to think there's no upper age limit to wear jeans?

[RandomGeocache]

My mum has always had some weird ideas about what's age appropriate for adults. Women over 30 shouldn't have long hair, for example.

She was telling me yesterday about having lunch with a friend who is in her 80s and turned up wearing jeans. "What's she doing wearing jeans at her age?" I suggested that she might be happy wearing jeans and comfortable in them and that there isn't an age limit. Oh yes there are, says Mum, "older people" shouldn't be wearing jeans.

Weirdo, isn't she?

It's weird isn't it? My mum and dad were born in the 20's, and had very specific ideas about some things, particularly clothing and hair. My mum never wore jeans or trousers, but then had worn so many beautiful couture dresses in the 40's and 50's, I kind of understand. Dad wouldn't "let" her wear them either, or work (!). Mum also had the short hair past 40 rule. In other ways, though, they were soooo avant guard. Very relaxed about sex and nudity, very open and honest. Lots of wild parties when I was young, and I mean wild, very bohemian. I just never understood the dicotomy.

Thank you those who replied to my comment. I haven't seen such posturing outrage since Noah was a lad
Hilarious.

My parents are mid 70s. They always where jeans. This generation grew up wearing jeans, why should they stop now?

Of course there is an upper age for wearing jeans. I would say around 120 years of age.

I'm just browsing floral crimpolene dresses and pineapple knit acrylic cardies as I type. They'll go a treat with my cauliflower perm and sensible sandals.
Anyone want a mint?

I'm not wearing jeans because I look good in them. I'm wearing them because they're comfy, hard wearing, and have decent pockets. Fuck wearing clothes for other people

My mum wore jeans pretty much til the day she died (at 75). She looked great always :)

I recently turned 30 and decided I'm living my 'fuck it 30s' which basically means I'm going to do what I want irrespective of how it might be viewed socially (obviously nothing illegal).

This has mainly transpired into a violet balayage, wearing many t-shirts of cartoons (newest addition is a fabulous Care Bears t-shirt from Zara) and buying a Nintendo Switch and finally playing Pokémon.

Life is for living regardless of age. Nothing tickles me more than seeing the older generation with pastel hair colours! Saw a magnificent older lady with pink hair- she was amazing.

TBF they weren’t outraged so much as taking the piss out of the token thread twat.

I'm in my 70s and still wearing jeans. Skinnies, even, although I know they are supposedly out of fashion. But I'll keep on wearing them because as most women of a certain age know, the legs are the last to go. 😀

My Granny wore jeans up until her dying day, she was 84 (and she looked fabulous)!

I wouldn't eat a 16yr old egg either......

Oh god! I live in jeans! Can't ever imagine wearing anything else. Maybe I will but at the moment at 40 I will continue 🤣

Came to post the same thing.

I wear them because they are practical, comfortable and hard wearing. I dress for myself, not the approval of strangers.

me 66 OH 67 Both biker styling here T shirts with grim reapers and angels jeans biker boots black leather biker jacket me just above elbow length hair him just below shoulder length hair, zoom round on a 1300 cruiser motorbike we dont care i love my jeans, only time i wear lightweight trousers and tops is on holiday as jeans arent really for hot weather

My parents are both 76, though dad will be 77 in a couple of weeks. They both wear jeans a lot, although dad can usually be found in shorts, whatever the weather. He still rides a motorbike too, and camps on the IoM for the TT every year (unfortunately DM not well enough to leave for 12 days this year )

MIL is convinced the only reason women wear any kind of trouser is because of the cold British weather. She believes women should not wear trousers full stop.

I've been trying to find some info on when women first started wearing trousers Britain just to educate her a bit.

69, live in jeans and give no fucks what my arse looks like.

One of my relatives is 90, and she still wears jeans. She looks absolutely fine in them.

I stopped wearing jeans as I never really found them comfortable and then had some menopause weight gain and though no, I can't do it anymore! 😂so have to admit I now love an elasticated waist! My first thought now if I want to buy clothing is "will it be comfortable".

Ohh @PuppyMonkey
I think you’ve just found a source of money for the whole NHS England. We just have to stick to fines and all problems will be solved. There are hundreds of thousands of repeated offenders lurking around in my area (including myself) I think the addition of jackets will help us to solve the shortage of dentists.

God no! I'm 58 and wear jeans daily( not the same pair obviously!)
However I don't work and find them comfortable

I'm wearing jeans right now. Totally tempted to get a Twix now and neck it on the way back from the shop.

I've always had short hair though, it's a soft kind of pixie cut
Anything longer drowns my face

No upper age limit, indeed the people who can look the worst can be younger people, depending on the style adopted.
