Regardless of what year you came into this world, we can all learn a thing or two about style from our wiser fashion counterparts. These are the women who have lived to see generations worth of trends come and go and who have spent the better half of a lifetime honing in on what they can now claim as a strong sense of personal style. Since this group of women offers a wealth of knowledge, we were curious to know what kind of style lessons they can teach the rest of us, especially when it comes to a topic as timeless as denim.

We spoke with two of the many chic older women we've taken to following on Instagram for style inspiration: Grece Ghanem, a 50-something from Montréal with a penchant for print mixing and "old Céline," and Renata Jazdzyk, a 50-something from the UK you've seen wearing all the buzzy street style looks. Both women shared the "mistakes" they've admittedly made when styling or maintaining their favorite pairs of jeans, what they learned from each that they want everyone else to know, and the inspirational jeans outfits they're wearing now.

Keep reading to discover our best overall pick, four denim mistakes they've made, shop the best jeans for women over 50 (but really anyone), and get inspired by their best jeans outfits along the way.

If you're looking for a timeless style that you'll want to wear in your 50s and beyond, we highly suggest investing in a good pair of straight-leg jeans.

Kendall Jenner wears this style on repeat in her 20s, and we can see her owning them indefinitely. These are jeans that go with everything, are universally flattering, and will never grow old. Now, onto the mistakes that Grece Ghanem and Renata Jazdzyk made that you'll never want to repeat.

"There was a time in my life when I really liked distressed jeans. I think they can add character to your outfit.

However, they are not for every occasion, and I also feel that the distressed look is not me anymore. I tend to go for regular jeans, something simpler that can be easily paired with anything from my wardrobe. I also recently swapped holes in jeans for big pockets, e.g., JW Anderson pocket jeans. They are fun and unique and perfect to wear with more casual outfits." — Renata Jazdzyk

This pair has just the right amount of crop for your next vacation.

While skinny jeans have been on the outs for a while, this pair is absolutely timeless because it's not *too* fitted.

We're obsessed with the wash on these jeans.

This pair is absolute perfection.

"I used to stay away from denim on denim, especially the same tones of denim.

Now, I'm a big fan of wearing denim this way. I actually believe that the more denim, the better. However, I think it's essential to keep it simple when it comes to layering denim. My favorite combo is denim jeans worn with a denim jacket, and don't be afraid to go matchy-matchy." — Jazdzyk

This is a denim jacket you'll have on rotation for a long time.

If you want the ultimate high-rise, we suggest this pair.

A funky jacket paired with wide-leg jeans is a vibe.

We're here for the crop on this jacket.

Everyone deserves a maxi skirt like this one.

"I was once guilty of not experimenting with denim on denim.

That's a mistake I will never repeat. I love pulling off a Canadian tuxedo by pairing different denim washes together. It's the easiest way of putting together a basic yet distinct look." — Grece Ghanem

"One of my biggest denim mistakes was wearing jeans with too much spandex, which consequently were too tight. I'm not a very tall person, so these kinds of jeans are not for me.

Now, I tend to go for straight-fit jeans. Sometimes, I even buy them one or two sizes up, as I like an oversize look. They are perfect with a white tee, a blazer, and nice heels." — Jazdzyk

These wide-leg jeans will make anyone look like a fashion insider.

How flawless are these?

If you're a bit nervous about wearing slouchy jeans, these are the perfect stepping stone.

Something about dark-wash jeans always feels timeless.

"Once upon a time, I wore low-waist stretchy jeans. These styles are a big no-no for me now.

When I am shopping for a good pair of blues, I am looking for raw denim fabric, medium- to high-waist bootcut style—think vintage Levi's 501. In the summer, I will rock a pair of flares with a silk printed blouse for a fresh retro-chic look." — Ghanem

This might be the coolest pair of jeans we've ever seen.

Style these with your favorite cardigan ASAP.

J.Crew denim is so underrated.

We can't stop talking about how much we love Abercrombie lately.

"Poor maintenance and care of your jeans can really make your favorite pair look unflattering. Washing your denim too often wears the fabric and the color down. Putting them in a dryer is a death sentence too.

Air-drying your denim pieces will prevent them from shrinking and fading. That is how I kept my favorite pair of Levi's jeans from my 20s in an excellent condition—they withstood the wear of time perfectly!" — Ghanem

Ghanem would approve of these cargos.

Editors go crazy for the Annina trousers.

The seaming here is perfection.

You need this colorway in your denim closet.
