8 Best Spring Fashion Trends for Women Over 50
#1. Blue & White Striped Shirts
First up on my list is a classic blue and white striped shirt. These shirts are usually made of cotton, so they're easy to care for. They have vertical lines, flattering on almost every figure type. They're also easy to pair with other items in your wardrobe, such as white jeans, chinos, and black accessories. You can even wear them with suiting for a more elegant look.
But blue and white striped shirts aren't just for a classic and cool look. You can also style them more femininely, with ruffles and puff sleeves. Pair them with a green silk skirt, shorts, and fun accessories from Kate Spade.
#2. Gingham Check
Next on my list is gingham, another quintessential spring favorite. We usually see it in all the traditional colors like red and navy, but this year, we're also seeing it in some updated colors, such as soft blues. You can find gingham in short, midi, and maxi dresses.
The key to wearing gingham is to wear only one piece at a time, like a dress or a shirt, and pair it with simple accessories.

#3. Spring Green
Nothing says spring to me like green, mainly kelly green or spring green. This color is everywhere this season, from blouses and shirts to sweaters and shorts.
You can find it in accessories like sneakers, jewelry, headbands, and handbags. Pair it with navy for a fresh and updated look when styling green.

#4. Tweed Jackets
Tweed jackets are still around this spring but in gorgeous spring colors. We see them on high-end runways in bright colors like pink, blue, and green.
You'll have these jackets for years, and they pair beautifully with white jeans or dark denim.

#5. Linen
Linen is always a classic option for spring and summer, creating the coastal grandma vibe, so many of us love.
We usually see it in neutral colors, but you can add color to your linen wardrobe with pieces like linen pants, tunics, and dresses. These are pieces that you will have for years to come.

#6. Spring Bags & Totes
One of my favorite ways to update my wardrobe quickly and easily for spring is with bags and totes. You can go for classic shapes and colors like black and tan or have fun with patterns and prints.

#7. Denim Trends
This season, the denim trends seem to be all over the place! And guess what - they are! You can wear skinny, bootcut, or loose and baggy denim.
Denim is a big trend this year that all those styles are in.
The key to wearing denim is in balancing the proportions of your outfit.
If you choose jeans that are skinny, narrow, or straight-legged, you can wear a looser fitting or boxier top.
When choosing wide-legged or loose jeans be sure to pair them with a more fitted top.
Following these proportions will keep your outfit from looking frumpy or dumpy.

#8. Skirts
Skirts are trending this season, and I'm so glad they're back!
We are seeing them in mini, midi, and maxi lengths. Just like I mentioned with the denim trends above, the key is to balance your proportions.
If you choose a mini or above-the-knee skirt, you can pair it with a blazer, sweater, or loose blouse.
When wearing midi and maxi lengths skirts, opt for more fitted tops to balance the look and let the skirt be the star of the outfit.
