Balloon Pants. How to Style Spring 2026 Trends for 60+ I’ve seen these pants in exaggerated oversized looks. But if this is too much volume for you, try this slimmer version as in this jumpsuit that I’m wearing. The black is sleek and just by adding a jacket and kitten heels you’ve got a chic outfit that’s not screaming you’ve got on a trend. I’ve always been a huge fan of trends ever since I worked at Nordstrom doing their fashion shows. (Don’t get me wrong I love the classics and my basics.) The trends just give me that creative way to fly. You don’t need to get every single one that’s out there this season. Just a couple that resonate with you. Then maybe I can inspire you, my friend, that pro-age woman on how to style them. Would you try these balloon pants? Follow me for more 50+ style inspiration. LTKootd LTKOver40

The Slouch Boot... How to Style Spring 2026 Trends for 60+

If you’re a pro-age woman and always wondered, how can I wear those trends? I’m here for you. Welcome to my 2nd week of my Style Series for Spring!

As seen in Europe, these Slouch Boots are here! Your pants are meant to be just stuffed into them. No need to be nice and neat. Just stuff them in and here’s a tip: try stuffing them into your socks first to keep them tucked.

I like this look with a blouse and the trending scarf tied around my neck.

The Straight Leg Jean... How to Style Spring 2026 Trends for 60+

If you’re a pro-age woman and always wondered, how can I wear those trends? I’m here for you. Welcome to my 2nd week of my Style Series for Spring!

With all of the denim style choices we have to choose from, this Straight Leg Jean feels like a classic that you just can’t go wrong with.

Without a doubt this one could stand the test of time. Plus, you can never go wrong by styling it with a beautiful white blouse. By adding a pointed shoe or boot your legs will look longer. And finish it off with your favorite accessories. This trend is a keeper.

The Scarf - How to Style Spring 2026 Trends for 60+

Week 2 of how to wear the trends as a pro-age woman 60+.

The Scarf is winning over everyone’s heart as a favorite accessory. Whether it’s in your hair, on your bag or how I styled it here. The color it can bring to your outfit is amazing. This scarf is from Amazon (along with my top I’m wearing. I will link them both).

Zebra... How to Style Spring 2026 Trends for 60+

If you’re 50+ and always wondered, how can I wear those trends without looking silly. I’m here for you. Welcome to my Style Series for Spring!

We all love a good animal print and I’m shifting over to “Zebra”. If an article of clothing in this print is just too much for you, then try it in an accessory. I know I’ve got it with a basic black two piece, but how about red or that gorgeous royal blue we are seeing.

If you like your leopard, then I think you just might love this Zebra.

Welcome to my New Series…

How to Style Spring 2026 Trends for 60+

The Funnel Neck

This chic collar is seen in everything from jackets to blouses. I’m doing this one with very flowy pants. Soft pants with edgy jacket. And then I love this baby blue tank and shoes with it because the color just brings attention to the collar.

It’s the littlest things that make the difference.

For example: This “Chinch Pin” for the back of my really oversized shirt makes it a more fitted look for me and creates so much interest in the back! It’s like an instant pleat that pulls the material in at the waist.

I have to also give my friend @oldfashionguru a shout out for getting me to pull out my Capris pants. Follow her for some fabulous fashion inspiration.

I have such a love/hate relationship with Capris but check out how she styled them for a fresh take on spring.

I love how Sunny represents that woman over 60 and 70 can embrace their style. No age boundaries here.

For when the days are longer and warmer…

In this slip dress and wide leg satin pants just thinking about when I can wear this combo.

I will link several slip dresses. The styles slightly vary, but they all go so well with a wide leg pant. Watch how it all flows.

My new “Canadian Tux”

Thanks to my @ragandbone denim tie jacket and my Levis barrel jeans from @target

Definitely a high/low styling here and I’m loving how much I like these two pieces together.

Would you wear these two together??

Ohhhh I LOVE this trend…

Get out your bandanas and accessorize! Any color will do. I would wait to bring them out when a western outfit was happening. But this black bandanna is the perfect accessory for my all black leather @ragandbone outfit. So chic.

