You loved our fall trends for women over 50 story so much we just couldn't wait to share winter ideas with you! Though there's not a huge difference between what's popular during both seasons, there are small ways you can transition your wardrobe. From tailored denim to scarf coats (our favorite), here are five winter trends women over 50 can seamlessly wear!

Explore the top 5 winter trends women over 50 can easily style

  1. Banana Republic Pia Denim Midi Skirt
  2. Mango Suede Leather Loafers
  3. Tecovas Sierra Tote Bag
  4. Abercrombie & Fitch Easy Funnel Neck Sweater
  5. Anthropologie Brushed Cardigan Sweater Coat

1. Tailored Denim

Ann Taylor

Ann Taylor The Denim Trouser

Denim is a timeless classic that's been around for as long as any of us can remember. It also comes in a variety of styles, making it easy to style no matter your age. What makes tailored denim so special — like this pair of Ann Taylor trousers — is it's ability to be appropriate for business casual work settings. The classic rinse wash is more ideal for cooler winter days while the flared hemlines give ankle books a nice peek-a-boo feature.

GAP

GAP Classic Button-Down Jean Shirt

A classic button-down shirt with non-stretch denim is another easy style to wear because it can go with almost anything you own. Bootcut jeans? Yep! A suede midi skirt? We love a western moment! However, the most important thing we appreciate about this shirt is that it's made of 95% cotton.

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Pia Denim Midi Skirt

Denim skirtshave been been on the style scene for a while and we're sure they're here to stay. To avoid baring too much skin during winter, opt for a midi option like this piece from Banana Republic. It has a similar flared hemline like the Ann Taylor Denim Trousers, making it appropriate for 9 to 5 days, brunch with friends on Saturday, or church on Sundays!

2. Playful Textures

Mango

Mango Suede Leather Loafers

Loafers are an absolute staple during fall and winter, hence why we keep talking about them so much! They're a chic way to elevate even the most basic t-shirt and jeans outfit combinations, plus they work for everyone. Get a suede pair to add subtle texture to your outfit for a fun chic moment.

Old Navy

Old Navy High-Waisted Corduroy Wide-Leg Pants

Corduroy pants are another winter staple that continue to be recycled throughout the years. No matter how hard we try, we keep coming back to them which is why we think they're a great style option for women over 50. Because of their texture, these pants can also add subtle texture to your overall look without creating a huge statement.

Saks Fifth Avenue

Joe's Jeans by Dani Michelle Mia Crop Leather Pants

If you want to wear something a little bolder, you can't go wrong with black leather pants. They're a must-have during colder months, especially if they're lined!

This pair gives you the option to wear them with calf or knee-high boots so that they elongate your frame. Ankle boots are always cute, but they'd slightly throw off the dimensions of these pants! Once you have your chosen footwear, add a cute cardigan or sweater to it for a cozy look that'll receive compliments!

3. Animal Print

Tecovas

Tecovas Sierra Tote Bag

Leopard print is always trending, but that doesn't mean that's the only animal pattern you have to wear. Cow print is another fun way to add a pop of texture to your outfit if you're wearing something monochromatic. Or, you can easily copy the outfit above and look equally as stylish.

P.S. Don't be surprised if you see someone from B+C's editorial team wearing this look!

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Oversized Snake Print Midi Dress

It's okay if wearing cow print feels weird to you because that's not your only option! Snake print is another pattern you can wear, especially if it looks like this Banana Republic midi dress. Instead of the typical depiction of snakes, this dress looks like someone zoomed in on scales and created something that feels more refined.

Sam Edelman

Sam Edelman Linnie Bit Mule

Add a touch of zebra print to your winter outfit with these calf hair mules by Sam Edelman. They still have a bold factor like the Tecovas tote bag or the Banana Republic snake print dress, but they're not as in-your-face.

