Not too old for a denim jacket!

I’m a firm believer of wearing whatever you like but denim jackets are not for me ( do wear jeans) but then I didn’t like them when I was young either

For anyone interested, a poster mentioned Tillets on another thread. They have a denim jacket for £14 in their sale.

I am 74 and treated myself to an olive green pair of fine cotton dungarees with a huge rising sun on the front. All my granddaughters want it! Do I look ridiculous?

Don't know, care even less.

It is wonderfully comfortable in hot weather!

Sorry but it looks like a mouse has been at that jacket!! Ripped jeans are very 'in' currently but not really a good look if you're over 25.

If I wear anything denim I want it to be without holes or rips - I don't think at 72 I could get away with the distressed look. My daughters are 49 and 47 and, to be honest, I don't think they would either

I say wear whatever makes you feel good but it's not a style for me I feel the same about leather jackets I have worn both in the past but not a look I go for now

I bought a blazer style denim jacket with threequarter sleeves in Marks last year. Wore it and wore it. It goes beautifully with skirts and dresses.

Had second thoughts re denim jacket. They all seem to have breast pockets which don't go with over generous boobs... Back to the drawing board.

Demi jackets, bomber jackets and flying jackets.
I seem to remember GabbyG and I think Gillybob- went for the fur lined M&S one.

Never too old to spot spam either!

Cannot bear ripped jeans or other clothing, they look scruffy,

Hey, you're right about the denim jackets. My love for them just isn't fading. It's not just how trendy and versatile they are, but also the way they have something for every age group. If you're looking into jackets, you might want to check out this one I came across: an 80s jean jacket. It's a beautiful throwback to the vintage era. Look at it here jeans4you.shop/collections/womens-80s-jean-jackets. You might end up loving it as much as I do.

I haven’t got one but my niece bought some for her sisters and mum for her hen do. She painted them so it’s tricky for my DS to wear hers now with Mother of the Bride on her back!
I’ll try and find a photo but don’t hold your breath!

Found the brides jacket.
Rather reduces its wearability🤷🏼‍♀️

My denim jacket is around 30 years old and I still wear it.

When I think of all the lovely dresses, jackets etc etc I have got rid of over the years I could weep. I suppose I thought I would never fit in them in the distant future and amazingly I could now.
The last couple of hot summers I longed for a flared midi length tie waisted Greek blue cotton dress I wore well in Greece. If I hadnt also ditched my denim jacket some years back I could have worn it as well!!
I think carefully before I take things to the charity shop now.

I bought my first ever denim jacket last week. £5 in my favourite charity shop, m and s light blue fits perfectly
and looks nice with everything.
Wore it to my dd, she and my gd both said it looks good.
I am 75 short snd a bit wide of girth but love it.
Never too old.

Sorry Marydoll, I just got excited when I spotted the thread in active.

No apologies needed! I just get annoyed at spammers. You never know if the link is dodgy or not.
In fact, I bought a blue and a black denim jacket from White Stuff in the summer. I love them. You are never too old! 😁

How inspirational
Fancied a denim jacket but like so many didn’t want to be described as mutton dressed as lamb
Am definitely going to take a serious look
Thanks all

Go for it gwyllt

I have a pink one and a light denim one . I wear them all the time in summer . The up to date ones are much more comfortable than the original ones because the denim is stretchy now . So definitely go for it !
