Over 40 and wearing leather jacket?

[sphynx]

I bought a black leather jacket from Mint Velvet. I really like it, it fits well and is lovely and soft. I am just a bit worried if I can pull it off. I am 41 years old, is this too old for a black leather jacket? Do any other over 40 year olds here wear them and how do you wear it? I plan to wear with indigo or black jeans. I was a bit worried after I saw article in the Daily Mail of Chris Jenner wearing black leather jacket and being accused of trying to dress too young. I don't actually plan to wear pink skinnies and animal print shoes with it!

this is an ancient thread

My step grandma is in her 60s and wears a leather bomber jacket and a biker jacket. She always like chic and timeless, its all about what you pair it with. She likes dark denim straight leg jeans or trousers and plain tops. I on the other hand wear mine with a skull print hoodie underneath and graphic print t shirts. Horses for courses.

What a lot of fuss, women look fantastic in leather! men on the other hand....

I am 30 and have the pearl organic liner biker one from there... I adore it and team it with soft knitwear, skinny jeans, all sorts of dresses etc.

No you're not! At all.

I'm 40 (41 soon) and I have a beautiful Mulberry leather biker jacket in brown. Wear it loads.

I also have a pair of leather biker trousers from All Saints which I wore a lot over the winter.

Obv I don't wear both at the same time or that would be Kris Jenner

Enjoy your fab jacket.

In fact pic on profile of me in leather trousers.

I have a collection of leather jackets. They're also the motorcycle/biker style ones.

I plan to wear them for several more decades, well into my old age.
