Wear what you want when you want. Nobody cares.

imshapedlikeatoenail · 22/08/2022 20:34

Not at all, go for it.

Malie · 22/08/2022 20:34

Depends how much you look like the girl in the picture!

Iloveacurry · 22/08/2022 20:34

Of course you can. I’m 49 and I’d wear them.

Fiddlersgreen · 22/08/2022 20:34

I’m 38 and I’d wear them if I felt I had the figure for them. Which I don’t lol

ForensicFlossy · 22/08/2022 20:35

Not at all, they are great.

mum11970 · 22/08/2022 20:35

Nope not too old for those. I saw a woman, who looked in her mid forties, wearing daisy dukes and high heels just the other day. She definitely looked too old for those.

bakehimawaytoys · 22/08/2022 20:37

They're fab, go for it!

YesitsBess · 22/08/2022 20:37

Those are fab and you should buy them and wear them!

ZenNudist · 22/08/2022 20:37

They're fine. Skinny a bit of a dated shape ATM. Like the colour. Bizatre you think youre too old. Not sure why you think they wouldn't be suitable other than if you look fat in them.

jackstini · 22/08/2022 20:38

I'm 50 and I would
Go ahead if they suit your shape/style!

Arnaquer · 22/08/2022 20:41

Youngsters don't wear skinny jeans any more

Comedycook · 22/08/2022 20:41

Why is this even a question?!

What do you think women in their thirties wear? Knee length pleated skirts and twinsets? I mean seriously...can you wear jeans at 38? Mad you even ask to be honest

Purplecatshopaholic · 22/08/2022 20:42

I would wear those and I’m older than you. Go for it!

cleowasmycat · 22/08/2022 20:44

48 and might get some!

galletti · 22/08/2022 20:45

59 here and yep I would.

PatsyJStone · 22/08/2022 20:46

Hell no! 38 you're positively young

Ginandcrispsarebliss · 22/08/2022 20:47

Definitely wear them. I am 50 and I would.

Timeforanewnamenow · 22/08/2022 20:49

Definitely not too old. Any age could wear them. It’s more about whether they suit your shape and that’s not an age thing

wellhelloitsme · 22/08/2022 20:49

You're 38, not 100!

And even if you were, they're completely inoffensive jeans not a leather chaps that say "I am 28 years old" on the leg!

It was more the zips on the legs rather than them being jeans. I saw a mum on the school run wearing nearly identical ones but I'd guess she was 10 years younger than me.

Skinny's are dated.

What would you wear them with? Trainers or boots? A plain top?

PatientlyWaiting21 · 22/08/2022 20:51

You are asking if you are too old to wear skinny jeans? My mother who is about to turn 60 wears them. How is this even up for discussion?!

Untrue

leccybill · 22/08/2022 20:58

I'd like them more if straight leg and I'd definitely wear them, I'm 42.

godmum56 · 22/08/2022 20:58

I am 69 and you will rip my skinnies off my cold dead legs. I have got a big bum but nice legs and ankles and neat feet. I refuse to go round in wide leg abominations that make me look like the south end of an elephant going north. I can't wear ballet flats and live in crocs but for posh I wear them with trainers in summer and all kinds of flat boots in winter (can't do heels, my knees are bad)
