People often ask me where I get my fashion inspiration. I subscribe to InStyle Magazine, and I love to peruse Pinterest for ideas, but my favorite place to get practical, wearable fashion inspiration is from the other over-40 fashion bloggers that I’ve befriended in recent years.
I figure if I like these blogs, you will probably like these blogs, so I decided to make a list of my favorite over-40 fashion bloggers. These are women who I think have great style and know how to make the current trends work in a way that is practical and age appropriate for regular women like you and me! I hope you find some fresh style inspiration here.
My Favorite Over-40 Fashion Blogs
Grace + Beauty: Cyndi Spivey is a pastor’s wife and mom of two grown children who lives in Kentucky. She started her style blog at the encouragement of her mother, to whom she dedicates her work. We met at a blogging conference several years ago, and we’ve been friends ever since. We share a similar style aesthetic and our faith in Christ. Cyndi share tips on fashion, makeup, and beauty for women over 40, as well as reminders that true beauty begins on the inside.
Mom Trends: Nicole Feliciano is a former Ralph Lauren exec who is always up on the latest trends, and she is one of my go-to style gurus as well as a friend and colleague. Momtrends is packed with fashion tips and trend reports aimed to help busy, style-starved women keep in touch with what’s hip and cool.
Get Your Pretty On: Alison Lumbatis is a stylist, life coach, and mom of three living in Texas. She started Get Your Pretty On in an effort to get out of her style rut, and now her goal is provide other women in a similar predicament with the inspiration, tools, and support to do the same.
Fabulous After 40: Deborah Boland is a former executive TV producer/host who started Fabulous After 40 after she found herself feeling frustrated trying to look stylish after 40. Her site caters to hip, mature women who want to look chic and fabulous, and she has great advice for women in their 40s, 50s and 60s.
Mama In Heels: Janise is a wife and mom who has always loved fashion and bargain shopping, and her site is about how she stays fashionable and healthy as she raises her twin boys. I discovered her blog through the Beauty Buzz linkup that is now extinct, and I love her chic, sophisticated style aesthetic.
Simply Lulu Style: Lulu is a local-to-me fashion blogger who I cannot believe I’ve never met. (We need to fix that!) I love her cool, casual vibe. She started her site to showcase the jewelry she was creating and then discovered that she liked creating outfits more than jewelry. She is another twin mom, and she loves good food almost as much as fashion.
My Rose Colored Shades: Cynthia is a wife and mom who writes about about discovering, recognizing, and appreciating the simple pleasures in life. I was first drawn to her site for her gorgeous colorful backgrounds, and I continue to be inspired by her creative outfit combinations as well as her food photography and the way she openly shares her faith.
Style Nudge: Cherie is a stylist and mother of 4 who loves to collect unique things. Her style is an eclectic mix of old and new, and she encourages women to try new ideas, play with their clothes, take style risks, and find their own style. She’s just the woman to give you the “nudge” to do that.
Mrs. American Made: After moving to Boulder, CO a few years ago, Ana Bogusky made a commitment to wearing more “Made in USA” outfits. She loves clothing and accessories, and making outfits is one of her favorite pastimes, so her website was born. I love Ana’s classic style and her focus on wearable fashion.
I hope you’ve found some fun new blogs to follow! If you have a favorite over-40 fashion blog, feel free to share in the comments.

Thank you so much for featuring me in your blog, Jo-Lynne! I’m flattered to be considered one of your favorite style bloggers and I appreciate the company you put me in.

Hi Jo-Lynne. This has been so good for me as I recently turned 40 and need to start getting to know other 0ver 40 bloggers. Some of the above I already know but I’ve found some new ones too which is great. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much for including me in the wonderful group of stylish ladies! Most of these I follow and love as well, but I am excited to check out the few I was not yet familiar with. : ) Ana

Been a fan of Fashion Over 40 for quite some time. We are a mother-daughter team designing handcrafted beaded jewelry and have been blogging weekly for over a year. Mostly our readers seem to love the way we weave our jewelry into relevant diversified content and are happy that we recently expanded into the realm of fashion. So excited to see this list of fashion bloggers and looking forward to getting acquainted with them.
Thanks so much for the feature! I feel honored to be on your favorites list especially since I’m a huge fan of your blog. And I know almost all of these other amazing bloggers and I enjoy them as well. Yay for over-40 bloggers!
Do you have any suggestions for “fashion over 30” blogs? I’m 32, and I haven’t found any fashion blogs (other than yours) that I really like!
Here’s a whole list! http://theaveragegirlsguide.com/2015/02/stylish-bloggers-30-worth-following/
Maybe you’ll find some fun new blogs to follow in there. 🙂
Thanks! These are great. I found some I like already!
YAY! I love hearing that!
What a wonderful roundup. I follow a few but it is always nice to find other over 40+ bloggers like myself! Style truly does come with age!
Thank you so much for this list. I haven’t felt this great about fashion since those two toned purple pin stripe Nikes many years ago
Hi JoLynne,
Somehow I missed this when it first appeared. Thanks so much for including me in the list. I’m honoured! I love your blog too and was so happy to profile you as one of my Fabulous After 40 Styleblazers! Cheers, Deborah
Thanks for this article. I was finding it hard to find more blogs by over forty persons
There are a few familiar faces here, and some lovely new blogs to start reading! Thank you for sharing and showing that, just because we are ‘over’40 bloggers’ it doesn’t mean that we can’t have a fresh approach to fashion and lifestyle.
I’m also thrilled that a chunk of the blogs you have listed are not sticking to the ‘age appropriate’ route – don’t you just hate those two words! It’s brilliant to see so many of us celebrating our style in a unique and personal way.
Way to go the over 40 blogger!
Michelle 🙂
I love this list. I am familiar and following several. But, there are a few new to me. 🙂 I’m going to subscribe to support your blog. I’m a Christ-follower too. 🙂
Hi Teri. I just clicked over to your blog! Another fashion over 40 maven! I’m so glad to meet you. 🙂
Awwwh thanks for visiting. I’m still such a newbie -taking like one day at a time and blogging the journey. ????. I humbled by your visit.
Have a great weekend!
Hi I am 40+ asian and enjoy so much to share the fashion ideas in your blog, also your friendly bloggers. Its great to encourage ladies nowadays to wear chic.
Thanks for the inspiration – these are all great. You could also check out some great UK blogs run by us over 40’s such as Does my bum look 40 in this, Schoolgate style, The Flaky Fashionista, Style at Every Age, the Online Stylist
Thanks for the suggestions! 🙂
I am over 40 and have a style blog. I love your blog and am always trying to find new over 40 blogs. Mine is diyglamour.com
Hi Jo-Lynne!
This is a great list – thanks for posting! My friend and I started a blog this year for women over 40 – we post about nearly all things related to fashion, cosmetics, cocktails, healthy eats, books, and parenting teens. If you get a chance take a look at our blog http://www.nearlyallthings.com and let us know what you think! Thanks so much!
Libby
Great suggestions!
Great list and I definitely found some new blogs to check out. I loved seeing some new blogs and fresh faces. Here’s an update for the post for ‘Fashion Over 40’ in 2020: https://glamourandgainsbyeve.com
I love both a good sale and designer pieces and link wherever I can throughout my blog via LikeToKnow.it. Don’t think you have to dress age appropriately; wear what you like, what makes you feel good, is occasion appropriate and have fun with it!
