Effortless Fall Fashion Over 50: Houndstooth and a Pop of Green

If you’re looking for an effortless fall fashion outfit for over 50 that’s stylish, age-appropriate, and fun, I’ve found a look that checks all the boxes! My black and white houndstooth skirt is knee-length—a perfect choice for us ladies 50 and older. It’s classic without feeling stuffy and hits just the right spot to stay modest but fashionable.

Layered Basics: White Blouse and Black Sweater

Underneath, I’m keeping it classic with a crisp white blouse that’s always a style win. To add a touch of warmth, I layered a black boatneck sweater over the blouse, creating a chic and cozy look for fall. The combination feels put-together but easy to wear.

Elevating with Tights and Tall Black Boots

One of my favorite parts of this look is pairing black tights with tall black boots. This sleek combo adds a touch of elegance and lengthens the look of your legs.

I picked up these beautiful boots in London last year, and they’ve been a staple for cooler days—they just add that little something extra!

I love wearing different types of shoes in the fall and winter. Here is a post about a few of my favorites.

Simple Gold Jewelry for a Touch of Glam

I went with understated yet pretty jewelry: a long gold chain with a circular pendant and a triple-layered gold necklace that sits just above it.

For earrings, I chose gold half hoops lined with tiny white pearls, adding a subtle sparkle without distracting from the overall look.

Funny story- my husband was taking these photos and before i put jewelry on he said “aren’t you going to add some crop dusting to your outfit”. I was laughing so hard ..crop dusting? Ha ha Even after I put the jewelry on I could not stop laughting. I said do you mean “frosting” (which is jewelry). He said “oh I thought it was something to do with dusting.”

Finishing Touch For Effortless Fall Fashion over 50: A Bright Green Coat

For a bit of flair, I topped the outfit with a bold kelly green coat. This fun pop of color brightens up the black-and-white base, making the whole outfit feel lively and on-trend. Believe it or not, I found this coat on Temu for only $20! It comes in grey too!

It’s fully lined and has a flattering fit with stylish black buttons down the front. The polyester material makes it lightweight yet warm, perfect for crisp autumn days.

Ready for Anything This Fall

With this classic, comfortable, and color-popping look, you’re all set for anything from lunch dates to errands around town. This outfit is proof that you don’t need to sacrifice style for comfort—especially when you add a fun, bold layer like this green coat.
