Are you a jacket person?

I wore tailored jackets for work, but hardly ever now. I have a couple in the wardrobe if required. Just recently I needed a light jacket to go over a short sleeved dress ( nobody needs to see my upper arms!) and pulled out a soft light loose jacket, almost like a blouse, which I have had for years. It was admired by several people! Worth keeping.

Definitely in the Diana era - I had black, navy, purple and pink!
Now I have Barbour quilted jackets if I need an extra layer.

I was thinking more of blazer type jackets than out door jackets.

I bought a pink linen one for the summer in the hope that I would transform into an elegant female. It still has the tags on. I did think I might wear it to a recent funeral. I didn't. I find them quite restricting.

I have to admit - elegance isn't me!

Just bought a midi 'shacket' for emergency city/wedding/funeral outings. I hate wearing coats and jackets generally. I have a nice denim one hanging on the coatrack in the hall - it's been there, unworn, for a few years now.

Sorry I am one of the denim jacket brigade and I love mine. I hate “big” coats and feel frumpy. Being little and fat doesn’t help!

Vogue is full of Autumnal jackets, so I don’t think they’re going out of fashion. The navel blazer with gold buttons, perhaps.

Baubles that sounds lovely. And, having met you, I know you will look great. Sadly I'm short and round. Weeble shaped. I don't look good in tailored clothes

Hah! I’m going out for lunch wearing navy wide leg trousers, bluebell fitted tshirt, white trainers and a softly tailored pale blush pink long line blazer .

They’re out of fashion now. Three years ago I would wear a navy tailored jacket with a crisp white shirt, jeans and trainers. You hardly ever see anyone dressed like that now.

I’ll hang on to my jackets though just in case they come back in again, 😂

Long fleece for cooler days and a warm parka type coat for when it’s baltic. I’ve got a lovely, smart jacket in pink from my working days, it really must go, I haven’t worn it for about ten years, it’s the only formal item I have.

Not really a jacket person here - if the weather's reasonable, I'd go without, then when it gets a bit cooler (or wetter), I'd put on a coat. Curious as to what a 'light indoor jacket' is, though?

I like my denim jacket but have noticed how many of us ‘ladies of a certain age’ are wearing them. Ditto white trainers! I expect the younger demographic will ditch them both soon as ‘uncool’.

I used to love my smart Navy overlapping Blazer (remember them?) with goldy buttons. Everyone liked it on me - they made my jeans look smart .

I had a black one, long gone to the charity shop. It was fine wool with gold buttons.

Occasionally they are useful as I think they 'pull an outfit together'.
I wore one to a funeral recently with softish trousers and a plain top, but it was a semi-casual jacket, not a buttoned up one.

I have gone almost 100% with knitwear and trousers, with a hooded parka or fancy gillet for inclement days.
Knitwear is so easy to fit; it is warm too.
I have also gone all out for the lightly padded kimono style jackets from the East.
Big shirts for summer,
Feel very overdressed these days in tailored smart coats.

When I worked I always wore a jacket, I felt it gave the right professional signals, although the jackets were not stuffy dark colours . I also had a large collection of brooches to wear on the lapels.
I like a casual jacket as well, I have several leather, quilted and linen jackets.

I used to have one as well, I think it was in the 80's, the Diana era but we did look smart.

I have noticed since the Covid lockdown that more and more people are going out casually dressed in hoodies or body warmers (gilets). I always used to go out in a smart jacket and trousers but now I feel out of place and too dressed up. If I am going to an indoor shopping centre I will just wear a blouse/jumper and trousers as I park the car not too far from the entrance. Luckily I do not feel the cold very much and hate to be bundled up inside stores.

I think the era of smart jackets and lovely coats has gone unless I was going to a wedding etc. I would then get dressed up.

I don’t like jackets or coats, preferring cardigans and body warmers. I hate the feel of long sleeves around my wrists and always push up shirts, cardigans etc.
I don’t feel the cold, I don’t like to be bundled up, especially when driving and only wear a warm coat to football in the winter, often taking it off!

I used to have a school job where jackets were required to be worn in assembly. We used to keep a selection of previously loved goes with everything jackets in the department, so us non-jacket wearers could conform to the rules.

I no longer wear tailored jackets, but like denim ones, and something fleecy to keep me warm in winter.

I’m not keen on the look of ‘tailored’ jackets / blazers - I always feel too dressed up / slightly uncomfortable. But I have a very soft denim jacket that I wear a lot and find really useful. I also like more unstructured linen jackets (“Made in Italy” type)

I am a diamond- quilted light indoor jacket person who wants an upper garment that slides on and off easily over shirts and jumpers when required and is easy to wash and dry.

I loathe wearing jackets and coats and only do so under pressure. I also never wear tights or shirts with long sleeves/buttons.
