Men over 40 wearing jeans and white trainers - NO!

[dave50]

Why do they do it? Must be a mid life crisis thing.

[fliptheswitch]

40? That's a bit young!

I agree that men over *fifty* should probably not wear them, but forty? Really?!

[NOX]

errr no probably not, probably just don't care about silly stereotypes or even think about their age.

[nannybooby]

OH WSM -white shoe merchants dont have anything to do with one they are really gross

[notasyoungasiwas]

I'm over 40 and wear jeans and white trainers, but I'm not male - is that OK ?

[Sammy48]

what should they wear - tweed jacket, cords and brown lace ups ?

[fliptheswitch]

Lol @ brown lace ups.

I do love a nice tweed jacket, though.

[ummmm]

Nothing wrong with it.

[Craftypig]

Haha we had a similar conversation the other day at home. What is wrong with wearing jeans and white trainers over 40?

[LoftyLottie]

Depends on the man not the age!! Some blokes look awful in jeans at 20 and some blokes look good in jeans at 70.

I love my old man in jeans.

What are older men meant to wear for casual gear then? Please enlighten me!!

White trainers I hate on anybody except if they are for worn for sports. Chav gear!!

[Mamyalynne]

Triggs looks ace in his white shoes, wow!!

[joeluke]

Depends on the man, some look younger than their years and can carry it off.....a bit like some forty something women who can still look good in a short denim skirt and knee high boots (down boy!)

[LoftyLottie]

I intend to wear jeans until I leave this earth!! I love my jeans.

[fliptheswitch]

I hate white trainers, too. Especially when they're *really* White... like prison white. lol.

My Dad wears jeans, and he's 50! (He doesn't own a pair of trainers though)

[notasyoungasiwas]

I'm definitely NOT a chav and I have a pair of white trainers !

[Craftypig]

Unless those jeans have elasticated waistbands!!

[cazzz1975]

is 40 the age to start shopping for beige and casual slacks then..?

[Frank97]

I'm over 40 and wear jeans all the time don't do the white trainer thing though, nearly did earlier in the summer but decided against it, I prefer a decent pair of boots!

[LoftyLottie]

This looks more than acceptable to me:

Didnt we cover this one just a short time ago?

Im 53, I wear jeans but no white trainers.

I dont see a problem with it, I really dont see why anybody would.

mid life crisis, what utter nonsense, ive been wearing jeans since my early teens, I aint going to stop now!

Stupid question really!

[askyourgran]

I can honestly say that I've never thought about it, white trainers and jeans seem to be standard dress for most of the population - men and women middleaged people too. (not me I hasten to add)
