Fashion Bloggers Over 40 You Should Follow Now

Over the years, I have become very selective when it comes to the blogs I follow – especially the blogs curated by fashion bloggers over 40.

Fashion Bloggers Over 40

I deleted many blogs from my reader a while ago. The ones I still follow boast a strong writer's voice and convey a sense of purpose within the blogging world. For example, take the following group of women. They may all be fashion bloggers over 40; but they all write about fashion in a thoughtful manner, while curating excellent content and boasting an impeccable sense of style. Therefore I present IFB's 2017 top picks, when it comes to our favourite fashion bloggers over 40.

Editor's Note: This list is updated on a bi-annual basis. Please feel free to give a shoutout to your favourite fashion bloggers over 40 in the comments below, if you wish them to be considered for this list.

Fashion on The 4th Floor

Fashion on The 4th Floor

Seemingly ageless. Incredibly chic. Ridiculously fit. Diane of Fashion on the 4th Floor is one of my current favorites, when it comes to fashion bloggers over 40. Whether she's sporting denim or a killer, shoulder-bearing cocktail dress her positive energy just jumps off of the page . If you're looking for effortlessly chic, classic style inspiration be sure to check her blog out.

Petite Style Studio

Petite Style Studio

If you are petite like Trina, from Petite Style Studio, you will find her blog to be an amazing resource. She's a master when it comes to pairing bright reds and pinks against a muted backdrop. Her blog is worth checking out, regardless of where you fall on the height spectrum.

Fake Fabulous

Fake Fabulous

Samantha, a part-time biomedical scientist, shows how it's done when it comes to color on her blog Fake Fabulous. She is especially talent when it comes to styling accessories, like belts and scarves. Be sure to check out this stylish Scot, if you're looking for some Fall/Winter styling inspiration.

Girls of a Certain Age

Girls of a Certain Age

I was always a fan of Lucky magazine (RIP!) and I loved founding editor Kim France's style. On her blog, Girls of a Certain Age, she posts about shopping in NYC (and shopping in any city, in general), along with writing about her favourite designers and current shopping trends. She does an excellent job of relating to her readers, and engages in a dialogue with her community. She frequently asks her followers questions and is quick to respond to comments. It also doesn't hurt that we share a love of clog shoes!

Not Dressed as Lamb

Not Dressed as Lamb

I may not wear color myself, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate it on others. In fact, I especially appreciate it on Catherine from Not Dressed as Lamb. The outfits she wears would be WAY out of my own comfort zone, but she never fails to look beautiful and confident in everything she puts together. Her photography is also gorgeous, and I find huge inspiration in her work.

Accidental Icon

Accidental Icon

We have featured Lyn from Accidental Icon here on IFB before. When it comes to her killer style and no-nonsense attitude about life, we say never enough. Lyn is a prolific blogger, Yohji Yamamoto lover and social welfare professor at Fordham University, and her popularity skyrocketed five years ago. Half a decade later, Accidental Icon is still going strong and it's easy to see why.

J'Adore Couture

JAdore Couture

I'm not going to lie, I'm mostly jealous of Kim's killer handbag collection. I also appreciate her design aesthetic, shopping posts and designer features on her blog, J'Adore Couture. She's also great at mixing high & low in her outfit posts, making her style more accessible. So if you're a fan of both the department store and fast fashion outlets, be sure to check blog out for some inspiration.

Not Dead Yet Style

Not Dead Yet Style

One of the best things about Patti's blog, Not Dead Yet Style, is her Monday outfit roundup post. In this weekly feature, she complies a list of various style bloggers and links to their respective sites. It's a perfect post to check out, if you're seeking inspiration or are looking for new blogs to read. And while I love reading about anyone's personal journey, especially as I try to navigate my 40's in style, Patti's thoughts on everything are always fun to read. Not Dead Yet Style is completely relatable any fashion-loving woman, in any age range. I highly recommend you check it out.

Une Femme

Une Femme

I love a blog where you can get lost looking through old posts. And Une Femme, by Susan, is exactly that blog! I frequently go back through her travel posts for ideas on how to pack and her outfit posts for her elegant, minimal style. But I also appreciate her musings on “French chic.” As well, don't forget to read through the comments from her readers. They're very engaged and you can get a lot scrolling through the comments section on Une Femme, in addition to browsing through Susan's excellently curated posts.