4. Shades Of Green

J.Crew

J.Crew Daphne Topcoat

Everyone needs a nice topcoat in their life, preferably in the shade green! We're 100% biased about that because green brings out a person's inner glow and helps ground them based on color psychology. Also, the fact you could wear a sweatsuit with this coat and still look put together makes us excited to share it with you.

Target

Target Bucket Crossbody Bag

Add a pop of color to your outfit with this cute crossbody bag found at Target, everyone's favorite place to shop. The minimal gold hardware gives it such a sleek appearance that we're personally fighting the urge to buy it in black too!

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Easy Funnel Neck Sweater

You can always rely on a sweater to be easy to style! Abercrombie & Fitch's funnel neck version is amazing for anyone who wants to wear a turtleneck without feeling like they're struggling to breathe. We understand they're not always comfortable, but you won't get that with this cute style!

5. Cardigan & Coats

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Brushed Cardigan Sweater Coat

Are you ready to give up cardigans? We figured you'd say no so we're giving the best of both worlds — a cardigan coat. Anthropologie always has the cutest winter styles so this brushed texture was too cozy-looking to ignore. You know what's even more exciting about it? Anthropologie is literally giving you an OOTD idea you can easily recreate at home!

NA-KD

NA-KD Wool Scarf Detail Coat

Protect your neck from the brutal winter winds with NA-KD's scarf coat that'll keep you warm and chic. It's slightly oversized so you're able to wrap yourself up and not have to worry about looking like you didn't put any effort into your look.

Quince

Quince Double-Faced Merino Wool Scarf Coat

Go for a shorter option for the days where it's not as cold. You'll still get the same effect from a longer scarf coat without feeling like you'll trip over the hemline. Since Quince's design is wool, you'll still be nice and toasty! Just add a pair of gloves so that your hands don't freeze!

I truly feel like I’ve been living under a rock when it comes to what’s good at Whole Foods. Turns out, they’ve been hiding some really impressive deals on groceries in the shadows, but I’m here to shed some light on ‘em. Whole Foods offers savings every week, and I’m fully convinced that my local Whole Foods will be seeing a whole lot more of me from now on.

Scroll on for details on Whole Foods’ top deals to shop starting today!

1. BOGO 50% off packaged soups (Tuesdays)

Tuesdays and Fridays are the main days of the week that Whole Foods offers savings on their groceries. The first amazing deal for Tuesdays is BOGO 50% off packaged soups – perfect for this time of year!

They’ve got every kind of flavor from minestrone and chicken noodle to Italian wedding and broccoli cheddar. Their packaged soups average out at about $9 per 24-ounce tub, so saving 50% on one when you buy one is pretty good, especially for meal prep purposes.

Lukas / PEXELS

2. $2 off classic and organic rotisserie chickens (Tuesdays)

You can take $2 off two kinds of Whole Foods’ rotisserie chickens every Tuesday. Their classic rotisserie chicken goes for $9 while the organic version sells for $13. I love using rotisserie chicken for soups, sandwiches, wraps, and pastas, so getting a whole chicken to use for recipes all week long for just $7 is so nice!

Nadin Sh / PEXELS

3. $8 large cheese pizzas (Friday)

Sometimes you just do not feel like cooking on a Friday evening after work – that’s where this Whole Foods savings hack comes in! Every Friday, you can get a large cheese pizza for $8. While there’s nothing wrong with a plain cheese pizza (nostalgia galore!), I’d take advantage of this deal then bulk up my slices with various toppings like peppers, pepperoni, and olives.

Nadin Sh / PEXELS

4. 12 for $12 wild caught oysters (Friday)

Ooh, fancy! Every Friday, Whole Foods’ wild caught oysters go for $1 a pop. Buy a dozen for just $12, and you’re golden. This deal would be perfect for a bougie at-home date night.

We've already started rewatching scary movies, but you might be waiting until October to kick off your horror marathons. There'll be sharp fangs, a sweeter look at the Netherworld, and skeletons galore, so your pajamas should look the part!

