How old is too old to wear a miniskirt?
Assuming your legs are toned and looking relatively nice. If you're not really advertising, but just happy to look nice, would you?

(I know this is a completely lame question, but I bought something that I now wonder if it looks completely silly on me now.) :shrug:

1. If you feel good about wearing it
go for it. Age is just a number ;)

3. If you got the legs and the ass...No such thing as "too old"...
Donnatella Versace's what, in her 50's? I'd do her.

(spare me the reality check of "yeah, but would SHE do YOU?" it's MY fantasy!)

4. No limit
...just one guy's opinion. In fact, given the conditions you gave above (toned, relatively nice legs) a miniskirt on someone older than a typical miniskirt-wearer makes me think ... "WOW".

9. Never too old
If you are still proud of your figure and legs, DO IT!

I saw a 50 something lady friend of mine dressed to go out for the evening in a simple black mini.......damn she was hot!

Never too old....enjoy!

10. I have a friend who is 60, and she just won a body-building contest...
Edited on Sun May-23-04 12:12 AM by Lisa0825
she dresses conservatively at home, but when they go to Cozumel (where I met her and her family), she wears short shorts and miniskirts, and parties like a teeny-bopper! And her husband (who is 17 years younger than her) loves all the attention his li'l hottie wife gets too!

edited to add:
I don't find body buildiing women to be that attractive myself, but when she isn't all pumped up, she's adorable. Still, I have a lot of respect for how hard she works to be in shape. Go to this link. she's the first place winner for Masters Women - Over 50. http://www.craigproductions.com/ECpics04bbw.htm

11. It really is based on how you look
rather than a number, but too many people delude themselves that they still look good (in a mini, for instance) when in reality the should have taken up wearing something else years ago.

Probably the best way to find out would be to post a photo where no one would know it was you. And be prepared for brutally honest comments.

14. It depends a bit on the skirt, I think
I've always been amused by women who try to dress in excessively 'young' styles and end up looking silly - I mean like the 40 year old school girl thing, not trying to imply that everyone over 40 has to wear a muu-muu. So I guess if it's just a question of length then go for it, but if it's one of those trendy little pastel, asymmetrical, tiered things then you may want to think carefully. Of course, ultimately it doesn't matter what other people think - if you feel happy, comfortable, and sexy then go for it, and people who don't approve can suck eggs.

20. Dude!
That dude looks like a lady....

(but not much)

It's the undercarriage that subverts the look for me, I guess. :D

one of the more redeeming features of either photo.

Entertainmentwise. :7

18. Too old phurphoo.
If it looks good and it makes you feel good, wear it.

If you feel uncomfortable in it, don't wear it.

24. Miniskirts don't go well with canes, walkers or wheelchairs.
Other than that, GO FOR IT!

And by all means, take a few (tastefully discreet) photographs of yourself modeling it.

29. Well...
I knew this woman at this place I used to work. She was 38 and looked like 20-something. She still had the cuteness of youth. One time, I saw her bend over and a little bit of a thong popped out. I couldn't help but feel a little turned on by it. I certainly would not have minded seeing her in a miniskirt. Don't think I am a pervert. I am 24 and have seen many women in their 30's 40's and even 50's who are absolutely beautiful and could turn heads dressing that way. So go for it. I am sure you are quite a looker from the way you describe yourself. I am a legs guy myself too.

31. As long as the wearer remembers to wear underwear then I'm cool with it
In a meeting one day, my eyes started wandering around the room. Unfortunately one of the locations my eyes landed upon happened to be a miniskirt where there was no underwear underneath! :puke:

GROSS!

33. the legs are the last to go
No reason not to wear a mini skirt if you have the legs for it. Some 16 year olds can't wear a mini, some 50 year olds can. The legs need to be toned, not spaghetti sticks, so be honest with yourself. But if your legs truly look good, no problem!

36. how mini is mini?
There is such a thing as age-appropiate dressing, but one has to take into consideration personality and style.

Basically if you are a very trendy and hip person(disregarding age) go for it. But if you are 65 wearing a minskirt that is 4inches above the knee, don't leave the house. Instead try a nice knee-length pencil skirt.

38. 2-3 inches above the knee
Edited on Sun May-23-04 03:09 PM by SarahBelle
I'm 32 (with a younger face) and a size 8-10 with toned, muscular legs. I was just having some odd, insecure moment last night. I know I'd look fine. Maybe just a bit too fine at times again and I'm a mommy too.
Maybe I can put on that denim mini skirt, a tank top, and f*ck with one of their heads for once though. :7 Not really me, but it's an idea anyway.

Can't believe this thread's still going.
