Is it the 1980s where you live? If so, buy it

Middleagedmotheroftwo · 09/07/2014 11:08

How old are you?

HellonHeels · 09/07/2014 11:11

See that's what's worrying me, Heels (nice name BTW!) - I was a teenager in the 80s. Am I just channelling my youth?

Am mid-40s now.

Mid 40s is too old for white denim, unless, possibly, you live on the French Riviera - where all mutton dresses as lamb.

(not that I'm calling you mutton at mid 40s - but all the 70+s will be in white denim in Nice)

ConfusedDotty · 09/07/2014 11:18

Naff, what would you wear it with?

HellonHeels · 09/07/2014 11:32

OK the image of the over-tanned, over-thin, cigarette-smoking older ladies of the Riviera has managed to still my lust for white denim Grin

I was going to wear it with casual summer dresses. Thanks all, for saving me!

Loved.my 80s white denim jacket, worn with pink dungarees... so a good look IMO! Op I have changed my mind, let's me and you BRING BACK the white denim jacket! But am not doing the perm I have to draw the line somewhere

I say yes! I am 48 if that makes me mutton god help us all. I wear white jeans all summer. A slim white jean jacket can look great

Walnut8 · 09/07/2014 13:29

Please no.

HellonHeels · 09/07/2014 13:42

Views are polarising!

It could look great with the right jeans and accessories.

Walnut8 · 09/07/2014 13:54

Whenever I wear white denim, I regret it (am early thirties).
It is naff.

HellonHeels · 09/07/2014 18:04

Yes, that is the sort of thing I meant Noddy It does look nice on Jessica Alba but she's younger, prettier and slimmer than I am Grin

Yes if you like it!

I'm 50 and not slim and I bought a lovely one in New York in May. I wouldn't wear it with white denim jeans as I think it would be he equivalent of double denim but I wear it with dresses and jeans and a denim skirt.
