Hey there, my wonderful readers at Karin’s Kottage! Today, I’m thrilled to bring styling black leggings for gals over 50! This is a fashion post that’s all about embracing comfort and style, especially for those of us over 50. As we navigate the winter season, what could be more versatile than the styling classic black leggings?
Outfit Breakdown
1. The Foundation:
Black Leggings: A wardrobe staple that’s not just for the gym! Choose a high-quality pair for both comfort and style. I prefer high waisted and ankle length leggings.
2. The Main Attraction:
Long Black Double Breasted Jacket: Elevate your look with a tailored touch. The length adds sophistication, and the double-breasted design is a timeless classic. I am wearing my jacket open for a casual look. I am not a fan of buttoning it all the way up especially because I have a thicker waistline.
Tunic Length Pink Turtle Neck: Infuse a pop of color into your ensemble. Pink not only adds warmth but also brings a playful element to the outfit. If pink is not your thing try red, blue or turquoise for a fun pop of color. I love this pink turtleneck and I styled with a white blouse underneath with a pair of jeans that you can see here.
3. The Finishing Touches:
Lace-Up Boots: Opt for black lace-up boots for a funky and fun vibe. Comfortable for walking and stylish for any occasion. Black flats would also be super cute.
Black Leather Shoulder Bag: Complete your look with a chic shoulder bag. Practical and fashionable, it ties everything together.
Why This Outfit Works:
Comfort is Key: The stretchy black leggings provide all-day comfort, making this outfit perfect for running errands, meeting friends, or a casual day out.
Ageless Elegance: The long jacket and tunic length create a silhouette that’s not only on-trend but also age-appropriate and effortlessly chic. The longer length makes me feel more confident because my fanny is covered up 🙂
Versatility: Swap the boots for flats or heels, and you’re ready for different occasions. The black color palette allows for easy accessorizing. I have worn black leggings with a kitten heel shoe here.

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
You look fabulous! I prefer high waisted, ankle length leggings too.
I am actually wearing an outfit with black leggings today: I wanted to be comfortable but still put together so I added a cream high low sweater and cream sneakers. http://www.chezmireillefashiontravelmom.com
Such a timeless and chic outfit! Thanks for linking. Happy holidays!
