By late summer, we are ready to head to the mountains of North Georgia for some cooler temperatures than South Georgia. We love visiting our cabin that we have listed: Georgia Vacation Rentals for some rest and relaxation or heading out in our RV for some great mountain air. Cargo pants are one of my regular daily picks, so let's explore some of these effortless, elevated outfits that are great for all activities in the mountains: hiking, exploring, shopping small towns, and relaxing at the cabin or RV. Amazon Cargo Pants, Sneakers, & Related Popover Tops For chilly mornings when camping in our RV, I enjoy wear a crop sweatshirt popover. The crop length gives a proportionate style to the outfit because it ends right at the waistline accentuating the waist and looks more polished than a full length sweatshirt that just makes me feel like I am swimming in fabric. Just like the crop sweatshirt, a crop jacket, ending at the waist or slightly below the waist if you have a shirt tucked in, also provides proportion to a cargo pants outfit. I like having layers during spring, late summer, and fall because mornings and evenings can get quite chilly in the mountains. You can dress up cargo pants with a colorful popover sweatshirt or sweater when browsing around small mountain towns, enjoying a casual lunch, or visiting a local farm, or antique stores. Amazon Cargo Pants, Sneakers, & Related Popover Tops I enjoy pairing my cargo pants outfits with these Guess Kadlin Sneakers. These shoes are great for petite women over 60 because they are slim and have a slight built-in heel that also helps to increase posture and support your back. We enjoy hiking by the mountains streams, sometimes to a waterfall, and then heading for lunch and browsing the shops in one of the small towns. The cargo pants outfits are rugged enough for outdoor wear and elevated enough for shopping and enjoying lunch in a small town cafe after hiking. Regardless, if you are a homebody and just prefer a comfortable outfit to lounge around your house or if you are more active and enjoy hiking and shopping, cargo pants paired with the right tops and sneakers makes a comfortable outfit for petite women over 60. Amazon Cargo Pants, Sneakers, & Related Popover Tops We love visiting Talking Rock, Ga.! I hope you have an opportunity to experience the comfort and adventures of cargo pants while visiting the small towns across America for an opportunity to step back in time when life was a little slower, more relaxed, and enjoying nature was part of small town charm! Don't forget to add Talking Rock, Ga located in North Georgia to your Fall itinerary for the Heritage Days Festival October 17-18, 2026...and wear your cargo pants!

You’ll find outfit ideas, fabrics, and fits that work for women over 60 who want comfort, coverage, and a polished petite style. Crop tops are the best tops for petite women over 60 to wear to elongate A petite frame in the summer. Petite crop tops do not have to be tucked in and they look best un-tucked and just touch the top 1"-2" of high-waist shorts, pants, and skirts to accentuate your waistline. Crop tops are cool and comfortable on a hot day; the boxy and baby doll crop tops allow airflow. Crop tops look good on petite women even if you have some extra weight, as long as your abdomen is covered and the top covers the first 1-2" of your high-waist shorts, pants, or skirts. Minkpink Crop Top XS & Mintpink Mini Skirt Two Piece Crop Top & Skirt Why is the crop top the perfect length top for petites? Crop tops are the perfect length top for petites because crop tops accentuate your waist and elongate a short body frame. Crop tops should be worn on 1/3 of your upper body, leaving the remaining 2/3 of your body to be composed of high-waist clothing to elongate a short stature. Most petite crop tops are between 19”-23” in length to cover your abdomen, but crop tops an inch or two shorter, especially worn as a matching set, are great for beach or pool parties. What are the best fabrics for crop tops? Linen, cotton, and ribbed cotton are the the best fabrics for summer crop tops. Other lightweight fabrics are fine , especially if they are not clingy and allow good airflow. A crop sweater is great for a cool evening during the summer. Gap Linen Crop tops Size XS Gap Linen Shorts (00-size down one size) What are the best length of sleeves for crop tops on petite women? Sleeve choice is a personal preference and I like crop tops in different sleeve lengths: sleeveless, short sleeve, and long sleeve. However, when I wear long sleeve crop tops I roll the sleeves up 2-3 times on a blouse or push the sleeves up 3"-4" on a crop sweater to elongate my short arms. Are crop tops appropriate for all social situations? Crop tops can be casual or worn to dressy events depending on the style and fabric. Choose cool, comfortable fabrics for more casual activities. Choose a high quality linen, silk, or even beaded fabrics.

