What's your opinion of midriff shirts? Should they be limited to women under a certain age? The reason I ask is because, being in the Texas heat, I practically live in midriff shirts and wear them just about everywhere. However, I have been told that, because of my age (36) that I'm too old to be wearing them.

However...I feel that, since I work out very hard and watch what I eat, I should be able to wear them if I'd like. I know that I won't be young forever, and since I love fashion and being youthful, I want to keep wearing them for as long as I can. Anyway, I just thought I'd get opinions on whether its' okay to keep wearing them, or if I should start untying the knots in my shirts and restrict my midriff-baring activity to the swimming pool.

I would say that no one should wear a midriff baring shirt... unless it's at the beach/pool/while working in the fields/outside etc.

I have to be honest with you Amanda...although you look HOT in midriff shirts, they are not in style and haven't been in style for a long time....since the early 90s. It reminds me of high school...those midriff shirts.
Just my opinion. They are not classy.

I have to agree with MM. They were a big trend in the 90s that just aren't seen anymore, at least not where I live.

Do a lot of women wear them where you live?

If you are comfortable wearing them continue doing so.Age has little,if anything,to do with it.Live and dress for yourself,not other people.

Well, honestly I don't want my boys to see girls/women in middriff shirts in the grocery store.. just my perspective as a mom of two young boys.

I dont think grandmas should be wearing them or any woman over 50 even if they are in shape . why just the other day i was at the post office and this woman who was clearly a grandmother , had on a t back with low cut jeans . My aunt who is just a tad bit over 50 herself said how disgusting that looks so low class !! I have to agree women who are 50 are not 20 anymore and they have to come to terms with that .

My daughter calls them "belly shirts". She wore them in middle/high school but recently ditched them all after cleaning out her closet. She's 23 and in great shape...but so over that look.
