Is there an age limit on the skinny jean?

Joe's Jeans, Chelsea fit in Ryder wash

During a recent shopping trip, I tried on skinny jeans (Joe’s Jeans in a dark wash, made in the USA) for the first time.  I know that they’ve been around for quite awhile by now, and I was very slow to give them a chance.   I just kept thinking (hoping) that they’d go out of style, so there was no sense in my buying a pair.  Now, it seems the skinny jean isn’t going anywhere, so I decided to give them a chance. 

I’ve never been a big fan of things fitting tightly on my legs, but they were surprisingly flattering!  I liked the way they looked, but I just can’t picture myself wearing them very often.   Can those of us pushing 30–or older–get away with the skinny jean or is there an age limit?
