Sorting out your casual fall outfits as a women over 60 can be daunting.
And that’s because some of you may be concerned by left-over attitudes that ladies over 60 should take a ‘back-seat’ as far as fashion is concerned.
And that’s why I’ve put together today’s gallery of attractive and stylish fall outfits that reflect current trends and will make you feel as proud of your new, fashion ensembles as you ever did!
One of the main differences these days is that women over 60 are being encouraged to enjoy bright colors, especially in the darker days of the year, when we need some extra cheer.
And this year’s autumn fashion colors include vibrant pinks, greens, yellows and blues as well as the main palette of light-brown, neutral colors that are on-trend right now.
Targeted shopping
Another trend to note is planning outfits before you shop and using articles like this to help you do ‘targeted shopping’, so you know exactly what ‘look’ you want.
You’ll see a range of trouser-leg widths here, too, which should give you a clear idea of which width you are going to be wearing most.
This is a great help in buying garments that allow you to create polished outfits easily.
So even if you haven’t always had a strong interest in the latest fashions, you’ll find it helpful to see what’s on offer and build up a wardrobe of flattering clothes you enjoy wearing.
Outerwear trends
Outerwear is becoming more important as part of your finished ensemble, with brighter colors, and more stylish coats and jackets helping to make-up a top-to-toe finished look.
Lightweight ‘duster coats’ have appeared this year and bomber-jackets and multi-colored leather jackets are having a successful come-back, too.
There’s such a wide variety of styles on offer that you’re bound to find outfit inspiration that suits your personal preferences, but also adds a refreshing new vibe.

7. Black Leather Jacket with Orange Concertina-Pleat Skirt
Mid-calf length, concertina pleats have come back into fashion and create marvellous texture and interest as part of a modern ensemble.
Pleated skirts came into fashion in the 1920’s and lasted through the 1950’s, so they were a very popular style until the mini-skirt was invented in the 1960’s!
Give your modern concertina skirt a fabulously retro vibe with a classic, studded black leather jacket and look chic, sleek and stylish!
8. Super-Trendy Leather Jacket & Camel Wide-Leg Trousers

Remember the comfort of the poncho and other knitted-wrap styles?
If you do, you’ll know they are so easy to wear because you have freedom to move around and can just throw them on over anything!
A poncho/wrap style does the job of a long cardigan or a light jacket, with lots more panache and can be dressed up or down.
Asymmetrical hems are a huge trend this fall, too, so let this outfit inspire you to freshen up your wardrobe and knock a few years off your ‘style age’!
12. Oversized Cable-Knit Vests over Animal Print Blouse
Knitted vests/tank-tops – depending what you call them in your part of the world – are a perfect fall garment.
Wear them over your long or short-sleeved blouses and you instantly get extra warmth and a fashionably layered look.
This style is an ‘oversized’ look, which is suitable for average to taller women, creating a tunic effect that’s comfortable and forgiving of lumps and bumps.
Wearing lighter neutrals, like beige, light-brown, cream, camel etc. through fall, frees you of the winter, ‘dark clothing’ tradition that can be very aging!

This is a dressier version of the knitted vest/tank-top that shows off autumn colors beautifully!

And the mix of trendy colors in the chunky knit mean it will be easy to match with many of your current wardrobe items.
The burnt-orange handbag looks fabulous against the cap-sleeved, vest and the chunky necklace and handbag chain add lots of extra pazazz!
Remember that long tops look best over skinny or slim-cut jeans/trousers.
14. Two Outfits with Long Stylish Scarf Detail
If you’re not keen on having to wear a cardigan or jacket whenever you leave home, try mixing things up with a long scarf.
Fall weather can be quite bright and sunny at times and a long, patterned scarf can be both practical and decorative.
Wear a brightly-hued scarf with an all-black outfit, and leave it open to create a longer ‘body line’, for a snazzily styled ensemble.
Or tie your scarf in a simple knot for a casual look with jeans!
15. Graphic Hoodie with Leather Blazer & Black Sequin Trousers
If you’re ready for something totally individual, experiment by wearing different styles together, as above!
A gray, graphic hoodie advertising Coke is the last thing you expect to see with a pair of splendidly shiny, sequinned trousers.
But pulled together with a smart, leather blazer, a designer bag and the latest above-the-ankle heavy boots – it works!
Mixing and matching ‘street’ and ‘chic’ styles is a great way to refresh your look and make it more youthful!

The perky, nautical scarf looks as fresh and chic as it ever did with a royal-blue and white striped sweater.
The Henley-neck sweater is trendy this fall and the different stripe pattern gives a new twist to the ‘nautical striped top and white jeans’ favorite.
Wear your sweater with a loose fit and a length just half-way down over the thighs, if your jeans are slim-cut.
17. Elegant Beige Textured Loose Sweater with Fringed Sleeves & Beige Trousers
What a lovely design this is with so much texture and subtle stripes, topped off with thick, wool strand fringes!
It’s inspired by the poncho-style, but has been elevated to a truly elegant sweater-top that will always give you an extra-stylish vibe.
Worn with wide-trousers, complete with a smart front crease, this is a classic look you can wear on so many occasions in fall!
18. Cargo Pants with Blue Denim Shirt & Fine-Knit Black Sweater
Fine-knit sweaters are a great look for everyone, but are particularly useful if you happen to be petite.
Chunky knits can add a lot of volume and make some of us look broader and shorter than we would like!
But this sleek autumn outfit brings together a blue-denim, or chambray, shirt under a stylish black sweater with a cute, tie-belt.
Worn with this year’s trendy version of the cargo pant, which is smarter and has flattering, slim-cut legs – you have a comfortable and cozy look you can wear for most everyday activities!
19. Nautical Black Jacket & White Jeans with Striped Top Outfit
Ankle-length, straight-cut white jeans are a good choice for most women over 60 and keep you up-to-date and comfortable.
And in this image, you see how you can dress-up your jeans with a gorgeous, buclé-textured black jacket decorated with lovely gold buttons.
Worn over a classic broad-striped black and white T-shirt, creates this year’s trendy twist on the classic nautical look that never goes out of style!
Quilted bags with chain straps are also one of this fall’s favorite styles.
20. Racy Ripped Black Jeans with Fitted Black Cardi-Jacket
