I like it, saw them in the shop last week

I think you could def get away with that.

In some sleb nonsense mag I saw recently they do a feature on what you should be wearing that is 'fashionable now' and suitable for yer age. Blazers featured for the... uh... over 25's

bit miami vice for my liking

I like it. reminds me of the days when everything was rolled up - jackets, jeans, fags...

southeastastra · 16/12/2008 18:23

Very 80s, if that's the look you're going for.

I like it ,am getting one like it for teenage dd's xmas ,but anyone could carry it off I reckon....except me.
Better if you aren't large of nork.

Yes I think you can wear it and look cool. just not on the school run, it looks too much like a boys school blazer even with the sleeves rolled up !

newgirl · 16/12/2008 19:30

with skinny jeans and nice top in the evening yes

with flared jeans and jumper in day not i think - its def an evening look isnt it?

travellingwilbury · 16/12/2008 19:37

I think its too 80's which is ok if you weren't around the first time

But if you were then a no no for me

DisenchantedPlusBump · 16/12/2008 19:40

Its a bit 80's,

I don't like it.

I laugh at photos of my mum in the 80's, Im not gonna try and dress like that!

southeastastra · 16/12/2008 19:49

ooh i was around the first time and had a man's tux jacket that i used to love. that's why it appealed.

maybe i should try it on first, undecided now
