Chic Summer Outfits from Macy’s That Women Over 50 Will Love
Why Macy’s Is a Great Place to Shop for Summer
If you’re updating your warm-weather wardrobe, Macy’s has a wonderful selection of summer-ready outfits. Whether you prefer lightweight linen, vibrant florals, or breezy shorts, these pieces are polished and age-appropriate without sacrificing comfort or style. Today, I’m sharing three outfits I put together that are versatile, flattering, and ideal for women over 50.
Classic Linen with a Modern Twist
This outfit checks every box for me: polished, comfortable, and perfect for staying cool when the summer heat kicks in. I’ve always loved a good blazer, and pairing it with tailored shorts gives the whole look a fresh, updated feel. It’s that perfect blend of put-together and relaxed, which makes it ideal for a day of shopping, a casual lunch date, or even a summer evening event. When I wear this outfit, I feel confident and pulled together, but not like I’m trying too hard. The fabrics are lightweight and breathable, and everything moves with me, no fussing, no tugging, just easy style that still looks polished.
European Linen Blazer
This Linen Blazer from Quince is something I reach for again and again. It’s not stiff or stuffy, and the linen gives it that breezy, summertime feel. I love how it hangs, it’s unlined and soft enough to keep things relaxed.
Matte Satin Tee
I’ve become a big fan of satin tees lately. They’re just a little more elevated than a basic cotton top, and this Matte Satin Tee is lightweight with a silky finish that layers beautifully under jackets or cardigans. I also own this tee in ivory, and it looks great with everything.
The large JULIA GOLD Necklace has a bold, modern feel. It’s a great way to add some contrast against a light-colored top. The Baby Knot Earrings are lightweight, shiny, and classic; these are a staple in my jewelry drawer. (Use code STEPHENS15 for 15% off.) The small Pebble Pendant Necklace is a pretty little layering piece that adds dimension without overpowering the look.
Glen Check Pleated Linen Twill Shorts
These Glen Check Pleated Linen Twill Shorts are such a surprise hit! They’re polished enough to feel dressed up, but the linen fabric keeps them casual. The pleats give them a tailored vibe, and the glen check print is subtle but stylish.
Ornament Thong Sandals
These Thong Sandals are my go-to sandals this summer. They slip on easily, stay comfortable all day, and the ornament detail gives them a little something extra.
Italian Leather Handwoven Crossbody
This Handwoven Crossbody is a work of art. It’s beautifully made, holds all my essentials, and adds that rich texture that ties everything together.
Floral & Feminine Summer Outfits from Macy’s
This is one of those outfits that instantly puts me in a good mood. The floral top is cheerful without being loud, and the relaxed fit means I’m not tugging or adjusting anything throughout the day. Paired with comfy Bermuda shorts, this is the kind of look I’d wear for sightseeing on vacation, hosting a casual get-together, or running errands while still feeling cute and pulled together. I love that it’s easy to wear but still feels intentional, no thinking required, just grab and go.
Relaxed-Fit Floral Short-Sleeve Shirt
This Floral Short-Sleeve Shirt is so breezy and comfortable. It doesn’t cling, and it lays just right on the body. The floral print has a timeless charm, and the colors are soft and flattering.
Navy Twill Stretch Bermuda Shorts and Wedge Heels
These Bermuda Shorts are a staple for any summer wardrobe. The stretch makes them forgiving and easy to move in, and the longer length offers coverage without looking frumpy.
I’m always on the lookout for a good pair of shoes, and these Wedge Sandals deliver. The heel gives just the right amount of lift, but I can still walk in them for hours without sore feet.
Accessories
I’m wearing the same necklace and earrings. I thought you could see the size and design of the earrings better in this photo.
Relaxed Linen Layers
I like to call this my “I need to be comfortable but still look like I made an effort” outfit. It’s a no-fail look for everything from travel days to brunch with friends. The layers are light and airy, and the linen pants have that flowy movement that always feels so flattering. Isn’t that what we all want in summer? It’s soft, structured, and relaxed all at the same time.
European Linen Structured Blazer
This version of the Linen Blazer is a bit more tailored than the first. I sized up for a looser fit, but if you prefer a more fitted look, you can go with your usual size. Either way, it adds just the right polish to a casual outfit.
Cotton T-Shirt
This Cotton T-Shirt is soft, breathable, and easy to tuck or leave loose. I love having a good neutral tee in my closet that works with everything. This one is slim fitting, which is trending this season.
Wide-Leg 100% Linen Pants
If I could live in Wide-Leg Linen Pants all summer, I probably would. These run a little big, so I recommend sizing down. The wide leg is flattering, especially when paired with something more fitted on top.
Clarks always delivers when it comes to comfort, and these Leather Wedges are no exception. They’re surprisingly easy to walk in, even if you’ll be on your feet all day.
Pebble Leather Crossbody Bag
I love a great everyday bag that holds up well and matches just about anything. The pebbled texture and structured shape of this Leather Crossbody Bag are beautiful, and it can be dressed up or down.
Final Thoughts on Summer Outfits from Macy’s
Macy’s has always been one of my go-to places to find stylish, age-appropriate pieces for summer. I appreciate that they carry classic silhouettes in breathable fabrics and offer sizing that works well for women over 50. These outfits are great for errands, outings, and everything in between, and each one can be mixed and matched with pieces already in your closet.

