7 Days, What to Wear: Stylish January Wardrobe for Women in Their 50s
January is a month that wants you in outfits that can keep you warm and stylish, embracing the New Year with fresh starts. For the fashionable 50-year-old, it's easy to pull together outfits that balance practicality and sophistication. Here is a week-long style guide to inspire your January wardrobe:
Day 1: Monday – Sleek and Professional Start the week strong with a tailored blazer over a cashmere turtleneck sweater, paired with straight-leg trousers. Opt for neutral tones like beige or charcoal and add a statement necklace to elevate the look. Ankle boots and a structured tote bag complete this polished outfit.
Day 2: Tuesday – Cosy Layers for Errands Layer a chunky knit sweater over a fitted long-sleeve top for a busy day of errands. Pair with dark-wash skinny jeans or tailored joggers for comfort and style. Top it off with a wool coat in a bold colour and knee-high leather boots. A crossbody bag adds practicality without sacrificing style.
Day 3: Wednesday—Go midweek chic in a midi in a winter-friendly fabric, such as jersey or wool blend. Add opaque tights with heeled ankle boots. Top off with a belted trench coat and scarf in a complementary colour.
Day 4: Thursday – Smart-Casual Layers Pair a fitted blazer with a silk blouse, tucked into wide-leg trousers, for a smart yet relaxed look. Soften it with warm colours such as dusty rose or sage green. Loafers or brogues will add the right footwear feel, while a sleek leather belt and subtle accessories will round off the look.
Day 5: Friday – Weekend-Ready Vibes One could end the week in dark wash jeans paired with a soft cashmere cardigan and a printed blouse. Ankle boots and a crossbody bag make this an amazing transition from work to casual dinner. Add sparkle through earrings or a bracelet.
Day 6: Saturday—Relaxed Weekend Style For a relaxing day, choose an elegant and relaxed look in your turtleneck sweater dress, thick tights, and knee-high boots. Layer on a faux fur vest or pad jacket for the needed warmth. Complete your laid-back chic outfit with a beanie and leather gloves.
Day 7: Sunday - Elegant Comfort Wrap up the week with an outfit that’s both comfortable and refined. Choose a pair of tailored trousers and pair them with a luxurious knit sweater. Add a longline cardigan for extra cosiness and accessorise with a silk scarf and dainty jewellery. Keep footwear simple with flat loafers or slip-on sneakers.
Tips for Your January Wardrobe:
Invest in Quality Fabrics: Invest in wool, cashmere, and silk; the fabrics that will brace you during the cold and keep you looking sleek.
Layer Wisely: January is all about layering, so choose pieces that complement each other in colour and texture.
Accessorise Thoughtfully: Hats, scarves, and gloves are practical items, but they can add style to anything one wears.
Cohere to a cohesive palette: neutrals like beige, grey, and navy are chic and make a fabulous backdrop for pops of colour like burgundy or emerald.
With these outfits, you will pull through style and remain warm throughout the week, including in different ways.
