Wanted some exactly like this for ages but are they a bit young?

Why are you taking it so personally? Did you invent skinny jeans or something?
How bizarre to be on a style board scolding people for discussing fashion.

Wear them.38 is no age at all.
I’m 49 and wear similar. I think they are pretty ageless. Going by the other posts though, I shouldn’t as I’m fat. Oh well. I wear what I enjoy wearing 🤷‍♀️

I'd wear them too and I'm 48.

38 is not old, of course you can wear it.

I'm not 'on a style board', I opened a post on a forum that appeared in 'active' where a woman thinks she is too old to do something.

And that something was 'skinny jeans'. Like women have been wearing for 70 odd years. And then the shaming about how much of a prole she was as she hadn't got the right silhouette as it hadn't filtered down to the masses yet. How pretentious is that?

You know this is totally bonkers right? Nobody cares.

Do you think men worry about how skinny their jeans are?

It's no wonder girls suffer such crippling anxiety when they are shamed for wearing completely bog standard clothes. Women should be ashamed of themselves for perpetuating this behaviour. Let women wear what they want and stop judging them. It's just fabric cut different ways.

Feel daft for asking now.

Thinking about it, all the young'ens are going around in baggy/flared trousers and cropped tops. Pretty much how my friends and I dressed in 1997.

I do know that skinnies are pretty much out but I think these will look ok with boots and a black jumper but if anyone can point me in the direction of some nice khaki jeans/trousers I'll have a look.

It can be really hard to dress in your late 30s. I've got a teen and don't want to look like I'm trying to be a teen but don't want to turn into my mum/mil either.

At 38? They’re just skinny jeans op?
why would it be an issue?

I think they’re awful but you’re not ‘too old’ for jeans…

I'm not 'on a style board'

But you are.

And as someone who has taken a deep and engrossing interest in clothing and fashion for more than half a century I find it offensive that anyone would imply women are so fragile and stupid that they should never discuss fashion as an evolving thing that both reflects and influences society.

It’s only in dictatorships or dystopian fiction that we see human beings all dressed in exactly the same thing with no room for variety. And where there is access to variety there must inevitably be creativity and response.

Style is about how one responds sartorially to the context one lives in. I have no idea why you imagine this should never be discussed.

Not at all, they’re perfect for 30s in my opinion - fashionable but practical. Buy them!

I know loads of men worried about how tight their jeans are actually, shock horror even men follow fashion too! I think you are in the wrong place hectoring and lecturing women for taking an interest in clothing and evolving styles, - you know like many have done since clothing and textiles were first invented.

Oh gosh really, @Petrar out of interest why di you think they're awful? Not offended just genuinely.

It's quite funny really how most of us want to look good but tastes vary so much anyway that even if we think we look our best only a handful of others will agree anyway 🤣

I think you are misunderstanding me. I'm not on a style board, I'm sat at my dinging room table on a internet forum where anyone in the world can post.

I say 'wear what you want'. I genuinely give no shits what she wears.

It's not me saying that the OP will have the wrong silhouette at the wrong time for wearing skinny jeans. That's you lot. Intimating she is some sort of oaf for wearing the wrong trousers.
