You've made it to 70! Wear what you want! That's my opinion :)

Why the h**l not. Probably not a good idea if you're going out on a date but there is no law against it.

Greek women wear them in black when their husbands die.

My husband's not dead  and I'm into them.

LOL :)

I'm trying to picture it ... Hmmmmm?

If a woman any age has shapely legs and the top she wears covers her rear end, I think they would look OK on anyone.

Why? It seems you dress for the attention. Why be embarrassed when you get it?

How do you know what this 70 year old looks like? She may have the legs that work well with leggings. Look at Tina Turner. She's in her 70's and still has legs most women would die for.

I think that by age 70 you should wear whatever you want to wear, at 54 I wish I could get away with it,... I will before I die..........

They can wear whatever they want, I've seen some FINE 70 year old women with leggings that really looked good. Go for it ladies.

In the winter I wear them under my pants at work.So what? no one sees  and my legs and rear are warm.

Congrats to where you are in life!!  Can you wear them?,..certainly.  Should you wear them?,..probably not.. There are many other pieces of clothing that will be much more flattering to you , if that matters to you.  Otherwise, go for it!!  I'm 48 and I wouldn't be caught dead in them anymore, b

Wear whatever makes you happy.

Ahem, I hear talk of “old grandmas.” A woman can be a grandma at age 38. We don’t all keep our teeth in a glass. 

Only if she looks like she's 20.  Answer is NO !

Is that what they call a "hot mess"? :)

Go ahead and wear them if you want to but...only to bed on a cold night.  Surely you don't think that they look attractive, do you?      aaawwwwkkkkkk      :(

I say wear them,leggings are back in fashion,we have just finished our winter in Australia and leggings were the fashion,worn with boots and lovely long tops/shirts.Dress them down with a jumper/sweater and a pair of joggers,comfy and warm too.

If you are 70 I say you wear whatever you darn well please.

sure, id wear them if i didnt have this darn ostomy!

Listen ladies, I am over sixty and wear leggings with a long top. I look a heck of a lot better in leggings than some grossly over weight twenty year olds who wear them.  It is how clothing looks on the person that matters...not their age.
