Polished Wardrobe Essentials for the Ageless Woman

Polished and Professional Outfits For Women That Are Always In Style

Picking classic, professional outfits for the over-50 woman is critical; even more so than it was when we were younger. We’ve outgrown following the latest fads or chasing the newest trends each year. And this maturity is reflected in our wardrobe, showing our more thoughtful approach to life. But that certainly doesn’t mean our wardrobes boring. We’re certainly not! What it does mean is that our wardrobes should be as ageless as we are. When I think about the items I turn to most in my closet, and consider wardrobe essentials, they are all classic pieces, e.g. a perfect pair of jeans that flatter my figure, layering knits, wool-cashmere blazer, modern loafers, and a bowler bag refined by clean lines.

Wardrobe essentials may vary for each of us depending on our lifestyle, body type, etc., but most women tend to wear the same things over and over. Determine what suits you best and then buy the best, because this is the foundation of your fashion. Below are some suggestions to get you started. Happy shopping!

Polished and Professional Outfits for Women

The Perfect Pair of Jeans

Every woman needs at least one pair that fits her perfectly. Read Jeans for Women Over 50: Comfort Meets Chic for tips on buying jeans, and a whole range of other styles and prices.

The Layering Knit

Tissue-light layers carry you from day to night with ease. Choose necklines and sleeve lengths based on how you best like to showcase your décolleté. Read The Basics for an All Black Wardrobe for more options, necklines, and price ranges.

The Tailored Blazer

A true wardrobe essential in every woman’s closet is a blazer. Your best bets are charcoal, navy, or camel; but nothing beats black for versatility. You’ll want to be able to wear them with jeans, pants, and dresses. This should be your biggest investment piece.

The Best Pair of Pants to Own

These are technically leggings, but fit more like pants. You can’t “wear them out” and they never lose their shape. Saks sells them year-round — they’re that good!

The Loafer

Your go-to shoe should be comfortable above all else. And you want a shoe that doesn’t go out of style. Soft driving loafers are minimalist and pair well, high or low.

The Bowler Bag

The simple lines of the classic bowler bag endure not just for design’s sake, form follows function with this bag. Most bowler bags are designed for women with busy lives and have compartments for the ultimate organization on top of style.

I Investigated: How Taylor Swift Stays Fit Enough to Perform For 3 Hours Straight

Life on tour is grueling (or so I’ve heard), but Taylor Swift could’ve fooled us with her seemingly effortless stamina throughout her 3-hour “The Eras Tour” show (complete with seamless outfit changes on stage, might I add). It got me wondering how she performs her way through 44 hits from her 10 studio albums without so much as breaking a sweat or popping one of the sequins off her red-and-sequined-snaked Reputation look. So naturally, I scoured the internet for every tidbit I could find about her wellness routine.

Batch CBD: My Secret to Staying Productive After 50

Sponsored Post As I navigate through my PRIME years, I find myself living the most active days of my life. My ambitions are high, and I seem to find more fulfillment in staying busy and productive than I did during my younger years. However, living the active life that I love hasn’t exactly gotten easier. There is no denying that certain activities prompt aches and pains. Keeping a high energy level throughout the day isn’t always as easy as it used to be. “I was finally sleeping through the night, my body felt fresh during the day, and my mind felt peacefully focused. BATCH CBD has been part of my daily routine ever since.” I decided a few years ago to pursue a natural way to help my mind and body feel younger while I tackle my daily tasks. One day, I stumbled across BATCH by Wisconsin Hemp Scientific through their free CBD sample program . I had friends that had used CBD before, but I was always hesitant to try it myself. But I thought the opportunity to try a free sample was an...

September Empties: Honest Thoughts on The Products Our Team Finished This Month

We’re big fans of the YouTube Beauty Community here at The Everygirl. We’re constantly talking about our favorite creators, their best looks, and buying pretty much everything they recommend. The YouTube beauty world is honestly what we have to thank for some of the biggest trends in beauty—we’d never be baking our undereyes or curling our hair with straighteners or using  men’s post-shave balm as a primer  if it weren’t for the beauty YouTubers who taught us how.  Alongside the  various techniques YouTube  has taught us, the phenomenon of the ever-so-popular “empties video” has truly taken over our subscription feeds. Every beauty YouTuber has made an empties video (if not five), and everyone who even knows just a glimpse of beauty YouTube has seen one. The concept is simple: show everyone what’s in your trash and talk about if you loved it, if you’ll buy it again, and how long it took you to use up.  So being the beauty-lovers we are at TEG HQ, we decid...
