just bought these jeans, yay or nay?

[nipersvest]

only jeans with destroy patches (their description, not mine!)

they are a bit tight but will stretch with wear. not sure yet whether to keep them, are they naff?, trendy?, am i too old? (43).

Er, they are totally not my style.

But if they're your style and you've got the body, why not??

I wouldn't wear those either

I don't like them sorry op.

at destroy patches.

Nay

I've had my eye on those for ages! Saw them on the School Gate Style blog. What size did you get out of interest? I ended up ordering these from Gap with 20% off which have just arrived...www.gap.co.uk/browse/product.do?cid=57387&vid=1&pid=000928936000

Will report back when I've tried them!

I don't think age is relevant, it's how you style them and whether they suit you.

With link!

Even my teenager wouldn't wear those! Sorry, they're not nice.

Nay - sorry

And here's the blog post: www.schoolgatestyle.com/2013/10/mad-jeans.html

I tried some similar ones from H&M but they were tiny and too short.

Very wit, do you read that blog?

I like them and I'm 37, would wear them with a chunky knit, and little boots.

At 43 yes.

Sorry, it's a nay from me.

No

Not from an am I too old perspective though they're just not my style

Well I quite like them, and patched denim is having a bit of a thing at the moment. For £25 I'd keep.

LOVE
i want the gap ones

Sorry, I don't like them and even if I did I'm sorry but I think you're too old for them. (I am similar age)

They're not my style but on somebody else I'd probably think they're nice!Do you feel confident in them?Age isn't really relevant in your early forties , I've seen women in their late forties look fabulous in skinny jeans, you don't have to start wearing chinos and baggy t shirts just 'cause you're not 20 anymore!

I love them, wish I had the legs to wear jeans like that.

I'd say if you're otherwise stylish, age is no barrier.

Nay.

If I had a pair of jeans that were in such bad condition that they needed to be patched to that extentd I'd bin them.

I have them and Love them. They were a bargain at £25 and I wear them a lot. Generally with converse & flat pumps. Also with heels for a night in the pub. Am 38 and do have the legs for them . Go for it.

i need a 30 inch waist

it is NOT to be

yep, i have been sniggering at the term destroy patches, sounds like something a toddler would have on their dungarees!

i ordered them after seeing them on school gate style, thought they looked nice and a bit, well, different

am supposed to be a funky textile designer so maybe i can carry them off.

i am a size 12 and just about squeeze into the 28 waist (i know avril from the blog got 29's). it's tight, but if i don't eat, it's doable

ordered them last week with the 10% off offer so were only £23.50.

oh i would want them to be restaruant friendly you see

too tight a waistband and i get tummy cramps

drnick, my waist actually measures 30 more than 28!! but by some miracle, i fitted into 27's in levi's so thought i'd give the 28's a go. the denim is quite stretchy and they sort of cinch everything in.

the legs are skinny though, they're more like jeggings than skinny jeans.

perks up then remembers is on shopping ban
