Denim Jackets - Do you look like a hip mum or Suzi Quattro?

[MovingOutOfBlighty]

I am thinking of giving my fitted denim jacket to charity (circa 2000ish) but read today that denim jackets are the NEW THING!!!!

To chuck or not to chuck.

Thats one then!
What if i put little studs all over the back with Bon Jovi?

Not chuck

chuck

c 2000 I would say let someone else have the pleasure of finding it as a piece of treasure in a charity shop, and then allow them to be Suzi Quattro instead

I would have a look on Grazia or something to see what shape/style the 'new' denim jacket is before you chuck it.

I have one from the early 90's and I am now too old for it and I would look like a twat so I won't be doing that particular fashion.

I havent worn my denim jacket for about 3 years. it just looks so dated now.

But apparently if teamed with a wafty skirt I could look 'just like Agyness Deyn'

GOD NO
keep
style classic

not with denim though

No to double denim.I wear mine with linen trousers.

I'm achingly hip.

ROTFL

aaah, double denim

double stonewash denim the worst

I have a photo from the mid-80's of me in a stonewash denim skirt and matching jacket. The skirt was a pencil - knee-length one with two slits up the front.

What a fox I was

with my Sun-in hair

LOL Frosty. I had forgotten the joys of bleached denim. Perhaps blacked them out.
And you are right about the double denim thing.

Actually if you shortened the sleeves to 3/4 length it could look a bit more modern.

Sun in!!!!!!!! The cause of my hair trying to look like carole Decker for 2 years.

Ooooh, China in Your Hand. Sing along with me....

Keep. Obviously double denim is a crime on a par with eating children but with a cute skirt and a fitted top, or with a pretty but funky dress, a denim jacket can look really good imho.

I am swaying now towards keeping and teaming up with pretty but funky dress. Only thing is, have to find one of those.

What is wrong with Suzi Quatro exactly? I chuffing well heart her

No keep it and team it with a ditzy floral dress and tan blet/ boots
Very trendy right now
Have dug my old one out is fitted and ccropped

Keep.
Please don't put studs on it though.
If embellishment is needed may I suggest a quick visit to Accessorize? Brooches/chains or for more girly look a big silk flower?

LOL laurie. you sound like me - i wore mine early 80s with my farrah fawcet majors hairstyle, with flicks over one eye

chuck

when I was at uni all the engineers wore denim jackets with AC/DC in studs on the back

(when this referred to a band and not one's sex life)

A colleague looks great in hers - it's short, fitted, light denim and she wears it with the sleeves jauntily rolled up. She is 24, 6 feet tall and about a size 6, though
