No there isn’t.

PrimalLass · 05/10/2018 16:46

Definitely not

I do wish us women wouldn't hem ourselves in in this way. Wear what you want. Do what you want. Really.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 05/10/2018 16:52

No anyone can wear them whatever your age, but they have become the uniform of the 40 plus woman it’s a very ubiquitous look particularly when paired with skinny jeans and boots.

SillyLittleBiscuit · 05/10/2018 16:53

Nope.

TigerDrankAllTheWaterInTheTap · 05/10/2018 16:54

Wear what you like! I can't fathom this idea that you might be too old at 48 to wear anything, but that's because I'm a decade older, I suppose.

MsHomeSlice · 05/10/2018 16:55

yes, yes there is, that's why you haven't seen Helen Mirren on tv recently. The fashion police have her under lock and key for being old, and in charge of a leather jacket.

or maybe that is a lie.

Just bought my first at 50. It’s an oxblood from Mango Violet.

isseywithcats · 05/10/2018 17:30

im 62 and wear the full works when we go out on our motorbike, leather trousers with lacing down the sides fringed suede biker jacket, your never too old to wear a biker jacket

MadameJosephine · 05/10/2018 17:33

I wore mine to work today and I’m 47 so I hope not

gladiatorgirl · 05/10/2018 18:28

I'm 67 and i'm going to buy one now -)

MulticolourMophead · 05/10/2018 18:43

I've got one and I'm 50. My look isn't fashionable, though. I tend to look very metalhead....

NotUmbongoUnchained · 05/10/2018 18:44

I’ve only actually seen older women wearing them so go for it!

AuntieStella · 05/10/2018 18:54

No,there is no age for clothes

Making ageist assumptions, rather than checking your mirror , and wearing clothes you love, is limiting and unfortunate

My 60 something neighbour wears hers out on her Harley.

laceygo · 05/10/2018 20:28