Would you try this trend?? Let me know in the comments.

Gotta love a great loafer and a luxury lookalike!

It is a shoe I usually don’t wear but I do love the simple and timeless structure of this one. I especially love them with this simple jean outfit.

This one is a great dupe that I found on Amazon that looks just like the designer Kh**t*

Are you over the front tuck?

Here’s a fun way to give some dimension to your waist with a bulky sweater!

Who knew that this little pin could take the place of a front tuck!

Oh I saw these coming…

If you know me and are following my account, you know I love to style the new trends when for 50+.

Balloon Pants are definitely a trend for Spring.

I always feel there is a way to style trends with sophistication so you can ease into them when you might not otherwise try. I will say it again, not all trends are for everyone but I think I like this one.

Do you? If not m, that’s ok. There’s so much to choose from out there in the fashion world.

Why does this one work? For one, the Balloon pants aren’t huge. Plus, by cinching in the waist on the blazer gives me shape and balances out the shape of all the fabric on the bottom.

Let me know in the comments if you would give this trend a try.

I’ve got a little trick for your next outfit.

Seeing how we are layering up lately it makes sense that the layers work with each other.

This oversized denim shirt was too big and I needed it to look more tailored especially if I wanted to wear this leather blazer over it.

This simple coat clip did the trick! Made my shirt lay perfect under this blazer.

#LTKootd #LTKOver40

If you can believe this,

Brooches are really hitting the fashion scene. I posted about them last February 2025. I was ahead of my time! Back then I knew their popularity would be a favorite!

Fast forward to Spring 2026 and here they are. Blend your old pins with new ones in a beautiful cluster on your blazer, sweater or dress. It’s almost like a charm bracelet but with your favorite pins.

I will link some of my favorites!

@lyssenewyork has really done it this time. You’re going to love what I’m going to tell you about these pieces

Lyssé is all about Fit, Fabric and Fashion.

I always talk about staples as the main pieces in your wardrobe and here are two of them:

The Great White Blouse - This button up is as versatile as it gets. But here’s the best part, there is stretch in this fabric and it never wrinkles.

A great pair of Denim Jeans - This pair has so much stretch and there is a hidden 5 inch panel around the waistband that holds in your tummy.

Now let’s add a third piece - This is their faux leather grommet jacket with a front zip. Very chic and so cool.

Here’s the best part – every single piece is machine washable EVEN THE JACKET!

Makin’ some changes for 2026…how about you?

The past two weeks I’ve been on a 21 day purification program, per my nutritionist. I have been on this program several times so I understand how this program works for me. January has been a good time for me to do this.

This program helps my body purify and rebuild itself from the inside out by removing natural toxins and helps me to maintain a healthy weight, which is important to maintaining my health and vitality.

In addition, it’s important for me to exercise everyday while on this program, so I’m off for my daily walk with my weighted vest. And you know me, I am wearing my new wide leg pants from @lululemon which I LOVE.

High waist, wide leg and zip pockets! These are so functional yet so chic I’m wearing them to run errands after my walk!

What to do with that cropped jacket?

Wear it with a long maxi skirt. It can be any fabric but I’ve chosen denim.

For spring 2026, the spotlight is definitely on denim skirts. While maxi and mini lengths are leading the charge, they give that effortless styled look where you feel put together yet still comfy. A step away from your athleisure wear. They feel modern yet surprisingly flattering.

I think I might be addicted to this…

Rhinestones are ruling my wardrobe lately and who doesn’t love a crisp white blouse to go with them!

This is a simple and easy outfit to put together in the month of December and I think it would be fun for New Year’s Day.

There’s so many variations on these rhinestone jeans that I will link them for you. My blouse is my favorite @frankandeileen

Here are my rules about sequins.

✨You can wear it short or long
✨With sleeves or a bandeau like this.
✨You can wear it day or night
✨The sequins doesn’t have to match exactly, (like this 2 pc.)
✨Sequins was never meant for just holiday parties.
✨You can wear a little or a lot.

There basically are no rules. And especially in fashion. At 69 I’m wearing what makes me sparkle from the inside out.

To all my sequins lovers, are there any rules you want to apply?
