Too old to wear a leather biker jacket?

[PlumDogMillionaire]

What age is too old? If any...

Would love to hear what people wear them with too!

[Wrinklytights]

I absolutely love mine and intend to never stop wearing it. However I think the 'too old' and 'try hard' thing is bollocks and you should wear whatever you like.

I've always had one (not the same one but similar) since I was 15, the whole family chipped in to buy it. I think its the only staple in my wardrobe, it goes with absolutely everything and I am planning to always own one. It never occurred to me to think about age!

My teen dd when asked said leather biker jackets are what the cool mums wear

[PlumsGalore]

I have a black one and a pink one, I am 50. I love mine, have had a variation of one or another for years.

Maybe I need to review my wardrobe....nah, love them!

[FionaGatwick]

I hope there's no age limit, as I have a bunch of leather jackets!

I try hard to be vaguely clean & tidy, & to not scare small children. Does that count?

Absolutely, as long as you don't try too hard of course ...

[aforestgrewandgrew]

Never too old!

Me neither Remus, don't most of us try to be the best version of ourselves? I do try to look what I consider to be nice, because it makes me feel better. Maybe its cool to look like you make no effort but that's not for me.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I honestly don't know what the expression 'try hard' is even supposed to convey.

[WhatamessIgotinto]

I love them and don't give a shiny shite if anyone things I'm too old or try hard.

I have a dark grey one and a black one and like them with skinny jeans, dresses, skirts and thick tights etc.

Being 'too old' is a state of mind. Whether it be yours or someone else's.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Ouch. :(

[Floisme]

It is me, yes. But out of my league at the moment, thanks to new glasses and root canal

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I just shove the sleeves up, in a 1980s manner.

Flo - lovely colour, but the style would be a disaster on me! It seems very 'you' though, based on previous stuff I've seen you post.

[Floisme]

That's a lovely colour Remus - I think you need one for every day of the week.

Slight digression from bikers but I'm stalking this at the moment though it's already low stock so can't see it ever being reduced:

I've got two Oasis ones - they are excellent.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Flo - I'm hoping that by the time the January sales come round, it'll be five. This beauty

[FuckThatToOneSide]

Never too old!

That said, I really hate the look of most them on nearly anyone. That whole floral dress with biker jacket thing was done to death a few years ago and never really worked for me anyway. That has nothing to do with age though.

Maybe the ones I've seen people wearing haven't been very nice because they aren't the best quality. There might be some nice ones if you shop around.

[Floisme]

Well that was surreal. I was about to fire off a comment, starting reading the other posts and thought one sounded familiar then realised it was me!

I won't say much more lest I be accused of trying too hard but I hope you have found one, op and that it makes you smile whenever you wear it.

I love you too Remus. And your four biker jackets.

[TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince]

I'm 53, l have a pale blue leather one, well, sort of a pale denim colour.

I bloody love it, and wear it with pride and don't give a shit about what anyone else thinks😁

[Dailymaildailyfail]

I think as long as they're good quality and a good, flattering cut then they're a brilliant purchase. Whistles and M&S have both got some lovely styles in store at the moment, I think they're timeless!
