Summer Outfits for Women Over the Age of 40 – 2025

Fashion doesn’t turn 40—and amen to that, indeed. And so it turns out, women’s summer fashion over 40 – 2025 are really some of the most stylish, expressive, and effortlessly elegant looks of the season. So how do you stay cool and not work too hard at it? Where is the tipping point between cool and overkill? And what style trends actually do work when you’re in your middle age and want your closet to reflect your life?

I’ve pulled together real looks that walk the walk. We’re diving into thoughtfully layered linen, playful proportions, and silhouettes that flatter everything from mid curves to tall frames. Let’s break down what works—and why.

Classic Black with a Twist

This monochrome outfit is a masterclass in minimalism with attitude. A charcoal grey shirt is styled in that perfectly undone way—sleeves nonchalantly rolled, front tied just above the waist. Paired with a floor-sweeping long black flowy skirt, the ensemble is tasteful in balance between comfort and grace. Black leather satchel offers the structural piece while flat sandals make it earthy. The look is ideal for middle-aged women who desire both beauty and practicality. It is appropriate for most body shapes, but women with a larger bust can forgo the front tie. This would be perfect for relaxed lunch dates, museum walks, or even a concert with a light rooftop atmosphere.

• Shirt: The oversized button-down in washed grey is light but refined—wear it open over a tank or tied like this for discreet waist definition.
• Skirt: The A-line movement and light texture give it flow and airiness—ideal for hot days that demand drama.
• Sandals: Comfortable, classic, and just polished enough for city sidewalks or summer events.
• Bag: A structured mini-satchel adds just the right amount of contrast to the loose silhouette.

I’d keep accessories minimal here—maybe add a delicate necklace or a bold lip. What I’d skip? Heels. They’d throw off the relaxed elegance. This outfit is about owning your stride.

Pop of Red with a Statement Bag

A blaze of tomato-red top with just the right volume in the sleeves infuses a relaxed look with life. Piled with a fringe bag and paired with frayed high-waist jeans, this outfit is both polished and playful. Leopard print loafers? Unexpected, bold, and absolutely brilliant. It’s a look that’s a wink to fashion more than 50 years ago—vibrant, spirited, but not overdoing it. This combination is complimentary on most figures, but petite women can replace the wide-leg jeans with a cropped pair. Think farmers’ market, brunch on the weekends, or even a guest middle party where you’re not dressing up but still wish to make an entrance.

• Top: A fitted but light top, the V-neck shape gives definition while the bright red bellows summer energy.
• Jeans: Relaxed fit with some flare—versatile and timeless.
• Bag: Boho chic meets high-end. The fringe provides texture and the neutral colors ground the bright top.
• Shoes: Leopard loafers provide an edge, grounding the outfit in style confidence.

If I were to take this up a notch, I’d add oversized hoops or a printed scarf wrapped around the bag. What not to do? Throw a cardigan over it—you’ll lose that crisp, cropped silhouette on top.

Cool-Girl Elevator Selfie

Alright, this one has serious early 30s written all over it—in the best possible way. The pleated wide-leg khakis are so polished yet relaxed, and the slouchy grey top pulled in just so shows you’re a master of proportions. The chunky belt grounds the neutral color palette, and dark sunnies put the finishing touches on with subtle edge. It’s a silhouette that works best on straighter or hourglass shapes, and it’s super “editor off duty.” Perfect for office casual Fridays or strolling art galleries. Understated, sure, but never boring.

• T-shirt: Intentionally loose, but the tuck keeps it tidy and current.
• Trousers: Pleated design brings the laid-back khaki to a stylish and sophisticated level.
• Accessories: A statement cuff and chunky cuff bring intention to this look—like it was assembled, not thrown together.
• Sunglasses: Black lenses with a simple design that contributes just the right attitude.

Need a little something more? A pop-color bag or fresh white kicks would do the job. Forego a blazer—it would over-dress the whole thing and make it corporate.

Streamlined and All Black

This outfit is oozing quiet luxury. Black-on-black with contrast of texture—satin on top, matte maxi on bottom—is luxe and deliberate. Add in oversized frames, sculpted earrings, and those dramatic white stilettos? Hello, sophisticated style. It’s a great option for the 50 or even 60 crowd who want elegance without sacrificing it. The column skirt is slimming on more angular shapes or voluptuous hourglass shapes, although the overall dark hue can be brightened with a splash of color if needed. It’s totally dinner-party-suitable or could also double as a concert look if the occasion demands sleek.

