I found this while googling and although it is not about jeans it is a comment about an older woman wearing what she wants. It was posted by a male

"hahahahaha!! The woman who lives across the street from me is about 65. She is probably five foot, five. And maybe....250 pounds. She is frequently seen, by me, in a bright pink tube top. Of course its not a sight I enjoy, but hey, she raised 5 kids, worked hard all her life, and wants to wear a tube top. I say good for her, not caring what a bunch of strangers think.

A courtesy "tube top day" warning would be nice tho."

My next door neighbour has been wearing calf length skirts for as long as I can remember, seldom in trousers though never jeans.  She actually looks smarter in trousers!  I've always been much more comfortable in trousers. My mother was horrified that I wore trousers so much & went out and bought me skirts to wear, which I only did when I saw her.
I've taken to wearing slightly above the knee tunics/dresses but only with either leggings or opaque tights.  Maybe I'm too old for that, but I don't care.  Hubby certainly doesn't complain, unlike revealing too much up top!  ::)

Makes me wonder why it ever was that women had to wear skirts and men trousers.  Maybe something to do with religion?  If the reason was that men wanted quick access to a woman's genitals in the stone age then why did they (the men) then go to trousers?  :-\

got to wear scarves too as I hate the ageing chicken neck look  :(

skirts are just too cold in the winter imho. Gets too drafty oop top and tights are never as warm as jeans and I hate tights anyhow. Tight on the waist and Norah Battying down the legs (same problem with leggings).
I did stop wearing shorts in the summer a couple of years ago as just thought they don't look right any more.
I now wear those 3/4 leg things or a skirt when it's hot (ie on holiday as it's never hot here  ::))

Oldsheep I wore dresses a few times when on holiday in Florida.  Never again very painful chaffing at tops of my legs and I had forgotten to take my anti-chaff powder.  So some of my antics trying to relieve my discomfort must have looked delightful!  ;D

My knickers never feel comfy if I wear skirts so guess what Himself suggests  ::)

I don't wear knickers either and never used to wear a bra. In the summer with a long skirt and t-shirt my then lover called it my sleazy-easy-access. Happy days!

Sort of slouchy baggy things.

Never to be worn by anyone over 30  ;D...Definitely for young skinny women.

I have scruffy jeans, smart jeans, skinny jeans, straight jeans and the only common denominator is that they have to sit on the waist to avoid them slipping down and rubbing drainage hole scars from an op 28 years ago. I normally live in jeans, but in this weather I'm wearing shorts. Just had the comment from a friend, "Oh, so you do have legs!" I'm 60. M & S jeggings and Per Una fit me well. If anyone said I was too too old, they would be surprised by some naughty words!
