No you aren't, if you like it , wear it!

imjessie · 05/04/2017 16:58

I'm 42 and I've got one from last year . It depends on your style but I'm wearing mine again!

RickOShay · 05/04/2017 17:17

definitely not. I would admire your style.

noisewithdirton · 05/04/2017 18:24

Ok good! Normally don't actually care and I love it but wasn't sure if they are 'teenager' items! Thanks!

Mary Berry can rock a patterned bomber & she is a little older than you

LadyLapsang · 05/04/2017 19:22

Of course not, go for it!

EmmaC78 · 05/04/2017 19:25

Definitely not, there was one in the Oasis sale that I wished I had bought and am now regretting not getting.

OCSockOrphanage · 05/04/2017 19:32

Toots has beaten me to the mention of Mary Berry! If she can, you can.

Vegansnake · 05/04/2017 19:33

Never to old ,own yr style

AteRiri · 05/04/2017 21:18

No, definitely fine.

noisewithdirton · 05/04/2017 22:21

Emma that is where I got it! Bargain! Even if it hangs in my wardrobe forevermore, I love it. Thanks all.

I had a lovely old dear of about 75-80 come into the shop the other day and buy an embroidered biker jacket. She apparently has 11 others and loves them. So get your bomber jacket and wear it with pride.

EmmaC78 · 05/04/2017 22:58

I will have to check the Oasis website again. I am still tempted.

Think I might be having a fashion mid life crisis as I also bought some silver sparkly trainers the other week...

No! I love my bomber jacket, so useful and lots of compliments!

AteRiri · 07/04/2017 10:47

I'm watching Friends and Phoebe is wearing a patterned bomber jacket!

Actually, most of the clothes they're wearing, I see them nowadays too.

Hellofromme · 07/04/2017 10:49

My auntie in her 60s wears one and it looks really lovely.

CoolCarrie · 07/04/2017 16:19

Nothing wrong with sparkly trainers either!

Gingefringe · 07/04/2017 17:00

There was a lady well into her 70's on the train today wearing a quilted patterned bomber jacket, loads of jewellery and sparkly black trainers and she looked fab.

Emphasise · 07/04/2017 17:04

Ooh, I put one back that was a huge bargain today, not really because I thought I'm too old (46) but because it was too 'fashionable". I though probably as ive become interested they've been and gone and as I tend to wear my clothes until they fall apart, that I'd end up looking very dated.

It was beautiful but not at all subtle, with painted parrots and gold edging . Grin

BestIsWest · 07/04/2017 17:06

Fgs all, stop with the 'Am I too Old?' stuff. If it suits you and you like it, wear it.

noisewithdirton · 07/04/2017 18:37

Yes Best, in that case am I not too old for a pair of Lelli Kellys as I would love a pair Wink
