Denim jacket - yes or no?

[traceybath]

Was thinking something like this to wear with vests and summer skirts:

but will i look like i'm trying to be 18 again (am currently 35).
And am new here and love it - have in the past week bought the chanel foundation recommended which i love and had a brazilian wax!

I think the cut has to be more modern than your typical boxy demin jacket. A dart or 2 at the waist would bring it more up to date.

Though the more I look at the Topshop jacket, the more I like it.

What about leather? Do you have to be under 22 for leather jackets or coats?

I bought a cracking jacket in Esprit. They have nice blazers in there. Do you not rate the quality of top Shop?

The Topshop one is lovely.
Topshop used to be quite shit quality, its better now. Its still not amazing, but the stuff is definitely a lot better made.

nfk - no. Leather is acceptable. However, it has to be very fitted, a nice cut and proper leather. Imitation is horrific for over 22's. Young ones can get away with fake leather.

Phew!

Like the topshop one

Ooh I like that Topshop blazer jacket; not keen on Topshop generally though (especially now dd1 shops there!). My blazer is from St Martins and I love it but I also have a fitted, short-cut (so not so boxy) denim jacket from Principles and I wear it a lot in Spring and Autumn, especially with cute little coloured skirts.

Yes, Denim jacket is classic.

Rubbish to 22 age limit. Paff.

look here

Say no more.

I know it's tres fashionable at the moment but faded/bleached denim is horrible unless you work on the waltzers at the fair or you are one of Bros and you have a time machine and you can use it to go back to 1989 and then wear it.

It's just not flattering. Dark denim jackets look much better, even if it;s not cutting edge.

Cutting schmedge Go with what flatters.
