Denim is a staple for chic every day style. A classic pair of blue jeans can be the most sustainable item of clothing you will ever own. Let’s face it, we often struggle to find the right fit. But, owning a great fitting pair of jeans is like having a reliable best friend that never lets you down. The love for denim never fades, no matter what age you are. Today, I’m sharing Six Denim Trends for Women over 50
Six Denim Trends for Women over 50
Slimming Support
NYJD has slimming panels built into their denim that help lift and tuck. When ordering, I suggest sizing down from your regular size.
Levi’s 314 Shaping Straight also has a built in tummy slimming panel. The denim styles have built in stretch that will help keep them extra comfortable and not too form fitting.
This sleek pair from WHBM Cozy Fit is also designed with shaping. And Chico’s has their Slimming girlfriend jeans. When ordering from Chico’s, I would suggest sizing down one size from your regular size.
Flare Leg
A pair of flare leg denim jeans will have a fit that is narrow at the knee and slightly tappers at the ankle. In my opinion, this is a flattering fit when work with a low heel boot like this. out is the most flattering fit when worn with a low heel bootie like these.
Mid to High Rise Denim
High-Rise jeans are very trendy, and will flatter long waisted figure types. Whereas mid rise jeans with waistlines just below the natural waist, are a better choice for short waisted figure types.
Boyfriend Cut
Boyfriend style jeans are designed for a loose fit and to be worn baggie. Sometimes they have a more casual relaxed style and look best when styled with low boots, sneakers or wedges. This style that I am wearing in these pictures is a boyfriend style jean. The exact style is sold out, however this style is the very similar by the same brand
Skinny Jeans
Skinny jeans fit tightly and are usually made with stretchy fabric. I have had these DL1961 Jeans for 2 years and am still a fan. I love the fabric and fit. They are designed not to stretch out, which I like. A little hard to wiggle into, but they are slimming and look great with oversized cozy sweaters.
White Denim
Did you think I would forget to mention that you should not put away your white jeans!? You’ll want to keep them on hand because wearing white jeans after summer ends is not only a trend setting style, it brightens up a grey day. I also love this pair of DL1961 jeans. They have a built in sculpting + support. I found that like my other pair they have just the right about of stretch. And best of all, they are not see through!
Nancy, you look good in every pair! But those white jeans are everything! I would wear those all year long! XX
I have two pair of white jeans and living here in Florida its not enough! I still enjoy dressing for fall so I will transition these into fall styles all season 🙂
I love all of the different silhouettes now Nancy. And white jeans are definitely year round for me.

I have so many new ways to style white jeans that I’m writing a blog about it 🙂 I’m going to keep wearing these all season long.
Thank you for visiting my blog
Great post on jeans. So happy that the style now of mom/boyfriend jeans are loose and baggy. Glad to have that option in a jean now because sometimes you just don’t want tight!
Thank you for reading my blog Theresa, I always appreciate hearing feedback. I’m with you on the loose fit as it is much more comfortable especially when you are going to be wearing them all day. There are new ways to style them too which keeps the look fashionably on trend 🙂
Hi Nancy!
You look great in these jeans. Love the white, and I enjoy wearing them year round as well. I just bought a pair of vintage straight jeans from Madewell and boyfriend jeans. I like to have the variety! Love the selection, I need to try some of the Levis at some point.

Enjoy your week!

I just love all these looks! Great job! And I’m sorry to sound like an old lady, but I can’t believe what they charge for jeans these days!!
Although jeans are my uniform of choice. They can look upscale but be casual at the same time.

Hello Wendy,
I’m all about finding discounts. I agree with you that the price keeps of jeans rising, but I look at it this way. If we wear them everyday consider it a worthwhile investment. I have realized that items sitting in my closet without being worn is not of good value. I’m trying to live by this more and more each day by making more reliable purchases. Thank you for reading my blog as I always appreciate hearing feedback.
Have a wonderful Week,
I think you’ve covered all of the bases, so many options when it comes to jeans, thank you for posting!!
Thank you Sherri, We have so many great choices and these days denim is so versatile that it has become a go to for what to wear. I’m glad that you liked what you read 🙂
My Best,
Nancy
