Are these leather jackets classic?

[WiseOwlRelaxing]

And even if they are classic, would you think that a 50 something woman would look like she was trying to look edgy! I am only 5'1''

No immediate plans to buy either, just wondering if I'm too old for this style. I dress simply but I"m fussy about what I'll wear.

I like the tan one best. I'm fairly young and no I wouldn't think you were trying to be edgy though I don't think you should give a toss if someone does think so. Edgy is cool regardless of age.

Neither are to my taste, I like a biker jacket style myself.
However, it's up to you what you wear! 🙂

Yeh, I don't really care! Don't know why I said that. I think I'd know instinctively if a style worked for me or not! A lot of styles that come in to fashion just do not work for me. Wider legs that are cropped as well! Won't be going there.

I don't like them, sorry. Prefer biker style - not keen on the bottom/elastic-looking bits.

OP I am over 50 and wear leather biker jackets and I'd also wear the style you've posted, I really like them.

I love those, the tan one more so. I'm 49 and would wear them! Go for it OP!

I’m older than you and love my leather jackets. Don’t like the style you’ve posted tho. I prefer more fitted ones . Like this [ www.massimodutti.com/gb/women/collection/leather/nappa-leather-biker-jacket-c1725511p9111912.html?colorId=700&categoryId=1725511

@RunnerDown my kind of Jacket too!

Hmm not sure about either of those styles. The material is very shiny and I don’t think the shape is as classic as a biker style. I’m not sure about the elastic/bottom on them. I don’t think it’s an age thing, I think there are better jackets out there. Where are they from?

I like grey ones www.google.com/shopping/product/7629354781821812686?q=Grey+leather+jacket&client=ms-android-google&biw=393&bih=680&tbs=cat:5598,vw:g,init_ar:SgVKAwjeK0oHsgQECPanIA%3D%3D,ss:44&prmd=sinv&sxsrf=ALeKk00Mt7ESRu9hQC49RdBo3_GRfKaHMw:1610813746671&prds=epd:4723344427118849201,paur:ClkAsKraX1HOGaTnfQGApE2Bh1liwpE-Fc7i_vwPFQoT2rraZrBUzBkCHvEnyLYGX0Tvj1O1x1kUCIkk1kaHjLqeivsm19VFgDChUvam6G6DQTWoj3TwIJLE8xIZAFPVH72IgvkfEmPd5DlchPW2Fbep567yhQ,cdl:1,prmr:1,cs:1

The yellow one looks odd with the contrasting patches, so definitely not a classic. The brown doesn't have that issue.

I don't think leather jackets have the Edgy connotation they did when we were young

I say go for it - it will take a basic outfit up a level.

(and I don't like the Massimo one, with all those ridiculous floppy zips and flaring out at the bottom)

@merryhouse
We all have different tastes. Maybe it’s enough to say you don’t like something - bit rude to make further disparaging comments

I love them! I think they are more interesting than bikers which are a bit ubiquitous and would look great with the newer looser fit jeans cuts- very retro. The burgandy one is my favourite - where are they from?

@WiseOwlRelaxing i love the burgundy/ox blood one. I used to have a similar one 10 years ago but lost it in a house move. I would love another like it.

I think if you feel like these will suit you then go for it. They are the kind of jackets that could look pretty nice or terrible but I would avoid the tan. Something about it is a bit sickly? Wear it with confidence whatever you do :)

bomber jackets are classic and can be very cool. depends what you wear it with. they don't suit me because tits (unless I'm trying to look like a potato) but eg. Julia Hobbs (Vogue) looks amazing in one.

I like the darker one but not the tan one

I wouldn't call that a classic style, but it might be for you. I think classics vary depending on what suits the individual. For example, roll necks are an acknowledged classic, but make me look like a Carry On actress, camel makes me look ill and I dislike navy, burgundy or black as single colours. Whereas, bold coloured wrap dresses and big jewelry make me look amazing!

I think they are lovely, especially the darker one. It reads as a neutral piece, that would finish off many outfits. I am always a bit dubious about the concept of "classic" anyway, as things change (an 1980s "classic" navy blazer would have a very different cut than one today, and would look dated rather than classic). If I saw someone wearing this, I would like their style. The burgundy one looks polished.

I love the darker one - where is it from? I don’t think you’re too old or that it will look edgy.

They're both from Coach.

This is true. It's just another way of selling clothes, ie, these clothes are classic For a while, maybe!

I don't love either of them but out of the two I like the burgundy one best.
I am not a fan of biker jackets either. I find them v old fashioned or predictable. I'm 50 & have never owned one & likely never will.
I do have a v neat leather jacket with no buttons/ zip & no collar from a small boutique in Italy (in a sale) I like it but wear it infrequently

If the shape and colour suits your figure then go for it . Bomber jackets are definitely classic , having been in production for more than 25 years which I believe the definition?
