Wearing Your Favorite Fabric: Fashion Over 50
Happy Sunday, ladies! I hope you’re having a great weekend. Mine has been very productive. We finally bit the bullet and bought a new couch yesterday. We got a screaming deal at an outlet, but more on that when we get it home and I can show pictures. Today I’m sharing my favorite fabric. Do you have one?
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of stretch in my clothes. Most of my woven fabrics have Lycra or spandex built right in. That ensures my clothes move with me, stretch when and where they need to and are comfortable.
Soft knits have long been my favorite for tops, pants, skirts and dresses. Their stretch helps them drape nicely and retain their shape. I prefer soft to stiff, drape over structure and ease over confining.
I mistakenly bought a pair of blue jeans without stretch this summer. They were so uncomfortable I donated them after my second wearing! Life’s too short to wear pants that bind and dig in!
Love the faux leather on your sleeves!
Thanks Jessica!
You look gorgeous in every single photo. If I had to pick my favorite…………I’d really be at a loss. They’re all wonderful.
Yes I like a bit of stretch, too. My jeans must have them for comfort and movement. Merino wool and cashmere tops for this time of year are my favorites.
Cheers, M-T
What did women do before jeans were made with stretch!!
I’ve bought 5 white blouses and all of them weren’t for me but THIS one at the top…looks perfect! I went to Jjill…which blouse is this?
This was their simple no iron tunic blouse. Very plain and straight. Chico’s make a very similar one.
Do you wash your jeans or have them dry cleaned? What looks best? Thank you.
I machine wash and dry my jeans, always!
Fabric does make such a difference…love all of your selections here!