Verse Of The Day
Matthew 25:35-36 (NIV)
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

Lol! I am actually working on a post for this week!
Found it. Crossbody bag is nice.
My Macy’s has really gone down hill. They no longer carry Petites or Plus sizes in store. It looks more like a K-Mart just before they closed. So sad!
🙂 You look great in all the outfits. I did buy the blazer from Quince a few months ago.
Love the floral blouse and pebble crossbody. I see them in my closet soon!
😊 Love linen in the summer and loose palazzo pants or cute dress to keep cool😎

😊 I love all the outfits with the blazer. You look so sharp in them. I miss Macy’s closing in our town. Our mall went down hill after that. Thank you for your comment on remembering our fallen men and women this Memorial Day.
🙂
I bought the linen blazer, can’t wait to get it!
Are linen blazers suppose to be worn wrinkles? Mine comes out of the dryer that way.
Linen is known for it’s wrinkles. I’ll steam out some of the deep wrinkles, but the others don’t bother me.
😊 I have the black thong sandals from WM. I love them. If it will get cold enough to wear them!!! Next month I will be complaining it is too hot! Love the shorts. I love all of Macy’s outfits. They are my go to for clothes. Them and Dillard’s.
😊
I used to love shopping in the Macy’s near us, but they closed. I still like shopping their online store.

The matte satin tee is perfect, and the linen blazer with it is classy.
I have spiderwort in my yard, it’s beautiful. I’ve only found it growing wild, never in any nursery. I’m glad it spreads and likes my yard.
found it!

😊 Happy Memorial Day!
I think nothing beats a cool summer dress in hot weather!

Hey Tania, you piqued my interest in linen slacks. My normal summer (non-work) outfit is a sleeveless top and linen or light cotton shorts, with sandals and my usual jewelry. So I thought to experiment with some linen slacks. Got 2 pairs on their way for me to try. I love Macy’s, by the way, they have a really large selection of petites (mostly online though). That and their clearance handbags – you can get an amazing deal there on some quality leather purses.
😊 love the floral shirt.
Linen is one of my favorite summer fabrics.🙂
😊
Cute stylish summer fashion ideas
We call it a spider plant, it blooms in the morning, closes up, and then opens back up. They spread a lot and the wind blows the seed from them and you will see them everywhere. Nice outfits.
😃 Thank you for sharing the Clarks platform sandals with us! I have been looking for a pair of sandals to wear with my really long pants and dresses that are adjustable since I have very narrow feet. I just ordered them from QVC and my fingers are crossed that my bad knee and ankles will handle them. I really like today’s scripture!
🙂 cute selections. I’ve had spiderwort for decades. Thrives in Tennessee heat and is low maintenance. Several years ago, a lady came to my door and wanted to know if she could have some. I was glad to share. She came prepared…she was wearing garden boots, and had a shovel and bucket. I love a southern woman with a mission!
Guess what! I’m a winner and Tania sent me an Amazon gift card. Thanks Tania.
I like the floral shirt — looks cool and easy and I’m in hot Arizona. Also the earrings are a style I don’t have so I’ll be looking.

😀 Macy’s is a great retailer, thank you for sharing some of their products. I, often, find their label of clothes are well-made and lasting. My city goes through periods of “we’re getting a Macy’s” and my heart soars, but, alas, still no Macys😪
Many years ago we were adding plants to the naturalized area in the back of the yard. I asked the landscaper about the Spiderwort plant and he referred to them as “Ditch plants”. 😊 I have always liked them!
😊 I like the leather crossbody and floral shirt.

😊 Linen is my favorite. Great choices
😀found it – that floral blouse is really cute.

I like floral shirt and navy shorts along with the navy tee!
Love Macy’s. Love all your lovely outfits. I bought the print in a boat neck tee. I also bought a new royal blue and cream print tee too. Bought a beautiful blouse from I.N.C. White background with lovely floral print. Will look great with navy slacks. Also love Patricia Nash bags which you can buy on sale from Macy’s. They are pricey, but stand the test of time. Buy all my pajamas, bras and panties from Macy’s. Love the Donna Karan brand.
Those sounds like great purchases.
😀didn’t find it & very classy clothes!
😀very nice!
