The Best Black Denim for Women Over 50

This heathered brown (mocha) color has been a favorite of mine this fall and winter. I love the soft shade that is richer than beige, but softer than chocolate. The cashmere Classic Turtle Neck is called Taupe, and is very soft and comfortable. I read that it ran small, so I ordered an XL because I wanted an oversized look.

I paired the turtleneck sweater with black bootcut jeans and pointy boots in the same color to elongate my legs. These Kut From The Kloth jeans are nice, stretchy, and comfortable. I decided to style them in a couple of ways so you could get a better idea of how to wear them.

I love this heather grey striped turtleneck sweater with the black bootcut jeans; it is by the same brand as the mocha sweater I wore yesterday. It is slightly oversized which means you don’t see my lumps and bumps. You can thank me for that later. Lol! I didn’t get a photo of the back of the turtleneck, but you can see it on their website.

The Best Black Denim Jeans

Boot-cut jeans are a classic for a reason, and this pair from Old Navy is a must for any wardrobe. With a flattering high rise that cinches right at the waist, these pants create a long, lean silhouette perfect for showing off those curves. I think boot cuts have other perfect amount of flare! They’re made with a soft, stretchy fabric that moves with you, offering the comfort we Gurls love for running errands or casual meet-ups. Style them with a crisp white blouse and heeled booties for a polished outfit that’s both timeless and trendy. Bonus points for pairing them with a cute blazer for a more structured look!

Styling Tip: Balance the flared hem of these boot cut jeans with a fitted top or a tucked-in blouse. This will give you a more streamlined look and really highlight your waist. Throw on a pair of heeled boots to elongate your legs, and add a colorful scarf for a pop of personality!

The Original Cheeky Jean

The Original Cheeky Jean from Everlane gives skinny jeans a run for their money, and I’m here for it! These high-waisted skinnies sculpt the hips and thighs, for a sleek fit that flatters a variety of body types. The fabric blend has just the right amount of stretch to feel supportive without sacrificing comfort. Try these with ankle boots and a soft sweater tucked in for a fall-ready outfit that’s equal parts cozy and stylish. If you’re petite, you’ll love how these skinnies don’t overwhelm your frame—just a perfect balance of form and function.

Styling Tip: Since these high-waisted skinnies accentuate the waist and hug your curves, try pairing them with a slightly cropped sweater or a tucked-in tee. Add a statement belt for an extra touch of style, and finish the look with ankle boots or loafers for a chic and polished outfit.

The Best Black Denim Jeans With Flare

For those looking for something more modern, Good American’s straight-leg jeans are the ultimate in sophistication. They boast a high-waisted fit that smooths out the belly area and lifts the behind—thank you, lift tuck technology! These jeans are great for all-day wear and work well with both dressy and casual pieces. I’d recommend pairing them with a flowy blouse for a night out or a fitted tee for a more laid-back vibe. And don’t be afraid to try them with a heel to elongate your legs even more, making this a true wardrobe MVP.

Styling Tip: Straight-leg jeans work beautifully with a half-tucked button-up shirt or a flowy blouse. For an effortlessly put-together look, add a pair of sleek loafers or mules. You can even dress them up with a structured blazer for a more sophisticated vibe that’s perfect for lunch dates.

The Denim Trouser

Gurls, if you haven’t tried wide-leg jeans yet, now is the time! This J.Crew option has a semi-stretch fabric that gives you that perfect blend of structure and movement. The wide-leg silhouette is so flattering, especially for us ladies who like a little extra room around the hips and thighs. Tuck in a chambray shirt or style them with a chunky knit sweater for an easy, breezy look that’s perfect for brunch or shopping trips. Don’t forget to throw on a cute belt to highlight that waist!

Styling Tip: Embrace the volume of wide-leg pants by pairing them with a tucked-in turtleneck or a slim-fitting top. Add a belt to accentuate your waist, and wear heeled booties to add some height and balance out the wide-leg silhouette. This outfit is perfect for when you want to look effortlessly elegant!

