I realize I may have lost perspective so I am asking the advice of you fashionconscious <a href=http://www.ginon.fr/uggpascher.html>bottes ugg pas cher</a> folks.
I am now 41, have kids and spend most of the time with them at the park, pool etc. I want to look nice, stylish, but not tacky or like I'm trying to be a teenager again. Are those "skinny jeans" okay for me? Should I concentrate more on dress pants and skirts and bouses than jeans and teeshirts?
I have an okay figure, and I like the feeling of the spandexy pants but I do feel they're a little more suggestive than the jeans we wore ("back in the day.").

Only where skinny jeans if you're skinny. That's the main rule. Otherwise, it's a case by case basis.

There are flare/widelegged jeans that have that same spandexy material but look good on ANYBODYjust look for the word "stretch" on the label.
As long as you're not wearing mom jeans, you'll look hip and cool by comparison.

You may want to avoid the really tight, skinny jeans but a pair of quality, nicefitting dark jeans is timeless. Don't confuse wellfitting with supertight jeans.
Browse through the archives at The Sartorialist and you'll find tons of pics of men looking great in nonhipster jeans.

My daughter, source of all fashion knowledge at my house, thinks I look good in skinny jeans, and I am a fair piece over 40 (not to mention 30 pounds overweight).

Yeah, you pretty much need to have skinny legs; more specifically, those with a large butt/hips/thighs are really done no favors with those pants. However, it really can't hurt to go try a few different styles on; I'd wear flats (I find those look best with skinny jeans), and a nice cardigan sweater set. Good luck!

No way. Dress the way you like it.
I am 40 and with kids and for what it is all worth I was wearing today skinny black jeans and a cool halter top, electric blue. Took the kids out to lunch. The outfit improved my crappy attitude immensely. And that is enough for me.
If you have ample hips, go for the longer tops.
Then again, I never care what they say.

As a 40something guy, I say they are fine on women "of a certain age," in general.
My detailed <a href=http://www.regie-conseil.fr/uggfrance.html>ugg boots</a> opinion: Anything that fits well is fine, if you have the figure. If they are obviously tight, then I think it starts to look like you are trying to be your own daughter. We tend to excuse indiscretions of the young. But at 40 it should look like you know better.
On the bigger picture, not just jeans: I appreciate a woman of my generation who wears modern clothing that suits her personality and can carry it off. If it's too trendy, then it looks too young.
For example, I probably dress younger than most guys my age, and it seems to suit me. BUT. if I went out and got <a href=http://www.cnab.net/uggparis.html>uggs pas cher</a> this season's trendy hoodie with studs and skulls (or whatever), I would look ridiculous. Toning it back <a href=http://www.ginon.fr/uggpascher.html>ugg france</a> a bit can allow you to dress young without looking like you are trying to fool others or yourself.
