Not too old for a denim jacket!

I’m 73 ….and size 14 ….and just bought one .

I have a lovely one which is printed with a pattern and has appliqué and embroidery accenting the printed design. I bought it in US along with several other jackets. Several of them look good with Jeans. They do have good jackets over there.

Love mine. They look great with long summer dresses. Still have one my sister gave me in the 80's.

I'm 60 this year and love my denim jackets. I have to say I'd never even considered I could be too old for one. That's definitely food for thought.

As for double denim, I guess it all depends on how important being 'in fashion' is to a person. Surely if it looks good and you're OK then that's fine?

I can’t imagine what else I would wear over a summer dress. Never been a cardigan person. I’m 78. What has age got to do with it?

Have them both!!

I am debating to get a longline denim jacket from The White Stuff. I rather like the pink or maybe cream.

So sorry, I just refreshed the page and I see women are talking about denim jackets.

Here’s what I know about denim (jeans, jackets) - it is not a warm fabric. Jeans (and jackets) will not keep you warm in winter. If the object of your jacket is to cover up arms or add as an accessory to your outfit, it’s okay. The look is just okay.

Personally, all the cute jackets I tried to incorporate in my wardrobe just left me feeling out of sync. In the Goodwill bag.

I am 71 and have a fleece lived one from Primark , cream one and another in France . So am sure nobody cares if I wear it or not and they were all cheap and wash well ! 🙂

I don't see how a jacket can be "too young" young, really.
It's just an outer layer.

This is a 3.5 yr old thread with no recent post added on. Is this a mistake? Or does someone want to continue this conversation… already 8 pgs long?

I'm coming up 70 years of age and I absolutely love my denim jacket. Don't care what anyone thinks of "my look" - it's great with summer dresses and I feel good wearing it.

I quite fancy one myself now!

I quite fancy one! ?

So do I!! Flirted with one last year but at 71 I chickened out!! Think over summer dresses a light blue would be good!

69 years old and I've got a blue M & S denim jacket. There is no 'too old' for clothes like that!

I think the Edinburgh ladies who lunch should all wear a denim jacket on their next meet.

That would make a lovely photo.

I love mine ! Brilliant over Spring/ Summer dresses . I am 70 and no way would I stop wearing them. Don't wear them with jeans however, a tad OTT I feel.

I have 2 , a blue denim and a faded black denim . I wear them loads in the warmer weather either with a dress or a midi skirt . It’s less frumpy than a cardigan.
I also have 2 leather biker jackets black and navy blue . Which I also wear with dresses or jeans . The secret is to get a size larger than your normal size .
I also wear dms with dresses and skirts .

Why not Ladybella ?

Yes - I have three ! 74 years old next month. I don't wear them all the time but they do get worn out and about.

I have two. One I cut the sleeves off of and the other I'm going to embellish. (I'm 72)

I love my denim jackets. I have a shorter one and a hip length one. Both blue.
I'm in my 70th year and don't intend to give them up yet.

Hi There
I’m late 50’s and although I don’t have a Jean jacket as such I do have various colours of the Roman Originals Stretch Pocket Detail Jacket £38.00 .I love bright Colours 😁💜💚🩷

Haven't got hold of one yet, (thanks Marydoll & others for the stretchy tip by the way) but when I do shall we have
The Great Gransnett Denim Day to welcome in the fine weather?
