Seeking the perfect leather blazer - what do you think

I have a tendency to sometimes focus on something missing in my wardrobe, thinking that it will be life changing! Not quite, but you know what I mean…

Currently I am thinking that a leather blazer will be perfect for going into work and weekend wear. I have a really nice plain biker style leather jacket but don’t wear it that it that much as it’s quite fitted and I can’t really fit much more than a very fine jumper or T-shirt under it. So thinking about something a bit more roomy but not huge.

has anyone bought anything like that recently?

the only one I have found is sosander one but it looks very form fitting (and it’s hard to look past the shocking styling)

@Puppylucky i also have this theory that once you get a bit older it’s more difficult to look good in vintage items - I think some people can pull it off but otherwise it can look a bit “I have had this in my wardrobe for 40 years and I am still wearing it”. Whereas if an 18 year old wears a vintage jacket, it’s very clearly a fashion choice.

God that's so true of none classic pieces. I have an absolutely amazing, funky pearlescent blue 80's leather jacket. It would look fabulous on a trendy twenty year old.
Looks like fancy dress on 50 year old me 😂

You can also buy Sosander via Next I ordered a couple of their leather blazers that way (to try) and the quality was terrible. But the ones I ordered were quilted the plain leather might be nicer.

I am the opposite of the target market for that brand! Petite with very small boobs!
