6 Fashion Bloggers Over 40 You Need To Follow On Instagram

For those interested in an experimental kind of fashion blogger, look no further than Judith Boyd of Style Crone. The 75-year-old has a penchant for hats, saying: “I love to support artists who create wearable art.”

Fashion is a form of therapy for Boyd. She says: “If I have an event coming up, I will have a chosen piece available to view in advance to stimulate my creativity. It’s a mindful process, very healing, and an artful exercise in self expression. Some people paint, sculpt, garden, or cook; my artistic outlet and self expression is through style.”

Summers has called her Instagram account “Not Dressed As Lamb,” and that gives you a taste of what you’ll get on there. The 45-year-old is staunchly against “age appropriateness”, showing that women don’t have to conform to society’s sartorial expectations – in fact, Summers champions the hashtag #iwillwearwhatilike.

So what will you find on her Instagram account? Bright colours, fun patterns and a lot of vintage gems. She shows you don’t have to stop having fun with fashion when you hit 40 whilst still being sophisticated – plus there are plenty of bonus pictures of her cute dog.

53-year-old Grace Ghanem is a personal trainer from Montreal, and her Instagram shows that you don’t have to be a millennial to be up to date with the biggest labels and hottest trends.

She’s a striking presence, with a silvery choppy bob and trademark oversized sunglasses. Ghanem’s wardrobe will make you green with envy – full of labels like Gucci, Céline and Balenciaga – with Ghanem working every outfit like she’s on the runway.

Lyn Slater of Accidental Icon is so established a fashion blogger that she’s actually got a blue tick on Instagram – and you can see why by looking at her snaps.

This sexagenarian is the perfect antidote to the world of fast fashion we see today – Slater believes in items of clothes being forever, rather than just for the short lifespan of a trend.

Sure, you might not look at Baddie Winkle’s Instagram account for day-to-day sartorial inspiration, but she’s worth a follow purely for how expressive and free she is with her fashion.

Many women who reach the grand old age of 90 (!) don’t tend to wear boob tubes or pleather miniskirts, but no such rules apply to Winkle. Instead, she wears exactly what she wants – and even has a bedazzled cane to make things even swaggier.

Diane Capozzi of Fashion On The 4th Floor’s Instagram bio says it all: “Fashion transcends all decades! Age should be irrelevant when it comes to simply showcasing your unique style.”

Her account is a ray of sunshine – bright colours, fun silhouettes, and Capozzi’s trademark smile. She’s just impossibly cool.
