Sweater weather is almost here, and fall sweaters are getting a lot more interesting. I’m sharing some of my favorite sweater trends for fall, including cable knits, Fair Isle patterns, statement sweaters, sweater jackets, cardigans and easy layers that can make even a simple pair of jeans feel like an outfit.
Whether you love a classic fall sweater, something with color and personality, or a cardigan or sweater jacket you can wear instead of a coat, these are easy ideas for updating your fall wardrobe without completely changing the way you dress. Outfit ideas for women over 50

Silk scarves are back in a big way for fall, from classic equestrian prints and animal patterns to colorful silk squares, small neckerchiefs and long, draped styles.
A silk scarf is an easy way to add color, pattern and personality to a simple fall outfit, whether you wear it with a sweater or button-front shirt or tie it onto a favorite handbag. And before shopping for a new one, take another look through your closet. You may already have this fall accessory trend tucked away in a drawer.

Why is it so hard to find a regular-length women's top anymore? So many tops seem to be either cropped and boxy or long and oversized, when sometimes you just want a top that comfortably comes past your waistband without feeling like a tunic.
I went shopping for that missing regular length and found blouses, sweater tees, lightweight sweaters and long-sleeve tops that still feel current for fall. These are great options for women over 50 who want enough length through the body without the extra fabric and oversized proportions of a much longer top.
I rounded up even more regular-length tops in the full collection, including casual and dressier options for fall.

Brooches are making a comeback for fall, but this accessory trend doesn’t have to feel old-fashioned. Today’s brooches range from elegant and sculptural to colorful, whimsical and completely unexpected.
Wear one on a blazer, jacket, sweater or scarf, or cluster several together for a more modern statement. And before you buy anything new, take another look inside your jewelry box. You may already own one of fall’s most interesting accessory trends.

Where did all the full-length pants go? If you’re tired of seeing cropped, ankle-length, barrel-leg and extra-wide pants everywhere, I went shopping for the alternatives!

If you put on a perfectly good top and pants and it still looks unfinished, don’t change your clothes. Try the right jewelry.
