Summer Fashion Favorites Over 50
The Effortless Summer Dress I Keep Reaching For
Some dresses are made for repeat wear, and this one is it. The Suvi Dress from J.McLaughlin is a perfect mix of flow and structure, thanks to its flattering silhouette and soft fabric. I styled it with a bamboo-handle handbag and nude sandals—easy elegance at its finest. For accessories, I reached for a favorite stack: my caviar bangle, two-tone stud earrings, and caviar watchband.
A Polished Way to Style a Button-Up This Summer
A button-up and wide-leg denim are summer staples I never tire of. I wore this Frank & Eileen Relaxed Button-Up with wide-leg jeans and slide sandals for an easy weekday look. Lightweight and breathable, it’s one of those pieces that can do it all—great for lunch out or even a casual Friday.

Nothing beats a cotton shirtdress for summer polish. This one from UNTUCKit is crisp, flattering, and incredibly comfortable.

My Style Rules After 50
Style over 50 is about confidence, comfort, and curating pieces that feel like you. When something works, I wear it on repeat—and there’s no shame in that! Whether it’s a crisp button-up, a flattering cotton dress, or a simple sandal that pulls a look together, these are the staples that do the heavy lifting. Here are 3 easy tips:
1. Invest in quality over quantity
A well-made piece will outlast trends and countless washes—think fewer items, better fabrics, and superior tailoring.
2. Lean into timeless silhouettes
Clean lines, structured shapes, and classic cuts will always flatter and feel current, no matter the season or your age.
3. Don’t underestimate the power of a great accessory to elevate your everyday
The right belt, bag, or bold earring can take even the simplest outfit from basic to beautifully polished.
