Stylish over 40: Three Types of Flattering Jackets
The jacket is the final layer of each outfit – the icing of the cake and its role shouldn’t be taken lightly. Now, if you are over 40 and you are looking for jackets that hit the sweet spot between appropriate and fun, sophisticated and unique, the following three types may help you narrow down your choice fast.
Embroidered Denim
Denim jackets have passed the test of time, and while the fabric has remained the same, the styles these come in change all the time. Today, one of the more popular variations is the embroidered type. Some women tend to be skeptical, but, jackets for older women are not supposed to be simply dark coloured and dull. Instead, why not be someone who goes a step further and wears a piece that is unique and fun. For warmer days, you can opt for one that has a relaxed collar and is slightly cropped. it can even be shorter at the back and if it has sleeves that can be rolled up if you feel like it – even better. You can combine this embroidered denim jacket with t-shirts in any colour since the embroidered part is colourful as well. To complete the look, you can opt for jeans and trainers. Or, for those of you who enjoy elegant styles – you can easily match the jacket with dresses or maxi skirts.
Boho Meets Classic Chic
There are jackets for older women that are designed to fit you comfortably, but still, make you look appropriate for formal and semi-formal occasions. These aspects come together when a quilted body is tastefully combined with dressier sleeves and boho patterns and colours. Even though boho in many instances means vibrant colours, there are examples when the combination of the colour palette is subtle and not too bright. Black, grey, white and light blue aqua hues can also represent the style but keep the sophisticated character of the jacket too. If you enjoy more bold details, you can go for a model that sports sparkly buttons which make the entire look dressier and fun.
Cotton Jacket
Who doesn’t enjoy wearing cotton? Regardless of the piece of clothing, cotton brings comfort, softness and simplicity. Even though it may be hard to imagine, there are jackets that can achieve that too. These types are usually combined with shirts, jeans and sneakers for a more casual look. But, if you want to take it up a notch, you can opt for a cotton jacket with a waterfall lapel that when combined with high-heels can look very classy and chic. When it comes to colours, you can go for camel and beige combo if you want to be able to match it with a variety of colours. Additionally, the subtle contrast that is created with these colours can make that waterfall lapel feature more noticeable.
