I love sundresses! I can’t say it loud enough, and I can’t own enough of them. As I get older, I am noticing my taste in sundresses change.

The ones that I now navigate towards are longer, offer a little more coverage, and I tend to also prefer natural fabrics over synthetics. Cotton and linen sundresses are comfortable and breathe easily, making them great for hot summer days and long summer nights.

Sundresses for women over 60 can be solid, printed, and in a variety of styles and fabrics. Do you feel the need to hide away in a shapeless dress because of the little extra around your middle? You’re not alone. It’s a common mistake older women make.

But did you know that A-line, empire waists, fit-and-flare, and belted sundresses tend to flatter an aging woman’s body best?

Let’s take a look at some sundresses that don’t look like shapeless bags and that will make you look and feel fabulous. I have assembled suggested accessories to complete the look of each sundress.

Billy T Cruising Shirtdress

I love denim shirt dresses and will never stop wearing them. I wear them longer now and preferably with a cap sleeve like this one from Nordstrom. Pair it with tan accessories for a casual summer look.

Perfect Wrap Midi Dress

I can’t stress enough how much I love wrap dresses! Wrap dresses are easy to wear and honestly flatter many body types.

I know the models in these photos don’t represent our age group and body types, even if the dresses are designed with older women in mind.

I do my best to search for photos that feature older models, but it’s not always possible. The fashion industry has many marketing changes to implement where ageism is concerned.

Regardless, these are wonderful sundresses in varied price ranges. Surely, there’s one on this list that will fit your budget and your body perfectly.

Many of you have commented that you would prefer dresses with sleeves. I fully understand that, but this is an article about sundresses. However, I have added a few new dresses with sleeves. What I suggest (and do myself) is carry a wrap or scarf to cover up your arms and shoulders when you feel the need to.
