When is one too old for skinny jeans?

About three years younger than you were when you first thought to ask the question.

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

if you’re skinny you should wear suchlike jeans. the naysayers probably have 30 inch front waist and 30 inch back waist

Not necessarily age dependant – some can carry them off……………

I should add that having big feet makes skinny jeans an unusual choice…..

😆 at Woody’s pic. Remarkably brave of you there fella. 😉

iDave has the right idea 😀

I think that if they’re judged a FAIL, they will work quite well as “inside-wellies” jeans for dog walking duties.

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…

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.

Currently wearing a pair of Japanese selvedge denim jeans. And I’m not a label whore, although I usually wear Howies, or Oakley, neither of which has particularly obvious labeling. The ones I’m wearing don’t have a visible label anywhere, which I really like. Next time the retailer has my size on sale, I’ll get a couple more pairs, they fit really well. And they ain’t skinny, closer to classic 501’s. Skinny jeans look wrong on anyone older than 23.

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?
