Do you wear leggings?

As long as bottoms are covered by tunic tops etc they are fine on any age I think. I hate tights so wear them under skirts in the winter with boots. Bought mine from Sainsburys. I would say no to patterned ones though.

'Older' women here tend to dress quite traditionally, skirts or tailored trousers, blouses and fine knit jumpers, I have had comments about wearing jeans 'at my age,59'.
I had never heard of jeggings but think I may have recently bought some in C&A. I need to put belt loops on them as they don't stay up, almost an embarrassing incident the first time I wore them and was reading the lesson in Church that morning, I was holding onto the waistband as I walked to and from the lectern !!!!!!!!

I love wearing leggings, but always with a long top and boots so actually you cant really see the leggings at all! I also wore them in the 80's but more co.ourful ones, now I only wear black ones.
Does anyone else notice that they allow you to eat too much though? Stretchy waistbands and all that.

I read somewhere (might even have been on Gransnet!) that over-60s shouldn't wear jeggings. That decided me - I have a M&S voucher and intend going to buy a pair of black jeggings this week. I am top heavy with a smallish bum and decent legs so reckon I can get away with them.
I've seen a nice longish top in M&S that would go with them so may just have to buy that too......

Unfortunately I'm top heavy it been the bane of my life. I think and it's been confirmed that I look like Max Wall in leggings. But oh how I wish I could wear them. they look so comfy and chic on any age if your the right shape.

Well, I'm sticking to my dancer with ankle warmers look whether it's fashionable or not, not mention my this year's cultivation of the Gudrun layered look.

So last year bags the wrinkly sock look, at least south of Gretna it is. For a while there Norah Batty look was all the rage.

That's nonsense about no visible socks with leggings, jess. It's all the rage, especially thick tumble down socks that look like ankle warmers. I'm shocked that you haven't noticed! Do keep up

Mollie65 try Jeggings they just fit to the waist but are soft and stretchy no muffin top and they don't sag like leggings do, I'm short too so they are sometimes a bit long I either turn the bottom up inside or wear them tucked into my socks and boots . Just try them on in Sainsburys you'll be surprised as I was.

I think visible socks with leggings not on really. In the summer, slightly shorter leggings and flats. In the winter , leggings with boots and socks out of sight. Skinny models are sometimes depicted wearing them with short boots but the gap is awkward between full length leggings and tight jeans. Never... Ever.... Wear leggings with heels. It's up there with short skirts combined with low necklines.

ffinnochio have to agree about skinny jeans - like to wear them with flats or boots - cannot grasp leggings as I am fairly small/short and find the crotch is around my knees and they wrinkle at the ankle
have viewed myself in full length mirror when wearing skinny jeans and it is not too horrific bad as I have slim legs and ankles and not too big a behind. Only problem with them is the low rise ones have to be belted round my waist rather than sitting on my hips and I invariably have to shorten them being a 'shortie'.
does anyone know if they do leggings in short / skinny leg mode?
best skinny jeans - firetrap by far.

I would wear boots out of the house, but maybe those sort of slipper socks would work in the house?
I have quite a lot of tunics to wear with mine, but could do with some cheaper long t-shirts to wear over leggings in the house. Any ideas where? I am in the UK and going to Bluewater tomorrow, so should have a bit of choice.

Really interested to read this thread as I have been wondering if I dare get some leggings but no-one has mentioned socks! My feet are always cold so is it alright to wear socks with leggings or does that just look as if you should have your wellies on?

Any skinny jean lovers out there? I prefer them to leggings - more substantial. Never worn with heels though, as I don't possess any.
