To Wear the Leggings White Socks and Trainers Trend now at 40?

[LunaSkyy]

I’m a young 40 if that’s possible but I have not gone for this because I think I’m too old but am I?
I really like the look.

Will it even be in trend now and what make or style trainers?

Not BU - wear it
Are BU - avoid at your age/ this season

Anyone remember back in ca 2000 was it when the young guys were wearing tracksuit bottoms with the ankles stuffed into their socks? 😂

I’m mid 50s, go running every day and am usually seen in leggings or cycling shorts with white socks. I’m not getting changed countless times a day and have no set time to run, so will put my running gear on first thing and then see how my day goes. I also wear wide leg trackies and trainers for comfort. I dress for myself, not anyone else, and really don’t give a shiny shit about anyone else’s opinion.

So what OP likes it.

OP wear whatever you like and don't give a second thought to being 40 or what people think of this trend. Life is too short - go for it.

It makes me cringe when I see anyone over about 25 doing it. But it's not that big a deal.

You don't owe anyone 'flattering'. Just wear what you want.

It's fine if you're going to the gym. I do it as the socks keep my ankles warm.

That's on3 that's passed me by. I do wear my sliders with socks though. Don5 care what anyone thinks, it's warm and comfortable

Wear what you’re happy with. It’s not something I like or would consider but it is an each to their own thing.

I was glad when this trend started as it keeps my ankles warm in my gym which is freezing for most of the year. I’ll be carrying on even though apparently it is no longer fashionable in the SE.

I do it at 55! I am very fit.

what’s next?

I'm Gen X and still wearing black normal socks that generally crumple down around my ankle 😆

the millennial ankle socks thing passed me by. And was too cold

Actually, I like big thermal / walking boot ankle socks with trainers for gym

Yes! Trainers or Rockport ankle boots where I was. Sports sock and usually Adidas tracksuit bottoms tucked in. Really odd trend!

Everyone younger where I live now (and i mean teens) seems to have moved on to wide jeans. It does seem to be women around my age who are wearing socks and leggings still. Unless it's to the gym.

Google says stirrup leggings are back, and capris.

50s prep, 80s dance and 90’s wide leg dance grunge

Ah, this question again re the socks and trainers. These threads really just remind me how bored/judgemental 95% of folk are.

Round here (NE) it’s the quite well off over 40s who are wearing the trend. We are always 10 yrs behind

I vote for leg warmers personally. Timeless

Do you mean you haven't seen any one wearing the leggings, white socks and trainers uniform?
Gosh I 'll need to move where you live!

I've never lived through an era where the fashion makes women look so much like clones as it does now.

Same where I am. It was a 'trend' a few years ago, whats left of it is the hangover.

It might have been popular or a trend, but it was not fashion. Fashion comes from the runways. While sport luxe was a trend for a season several years ago, it wasn't this look 😂

Wait, I wear my gym outfit like this. That’s the only time you wear this right?

You can wear whatever you like! I wouldn't, but I never wear trainers anyway.

I really don’t get this only wearing everything black/lycra, with no colour to be seen. My kids have taken to calling mums who wear this look ‘Spiderwomen’ and I can see what they mean! It doesn’t really suit anyone x

I had to look it up as I thought it must be something different to what I pictured in my mind if it’s an actual trend. I’ve never noticed it. The online images just look like a bunch of women going to the gym in their workout gear with their socks pulled up over their leggings. It’s inoffensive. Not exactly edgy or remarkable. So my reaction is, who cares?

Oh my goodness you must be one of the officiandos from the Style and Beauty forum!

Fashion? Trend? All I know is when I go out the door I see so many women trying desperately to look exactly like each other. It's so sad.

Oh stirrup leggings- I had a black pair in the 80s. Was hard to keep the stirrups under my feet 😆
I shall not be repeating that trend again.
