The Noli Shop Jeans, Tweed Blazers and Silk Camisoles for Women Over 50

Some brands start with a mood board. The Noli Shop started with a mother. Slava Furman's family left the Soviet Union in 1989, when he was six, and landed in Miami. On the brand's own About page he describes his mother, Diana, as the kind of woman who wore one pearl necklace for forty years and never looked like she was trying. They started the business together in 2015 and ran it side by side for eight years.

 

In 2023 she stepped back, and he relaunched it as ready-to-wear for women over 50. Every design still gets the same test: would Diana wear this? If you remember the name Noli Yoga, that address now takes you straight to The Noli Shop, which tells you how far the brand has traveled.

 

What I like is how quiet it is. The branding is a small gold charm, a ring button, a tiny N at the cuff. Runs are small, fabric gets chosen before shape, and sizes go from 4 to 16 with Petite and Classic lengths cut for women from 5'2" to 5'9". It is also carried at Nordstrom. Picture her at a long lunch in Coral Gables, tweed jacket, champagne silk, a jean that fits like it was hemmed for her, because it was.

Denim is where Noli started to make its name, and it is the grid I would shop first. These jeans run $178 to $198, and the brand says its denim has four-way stretch, which is the detail that matters more than any wash. A jean that moves in four directions holds its shape through a car ride, a dinner and a walk back to the car without bagging at the knee.

 

The coated styles are the stars. The Aria Coated Flare Jean in Merlot is my favorite, and it is a better color than black for anyone who already owns black. The Elaine Coated Skinny Jean is the sleek one for under a long coat, and the Celeste Coated Slim Palazzo Jean in Champagne is the softer, wider version. Then there is the fun: the Hallie Crystal Jean, the Claire Palazzo Cuff Jean in Champagne Crystal, and the Marilyn Straight-Leg Jean in leopard, which is the piece that gets the compliment.

 

For everyday, the Merideth Wide-Leg Jean in indigo and the Aria Flare Jean in black do the heavy lifting. My practical tip: order your usual size in the Petite or Classic length that matches your height, not your old habit of buying long and hemming. What I would skip is the crystal jean if you need one pair to do everything. Start with the coated flare.

If the jeans are the foundation, the jackets are the reason people ask where you got it. This grid runs $228 to $278, and it is the most Diana part of the shop: structured shoulders, gold buttons, a bit of glamour that never tips into costume.

 

The Gabrielle Double Breasted Tweed Blazer in Espresso Multi and the Joane Tweed Jacket in black are the two tweeds, and either one makes a plain jean look intentional. The Cheryl Single Breasted Blazer comes in black and in a black leopard silk, and I would honestly buy the leopard, because a printed blazer over black denim is the easiest evening outfit there is. The Sybil Crystal Denim Jacket is the playful one, a jean jacket that has been to a party.

 

Then the fur trim. The Isabel Fur Trim Coat in Pearl, the Antonia Belted Fur Jacket and the Ophelia Fur Trim Cape are winter pieces for real winter plans: the opera, a hotel bar, a December wedding. In our fashion dreams, she throws the cape over a silk cami and the coated jean and walks into dinner like she owns the restaurant. What I would skip is buying a cape as your only coat. It is a second coat, a joy coat, not the one you wear to the grocery store.

The last layer is the one closest to the skin, and it is where fabric before shape really shows. These tops run $56 to $148. The Amelie Silk Camisole in black and the Yara Silk Camisole in Champagne are the two I would buy as a pair, because a silk cami under a tweed jacket is the whole Noli look in one move. The Brielle Crystal Tank in beige is the dressier take, with just enough sparkle to catch candlelight.

 

For more coverage, the Ana Crepe Blouse in Lynx, the Darcy Chiffon Blouse in black and the Colette Blouse in Champagne all have the soft drape that sits well under a blazer and looks just as good on its own with the wide-leg jean. The Gia Sweater in Pearl is the cozy one, and the Joana Knit Cardigan in Merlot, at $56, picks up the same merlot as the Aria flare, which is the kind of thing I love a small brand for.

 

A test worth doing: hold a cami up to your face in daylight before you buy. Champagne flatters warm skin, black flatters almost everyone, and the wrong neutral can wash you out. Picture her in the champagne silk, the merlot jean and one string of pearls, and you will understand why a son built a whole brand around his mother's closet.
