Why Macy’s Is a Great Place to Shop for Summer

If you’re updating your warm-weather wardrobe, Macy’s has a wonderful selection of summer-ready outfits. Whether you prefer lightweight linen, vibrant florals, or breezy shorts, these pieces are polished and age-appropriate without sacrificing comfort or style. Today, I’m sharing three outfits I put together that are versatile, flattering, and ideal for women over 50.

Classic Linen with a Modern Twist

This outfit checks every box for me: polished, comfortable, and perfect for staying cool when the summer heat kicks in. I’ve always loved a good blazer, and pairing it with tailored shorts gives the whole look a fresh, updated feel. It’s that perfect blend of put-together and relaxed, which makes it ideal for a day of shopping, a casual lunch date, or even a summer evening event. When I wear this outfit, I feel confident and pulled together, but not like I’m trying too hard. The fabrics are lightweight and breathable, and everything moves with me, no fussing, no tugging, just easy style that still looks polished.

European Linen Blazer

This Linen Blazer from Quince is something I reach for again and again. It’s not stiff or stuffy, and the linen gives it that breezy, summertime feel. I love how it hangs, it’s unlined and soft enough to keep things relaxed.

Matte Satin Tee

I’ve become a big fan of satin tees lately. They’re just a little more elevated than a basic cotton top, and this Matte Satin Tee is lightweight with a silky finish that layers beautifully under jackets or cardigans. I also own this tee in ivory, and it looks great with everything.

The large JULIA GOLD Necklace has a bold, modern feel. It’s a great way to add some contrast against a light-colored top. The Baby Knot Earrings are lightweight, shiny, and classic; these are a staple in my jewelry drawer. (Use code STEPHENS15 for 15% off.) The small Pebble Pendant Necklace is a pretty little layering piece that adds dimension without overpowering the look.

Glen Check Pleated Linen Twill Shorts

These Glen Check Pleated Linen Twill Shorts are such a surprise hit! They’re polished enough to feel dressed up, but the linen fabric keeps them casual. The pleats give them a tailored vibe, and the glen check print is subtle but stylish.

Ornament Thong Sandals

These Thong Sandals are my go-to sandals this summer. They slip on easily, stay comfortable all day, and the ornament detail gives them a little something extra.

Italian Leather Handwoven Crossbody

This Handwoven Crossbody is a work of art. It’s beautifully made, holds all my essentials, and adds that rich texture that ties everything together.

Floral & Feminine Summer Outfits from Macy’s

This is one of those outfits that instantly puts me in a good mood. The floral top is cheerful without being loud, and the relaxed fit means I’m not tugging or adjusting anything throughout the day. Paired with comfy Bermuda shorts, this is the kind of look I’d wear for sightseeing on vacation, hosting a casual get-together, or running errands while still feeling cute and pulled together. I love that it’s easy to wear but still feels intentional, no thinking required, just grab and go.

Relaxed-Fit Floral Short-Sleeve Shirt

This Floral Short-Sleeve Shirt is so breezy and comfortable. It doesn’t cling, and it lays just right on the body. The floral print has a timeless charm, and the colors are soft and flattering.

Navy Twill Stretch Bermuda Shorts and Wedge Heels

These Bermuda Shorts are a staple for any summer wardrobe. The stretch makes them forgiving and easy to move in, and the longer length offers coverage without looking frumpy.

I’m always on the lookout for a good pair of shoes, and these Wedge Sandals deliver. The heel gives just the right amount of lift, but I can still walk in them for hours without sore feet.

Accessories

Relaxed Linen Layers

I like to call this my “I need to be comfortable but still look like I made an effort” outfit. It’s a no-fail look for everything from travel days to brunch with friends. The layers are light and airy, and the linen pants have that flowy movement that always feels so flattering. Isn’t that what we all want in summer? It’s soft, structured, and relaxed all at the same time.

European Linen Structured Blazer

This version of the Linen Blazer is a bit more tailored than the first. I sized up for a looser fit, but if you prefer a more fitted look, you can go with your usual size. Either way, it adds just the right polish to a casual outfit.

Cotton T-Shirt

This Cotton T-Shirt is soft, breathable, and easy to tuck or leave loose. I love having a good neutral tee in my closet that works with everything. This one is slim fitting, which is trending this season.

Wide-Leg 100% Linen Pants

If I could live in Wide-Leg Linen Pants all summer, I probably would. These run a little big, so I recommend sizing down. The wide leg is flattering, especially when paired with something more fitted on top.

Clarks always delivers when it comes to comfort, and these Leather Wedges are no exception. They’re surprisingly easy to walk in, even if you’ll be on your feet all day.

Pebble Leather Crossbody Bag

I love a great everyday bag that holds up well and matches just about anything. The pebbled texture and structured shape of this Leather Crossbody Bag are beautiful, and it can be dressed up or down. 

Final Thoughts on Summer Outfits from Macy’s

Macy’s has always been one of my go-to places to find stylish, age-appropriate pieces for summer. I appreciate that they carry classic silhouettes in breathable fabrics and offer sizing that works well for women over 50. These outfits are great for errands, outings, and everything in between, and each one can be mixed and matched with pieces already in your closet.
