Not Blue Jeans—The Chicest Over 50s are Elevating Blouses With This Non-Boring Denim Trend
Khaki jeans are trending—here’s how the chicest over 50s are wearing them now.
This summer, I’m moving away from classic blue jeans in favour of a more interesting denim trend. Khaki jeans have been cropping up everywhere recently, and this week Cindy Crawford made a strong case for the versatile neutral.
Wearing a dark khaki pair, Crawford styled the trending jeans with a pretty white blouse and suede heeled sandals for a look that felt simple, elegant and easy to wear. The softer tone of the denim gave the outfit a more elevated feel than classic blue jeans, while still keeping it relaxed enough for daytime styling.
It’s also an especially practical option for summer. While blue jeans can sometimes feel overly casual and black denim can look too heavy in warmer weather, khaki jeans sit comfortably in between. Neutral, versatile and easy to style, they work just as well during the day as they do for evening plans.
Keeping to a palette of earthy neutrals, Crawford finished the outfit with a beige tote bag and a white leather jacket, pulling together a timeless look that won’t quickly date.
If your denim rotation is feeling a little too blue-heavy right now, consider this your sign to try khaki jeans this season.