It's no coincidence Halloween occurs after the Autumn Equinox where the days are shorter and the air is crisper. It only adds to the cozy and eery vibes we're looking for! To save you time, we have 15 insanely cute Halloween pajamas you'll be excited to wear while snuggling with one of your new cozy Amazon blankets!

The Best Halloween Pajamas

Old Navy

Old Navy Halloween Print Pajama Set

Pajamas don't have to be terrifying for you to wear them, but they do have to be cute. Take a cue from our top Halloween decorations by wearing something that features smiling pumpkins, intricate spider webs, and surprised ghosts!

This soft jersey set is made of 95 percent cotton and 5 percent spandex to give you a fitted look that won't cut off your circulation or fade the first time you wash it.

Forever21

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Shirt & Shorts Pajama Set

Beetlejuice 2is still on our minds, but it's not just our favorite ghoul we're thinking about. For reasons unknown, we can't stop thinking about Sandworms and their one-track mind mission. Ironically, Beetlejuice's signature black and white suit matches their memorable design so we say you need this Halloween pajama set, which is (thankfully) machine washable.

American Eagle Outfitters

American Eagle Outfitters Peanuts Fall Pumpkin Plush PJ Set

If this plush PJ set reminds you of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, that's 100 percent intentional. It's a well-known fact that the Peanuts characters wasted no time getting into the Halloween spirit by embracing pumpkins. You can continue to keep it short and sweet by wearing something that explores Snoopy's love for the orange fruit with this allover print!

Kohl's

Kohl's Snoopy Great Pumpkin Halloween Boxy Sleep Tee And Pants Set

You could also skip the Snoopy and pumpkin print by focusing on something straight out of the comic books. You'll still be wearing something reminiscent of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, but in a different font.

Target

Hyde & EEK! Boutique Glow-in-the-dark Skeleton Pajama

Have fun with your Halloween pajamas by wearing something that glows in the dark! This jumpsuit reminds us of decorations we spotted at Target, making it the fun and slightly hair-raising piece you should wear after taking the kids trick-or-treating. It could also function as a super comfy Halloween costume.

Printfresh

Printfresh Witch's Brew Sleep Shirt

This sleep shirt is giving us the adult version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch after a long night of casting spells, brewing potions, and running after her kids during bath time. Clears throat. Sorry, we got a little sidetracked there! But, who wouldn't want to wear Barbie-pink pajamas that acknowledge your love for a nice glass of wine after a long day?

Etsy

Enanday Horror Characters Pajamas

These Halloween pajamas are for anyone who's got a penchant for watching the most terrifying horror flicks known to mankind. Whether you can't stop watching the Predator or Nightmare on Elm Street franchises, there's a character that acknowledges your go-to film when the lights are out.

Amazon

Ekouaer Short Sleeve Nightshirt

On the other hand, sadistic movie characters may not be something you want to dream about at night, and we don't blame you. Instead of literally welcoming scariness in your bed, choose this short sleeve nightshirt. It celebrates the cartoonish version of Halloween that would comfort even the youngest of kids.

BloomChic

BloomChic Bone Chilling Skeletal Placket Sleep Jumpsuit

Who wears short Halloween pajamas? You do if you've got your eyes on this skeleton placket jumpsuit! We can't get over the intricate details on the skeleton's interior parts, from the spider who's found a new home to the orange hearts placed over the hip bones. They're such a cute reminder that our bones aren't useless!

Disney

Disney Mickey And Minnie Mouse Halloween Pajama Set

Mickey and Minnie Mouse sure know how to party, no matter what holiday it is! Honestly, we think you could get away with wearing this set as part of your family costumes or you can save for them bedtime! We'd choose the former because trick-or-treat is written all over this set.

