Neither are you under 30 CLKD, boyfriend or not. 

I also wear jeans a lot but not ones that look as if they have been sprayed on or slouch ones. They are for the likes of my daughter who is tall and very skinny.

Trying to achieve a look that is not mutton dressed as lamb.

Skinny jeans are not for older women.  Even if you are slim. Definitely for the younger ones.

[Ju Ju]

Ooh! Very judgemental! Time for some of my naughty words?

[Hurdity]

Well I wouldn't lay down the law about this ....

Let's wear what we like and feel comfortable and confident for heaven's sake!!! Age is immaterial!!!!

I'm with JuJu on this one! I'm 61, short fairly slim but not skinny by any stretch, and wear all sorts of jeans and leggings (latter mainly under long tunics either tucked into boots in winter or cut off in spring/autumn), and mainly very fitted narrow jeans/canvas equivalents - are these skinny jeans? Maybe! Sometimes looser ones/cut-offs. I also wear shorts of all lengths in this weather and including very short ones! These come out at the first sign of sunshine in March (not to the supermarket  ) but all the time when camping if hot and at home. Mine have to be low waisted to avoid the embarrassing lack of wasit and how it spills over (yuk!).

I will never be dictated to by anyone about what I should wear at my age, and trust my own judgement when it comes to fashion!

Let's grow old disgracefully and not worry about all of this.

Yes - naughty words....

Forever in blue jeans here. But definitely not the ones that only come to hip level = they seem to fall down all the time and I'm forever hitching them up.

[Linsey44]

Women should wear what they like, when they like and how they like and shouldnt give a stuff as to what anyone thinks as long as they are happy. 

I love my jeans which are all different shapes, colours and styles depending on how I feel or where I am going.

Also love cargo /combat trousers with vest tops and cosy hoodies.

[CLKD]

I have a pair of jeans on today that I can walk out of  due to not putting a belt round .........  ........

I would love to feel comfy in boots because I love the tucked in Autumn look but my feet are always cold in them 

[Trey]

I wear all manner of jeans.  I have very small hips and slender legs and can and do wear mid low rise and never give it a thought.  Never too tight or crotchy. But I wear large loose tops as I haven't been so blessed as to be slim on top. 

I'm with Hurdity, et al, and wear what I please and actually get nice comments and I'm older by far than any of you.

After the death of my husband I've reset priorities and I don't give a damn about clothing, only the people who are wearing same.  I love to dress for fun and try out different looks. 

[honeybun]

Yes we should wear what we want but there are some cuts of jeans that look better on younger women unless you have been incredibly lucky to have the body of a 20yr old at 50+.
I don't, so leave the super skinny and boyfriend jeans look to those who can carry it off.

Oops, didn't mean to upset anyone.  Sorry if I did.    .
Just to clarify, there are skinny jeans and very skinny jeans.  The very skinny jeans (that are that tight and close fitting that you can't get them on or off) I meant are are not suitable for older women (in my opinion). 

[honeybun]

I have had to pull the super skinny ones off my daughter, usually in changing rooms when she has got stuck   .

Anyone remember getting in a bath of water to shrink jeans to shape. That would have been in the 70s. Oh to be young.....and skinny again

I'd love to be able to wear jeans but sadly I'm too um big!   They are so handy though as yu can dress up or down and look fab in No time. In my thinner days I used to wear jeans all the time now it tends to be Jeggings in autumn and winter with long tops.  Summer - well I struggle especially in this heat - usually cropped trous and t shirts.  If I ever lose weight I will buy jeans - not skinny ones or anything like that just nice flattering ones

[Rowan]

I couldn't wear jeans in summer, loose linen crop trousers or shorts and pretty tops, in winter I have those pull on stretch jeans ( the ones from ASDA are good) and Tunic tops and Jumpers.

I alter the jeans from the knee down to make them slimmer so I can wear ankle boots ( usually laced up the front) and the hem of the jeans rest on the top of the boots,

I have always worn jeans and probably always will  I liked jeans that accommodate my sticking out bottom, I am sure Jeans use to be better shaped then they are now, that's why I like stretchy ones. Probably the more expensive ones do. My sister is a different shape to me and she has a flatter bottom so she can get away with wearing any type of Jeans.

[CLKD]

Oh Honeybun 'we' were laying in baths or running into the sea to shrink jeans well before that  - that is, my cousins, older friends, Dad would never allow me in trousers and I well remember him not starting the car because I was wearing 'jeans': Mum had bought me a pair of pale coloured cords hoping that he wouldn't notice  .  So I HAD to go and change otherwise we would still be sitting there 

If I had ever tried to wear 'boyfriend' jeans then they would have fallen straight down ..........

[Suzi Q]

Following on from the 'should older women have long hair?' thread I wondered what you ladies think about 'older' women wearing jeans?

I have 10 pairs 4 are day to day jeans
4 are designer Jeans I wear at night
2 are Black jeans 1 cheap pair for day 1 designer pair for night
I dont own any dressed and have 2 long skirts thats it
So for me its JEANS every time even in tropical Queensland in the summer