Mama in Heels

Mama in Heels

Janise redefines the term “put together” on her blog Mama in Heels. Her beauty, fashion and lifestyle tips truly help me, when it comes to leaving the house looking presentable in the morning. I am not exactly sure how this mother of two balances it all – but she looks fierce while doing it!

Notes From A Stylist

Notes From A Stylist

IFB interviewed Sara from Notes From A Stylist last year, and quickly fell in love with her fashion meets lifestyle blog. This English stylist-turned-blogger writes about everything from how to hone your sense of style in your forties and fifties, to sharing recipes and traveling tips with her readers. Practical yet beautifully curated, we highly recommend check out this blog specifically geared to stylish Baby Boomers.

Lady of Style

Lady of Style

We know, we know. You probably don't understand German – that's okay, she writes her posts both in German AND in English. Therefore, there is no reason to stop you from perusing Annette's blog, Lady of Style. She does an excellent job of putting together everyday chic outfits, and is great style inspiration for anyone looking to incorporate a bit of European-style into their outfits.

    Grechen that’s so wonderful of you to feature 40+ bloggers – and how flattered am I that you included me (and my picture too – that was a shock in my Bloglovin feed)!!!

    You’ve included some that I haven’t discovered yet and it’s always great to discover new older bloggers! Just one little thing: my blog’s name is Not Dressed As Lamb (not “a lamb” – like “mutton dressed as lamb”)…

    Thanks so much for the shout out :))

    I’m only familiar with a few of these women, but I’m excited to check out the sites of others! I’m about to hit 30 myself, and I find a lot of inspiration in seeing the women my age, and older, and how they style themselves. It’s refreshing to see women who don’t sacrifice style as they age; if anything, they seem to have a better, stronger sense of style!

    Thank you for sharing these, Grechen!

    Great!!! I’m so happy to finally read some blogs written of, let’s say, “over 30”.
    I’m quite new on IFB but I’ve been really suprised how many teenagers there are! I posted yesterday an article about a forty Fashion blogger like me 🙂 … asking myself if someone could be interested in my blog even I’m not a young girl with a great body and I would like to open soon a hangout on Twitter with this subject.
    Thanks for this post!

      Omg! YES! I am over 40 and wear scrubs all day, so when I need to dress casual or for an event, I’m lost. I don’t want to dress like my 20 year old children, I’d like to look stylish and on a reasonable budget.

    Grechen, Thank you for sharing and introducing bloggers over 40. A huge yay for Catherine whom I’ve personally met and have just featured on my blog yesterday.

    I’m also finding it harder and harder to relate to most really young bloggers only because our lifestyle is so different.

    Reply
  15. Highland Fashionista

    Yaaay! I actually find that there is more variety in and about the over 40’s blogs; the style runs the gamut from conservative to kooky, and My eyes have been opened to a lot of designers who I would have never come across had I not linked-up. I also think that, even though he may not be over 40, we have to give Ari Seth Cohen his due for featuring older women (and men) on his blog, advanced style. It makes one realize that there is a whole world of blogging out there beyond the giveaways and the gifted brand-name togs.

    They are all such beautiful ladies, and the content of their blogs is so much meatier than a lot of the fashion blogs out there at the moment. I love reading blogs rather than just looking at the pictures, so it really is a breath of fresh air.

    Catherine from Not Dressed As Lamb definitely has caught my eye as one to return too. Her style is so well suited to herself, and her eyebrows really are fantastic!

    I’m glad to see some of us “older” bloggers getting recognized. I don’t often advertise my age. This is because I don’t wish to get pigeon-holed as simply a 40+ blogger, as I’ve seen happen many times. Also my readers are all over the map, age-wise, which I think is wonderful.
    I see some great blogs featured here that I enjoy, plus a few I’ll have to visit.