Carter's

Carter's 2-Piece Glow Halloween Skeleton Pajamas

Carter's is stepping things up by including adults in all the Halloween fun this year. Instead of a short jumpsuit, you can wear this skeletal 2-piece set that glows in the dark. You'll still find a teeny spider getting comfortable between the bones, but you'll also see a little green ghost and a pair of daunting eyes staring back at you.

Target

The Nightmare Before Christmas Sally Family Blanket Sleeper

Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas deserves the praise she gets every Halloween. Not only did she find a way to help Jack Skellington feel less lonely, but she also served as a voice of reason throughout the film. If it weren't for her, we don't know where our tragic hero would've ended up. That being said, step into this family blanket sleeper that has Sally's love and care etched into it.

Printfresh

Printfresh Halloween House Cats Long PJ Set

We know the "childless cat ladies" quip was meant as an insult, but the joke's on whoever hasn't had the pleasure of being chosen by felines. They're truly selective and have a sixth sense that puts them in tune with the person they trust.

Lean into the witchy vibe of having a couple of cats who are so locked in with your habits and moods they feel like your familiars.

Walmart

Way To Celebrate Halloween Fang Print 2-Piece Set

From Bram Stoker's Dracula to Interview with a Vampire, you've seen all the blood-draining movies. But that's not to say you're done watching them. In fact, you probably plan to buy a set of plastic fangs to match your new Halloween pajamas. If this sounds spot on, hurry to your nearest Halloween shop to pick up your new fangs so you can start wearing this 2-piece set next week!

JC Penney

JCPenney Nightmare Before Christmas V-Neck 2-Piece Set

Before we go, we can't forget about Halloween pajamas aimed at applauding Jack Skellington. He knew how to put on a frightful event, but the place where his human heart used to be remained open and giving. It's true he shouldn't have tried to steal Christmas, but every hero has their flaw!

As much as I love celebrity couples, I love celebrity sibling relationships even more. And Elle and Dakota Fanning are two sisters I've grown up watching since I first saw Dreamer in 2005. Considering Elle Fanning is only five months older than me, and I have a sister of my own, this is one relationship that feels particularly familiar. And while Elle has also watched Dakota Fanning act since we were kids, Dakota just revealed seeing Elle onscreen is just as special for her.

Here's why Dakota & Elle Fanning get emotional seeing each other onscreen.

Elle remembers "sobbing" during one particularly emotional Dakota Fanning movie.

“When Elle’s in anything, it makes me feel it deeper,” Dakota Fanning said at TheWrap’s Power Women Summit on December 3. “She never can fully disappear into a character totally for me as her sister. She obviously does an amazing job, but I’m always gonna see my little sister a little bit.”

And Elle is just as touched by Dakota's roles, and remembers "uncontrollably sobbing" after seeing Now Is Good, a movie where Dakota's character was dying of cancer. “Because it was my sister, I had a real traumatic reaction after that premiere and the screening,” Elle says. “Obviously the acting, but it was something felt on a deeper level.”

“I’m doing this job, I’m an actor because my sister started before me and I watched her,” Elle continues. “I wanted to do exactly what my big sister wanted to do.”

And their movies have also made an impact on everyone who watches them.

When Brit + Co caught up with Dakota Fanning at the world premiere of The Watchers, I had to ask about one of her most iconic movies: Uptown Girls. "I love it," she says of TikTok memes and edits giving the movie new life. "It's nostalgic for people who are kind of around my age, who grew up watching that movie, I think it's like a comfort movie for people. And so I love that people are still revisiting it and loving it. And maybe now that everyone's older [they're] understanding different things about it."

Dakota starred opposite Brittany Murphy, who also had roles in movies like Clueless, 8 Mile, and Girl, Interrupted. Brittany passed away in 2009 when Dakota was 15. "I loved Brittany so much and I still miss her," she says. "So anytime that she has, you know, a moment where people think about her is also nice."

You can see Elle Fanning in A Complete Unknown, in theaters December 25, and you can also stream Dakota Fanning's new show The Perfect Couple on Netflix now.
