My Favorite Dresses with Sleeves for Women Over 50

Dresses like this have been blowing up TikTok! This version is charming AND comfortable, two of my favorite things. Eyelet is officially IN. It’s available in a ton of shades, so it should be easy to find one that suits your personal style. I’d wear this to a summer wedding in a heartbeat!

This navy midi dress became an instant favorite. It’s simple, but not boring. Comfortable, but still polished. That little knot detail at the waist? Just enough shape without clinging, or making you feel like you need to suck in every time someone walks by. Been there!

This cheerful red, pink, and white midi dress has long sleeves and a modest neckline. The tiered skirt gives it that extra swish, and the lightweight fabric is perfect for spring weather. I paired it with nude flats and a neutral handbag to keep things simple and comfy. This is one of those dresses you’ll want to wear again and again—to graduations, brunches, and baby showers alike.

This gauze dress is light, flowy, and makes you feel like you should be wandering a coastal town with an ice cream cone in hand. If you love easy dresses that still look like you tried, this one’s for you!

This deep teal satin dress is one of those pieces that looks like it came from a high-end boutique. The rich color is universally flattering, and the cut of the dress adds just the right amount of structure and movement. I especially love the subtle pleating at the bust and the way the fabric drapes to the floor. It’s both classic and current.

This dress has got a little bit of everything! Flutter sleeves, a smocked waist, and the prettiest tiered skirt that moves with you. The print is fun but not overwhelming, and the fit is modest without feeling frumpy. It’s perfect for church or brunch!

I LOVE this flowy number! It’s going to keep you cool on hot, sweaty summer days. It has a flattering V-neck, a belt to define the waist, and short sleeves that give a little arm coverage without adding bulk. The floral print is fresh and bright—this is one of those easy dresses you’ll reach for again and again.

This dress is not only cute, but it’s comfortable too! Win-win! The swingy skirt and soft V-neck keep it breezy and flattering, and the bold floral print feels just right for summer weddings or beach getaways. The short sleeves give it that extra bit of coverage without sacrificing style, and it comes in tons of colors!

Everybody needs a little black dress, and this one is made with organic cotton so it feels as good as it looks. The crossover top is flattering without being too low, and it’s perfect for showing off a cute necklace. It’s simple, comfy, and easy to dress up or down—just add a cute sandal and go!

You can’t go wrong with a classic silhouette like this, especially in a breathable fabric like linen! This one has a tailored feel but still keeps things cool and breathable for summer. The red is a great pop of color, especially for Fourth of July! It’s one of those dresses that works for everything from lunch with friends to sightseeing on vacation. Just add white sneakers or a strappy sandal and you’re good to go!

This dress feels classic, timeless, and a little bit nautical with the white and blue stripes. Gauze is another one of my go-to materials for summer because it’s so cool and breathable. I love that it comes with a belt to cinch the waist to help you show off and flatter your figure!

Talk about a showstopper! This maxi has a beautiful crochet-lace overlay that gives it texture and interest, and the sleeves make it feel elegant without being too formal. It’s a great pick for vacation dinners, summer parties, or anytime you want to feel extra special. I’d add a block heel, a cute clutch, and some gold jewelry for a date night with Joe!

If you live in linen all summer long, this dress is going to be your new best friend. It has a classic silhouette with a relaxed kaftan twist—breezy, breathable, and polished enough to wear just about anywhere. These sleeves are a little longer than some of the other options, which is great if you want a little more coverage or if you need a little extra protection from the sun!

Want a dress with sleeves that you can wear to the office, a funeral, or to meetings? Try this one from Chico’s! It’s made from that soft, stretchy fabric you’ll want to live in, but the side tie and pattern give it shape and some fun visual interest!

This cute little fit and flare dress has short sleeves, a flattering v-neck, and (my favorite part) pockets! It works for everything from baby showers to backyard get-togethers. It comes in SO many colors and prints (like 30!), but I thought this navy and white floral one was super pretty!

If you want comfort without looking like you’re in loungewear, this dress nails it. The French terry fabric is soft and stretchy, and the dip-dye adds a fun twist. With short sleeves and a relaxed fit, this one is made for those throw-on-and-go summer days. Add a sneaker, a flip flop, or a sandal for a look you can wear anywhere from the grocery to the lake!
