I’ve just seen a topic on another site where a member claims jeans are ‘inappropriate’ after the age of 35 !!

I don’t wear them all the time, but I love my jeans and will carry on wearing them if I live to be 100

What do you think ?
 

Are you kidding????j

Jeans are my wardrobe staple, my go-to for casual outings pretty much before any other choice. Now, granted, part of that is because I am not a dress person. Oh, I have them....cocktail dresses, sun dresses, maxi dresses etc, but my first choice is ALWAYS pants/jeans.
 
Actually, believe it or not, I did read an article some years ago about really upper-class ladies that would tell anyone that jeans aren't appropriate for "ladies" to wear. And, I would suppose that there are ladies out there that would say "I don't have jeans at all". For some ladies, jeans are too "manly" looking.

Both wife and I wear jeans and shorts, depending on the weather and where we are going. Here we go with a brand name again, but the only brand of jeans I wear is Wrangler Cowboy Cut.

Ladies jeans are tailored in a different way to mens'...

Well, not to burst anyone's bubble, but I wear men's jeans sometimes. There's a style of jeans called The Boyfriend Jean, a bit more loose than the regular skinny jeans, and cut differently than straight jeans.

I'm tall, and still relatively slender, and I can wear that style. But I hate to pay the price for those jeans...women's jeans are EXPENSIVE! and I've solved that particular problem by just wearing Ron's jeans! They're cut a bit differently than a similar women's style, and I fill them out a bit more ;) but they work just fine!
 
I wish I could still wear jeans, I LOVE jeans. But I can't. They are too tight on my knees. I even tried one size larger than I wear, but still too tight on the knees and make them hurt terribly. I wear sweats in winter, shorts in summer, and the occasional "dress" pant. Rarely a dress, and if necessary, a long dress.
 
No jeans over 35??? I guess everyone deserves to voice their own opinions on things. :eek:ld: I grew up wearing jeans, not every day but very often, still wear them and will continue for the rest of my life as long as I'm able to dress myself and go out, not bedridden in a nursing home. Nothing at all wrong with jeans, some folks tend to be so judgemental.

 
yeaaaah !!!!....and even when your jeans are knackered...you can still put them to good uses

For 6 months of the year I wear shorts.
I have been moving away from jeans to cargo pants. I like the extra pockets. I am 85
None of my jeans are blue, they are tan, khaki or black.
What I fail to understand is "ragpicker jeans" favored by some folks who are old enough to know better.

Being short, I have always had great difficulty getting good-fitting jeans/pants. I generally wear leggings .. but not the skin-tight type.

I'm short too Pinky, I don't have any probs with getting good fitting Jeans.. I have leggings, but I don't wear them too often because I like to have pockets...

I was wearing cropped leggings yesterday and it was irritating me to have to scramble around in my bag every time the phone rang or I need a little bit of change..
