At what age should you stop wearing jeans ?

[MarxistMags]

When are you too old to wear jeans? I've always worn jeans, tee-shirt, fleeces etc. I wore a uniform at work. I can dress up when it's warranted and scrub up quite well. But it's unnecessary and over the top for going to the chip shop !
I do wear nice tops and cardigans when meeting with my friend for lunch.
Is it time to embrace the polyester ?

Tunic tops go with nothing other than the bin

You do you 😁

Everything seems to have some polyester in it these days 😥

I look fab in jeans much better than in dresses and skirts. Mid 60s and get loads of compliments. Tend to wear Reiss, Mac or Levi. The cheaper brands I could wear when younger don’t look as good now.

Never.
My grandad wore jeans till the day he died.
my MIL has never worn a pair of jeans in her life because they’re for “young girls” (but I don’t particularly want to follow her fashion style)

Would they have been 'going out' gear or garden, working on the car gear?

My DGF was slightly older his jeans were strictly pottering around gear. Went to the local pub collar n tied!

Not 'going OUT out' but general day to day wear. Trip out into the Peak District type of thing.

I have jeans on most of the time, diy, gardening, etc ones and some I try and not trash by diy/gardening, etc for going out. I've always hated polyester since I was a child.

I intend to wear jeans til death and see age as irrelevant. I do not intend to 'rock' any of my clothing and just wear them. Coming up for 63.

It was a thing in the eighties, nineties. Don’t wear a skirt above the knee over 30. Don’t wear jeans over 40. So pleased that attitude’s been well a truly kicked to the kerb. Women look great in jeans at any age. Elderly people wearing jeans totally rock them from what I’ve seen. Wear what you like and ignore these pathetic outdated ideas.

It was madness wasn’t it. Have hair cut short at 40. Why did these rules exist

It was and it was pretty much uniform the way woman followed. It aged them so much! My mother had that tight perm, once a week at the hairdressers. And polyester of course.

Like that girl in the story who took off her scarf and her head fell off.

According to either The G or The O recently (can't remember which, it's an age thing), if you 'can still walk for 10 minutes' in your 80s you're doing well! So, maybe get an Uber to the charity shop. Seriously, my almost 80yr old friend swims three times a week, works out at the gym and walks miles daily. If she chooses to wear jeans why should anything or anyone stop her ?

Totally agree with this actually. No more polyester for me!

I don't think I was ever aware of any of these rules.

Never.
My friend Betty wore hers into her 80s. She liked Gap jeans best!

When you're dead.
Wear what you want and stop caring about what other people think. It's liberating.

yes in my mums generation (born 1950s) and before that
I’m glad you weren’t aware, they are ridiculous controlling expectations

Wear what you want for as long as you want. There is no cut off date for wearing denim.

Why would you stop wearing a certain item of clothing because you hit a certain age? I'm 61 and still wearing jeans.

Never too old for jeans. I'm 60 and wear them daily and will continue to do so

I am post menopausal and still wear jeans. I do wear tops that cover the waist though. I haven't worn anything tucked in for many years.

I loathe anything tight or clingy around my waist. Age has nothing to do with it

I almost 56 and wear jeans pretty much any time that I'm not wearing gym gear! And just to upset "the youth" who apparently think it's a faux pas these days, I only wear skinny jeans. They're comfy, look good and I like them 😁

Still wearing jeans at 73.
