Would you wear this jacket?

[BigFart]

I’ve just ordered this... do you think it’s a bit ‘older woman’ though? No offence meant by that but I’m hoping you get what I mean!
I’ve been looking for a collarless jacket d thought this was nice... second guessing myself now though.

The shape and collar are fab, I like the length too. Versatile.

I just would never wear fake leather. So sweaty-making. And not durable.

But if you’re vegan I guess that’s a legitimate choice.

I know, I was put off by the faux leather too but I couldn’t find any genuine leather collarless jackets. They all had these great big biker collars. I have a big bust so don’t want the bulkiness.

I've actually tried it and wasn't keen on it on me but it's a lovely jacket
I have big boobs and ended up with this one which is gorgeous

It reminds me of something Shirley in Eastenders would wear

Yes, it's too long.

I probably would not wear either, but I love your user name 😊

I like leather jackets but not this one. For me, I don’t like the shape of it or the quilting

Ah Jesus @latheritup you’ve put me right off it now. Wonder if I can cancel my order? 🤔😂

Can anyone find me a bloody jacket then? I’m obviously no good at this shopping/clothing myself malarkey. I just want something I can throw on over a dress or jeans so I can look like the cool girls 😭

Hahahaha, I'm so sorry!!

This is expensive but this is more the style you want to be heading for.

This one is better priced and also lovely!

Haha Shirley

Have you tried on a similar jacket with a collar before? As for me, I think the lack of collar is part of the issue. I don’t think all jackets with a collar would be unflattering on you

I'm an older woman and I think it's a bit 1980's. If you're looking for a black leather biker jacket without a collar, what about something like this? ...

This is the grey Wallis one with collar on me, and I'm a size 18 and a 34K

Ooh that looks lovely on you @QueenOllie I actually really like the shorter length but I have saddlebags so I was hoping to hide them... this is why I end up looking like a frump - too many body hang ups! 😬😂
The more I look at it the more I’m not sure... can’t cancel it so will have to just try it on when it gets here and send it back

Have you considered a leather blazer? They’re v trendy right now, so not as timeless in comparison, but you’d get the longer length and the less bulky collar you’re after. I bought one from Zara for £49.

Have leather jackets made a comeback? I'm 50 and wore this sort of thing in my twenties. God I feel old

Leather jackets never went away! They’ve always been cool... I think they’ve just been tidied up a bit now iyswim.
Hmm, I could try a blazer... might look a bit too ‘dressy’ for me though, I need something casual ish.

Ok, this one is the opposite of what I said I wanted but what do we all think of this one?

I’m thinking the asymmetrical zip might make me look a bit less... busty?

I think that ones really lovely, really wearable with so many things. I have one similar and wear it all the time. However you will someone larger endowed than me, lol, to comment on the busty element!

😬 these boobs are the bane of my life! I just don’t look good in anything! I love looking at how people dress and often spot an outfit that looks gorgeously put together... but when I try it just looks ridiculous on me.
It’s a shame because the rest of me is ‘ok’. I have slim legs, a niceish waist (if you ignore the c section tum!) but nothing looks good on me. Oh and obviously the saddlebags need work 😂

Anyway, back to the jacket, I do quite like that second one I’ve found... just wondering if it’s too short 🤔

Just throwing in my tuppence worth. I have very fine saddlebags indeed and I prefer your second Wallis choice to your first. For me, I would find the first one a very unflattering length. At least the second one would show off my waist a bit, and not end up across my backside. I like something that ends above or below my widest bit, not across it.
But of the links here, the Allsaints one is my favourite. The Reiss one is nice too. Not keen on the House of Leather one.

The Allsaints one is lovely. Not keen on the rest.

Oooft, you lot have expensive taste! 🙈

I’m an older woman and wouldn’t wear that jacket.

@doodleygirl because you think it’s hideous?
