[Closed] When is one too old for skinny jeans?

Skinny jeans + big cyclist legs = not a good look

It is the combination of cankles and age that I fear I may not overcome.

as long as you don't have thankles...

This dude is actually quite cool

though is probably still mid-twenties. FWIW I'm not-yet-30 and still rocking the skinnies. I do have skinny legs though

Darcy, I think your measurements stack up... post a picture up and I'll be able to advise you properly.

I would look a state in skinny jeans, just ain't built for them.

TSWan

That's anti-cool chic, that is.

DD, post a picture of yourself in your skinny jeans, and i will sqeeze myself into my son's and post that up.............we will see who looks the best.

… i will sqeeze myself into my son's…

I just did a little sickie in my throat.

Skinny jeans and cyclist thighs aren't a natural sartorial match. Do you remember the lumberjack shirt fashion a few years back (no, not the '90s one)? I tried a few of those shirts and just looked like a man who was off out to cut down trees (and press wild flowers)...

I think you should get some and define your own individuality rather than following the crowds. Are you a leader or a follower?

Neither a leader or a follower be.

There are those who lend and those who borrow.

Two sayings for you Simone.

Gracias.

fwiw, i'm currently sporting a very comfy and practical pair of brown cords.

hmm, corduroy...

As a frequent user of the London underground...I often see London fashionistas dressed like clowns - skinny jeans, wierd hair, pointy white fabric shoes, cardigan from the 70's...usually with some stunning woman hooked on their arm.

If I'm not in a suit I look like a 34 year old skateboarder in jeans, t-shirt and hoody.

If I dressed like I rummaged through the bargain bucket in a charity shop that stunning woman would be fighting my wife for my attention.

wear something manly...

Sounds like how I dress too.

Age is a factor but it is a size issue really. Skinny legs are only part of it. Having a man's arse one can no longer look cool in skinny denim.

When I was a scrawny skateboarder in my teens I could barely get jeans to stay up such was my lack of butt.

So if you still have a "boy's" arse in your 30s or 40s then go for it. But as a general rule most don't. I don't...

30 inch waist? is that not against forum rules? I thought you were supposed to be a biffer to post here?

28 or 29 inch waist here. Got my first pair of skinny jeans the other week, I really like them. Only £15 as well. Now I just need long hair a silly hat and some sort of piercing.

Skinny jeans on anyone look so wrong.

RealMan - living up to your moniker as always, eh?

Of course, wouldn't want to disappoint.

Are you also planning to wear very big glasses and a low-neck T shirt ?

you're just one step away from the bumfluff-shitbeard and ironic combover look

You’re never too old, I’m 35 and I’ve got some jeans so skinny I can hardly bend my knees. Live the shoreditch dream.

skin tight jeans, big flippin boots and major metal work and tats and I'm mid 30's. Why live your life dictated by the perceptions of strangers? Wear what you want everyone who has a problem with it can Foxtrot Oscar 😀

I've got giggleitis. 😆

Brilliant thread, really enjoying it so please don't stop.

But what on earth is Fisher Price hair? ❓

Everyone on here dresses in supermarket denim. A meeting of the STW forum would look like an episode Top Gear.

Ooh! I got a pair of selvedge jeans from a High Street Retailer recently; cost me £29.99. 😀

There's tons of really good quality 'unbranded' stuff about, if you know where to look.

Or you can pay two, three or more times as much for the same thing with a label sewn onto it. Up to you. Don't ask the rest of us to approve though. Spending lots of money doesn't mean you're not an idiot.

Excuse my absence, I went shopping...

Ooh! Whaddya buy then? Goon, show us! 😀

(Falls over backwards with excitement)

jees my thighs barely fit into relaxed fit jeans let alone regular as for skinny

i think it was my 12 mile paperround on a bmx in my youth

stretch fit jeans are the truth for the proper "so tight you can tell what religion someone is" goth look 😀

I tried on a few pairs in G-Star - currently have two pairs on hold pending "sleeping on it"...

One is "slim" fit and the others were "skinny".

I have a pair of boots which I can wear them inside...either pair would go inside the boots quite well. I think I'll go with the skinny. 😀

And when do we get to see the photos?

Went through years of living my life to the words of a Happy Mondays song too. Things are gonna change big style 😀

That building in the background of that picture of that geek with the big glasses, that looks like Balfron Tower, what is just a few hundred yards from me.

Erno Goldfinger, innit?

Actually, it's not Balfron, but Trellick, in Ladbroke Grove.

Similar, but subtly different. Such gems will surely feature in a future edition of the New-type AA: Architectural Appreciation thread which is on Tuesdays on the Chat Forum.

I don't.
I haven't had [i]any[/i] denim since I was 18.

This is Glenkerry House, which is a baby version. Co-operatively owned, this building.

Carradale House sits in the shadow of Balfron (that's Balfron behind).

All these Goldfinger buildings sit bang next to motorways. Urban ugliness at it's very best.

...allegedly.

It's all weasel words until pics are provided.

If you've got it, flaunt it.

Just check with the STW girlies first. 😀

Pics will be provided.

The young ladies in the shop (and very lovely they were too) all seemed to think I looked really good in them. They said I had a nice ass (for my age 😡 ). I hope they're not on commission...

They were on commission.

And Crack.
