2010 Spring Fashion Trends for Women in Their 50's

Anne Wright
Many spring fashion trends in 2010 are ideal for women in their 50's who appreciate sensible dressing. Designers often respond to a bad economy with more practical creations. These are 5 spring styles at Neiman Marcus for women who are comfortable with their age.

2010 Spring Fashion Trends for Women in Their 50's: Nude Shoes

If you've always snatched up nude shoes whenever you could find them, you'll be happy to see them getting the attention they always deserved. They're versatile in completing outfits you could never find shoes for, and they're flattering in making legs look longer. The Fendi T-Strap Elastic Wedge looks quietly beautiful in visone cream. Elastic straps will keep your feet comfortable while the stylish 2 and 3/4 inch raffia wedge adds height without being too extreme. ($495)

2010 Spring Fashion Trends for Women in Their 50's: Blue

Blue is one of the most popular colors for spring styles this year. There's a shade that will look good on almost any woman. Plus, blue clothing and accessories won't look dated a few months from now.

2010 Spring Fashion Trends for Women in Their 50's: Feminine Draping

It pains me to say it, but draping may be deadly near your face unless you've invested in surgery to eliminate any folds of your own. Still, it can be a great look at a polite distance from your chin. This Etro Paisley V-Neck Top will bring back some memories of the 60's, and coordinate with all your black silk pants. ($470)

2010 Spring Fashion Trends for Women in Their 50's: Relaxed Pants

You won't look frumpy in relaxed pants if you balance them with close fitting tops and select lengths that show off slender ankles. The slouchiest spring styles may wind up looking disheveled instead of edgy on older women, but you still have plenty of great options. This Robert Rodriquez double-layer jumpsuit will have you dressed in a minute on busy mornings. Done in polyester in black with white underlay, this sleeveless jumpsuit features a scoop neck, racer back, cropped legs, and cinched waist. ($429)

2010 Spring Fashion Trends for Women in Their 50's: Tribal

Tribal patterns and detailing embellish many spring styles. Wearing them is more a matter of personality than age. If you're not a minimalist, relax in a Nicole Miller stretch silk tunic. It features a caftan neckline, half bell sleeves, and a multicolor abstract print. ($345)
