Yes.

Now, are they OK for a 40yr old woman?

I bought some denim ones in Next, and have been wearing themm all week so please say yes.

As long as they are thick tights,I think they look lovely.

KatyMac · 11/02/2011 23:08

Umm - depends on the 40yo?

I know a 43yo who shouldn't wear them, but they might look lovely on you Blush

OP - yes, they're fine, but with boots/flats.

Mordecai - we need a pic please, so we can judge

MirandaGoshawk · 11/02/2011 23:09

Approve!

KatyMac · 11/02/2011 23:09

Oh yes thick, red or purple or red & black stripes

She is all leggy & it means I don't need to replace the trousers every 5 minutes as she grows

as long as they aren't cheek showing shorts, I think that they can look fab.

MordechaiVanunu · 11/02/2011 23:14

Um, I don't have photos.

Im a size 10 (but thats a Next size 10) i have big tits and fat arms but small hips and shapely legs.

I think Im OK, my mother saw me and didnt comment so cant be too bad.

of course thick tights and chunky wedge Fly shoes.

tomhardyismydh · 11/02/2011 23:15

yes they are ok for any age under 25 inmho. not a style im keen on but def not inapropriate. i did see a toddler with grey woollie tights with pleate detaile and denim dungeree shorts and a little floral blouse that looked very cute.

tomhardyismydh · 11/02/2011 23:16

what are wedge fly shoes?

CointreauVersial · 11/02/2011 23:16

Great for teens. My 9 year-old wears them all the time.

adamschic · 11/02/2011 23:17

Great for a teen or early twenty something.

I'm going to buy a new pair of denim shorts for myself when I go on holiday to celebrate my 50th. Grin

KatyMac · 11/02/2011 23:18

That's OK - I'd hate for her to look fuddy-duddy but I'd also hate for her to look too old/grown up
