This is not me by the way? just wondering if anyone on here in their late thirtys wear them. Or is it a size issue?

No but I am wearing crotchless ones just now.

brimfull · 19/01/2007 22:39

my 15 yr old dd is wearing them right now,so as a rule I don't go for the same trends as her.But you'll be glad to learn that I am 44 and not in my late 30's

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 19/01/2007 22:53

Liesel, are they intentionally crotchless, or have they just rubbed away in the crotch area, as leggings are apt to do?

LieselVentouse · 19/01/2007 23:10

No - another reason.

nulnulcat · 19/01/2007 23:15

im 35 i wear them and a couple of my friends who are 38 wear them, usually under those floaty dresses that are just a bit too short for anyone over erm 20!

Bucketsofdynomite · 20/01/2007 16:28

I'm just baffled why people are wearing footless tights with pumps in the winter!

noddyholder · 20/01/2007 16:30

I am 42 this year and I wear them sometimes Someone will be along to lynch me I'm sure.They look nice with black full skirt and leotard style top and my fave leopardskin pumps

Noddy - yeah... it must be a brighton thing!

MABS · 26/01/2007 21:00

she does have great legs I assure you. I have footless lights too

Bozza · 26/01/2007 21:04

I am 33 and wear them. But it has just been a little too cold recently.

I was tempted today (trips from and to garage on foot for car which was in for MOT plus 2x school run at 2yo pace) to wear them with jeans and socks but it was not as cold as I first thought.

Mercy · 26/01/2007 21:12

To answer the OP, I think it's a confidence issue more than anything else. But yes I think size comes into that equation too.
