However you do need to strike an even balance, I for one at 43 would never consider wearing jeans and white trainers together and / or any sports clothing worn casually.

With one exception being walking boots during the winter, also jeans should be of a classic design, not baggy ass or skinny and they must under no circumstances be ripped or have writing on them (or big logos).

this^
jeans are fine for 'mature' people just don't wear them with shitty trainers.
no half mast turn-ups
no creases your mum ironed-in
no snow wash
no snazzy stitching or logos as favored by pot bellied 40+ northerners dressing like a teenager.
if you have to go cheap then no-brand uniqlo or on sale trad brands like levis, lee etc.

I'm actually nearly 38 going on 25, but still wearing styles from before the skinny jean invasion.

Don't wear jeans beyond your 20s. Have a little dignity. (unless yo actually are a manual worker and use them for work

See most of the suggestions for what not to where since my last post - they have nothing to do with being of a certain age - they are simply about not dressing like a total fud.

Kingtut - when I run the world - and it will happen - everybody over the age of 16 will be banned from wearing sports clothing while not actually taking part in a sporting event. And burglary, sitting in the pub or taking drugs are not sporting events

Punishable by immediate execution by one of my roaming death squads

Oh.... and the Same for jeans that are ripped or have logo's/writing on them.

I simply can't believe that you don't care about what you wear.

Jeans from George @ A*da are made in sweatboxes in Asia, so too are a lot of the brands I know, I know, but please have a little faith that someone somewhere is getting a fair $ for what they make.
And why have you given up on style? Jeans are an essential part of clothing, always have been and always will be. They are the coolest thing out there and you should at the very least follow trends to the point that the clothing you wear actually looks good on you.
Please stop limiting yourelf to your age. Yes we all know trainers have a place in an 18yr olds heart, but you've no need to wear them with jeans, wear something else, but don't limit yourself..
We do not live in the 1950's anymore.

Are you happy actually wearing pleated chinos?

Holy MoG.

What about Rapha, Muxu, Diesel, Replay, Boss yadda yadda.

I just got some Uniqlo Selvedge jeans. Cheap and nice.

I have the small waist, big legs and arse problem too, so just buy a size up and wear a belt. If I get 32" waist they're tight as hell, but 34" is fine (though they do fall down without the belt and I can take them off without unfastening the button).

if it helps then i'd recommend getting down to a 'fatface' store, jeans in a casual style that arent covered in logos, weird pockets and stuff... good straight forward, long lasting and the ones i have provide ample massive leg room 😀

fatface? isn't that for people who have a paunch, buy the daily mail, wear popped collars at the weekend and think it's ok to tie a cable knit jumper round your kneck?

I've got some Fatface trousers that are very large in the leg but small in the bum. I look like a character from Pigeon Street wearing them.

Poor value and they last about 6 months on my experience, I'd avoid. If I'm paying £50 plus I buy Howies.

Cheap (£15) Kangol / Wrangler in Sports Direct stores.

Come on, this is meant to be a cycling site, surely one of you has big legs and wears jeans?!

I have exactly the same problem and am a very similar size (14.3st, 32" waist). I had previously had to buy 34" and wear belts just to get the leg space.
Diesel used to make some that fitted nicely (snug) but dont make them anymore. I recently picked up a very nice pair of Boss jeans in the sale which fit me nicely and I have a pair of Lee jeans which are even better. Most "comfort" fits are too tight on the legs for me too. I can find out the names of them if it helps?

Twice today I find myself in agreement with TJ. I'm very disturbed.

Never met the bloke but he sounds like a snappy dresser. Certainly sound on suits and denim for the elderly. Needs a haircut though.
