    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.

    That's just it, things change and the legs aren't what they used to be! Some class is called for. More appropriate attire is called for. I simply don't want to be one of those people others whisper about behind my back in pity because what I choose to wear isn't flattering or is down-right awful!! I KNOW there are those women out there who know where I'm coming from. How about a little support in defense of taste and appropriateness, Ladies!! ! Giving up gawdiness for tastefulness is something I won't ever regret. And I continue to get positive remarks and compliments daily from women and men on my clothes/dress and hair. I still get a little embarrassed hearing it but also appreciate it, as well. Alright,...I'm DONE!

    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 wear them under a dress, not otherwise. I'm very slim by the way just 112lbs.

    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..........

    I am four years younger than you. You can get away with it.

    I've got 10 pounds to go......

    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

    Sorry, my computer hiccuped, twice and then my answer posted magically before I was done. To finish "but that's just me. Some older women wear 'hip' clothing very well with the right accessories and accompaniments. Trust your mirror and your own judgement!"

    You're kidding, you must look like an old grandma.
    michmar118

    Wish I could send you a pic of myself, hardly an old grandma, at all. I take probably too much pride in my looks, which is exactly WHY I don't wear "leggings". I prefer to wear clothing that is classier and more flattering. I wore leggings in the late eighties, I've moved on.

    48 isn't old and leggings have changed since the 80's...........check it out. Fun.
    michmar118

    Didn't say I was old because I'm not. Leggings are leggings.....1987 or 2011....the shape or style of them hasn't changed......they are glorified pantyhose. No thanks. :-]

    Some women are still very attractive at 70.. . .like my cousin, Margot ( the T is silent ) She's 72 and still sexy and pretty and slender.

    Betsey Johnson. 


    Wear whatever makes you happy.

    Fashion Icon....in her own very special way!

    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 !

    Do you realize that with a dress over the leggings all it would be is black hose. What’s the big todo over this? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?

    tee hee.

    So now you add a dress into the mix. That's different.Without the dress, it's a mess.

    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.
