Can I still wear jeans at 70

I go between M&S Jeggings and Levi's, but the treat is a visit to London Levi shop and being advised on size and fit ? Never been let down yet!
The staff really know which ones suit best, love jeans.

I have always worn jeans through out my 70years, my friend of 74 informed me that you shouldn't wear jeans if you were over 60, and she was wearing a very jazy pair at the time!
Da! Go ahead girl we can wear what we like and behave as we like we have earned the right.
Long live jeans, wine etc etc ?

I have always hated jeans and never wore them when I was young. Why wear what everyone else wears, like a uniform? I did buy a pair a few years ago and only wear them in the house and garden, or for a walk. I am 70 too and I don't find them very comfortable. I don't even think Mary Berry looks very appropriate in them, although she has the figure for them. Just my opinion and most of my friends still wear them, but I just don't feel right, even though I am fairly slim.

I like Sainsbury's Tu range of straight leg jeans, which fit well. If I live to be 90 I'll probably still be wearing jeans.

Hell yes. Wear whatever you are comfortable in.

You wear whatever you like and don't let anyone tell you you're too old/they don't suit you or anything else. I live in jeans/leggings because they are comfortable and not expensive and since I am a full-time carer I rarely go out socially, when I enjoy putting on a dress/bit of lippy etc/smarter shoes - viiting the local corner store is normally quite an adventure! - so just please myself.

Remember the Neil Diamond song - Forever In Blue Jeans. That's us.

LesleyC those are exactly DH's thoughts too! He has never owned a pair of jeans. Someone in a pub once said to him that they couldn't ever join the Forces because they wouldn't like to wear a uniform - DH pointed to the man's jeans then said 'look round the pub, you're all wearing a uniform!'.

I don't think jeans regardless of age look good on any woman. They should only be worn for indoors or for gardening. Few women have the figure for trousers and I am sure that women don't look at their backsides in the mirror.

Oh dear, I usually wear trousers and rarely wear a skirt.

No, I don't look at my backside usually but I did see a photo of it recently hence the diet

Of course you can I wear the Per Una ones straight leg type and they look fine with boots. My children always buy me a couple of pairs for Christmas so they can't look that bad on me, otherwise it would be "oh no mother"!!

I wear Jeans all the time I am 67 years old and getting close to 68. I don't have much of a social life,but if I go anywhere nice then it is black trousers with a pretty top. I do not have much money with the huge expense of xmas just gone. I say wear what you want and feel comfy in,folk have better things to do than check out what we are wearing

Bijou, your well meant I,m sure, comments on jeans are exactly what prompted me to ask my post , but luckily most of the other ladies are positive about wearing jeans when older, ,There are more women looking good in jeans than not, Each to their own I say ,

I love my jeans (always dark indigo) but recently bought some LandsEnd "sport knit cords" in their sale. Yes elastcated waist, but slightly tapered legs and these are the most comfortable trousers I have ever known which still look smart
I got black, grey and dark navy and they were only £13 a pair - result!!

You must have bought the last ones MawBroon

I am 66 this year and live in jeans. I have absolutely no intention of stopping, ever.
I wear them to be smart too.
I look best in bootleg ones.

Now I'm retired I wear jeans most days so if I can't wear jeans when I'm 70 I'm going to be going round in my knickers !

Can't see why I wouldn't / couldn't wear them .

Nearly always jeans, usually straight-leg, often jeggings, I like ankle boots and flat pumps so they go together. I do own trousers too but they are usually for when I feel the need to dress up. I'm 76 and don't see what age has to do with anything. I think because so many people of all ages now wear jeans they don't identify with any age in particular. ?

Don't think I'll be seen in ones with torn knees any time soon. What on earth are they all about?

No-one is too old for jeans, as long as you pick the style which flatters you. Now I am retired, I wear M&S jeggings most of the time. I usually pick them up in the M&S outlet and have lots of colours. They are so comfy and the style suits me as I am a small lady. They look good with either sweaters or tunics. In winter I wear boots, in summer loafers or ballet pumps.

I don't think anyone,men or women, however skinny they are, looks good in jeans over the age of fifty.

Skinny women sometimes think they can get away with it but there is usually a change in tummy shape after fifty which is not a good look.

Other types of trousers are OK, but if a woman is at all hippy, as most of us are, a long top to cover the lumpy bits is essential.

Rubbish!

I really don't care varian - I feel good in them. You can dress them up and down. Shape matters but age doesn't. People generally wear the type that suits them - same with a top.

My first thought Anya - but I thought better of just putting one word- glad that someone has!

Wear what you like over 50yrs - sad that you have to be stereotyped into an 'over 50s look'.
