Xmas night out tomorrow! Big diet fail ! Soo my skinny jeans are too tight ! In between sizes so if I buy new they will be a bit to big! I have bootcut next ones that are comfy fit but not sure if they would look dated ! Any opinions welcomed thanks ( I'm 50 .. 5.10 and size 12 jeans heading more to 14 ( hence next 12 fit and top shop / river island are a squeeze ! Shoes are red 5 inch heels

I don't think you can demonstrate something is cool and sooo 2016 by using a picture of Cindy Crawford!

What hubble said. Summery bootcut with wedges - fine. 5 inch red heels with bootcuts in winter (when it's damp and draughty) - no.

Can you wear a dress instead?

TheChippendenSpook · 17/12/2016 08:27

Wear what you feel comfortable in. I don't understand fashion anyway Grin

Cool? Do we still have to be cool at 50?

Can't we "just" be elegant, stunning and well put together?

None of my dresses fit :( can I wear my pyjamas and slippers ?;) shit it looks like I have to go shopping ...

Manumission - Exactly.
I got told how glam I looked in skinny black flares and heels on a night out recently. I'm 47 and felt fab. Obviously Mumsnet would have thought I looked awful. I'd look ridiculous in skinny jeans and heels.

Gloria on Modern Family wears them with heels and looks amazing, if that helps. Not sure about on a mere mortal...

Clutching at straws !! How about a jumpsuit? Or do I look like an overstuffed xmas pud !! What about shoes ? I have heeled sandals that are comfier ? Or should I stick to pyjamas and slippers ;)

THAT looks fab. Simple but the shoes really lift it somehow.

Bagina · 17/12/2016 09:07

Love it!

HubbleBubbles · 17/12/2016 09:08

Jumpsuit looks great OP!

callar black skinny flares are different from boot cut jeans!

Shizzy · 17/12/2016 09:10

That's gorgeous!

Helloooooitsme · 17/12/2016 09:10

Yes that looks really nice.

Helloooooitsme · 17/12/2016 09:11

I wore all black with red suede shoes at a recent Christmas do and had loads of compliments on the shoes.

Iagreewithmrsdevere · 17/12/2016 09:11

Any chance of a pic with the jumpsuit and sandals?

Itsalldramarama · 17/12/2016 09:11

Jumpsuit looks great just wear that! Shoes look good with it, have you got some jewellery to go with it, necklace or bangles etc?

FourToTheFloor · 17/12/2016 09:14

Jumpsuit and heels look good. Have a great night!

dancemom · 17/12/2016 09:17

I was going to wear flares and heels tonight! Can't wear skinnys as my top isn't long enough to cover any camel toe!

They are super long flares, touch the top of my shoe long, no way to wear them with flats long.....

Tell me it's okay....

You look fab. Just wear something flashy and eye catching around the neck, to liven it up and for proportion.

I'm 5ft 10 too...and want to say, good for you for wearing 5 inch heels. You look ace.

Bluntness100 · 17/12/2016 09:21

The jump suit looks lovely, go with that.

I'm in the camp that if jeans fit well and are comfortable then that's better than cramming yourself into a pair that don't fit or flatter, you should dress to make you look and feel good, not because something is fashionable.

Boot cut or flare though should come to the bottom of your heels, to the ankle and then heels is not a good look on anyone.
