My mom, who’s over 50, always complains to me that she has a hard time getting dressed in the summer because she doesn’t like to show her legs. She wears a lot of white-jean outfits and maxi-dress ensembles, but is quick to get bored with both. All that to say, I’ve been thinking of an alternative for her that offers good coverage, is warm-weather-friendly, and still polished, and this week, Jennifer Lopez just reminded me of one of the chicest items that checks all the boxes.
Skipping dresses and pants entirely, J.Lo stepped out for Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour in L.A. in an elegant summer look. Her outfit began with a cropped white long-sleeve blouse with billowy sleeves, which she styled with ivory high-waisted Bermuda shorts and a very thin belt. To finish the look, the singer and actress added a pair of sleek, pointed-toe PVC heels. For accessories, she chose oversize aviator sunglasses and a gorgeous Hermès Kelly bag.
Bermuda shorts are nothing new, but they’re dominating right now as a sought-after summer staple. Everyone from celebrities like Sadie Sink and Alexa Chung to It girls in NYC is donning a pair. While they can and are being styled in a myriad of ways, J.Lo makes a case for how women over 50 should style them, and we’re here for it.
The PVC heels are not only a more sophisticated and mature option than sneakers or flats, but their sharp, streamlined silhouette also elongates the legs and balances the bagginess of the shorts.
