What to wear to Wimbledon: stylish and comfortable outfit ideas for women over 50 this summer1/6/2026 It’s summer event season here in the UK and there are two big dates on the calendar very soon: Royal Ascot in early June and Wimbledon at the end of June. I’d love to be going to both, or either to be honest, I’m not fussy! No plans as yet sadly, but if I was going, this is exactly the sort of dress I’d be wearing. And I absolutely plan to find another reason to wear it this summer. So, with that in mind, here is a little tennis style inspiration. Wimbledon is one of those lovely British summertime events that allows us to dress up a little. It is an excuse to wear the dress, add the accessories and make a bit more effort, but without forgetting the most important things: feeling comfortable, confident and fabulous. There is no strict dress code for Wimbledon, although smart-casual attire is recommended. And really, why would you want to dress down when it is the perfect excuse to dress up? If you are lucky enough to have tickets for the Royal Box, a smarter look would be expected. I always love looking out for the Princess of Wales during Wimbledon, she gets it right every time and is a wonderful source of classic summer style inspiration for me.

I love the simplicity of silver jewellery, it’s a modern and easy to wear style. And while I often lean towards gold, I still reach for silver regularly (and mix silver and gold too). Silver works on most skin tones, it’s all about pairing it with the right colours (navy, charcoal, white, black, or even a bright pop of colour like pink). I feel more pulled together when I add my jewellery and a lot of my basic everyday pieces are silver - like my ring and bracelets. I was recently been gifted three pieces of silver jewellery from John Garland Taylor Jewellery and they are exactly the kind of staples I love - simple and timeless, it's jewellery that suits my real, everyday life. In this post I’m sharing some spring outfits featuring a 3-piece silver jewellery capsule, along with a few useful tips on buying sterling silver, the importance of comfort (especially earrings), and how to keep silver looking its best. This is a gifted blog post and contains a 10% off discount code.  How I'm styling silver jewellery in midlife Spring always feels like a brand new chapter, the days get longer, the light changes, the sun rises higher, and it's time for a spring clean, a wardrobe detox and maybe a little style inspiration too? And this spring I’m taking a few style notes from Elinor Dashwood in Sense & Sensibility - quietly confident, timeless, and proof that simplicity works. I’m excited to let winter go and I've chosen a cream polka dot dress and a classic rafia handbag for a spring style post. It's an outfit Elinor would approve of (nothing fussy but still very wearable). And because the new season deserves a fresh start, my Kindle is coming with me on my outings, for in-between quiet moments, in a coffee shop, stealing ten minutes of calm in the sunshine, or just choosing to slow down with a cup of tea in my garden. Here's my spring style story ... what's yours? This blog post is sponsored by Very.  Styling my spring dress - I love this little 'secret' garden in Marlow! I've been selling my unwanted clothes and other household items on Vinted for a couple of years now so I am a fairly confident and successful Vinted seller. I like to keep my wardrobe clutter free and avoid too many 'nothing to wear' moments and if my wardrobe is overflowing with things I don't love then I get overwhelmed. I have tried to adopt (mostly) a one in one out policy and I keep a dedicated box handy - my 'sell on Vinted' box as well as another bag for 'donate to charity' items. I then upload a small batch and wait for them to sell. Some go really quickly, others I need to change the price or the description but the biggest tip - make sure your clothing is clean and freshly ironed then include good quality, clear photos. If you want my tips for how to sell on Vinted without the faff, then read on to learn exactly what works for me. You can find me on Vinted here, I am fifty_andfab.  I like to keep my wardrobe uncluttered and regularly sell on Vinted |
