Flattering Striped Summer Dresses for Women over 50

The one dress you can always rely on to get you through the summer is a cute striped sundress. This ever-popular style is classic, sporty, and has a youthful, energetic vibe.

I always have at least a couple of striped dresses handy, whether going on vacation or just puttering around town doing errands.

Today, I’m sharing some of the best-striped summer dresses for gals our age that make summer dressing easy and comfy.

1.  Striped Wrap  Dress

Striped summer dresses come in a million-in-one styles, and one of the more interesting ones I’ve bought recently is this darling wrap midi.

Who doesn’t love a wrap dress, especially when it’s as comfy as a T-shirt? This darling striped summer dress with the front tie twist will whittle your midlife middle, and make you look svelte.

Add a cute pair of mules and a touch of jewelry to feel pretty and casually polished.

2. Striped Flutter Sleeve Striped Dress

Striped summer sundresses have been around forever, so designers are always looking for new ways to reinvent them. One way they’ve done that is by adding an interesting sleeve.

This pretty, ruffle-sleeve striped sundress has a slightly more feminine feel than most.

It’s a darling detail that doesn’t take away from the classic sheath style, but makes this dress stand out. It’s also great for covering up the top of your aging arms more than a sleeveless dress would.

You’ve got to love that red, too. It’s so cheery and fresh!

3.  Striped Shift Dress

A classic, stretchy shift dress is super comfy in summer. You just slip it over your head and go.

I love this Breton stripe sundress by Nautica because of its fabulous white trim at the hem and neckline. It’s such a nice detail that you don’t even need any jewelry.

Navy or black are classic for stripes, but this brighter blue feels more modern and a little playful. It’s such a great dress ( fits true to size) and is great quality, too. The perfect dress for when you head up to the lake!

4.  Knit Midi Dress

One trend I’ve noticed when it comes to striped summer dresses is that we are seeing a lot of knits.  This elegant striped knit dress is stretchy and bodycon without being tight.

The sexy slit and sweet bows give it a beautiful feminine touch. Pair it with gold sandals and a woven bag for a chic summer look.

5. Striped Maxi Dress

Here’s a fabulous look for the backyard or the boat! This sporty Amazon Essentials maxi with bold black and white stripes is summery and slimming.

Pair this easygoing T-shirt style with natural raffia accessories like this great tote. Add flat slides and a fab pair of sunglasses and get out in the sunshine.

6. Colorful Striped Sundress

Is it stripes, or is it colorblocking? This kind of falls in the middle, resulting in a fabulous striped summer dress that looks modern and full of energy.

I love the unique orange, red, white, and lavender combo; it’s such a creative color combo. I’m not sure if you can tell, but this tank-style striped dress is a knit, so it’s very stretchy and comfy, and I love that chic side slit that lets you flash a touch of leg at the beach or the bar.

7. Tan Striped Nautical Summer Dress

Striped sundresses are naturally nautical, but black, navy, or even red stripes can feel very same-old, same-old. That’s why I was drawn to this cute Nautica tan-striped sundress.

This dress has personality. Besides the color, I love the inverted triangle shape of this comfy shift dress. The two-way stripes add a fun, modern touch, and that rope belt is adorable.

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this dress lately. It feels fresh, new, and perky.

8. Polo Style Striped Dress

Polo-style tops have been super popular lately, so why not a dress? Instead of a striped T-shirt dress, I decided to try a striped Polo-Shirt Dress. ( Also comes in 3 other colors)

Talk about sporty with those big chunky stripes and the button-down collar. I have so many gals asking me what kind of summer dresses to wear with sneakers; you can see this one is perfect.

This is a midi length for all my mature ladies who prefer more coverage than a typical short, striped sundress can offer.

9. Striped Drawstring Dress with White Denim Jacket

Are you feeling a little heavy or bloated? This is the perfect striped summer dress to hide a belly. It’s a relaxed, striped crew neck T-shirt dress with an adjustable drawstring waist.

Tighten or loosen the drawstring depending on how you feel or want to hike the hemline up or down. It’s one of my favorite summer dresses because it is so practical and always looks good.

I love to throw a denim jacket on top to give it a cool, layered look. Pop the collar, and you are good to go!

10.  Striped Drawstring Waist T-Shirt Dress

Here’s that same striped T-shirt dress with the drawstring waist, but in navy and white. No wonder it is a bestseller on Amazon. I own two!

Did I mention that this T-shirt sundress is also super soft and easy to pack? I love wearing sightseeing when I travel.

This dress would be great for boating or other summer activities, when you don’t want to wear shorts or pants. Easy, breezy, nautical, and cute!

Do you have a striped summer dress? They’re a game changer  at any age- a summer wardrobe essential!