At 5’, I feel wearing a crop top and bottom with the same color bottom gives my petite body the illusion of a few extra inches even without wearing heels.

With summer just around the corner, it’s easy to feel nervous about shorts, sleeveless tops, and swimsuits—especially when social media is full of “perfect” bodies and trends that don’t feel made for us. If you’re a petite woman over 60, you can still look fresh, modern, and confident in your summer outfits. In this post, I’ll share simple lifestyle and style tips—healthy eating, gentle exercise, and easy skin and hair routines—that help you look younger over 60 and feel amazing in chic, comfortable summer fashions. Simple Lifestyle Habits That Make You Look Younger Eating natural is an important part of healthy living that is a crucial step in looking younger over age 60. Take a look at pictures from older generations. Most people in older generations were not overweight. It wasn't until the mid 20th century that we started seeing weight gain and cancer related to obesity. The weight gain started with the introduction of processed food and decrease in activity due to changing jobs and lifestyle. Women in the 1950's prior to the explosion of eating processed foods and decreasing activity due to changing lifestyles and careers Petite women as short at 4' 10" and weighing 143 pounds are considered obese based on their body mass index (BMI). Petite women at 5'4" are considered obese at 174 pounds, so the shorter you are, the less weight your body can carry and not be considered overweight or even obese. Are you stuck at the same weight after trying so many different diets? Are you tempted to try these new medications or surgery to lose weight? The struggle is real for petite women! Following some healthy living tips including choosing the right foods is an important element in healthy living over 50. Eating natural is the key! It really is simple once you understand what to eat. Just ask yourself, "Did God make it?" God gave us everything our body needs to be healthy: food, water, and sunshine. Fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains will serve your body well. Even eggs, dairy products, and sourdough bread are healthy choices in moderation. Walk 20-30 minutes after each meal to get vitamin D, aid in digestion, and keep your metabolism strong. Don't forget to drink water, lots of it! Once you eliminate the diet sodas, protein bars, and processed diet or other processed foods and incorporate a natural diet, you will see the pounds melt away. Don't Skimp On Protein Make sure you are getting enough protein! I have found eggs, lean meats (chicken and turkey), seafood, cottage cheese and fat free Greek yogurt to be my power proteins. I also add some other proteins including cheese, nuts, and Greek yogurt with fat in moderation. The trick is to get enough protein so you continue to build muscle while losing the fat (0.7-1 gram of protein per pound based on each individual's needs). You may need to try different amounts and see what feels best for you. You can also supplement protein by using natural protein powders mixed with low-fat Greek yogurt if you feel like you are not getting enough protein. Consistent Exercise and Weights Are A Must Yes, you can definitely lose weight without exercising and lifting weights. However, it is not a pretty sight when you have a thin body with sagging, crepey skin. Also, it is easier to lose weight, maintain weight, and you will feel healthier with muscle than you would without it. Don’t make the mistake of losing weight without implementing an exercise program that includes weights. To lose weight, start with cardio and weights, I started with cardio, on a spin bike 45 minutes per day. Start with minimal weights, but don't stay at the same weight. To build muscle, you must lift heavy weight. I prefer to weight train every other day, but weight training 2-3 times per week will get results if you are consistent. Don't forget your glute exercises. The last thing you want to do is lose the weight and have a pancake butt that requires padded butt panties! Lol-we won't go there! I like to end my exercise session with 15 minutes standing or doing knee bends on an Amazon vibrating plate. I have found the vibrating plate aides in digestion and helps to drain the lymphatic system decreasing cellulite. It also comes with bands that you can do exercises on the vibrating plate, but I have not tried that yet. Skin and Hair Tips That Soften and Brighten Your Look Finding the right skin care regimen for your body is important to have smooth skin during those hot summer months when you want to wear sleeveless shirts and shorts. If you are like most women over 50, you are diligent about using a night time and daytime moisturizer and you probably use sunscreen when you head to the pool or the beach. However, to really see a difference in your skin, I use sunscreen daily, skip the sun for tanning and use self-tanning lotions. Amazon Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch 15 Amazon Colorescience Face Sunscreen 50 Intensive Skin Care I started seeing smoother skin on my arms and legs when I started using an Amazon microcurrent red light device on my face, arms, and legs. The device comes with a serum to apply before using the device. I also like to use a peptide collagen product and alternate with a hyaluronic acid serum