Struggling with fall outfit ideas for women in their 40s? Two fall looks for women inspired by Go Hyun-jung's shirt and plaid jacket.

For those in their 40s, choosing an autumn outfit can be a dilemma even after finding a piece you like. Is it too comfortable to wear to work? If I wear it on the weekend, it feels like I'm going to the office. Now you understand why people say they have clothes but nothing to wear, right? Haha. Actress Ko Hyun-jung's look featuring a shirt and a plaid jacket offers a hint to those concerns. She styled familiar items in a way that wasn't stiff or overly formal. Looking at the photos in chronological order, I found there were points in both the overall silhouette and the small details.

Go Hyun-jung's sky blue shirt and wide pants outfit

I wore a sky-blue shirt with long, flowing black wide-leg pants. I carried a decorative backpack and wore white shoes. Just thinking of a shirt and slacks brings to mind an office look, but seeing it like this, it looks great for a weekend outing too. A single bag really changes the vibe, doesn't it?

Wide-legged pants are great because they are comfortable, but you might worry that wearing a baggy top will make you look bulky. Go Hyun-jung’s shirt ends around the hips, which accentuates the long lines of her pants. If you want to wear a relaxed fit in your styling for women in their 40s, try matching the length of your top first. It is an easier way to balance your proportions than simply choosing a smaller size.

This would be great for a fall travel look. Just make sure to check the hem with your shoes on! You don't want to go out looking stylish only to come back sweeping the whole neighborhood floor, haha.

Go Hyun-jung's shirt layering and belt styling

Looking closely, I see another layer of white peeking out from under the shirt, with a bright inner layer underneath. Leaving the front open prevents the neck area from feeling stuffy even when wearing multiple layers. The silver earrings and bracelet also complement the bright shirt naturally.

The belt is the key point here. This is the most important part. By tucking the inner layer into the pants and exposing the waistline, it provides balance even to wide-legged trousers. When looking for a slimming outfit, people often reach for black clothes first, but tucking in your clothes like this is also worth considering.

Of course, on days when I'm self-conscious about my stomach, I hesitate even to tuck it in. In those cases, try leaving the inner layer slightly untucked and covering the sides with a shirt. If it's an office look, you can also switch to an inner layer with a less revealing neckline. It's nice to be pretty, but it needs to be comfortable while sitting and working so that you'll wear it often.

Autumn Casual Look Seen Through Go Hyun-jung's Check Jacket

The atmosphere changes when wearing the plaid jacket. I matched the dark t-shirt with pants in calm colors, but since the text on the t-shirt is slightly visible, it feels less formal. The jacket also doesn't fit tightly, giving it a relaxed feel.

If you bought a plaid blazer but only took it out for important appointments, you could wear it like this. You know those days when wearing a blouse underneath feels a bit too much? On those occasions, just try pairing it with a printed t-shirt you usually wear. It's time to bring out that jacket you've been saving for the weekend!

Autumn fashion for your 40s doesn't always have to be reserved. There are days when you dress fresh in a bright shirt, and days when you spend the day calmly in a jacket like this. Seeing this outfit makes me want to browse a bookstore. Though, I ended up looking at clothes longer than books.
