Another oldies question, sorry - Primark Super skinnies

I am experimenting with different styles at the moment as haven't a clue about fashion - which is obvious based on my question. I am 41, 5ft 5in and have good legs. I have bought size 10 primark super skinnies and while they fit I'm wondering are they too tight and a bit too teenagery (apologies to all teenagers). What do you super knowledgeable MNers think, should I embrace the trend and go with them or accept that I've missed the boat on this trend and go with ordinary skinnies.
Thanks a mil Thanks

Age is nothing but a number. I have a few friends in their late 30s and 40s who have them and look amazing. Embrace the trend

oi. less of the old Grin
I'm the same age as you, I also have size 10 super skinnies. No they're not teenagery if you don't wear tarty teenager-y tops. Like animal print, short and anything else "on-trend" (that phrase makes my teeth itch, btw) I wear mine with slouchy tees and boots, mostly. Or [non-teenagery] shirts. Go for it. we're as young as we're ever gonna be Grin

I tried these on today with such hope, they looked so nice with all the colours in a rainbow on the shelf, but it was major sausage leg for me in them. Sad

Wear them! I am 49 and would LOVE to be able to wear skinniest, but my saddlebags say no.

Or skinnies, even.
