The journey to growing older is littered with stereotypes and assumptions about what a mature woman should (and shouldnt) actually wear.

Of course, by this point in our lives, we are wise enough to listen to the advice that serves us and to completely ignore the rest. For example, many of us would agree that a paisley-colored miniskirt might look better on younger legs (then again, maybe not!)

But, at the same time, there are plenty of fashion rules that are, at best, nave and, at worst, harmful to creating a stylish and comfortable life after 50.

Case and point denim and sweaters, both of which, from time to time are put on Things Older Women Should Never Wear lists and spread around the Internet.

One Size Fits All is *Not* the Mantra for Jeans After 50

Weve all had our experiments with denim over the years some successful and others not so much! I remember wearing bell bottoms in the 60s, but, I never really made the leap to the narrow leg versions.

For many decades, it felt like our generation was stuck with limited options for denim jeans well, no longer! Brands like Coldwater Creek are giving women of all ages more choices than ever!

Like all classic clothing items, jeans have evolved over the years and Coldwater Creek offers denim jeans in updated colors and styles.

One of my pairs are these Bootcut jeans. Not only do they look amazing, but, they are surprisingly comfortable since they have a little extra stretch. Oh, and did I mention that they are oh so. soft!

This particular pair, aptly called Cozy-up Boyfriend Jeans boasts a fleece lining to keep your warm through the long winter months. Who could ask for more?

Jeans Unplugged New Styles in All the Colors of the Rainbow

I am a huge fan of color in fashion! And, no, Im not just talking about navy and black, which seem to be the only colors that the experts can agree that older women can wear!

Well, its not just accessories and tops that can benefit from a dash of color. Jeans are also becoming increasingly versatile in this department.

For example, I love the colored jeans that Coldwater Creek offers like these Pull-On Slim Leg Jeans. They come in red, loden green, fawn, beechnut, white, copper and several other gorgeous colors!

Consider Embroidered Jeans for a Feminine, Bohemian Look

And in case youre looking for a colorful embroidery with wildflowers, the Creek Wild Romance Embroidered Jeans will definitely do the trick. The vintage-washed technique used on these jeans delivers a gently worn-in look and feel and a little spandex provides flexibility and comfort. Lovely!
