Shall I keep the denim jacket or send it back?

[sweetheart]

Who out there has a denim jacket? Do you wear it a lot?

I've just ordered one and wondering if I should keep it or send it back. I used to have one which I didn't wear very much.

I'm just the wrong side of 35 and a bit overweight if that makes a difference.

I only wear mine in summer, again over a summer dress or skirt/ tshirt combo (to avoid the double denim thing).

I could probably live without it, but it's handy for those four or five warm-ish days a year!

I have 2 denim jackets and wear them loads in the summer.

Keep it!

Any chance of a picture?

it's this one

Yep , I wear them loads in the summer , perfect for wearing with patterned trousers and over dresses .

Mine is 20 years old - bought it as a teenager! Still gets worn every spring and summer.

Nice. Can't beat a classic denim jacket. Really useful over dresses, skirts, linen trousers etc.

I've got one from Oasis as well, looks very similar to yours OP.

They're cut very nicely and look great with dresses and skinnies.

It is slightly stonewashed? I'm looking for a dark denim one at the moment. Ideally I'd like it more like a block colour (ink) than washed effect. Hard to find one that has a nice fit too though.

Lovely I think they are classics though saying that I don't have one at the moment.

Have had so many over the years in various shapes, colours & sizes!

I've got one, great with dresses in summer

I wear mine loads in spring summer - today I had it on with a black leather skirt, black jumper and opaque tights so it doesn't need to be really summery - and find it a really useful item. Mine's fairly dark blue fromTopshop, but I had a very pale Primark one which I wore absolutely loads until I replaced it with this one a couple of years back.

It looks lovely, and you are definitely not too old for it.

Maybe i should look in Primark to get a cheaper one if I'm not sure I'll wear it much

wild rose - it's quite dark, I wouldn't call it stone washed. Esprit was linked to on another thread and they have loads of denim jackets in lots of differ enc colours

It's a lovely jacket. Your age and weight don't matter.

I have one which I don't wear an awful lot tbh because I wear jeans most of the time and won't do double denim. It's a look I remember from my youth, I didn't like it then either.

Ooh, I love the rose gold buttons. Keep it, I have two, one dark blue denim that's the same sort of style as the one you've ordered but with gunmetal buttons, and a lighter blue one that's sort of 80s style with silver buttons. I love them both, especially now it's warm enough to wear them. ❤

That's a nice jacket and I think it's a good price. I wear a denim jacket on warm summer days as my coat. I'll wear it with anything, a summer dress, skirt, jeans - I don't really mind being seen in double or mismatched denim either. I just bought myself a new one in the mid season sales as last year's is a bit big due to weight loss.

I bought one in Hush a couple of years ago and was similarly unsure but it is really useful in summer.

keepon I find my oasis jacket fits really nicely, I too like mine fitted well.

..I do have a smallish chest though (34A)

I am 50 next month. I don't think (memory lapse) that I have ever had a denim jacket UNTIL THIS YEAR ... I love it and have worn it lots over jumpers and just breaking it out over t shirts. It just works. Like a denim shirt but sort of 'more'. That said I think the fit has to be perfect for you (not necessarily fitted but not too long or too short or too bulky or too anything really). I have been trying to find one for a few years now and only found the one this year (Gap 'vintage'). Good luck. If you like it you'll wear it.

I have a white one and a black one and I find them really useful. I think a blue denim jacket is really nice but it doesn't feel right on me.
