Style is something that only gets better with age! The older you are, the more comfortable you feel in your skin. The more comfortable you are, the better you get to know yourself, your style, and how to express who you are through fashion.
When confidence takes hold, we get the opportunity to discover our true style and express it by knowing our preferences and what looks good.
When it comes to reaching fashion icon status, it’s all in consistency. The personal style you develop speaks volumes about your character and radiates your confidence and individuality. This is why styling in your 50s can be advantageous – nobody knows you better than you!
Here are a few over-50s style icons we are always inspired by!
Demi Moore

Demi has always embraced the 90’s aesthetic in her style. She often opts for a monochromatic look, keeping her tones neutral and colours to a minimum. Nothing is over the top, but she still manages to look effortlessly stylish. Moore always looks sharp, and proves the impact a few timeless, minimalist pieces can have on a capsule wardrobe.
Naomi Campbell

Naomi has dominated the runway for decades, reaching supermodel status. What we love about Naomi is her playful nature when it comes to building her distinctive, stand-out style. She’s not afraid to dabble with colour and texture and proves to be quite the style chameleon blending in to any scene, on and off the runway.
Jenna Lyons

Jenna, perhaps a less familiar face, is the creative director and president of American clothing brand J.Crew. Jenna’s signature style accessory is her pair of black-rimmed glasses, which make an appearance for most of her ensembles. Jenna often goes for the wardrobe staples like a crisp white shirt, paired with something a little eclectic, often with a lot of pattern. Finished with a bright red lip, Lyon’s chic style has a boldness about it we love.(opens in new tab). Jenna

If you aren’t already marvelling over the stylish Moroccan mom-and-daughter duo inspiring the masses on Instagram, you’ve got to check them out! Meryem has a keen eye for styling her mom, Najate, in outfits that embrace contemporary street fashion. Meryem goes for full-on colour with knitwear, silk head scarves and sneakers.

Tilda Swinton rocks sharp tailoring and loud pops of colour like she owns it. Often opting for the more androgynous wardrobe, Swinton’s style screams silent luxury, with a touch of edginess. A quality carried through in her beguiling persona. She loves neutral hues injected with a bit of sharp colour. We love Swinton’s confidence and comfort in her own skin and style.

Sarah is an award-winning journalist, tv host, and seasoned traveler. When you need inspo for your travel capsule wardrobe, she’s your girl. She brings a bright, colourful, eclectic, and bold pop of confidence in the room with her comfortable yet inimitable style. Think sneakers, maxi dresses, jeans, and a statement hat to finish.
Yasmin Furmie

One of SA’s own, Yasmin is a designer and fashion entrepreneur who goes by her own fashion rules. Yasmin loves to play with bright prints and contemporary cuts in modern silhouettes. Her signature finish is always pair of stylish sneakers. We love Yasmin’s creativity when it comes to pairing different wardrobe items in ways that aren’t obvious.
