articles investigating whether we are too old to wear jeans after 50. What do you think? At what age should you stop wearing jeans?

I think we should stop wearing jeans when we feel ready. If you are unsure, ask yourself these questions:

• do they still fit my lifestyle?
• Are they sending the message I want my clothes to send?
• are they comfortable?
• do they make me feel like myself

Jeans come in many silhouettes, sizes, washes and leg shapes; There is a great pair of jeans for every woman who wants to wear it outside.

So let’s take a look at some modern styles and ways to wear them.

Straight Leg Jeans

A classic straight leg is my current favourite. They’re looser than skinny, but not sloppy. They are usually worn at the hips and land directly at the ankle, providing a nice space in the thigh area.

petite jeans

If you’re petite, buy your bootcut and baggy jeans in the petite section. Shortening them removes some of the width at the bottom of the leg, which can distort the shape. You can find great petite jeans at: J Jill, Penthouse, Talbots, J crew, Madewell, banana republicand anthropology.

Flare or Bootcut Jeans

Boot cut jeans are universally flattering on all body types. Their timeless silhouettes look great with flats, low heels or, unsurprisingly, booties. They provide great balance for all body shapes and balance for wider hips, broad shoulders or full tummy. These can be tight or graze the thighs and then expand from the knee down.

skinny jeans

Are they dead? Do you care? It’s no secret that the skinny jeans trend has been slowly fading over the past few seasons. I hope they will remain a wardrobe staple for many women because their narrow calves make them the best jeans to fit inside over the knee boots. Are you wearing tight jeans?

Versatile Jeans

I find it easier to wear dark wash jeans than lighter washes. How about with a silk blouse and pearls? It was a pleasure to find this machine washable silk blouse. I’m not sure how Quince is able to produce such high quality pieces at these prices, but I’m excited about them. This blouse comes in twelve colors. They are also a notched collar version is here this one is coastal pink in my basket. These wide leg jeans were too short in petite so I bought the regular size. The website makes them look really short, which I think looks a bit ridiculous.

High Waist Jeans

These sit at or above your natural waistline. High waisted jeans are great for camouflaging tummy bulges and preventing muffin tops. If you have a short torso and/or are petite, you can get the same benefit from medium waist jeans. The low-rise is outdated right now, but I’ve been hearing some bad rumors that they’ll be back.

Canadian Tuxedo

We can’t talk about jeans and we don’t remember the Canadian Tuxedo. Popularized by Bing Crosby, wearing two or more pieces of jeans in a single outfit will be a big trend by 2023. suit… though I’m not against that either.

I love my love these Loft jeans! They are very affordable and have everything I want. They have a high waist, slim hips, a nice wash for spring, a finished hem, and enough spandex to be super comfortable. I tried the petite one which was a bit too short so I took the regular one and will wear them with these block heel boots or wrap the edges if they don’t pull.

affordable jeans

I have to be a reverse snob when it comes to jeans. I’ve had very expensive pairs that ended up with bent seams after the first wash. I also have jeans that are super affordable and look like a million bucks. I say get the one that fits your budget best.

Extra tips on jeans
