Ageless Style Over 60: How I Transitioned My Wardrobe for a New Chapter
I’m sharing how I am transitioning my personal style after major lifestyle changes in my 70s. After years of dressing for a professional life and now reshaping my body through fitness, I’m curating a new style that fits a more casual, confident, and ageless lifestyle. I’ll show you how I’m repurposing classic timeless pieces, plus a few fabulous Amazon finds under $40!
Aging beautifully is about showing up with pride, and our style is one of the ways we express that vitality. Join me for inspiration, empowerment, and a fresh take on ageless style over 60.
Life Transitions That Changed My Style Needs
Over the last few years, I’ve experienced major transitions that have affected my daily wardrobe needs. At 70, I accepted an executive position with a large company and stayed until I was 74. During that time, I needed professional attire — and built a closet full of it.
Today, with my husband’s declining health and my shift to supporting my daughter in real estate (working mostly from home), I no longer need the same professional wardrobe.
How Fitness Transformed My Body — and My Mind
One of the biggest changes impacting my style started in my late 60s when I adopted a consistent fitness program.
I had begun to lose physical strength and vitality due to inactivity, but strength training truly reshaped my body — and more importantly, my mindset.
Rather than letting aging unfold naturally, I now treat every day as an opportunity to improve my mind, body, and spirit.
Why Style Is About More Than Just Clothes
You might think style is frivolous — especially with all that’s happening in the world. But I believe it’s about much more.
Style is how we choose to show up in the world, and achieving ageless style over 60 doesn’t have to be complicated.
In my last style video, Ageless Style, I shared the five key drivers that affect our style choices:
- Self-expression: Showing who we are.
- Desired perception: How we want to be seen.
- Cultural expectations: What society expects from us.
- Social context: Dressing appropriately for the occasion.
- Body image: Our self-confidence and comfort level.
As we age, it can be tempting to dim our light to avoid judgment.
But choosing to show up with pride and empowerment is crucial — and it becomes even more powerful with physical strength and self-confidence.
Embracing Ageless Style Over 60
After reshaping my body, I found myself approaching fashion in a whole new way.
I no longer choose clothes to conceal — I now select pieces that celebrate the areas I’m proud of.
Today, I’m curating a more relaxed wardrobe that feels good, fits well, and reflects my new, casual lifestyle.
I’m excited to share some of my classic favorite pieces and a few affordable Amazon finds under $40, including a $35 dress I wear all the time!
(If the items are still available, I’ll link them in the description box at the top of this post)
A Business Casual Look Turned Relaxed
Here’s an outfit I used to wear for business that perfectly embodies ageless style over 60:
A Veronica Beard stretch jacket (no longer available) paired with Mother jeans instead of slacks and low-heeled pumps instead of high heels.
I topped it off with a muted Burberry scarf to pull it all together.
(Side note: I rarely wear prints unless they’re very subtle like this.)
I now even feel confident enough to go sleeveless — a personal goal I achieved through strength training!
A Simple and Elegant Casual Outfit
Another example of a go-to casual outfit:
Vince cropped flare pants + ballet flats + a simple turtleneck.
The pants are an investment piece — they hold their shape and can be easily dressed up or down.
Classic Staples That Work Anywhere
My favorite black blazer by Leons now looks more casual when paired with:
- Flat shoes
- Cropped stretch Vince pants
- A crisp white collared shirt
It’s a timeless combination that works for meetings or casual outings.
I also showed how adding a Chanel belt and a sweater draped over the shoulders gives the same basics a whole new look.
Business Casual with a Relaxed Twist
I took the same Leons blazer and paired it with white jeans and a vintage Chanel scarf for an elevated, yet casual real estate client look.
My Favorite Summer Suit
This stretch denim suit by Sank Sap is a summer favorite.
I love the ruched sleeves, the flattering pintuck seams, and the open vent at the pants’ front hem.
I paired it with a $13 Amazon top that rivals the expensive brands I used to buy — and it washes beautifully!
Casual and Cute: Skirt and Sneakers
I bought this pleated skirt on Amazon last Christmas and styled it with a simple, old sweater and casual shoes.
It’s playful, age-appropriate, and proves that we can still wear “cute” outfits past a certain age!
The $30 Amazon Dress I Can’t Stop Wearing
This $30 Amazon dress is a total gem.
It doesn’t bag, doesn’t cling, and keeps its shape beautifully.
I style it different ways:
- With a cotton sweater draped over my shoulders
- With a white stretch denim jacket
- Dressed up or down for different occasions
