Warm and cozy looks
For an active forty-year-old woman, the following remain relevant in winter:
- Pants, skirts and dresses of medium length. It is preferable to choose natural wool. A sundress made from suit fabric will look great in the office. Since you can wear shirts, blouses, turtlenecks under it, its cut should be loose. Ladies over 50 years old should choose trousers, dresses and skirts that are straight or semi-fitting.
- Vests made of fur and fabric, jackets. They will warm you up in a cool office, helping you remain a businesslike, fashionable woman.
- Knitted items: cardigans, sweaters, dresses, jumpers. Shift dresses look good on any figure. Outside the office (or if the dress code allows), short knitted dresses can be worn with jeans or skinny trousers. But you need to make sure that the dress in this combination is not visible from under the outerwear. The medium length looks good with nylon tights at the beginning of the season, and with the onset of cold weather - with warm woolen ones. Preference should be given to dark colors: gray, brown, black without an openwork pattern. For women over 50, straight silhouettes of trousers and skirts are best combined with looser cardigans and sweaters.
Main fashion trends 2021
Considering age
Of course, older ladies who want to look elegant, young and fashionable must follow certain criteria. First you need to accept your age and not consider it a disadvantage, but make it your main advantage.
After all, a woman who looks younger than her age receives admiring glances and compliments every day, and they take her as an example.
Looking younger does not mean wearing a short skirt, shorts or a revealing top. The correct placement of accents plays a significant role. At the age of over fifty, clothes should be calm, stylish and respectable at the same time.
Correct selection of outerwear
Fashion trends of 2021 allow ladies to wear items of absolutely any color and style. The best option would be a natural fur coat, which, if desired, can be replaced with a long down jacket or a pastel-colored coat.
Your fall wardrobe should have room for a cloak or cape. On top of the dress you can wear a vest or bolero in delicate shades.
On a note!
Definitely, among outerwear there should be items for cold weather. The best option would be a light coat in a classic style, because it can give a soft appearance and with its help a woman will look much younger.
It can be replaced with a cloak. Of course, there is no need to limit yourself to the color palette of outerwear, but experts consider light colors, in particular beige, to be the most feminine.
Correct selection of sweaters and pullovers
Among all the clothes, an older woman must have at least two sweaters or pullovers in light and dark colors. They can be easily combined with almost any other clothing in your wardrobe.
Choosing the right dress
A dress is one of the most suitable things for a lady over fifty. The black dress goes well with the same bag. Luxury has been popular at any time, so you shouldn’t skimp on materials. A sheath dress will help out at any age and is suitable for business women. It easily hides figure flaws. Evening dresses show all the flaws that exist, but if there are none, then you should not shy away from such dresses.
A good choice is a dress with a slit at the chest or on the back, but with such a style you should act carefully so that a person does not have a bad opinion about the woman’s appearance.
What blouse to wear
When creating a basic wardrobe, a fifty-year-old woman should choose a feminine version of this item, either a shirt cut or a masculine style.
White blouses look great on ladies - they refresh, and beige blouses add elegance. It is also important to choose the fabric from which the item is made - non-transparent and dense.
Choosing the right trousers
For women who lead a fairly active lifestyle, loose trousers in absolutely any color palette are suitable. However, stylists recommend brown, white and lilac tones.
On a note!
Trousers must be made from high quality fabrics and materials. You can use trousers with different decorations, for example, with rhinestones or embroidery. Jeans can also be a substitute for trousers.
What will be the fashion in 2021 in women's clothing for ladies over 50? Fashion trends are presented in new photos.
What to wear for an evening out
A lady's evening dress should not have distracting details, for example, cutouts, neckline, or open back. Regarding colors, it is better to stick to muted tones and laconic shades. Don't forget about Coco Chanel's recommendation, she argued that any woman's wardrobe should contain several black fashionable dresses.
Shoes
A hairpin is elegant. But not every woman after fifty will be able to wear it because of her health or her body type. Therefore, when choosing shoes, the best criterion will be comfort. It is better to buy pumps with a small, stable heel. Black and beige would be ideal.
Half boots with stable soles will look good as a winter option.
Accessories
The individual style of a fifty-year-old lady can be given by accessories in the form of stoles, headscarves, hats, but keep in mind that the decor should be minimal.
Chic jewelry for a specific occasion would be appropriate; miniature, unattractive items are suitable for everyday wear.
On a note!
Age never stops you from being fashionable, so don't worry about it. After all, even after crossing the fifty-year mark, you can and should have a beautiful and stylish appearance.
Even in adulthood, any lady can look attractive and fashionable. To do this, you just need to choose the right clothes in your wardrobe and combine them correctly.
In the article we looked at recommendations about what the 2019 fashion in women's clothing will be like for fall-winter for those over 50 (photo).
We combine things correctly
It is important for women of both age categories to remember some rules for combining clothes of different textures and materials. For example:
- Jackets cannot be worn over rib knit items. Blouses made of thick knitwear or fine wool will look much better in combination with them. Fabric vests are best worn over clothing that is not very bulky. But fur vests go perfectly with thick sweaters.
- To prevent the silhouette from becoming heavy and bulky, you should not wear more than two things, one on top of the other (in addition to outerwear). The ideal combination is a shirt and a sweater, a cardigan and a top. But for outdoor activities, multi-layer sets are welcome.
- Ladies over 50 should not wear trousers and short dresses or tunics together. Together with winter outerwear, this combination makes the look heavier. The ideal length for skirts and dresses is midi. Look especially good with thick tights.

