5 Summer Dress Styles for Women Over 50

Summer is finally here, and I think we’re all ready for some warmer weather and days at the pool. With summer trips on the agenda, it’s time to find some easy summer styles that are both functional and flattering, and having a selection of summer dresses on hand will make getting dressed each day a piece of cake. While different fashions come and go, there’s a versatility to dresses because they are available in a variety of styles that can flatter just about any body type. 

There’s a good chance many of us aren’t quite ready to throw on the old swimsuit yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still get out and enjoy the sunny days. Flowing summer dresses will help camouflage some of those extra pounds we’re still working to sweat off. Summer dresses look great with sandals, and you can add a lightweight jacket or a blazer on cooler summer evenings. With sunny days ahead, I’m ready to embrace any opportunity I have to wear a summer dress. Even if it is just to the grocery store, farmers market, or lunch with your girlfriends.

5 Summer Dress Styles for Women Over 50

T-Shirt Dress

So many clothing styles can feel constricting and uncomfortable – the t-shirt dress takes the opposite approach. With its loose, flowing style, it feels like you’re wrapped up in a big comfy t-shirt. It is a great go-to for days at home or out running errands. Shoes can change the look of your t-shirt dress: pair it with sneakers for a more casual style or put on some wedges to dress it up a bit.

Because of their light, airy fabric, they’re a go-to opinion on hot summer days.
