What age is too old? If any...

Would love to hear what people wear them with too!

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

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.

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

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.

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 ... Grin

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

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!

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

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!

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.
