Plus Size Stripe Top Outfits
Thoughts on Distressed Jeans & Age
I get a lot of questions about the age-appropriateness of distressed jeans. First, as always, do what makes you happy. But, if you want my two cents, I think distressing can look good on anyone, at any age. If your age is a concern to you, here are a few thoughts:
- Distressing has become so mainstream that its not “shocking.” So, don’t worry, you’re not going to blow anyone’s mind. 😉
- Less can be more. You want to have enough distressing to make a point (and not look like you just have an accidental rip in your jeans), but not so much that large parts of your leg/skin is exposed.
- Pair distressed jeans with classic pieces, such as a button down or blazer, making the jeans your “trendy” focal point.

Great advice Alexa. I am 54 and wear distressed denim but I choose jeans that are not excessively so and pair them just as you’ve done in the post. The bottom line is dressing in what makes you feel good at any age.
Thank you, Susan. And yes, everyone should do what makes them happy!
Girl, you do know your way around a striped top!
Lol. Thanks!
I’ve never gotten anything from H&M. Just wondering if the shirts run small. Thanks.
Hi Tammy,
I definitely recommend reading their size chart. I think they run small, similar to F21 plus sizes. They’re more like extended juniors sizes.
The striped top from h&m looks perfect. I have been looking for that style for quite some time. Unfortunately it is no longer available. Do you have any ideas for a suitable replacement?