Fifty is not a milestone when you have to grow old along with your wardrobe. This is a new stylish stage where prejudices, complexes and fears have no place. We have collected for you 5 trendy combinations that will look no worse on an elegant woman than on young fashionistas.
Dress and trousers in the same color scheme
Don't be afraid that the combination of a dress and a skirt is too daring. To create such a combination, but at the same time tame its lively character, choose basic styles in calm shades. For example, monochrome brown, which will be brightened by darker or contrasting shades of accessories. And you are in trend, and everything is according to age.

Leather corset with shirt
Corsets have become very popular this year. And age is not a reason to refuse them. The main thing is to remember that we combine everything bright, catchy and unusual with basic things. This means we wear a classic white shirt under a leather corset.
By the way, if you are not mentally ready for a corset yet, but still want to try on something unusual, try combining a classic shirt with a crop top. The effect will be the same.

Culottes with high boots in contrasting color
This year, many fashionistas have become so fond of culottes that with the advent of cold weather, they don’t want to give them up at all. And it is not necessary! Just pair them with tall boots.
@venswifestyle
High boots will protect your feet from the cold. And in combination with culottes in a contrasting color, there will be an additional emphasis on the ankles.
Pleated skirt with hoodie
If you liked the combination of a dress and sneakers, then you will also like the winter duo of a pleated skirt and hoodie. This voluminous combination will help hide the folds on your stomach. And if you add a wide belt to your look and tuck the front edge of the sweatshirt into it, your legs will also look longer.

Warm sleeves
Armbands are a new trend for us. And while young people are just getting used to it, it’s time to get ahead of the curve. You can combine this element with shirts. But for winter, a warm base would be ideal - a fitted jacket or a thin knitted sweater.