    Thanks for the recognition of this age group. Many are among my favorite
    bloggers. And, in the last year, this demographic of bloggers has
    flourished (move over, mommy bloggers). And, as much as I love fashion
    and even more so style–the intersection of self and clothes, women this
    age have lots on their brilliant minds. That’s why my college friend and I
    started secondlivesclub.com

    I was so very happy to see this post, and at the same time a little frustrated that there isn’t more recognition of women over 40 (or even 50 in my case) who are active in the fashion blogosphere. As some of the commenters have noted, there is a sense out there that fashion blogging is for 20-somethings. Meanwhile, there are LOTS of women in their 40s and 50s who actually buy and wear clothes (gasp!), have great style and things to say about it (among other topics)! Please, let’s see more! I’ll show you mine…

    Thanks Hillary, and thanks IFB for publishing this great list; can’t wait to check them out. We started our blog Blankstareblink.com to write about “not wanting to wave the white flag in the face of fashion” as we grew older. We love fashion and style, and grew frustrated by not seeing more people like “us”: moms and non-moms, juggling families and careers, cringing over the idea of “age appropriate” and the need to camouflage stretch marks while leaning on stretchy fabrics to control our nasty bits. Flip the finger at Father Time! xoxo

    Great topic to host bloggers over 40 , they seem to be in the minority although most contain very inspirational content and promotes a level of confidence only associated with women of a certain age. I ‘m 40+ and do not propose retiring from life merely because my knees are sagging, style has no age limit! My vote goes for Lady of style and Unne Femme, both packing a very stylish punch! I look forward to sharing some styling cessions with some of my 40+ friends!

    I am JUST starting a blog for women approaching or having moved into their freedom decade. It is a demographic with more discretionary income and a segment of the population that still wants to look good yet has been largely overlooked by the fashion industry. I was wondering if their is a network of fashion blogs that I should be linking up to for more visibility? I am eager to dig into some of these blogs that you have listed.

    Grechen,
    I’m looking forward to reading the fashion blogs on your list as soon as I finish work, but I hope you will do another list that has blogs for women over 50 or 60 and I hope you’ll include my blog, Boomerinas.com… My site is quite popular in the US, but I’m not above bribing you (haha). Well, my site has articles about things other than fashion, but I have found that writing about exercise is not as much fun as writing about what clothes to buy and what clothes to avoid… and it’s more fun to write posts that try to get fashion designers and manufacturers to make things that older chicks can wear without looking like idiots or without looking like old grannies. So, my site is slowly morphing into a fashion site. And, now back to work… Tina

    This is such a great post. You forgot someone! Heehe. Me!!

    I post with two of these fabulous bloggers each month: The Fab 40s. Diane and Samantha join me and five other in highlighting a style. It’s quite fun, and I adore both of these ladies. So proud of them for making your list IFB.

    Will you run it again? Maybe quarterly? There are so many of us out there.

    Again, great post. Carmen is one of my faves too. Just bought the shift in this post actually–because of her!!

    😀 Love, Ann from Kremb de la Kremb

    Thank you so much Grechen for including me in this group of wonderfully stylish women.
    I am honoured and delighted!
    Such a great surprise.

    Some of these bloggers I know (and love) the others I am keen to check out ASAP!
    Posts like this one are so helpful.
    There are so many blogs out there, and it is very difficult to find what I am looking for.
    It is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
    Luckily, you have come along with a big magnet and saved me a lot of time!
    Thank you so much.

    Gretchen, Great list. I can’t wait to discover more over 40 and over 50 blogger like myself. There is definitely a desire for woman to share their styles at this fabulous age they call 50. I would love to be on your list sometime.

    Nice list – good to see some familiar faces and some new. As an over 40s blogger myself I think these blogs are way more interesting than most of the younger fashion blogs. 40 plus women are way more settled in who they are, it’s not about fashion for fashion’s sake but style for what it expresses about who you are as a person.

    Thanks

      Thank you for doing this post! These are lovely ladies! Also, if you are ever interested in featuring a fashion and lifestyle blogger/vlogger over 50 (I’m 55), please visit my blog/YouTube channel, JLJBackToClassic.com (launched in August 2015). The site features my personal expression of timeless, understated style and wholesome (organic/natural) beauty and self-care. I am a former lifestyle-magazine editor who started this blog/YouTube channel to create a place for women who like traditional, classic fashion and home design. I also hope to be support for women who wish to age naturally, and with achieving optimum health in mind. Although I totally support women who want to do these things, I stopped hiding my gray hair in 2012 and am choosing not to do facial injections or plastic surgery. ~Janis Lyn Johnson at http://jljbacktoclassic.com

    These are all wonderful, stylish women showing the way for us over 40 women. I happen to have an apple-shape and big bust so it’s even harder finding blogs for what works for me….so I started my own! Pop over to www.whenthegirlsrule.com if you’re one of the many who have gained that dreaded midlife middle but still want to look stylish!

