Are these too young for me?
I've put pics from the site and my pics

Dd says the red top is for a 19 year old
She likes the spotty one but I would have to wear a bra. Would nude work?

Or should I just stick to what I know
Dd persuaded me that I could wear high waist jeans and a crop top at 47!!!!

I think the tops look great! They really suit you and your figure

Flangelica · 05/07/2022 13:55

I'm so shocked tk see negative responses! I think they both look absolutely amazing! You look lovely in both of them, I'm jealous! And I genuinely like them both too, but they look much better on you than they would on me.

Love the jeans, can you send the link, where do I buy crop tops that just skim the top of my jeans or skirts, most of mine are too long.

YungDumbThrills · 05/07/2022 13:59

If you like them and feel comfortable, wear them! Who cares what others think. I'm size 16/18 and love wearing drops and jeans :)

MiniCooperLover · 05/07/2022 14:02

I really like the first top, the second is a bit too fussy even for a slim figure like yours. The jeans are great though.

TomAllenWife · 05/07/2022 14:04

Thank you all for such lovely comments and for being really honest

I'm very conscious of my stomach so this is a first for me

Here's a link for the jeans

Your jeans & stomach look great.
You can definitely wear cropped tops but maybe plainer ones would be a little better.
Like the white/black jersey cropped vest or bralette under a linen shirt type thing.

doadeer · 05/07/2022 14:16

In a nice way you're quite busty so I think these make your boobs look gigantic - not a bad thing but just to be mindful of.

I wear lots of crop top but I have my jeans come higher than yours and more fitted round my bum

I would say they are okay but I bet you have outfits that look fab rather than okay

doadeer · 05/07/2022 14:17

If you want to keep spotty one you can wrap the tie around your bra to hide it

picklemewalnuts · 05/07/2022 14:21

I like the jeans and the spotty top. Think it looks great. Can you use boob tape instead of a bra?

Or get one of those low backed bras that wraps round the waist, not the ribs.

ArabeI · 05/07/2022 14:36

I like the back of the spotty top (minus bra) but don't like the front. It looks too fussy with the ruching, long sleeves and cuffs.

I think the crop-style tops are fine to wear, though

Blondbombsite · 05/07/2022 14:36

I don’t think it’s your age so much as they look a bit early 00’s Britney.

everythingssogrey · 05/07/2022 14:40

The could be. It depends how you look. MN is usually 'there's no such thing as clothes being too young for someone'

Well if you don't want to look like mutton dressed as lamb you'd do well to take heed. If you don't care then fair enough.

I'd take DD's advice here, as she is basically saying you look like mutton dressed as lamb and personally I don't want that. I'd rather go for stuff that suits my age. I've started getting much more elegant and classic things into my wardrobe. I wear a lot of skirts and t-shirts now, it's a nice mix of classic and modern and it suits me.

I get some direction from Instagrammers, women above 40 who are wealthy and show off really nice styles. You don't have to spend the same but you can achieve the same look off the high street.

I'm 40 and look very young and I would probably not wear the red one. I think the brown one is okay, more classic.

Staryflight445 · 05/07/2022 14:44

I think you have a lovely figure and don’t feel like the jeans flatter that at all. I think they make you look a bit square/ different style would be more flattering.

Dic · 05/07/2022 20:03

They aren't flattering and I'm guessing you've got a lovely figure.

5128gap · 05/07/2022 21:21

Neither of them look young to me. Just summery tops for anyone who suits that style (which you do!) How old is DD? If she's late teens/early 20s, you're probably much better guided by her, as MN often favours the very discreet and conservative and takes an unnecessarily firm stance on age propriety.

Blossomandbee · 05/07/2022 21:30

I'm not keen on the jeans, they remind me of the low cut bootcut ones of the late 90's/early 2000's.
I think both tops look nice on you, they would look good with high waist jeans. I'm not keen on the chest shape of the spotty one but a bra might improve that. I like the red one. I think you can carry them off, you have a great figure!

I also thought high waist would really compliment OPs figure too.

I think 'gigantic' is overstating it somewhat!

LondonQueen · 05/07/2022 22:13

You look great but those tops are really not flattering, cheap and dated styling. The jeans are a good look though, you could pair it with a black or white crop top and it would be a much better look.

Just a little, OP's bust is well proportioned not gigantic!

ThreeBrittany · 05/07/2022 22:17

Well I think you look bloody gorgeous in both tops & the jeans. I'm 32 and would love to look half as good as you do.

Keep it all, as long as they make you happy!

TabithaTittlemouse · 05/07/2022 22:19

You’ve got a gorgeous figure. Keep them, they look fantastic!

ThreeBrittany · 05/07/2022 22:28

I've just read through the rest of the comments. There is nothing even slightly trashy about the tops and jeans. They're literally casual summery outfits and the style is very 'in' atm.

Also, I don't get all the 'not flattering' comments. I need someone to point out exactly what isn't flattering in order to understand as I reckon the OP could get away with wearing pretty much anything.

Happierthanever91 · 05/07/2022 22:30

Definitely not 'too young' you look amazing! I'm not a massive fan of the tops (personal preference) but they look lovely on you, so do the jeans!
