Too old for coated jeggings?

I was thinking about buying some black coated jeggings as an alternative to black skinny jeans for going out. Now I am wondering if 41 is to old to wear coated jeggings. I tried a pair on today and liked how they look. Do any of you ladies over 40 wear them and how do you wear them?

I've got some, if by 'jeggings' you mean the M&S skinny jeans. I'm 42. I wear them with a mid thigh length jumper and ankle boots plus a biker jacket for casual and with heels and a longish silk top for evening.

My 50yo mum bought some today.

They looked fab on her.

I can't wait to borrow them off her.

Was going to get the dp petite black ones cos they're 30% off... But I'm 46...I thought they'd be ok if you're not too muttony in the styling.

What are coated jeans?

I'm (just) 43 and wear them, either with a chunky knit during the day or more dress top for evening.

If you like them, get them!

I have the Primark black coated jeans and I am 45. They cost peanuts (£11 or £14, can't remember) and everyone admires them. I wear them with chunky (long) knits and long drapey tops and they are by far my favourite jeans. Do it!

I think the coated ones look a bit cheapy as they are everywhere. Not too old for skinnies though if younare in good shape. I am 47 and wear them. Be prepared though for not being the only one wearing them at the party! I went out to lunch on sat and saw about 5 pairs all on mums. I think really black tight skinnies look better but just IMO

The shorts are lovely.

Why the ageism?

If something fits you, suits you and you like it - wear it.

You're all crackers! You can wear whatever you want at you're tender age! I'm 50 I don't consider it time to start wearing twinset and pearls! Wear them and if you're a larger lady and they make them in your size, wear them! That's why THEY GO UP TO YOUR SIZE!

I'm 52. If they suited me I'd wear them. I love Zara's coated ones and their shirts and jerseys and I see loads of women my age and older in there trying stuff on and looking amazing.

I've got the Dorothy P ones, I wore them to a party this weekend with a slouchy black glittery jumper and high heels and looked ok fabulous!

noddyholder Mon 26-Nov-12 19:58:02

I prefer the proper jeans I have zara ones and they aren't jeggings

remus if you return to this thread can you explain what you mean by longish silk tops, possibly by way of some links...?

I bought some coated skinny jeans today (oasis premium denim, 10 quid off, amazing btw) and would like to wear them to a party on sat night, but not sure what to put with them tops-wise... It's going to be hot in the venue so can't do sparkly knit wear.

The warehouse ones are better than the DP ones I think. The DP ones appeared to have room for a willy.

And god - I'm now 40 and feeling sad at the number of threads about older people and they mean my age sad

noddyholder Mon 26-Nov-12 20:09:58

MrsC I am 47 and don't give 2 hoots grin

Pmsl at 'room for a willy.'

Longish silk tops - generally these are from Warehouse and are sort of bum length. Unfortunately they seem to be doing fewer and fewer silk things nowadays.

I've also got a floaty sleeveless thing which isn't silk but comes to just below bum length and looks good with the skinnies and heels and a blazer.

Not silk but this shape nice under a blazer for going out

Or this sort of thing but minus the long bit at the back Again, not silk though.

They don't seem to have any silk ones now, which is v v annoying.