    Always great to see more peeps become aware of style after 40! So glad you posted this. Though you are just scratching the surface of what’s out here. I noticed Sylvia provided her listing, which is the primary source list of over 40 blogs. Drop by my blog any Tuesday after 9:00 am for “Your Week in Fashion” or any day to go through a couple years of archived posts. Look forward to seeing you there! Judi

    I am also an over 40s blogger, having taken a leap from teaching to blogging six months ago. I am passionate about fashion, beauty and travel and it’s great to discover so many other midlife bloggers, some of which I know already.
    I have left my site too for future reference, and I am just about to add a personal styling service to my blog so would appreciate any advice from fellow bloggers who have already done this!

    One of my favorites is 50chic.com. She embraces her age and always seems to add a bit of fun to what she does. Her Instagram account rocks @50chic50.

    For self promotion, it’s always interesting that when we say fashion bloggers we look at women but there are some getting into the game. I’d like to think The DCFashion Fool (www.dcfashionfool.com) shows that men don’t have to be afraid of fashion. And while his website is primarily his real estate business, Christopher Korey’s Instagram account (@ChristopherKorey) really shows how the dapper gentlemen really knows how to dress

    Hi Grechen!
    There aren’t enough “thank yous” on the planet to express how much this means to see you feature 40+ bloggers. Your extra efforts to search & put together such a wonderful article is incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your thoughtful, positive words I’m sure you found during your research there are so many other amazing 40+ & 50+ fashion bloggers who have fantastic blogs who should most definitley be added. So, I’m so humbled, flattered & shocked that you included me in this list of intelligent, powerful, beautiful, stylish women. Many of these women have been an inspiration for myself & given me so much encouragement to keep sharing & writing (when I feel the urge to close up shop). I love how they are showcasing that fashion doesn’t diminish with age. These fashionistas are taking their life experiences to pull from & show such a unique viewpoint that the younger blogger can’t offer the blogging community. I’m so grateful for mentors like Catherine of http://www.notdressedaslamb.com who has taken the time to educate me on how to be a better blogger & not be afraid to get myself out there. Several of these women are favs, but excited to discover those who are new to me. I love how supportive this little division of the big blogging world is towards each other. Again, thank you so much for writing this article & creating a little more awareness of mature blogger!!! I know I will miss loads, but here are a few that really move me: Sheela of http://sheelagoh.com / Dorrie of http://www.seniorstylebible.com / Ann of http://www.krembdelakremb.com / Judith of http://stylecrone.com / Yvonne of http://funkyforty.com / Debbie of fashionfairydust.com / 50chic.com

    Yay! Diane Capozzi xoxoxox

      In recent years the number of amazing older women starting fashion and style blogs has simply exploded. And yet I still hear women of my age (41) and older saying they’d love to start a blog but it really isn’t the sort of thing to do at their age (whether they’re also thinking I shouldn’t really be doing it I don’t know – or care). What they’re not realising is that there are so many advantages to blogging in your maturer years over doing it in your teens or twenties – and this makes us unique amongst the huge numbers of 20-somethings.

      I’ve been blogging for two and a half years now, and have been lucky enough to work towards, and achieve, my goal of becoming a full-time blogger. So after writing 549 posts – this is the 550th – I’ve realised I’m glad I’m blogging in my forties and not at a younger age.

    Wow! It’s so heartening to see beautiful and confident 40+ women, also refusing to succumb to styling obscurity. Styling is a powerful way to express our personalities, and our personalities become richer with age don’t you think? After nearly falling into the invisibility trap, I’ve bounced back fighting; for more media recognition, for inspiring other women to wear what the hell they like, regardless of age or body type. Would love for others to support my cause so our voices can be louder ? I’m in the process of building a blog website however for now you can find me on Insta @frockageing ?

    In your comment about “Notes from a Stylist” you advise that the blog is geared toward “baby boomers” in their 40’s and 50’s. I’d like to point out those of us in that age group are not baby boomers, lol! Our parents are!
