I have bell bottoms and I love my bells.  Im 76.  Why do you think they would make you look like your trying to look young?


@Imaoldhippie  Because I've already worn them the first time around, in the late 60's, through 70's, and maybe early 80's.  I'm now IN my 60's.  I was out with our daughter the other day, she had a super cute pair of big bells on. I just wondered if mother snd daughter should be wearing the same styles.  Honestly, I think I'm going to go for it.  🤗

@JeanLouiseFinch I have no idea why you would think flared pants are for a certain age group.  Never occurred to me.  I think body type is more important in terms of the style of the pant.  If they are too short, I would look for a length I was comfortable with.

Another vote for - If you love them, buy them, and wear them.

Definitely.  I can get the correct length from the stores website.

@JeanLouiseFinch, get the right length for you and wear them in good health. Not a thing wrong with that.

If you like them and want them, buy them.   You aren't going to style them the way a 20 year old would so they will look modern but not like you are trying too hard.

Yes, thanks @Hippiified .  I looked up the talls and they're 34.5". That might be a bit too long, but I appreciate you taking the time to look them up and post the recommendation.

You're perfectly right to order the jeans.  Without fringe (which take then down to casual, and more so if the thighs are lighter) the classic look is sleek and sophisticated.  

These jeans are all over the runways.  Get them while available.
