28's not too old to do anything stylewise imo. Ok maybe crop tops if you've had babies

Today I am wearing grey cord skirt, black jumper, black opaque tights and tan suede converse. I am 44. So shoot me.

God I hope not - if it is, how about 50!

i'm 24 and seem to get away with it..... that said i also tend to wear army shirts as jackets and baggy jeans so i'm sure there's a whole crowd of other mommy's rolling their eyes every time i walk out the door with the dcs

Jeezlouise, girl, get some perspective. Some of us are nearly 45 and wear Converse.

I'm old enough to be your mum.

I think you can if you give the look a more feminine, groomed twist.

38 - boots - only with jeans/trousers tho.

I'm 43 and wear DMs, New Rocks, hoodie tops with skulls on and leggings. And anyone who doesn't like it can get stuffed. WHy on earth would anyone worry about what a load of morons thik about your clothes?

What's with the need to look groomed? I can never manage that and I doubt very much I'm going to start to suddenly acquire it now. Unless I suddenly sprout a blue rinse, of course.

Oh, it would never have crossed my mind that converse had an age limit!

I feel too old to wear jelly shoes in the sea but no, not too old for converse!

Mine are bright red and I also have a bright green & yellow pair.

I'm 35, 0r 36, I can never remember which!
