When are you too old for???
 

lowrider jeans?? and shopping in the junior section???:D :D I know I sound silly but I am going nuts with this...... It just seems like something is not right, most of my friends are my age and feel the same way:D I did stop wearing short shorts 2 years ago, and started wearing mostly crapis pants(I hope I spelled it right) for the summer, but now I feel alittle funny shopping in the junior section yet not comfortable shopping in the womens section either :confused:, Can someone advice me on this? or does any one share some of my feelings on this?

I was going to ask you all to guess my age but I rather not:D What if you guys guess much older than what I really am:questione :cry8:

I shop in both jr and womens & I'm pretty sure I'm older than you :p do whatever you feel comfortable in. There's no law that says you have to change clothing styles with age.

I think you are only too old for lowriders and the junior sections when you are no longer comfortable. I don't think it is nearly as much an age thing as it is a size thing. If you find something that fits without "stuff" hanging over and you like it, are comfortable with it -- then it must be right.

Well, you are not as old as I am. I will be sixty next month. I feel very young at heart but dress my age. When I was younger, I was too heavy to wear stylish clothes but the past few years I have been normal weight. i find I still go back to the dress suits and dark colors (when dressing up) if I'm not careful. I have tried to incorporate color and younger looking clothes into my wardrobe. I do not shop Jr..s or low riders or anything like that. BUT, I dig thru the misses dept and avoid the old lady clothes. I have found I can find a lot of clothes that are stylish and decent looking for my age. I have a terrible time finding jeans because almost all are the low riders. But recently found some Gloria Vanderbilt jeans that are butt hugging and lifting with a reg. waist and I love them. To me, there is nothing uglier than a woman, say forty or older or even thirty five and older trying to look like a teeny bopper. Sometimes it's simply that they don't know how to dress. I am surprised that so many of us really don't know how to dress stylish, yet age appropiate. A good idea is for you to goto a store that has people to help you and have them pick out some stuff for you. Kind of like the tv show, What Not to Wear. You don't have to buy but you will get some good ideas.

Well I am 42 and feel I am too old for low riders. I mainly shop in the womens but do find some things in Juniors that I buy

I don't do low riders - but I do look for a mid-rise. I have a hard enough time finding pants to fit cause I have a small waist and a round rear - so whatever clothing section I can find them to fit is where I buy.

I don't like to see hanging flesh, or "cracks" no matter what age you are!!

Me either yuck

Thanks guys for all your replies:D I surely feel confused but I do feel comfortable in some junior clothes but I still wonder:confused: I guess I see too many women that just dont look "right" in those younger clothes and I just get worried about me looking like that:p


I dont like "stuff" hanging out either:eek: :D

:p Sounds like everyone is pretty much in agreement here! It's extremely hard for me to find clothes that fit because I am so short and Petite Departments with good selections are hard to find. If I find jeans that are comfortable, I buy them regardless of the department. Shirts/sweaters/jackets are a whole different story! If they don't fit well, I am absolutely miserable!! :)

I think it has a lot more to do with shape than age. I saw a really heavy lady the other day and she was wearing lowriders and one of those little T's that shows your bellybutton if you raise your arms. I am not lying, it made me gag!! About 6-8" of her fat belly was literally hanging out!! Ewwwww!!

LOL do you live next door to me ?? My neighbor dresses like that and wow -

About 2 years ago she was outside getting her mail in her ROBE and nothing under it and totally flashed my husband - he's a MAN and he even gagged lol !!

I think as far as 'fashion' the look that I can't stand is these girls with their thongs way above the jean line - that's just plain tacky looking. I can see a tiny bit but some girls show the whole thing - I do not need to see that when I'm out - girls showing their butts is just SO pathetic and attention seeking

LOL......I think that just because they make it in a larger size doesn't mean you should wear it:D I mean if it looks nice and you feel good in it, go for it:thumbup: but if it's just making people sick :thumbdown

I am sure I have shared pics of myself before:rolleyes: but here I am with my jeans and I guess what I normally wear:D

I am 54 and a size 4. It is very difficult to find pants in misses that fit some don't even go down to size 4. I usually but jeans like DKNY and Calvin klein because they fit. I never go for the low waist and wear age appropriate tops. I use to shop in Juniors ubtil the low low rise and skin tight short tops came into style. Generally I feel if I have to ask is this age approprite then it probably isn't LOL

:cool: I wish!!! Boy, the stuff we could get into .... Houston would never be the same!! :sidesplt:

:eek: Oh, that is tooo funny! I would have loved to have seen the expression on his face. When I pointed out the lady to Patrick, he just said "OMG"!!! :)

Don't even get me started on thongs!! Those things way above jeans just looks so nasty! Patrick calls them "Fanny Floss"!!! ;)

I dont like the skin tight tops and I defently dont like to show my belly:D I also have a problem with the regular waisted jeans since I am very small from my waist down:confused: If I wear jeans, underwear or anything that is not lowrise I end up looking like erkell:D :confuse2:

I often shop in the juniors section simply because that's what fits. I like other clothes but finding pants is really tough. Some women's stores don't carry a small enough size, plus I don't like pants that come up too high.