Things to exclude from your wardrobe
40-50 years is a certain limit that does not allow the use of certain items of clothing so that their owner does not look ridiculous. These things are few, but it’s worth reconsidering your wardrobe.
- Knitted skirts.
- Cartoon print on sweaters, sweatshirts. This also includes inscriptions, images of animals, comics.
- Sportswear is not suitable for everyday wear. It is better to put away sweatshirts and pants before going on a picnic.
- A 50-year-old woman should not keep sweaters with a large collar (ribbed knit, cowl-neck) in her wardrobe. By hiding the neck, they create a squat look. They can be replaced with a scarf or stole, if you do not match them to the same tone as the sweater and do not make complex draperies around the neck. It will look better if you distribute the fabric over the shoulders.
- In winter, a lady over 50 should not use heavily patterned items in her wardrobe. This is inappropriate.
On the topic Surely you want to know how to look stylish at any age? We have prepared an article entitled “basic items in a woman’s wardrobe,” be sure to read it.
Fur coats
The relevance of this winter clothing has not been lost for several centuries. A woman in a fur coat always looks stylish and elegant, regardless of age or body type. The 2020-2021 season was no exception.
For ladies aged 50, it is preferable to choose models just below or above the knees. Ideally, take fitted styles with a massive hood.
Color does not play a fundamental role, but light shades, fuchsia and classic black are in fashion. Bright gloves, a headdress or a contrasting scarf are used as an accent. Accessories will help refresh your look.
Headdress
For ladies over 40-50 years old, it is not recommended to focus on the hat. It is better to choose hats of a neutral, solid color: beige, soft pink, blue, coffee, olive. You can add brightness by replacing the hat with a stole or scarf. It’s good to have several similar accessories, matching them to your mood, eye color or handbag.
By the way, it is not necessary that the scarf and hat be the same color. It is enough that the color scheme echoes each other. Elegant ladies should avoid hats with rhinestones, pompoms and voluminous trimmings. Knitted hats with a lapel are too forgiving. It is better to leave them for sports walks and outdoor recreation.
A universal option are hats made of thick knitwear, as well as knitted ones, but without cuffs. They go perfectly with a coat, short fur coat, or down jacket.
A beret will add a French motif to your look. It goes well with fur coats, coats and light down jackets. They can be knitted, openwork, with patterns, drape and knitted.
Of course, it is difficult to survive the Russian winter without a fur hat. Established ladies should avoid voluminous models. The fur should be medium or short. This hat will look great with a cashmere or drape coat or fur coat. The length of the hair on the fur coat and hat should be approximately the same. You should also prefer neutral colors.
Length of winter outerwear
Winter weather conditions force you to wear trousers more often. It is with this wardrobe detail that insulated jackets of any length can be combined. For very cold days, outerwear should, of course, be elongated, but not all the way to the toes. Winter clothes in themselves make the figure more voluminous, and a maxi length would not be appropriate at all. In addition, it is very inconvenient to wear long clothes on the street; they simply get in the way.
Today, the best length for women is knee-length. A winter outer coat of this length will look amazing with boots that match the style.
Outerwear and accessories
Of course, nothing emphasizes a woman’s status more than a fur coat or sheepskin coat. For going outdoors and skiing, a not too bulky down jacket is suitable. The coat will be an excellent choice during warm winters.
Ladies over 50 should stick to the length of their outerwear from mid-thigh to knee. Too short options will be forgiven. Sheepskin coats or fur coats can be straight or fitted, with or without a belt. For tall women, a fur coat with a trapezoidal silhouette is suitable. You should avoid large collars and too elaborate trim on the sleeves and hood. It looks excessive and unattractive for a respectable woman.
As for shoes, you should forget about massive options (dutics, uggs, boots with embossed soles). Elegant shoes endow their owner with the same quality.
For women over forty, it is better to replace mittens with gloves. They can be suede or leather, bright or neutral. We have prepared a whole article about gloves for women 40-50 years old.
You should be careful when choosing jewelry. Thin chains are worn only on clothes with a neckline and made of not very dense material. Large pendants look great on woolen and knitted items. But we must not forget that minimalism is welcomed in winter. Multilayer beads and heavy earrings should be excluded. But an excellent addition to a woolen dress will be a bright strap that emphasizes the waist.
The color scheme in winter is more subdued than in other seasons. Blue, gray, green, brown, black colors can be diluted with rich, but not too bright shades, for example, blue, lingonberry, raspberry, brick. For women over 50 years old, monochromatic colors, tartan, stripes, and accessories with floral and fancy patterns are suitable.
Using simple items and combinations, it is not at all difficult to create the ideal wardrobe of a woman of 40 and 50 years old. Accessories will help add some bright colors to your look.

Very good tips on choosing the right winter wardrobe. I completely agree about cartoon prints on clothes. I think this is vulgar for an older woman. Well, about mittens, of course you can replace them with gloves, but we women living in Siberia somehow neglect this. I always choose fur coats, depending on where I will wear them: In the car or in public.

I don’t understand why many people don’t like winter and dressing stylishly during it, since I’m simply delighted with the numerous sweaters in my wardrobe. I like to focus on the top and choose a simple bottom, like regular jeans or dark trousers. At the same time, I learned over time to choose sweaters that would be cozy and comfortable, but at the same time look as if they were made especially for me.
