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

A mum of one of dds friends wore it when we went shopping for prom dresses. She looked really good. She's in her 40s

Why is flattering seems as owing someone something?? Surely wearing something flattering is just wearing something that looks good? I wear things that flatter my figure as opposed to a sack because it looks better and I like my reflection in the mirror not because I’m trying to impress anyone or feel I owe society.
Have I missed a new strain of feminism?

Me too! I'm always the oldest but I can hold a plank the longest <preens in her long grip socks>

So what IS the fashion then for those of you saying it isn't anymore?! It's all very well saying that - but without telling what women are actually wearing instead it's pointless

I do it all the time, who cares what other people think. I bet half the people on here who say it looks stupid are hardly likely to be icons of fashion.

Ultra wide leg baggy trousers, flat trainers in London.

Trend is over up here in Scotland

You've missed out sock detail....

Of course you can. So weird people think you can’t

Because some people don’t choose their clothes based on how attractive they make them look to other people I guess.

They’re probably the ones on the Toast threads 😁

It's a horrible look on anyone. Don't do it, OP. It cuts your legs off so they look shorter and fatter! Black leggings with black socks underneath, hidden, is much more flattering.

And that’s fab! You do you, as the kids say. Some people aren’t bothered about what they look like in a mirror though, and don’t feel the need to wear anything ‘flattering’. I’m not saying that’s me, I also like to look as good as I can, but that doesn’t mean I think everyone has to be like me. Some people choose their clothes based purely on comfort and practicality. Some people choose based on current fashion, whether it objectively flatters their figure or not. All of those things are ok.

I think this trend is over, no?

On people with long legs it looks fine

I thought it was well over as a trend. Middle aged people adopting these “looks” always kills them stone dead.

I don’t understand the problems people have with trainer socks, unless either the socks or the trainers are not a good fit.

I think it just looks sporty. I quite like it. But - and I know this is judgemental - only if people have slim or athletic legs.

OP if you are sporty, I'd say you are not too old. But otherwise, wear fashions that fit how you live.

Very wide trousers, or barrel jeans - long or short ones, short (3/4 length) trousers are also very wide
flats but not classic ballerina - so called glove flats
sporty ballet core flats like puma speedcat
slim profile not chunky trainers

Mumsnet is the only place I have seen this mentioned as a style or trend. Nobody dresses like it where I live (South Coast)

This is confirmation that the fashion industry is laughing all the way to the bank making fools and clowns of women.

@Catcatcatcatcat it's everywhere where I am- South Yorkshire. And a lot of full-body black Lycra things.
I'm built like a Brutalist car park, so Lycra isn't my friend!

I’m mid 40’s and I wear this! Mumsnet hates it, but having seen some of the stuff that gets raved about on the style and beauty boards, I’m really not interested in the mumsnet consensus when it comes to fashion!

Why follow a trend?

Leggings should only be worn at the gym.

I think it's probably over now OP. Although crew socks Vs ankle socks may well live on.
