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

@LunaSkyy I think it’s a great look, I live how the current yoof prioritise comfort.
wear it with pride

A lot of the mums who wear this at my kids’ school are 40 give or take. I’m 36 so not far off and I like it.

It’s very Katherine Hepburn 1940s around here. Wide leg trousers or skirts that come just past knee or mid calf.

DM boots or Mary Janes
Loafers, or those ballet flats with what looks like pleats in them.
Gazelles or Salamon trainers

Socks are ankle socks.

Katharine Hepburn circa 1940s is my favourite style!

The black leggings with and Nike socks combo looks terrible on me though. It makes my legs look even shorter, which I do not want at 5ft 2!

If you like the look, OP, go for it.