• Top: Unobtrusive shine, relaxed sleeves, V-neckline—all the right elements for cool comfort.
• Skirt: High-waisted and hugging the curves, the clean tailoring is mindlessly flattering.
• Shoes: White pumps slice through the black and provide the graphic zing to the outfit.
• Bag & Jewelry: That reflective sphere clutch? Wow. The chunky bracelets cement the luxe factor.

This is a gorgeous look. But if you want a daytime version? Swap the clutch for a structured tote and the pumps for strappy flats. Don’t touch the earrings—they’re perfect.

Blue on Blue Done Right

Chambray on jeans isn’t novel—but this cut is new and beachy. A light blue button-down top tucked into mid-wash jeans with a braided brown belt is relaxed cohesion. It’s topped off with a denim-finish tote bag and tan lace-up sandals that are bohemian but calculated. This is a becoming look for most women of middle age and ideal for travel, errands, or outdoor lunch. The coordinating hues provide length, and the accessories prevent it from being dull.

• Shirt: Fresh and crisp, loose but not sloppy.
• Jeans: The cropped cut and frayed hem proclaim weekend without trying too hard.
• Belt: A neat texture break in a blue ocean—this small detail is what it’s all about.
• Shoes: Tan lace-up loafers give shape and summer flair.
• Bag: Blue match, textured, roomy—a form and function win.

You can easily throw on a light trench or throw a headscarf over your head. Just don’t overdo the jewelry—let the denim layers tell the story.

Lemon and Stripes

A pleated lemon skirt? Oui, s’il vous plaît. This sunny yellow maxi is sunshine in a dress and worn with a nautical striped blouse that’s classic yet playful. It’s a look that will flatter tall or long-waisted women and has a carefree French-girl-on-holiday feel. This could be worn effortlessly to a summer music festival, a dinner party, or a garden wedding. It could overwhelm a petite woman, but with adjustments to the proportions, it’s a total success.

• Top: Horizontal stripes provide shape and balance the fullness of the skirt.
• Skirt: That volume! That color! Its movement and mood in one.
• Jewelry: Understated gold makes it chic, not busy.
• Hair & Makeup: Simple, clean, and elegant—fuss-free required.

You can add a raffia bag or red lip to dress it up. What not to do? Add clunky shoes. Keep it light and airy head to toe.

Easy Neutrals with a Twist

If you’re craving minimalism that doesn’t skimp on style, this one’s for you. A black button-up with wide sleeves and cropped beige trousers creates balance, especially when paired with an earth-toned straw hat and simple slides. The loosely structured silhouette feels thoughtful—not lazy—and it’s a strong choice for fashion over 50 casual lovers. This outfit is versatile, suited to all shapes, and absolutely ideal for beachside lunches, local markets, or mid day getaways.

• Top: Black, oversized, but with tailoring that makes it sleek.
• Pants: Soft beige, cuffed at the ankle—perfect for showing off shoes or sandals.
• Accessories: The straw tote and hat combo screams vacation mode.
• Shoes: Comfortable yet stylish—simple black sandals that can be worn anywhere.

To push this up a notch? Add bold earrings or red lipstick. Skip the necklace—it would get lost in the neckline.

City Chic with an Asymmetrical Twist

This look is city-strolling perfection. The off-the-shoulder white top with gathered neck is sexy yet sophisticated, ideal for confident middle-aged women who want to bare some flesh without losing glamour. It’s paired with a high-waisted beige midi skirt with fabric belt that cinches in the waist without being restrictive. The straw crossbody with heft and metallic flat sandals finish off the look with boho chic. Perfect for those with narrower shoulders or toned arms, this look might not be as flattering for broad-shoulder types. Perfect for summer vacationing, summer art crawls, or a romantic dinner at a quaint bistro.

• Top: One-shoulder silhouette in elegant ruffles—elegant, light, and fashionably surprising.
• Skirt: Lightweight, natural-fiber midi keeps the color palette earthy and the fit flexible with a self-tie waist.
• Bag: Straw weave softens the whole outfit and screams summer without being cliché.
• Shoes: Flat gold slides are functional but elevate the neutral tones with just enough shimmer.
• Accessories: Bold tortoiseshell sunnies and earthy jewelry offer mature glamor.