I agree with everyone else - you just have to go with what feels comfortable. I shop at Abercrombie alot mainly for size - I joke that I'm 33 going on 13. :rolleyes:

Oh, this is a sore subject for me! I'm 35 (not afraid to admit it!;) ) but wear a 1 in Jr. sizes. The ONLY place I've been able to find decent jeans is at Gap and Old Navy because they have what they call the "just below waist" ones. Even those though give me a problem because there's a big gap in the back where you can see straight down my pants!! I have a long torso so anything "low-waisted" is super low on me. If even my low cut panties stick out the top of them, they are too low for me. On top of that, they are finally making shirts a little longer now. If my shirt doesn't come down past my waistband, I'm not comfortable. If someone MY size can see the tackiness of a belly hanging out, then WHY can't the "larger" girls see that a belly hanging over the waistband, not covered by a shirt, is tacky??? Maybe just MY opinion....

There are higher end stores that carry size 2's that I can usually wear (sometimes with the help of my MIL - a seamstress who alters SO much of my clothes) but financially, I just can't go to those places much.

It's time they realize that not only Jr. age girls shop in the Jr. sections and start making pants that are a reasonable waist height and maybe throw some styles in there that a "mature" aged woman can wear to work!

I say you're to old when this happen.

My opinion if you can fit into the Jr's without looking ridiculous then go for it. I might not go with the short shirts though. If you have flabdomen that hangs over the top of the jeans, go with the regular fit.

I saw a lady the other day that had to be near 40 in a aeropostale sweatshirt & low-rise jeans & she looked adorable & younger than she probably was. I think that if you can look at yourself in the mirror with a slightly judgemental eye & think you look good then go for it. I have to wear low-rise to look good (no crack here though or anything hanging over). Also listen to your husband, they are not going to come right out & say anything bad, but if they think the outfit is unflattering or too young chances are good they will make some kind of comment, such as: did you accidentally get one of our daughters shirts out instead of yours (or something).

i your able to wear low riders, then you go right ahead.. if the shoe
fits,, wear it.. im 44 years old and i wear anything that makes me look good.
no matter what age i am. i wear whatever i feel comfortable in...

I just looked at your pictures and I think you look fabulous. I think most people look better in a lower rise as long as it fits- (ewww, muffin top :p ) and no panties showing please! Higher rise pants give people that freaky looking long "mom butt". The majority of girls I see who look offensive in low rise pants are usually younger girls who are trying to squeeze into jeans that are one or two sizes too small and then topping it with a skin tight belly baring shirt. Sometimes I want to scream, honey, either work out or cover it up! For the most part (yeah, we've all seem exceptions) grown women tend to know better. I'm 34 for the record.

I wear nothing but low rise and I'm guiltly of showing a little crack here and there :):p My family teases me all the time, but I have a cute crack :p

I just wear what I like. I follow the trends and I like to dress cute!

I don't think the age has anything to do with it......it has to do with how you are shaped. My mother-in-law is 56 and 5'3"....size 5 and shops mostly in the jr. section. She looks fantastic. When small frame women wear the high waisted jeans that are tapered at the ankle, it makes them look like they have a super 'long' butt. Go with whatever you feel comfortable in....if you can sit down without showing your crack or panties, then amen to wearing low-rise!! Gives most people a better shape from behind. Maybe just compliment the low-rise with a nice silk blouse that is a little more grown up than a logo tee!! By the way, I am 30 years old

I don't think age has anything to do with it either. If you look good ( which you do in the pics) then go for it..I'm 50 I have 1 pair of jeans I look good in, but mostly I wear stretchy bell bottom pants or dress pants.... I never was a every day jean person.......... I dont wear shorts often either lol I wear capri's

Your exactly right with this one. I have 2 daughters 27 & 19 and 2 sons 24 & 17 and they don't hesitate to tell me to get out of the mom jeans and dress stylish. I am 47 and usually a size 4-6 (depends on the time of year-holidays kill me) and only 5' 2". It's really tough to find things that are age appropriate and still will pass my kids check list. I find that the petite dept works well for me because I have short arms. I will have to agree with my kids that a jean that comes just below the belly button is alot more flattering and a straight leg. Especially when you have short legs like mine.

ok everyone,, my mom is 70 years old and i suggested to her to get jeans
right below the belly button and stretch of course.. she said they are the
most comfortable jeans she has ever worn cause it doesnt bother her belly.
my mom is a size 12..... they look fantastic on her, of course they are not
tight and she wears regular shirts that go right below the top of the jean,,
i had to get her out of those old lady jeans..i just had to....

Go Mom! I've seen alot of mature women wearing stylish clothing and think it's wonderful. My mom is very youthful for her age also and she's 65. Ooops sorry mom. I have always said forget your age and just live your life.
