OOTD: Barrel Trousers After 50 – Flattering, Comfortable And Actually Wearable!
So, have you spotted the barrel trouser trend everywhere lately? I certainly have! Yes, I know it was around last year but this year it seems to be bigger than ever.
I’ll be honest, when I first saw this style of trousers last year, I wasn’t completely sure whether they would be for me.
That slightly curved leg shape is a little different from the wide-leg trousers I’ve been wearing so much lately.
But you know what? Sometimes you just have to give something new a go!
Especially when I saw a lady at least 20 years older than me in them, and I thought to myself, these look great and I love how she has styled them!! Because I really did think, I might be to old for them.

So today I’m sharing my outfit of the day featuring barrel-leg trousers and showing how I’ve styled them for a comfortable, everyday look.
Because let’s face it, looking stylish is lovely, but being able to sit down, walk around, go shopping and enjoy lunch without feeling restricted is just as important!
I wore this outfit on a shopping trip to Meadowhall, this morning where I got some lovely Christmas clothes from.
And who says we can’t have a little fun with fashion after 50? So, what do you think? Are barrel trousers a style you’d try?
Meadowhall is all trimmed up for Christmas. How pretty!!

What I Wore:
- Jumper: Chunky Knit Jumper From The Rita Ora X Primark Collection A Few Years Ago.
- Barrel Legged Trousers: Primark
- Burgundy Mary Jane Shoes: Amazon
Love these new shoes too. My daughter brought them to go to a Comicon somewhere in London but last minute changed her outfit.
So she gave them to me as she knows I love Mary Jane shoes.
You don’t have to sacrifice comfort to look stylish, and you certainly don’t have to give up on fashion after 50 do you!?
Love this autumn photo I took before we set off to Meadowhall.

Thirdly, Styling Checked Combat Trousers And A Cream Jumper.
Feeling warmer here. I think most of the snow has disappeared and it is getting a little warmer. As I hate being cold. These cotton combats are great for warmer weather.
Love these checked combat trousers I picked up in New York a few years ago. They are so comfortable to wear. I always feel stylish when I wear them too.

Fourthly, Styling A Pink Polka Dot Blouse & Burgundy Trousers Over 50.
There’s something about getting dressed that should make you smile before you’ve even left the house. And this outfit definitely did that for me!
I brought this outfit back in May, but after our visit to New York, it warm up here and I started wearing my dresses and never got chance to wear them again.
So I can not wait to start wearing these pieces again in autumn.
I wore this outfit while out and about in New York and I couldn’t resist stopping for a photo in front of this fabulous Mickey Mouse-inspired street art on our fun travels.

Sixth, Effortless Style Over 50: Classic Meets Playful.
In midlife, you start to know what works well, what feels good, and how to make an outfit genuinely your own, so there’s something really strong about dressing confidently past 50.
This outfit I wore in London, combines classic elements with a dash of individuality, and is the ideal example of that harmony. I loved this look.
An elegant tone immediately comes to mind with a long, structured coat.
Its traditional cut adds refinement and clean lines without overdoing it. The style feels contemporary yet cosy when paired with loose, wide-leg trousers, showing you elegance.