I’d add a cuff bracelet or woven bangles to emphasize the arm line. Avoid chunky necklaces—they’d fight with the neckline and crowd the asymmetry.

Neutral Blazer Energy

Blending fashion with over 50 relaxed styles and composition, this outfit is perfection by definition. A sharp black blazer over a silky white t-shirt with high-waist beige pants held together by a ribbon belt. It’s the kind of intelligent-casual that transitions from client coffee meetings to rooftop spritz hour. Most appealing on hourglass or rectangular body shapes, it’s suitable across the board and does everything from guest middle parties to weekend museum dates. It’s fresh, bold, and timeless.

• Blazer: Sleek, wrist-length, and sharp enough to dress up any tank or tee.
• T-shirt: Fresh white, just oversized enough to remain relaxed but tidy under the blazer.
• Trousers: Soft pleats, natural beige, and cropped slightly—ideal for sneakers or flats.
• Sneakers: White with black stripes—a stylish tip of the hat to early 30s street style that’s ageless.
• Bag: Sleek taupe structured mini tote adds polish and a feminine touch.

To push this to evening? Swap out the sneakers for strappy mules and finish with gold earrings. Sorry, full face makeup—it’s just not that sort of look.

Cool Utility with a Luxe Twist

Here’s how to do utility fashion without tipping into safari costume. This beige vest provides structure and an air of roughness to a simple white shirt knotted at the waist. Paired with beige chunky sneakers and white cropped pants, the whole outfit is luxe casual. Ideal for the 50+ woman who craves comfort and stylishness in equal measure. It’s practical for travel, city striding, or patio brunch. The neutrals are light and fresh, and the silhouette flatters mid to tall frames especially well.

• Vest: Light, functional pockets and zip accents make it functional and stylish.
• Shirt: White button-down wrapped around waist adds definition and relaxed style.
• Trousers: Wide cropped legs that are perfect for airflow—perfect for hot weather.
• Shoes: Creamy athletic sneakers add sportiness without losing style.
• Bag: Classic designer tote in a check pattern—luxury that doesn’t scream.

You could finish this off with large gold earrings. What not to do? Any other outer garment—this is a warm weather outfit from head to toe.

Easy Black and White Everyday

A master class in monochromatic chic, this outfit yells effortless sophistication. A simple white T-shirt paired with black high-waisted pants is basic, yet refined and a crowd-pleaser. The long black beaded necklace gives it depth without suffocating the look, and the straw tote adds an edge of holiday feel. A middle-aged woman in her 60s just needs to be put together easily, and that’s this ensemble. Take it anywhere—malls, lunch, or a concert in the park.

• T-shirt: Clean, fresh, and fitted but not so much as to emphasize the waist.
• Pants: Slimmer and high-waisted, they stretch the legs and create definition.
• Necklace: Long black beads draw the eye downwards and add some beat to the low-key color palette.
• Bag: Structured and straw, it keeps the look from going too bleak.
• Sandals: Black textured slides add just a touch of flair.

I’d finish it off with a statement lip color or chic shades if you want to take it up a notch. What not to do? Add color through the clothing—it’ll break the clean contrast.

Barbiecore Goes Grown-Up

Nothing subtle here—and that’s exactly the point. This look is confidence in pastel-hued cotton-candy colors. A pink striped button-down tied at the waist is paired with a full pink midi skirt for maximum drama. White pumps and bubblegum pink shoulder bag complete the daydream of high fashion. Taller women or those with waistlines will suit this best, but it is not shy dresser stuff. Great for a middle party guest, brunch fashion, or whenever you want to make eyes in the best possible manner.

• Top: Pastel stripes, fitted, and retro through the knot tie and gold chain necklace.
• Skirt: Full, flared, and unequivocally feminine—an A-line dream for any bold fashionista.
• Bag: Pink-on-pink is finicky, but this molded bag with a heart detail does it play.
• Shoes: Pointed white pumps provide graphic punch and evoke that ’50s glamour.

I wouldn’t add anything more—this look’s already belting. The only no? Flats. They’ll destroy the retro-glam proportion.

