Is this beautiful, or hideous?

leather blazer I can see a zillion ways I could incorporate this into my wardrobe. But I'm worried I might look as though I'm trying so hard to look cool, and maybe I'd be better off with a plain leather blazer. And if I buy it, it will hang in my wardrobe to be admired and stroked.

Reminds me of Alfie Moon for some reason, sorry! Seems to an eastenders theme to it

Hideous.

Even if it wasn't you'd only have to lose a couple of the studs (guaranteed to happen at some point) to ruin it.

God, that's hideous. You would need long permed hair and to be singing 'The Final Countdown'

I've come full circle with leather jackets. I don't like bikers any more - much prefer blazers again.

Yes I am fickle.

I'm still not keen on that particular jacket though.

It looks very long, as someone has already mentioned, and not very fitted at the waist.This would do my thighs no favours at all, although yours might be fine.

I don't like the studs - I don't like all the hardware on some bikers either.

It looks a bit shiny.

That looks ridiculous, sorry. Like you're in a Kiss tribute act

There's something I like about it. I can't imagine many people could pull it off but if you're thinking about it, you probably can!

The proportions are all wrong. It could make long legs look short, it's boxy in a dated way and the collar looks like it would be annoying.

It's very 1980's. Don't like it, sorry.

I'm joining the chorus I'm afraid.
It's a bit pearly queen. And looks plasticky and cheap, sorry.
But as I always say, if you love it buy it. Life is too short for sartorial regrets.
