They do wonders visually for my flat bottom. I do not wear any jeans with gold stitching or other fancy details on the pockets, which I think is what is meant by embellished pockets.<br /> Enjoy your Hudsons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759442 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 08:38:55 +0000 CocoLion 759442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am over 47 and I wear jeans with pocket details all the time.

It the issue:). I'm your age and if these fit me as well as they fit you, they'd be in my closet too:). They look fabulous.

I'm your age and I'd wear these in a flat minute if I looked that good in this leg style.

I love a well-placed flap pocket, and I think this style of flap (with the pointy tip) is the most universally flattering whatever your age. Please keep and wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759391 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 04:40:25 +0000 soobee 759391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Almost 47 here, and if I could fit into them I would SO wear them! They look great on you and I think it's how you style them which would make them age inappropriate. Now let's see six different ways you would style them. Hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759390 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 04:36:54 +0000 Gaylene 759390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans look great on you. And just who are these "experts" who think that you shouldn't show off your shape if you are nearing 50? In Europe, I see 50+ women wearing bikinis and looking fabulous. I think it's time to get rid of the notion that 50+ women should dress in shapeless sacks for once and for all! I'm all for age appropriate clothing, but really... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759388 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 04:22:26 +0000 cciele 759388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those fit you really well! I'm 47 and would totally wear jeans like that if they fit me as well as they fit you Good for you for keeping them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759385 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 04:18:33 +0000 Anonymous 759385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thank you all for those confidence boosters!! I am so glad I posted my pictures to get input. I think DH understood my reticence. He says you're shaped like a coke bottle and the jeans show that off. He hit the nail on the head with that one. I think the jeans do emphasize my shape and that's part of my hesitation. But, I need to get over myself and as Julie said stop worrying about what other people think.</p> <p>I know these are "them." I would rate my ON Flirts a 6, but these I would give a 9. I will keep them and challenge myself to wear them to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759374 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 03:40:03 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 759374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great on you. With jeans, the pocket is more about body shape than age. I am turning 50 very soon and I would wear those jeans in a flash.</p> <p>Enjoy. They look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759373 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 03:37:19 +0000 Julie 759373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great jeans on a great figure. You need to stop worrying what others may think and get out there and "shake what your mama gave you". I also think your husband would love taking pictures all day of your rear view in those jeans. The only thing I would add would be a gorgeous pair of tall high heeled boots. Slip them on under those wonderful boot cut jeans and you'll feel on top of the world.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759370 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 03:36:30 +0000 Susie 759370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great on you and you are definitely not too old for that style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759367 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 03:25:09 +0000 etherium8 759367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great! Wear them loud and proud...I think that they would look great paired with a blazer for casual Friday. Also, the dark wash makes them slimming AND sophisticated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759362 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 03:13:21 +0000 Parsley 759362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not about your age- it's about how they look on you, and those look GREAT on you!!<br /> Wear and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759358 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 03:07:48 +0000 Janet 759358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Gaylene said. I'm 47 and have Hudson's that look very much like this. I don't mind a little detailing on the back pocket because I don't have much of a booty. In fact, the slight flap pocket works out to be pretty flattering on me. </p> <p>So age has little to do with it, IMHO. Body shape flattery is the key issue for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759218 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 23:33:46 +0000 rae 759218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really think this is what the "experts" mean by pocket detail... I would think of such things like rhinestones and elaborate embroidery that can sometimes read very juniors-ish. If the flap pockets flatter your bum (I LOVE my Hudsons and so does my DH, who is on Team Riveting Rearsider), then the jeans should be great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759201 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 22:43:01 +0000 Anonymous 759201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your replies! I will see if DH can give me a hand in taking a pic.</p> <p>I do like them and I think they make my bottom look great...unlike my ON Flirts. And they make my legs look longer and thighs look thinner. I had a pair of Hilfiger flap pocket jeans a year or so ago. I loved them, but they weren't quite long enough even when I wore flats. So, I'd have to say I'm drawn to this style. Even though I did catch the flap on a chair or two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759190 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 22:16:08 +0000 Nicole D 759190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are not too old for them, I wear Hudsons too and I am over 40. I have a pair of jeans that have back pocket flaps and I would probably avoid them in the future. The flaps can be a pain if you ever want to wear something longer on top ...they stick out a bit. Also, if you sit in a chair with an open back they can sometimes get caught on the chair when you stand up! Post a pic of you wearing them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759187 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 22:13:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 759187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought the same thing that the jeans were going to be ott!!<br /> If they look good &amp; you feel good then wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759175 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 21:47:16 +0000 shiny 759175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was fully prepared to see pockets with sequins or sparkly thread or pink stitching -- all things I steer clear of myself (I am also 47) as I think they look juvenile. </p> <p>But these are none of the above. They are just flap pockets. Flap pockets are highly recommended for those with flat rears as it counteracts that. </p> <p>I would still not wear them myself, but only because I find flap pockets very annoying. The flap tends to curl, and it interferes with wearing untucked tops. However if you tuck all the time and you don't mind the possibility of having to iron down the flaps, go for it! There's nothing "too young" about these jeans, to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759173 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 21:42:04 +0000 Anonymous 759173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way are you too old for those jeans. If they fit great and you love them then buy them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759171 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 21:37:55 +0000 DonnaF 759171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For you or anyone else who is considering this style, I think the more appropriate questions to ask are:</p> <p>1. Will you be wearing tops short enough for the pockets to show? If you never tuck, who will see the pockets?</p> <p>2. Is this design feature flattering to your backside's shape -- and that has nothing to do with age! Again, see #1.</p> <p>3. And do you really care about the backside flattery? Some of us are indifferent; some not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759146 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 21:03:06 +0000 Gaylene 759146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think age has anything to do with jean pockets. The question is more properly framed as do you like the look of this pocket style on your body?</p> <p>Just why is emphasizing your bottom verboten after a certain age? Other body parts may have slipped, but my butt looks much like it did three decades ago when I was in my thirties and I plan to emphasize it as long as I want. And wear my leather jackets to boot-- another supposedly off-limit garment to the over 50 set according to some "experts"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759144 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 20:57:55 +0000 Lyn D. 759144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First reaction is definitely NEVER too old to wear well fitting bootleg jeans, and I am older than you.<br /> I agree that rear pockets are more flattering than no pockets- generally- HOWEVER:<br /> These pockets are quite a feature and did draw my eye to that area.<br /> That being said I would have to reserve my judgement until I saw them on you, as you would style them. Let's see what others have to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hudson-jeans---am-i-too-gasp-old#post-759141 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 20:55:13 +0000 Jenava 759141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PSHAW!
