Now and then, it’s good to take a second look at something we wear all the time. Take jeans, for example. Have you fallen into the rut wearing the same type of top with your jeans over and over, or have you been wearing one style of jeans for the last five years?
If so, it’s time for an update, and what better place to find inspiration than from the 40+ fashionistas on Instagram. Here’s a look at some new ideas for how to wear jeans at 40, 50, and beyond.

Great post. I struggle with jeans being 5’2″ with short legs and Pear-shaped! Xx
