'Fashion' hates

I like jeggings as I think they're warmer than baggier trousers. They're not as tight as the leggings which I wore with chunky jumpers in um, the 70s?
I wonder how carefully you have to thread your feet into those silly very ripped jeans without getting your toes caught between the threads?
You know those denim jackets ('western?') - I once saw a young lady wearing one of these and the back central panel was more ripped than fabric. Drafty or what? The designers must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Pollyperkins so relieved to read your post, which also reminded me that I have a couple of pairs of (straight-legged) cord trousers tucked away at the back of the wardrobe somewhere.

Wear whatever makes you happy Absolutely!
And why wear the same as everyone else? I had enough of uniforms at school.

Jeggings even!!

Wear whatever makes you happy. Everyone has the right to dress as they please and not worry about pleasing others. Whether it's flattering, comfortable, baggy or beautiful, if you like it (and as long as you don't get arrested), by all means wear it!

Skinnys and jogging for me too, with tunics, dresses or long jumpers, tucked in boots - very cosy! Hate the ‘cold shoilder’ look, ripped jeans (remember them from the first time round!) and the current trend for flounces and frills on everything! How do they cope with those awful flounced sleeves?

Sorry Craighopper trousers on women are awful.... they are not in the least attractive .

I wear skinny jeans and tuck them into knee high boots...usually beige or tan or black... if I wear legging it's usually thick leggings under a tunic top..or under normal straight jeans for warmth..

Sorry OP...but you say 90% have been suckered , I think it may be that 10 % haven't yet discovered the benefits and smartness of skinny jeans and leggings.. ( except of course on incredible overweight people..but then that goes for any kind of tight clothing)

Fur lined leggings! Yes please who sells them ?

Correct me if Im wrong but I think leggings are like thick tights without feet and jeggings are a cross between leggings and jeans ie leggings made of stretchy denim type material.
I think either are unflattering on older women unless they tall and slim and have good legs! Although I can see that tunic style top covering the backside over leggings is better than a short top.
I think charging a small fortune for preripped jeans is just ridiculous and tgey look awful. I'm probably old fashioned!

There are loads on line. Start with eBay.
I bought mine in TKmax.

Myself, I find denim cold even with thermal leggings underneath but it's all a question of personal taste surely. What I do find unacceptable, however, is the trend of wearing jeans below the hips so that in guys it's the underpants that are on show and in women, the thong!! As far as rips and tears are concerned, these are simply another fashion statement and again personal choice. I do sincerely hope that these latter two fashions are not allowed in the workplace though.

Where do you get fur lined leggings?

I would love to wear leggings or jogging but having the most peculiar shaped legs, I won’t go into detail, I stick to straight jeans or trousers, usually with long tunic tops.

Like a few people who didnt know what Craghoppers are. I am confused as to the difference between jeggings and leggings, I hate those terribly tight fitting things that show off every bump on people who really shouldnt wear them, fashion or not, have some pride!

I think they look quite nice with longish, flowing tops. I'm too short I think to look elegant in that sort of thing (or in anything really).

My view is that if someone feels comfortable and at ease in what they're wearing then that's the main thing. I may think it unflattering but then perhaps things I wear appear unflattering to other people.

I am not sure about ripped jeans but 10 year old DGD, 48 year old DDiL and me (74) can frequently be seen in very similar black jeggings, layered tops and boots, although I wear elegant leather boots with a thick 2 inch heel and they wear Doc Martins

One poster commented on mutton dressed as lamb. Has this concept disappeared? Or has the shelf-life of lambs extended? Or is it that gransnetter wearers of ripped jeans and shoulderless sweaters don't happen to have teenage GDs?

There are obviously lots of us wearing slim fit jeans and boots with a tunic length top to cover the bulgy bits. I find it a really comfortable and practical outfit. Used to wear skirts when I was working but not now. Jeans are very practical when playing on the floor with the grandchildren. No child wants to see Granny's knickers, even accidentally.

Well if I had an outline worth showing, I would definitely wear leggings. Be proud!

I’m definitely still on this planet but I have often thought that ladies, of any age, are showing their outlines unnecessarily when they wear jeggings. Good Sandelf, you’ve made my day! ?

I live in jeggings and long jumpers in the winter too. Comfortable, warm and covers a multitude of sins.
My husband lives in Craghoppers! Craghoppers are very practical but far too baggy to be flattering for me.

I love my skinny jeans & jeggings worn with a long jumper, I'm only 62, not as slim as I used to be but still got good legs

No to ripped jeans, I didn't wear them 1st time round.

Think the worst I've seen is young women, very overweight in spray on leggins

If worn correctly they look fabulous! Not great with sort tops though.

I live in slim fit or skinny jeans, so practical for wearing with boots. I also have a couple of pairs of leggings to wear with tunic type tops. While I still have a reasonable Figure I am happy to not cover up completely. I feel frumpy in baggy clothes. I even have a pair of denim shorts with rips in!

I have just purchased fleecy footless leggings, have worn them once with a long top (family do) and once To the cinema with a knee length skirt. Felt more comfortable without skirt, had to keep feeling to see if it was caught up in my knickers after visiting the loo. I’m 74 next month so have decided I can wear what I like, just look the other way when I pass by.

Craghoppers!!!
