I'm an over 65 who has found lots of help and inspiration here. I found that high rise jeans like NYDJs are ok but I've yet to feel fab in a pair. I like Kut from the Kloth Diana's sized up a size and Citizens of Humanity, Hudson, and Paige, also sized up just a bit. The premium denim feels wonderful. You can often find premium denim discounted at Nordstrom Rack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-for-my-60s-body#post-1223782 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 16:18:58 +0000 Parsley 1223782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi rocs, welcome from another over-60 who still wants to dress in a current and fun way! I don't have any specific jeans recommendations (not sure any of mine qualify as sexy, per se!), but I think you'll find lots of good ideas here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-for-my-60s-body#post-1223775 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 16:00:44 +0000 JAileen 1223775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in my mid 50s and am wearing my new Kut from the Kloth boyfriend jeans right now! Everyone here, especially Angie, was very helpful in dragging me into a more current style. They have all been very kind to me, even though I am somewhat style impaired.</p> <p>I wanted to try the jeans on, but ended up having several sizes sent from Nordstrom because the nearest store is two hours away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-for-my-60s-body#post-1223763 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:29:04 +0000 Catnip 1223763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!&nbsp; You have a terrific attitude, and I know from my own experience that it makes a tremendous difference in how you look and feel.&nbsp; I'm 70, and this forum is very welcoming to women of all ages.&nbsp; </p> <p>Finding the right jeans is so important.&nbsp; I just lost a few pounds and am on a search for new jeans myself.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-for-my-60s-body#post-1223663 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 13:19:30 +0000 Golden 1223663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds if you have a great attitude and outlook, and I totally agree with you. Sounds like you have it down but there is is good advice here as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-for-my-60s-body#post-1223622 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 12:06:28 +0000 Janet 1223622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! I'm not quite 50 but I hear you about feeling younger. It's great that there are so many YLF forum members of all ages with great style. </p> <p>I'm also a fan of premium denim -- among my faves are AG and Paige -- but I just bought a pair of Gap bootcuts that I'm really enjoying as well, so I'd say great jeans exist all across the retail spectrum. I agree that body type plays way more of a role in my jean selection than some arbitrary notion of "age appropriateness." As we've discussed here before, I think more in terms of "situation appropriateness." I own distressed boyfriend jeans with holes in the knees, as well as streamlined dark-wash dressier bootcuts. </p> <p>I think so much depends on what style you want in jeans, and what particular fit and flattery needs you have. Looking forward to seeing what you find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-for-my-60s-body#post-1223557 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 09:34:44 +0000 Style Fan 1223557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also a fan of premium denim.&nbsp; I find the fit and wash to be superior to other denim.&nbsp; I don't think age is really a factor (I am 58 years old) but body type.&nbsp; If premium denim seems too pricey then some people have had luck with GAP jeans.&nbsp; They have lots of styles, etc.&nbsp; </p> <p>I wear Fidelity relaxed skinnies (that may be a brand only available in Canada), Citizens of Humanity straight legged, and Citizens of Humanity boot cut.&nbsp; My Boyfriend jeans are Silver Sams (no longer available).</p> <p>Angie gives lots of recommendations for jeans.&nbsp; I find her suggestions very helpful.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-for-my-60s-body#post-1223544 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 07:36:59 +0000 CocoLion 1223544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! &nbsp;I am a big fan of premium denim for superior fit. &nbsp;I like Rag &amp; Bone for their higher rises. &nbsp;I'm not sure where you are located, but Nordstrom has a great selection of denim and their staff will fit you into the right jeans. &nbsp;Nordstrom also carries Kut from the Cloth, which is priced lower than premium, US made jeans, but of good quality and fit. &nbsp;NYDJ is another brand I've heard good things about and it's not as pricey as some premium lines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jeans-for-my-60s-body#post-1223540 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 06:59:51 +0000 rocs316 1223540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stumbled upon this site when I googled 'sexy jeans for my fit 60's body'. The bomber jacket ensemble got my attention, particularly the Jeffrey Campbell Everwell boots! I love shoes! But&nbsp;reading other members comments about dressing 'age' appropriately prompted me to become a member. As a boomer the classic look served me well as a professional. However, now retired with a part-time job in a more casual environment I've embraced a fun "dress for me" style.&nbsp;I agree with&nbsp;the other women who say a quality haircut, makeup, and taking care of yourself is&nbsp;very helpful&nbsp;as we accept the aging journey. But what I find most invigorating is&nbsp;ATTITUDE. I can't change my birth year but I can adjust my attitude and enjoy the options I have to express&nbsp;ME - the person&nbsp;I am right now!&nbsp;I want joy everyday in my life so I choose to wear&nbsp;what&nbsp;makes <u>me</u> feel good. A&nbsp;combo of classic/contemporary works for me. Now, because I've taken care of myself over the years and dress the way I do, people often think I am 10-15 years younger than my age!&nbsp;I didn't find the answer to which&nbsp;"sexy' jeans to buy for my 5'4", 130lbs., 64 old body but I&nbsp;know I will learn much from youlookfab! </p>