to see that crepey skin start to plump up and smooth out. Just like exercise, it only works if I use it. I work it into a routine of using the red light device at night after I take a bath and watch TV. It doesn't take any time away from getting dressed in the morning and I have found it to be very relaxing. I also use the red light device with the same products in the morning for a quick lift! Amazon Microcurrent Red LIght Face/Body Eqqualberry NAD Peptide Take Steps To Reduce Crepey Skin MinkPink Crop Top (XS-TTS) & MinkPink Skirt (XS-TTS) Amazon Michael Kors Gold Sandals (6-TTS) Steps to decrease crepey skin To keep dehydration at bay, petite women over 60 should drink half their body weight in ounces. So, if you weight 105 pounds, you should be drinking about 53 ounces, (6-7 cups) of water each day. Moisturize twice daily, preferably after a bath to lock in the moisture. Exfoliate your skin 1-2 times weekly with a scrub and follow with moisturizer. Wear sunscreen daily. Many women have noted improvement from the use of red light therapy and micro -needling, which helps moisturizers penetrate deeply into the skin. I have seen some benefit from using an Amazon micro-current red light device along with a NAD Peptide lotion and a hyaluronic acid serum. Green Willow Soap Co in Ellijay, Ga. has an ALL NATURAL potion that I have observed to help alleviate crepey skin. Radiance skin treatment has 2 different solutions made naturally when mixed together produce good results for providing the moisture under skin needed to plump it up and alleviate the appearance of crepiness. Tell them Loving Petite sent you! Eat a nutritious diet composed of lean proteins, antioxidants, and omega 3 fats. Avoid sugar, alcohol, and processed foods because those foods increase inflammation. Weight resistant training helps to build muscle and makes crepey skin less apparent. Take Care of Your Smile AMAZON: Waterpik Sonic Fusion toothbrush/flosser Travel Iron/Steamer Microcurrent Red Light Face & Body Take Care of Your Smile I have always believed going to the dentist every 6 months and brushing your teeth throughout the day are great habits. To have that awesome smile, I am trying to remember to whiten my teeth on a regular basis and use a brusher/flosser. I was amazed at the difference it made with my teeth. I thought I was doing great by brushing my teeth 3 times daily until I started using the Amazon Waterpik Sonic Fusionbrusher/flosser. Well, let's just say my dentist saw a big improvement in my gums and I feel like my smile is brighter. Choose The Right Hair Style I have enjoyed wearing long hair most of my life. Hair length and volume should be proportionate to the body so you are wearing the hairstyle instead of the hairstyle wearing you. Hairstyles are a personal choice. Lately, I have been enjoying a shorter hair length and I feel that it fits proportionately with my petite body. I am enjoying layers that hit right at the jaw or just slightly below the jaw to accentuate my neck and it feels like it gives me an automatic face lift. Check out these before and after pictures to see how the shorter layers with movement are more flattering on a petite body than a long straight cut. BEFORE The long unlayered hair cut is not flattering on a petite woman over 60! Yes, you can call me the bag lady and yes, our little dog , Jack is riding in the brown dog pouch! Just another day enjoying grandma "BB's" life! Of course, face shape and the amount of body in hair are also factors to consider. Ask your hairdresser for possible choices of hairstyle/color and keep in mind the time it would take to style it. AFTER A short layered bob is a flattering hair style on an XS petite woman because it provides proportion to her petite body. I have found that using hot rollers with layers is a easy way to style hair, especially if the hairstyle is shorter than shoulder length. The best part is the ease in styling; it only takes 15 minutes! AMAZON Conair Hot Rollers give lift and volume to a layered cut and it only takes 15 minutes! AMAZON Boldify Hairline Powder Root Touch Up is great to use in between salon visits. I like to use two different shades to give hair dimension. The powder is less messy to use than the sprays and you have more control over placement of the powders. Use a darker tone for roots and a lighter tone for a touch of highlights (just a touch of highlights). Touch Up Roots Often With every year, I see those gray roots coming in after each the last coloring. I started using two shades of root touch up powder to keep those gray roots at bay. I like a dark color to match my roots and a lighter shade for highlights. I have found it looks more natural than the root touch up spray I had been using for years. Summer Outfit Formulas That Flatter Petite Women Over 60 Elevated summer fashions should include fabrics that are comfortable, breezy, and chic for the woman over 60. I like to choose fabrics with linen, organic cotton, and lightweight white jeans. Staying cool and comfortable will show in how you present yourself in your clothes, so I try not to make the mistake of wearing heavy denim, polyester that doesn't breathe, and tight clothing that doesn't allow airflow. Learn how to dress proportionately for your petite body. Accentuate your waistline, expose your neck with a scoop neck or v-neck tops and expose your ankles to elongate your body.

