Outfit For Summer: Let’s Go Crazy (Pants)

If you are like me and prefer to wear wild, bold colorful prints in the summer….when you’re over 40 pants are actually the way to go. To avoid looking too clownish tone down a pair of crazy print pants with an oversized tunic top. I’m wearing a cotton v-neck sweater in an XL I found in the clearance rack at Kohl’s, but this Equipment ‘Asher’ V-Neck Cashmere Sweater is going on my must-have list. (You can’t have too many black v-necks).

What To Wear On A Gray Day In May

What’s the best thing about fashion over 40? You already own a pair of ankle crop flare jeans in your closet … from the year 2000! However, the worst part is figuring out what to wear to stay on trend but not look silly for your age. Especially when the season is changing and you may have a bit of fashion dread about the warmer weather. Start by wearing pieces that are comfortable and fit well. Lately I find oversized pieces to be a great solution to this dilemma!