The Best Black Denim Jacket

Who doesn’t love a good denim jacket? This one from Wrangler is a versatile piece that can elevate any outfit. It’s my favorite eenim jacket, and I own it in two colors. Hmmm, maybe I need this black version also. Throw it over a dress for a casual yet put-together look or layer it with a shacket (yes, we’re talking double denim!) for ultimate style points. With its durable fabric and timeless design, this jacket will be a favorite for years to come.

Styling Tip: Layer this classic denim jacket over a knit dress or even a pair of black joggers and a white tee for an easy, casual look. You can roll up the sleeves and add some fun bangles or a watch for a playful touch. If you’re feeling bold, try wearing it with a pair of black boot cut jeans for a trendy denim-on-denim outfit.

The Best Black Denim Shacket

Shackets are still having their moment, and this Oversized Button Up Frayed Hem Shacket is a fantastic pick! Made from soft denim, it gives you that “I just threw this on” look while still keeping things polished. Wear it open over a fitted turtleneck and wide-leg jeans for an effortlessly cool outfit, or button it up and style with black skinnies for a more tailored vibe. The best part? It has roomy pockets—practical and cute! Perfect for layering in the transitional months when the weather can’t decide what it wants to do.

Styling Tip: The shacket is your go-to piece for layering. Try wearing it over a basic long-sleeve tee and a pair of black skinnies for an on-trend, casual outfit. You can leave it unbuttoned for a laid-back vibe or button it up and add a chunky scarf for colder days. Complete the look with combat boots or slip-on sneakers.

The Best Black Denim Shirt

A black denim shirt is the unsung hero of any wardrobe, and this Button Down Denim Shirt  is simply stunning. It’s versatile enough to wear tucked into a denim midi skirt for that cool monochrome look or left untucked over a pair of straight-leg jeans for a relaxed weekend vibe. The soft fabric drapes beautifully and feels great on the skin, making it a staple for any outfit rotation. Add a statement necklace or some fun earrings to dress it up a bit. You’ll be amazed at how often you reach for this piece!

Styling Tip: A black denim shirt can easily be dressed up or down. For a sleek and modern outfit, wear it buttoned up with faux leather leggings and ankle boots. Or, keep it casual by leaving it unbuttoned over a graphic tee with straight-leg jeans and sneakers. Don’t forget to roll up the sleeves for an effortless feel!

The Best Black Denim Skirts

Midi skirts are back in style, and this black denim version from Talbots is a chic option for any season. It hits just below the knee, offering a flattering hem that looks great with tall boots or simple flats. The high-waisted design is perfect for tucking in tops and cinching that waist, while the fabric has enough structure to keep its shape. Pair it with a cozy sweater for fall or a lightweight blouse when it warms up—either way, this skirt will keep you looking pulled together with minimal effort.

Styling Tip: Pair this denim midi skirt with a fitted turtleneck and knee-high boots for a sophisticated fall outfit. Add a long, cozy cardigan for extra warmth and texture. You can also try a simple white tee tucked in, topped off with a bold statement necklace for a more polished yet easy-going look.

The Best Black Denim Short Skirt

Don’t let the fact that this is short mean it’s a no. This would be great with tights and boots! It’s got a playful vibe that’s perfect for casual days, whether you’re hanging out with the grandkids or heading out to lunch with friends. The slight stretch in the fabric makes it comfy enough for all-day wear, while the classic design ensures it won’t go out of style anytime soon. Add a tucked-in tee and white sneakers for a laid-back look, or throw on a lightweight shacket for extra warmth.

Styling Tip: Keep the playful vibe of this short denim skirt by styling it with a tucked-in striped tee and white sneakers for a casual weekend outfit. If the weather is cooler, add a pair of opaque tights and ankle boots, and layer on a chunky knit sweater. Finish with a crossbody bag for hands-free ease while out and about!
