Can I still wear jeans at 70

In fact you could wear them with only one leg.

Do you have two legs? Then, yes you can wear jeans!

Whyever would you think you might not be able to? Age is an irrelevance.

I have to attend project meetings; and the first few I was so out of place in "formal" wear, people arrived in jeans & seemed to be less formal for the whole week. I was once told I was "power dressing" because I did NOT wear jeans, so at older than you I joined the informal group but I still wear a nice top & take sosmething else for evening wear.

What I love about wearing jeans is that you can change your footwear as many times as you like and still feel comfortable/smart/casual depending on your mood.

Boots, flip-flops, trainers, wellies, sandals, slippers, bare feet......jeans magically alter their feel to suit.

Boot-cuts are my favourite as they have more of a slimming effect.

Thank you ladies! I plan to make a beeline to M&S jeans dept as soon as I 'm in town. I regularly wear jeans (well over 70) but haven't even heard of 'bum lifters'. Blimey........can't wait! As for 'skinny'? Well I'm rounded but not overly fat and I wouldn't consider them. My observation is that the fatter and chunkier the legs, the tighter the jeans. Ugh! However, that's presumably how the individual is happy so - good for them. Great chat....

I'll be 70 this year and wear jeans every day, mostly black or indigo. Wear them with baggy tops when with the grandchildren , close fitting t shirts and jackets + scarf and earrings when out with friends. Jeans are universal. And i still get a lift from wearing the striped wide necked top, slightly shorter jeans and ballet flats....so Bardot (not that I ever looked like the young Bardot) but it's a classic look.

Too right you can. There are so many styles of jeans you can find a pair that will suit. When I reach my 70s my jeans will be my staple item of clothing. My granddaughter who is 3 says to me often oh granny your not old so why dress that way or act that way. If you have always worn jeans why change,

I am nearly 66 and wear jeans a lot, despite 5' 0" and definitely not petite!
I was delighted that GEORGE at Asda, straight cut, size 14, fit me well, and the waist is not tight so no muffin top. Hurrah!

Iam64 I need cheering up atm, close to the other thing atm.

Of course you can I'm now 70 and wear jeans and cord jeans

You can wear jeans at any age as long as you look smart, I am 75 and wear jeans all the time, M+S have straight leg jeans not too skinny, I enjoy wearing them. There is no age when we shouldnt wear jeans, good luck in your search!

Of course you can! If that's what you want. Personally I loathe jeans and never wear them but if I liked them I would. Age has nothing to do with it.

I am 70 and have 3 pairs of Next 360 degree skinny jeans and they fit like a dream. You are only as old as you feel there is no age limit in clothing in my opinion although I do not wear skirts above the knee any more.

Of course you can still wear jeans at 70 Lilypops, you can wear whatever you want. I will be wearing my jeans forever, not the ripped ones for me or the low-rise sort the younger people seem to like. (They look so uncomfortable with the crotch down by their knees). I like Per Una for smart and Monterrey for casual.

You never miss an opportunity do you ?

As a man I find a mature lady in a pair of well cut jeans very attractive. Well cut jeans can do wonders for a bum (cheers me up no end as well)

I'm early 60s, jeans are a staple part of my wardrobe, our generation have grown up wearing them and I think it's fair to say that there will be loads of 70 year olds and older who continue to wear jeans. I don't think Joanna Lumley for example would worry too much about her age when selecting her clothes. However, I'd steer clear of skin tight jeans with carefully arranged slashes and torn bits in strategic places, a step too far once you're on the wrong side of 40/50

Why ever not! I am rarely out of jeans. It does probably depend on your size.
Nina is right though.
Trying to get too much flesh inside a pair of jeans does not look good. Loose look trousers would be a far better choice.

I had a colleague who was very tall and quite wide and she always looked smart because she avoided jeans and any tight fitting clothes. Her clothes used to drape nicely over her size. She never had that "sack of potatoes" look.
I think jeggings are a risky choice unless you have long slim legs. I also have short not very shapely legs. I do not do leggings.

I wear jeans much of the time, have different types for different occasions. I have found though, I can't wear levi's now because despite their insistence they have a pair to fit any shape, they don't have one that fits me.
I do spend a while trying on before buying. It's even more difficult than buying a pair of shoes.
I'm no longer 64.....

I am over 70 Lilypops and wear jeans all the time. Like others I find the straight leg ones most flattering. I definitely don't have a sylph like figure but jeans do not make this look worse. Buy the best ones you can and try different brands for a good fit. I like M&S and Dash. You can dress them up or down with different tops and boots or shoes.
Wear whatever you are comfortable with, go for it.

I shall be 75 this May, and wear jeans, Not skinny ones you understand, the legs just wouldn't fit in. If I find some that fit, then I buy them, and yes, my bum probably does look very fat, but who cares. I go for comfort. I didn't wear jeans till I was 40, (shock, horror), but then I was away, and they are so comfy.

I have just hurtled past 70 and I wear narrow leg M&S jeans with ankle boots most of the time. I like the thought of skinny jeans but I tried a pair and they don't suit me.

I think jeans can look smart at any age, but I prefer the darker shades the older I become. I have two fraying old dog walking pairs and one best pair. All M & S.

ninathenana think that is my problem too

I don`t look good in jeans but would love to be able to wear them . I haven`t found any which look OK for about 20 years , I think it depends on your body shape and mine just isn`t jean friendly .
