Bomber Jacket

I really want one. There's a lot of students round there I work and they all wear them. It takes me back to my youth but I'm 44 😄 I generally think your age shouldn't determine what you wear but I'm going to look stupid aren't I?! Anyone seen any nice ones around? That won't look like I've dragged my 90s miss Selfridge jacket out the back of the wardrobe to keep up with the kids?

All wondrously grown up.

I had my eye on one from Baujken but it sold out, so I got one from Vinted originally from topshop for £9! I couldn’t find anything else that was reasonably budget friendly, Uniqlo had some in different colours, but I wanted green.

Alpha Industries for the authentic look. Well made, good size range and lots of colours.

Maybe the problem is that you're not old enough yet cos I found that, once I started seeing things coming around for the third time, I stopped worrying.

I quite like the one in the Uniqlo C range https://www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/products/E474936-000/00?colorDisplayCode=09&sizeDisplayCode=003.

I’ve got a silky khaki green one that I love, got it ages ago from Debenhams when it was still a shop on the high street.
I’m 40 and definitely not too old to wear it!

Im over 10 yrs older and a nice bomber jacket is on my wishlist.
It never occurred to me to worry about what anybody might think of me for wearing one!

I got one, then ordered another in another colour, on Amazon...I'm 58, no longer care what others think..😂

I honestly don't know why I'm worried about it, I usually couldn't care less. I think it's maybe because I lived in one through my teens!

Some great suggestions on here, got a couple in my basket already 😁

My 40 yr old friend was wearing a gorgeous vintage style silk bomber yesterday, she looked fab.

It was something along these lines..
