Q: I'm in my 40s, and my leggings are a wardrobe staple. Should I be wearing real trousers instead?
A: Leggings are a great staple, regardless of age. It's not how old you are, it's how thin your thighs are. Just bear in mind they are a casual piece — not for playing dress-up. They look best with an oversize buttoned shirt or a slouch...y knit top, always teamed with a flat, never a pump or a cropped top.
