AM I TOO OLD FOR.....?

Shanus — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 12:55:24 GMT

I have a quite expensive real leather biker type jacket in black (of course). I put it away about 5 yrs. ago thinking I was too old to pull it off. Now I'm thinking, "what the heck" and it never gets "winter enough" for my puffer coats.

Anyone in their 70's still wear a black leather "Sandy in GREASE" jacket?

I say go for it. Based on your posts you're not an "old lady." You are very young at heart.

Take it out and dust it off. You are definitely not too old. Enjoy

No! You! Are! Not! Too! Old!!

Since it has been five years, wear it a couple times and if you feel uncomfortable in it pass it along. I think you'll look great!

If you want to wear it then go for it! You are definitely not too old for it if you want to wear it, I would not hesitate! It will look great with your smile!

You mean like this?

This is my "newest." I have brown, tan, fringe ... you name it ... can't wait for the cooler weather.

I don't think anyone looks at me and thinks "she's too old to be wearing that." And if they do ... well, I don't care!

You are never too old to wear what you like and what you feel like wearing. Especially if you style it a certain way.

I buy and wear the same kind of things I wore 30 years ago, and I don't think they're inappropriate. Others might not agree, but who are they to dictate what I wear? Life's too short.

Remember the adage, "forget your age and live your life". I think we all think about our age too much, and we impose limitations on ourselves that we never should impose.

Well, IF you are a biker chic then I guess you have a biker jacket lol.

Leather biker/moto jackets are classics, they never go out of style and have no age attached to them. Anyone of any age can wear them anywhere and anytime...timeless pieces to have in a closet forever.

@Shanus If it were me, I would put an outfit together based on wearing the jacket.

Give the look a test run. I know when I wear something that looks good or bad I get a feeling if it is me or not.

If anyone is rude enough to question your fashion choice, just tell them to mind their business and enjoy your jacket ! 🏍️🏍️🏍️

I am in my late 60's and on a whim bought a moto jacket just last month. Not leather, it's denim. Honestly, I feel silly now, and that, yes, sometimes I think that I am too old for it. But I will wear it as soon as the weather gets cool enough. I plan to fake it until I make it. I'm going to practice what I preach. I say wear it proudly! You're going to look fabulous!

@Shanus GO FOR IT !!! Who cares what everyone else does or doesn't wear? I will be 80 in a few months and I wear whatever I want as long as it's tasteful and not raunchy. You go girl. 👍❤️

I'm 70 and just bought the new Renee moto jacket in black. It's not a biker jacket but I like the style. Why not wear it if it fits well?

Wearing certain clothing pieces isn't about age - it's about if it works for your features. For instance, black feels really off on people with soft or those with 'smiley' features and angles in clothes work well for those with angled features, not for the soft or 'smiley' ones.
