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 ?

I don't think they look awful on anyone. In fact I love my jeans. But I wondered if there comes a point when (be honest) you get too old for them.
For context I am 72. And happily still wearing jeans. I buy them from Cotton Traders. But the new style wide and flappy are awful. So there.
I'd better stock up with the traditional jeans I think !
Thank you all for the comments, I've had great fun reading them. X

My MIL is 70 and wears jeans- and looks great in them!

I’ve been wearing jeans since about 1967. Why would I stop?

Yes dgps never wore them

dgm never liked wearing trousers

they didn’t seem to wear or own casual clothing like we have itms

I would still look like me, but a more decrepit version of me 😁

Leggings ? Only if you don't have a big bum ! 😉

Jeans were fashionable for women in the late 1950s……..

At what age - when you die.

Nowadays, never. But I do miss the smartness of my grandparents’ generation. My grandpa wouldn’t dream of not wearing a tie, except perhaps at the beach. And it feels weird that my children’s grandparents still dress so ‘young’.
Partly I think it’s missing them, and that sense of propriety, and partly too it is that my parents generation, who tore down all those rules are now so old. I mean how are people like Paul McCartney and Jane Fonda and Bob Dylan and Faye Dunaway and David Hockney and Jack Nicholson now in their 80’s?!? How are other’s like Donald Sutherland and Marianne Faithful dead? These people who were so young and free and urgent.
But, I suspect it’s been like that always.

Agree!

All I'm going to say is Denim jacket.....
Apparently they are outlawed now 😋

I shall probably wear mine in my coffin aged 110

Polyester? Never 🤣

This is a weird media type question. Don’t like it. Not playing.

My friend was cremated in her white jeans

My mum still looks good in jeans in her 70s. Admittedly she now buys them from Cotton Traders because she's shrunk and they do VERY short trousers, but she looks grand and comfortable. She's definitely not trying to cling on to her youth, she's fully embraced being old.

No, you just have to get the right cut and shape!

I have always been this shape and I have always worn jeans

104. I will then settle into my jogging bottoms.

My mum is mid 70’s and her and her sister wear jeans all the time. I don’t think it would occur to them not to. They usually wear slim straight ones but they’re both fairly tall and slim and look great.

There will always be traditional jeans.

Yes

my grandad was wearing a jacket on the beach with a shirt in early 70s

My mum (75) says she'd rather look like mutton dressed as lamb than mutton dressed as mutton!

71. Live in jeans. Can't see it changing.....

Op your 72, it was a generation or two before you that became the beige polyester ladies. The generation that saw jeans as work trousers or waist high overalls!

Stick with hip n trendy jeans.
