Q: Do you think that there are any age restrictions on fashion? Should women in their upper 30′s & 40′s wear Ugg boots or skinny jeans, or should there be an age limit, if any, on certain fashions or trends?
A: Although there are certain fashions that are deemed “age appropriate,” I wouldn’t say Uggs or skinny jeans are one of them. There really isn’t an age limit on who can wear Ugg boots or skinny jeans as long as you wear them with age-appropriate fashions. Plus there are plenty of people who wear Uggs for their warmth, not necessarily because their “fashionable.” If you’re in your 40′s, you shouldn’t be wearing them with a mini-skirt, as a mini-skirt would have an age limit. After a certain point, it just doesn’t work anymore. Neither of these Ugg photos are age-appropriate for someone in their 40′s:

As for skinny jeans, assuming they look good on your body type, age really isn’t an issue as long as you’re wearing them with an age-appropriate top. So wearing them with a cleavage-showing halter top to pick up your child from school is not a good idea.
