If you are looking for an easy red white and blue outfit for women over 50 that feels comfortable, casual, and stylish for summer, I think you will love this look I put together using several pieces from Coldwater Creek. This outfit has a relaxed coastal cottage feel with lightweight drawstring jeans, a soft navy tank, a creamy white linen jacket, and comfy white espadrilles that are perfect for everyday wear or even travel.
This outfit is one of those combinations that feels comfortable enough to wear all day long, but still pulled together and cute. Honestly, I’ve already worn pieces of this outfit over and over again this spring!
Lightweight Jeans with a Coastal Cottage Feel
These adorable Walkabout Tapered Lightweight Jeans from Coldwater Creek are what I’d call the perfect “coastal cottage grandma” jeans—in the very best way possible!
They have:
- a comfy elastic waist
- a cute drawstring tie
- lightweight denim fabric
- roomy front pockets
- and a relaxed tapered fit
I love rolling the hems up for a more casual summer look. They feel easy, breezy, and comfortable without looking sloppy. These are definitely the kind of jeans you can wear for walking around town, grabbing lunch with friends, traveling, or even bike riding by the lake.
My Go-To Navy Tank
Underneath the jacket, I’m wearing a super soft navy tank from Coldwater Creek that has quickly become one of my favorite basics.
It’s one of those pieces that works beautifully:
- all on its own
- layered under jackets
- with jeans
- with cropped pants
- or even under cardigans in the fall
You all know how much I love pieces that mix and match easily, and this tank definitely does that.
Why I Love This White Linen Jacket
Can we talk about this creamy white linen jacket for a minute?
I honestly wear this thing constantly.
It works with:
- jeans
- dresses
- cropped pants
- shorts
- pretty much everything in my closet
The light linen fabric makes it perfect for spring and summer layering, and it instantly makes an outfit look a little more polished without trying too hard.
And yes…this jacket is absolutely coming with me to Italy in June!
I already know it will be perfect for cool evenings walking through little Italian towns or layered over a dress for dinner.
My Favorite Summer Accessories
My soft blue leather crossbody bag is another favorite. It’s small, lightweight, and hands-free—which is exactly what I want while shopping, traveling, or walking around exploring.
It fits:
- my phone
- a small wallet
- lipstick
- and a few little essentials
That’s really all I need most days anyway!
And yes…this little bag is definitely coming to Italy with me too.
Why I’m Calling This a Red White and Blue Outfit
Okay…so technically the red only shows up in the scarf 😂
But I still think it totally counts. I do have another fun easy red white and light blue outfit here using a maxi skirt.
The scarf has the prettiest little red floral details mixed with navy and cream tones, and it adds just enough color and personality to the outfit.
Sadly, I think this exact scarf may be sold out, but I’ll link a few similar options from Coldwater Creek that would work beautifully too.
The Cutest White Leather Espadrilles
These white leather espadrilles might be one of my favorite summer shoe finds.
They’re cute, casual, and surprisingly comfortable thanks to the cushioned sole. I love the espadrille detail because it gives them that relaxed coastal summer feel.
They look adorable with:
- jeans
- dresses
- cropped pants
- shorts
Basically all my summer outfits!
My “Placemat Earrings”
And finally…my earrings.
My grandkids lovingly call these my “placemat earrings” because they look exactly like the woven placemats I use almost every single day 😂 Here is another outfit where I am wearing these fun earrings here
Honestly, they aren’t wrong.
But I absolutely love them because:
- they’re lightweight
- neutral
- go with everything
- and move in the breeze when I ride my bike
They just feel fun and summery to me.
So there you have it…a simple, casual red white and blue outfit idea for those of us over 50 who still want to feel stylish, comfortable, and put together without trying too hard.
