What jackets are we wearing with barrel legged jeans?

Surprised myself to have bought some barrel jeans today and how much they suit me. I’m good for tops but wondering what jackets you wear with yours?

I can’t bring myself to do double denim.

Bonus points for links to said jackets!

(If you don’t like barrel jeans, perhaps this isn’t the post for you.)

Found some nice quilted cotton jackets on eBay from Zara and Monsoon. Resisting buying all three…

This is the only thing I haven’t bought lately. Bought my mum one for her birthday last year I think from Fat Face.

I wear hi top Converse with mine!

Ah now I do like HiTop Converse . I have narrow feet and they are comfortable but the regular or the ballet ones are not , I need the ankle covering .

I have this jacket in two colours

Thanks to this thread and eBay I have bought and am loving:
Bird print oriental style quilted boxy Monsoon jacket (£20)
Muted floral boxy Zara quilted jacket in blues and greys (£13)
Oasis printed satin bomber, black and floral (£10).

Definitely going to get a lot of wear out of them all :)

I like the Whistles one from @OvertiredandConfused but it’s the same shape as my black denim jacket so will resist!

I didn’t think barrel legs were for me, but I tried and bought some from mint velvet and then bought a non denim pair from Uniqlo. I am short in the leg and longer torso. Both mid rise so the proportion worked well. I love them now! In fact they’re both a bit winter-y, so might need a new pair…

Which Uniqlo ones did you get? 🙂

Oooh well done on your buys! I love the Whistles jacket but waiting to see if it goes on sale.

I think these could be them:-

I mean I don’t need them but I could wear them a bit.

I wore a short vintage army camo jacket and gold heeled boots with mine at the weekend.
