Looking for fashion over 40 ideas that give you something new to try with your favorite pieces? Think a camel coat with white sneakers, a burgundy cardigan or leopard-print shoes with jeans.
These outfits include simple everyday combinations plus a few dressier looks.
You can keep things understated or bring in a bright red layer. I especially love the little accessory details here.
Sometimes a colorful necklace or a different pair of shoes is all you want to change.
Outfit ideas worth saving
camel coat and white sneakers
We’re starting off with this cute camel coat and cropped jeans combination. I love the striped shirt left untucked underneath. The white sneakers keep it casual.
Try a structured top-handle bag and dark sunglasses like these to finish your own version.
tan trench over black
Don’t want to spend ages matching colors? This one is for you.
A black crewneck top, cropped trousers and ankle boots sit underneath a long tan trench.
The little gold-tone hoops are such a pretty finishing touch. I’d keep the accessories just as simple.
gray blazer and wide-leg jeans
This may just be one of my favorite jeans outfits here. The gray blazer looks so good with a plain white tee and those pointed black shoes.
Tuck your tee into wide-leg jeans, then add a black belt if you want to follow this combination.
taupe skirt and printed scarf
How pretty is this tonal outfit? The loose turtleneck and long skirt are lovely together, but that printed scarf across the hip is my favorite detail.
Try wearing a long round pendant over your sweater like this. The pale handbag gives you another shade to work with.
gray tee and draped sweater
If you’re looking for a different way to wear your dark wide-leg trousers, go with a gray tee and colorful sneakers. The burgundy and cream shoes are such a good little surprise.
Drape a darker gray sweater over your shoulders to try the same layered look.
black midi and crossbody bag
Don’t want to add lots of jewelry or extra layers? No problem!
This black cap-sleeve midi dress looks lovely with a small crossbody bag and oversized sunglasses. I love the curved overlap at the front of the skirt.
navy stripes and red beads
I am obsessed with this color combination. The navy-and-white stripes look so cute with the chunky red necklace and olive-green bag.
Keep the white cropped trousers if you want to recreate it. Those wide cuffs are worth a closer look too.
burgundy cardigan and gray jeans
This is such a pretty way to wear burgundy. The buttoned cardigan is tucked into dark gray wide-leg jeans, with a taupe belt showing at the waist.

I especially love the large brown bag. Try pointed shoes in a similar shade if you want to keep that same combination.
biker jacket and patched jeans
Love an outfit with lots of details? There’s plenty here, from the jacket’s quilted shoulders to the patches and rips on the jeans. The lace-up boots have buckles too!
Add blue-lensed sunglasses if you want to borrow that little touch of color.
ivory top and pale trousers
If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. An ivory sleeveless V-neck top pairs with pale beige trousers and strappy sandals.
Try a small front tuck like this rather than tucking in the whole top.
white shirt and sparkling toes
How cute are those sparkling toe caps? They make this white shirt and jeans pairing a little more playful.
The burgundy shoulder bag is gorgeous beside them.
Leave your shirt untucked and roll the sleeves if you want the same relaxed look.
tan blazer and white trousers
Bring out your white trousers for this pretty tan-and-white outfit. I love the layered necklaces over the white V-neck top, especially with the blazer sleeves pushed up.
A beige belt and large matching bag finish this look. You could skip a few necklaces if you prefer less jewelry.
burgundy wrap dress
This burgundy dress is so pretty all on its own. The wrap front, side tie and curved hem give you plenty of detail without a patterned print.

I’d keep the small round pendant and black ankle-strap shoes for a dinner outfit.
blue jacket and blush pink
The matching pink touches are my favorite part of this outfit. A blush sweater peeks out beneath the blue jean jacket, with a pink bag and pointed pumps bringing that color back in.
Try darker slim jeans if you want to follow this look.
leopard wrap top
Who else loves a leopard-print top with jeans? This one has a wrap neckline, a side tie and full sleeves gathered at the cuffs.
The dark slim jeans keep the rest simple. Add a small black handbag and tan platform sandals to borrow the whole combination.

blue jacket and statement earrings
Those large round earrings are gorgeous! The blue jacket and white tee make a simple starting point, with a pale patterned skirt showing below.
Try a long necklace and stacked bracelets if you like the extra jewelry here. There’s no need to stop at the earrings.
long skirt and chunky sneakers
I love this long taupe skirt with the oversized pale gray turtleneck. The chunky white-and-gray sneakers are a fun change from boots.

Keep your socks showing above the shoes if you want to recreate this styling detail.
navy with tan accessories
Don’t want to mix lots of colors? Try a navy long-sleeve top with matching wide-leg trousers.
The tan belt, tote and pointed shoes look so pretty against the dark blue.

This is one I’d save for a workday outfit.
red cardigan and leopard shoes
I am obsessed with this bright red cardigan. It looks so cute over a white top, especially with those cropped jeans and pointed leopard-print shoes.
If you’ve been keeping your printed shoes for plain outfits, try them with a colorful layer like this instead.
cable-pattern sweater and tall boots
Last but definitely not least, we have this pale gray turtleneck and jeans outfit. I love the cable pattern down the front and the long hem.
Tuck slim jeans into tall black boots to follow this look. The cream top-handle bag is a lovely finishing touch.