Dress proportionately in petite fashions combined with neutral or gold shoes and accessories for a streamlined, elongating impact on your petite body. Wear The Right Inseam Petite women over 60 look best in inseams 3.5 to 6 inches to elongate their legs. I prefer 4"-5" inseams. The shorter you are, the shorter the inseam can be and look flattering depending on your height.

Spring is the season of getting out and enjoying the outdoors after months of being cooped up indoors. It has been a cold winter for most of the country.

For me, fashion changed drastically after retirement. I was no longer dressing for my career. I still enjoy looking polished when going out, but I definitely enjoy a more casual look at home and while traveling in our Airstream travel trailer or on a boat. For that reason, I am discovering pieces that are casual, but fit my body appropriately. Having a good fitting outfit makes the simplest outfit look appealing even in casual outdoor activities. Amazon Jam Fit Chino 4" Shorts Related -Crop Top Rhinestone Sandals Rayban Sunglasses Changing Body Size and Shape As We Age: Let’s talk about fashion for petite women over 60. Some women are finding themselves in this category of petite women for the first time in their lives due to height decreases from aging. Fifteen years ago, I was 5’2”, but now I am just a hair over 5’ if I stand up really straight. Pair that short stature with pancake glutes and crepey skin; you will struggle to find clothes that fit and look anything like you once experienced in your younger years. A healthy diet and exercise regimen are the best treatments for aging gracefully, but wearing the right clothes proportionately to your body type is important too. Some Fashion Tips For Petite Women Emphasize the Waistline Wear clothing that emphasizes the waistline for an elongated and elevated look. Shirts tucked into high waisted pants, jeans, and shorts are always good choices, especially worn with a skinny belt to define the waistline without overpowering your attire.

However, wide leg jeans with only slightly wide legs can be worn with a fitted top and shoes with heels for a great look. I prefer straight leg and flare jeans. However, I have a few wide leg jeans that I enjoy wearing with fitted tops and heels. Avoid wide leg jeans that are not fitted to your body and have excessive fabric. Sneakers with heel lifts, wedge sandals, and pointed kitten heels are great shoes to wear with either straight leg, flare, or wide leg jeans.

Better yet, embrace your body, wear a smile and let your focus be on your happy spirit. Choose dresses that are cut above the knee or mid- calf for midi dresses. My favorite dresses are mini shirt-dresses. I have found regular mini dresses usually fall at the right place above my knee.

Whether you are traveling in an RV or a plane, you will want the necessary fashion and beauty accessories! The polished woman favors quality over quantity, utilizes timeless pieces, and minimizes accessories for a polished look. Traveling requires pieces that are comfortable, easy to pack, and universal to wear with different outfits. Keep changing weather in mind, especially for a spring or fall trip. Layers work really well since the wind can pick up during the day or it may get cooler while you are out exploring. Keep a light rain jacket handy. You will want clothing that is comfortable and attractive for exploring the towns along the way. In the summer, I have a tendency to choose shorts or cargo pants over jeans while traveling for comfort.

Having lived on St. Simons Island for over 20+ years, I always enjoy visiting the island, now that I have moved away. Summers are hot on Saint Simons Island, but the cool ocean breezes and the shade from the massive oak trees provide opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities on most days. Packing for a vacation on the island, especially during the summer should include light fabrics with pops of color to match the vibe of the island lifestyle. Plan for some cool mornings and evenings even during the summer since the temperature can fluctuate from 15- 25 degrees on some days. In addition, pop-up showers in the afternoon occur often, so you will want to pack a light rain jacket and/or umbrella. Beach days turn into beach evenings on St. Simons Island, Ga. so comfortable swimsuits and coverups should be the first items on your list. You will see people running errands to and from the beach dressed in a nice cover up and sandals, so you will want to make certain you have an appropriate coverup to get you through those errands in between your vacation rental and the beach. Enjoy relaxing on the beautiful beaches where you can often spot dolphins jumping in the water out in the distance. The coastal breezes may keep you cool, so bring plenty of sunscreen because even if you don't feel hot, the sun is very strong and you will be glad you have the sunscreen protection.
