Cute and Casual Spring Outfits for Women Over 40

This post is all about spring outfits for women over 40!

As a woman who just turned 40, I know how hard it can be to choose “age-appropriate” outfits. While I don’t believe there are any steadfast rules to what women 40 and over should wear, I do know how to put together some looks that will get you the respect you deserve, in general and regarding style!

I’ll be the first to admit I often choose outfits for myself that represent women of younger generations. You should always wear what you love and what you feel good and confident in. With that being said, as a woman over 40, I do feel pressure to choose more polished and sophisticated looks. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t sometimes choose pieces that are trending with women in their 20s, such as cropped tee and baggy jeans.

Sometimes, I still like to dress like this 😄 and that’s okay!

Spring Outfits for Women

I am a huge fan of H&M. Their clothes are of solid quality, are always stylish, and fit me well. Plus, they are always working towards sustainability. I found all three of these spring outfits at H&M.

Bonus: You will most likely want to keep all of these pieces in your wardrobe for a very long time, because they are versatile, classic, and far from boring.

1. Fun and Flirty Spring Outfit with a Floral Dress

Perfect for brunch, work, bridal and baby showers, Mother’s Day, and more, this cute look is one of my favorite women’s spring outfit ideas.

The tie-belt floral dress has a flattering silhouette, with its A-line cut and pleated front. You can wear it with or without the white blazer, depending on the weather and the occasion.

2. Business Casual Outfit with Jeans and a Trench Coat

You can go just about anywhere in this polished, classically modern spring outfit. Something about it gives me old Hollywood vibes, and I am of course loving that!

If you don’t have a good trench coat in your wardrobe yet, you should! It is a wardrobe staple, especially for spring. Trench coats pair well with jeans, midi dresses and skirts, and pretty much any type of shoe.

And you always need a good black camisole (or 5) to throw under sweaters. (You could also wear them alone if you’re heading for happy hour after casual day at work. Simply leave the cardigan in your car or tote or drape it over your shoulders for a sophisticated look.)

These suede loafers look so polished and modern… total fashionista vibes! Continue the style boss trend with a chain-link shoulder bag and statement sunglasses.

3. Casual Spring Outfit with a Graphic Sweatshirt

I personally have this sweatshirt and LOVE it. (It’s selling quickly.) You really can’t go wrong with any sweatshirt from H&M because they are so soft! Plus, they are always adding more styles.

You always need a crisp, white pair of sneakers for spring. And they look fabulous against straight-leg jeans. For this look, tuck at least part of the front (and maybe part of the back) into your high-rise jeans to accentuate your shape.
