Am I too old to revisit docs. I loved them in my 20s. Crave to wear them at my age. If you do wear them how would you dress with them. Advice sought or if you think its a big No No why ?. Ps They are black.

I think they would look great but stick to wearing them with jeans not a long velvet skirt. :)
I used to have a neighbour that was about 60 who always wore DMs and ripped jeans and she managed to pull both of them off fabulously.

No you are not. I wore them as a student in my 20's then for years I after that, thought I was too old for them. I am now 50 and seriously thinking about getting a pair for the winter.

I was at a party recently and a woman there, probably early 60's had on black wide legged trousers with shiny red docs. She looked amazing.

I love my triumph 1914s, they are amazing. In fact I am contemplating a second pair (first pair are sheepskin lined, quite fancy a pair with tartan lining).

Ladies thankyou for all your advice I am damn well going to stride out in my docs Smile

I am 40 and I plan to wear my Triumph 1914s until the day I die. Go for it!