Casual in Black and Blue

Clean, uncomplicated, and so relaxed. A black sleeveless blouse with loose blue jeans and a black straw tote is an appearance that’s relaxed but considerate. Perfect for the weekends, errands, or lounging around, particularly for fashion over 50 casual fashion collections. The cuffed jeans and relaxed fit fit almost every body shape, and the bamboo handle on the bag gives that natural summer vibe.

• Top: Sleeveless and loose with a demure V-neck—it’s heat-resistant and chic.
• Jeans: Light wash and straight-leg, cuffed for a touch of styling trickery.
• Bag: Black straw with bamboo handles adds texture and attitude to the outfit.
• Accessories: Bare minimum, allowing the shapes and materials to speak for themselves.

You might easily add bold earrings or red lipstick for added drama. Don’t toss on a cardigan—it’ll mess up the clean lines.

Relaxed Linen with a Pop

This is a balanced look. A close-fitting white top and loose olive-green linen pants create shape and looseness, then mustard yellow scarf gives that burst of sunny color. Patterned sneakers and a slouchy black tote bag keep it grounded. It’s ideal for women of 40 or 60 who don’t need to compromise on mid comfort but aren’t going to give up style. For museum dates to easy airport chic, it’s an outfit that can travel everywhere.

• Top: Fitted, clean, and functional—it’s a nice fit without bulging.
• Pants: Olive green wide-legged linen for drama and comfort.
• Scarf: The outfit’s showstopper—sunny, fringed, and draped beautifully.
• Sneakers: Patterned and playful, adding personality without noise.
• Bag: Slouchy, black, and chic—great for errands or light travel.

I’d swap in gold hoops if you’d like to dress it up. The one thing I’d leave out? Chunky cardigans—it’s already got the soft-drape moment with the scarf.

White Vest Power Chic

This all-white outfit is sharp, clean, and irrepressibly dominant. A sleeveless button-down vest topped over wide-leg trousers is the very essence of clean warm-weather fashion. Perfect for a woman in her 50s or 60s who loves minimalist sophistication with a confident twist. Perfect for business brunch, resort lounges, or wherever you want to command power effortlessly.

• White sleeveless vest: Formed but fluid, with sharp tailoring that never intrudes on freedom. The button detail adds interest to an otherwise monochromatic garment.
• Wide-leg trousers: The high-rise cut and loose leg shape make for a long, lean line. Good for taller bodies or those who want to elongate the body.
• Accessories: Black sunglasses and pulled-back hair give this an architectural feel. Subtle, but not forgettable.

I’d add a bold metallic cuff or minimalist clutch for extra polish. A bold necklace would be too much—this look thrives on its simplicity.

Nautical Vibes with a Pop

This is proof that women’s summer fashion at 40 – 2025 can totally involve youthful, playful spirit. A classic red-and-white stripey top over a denim jacket and with crisp white pants—to complete with bright red sneakers. It is weekend casuals, beach boardwalk, or even a relaxed concert fashion.

• Striped shirt: Nautical and retro, but modern fit makes it fresh. Neatly tucked up.
• Denim jacket: Hugging the body with a touch of fade for instant cool.
• White pants: Comfort with rolled bottoms to show off the kicks.
• Red sneakers: Making a statement while tying the color scheme together.

Throw on a soft red lip or playful nail color to match the sneakers. Don’t overdo it with the layers—this is a summer champion designed to breathe.

Elegant with a Utilitarian Twist

A relaxed navy blouse goes with loose-fitting white pants in this low-key luxe outfit that is as close to being tailored as it has to be without completely sacrificing breathability. Ideal go-to for middle-aged ladies who love comfort without compromise. Ideal for strolls around the city or even business trips that are not too stuffy.

• Navy button-down shirt: Slightly loose, it frames the clean-cut lines of the pants with rich depth.
• White pants: Cropped and wide-legged, the raw hem adds the right amount of edge.
• Accessories: Leather strap sandals, mixed silver bangles, and a neutral pack make this perfect for fashionista on-the-go.

I’d throw in a red lip or structured tote if you’re going to meet with clients. Avoid bright prints—this look relies on its calming contrast.

Tough Shirt + Relaxed Slouch

This is that flawless styled undone look. A white shirt wrapped at the waist in olive green joggers offers equal amounts of sophistication and ease. It’s ultimate fashion over 50 casual, finding a nice balance between softness and shape. Ideal for travel days, casual events, or errands with a finished look.

