Sometimes, we just need to be reminded that we do have clothes. Most of us actually have more clothes than we wear or need.
Nothing to wear really means I have nothing I feel like wearing right now. It means that you are bored/uninspired/overwhelmed by your wardrobe.

If you have basics/staples/essentials (interchangeable words for the same thing, in my mind), then you always have something to wear.
The only thing you’re missing is inspiration.
And I’ve got plenty of it for you right here. Each of these outfits is built around wardrobe essentials you already have, and finished with chic and thoughtful accessories to create looks that are polished and pretty yet effortless enough for everyday.
(If you haven’t yet invested in the basics/staples/essentials, all of which are readily available for every budget/size/lifestyle, then you’ll want to start here.)
So here, 50 easy, everyday outfit ideas to inspire you to work with your own wardrobe and wear your clothes in fresh and fun new ways.
Outfits with Denim
Start with a simple pair of jeans, and the possibilities are endless, as you’ll see in this first (and largest) grouping of outfits. Sure, the jeans need to fit well and be flattering, but once you have that box checked, you can recreate any of the stylish looks shown here.

Thank you SO much Karen! That means a lot to me! I am so happy you found this helpful. We often have all of the items but just need a few ideas. :)
Karen FERGUSON says
Thank you as always Nada for the time and effort you put into sharing all these ideas with us. Like as already been said, it’s great that you used photos to illustrate these combinations. I can use these to ‘shop’ my own wardrobe/closet.

Nada Manley says
Thanks for the comment! For these videos, I’m looking strictly at the outfits that I find wearable and flattering, and not at the women wearing them. Sadly there are far fewer women over 70 posting outfit pics online, although that is changing!

Wish you had more ideas for women with white/gray hair over 70
