Do you still wear jeans?

The only reason I don't wear jeans much is because I find them heavy and uncomfortable. I do have a pair of "boyfriend cut" jeans (or so the label says) that I wear sometimes. They're kind of slouchy/baggy.

I don't think jeans are a youth thing any more. There are so many styles and fits for all. There was a thread about leggings and Jeggings which seemed to come to that conclusion with a few dissenters. My late uncle was widowed in his eighties and almost his first act was to go out and buy a pair of jeans. Apparently his wife had always forbidden him to wear them and he'd always craved some. Very good he looked too grin

I have never worn jeans and don't intend to start now.

I frequently wear jeans but during this cold weather I am wearing walking trousers with warm linings.

I only wear trousers in winter with a long top or long coat but yes, I have denim ones though not strictly jeans.

DH is 66 he still wears jeans.

Why not Handynan27. I prefer Chinos but the main thing is what you feel comfortable in. I would hate to think, within reason, that my age would dictate what I wear. It is how you look and feel not your age that counts.

I'm fairly new to gransnet so I hope I'm not rehashing an old thread but is there an age when you're past your sell-by date for wearing jeans? I'm a baby boomer and we were the first "jeans generation". I'm still fairly slim and feel comfortable wearing them but don't want to look like mutton dressed up as lamb.
