Not when yo're wearing them with a long top/dress and have what sounds like nice legs, lol!

I wear leggings under a mid-thigh silk shirtdress. The dress is dark blue and the leggings are black, so quite subdued. I feel quite confident. I'm 44. I think if your legs are good--why not!

WHo cares what other people think, wear what you want.

You sound like you have nice legs so go for it!!

if you've got good legs then you're fine. If you have cankles (like me) then no. 42 is NOT too old for anythig if you wear it with confidence.

even with cankles, if you wear knee high boots you should be ok
