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

That’s 90% of young males where I am.

If you like it wear it.
I think it looks ridiculous, like a giant toddler but you probably wouldn't like what I wear either so fair play.

Don't get me started on those ankle skimmer trousers which seem to be in fashion. There's a woman who reads the BBC news who always seems to wear them. Looks like her gardener accidently snipped 6 inches off the bottom with a pair of secateurs when they were hanging on the line.

If you like the look then wear it. Who cares what other people think?
Im in my 40’s and dress like this if I want to be casual and comfortable.

I’d say that look has gone now

Why?

I had a pair back then too. Hated them. They made everyone’s legs look oddly shapeless as if they had no knees. I bought them because I’m all for comfort, but they felt horrible. Maybe some of the new materials around nowadays will make them more comfortable. I won’t be finding out😆

I do it. I’ve got used to it now. I’d say 90% of the women at my gym wear longer socks.

It’s daft, people only started doing it to show off their branded Nike or Adanola socks.
Everyone seems to have forgotten you can still wear longer socks under your leggings. Your ankles are just as warm.

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

This is the worse thing about today’s fashion, the shops all sell a variety of the same thing & don’t really have their own handwriting anymore.

Socks & showing your socks is still a thing though.

It makes legs look shorter and stockier which isn't something my legs need any help with. However, people of all ages go for it so I don't think age is an issue.

It’s so comfy! Wear what you want!

On a previous thread someone pointed out that the beige/ brown ones with long socks make the wearer look like a barbecued chicken leg. Always a look everyone should aim for.

Wear what looks good, not what's on trend. Must agree with those who say it's not a good look on anyone.

Exactly. Wear what you want, when you want!
I tend to wear this type of outfit when travelling long haul as it’s comfortable and practical.

No, you’re far too ancient for any kind of fashion.

You're fine OP. Just please don't do it with crocs instead of trainers like folk do round my way 😂

I love proper socks - practical and comfy. Absolutely wear the look. It makes sense.

The age isn’t the issue, for me it’s the fashion trend. I don’t like it.

40 is young in my book!

You mean this? If so I don’t see the issue

I don’t think most people give it a second thought in real life! But if someone starts a thread about it, people are invited to share opinions🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm 64. When I'm going to Pilates or the gym I wear that look. I'm not crazy about it but it's what the other attendees (generally much, much younger than me) are wearing and it makes me feel like I blend in more.

Very common amongst the middle-class mums at school time near me, many of which are late 30s/early 40s! So I say go for it (I'd say go for it anyway though - who gives a shit what other people think).

Wear what you want. You’re an adult and it’s your body.

But I’d never been seen dead in white socks/trainers outside a gym personally. This trend is on a par with the shell suits of the past.

Same here, hasn’t been a trend for ages.
