No more chasing trends just to keep up—we’re all about timeless, affordable fashion that makes us feel amazing. Today, we’re sharing some favorite casual and affordable styles for women over 50, all from two go-to retailers that never let us down when it comes to stylish, budget-friendly options for every body type and personal style.

Linen-Blend Midi Dress
This one might be my favorite find of the bunch because I love a good one-and-done look for warmer weather. I love the side slit, the perfect length, and the linen fabric. Comes in three great summery colors.
Straw Tote
This is a great straw bag for all your summer getaways, beach vacations, and day trips. Comes in four colors, and under $50.
Mini Shirtdress
More easy one-and-done dressing! This one is a great option if you love a shorter dress.
White Cropped Denim
This wide-leg version is an updated look for your everyday white denim. Available in regular and tall, in eight colors. And, we have a whole blog post on wide-leg denim to help you style them!
Linen-Blend Seamed Midi Skirt
This under $50 midi-skirt is a great alternative to the classic white denim many of us love for spring and summer. Plus…midi skirts are trending this season! This one comes in both regular and petite sizes. And, of course we have a blog post to help you with styling ideas!

Megan’s Under $50 Picks from Old Navy
Old Navy is nailing it this year. A tried and true retailer we’ve all been shopping at for years. Their casual and affordable style finds from workout clothes, accessories to every day basics are hitting it out of the park this season. Looking to try a trend without investing $$$? Old Navy has it. As impressed as I am with their style, most of their items are made with natural fibers which is more durable and sustainable.
Add Old Navy back into your shopping rotation, they aren’t just for kids clothes and basics! (Although they are great for that, too.) I found so many pieces well under the $50 dollar mark, making them one of the most consistently affordable retailers out there.
Cotton Leopard Dress
100% cotton twill, this mini shirtdress in leopard is the perfect spring transition piece. Wear with fashion sneakers, heels, loafers and sandals (when it warms up).
Cropped Trench
Trench coats are THE iconic spring jacket. This cropped version is a modern take on a timeless classic style. Wear with anything and everything. I like mine styled with jeans and a tee for a French Girl chic vibe.
Open Knit Boatneck Sweater
This sweater is giving major Varley vibes. Wear over a tank with white jeans or linen pants for casual spring/summer outfit. It’s great for those of us that like to cover our arms but not be too hot.
Kelly Green Cardigan
This sweater immediately caught my eye in the store. The color is spring perfection and looks great with denim. She comes in a bunch of colors, but this is my favorite. The perfect colorful pick-me-up for your spring wardrobe.
PU Leather Sandal
I’m not sure who the new shoe designer is at Old Navy – but they are killing it. These sandals look like they are high end $200 shoes. The photos DO NOT do these justice. In person they are stunning – the molded footbed, the shiny brass hardware, all of it. Pro tip: These sandals are perfect for wide feet.