• White button-up top: Crisp but casual owing to the tie at the front. Rolled arms make it weightless.
• Olive joggers: A paperbag waist and oversized patch pockets are both practical and stylish.
• Accessories: Understated jewellery, caramel-colored slides, and a large Louis Vuitton bag top off the look easily.

Swap the slides for sneakers to make it more walk-friendly. Don’t add prints—this one nails casual-luxe minimalism.

Denim Drama with Shine

High basics raised. A waisted denim shirt and cream-wide leg trousers look fabulous. Pearls and reflective hues add that playful glamour, ideal for women in their 40s or late early 30s creeping into fashion-forward territories. Ideal for gallery nights or style-forward days.

• Denim shirt: Softly oversized and gentle, beautifully knotted to form a shape.
• Cream trousers: Floppy and wide, they transform the denim streamlined.
• Accessories: Layered pearls, metallic handbag, and loafers in silver add shine without overdoing it.

I would recommend keeping makeup understated—perhaps dewy skin texture and light lip gloss. Do not include a belt, as that would break the line.

Timeless White and Gray Tailoring

Nothing is more timeless than a white shirt and gray pants—and this look illustrates why. It’s a highly elegant take on style that is appropriate for any age but especially shines on mid to 60-year-old women who love elegant basics. This would flow from a fashion conference to a rooftop supper effortlessly.

• White shirt: Tailored and a little loose with effortless rolled sleeves.
• Gray trousers: The wide-leg tailored cut provides structure and movement. Perfect for lengthening the legs.
• Accessories: A high-end shoulder bag with a gold chain elevates the whole look. Black sunglasses complete the look.

Add a silk scarf that drapes into the bag for a pop of color. Avoid print pants—this look is all about clean elegance.

All-Black Polished Cool

Streamlined and minimalist, this all-black ensemble depends on fit and finish to make an impression. A tucked-in polo shirt belted into wide-leg pants makes for a clean but powerful silhouette. Perfect for summer dressing for women over the age of 40 – 2025 who are drawn to powerful minimalism.

• Black polo shirt: Fitted and sporty, it brings structured chic to the mix.
• Wide-leg trousers: The belt adds definition to the waist without overcomplicating the look.
• Accessories: A classic black shoulder bag and Ray-Ban-style sunglasses add that iconic cool.

This look could handle a red lip or polished bun for even more edge. I’d skip anything oversized or too loud—it’s all about strong lines and simplicity.

Elegant Statement in Earthy Volume

There’s something absolutely magnetic about this look. The white structured top with deep V neckline and oversized buttons is stunning paired with a puffy cinnamon-colored skirt. Effortlessly classy, it’s confidence-inspiring and ideal for any middle-aged woman who wants to be noticed for her style. The shape looks especially great on pear-shaped or rectangular women, as the full skirt creates a beautiful movement while balancing out the shoulders. This look is totally ideal for garden parties, gallery visits, or a summer night out at the concert hall.

• The crisp white top gives shape and sophistication; its fitted silhouette gives youthful energy without being too aggressive.
• The flowy skirt adds drama, but the earthy color keeps it casual and in season.
• The addition of accessories like the woven tote, dramatic pearl necklace, and tortoiseshell frames brings the outfit up to a considered point.

I wouldn’t change a thing except perhaps for the addition of a soft shawl for cooler nights. What shouldn’t it include? Anything that is too trendy or flashy – it would shatter the refinement of this elegant look.

Soft Blue City Chic

This is one of fashion over 50 casual pieces that gets the balance of comfort and shine exactly right. An oversized loose chambray top over ankle-high grey trousers is both comfortable and sophisticated. It’s a silhouette that suits most figures but particularly suits women with fuller hips or softer middles due to the forgiving top layer. It’s the perfect city-break uniform for women aged 50 or 60 and is perfect for walking, museum visits, or a bit of lunch with friends.

• The casual button-down shirt is dressed up with a casual sleeve roll and side slits that keep it light and airy.
• Grey skinny pants create definition and contrast, grounding the loose top.
• Metallic ballet flats and show-stopping pendant jewelry add subtle glamour, and the taupe handbag complements the restrained color palette.

I might add a straw hat with a wide brim for sun protection or a bright lip for a splash of color. But don’t trade the pants for shorts – the look now is mature, cool, and streamlined.

