20 Edgy Fashion for Over 50 Outfit Ideas to Try

Looking for edgy fashion for over 50 that feels like you? Start with a black biker jacket, chunky boots or a big silver-tone necklace.

These outfits include plenty of black, but there’s also leopard print, olive green and a little red worth saving.

You can keep things simple or go all out with mixed prints. Pick a whole outfit to try, or borrow one small detail for pieces you already own.

I especially love the bold jewelry and unexpected skirt combinations here.

Edgy outfit ideas worth saving

black biker jacket and olive pants

We’re starting off strong with this black biker jacket and olive pants combination. I love the silver-tone zippers against the black turtleneck.

The eyelet belt adds another little detail at the waist.

If you want to try edgy fashion for over 50 without lots of pattern, this is a lovely place to start.

black layers and lace-up boots

How cute is this all-black outfit? The loose turtleneck sits over a ribbed midi skirt with a side slit.

Black tights and lace-up boots finish the look.

Keep a little gold-tone jewelry at the neckline and wrists if you want to follow this combination. That small pendant is so pretty against the dark top.

big collar and round sunglasses

This collar may just be one of my favorite details here. I love the overlapping black neckline with the white cuffs peeking out underneath.

Try gray checked pants with your black and white layers. Don’t forget the round sunglasses if you want that same bold finishing touch.

tiger tee and black blazer

If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. The collage pairs a tiger graphic tee with a black blazer and wide-leg pants.

Add black sneakers with white stripes and a slim belt with a gold-tone buckle. You don’t need lots of extra accessories with that big graphic.

leopard coat and striped blouse

I am obsessed with this mix of leopard print and stripes. The long spotted coat sits over a black-and-white blouse and cropped black pants. Those red checked heels are such a fun extra touch.

If you’d rather try fewer patterns, keep the coat and striped blouse, then choose plain black shoes instead.

checked skirt and chunky boots

Here is another way to mix prints without covering the whole outfit in them. A little leopard pattern shows at the neckline and cuffs, with a checked skirt below the oversized black sweater.

The gray socks peeking above the lace-up boots are my favorite part. Keep them visible if you’re trying this look.

striped scarf and wide-leg pants

Don’t want to go all out with jewelry? No problem! This long striped scarf gives the black coat and gray top plenty of detail.

I love the roomy black pants with white sneakers showing underneath. The large crossbody bag is another detail worth borrowing.

pinstripes and oversized chains

If you are looking for lots of jewelry inspo, then this one is for you. There’s so much to love, from the oversized silver-tone chain to the wide cuffs and big rings.

The pinstriped blazer, white V-neck top and light-blue jeans keep the clothes simple. Try one chunky necklace first if you don’t want the whole stack.

cream top and red shoes

Who says you have to stick to all black? This cream draped-neck top looks so pretty with slim black pants and red open-toe ankle boots.

I especially love the burgundy clutch alongside the brighter shoes. Try those two shades together rather than searching for an exact match.

polka dots and tall boots

Don’t want to add a big print all over your outfit? No problem there! A band of oversized black dots peeks below this loose black top.

The black leggings and tall boots keep the rest simple. You could try the same idea with a longer dotted shirt underneath a plain sweater.

ripped jeans and layered necklaces

I love this black blazer with the cuffed, distressed jeans. The short necklace and long cross pendant look so good together over the plain black top.

Keep the white sneakers if you want to follow this outfit. The black quilted bag adds another detail without bringing in a new color.

checkerboard skirt and graphic sweatshirt

The checkerboard fans are going to love this! A long black-and-white skirt sits below a cropped graphic sweatshirt, with chunky lace-up boots underneath.

Try a longer sweatshirt if you’d prefer more coverage at the waist. You can still keep the big sleeves and bold skirt.

oversized jacket and slit skirt

I am obsessed with this oversized black jacket. The broad lapels look gorgeous over the low-neck white top and black skirt with a high slit.

The large black bag has a woven pattern that adds even more detail. I’d keep the jewelry simple here, just like the small gold-tone hoops.

white hoodie and gray boots

How cute is this hoodie outfit? The white graphic front stands out under the black blazer, with glossy black pants tucked into gray platform boots.

The pale beaded necklace is an unexpected addition. Try one over your own hoodie if you want to mix something dressier into the look.

gold-tone chains over black

If you’re looking for one accessory to build an outfit around, go with this draped chain belt. The loops sit over a plain black tee and black skirt with a slit.

I love the matching gold-tone drop earrings. There’s no need to add a print when the chains already do so much.

olive coat and cropped camo

This is one of my favorite ways to wear camouflage pants. I love the long olive coat with the black top and striped sleeves showing at the wrists.

The cropped, frayed hems leave the black ankle boots on show. Keep that shorter length if you want to borrow the same combination.

double-breasted blazer and loose camo

This is another camouflage look, but it’s a little different from the one above. The pants are much looser, with black-and-white high-top sneakers underneath.

Try a dark double-breasted blazer over a pale shirt to follow this outfit. I love how the shirt hem hangs below the jacket.

utility jacket and black maxi

If you are looking for a simpler outfit to recreate, this one is for you. An olive utility jacket goes over a long black dress with a side slit.

The little olive crossbody bag is so cute with the jacket. Finish yours with black-and-white sneakers if you like the same casual pairing.

pocket jacket and studded bag

Don’t want to add patterns or lots of jewelry? This black-and-white outfit gives you another option.

I love the glossy pocket jacket over the plain white tee and wide-leg black jeans.

The silver-tone studs along the bag straps are worth a closer look. They echo the little fastenings on the jacket.

leopard accents and cuffed jeans

Last but definitely not least, we have this fun mix of cream, leopard print and cuffed jeans. The patterned sleeves peek out below the loose cream top, with a matching leopard waist bag.

I love the layered gold-tone necklaces! Keep the tan ankle boots if you want to bring another lighter color into the outfit.
