A survey of 2,000 people has shown that most of them think jeans should not be worn by anyone over the age of 53.
Jeans, the survey concludes, are a younger person’s game and don’t look suitable on the older man or woman. I can’t – as someone over the age of 53 – help but agree. The main reason is that, as we age, the skin on our faces and hands start to sag and get wrinkly. Our bodies lose their shape. Jeans, too, often after only a few months, tend to get saggy, wrinkly and faded, and can lose their shape very quickly – and do we really want, as we age, to wear clothes that reflect the general decrepitude of our bodies? We may be collapsing physically, but surely most of us would want to look as if our standards, at least, remain intact?

I don't believe a word of it;)
I've got a pair of jeans on now...but I'm only 52 so I can obviously get away with it:)
Shorts for me, all year round. 51.5 yrs :)
are you a postman ? they have a comp in each depot as to wearing shorts the longest into winter
I am well over 53 and have a few old pair of jeans I use for work in the winter but if it turns really cold I have a pair of thermal lined strides I use
no not a postman, i juggle gardening and taxi driving (ditching the taxi asap) im in norfolk, we havnt had a cold spell for ages.
There's talk of a cold spell coming this winter. Don't tell Gary RK:)))
Seriously, farmers around where I live are talking about a hard cold snap (with expected snow) for mid to late November.
Is it seen as unprofessional to wear jeans for work?
Proper work jeans such as Scruffs put you in the realm of tradesperson in my book. https://www.scruffs.com/trade-denim.html
Bog standard jeans with no extra pockets or kneepads look cowboy.
Talking of the cowboy look, those leather holsters for secateurs look like a gun holster!
