That’s it. Straw poll. I have a number in my head and it would be interesting to see if anyone else agrees with me.

I used to always say to DH 'oh, must be summer, the white pants are out' that meant jeans and those fecking ugly linen pants.

I've only seen this in the UK.

Pants where I'm from doesn't mean underwear.

I say 45+

Wear what you want. Why should others dictate what you wear?

Every time we go on holiday you can recognise the English women 'over a certain age' in their holiday white jeans.

Young enough not to have had kids; old enough to be post-menopause, your own kids are adults but they haven't given you grandchildren yet. So either 20, or late 40a/early 50s.

I have seen a gorgeous 17 year old in thrm who looker amazing.. she stuck in my mind and this question brought back her image in all white on a summers day.

Usually white jeans are worn by women 60+
I wonder why? Is it a menopause thing? Because i'd be terrified of surprise bleed showing.

In my house they would be filthy in 5 minutes.

My friend wore white jeans on a long haul flight and accused her husband of stealing her chocolate mint that came with coffee. He hadn’t, it had slipped between her thighs and melted all down her crotch... 😂

Danglingmod · 01/12/2019 11:30

Definitely 60+

You've told us now but my cousin (64) wears white jeans almost exclusively. Shes very skinny and looks great. I also think of liz Hurley.

Depends on the style I think. I've got very skinny high waisted white jeans, I'm 19. My nan has boot cut white jeans, normal rise, shes 60.

BrokenLogs · 01/12/2019 12:01

NotTonightJosepheen no, she was not. She couldn't have given less fucks about anyone's fashion choice and wore whatever she wanted.

I think it's odd that you think it's odd I might not like white pants, do you not hold any opinions on anything??

Old enough to know better OP!

I'm 40 something.

I suggest you wear a black coated pair of jeggings with a black top & Nikes like me

I am mutton.

BrokenLogs · 01/12/2019 12:18

😂 fucking hell

It's not a defensive act, or learner behaviour. It's an opinion, and one that DH and I shared. We both laughed about the white pants coming out every year.

It's actually odd you continually commenting...if you're ok with your white pants then wear them proudly. I, personally, aren't a fan 🤷

I'd guess that most women over 60 are long past worrying about that.
