denim skirt and leggings - too teenagery?

[netherlee]

I have seen quite a few people out and about in denim skirts and leggings and quite like the look myself. Trouble is they are nearly always teenagers or maybe early 20s and I am far into my 30s. I just wonder if it looks out of place on a slightly, um, mature women. What about a denim skirt and coloured tights. Don't want to commit fashion suicide.

Well I am older than you and I wear them I think denim skirts are similar to wearing jeans. If you have a slightly longer length skirt it looks more mature rather than a denim mini.

I have a short denim skirt which I wear with patterned wooly opaque tights (brown or black) and boots...hadn't thought about it being teenagery tbh. It is comfy and (I like to think) qiute stylish I am 37 by the way!

I may be wrong about this

I think it looks very teenagery and you would be better off with tights.

I wear a denim mini skirt, with black leggings, and Ugg boots! And I am 36.

I wear them, I'm 40 in 2 days time. I am Ignoring That Fact.

I am also ssshhhhh 40 and wear a denim skirt just above the knee I wear mine with wedge boots and wooly tights.

Thick tights are def better - I wear long boots and just above the knee skirt

I'm 39 and wear a black denim mini and black leggings for work. We have to dress in black and the skirt is the only black thing I have with enough pockets to hold all my bits & pieces, but I never feel like Whitney dressed as Britney

yes

I lived most of my last pg in denim skirt and leggings. DD is 3 weeks old and I am 41 tommorow. I am planning on wearing them today too (Tummy still sore from CS, need stretchy over bump type clothes).

Funny peculiar we have the same birthday, but you're a year younger.

I wear denim skirt, leggings or thick tights and calf length boots and am 42. Bite me :o

Yes

Very teenagery I'm afraid. If you are wearing leggings with boots I don't get it, might as well wear tights which are more flattering, the thick leggings just make your legs look fatter.
My daughter looks lovely in denim skirt and leggings, she's six.

Not so much teenager as just not a good look. See thread above for details

No think it's fine. I wear thick tights like cable knit style and they look fine. Although I did see a very short and wide lady the other day in a denim skirt that was literally a belt. I feared for her circulation. So length of the skirt is the most important issue I think.

Not really getting why leggings are considered bad and tights good, but then I'm just a humble man! In most cases, I couldn't really tell if a woman was wearing tights as opposed to leggings unless (a) the leggings were baggy or (b) I got up really close (which could cause misunderstandings!).

FWIW, don't think short denim skirts with leggings/tights is particularly teenagery.
