I had to think carefully about what I was going to wear this morning. We had been contacted by a group of American musicians who wanted to visit Jumilla today, so I needed to be wearing warm and comfortable clothes for walking around town, but I also had to be dressed appropriately for lunch in a smart restaurant afterwards. Smart casual, therefore, is what was required and what is a safe bet for smart casual? Dark denim jeans, of course!
I wore a dressy top, some jewellery and a pair of flat shoes rather than trainers. The look I was aiming for was casual but stylish, which is my preferred way of dressing - though if I am totally honest, the emphasis is usually on the casual!
Do you agree that there shouldn't be an upper age limit for wearing denim? That it's ok for a 65 year old to carry on wearing jeans? After all we're not talking ripped jeans here, or denim mini skirts, just a classic pair of indigo jeans. I love mine as they are a flattering shape, comfortable to wear and with enough stretch that I could enjoy a huge, delicious lunch today without worrying about the waistband digging in! What's not to love?
Hope you enjoyed your day. I am 63 and live in jeans in the winter! I think no jeans over 60 is an old rule that no longer applies.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Juhli, we had a very enjoyable day. We like showing people around our adopted town and they were very friendly and appreciative.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that it should be "no jeans over 50" (who makes these "rules" up, for goodness sake!) but luckily, as you say, attitudes are changing. Like you, I live in jeans during the winter months. Tomorrow's challenge is to wear a dress: I think it will have to be a dress over a pair of jeans!
