Hi all just bought the above on an impulse buy but have no idea what to wear it with any advice?

Out of context, but following another subject, I found this documentary about Mods and Rockers in the '60s, which goes into the fashions of those days:

About halfway through, biker's jackets.

I'm not sure it'll go with that many things. I had a lovely light blue parka once - top make but went with absolutely nothing. Didnt meld well with black skirts etc and any colour was unthinkable. Gave it away in the end...

Wot, get out that cream jacket and wear it! I'm sure it will look great - have a look at some of the suggestions given on here for the first poster, and go for it. ?

In summer /spring would go well with a light-colored midi skirt, summery maxi dress. In autumn mix with navy and light brown/gray trousers or skirts.

Oh dear peaseblossom
I have an infinity scarf in a monochrome scull design that I wear with my real biker jacket when on our Triumph Bonnieville smile

Peaseblossom Sat 08-Jul-17 18:29:01

Skull print scarf? ? Aaaaargh! No. I hate anything with skulls on and what a ridiculous fashion Only acceptable in the young and sheep like followers of fashion.

I bought a plastic cream one reduced from £40 to £15!! I have a black one that looks fine, but I haven't dared wear this cream one in case I look stupid.

I saw a jacket very similar to this in a shop window today. It's a gorgeous colour and I wish I had the figure to wear it.

glammanana Sat 08-Jul-17 14:39:31

I want a cream one that is the next purchase on my list,just waiting for the sales in Liverpool.

I'm jealous! XXXX

"ICE" not "nice" !!!! They're beyond nice ....

Teddy123 Sat 08-Jul-17 12:05:52

I have several .... Now want a nice blue one too. The most versatile items in my wardrobe. "Rock it" !!!

glammanana Sat 08-Jul-17 11:51:15

Jochilling Thats the secret in not looking as though you are trying too hard,I wear my black biker jacket for all occasions it it the most worn piece in my wardrobe,I have a red one but not as many zips and buttons.Lots of different scarfs dress up or down your jacket sounds fab so get out there and enjoy it,I saw a model wearing one in one of the magazines and she must have been about 75ish she is that lovely model with the fabulous long grey hair she looked stunning

I love pastel colours and if it were me I'd team it with either grey trousers or (one of my favourites) beige.

Jochilling Sat 08-Jul-17 11:36:53

Love all the suggestions will definitely be trying some and hopefully not look like I'm trying to hard

Nanna58 Sat 08-Jul-17 10:54:10

Totally disagree with Ana, it sounds beautiful! I would go with a floaty floral dress, preferably with some of the jacket colour in it. You go girl lol !

Lewlew Sat 08-Jul-17 10:48:25

Biker jackets seem to be in fashion... I saw a white one in the window of a bridal shop with a full-length sheath-style gown!

Blinko Sat 08-Jul-17 10:47:17

Sounds fab! Wish I could wear something like it, but am rather curvy (even when slim) so ....best of luck smile

Mapleleaf Sat 08-Jul-17 10:39:53

Sounds lovely. Lots of good suggestions given already. I'd add maybe team with a shift dress -I've got one that is navy and white stripes that I wear in the cooler months. ?

Tessa101 Sat 08-Jul-17 10:10:03

That sounds lovely I'm ?. OP have given great advise I like idea of floaty maxi dress or white jeans.
