6 Simple Summer Items Over-40 Influencers Turn to Every Season

While the year you were born should have nothing to do with your fashion decisions, we often turn to women over 40, in particular, for primo style inspiration given their sartorial experience over the years. On that note, we recently covered the pieces women in this age group are wearing with jeans right now. Today, we thought we’d dive a bit deeper into a few of the warm-weather staples this set continues to wear.

To highlight further, we turned to the Instagram accounts of some of our favorite influencers over 40 to uncover the simple items they seem to routinely turn to for their chic ensembles. Keep scrolling for a breakdown of cool tops, denim cuts, and dress silhouettes to consider—complete with product recommendations if you’re shopping currently. And while the ladies below are over 40, all of the pieces are noteworthy because they’d work for anyone at any age. Because remember: Age is just a number.

While the classic white button-down is a forever staple, blouses with unique details (like tie accents and in asymmetrical cuts) are another summer staple.
