Am I too old for a denim jacket?

[DareIask]

I'm 56.

And should it be blue?

No way!! 50 soon and have a denim one and a peach one!

You may as well ask if you're too old to wear a jacket at 56.

Of course you're not too old.

Of course not.

I'm really trying to get out of a clothes rut, lose some weight and generally feel better about myself. I just don't want to look mutton dressed as lamb

Absolutely not too old. A blue one will do you for every outfit.
Get a black one too if you're feeling flush

I don't think anyone can be too old to wear something as classic as a denim jacket but you can be too large of boob as I've discovered. Damn things never hang right on my huge chest. Shame as I like the look with khaki jeans and a white shirt.

I just bought a pink one from M&S, I've never had one before.

I'm 53.

It's a bit boxy, think I'd prefer a bit of a dart in the sides as I'm a quite booby and a size 14, but I guess they're just like is that. I like it well enough, for days you don't need a proper cost and don't want to wear a cardigan!

Heck no!!! I will rock one in my 90’s if I can

Of course not! If you like it, wear it!

I didn't fancy a blue one myself as I wear jeans most of the time and double denim is awful! (I know it's still denim but you know what I mean)

Black doesn't go with jeans either. The pink will go well with jeans and and dresses, and linen trousers etc.

I bought a bra too - when will I learn my lesson about M&S bras? Anyway, doesn't fit, the cups are too small and the wires float somewhere over my sternum as if they are levitating. Annoyingly they sent me two by mistake as well.

My mum (71) was wearing one last week and it really suited her! Never too young

My Mum is 85.... she’s just bought a Mint Velvet denim jacket

No you’re not to old!!!!

I'm 57 and I wear one - got it in Next a couple of years ago. It's mid blue.

@VanGoghsDog would you say the M&S one is true to size?

I'm 57 and have a blue one. I also have trainers in many colours so perhaps the fashion police are coming for me.

I've just bought a fat face denim jacket and I'm 59. I thought I looked ok

@TipseyTorvey next have a fuller bust option if that's any help to you

I'm 55, I've just bought one cheaply from Vinted just to see how it fits with the rest of my wardrobe and whether I feel comfortable wearing it. Did the same with Matalan rip off DMs. I'm more likely to feel less self conscious trying something out of my comfort zone if I know I haven't spent megabucks so this has been a great way of doing it.

This is a great idea x

I'm 42 I've got a cropped bleached one from tesco which I love.

I notice next have some lovely distressed shaped ones this year I'm tempted by too.

I think with denim jackets you have to style them with no other denim or they look a bit dated. Over a dress etc

No one is too old they are very neutral I think

I've just started wearing one at 60.
I checked with DD first and she liked it.

I always order a 14 and it fits. It might be a bit loose round the middle but I think that's because it's my boobs that make me a 14.

Never too old. Lots out there this year.
Boxy cut white ones are fashionable. Classic blue denim and some quite fitted ones are about.

You're never too old!
