These chino-style wide leg pants for women over 50 are the bomb! 😂 Do people even still say that anymore? I honestly don’t know… but seriously, these pants are SO comfortable and flattering that I had to share them with you.
Unfortunately this exact pair sold out quickly, but don’t worry because I linked several very similar options in lots of fun colors below. And honestly… I may need the red pair next! Wouldn’t those be darling for Memorial Day, the 4th of July, or even late summer into fall?
This casual outfit over 50 has quickly become one of my favorites because it feels relaxed, stylish, and easy to wear all day long.
Why I Love These Wide Leg Cropped Pants Over 50
Finding wide leg cropped pants over 50 that don’t feel overwhelming can sometimes be tricky, but these have such a nice fit. I recreated a Pinterest look alike outfit using another pair of gold pants that I had here.
What I love most:
- comfortable chino-style fabric
- flattering cropped length
- relaxed wide leg shape
- and of course… the gorgeous mustard color
They feel modern without trying too hard and are easy to style casually or slightly dressier.
I also think the cropped length works especially well for summer because it keeps the outfit feeling light and breezy.
If you have been wondering how to wear wide leg pants without looking frumpy, I really think balance is the key. I like pairing fuller pants with:
- a slightly more fitted top
- a little front tuck
- or a shorter jacket like this denim jacket
That combination helps define your shape while still staying comfortable.
My Favorite Feminine Eyelet Top
You all know how much I love feminine blouses, and this eyelet top is one I reach for constantly. Hurry and get one as they are low on stock!
It is lightweight, breezy, and goes with practically everything in my closet.
The slight puff sleeve is one of my favorite details because it is soft and drapey—not stiff or overly trendy. I also love:
- the tiny ruffle collar
- flattering v-neck
- delicate eyelet details
- and the easy button front
It just feels feminine and effortless. You see how I paired it with some striped pants and a cute neutral jacket here.
This is exactly the kind of blouse that works beautifully with:
- jeans
- shorts
- skirts
- white pants
- colored pants
Honestly… everything!
Why Every Woman Over 50 Needs a Denim Jacket
Can we talk about denim jackets for a minute?
If you do not own one already, you absolutely need one in your closet.
I have owned this denim jacket for years and still wear it constantly. It is one of the most versatile pieces I own.
Jean jackets travel incredibly well too. You can literally wad one up and stuff it into your tote bag or backpack and pull it out later if:
- the airplane gets cold
- the restaurant air conditioning is freezing
- or the evening cools down
And they truly work with almost anything:
- t-shirts
- blouses
- tank tops
- dresses
- skirts
- shorts
- jeans
- wide leg pants
I linked a few cute denim jackets below, including one with fun 3/4 sleeves that I think would be darling for summer.
Birkenstock Style Sandals… Yes or No?
These woven Birkenstock Arizona-style sandals have surprised me this year because I absolutely love them.
This is actually the first year I have really embraced Birkenstock-style sandals, and now I completely understand why women love them so much.
The colorful woven straps make them feel a little more fun and stylish than a basic brown sandal, and I get compliments on them constantly.
They are:
- comfortable
- easy to walk in
- casual but still cute
- and they work with so many outfits
I have worn them with:
- shorts
- cropped pants
- jeans
- casual dresses
Although for dressier outfits I still tend to prefer a more feminine sandal.
Do you wear Birkenstock style sandals? I would honestly love to know!
