Today is my 50th birthday. I want to wear this ivory off-shoulder blouse but don’t know which bottoms to pair with it: gray ankle pants, black ankle pants, beige ankle pants, or black midi skirt. Vote for your favorite outfits in the comments!

Today I am showing you four outfits for an “evening out”, all of which involve the white off-shoulder blouse, all style loose with fitted…and all outfits are suitable for women over 40, women over 50, and women over 60.

Styling Loose with Fitted: These outfits pairings are all good examples of styling loose with fitted to create a balanced look. In other words, there is a general rule of fashion that, if you are wearing a loose-fitting blouse, a fitted pant or skirt should be paired with it to create balance. This combination creates a harmonious and visually appealing look that highlights the body’s silhouette while also allowing for comfort and ease of movement.

For example, pairing a flowy, oversized blouse with fitted pencil pants or a structured blazer with wide-leg trousers creates a balanced and flattering ensemble. This juxtaposition of loose and fitted pieces adds dimension and interest to an outfit, creating a stylish and modern aesthetic.

This is probably a good time to remind you that I am on Pinterest as well – click here and let’s connect!