Neutral Layers with Modern Energy

This is a wishful thinking for anyone seeking an upgraded version of mid summer dressing. The beige vest over the classic white tee and crisp white jeans is clever, new, and totally minimalist. And the beauty of it is that it is versatile – suitable for a woman in her 40s, 50s, or even early 30s who values a classy version of casual. Whether you’re heading out for a Saturday brunch or playing chic guest mid at a chill party, this look works.

• The beige vest adds depth and sophistication to what is otherwise a relaxed look.
• White skinny jeans are crisp and flattering, which elongates the legs.
• A structured nude bag and textured belt pull the whole thing together, which creates a rich, tonal look.

It would be fun to experiment with a neck scarf or statement earrings to give it a pop. But I’d avoid printed shirts under the vest; the solid pieces are what give the look its shine.

Boho Linen Confidence

Laid-back but statement-worthy, this look is the epitome of smart-bohemian style for middle aged summer fashion. The sleeveless taupe blouse is paired with billowy white linen pants and a wide earthy belt – it screams relaxed and timeless. The look is especially suited to taller or athletic heights because of the wide-leg fit that won’t swallow. It’s one of those over-40 – 2025 women’s summer outfits that could pass for a casual date, a trip to a local market, or even a creative workspace.

• The taupe tank in neutral color gives simplicity with beautiful fabric drape.
• White loose linen pants give a cool, airy feel with much visual interest.
• Chunky pieces like the belt and tribal-style jewelry add personality to anchor the look.

Personally, I’d love to see leather sandals added to complete the earthy feel. Avoid heels or fussy bags—this look calls for grounded authenticity.

Vintage Denim Revival

Vintage and modern blend in the best possible manner here. Coupling a linen blouse with a beige vest and vintage-wash denim maxi skirt is a refined western-inspired style that’s new, rather than costumey. The look is ideal for women in mid 40s and above who love relaxed form. Ideal for activities over the weekend, art gallery meetups, or an easy concert look.

• The crisp, intentional white top is partially unbuttoned, giving a relaxed look.
• The beige vest adds a form-fitting touch, refreshing the denim skirt.
• That front-slit light-wash skirt elongates the legs and offers a cool edge.

A gold bangle or even a belt made of leather would complete the atmosphere. Don’t add bold prints or sportswear – the beauty of this outfit is that it’s soft and sentimental in its union.

Nautical and Elevated

This look is nautical chic with a sophisticated twist. The wide-legged camel pants and navy top with the silk scarf draped around the neck are timeless. It’s really flattering on most body types, but particularly on inverted triangles or straight silhouettes because the bulkiness of the pants provides amazing proportion. It’s perfect for work or for those days when you need to look polished but don’t have the energy to get dressed up.

• The naval blouse is tucked in just tightly enough to make the waist, and the open collar keeps it from being formal.
• Camel pants add earthy softness and shape with their fitted silhouette.
• A scarf in matching color adds panache and European finish.

I would add a watch or delicate layered necklaces here. Absolutely no sneakers or slouchy totes – this look requires polish.

Sharp Contrast Monochrome

There’s a crisp, architectural look to this black-and-white ensemble that feels new for summer wear for women over 40 – 2025. The sleeveless white top with black trim is paired with similar flared trousers for a statement, fitted style. This works well for fashionable women in their 40s or 50s and can easily be worn to gallery nights, fashionable dinners, or rooftop parties.

• The crisp white shirt with bold black piping creates contrast and sleek beauty.
• The flared black-detailing trousers provide length and flow.
• Black square-toe flats and a wee black bag make the outfit look less complicated.

A sleek low bun or vivid red lip may make the outfit look even more great. But I would skip adding color – the black-and-white look is the attraction here.

Graphic Modern White Suit

Beautiful yet not forgettable, this white suit outfit without sleeves and flared pants is a power move in understated luxury. The high-contrast graphic tote adds personality without breaking the minimalism. This look suits women aged early 30s to 60, especially those with hourglass or rectangular silhouettes who adore streamlined lines. A travel day necessity, casual work meeting, or fancy lunch date.

• The vest is well defined, nipped in at the waist for a slimming silhouette.
• White wide-leg trousers add movement and equilibrium without overwhelming.
• The bag, sporting a graphic black logo, adds surprise playfulness.

It would be good with an oversized pair of earrings or gold. I would not introduce bright colors here; its loveliness is the tonal serenity.
