Thoughts on this bomber jacket?

85 replies

bringmesunshiiine · 20/11/2024 22:12

I feel that the pictures aren't the best, as I can't be sure of the colours, but wondering if this is nice or hideous? Does anyone have it?

Not sure if I'm just feeling nostalgic about the autumnal bomber jacket I had in my early teens Grin

Not nice. Sorry.

mynameiscalypso · 20/11/2024 22:16

That is exactly the kind of thing I'd buy and then spend eternity staring at it in my wardrobe and never really knowing how or when to wear it.

Useofstirm · 20/11/2024 22:18

Sorry no 😕

Owly11 · 20/11/2024 22:18

If you have to ask, you know it's not right!

Buttermill · 20/11/2024 22:19

I love it very unique but as @mynameiscalypso said I wouldn't have a clue where to wear it or how to style it. It seems maybe more holiday evening wear?

fitnessmummy · 20/11/2024 22:21

I think it's gorgeous!! Paired with jeans, dresses in summer, black trousers for work! I think it's very versatile

bringmesunshiiine · 20/11/2024 22:24

Yes, the how, when and where is definitely a consideration. Not sure it's what I should be buying as we sink into the depths of winter. I've a couple of nights out coming up, and found it while looking for outfits. I do like it, but it certainly won't serve me well in Glasgow over the next month.

I've also just realised it's not available in either size, so perhaps fate has intervened Grin

If you have to ask, the answer is probably "no". It is however rather nice- I like it.

WinterCrow · 20/11/2024 23:43

I really like it. But as you say, they haven't actually got any for sale.

And if you're me, then sell on Vinted for less than a tenth of what I originally paid 🫣

BobbyBiscuits · 20/11/2024 23:56

I think that's actually really cute. Though the pic doesn't make it look that 'bomber' like in shape. It's got a kind of 70s boho/20s vintage vibe which of not seen on a bomber. I'd say it would suit most sizes, maybe above an 18 the pattern might not be so flattering? Overall I'd say if you have a grungy, boho vibe going on then it would be a good addition for the autumn season.

It looks like the kind of thing an 80 year old would wear with velvet trousers, sorry.

TheGirlattheBack · 21/11/2024 01:31

Reminds me of Julia Robert’s jacket in Notting Hill. You’d have to see it and try it on to truly know whether it’s nice or not. I’d wear with black jeans and a white T-shirt.

LunaTheCat · 21/11/2024 05:28

I love it! Would be perfect with jeans and to throw on over casual summer dress… off to google next frantically …

SunnyHappyPeople · 21/11/2024 06:36

It's beautiful, I love it,

Stylish. Go for it.

snowlady4 · 21/11/2024 06:42

I really like it. Would like it more if it was £10 in a charity shop. Not sure I'd pay £68 for it as I don't know how many wears you would get from it. It doesn't look very warm! But obviously, budget is very personal!

I like it. And own a pair of velvet trousers lol channeling my future self it seems as I am only 40!

newbie202020 · 21/11/2024 07:09

I love it!

BigDahliaFan · 21/11/2024 07:17

I'd look like like a sprightly 80 year old in a Florida shopping mall in it....I'm not 80. If you've got the chutzpah to get away with it then crack on.

TakingTheHorseToFrance · 21/11/2024 07:21

I got a silky pattern bomber jacket and got so much wear out of it over the summer.

Brilliant!

Lentilweaver · 21/11/2024 08:36

Does look very Florida! Sorry, OP.

Well, I'm 78 and I wouldn't go near it 😆 . Ugly colour and pattern.

As an aside it looks awful on the model , like she's wearing a size too big!

TubularBeIIs · 21/11/2024 09:34

I think it looks great on the model and would be lovely for summertime. I think you would also get fed up of it quite quickly.
