Mentioned to a couple of family members I was looking for some skinny jeans, and was mocked roundly.
I am 42 and 7/12ths, 32″ waist. Frankly, I was quite hurt, but it’s two less Christmas cards to write I suppose.

Were they right?

no. wear what the heck you want.

Were they right?

yep.

think howard, not vince.

You’re too old, definitely.

But don’t let that stop you having people snigger behind your back in the street.

Eh?

I never realised, as a man, that I was supposed to give a monkeys what anyone thought about my dress sense. or lack of.

They should just be grateful I’m not naked.

And to answer the question, so long as you don’t buy those stupid trousers where the crotch is down at about knee height, then fine.

you’ll be riding a bmx next 🙄

Depends how skinny really, as the “skinny fit” jeans from places like Hollister / Jack Wills ae pretty skinny without being the full on, rad, bling, gnarr skinny jeans worn by the yoof of today

if you’re asking permission from interet strangers you’ve already slipped beyond the point of no return. the problem is that you are swayed by opinion and have lost the anarchic voice within. so, no, you can’t wear skinny jeans. you should buy some sensible cords from M&S.

Everyone’s too old for skinny jeans, unless you’re a girl.

This subject is the “What Tyres for…” of the chat forum.

Comes up about as often, and attracts all the same posters saying all the same things.

CEO of Box.net was wearing them during his Developers Conference opening presentation, so if CEO can wear them for work, anyone can..

I’ve got a smartkey for my ‘skinny jeans thread’ retort.

Get ‘man heels’ too……….

Be a proper fashion victim.

Saggy arse, oh, and a massive fringe, with a parting that starts over your left ear.

I can’t wear skinny jeans – if i find a pair that vaguely fit, they’re always skin tight on my calves and loose around my ankles and knees. They look absolutely retarded.

I find even regular cut jeans are too tight on the thighs, have to go for relaxed fit. Maybe that’s partly because of my 30″ waist though.

I don’t think it’s possible to be too OLD for skinny jeans, however, I do believe it is possible to be too FAT for them 😉

Phah this old nugget again, If your figure fits then where what you like.

Buscuit anyone..

hahahaha

Ah, I must be too fat then 😥

Not sure my BMI would agree though, 5’10” and 9 1/2 stone 😆

Cheers, Rich

i’m too fat for some of my own jeans let alone skinny fit jeans. i blame binners of course

how tight are we talking here? why do you want to advertise the fact that you have drainpipe legs?

(says someone too fat to fit into skinny jeans)

No.

9.5st at 5’10” ? 😯

I think you need to eat something

Anyway, if you need to ask, the answer is yes

I don’t think it’s possible to be too OLD for skinny jeans, however, I do believe it is possible to be too FAT for them

and apparently too skinny!! 😯

Precisely this.

Wear what you like, including skinny jeans if you want.

Just accept that they look crap on anyone other than women/girls and maybe (very arguable) some very specific male models.

If you do get them, you may find that your problem is not that you are too old… but that all your other jeans will feel like clowns trousers, huge baggy and silly looking.

The wife got me a pair, I said no way I’m over 30, but I have to say they look smart and I’m a convert. Even got skinny work trousers now and feel unfortable in the old baggy strides.

Skinny Jeans are so yesterday -the fact a bunch of 40-somethings are discussing it means that ship has sailed long ago.

Forget skinny. Elasticated, cuffed ankles are where its at. Grandaddyo 🙂

After the skinny jean success, the wife got me a pair of those too.

But Im defo too old for them and only wear em around the house when its too cold for shorts.

Maybe some people are just jealous that at this grand age, you can still fit into skinny jeans.

I am 42 in April and I say you are too old! 😀

Are we talking “Levi 501s” skinny or “Steel Panther” skinny?

Elasticated, cuffed ankles are where its at

“Carrot fit,” I’m guessing? Spotted some of these in a clothes shop I was being dragged around by the OH the other day. Looked like something Russ Abbott would wear. If I bought a pair, people would think someone had stolen my horse.

Well I’m 46, and have got some straight cut ones. But Mrs Andrewy accused me of wearing ‘dad jeans’. Ok, I am a dad, but I was quite hurt. I’m thinking of calling a solicitor 🙁
