Classic Casual Over 50 French Fashion And More Good Things
This is a fun topic: classic casual over 50 French fashion! Here’s what is fresh and chic from Paris for women over 50, including jackets from Sézane, a fabulous French perfume, cheap/cool French glassware and more.
It’s Five Faves time with Annie and Cindy!
French Style With Sézane
While in Paris last week, Annie, Susan and I did a little shopping at Sézane…
Betty Sweater Jackets
It was great to meet Susan in person from femme d’un certain âge and spend some time together. She is my age and has a beautiful complexion and style.
I loved Susan’s sweater in hazelnut and bought it in “the perfect green” ( size medium). It’s really comfortable and there are lots of lovely colors.
Will Jackets
I purchased the Will jacket in indigo (size small). It’s a fun new alternative to a jeans jacket.
Love the deep pockets for carrying your cellphone.
Annie bought the Will jacket in wool in orange terracotta. She looked great in it.
Heavenly Scent From Diptyque
I tried several scents in this perfume shop in Dijon and really loved the fresh, powdery clean scent of 34 Boulevard Saint Germain Eau de Toilette. Try it at your local department store. You are worth it.
Shirt Dress From Madewell
This is a crisp shirt dress (25% off for Madewell Insiders) that would also look good open with a tee-shirt and jeans or tights and a sweater.
Simple Cheap French Glassware: Duralex Clear Small Tumblers
In both apartments that we rented, they had these cheap chic glasses that Howard used for espresso and I used for votive candles to add some ambiance to our temporary home.
I’d like them at home, too. They are stackable.
- Set includes six 3-1/8-ounce glasses for $16.34 on Amazon
- The original french tumbler, made by the company that invented tempered glass
- Duralex is 2-1/2 times more resistant to breakage and chipping than normal glass
- Dishwasher, refrigerator and microwave safe; Products maintain the original look for years
Note: I love to buy French magazines while in Paris.
Annie’s Most Lovely Things Cool French Shop
Annie and her charming husband, Brent (who I finally got to meet in Paris) found so many great vintage things at French flea markets. Their shop will open again in October and I can’t wait. If you can’t make it to Paris right away…their shop will be a quick fix. Like with these vintage paintings.

MA! It’s been really fun following your travels via Instagram. Love that you met Susan, connected with Annie and did everything wonderful and fabulous there is to do in Paris. Those Sezane sweater jackets are wonderful, I’m going to click your link. Love my Duralex glasses … classics. Never thought to use them as votives … brilliant. Cheers! xo
Looks like you had so much fun shopping with the ladies! Shopping in Paris is just better!
Hope you had a terrific trip.

Love that Will jacket—might need to get it in khaki! Even in winter in North Texas we’ve learned to layer our cottons since the temps can fluctuate so much in a single day. And I’ve already added those glasses to my Amazon cart!
Thanks! I’m going to order the glasses, too.
Mary Ann, thank you for posting. I, too, am petite, XS. Very frustrating to find jeans. Familiar with retailers you listed altho not near any one of them. Shutter to think of ordering online.
We shall see….
You always appear well dressed.
Thank you and I’ll continue to enjoy your posts.
Thanks, Cynthia…I am short but need to lose some weight!
Hi Mary Ann! I discovered Sezane when visiting my daughter in NYC this spring. Love everything in that store! Ended up with a navy mohair cardigan but really want to buy the Betty sweater. AND I found a Sezane in San Francisco on Fillmore in Pac Heights! Glad you enjoyed Paris.
Wow…I don’t remember it on Filmore Street. That would have been convenient, Wendy.
Mary Ann, looks like you had a wonderful time with Annie and Susa. Love your choices from Sezane and Diptique. A signature perfume that everyone else isn’t wearing is always a good things and you are right, we are worth it.
We have those same glasses, in fact we have stacks of them that purchased in France years ago and we use them for water, wine, coffee etc.
Have a wonderful week!
Thanks for commenting, Elizabeth! I need to catch up on your post!
Hi Mary Ann,
So lovely you met up with Annie and her husband and Susan and went to Sezane, my all time favorite!! I love the Will jacket just bought the suede one. Have a gorgeous time happy travels!
I would love it in suede, too, Francesca.
So fun that you all got to meet up!! Shopping in Paris look like so much fun! Did you make it to Crimson Cashmere?
Looks like you had a fabulous time in Paris! Fun to meet up with blogger friends.
Love your choices from Sezanne…they seem to have such great style. I definitely get ideas from their Instagram posts.
Enjoy your new finds!
