So i bought one of these jackets, I just randomly spotted it in the shop window, walked in and purchased it on a whim moment of madness without even trying it on.
They are silky style bomber jackets, heavily embroidered on their back.

I'm 52 years old.
opinions please?

I like it. It’s whimsical and can be worn with different outfits. I would wear it with jeans and my new animal print flats. (I’m 57!)

I like it!

TigerDroveAgain · 10/08/2025 21:49

It looks great: I’ve got 10+ years on you and I’d wear it! ignore your family

Daffodilsarefading · 10/08/2025 21:50

I like the front but not the back.

TheLongRider · 10/08/2025 21:50

Now that you've got it, wear it? It doesn't matter what others think - it'll work as a summer jacket with jeans or other casual trousers.

How it fits your body shape and personal style is more important than your age. I don't like the shiny fabric and think that the combination of colours plus embroidery might limit how often you can use it.

I’m aware it is sukajan jacket, I just never thought of buying one like that!?
I love embroidery etc so I guess it’s up my street..

Life is short, wear the jacket :-)

PInkyStarfish · 10/08/2025 21:55

It’s a bit early 2000’s for my liking.

If you like embroidery you might like this but it is sold out here but there are a few on eBay depending on what your size is

I do have other embroidered jackets like that you posted already, but thank you,
I think it’s the silky material with the beads what attracted me like magpie towards to
it..
I got the green one btw..

It's nice. I like it.

SouthernNights59 · 10/08/2025 22:18

It's fine - ignore your DH and teenager and wear it with joy.

Dogsrbrill · 10/08/2025 22:20

I love it, where's it from ?

LastKnownSurvivor · 10/08/2025 22:21

I love the colours - I'm early 50s too.

henlake7 · 10/08/2025 22:27

I like it. I'm a sucker for abit of embroidery too.
I'm not a big pastels fan though so not something I would go for.

MKDex · 10/08/2025 22:28

I would have zero idea how to style this

Same, but i would just wear my usual, jeans and converse..

whoboo · 10/08/2025 22:35

Bloody wear it. It's nice.

ooooohlala · 10/08/2025 22:45

The shininess makes it look quite cheap. I want to like them but don’t really. Sorry!

It's the standart material for this particular jacket. Satin or silky look.

TizerorFizz · 11/08/2025 00:56

Looks like horrible material? Polyester? It’s not a classy or fashionable jacket.

IamEarthymama · 11/08/2025 02:46

Oh I love it!
Wear it with joy, it will look amazing!
