I think you could def get away with that.

In some sleb nonsense mag I saw recently they do a feature on what you should be wearing that is 'fashionable now' and suitable for yer age. Blazers featured for the... uh... over 25's

Very 80s, if that's the look you're going for.

Yes I think you can wear it and look cool. just not on the school run, it looks too much like a boys school blazer even with the sleeves rolled up !

I think its too 80's which is ok if you weren't around the first time

But if you were then a no no for me
