If you are 40 something, do you wear denim mini skirts?

[PolyesterBride]

Just bought one because I have always had a short denim skirt for winter with tights. Bought it online and this one is a bit mini-er than I was planning (mid thigh rather than just an inch above the knee) and I'm not sure I can get away with it. If I was 25 then maybe but I'm 41. Will everyone think I'm mutton dressed as lamb? My legs are ok but not super toned and I'm short (5'2").

Does anyone else wear mini skirts in their 40s?

Nothing at all wrong with a short denim skirt especially with opaques and boots!!! I am 46 yes OMG 46!! and i wear ones that are A-line [ very flattering on a size 12 pear shape] The shortest i have is about 18 inches which is not really mini and i think it looks fine. I wouldnt go shorter though as i would feel uncomfortable in it personally. Im 5ft 5 so average in height. My legs are ok.

Sophisticated. I couldn't be sophisticated if I tried, so don't even try! I don't want to be sophisticated - it smacks of camel coats and honeyed highlights and facials and a touch of lipgloss and I am so not that kind of person.

i am 44 and wear denim mini skirts. not with bare legs, in autumn/winter with tights and boots.

I am a total fail at sophistication. Then again, I still play synths in a really noisy band, which is probably age-inappropriate in and of itself.

Twinkelstein do you mean unsophisticated is not your own personal style (which is fair enough) or that you disapprove of it?

I must admit Remus has me pretty much spot on...

I have suede mini nobby and it's fab. Nothing wrong with suede.

I wouldn't take notes on sophistication from a Two Pints viewer.

Aha - my spidey senses are clearly well honed tonight!

Flo I don't give a bugger what anyone else wears, I disapprove of it for me.

But I have no idea what Two Pints is.

Two Pints is ace.

Two Pints of Lager and Packet of Crisps.

i dont like them any more and I have concluded its age for me, and they look a bit grubby
dont like opaques/leggings with them

I just don't think they are chic.
I do have a couple of white ones I wear in the summer

Ok. Some think it is wrong because it is too young. Others because it is too dated. Or something you only see on people who dont know it is outdated. Some think is is too casual and/or unsophisticated, others that it is too dressy.

Jeezus

I have to admit that I'm not crazy about denim miniskirts. I have one, somewhere (it's a bit stretchy) but I haven't seen it in a while. I prefer to wear black knit with some spandex in them so they are form-fitting. I don't care if someone else my age wouldn't.

Grubby? Very few people achieve chic I don't think it's what you wear but how you wear it

Lol at 'not chic' - whenever anyone says chic it makes me imagine Mark Francis from MiC what would he say to denim minis, that's the real question.

Fair enough, Twinkelstein. If you like sophisticated then I can see it's probably not the look for you!

Chic always makes me think of Le Freak. But then I am way old.

Out on the floor...

God yes chic is a band. Mark Francis hilarious

Woah. The chic word has riled

I wear one in summer. It's way shorter than that one. I wear with a pair of sandals. I am very tall and slim though [Wink]

the thing is, I loved them for years. then POOF, gone, Caught a glimpse of myself and thought 'woah, not any more'

I wear them summer and winter, proper minis though 6-8 inches above my knee, I wear denim shorts the same way. I don't give a fuck.
