I think it could be very versatile.&nbsp;I personally see bomber jackets (and moto jackets) as being classic and ageless. I am 59 and wear them all the time.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bomber-jacket-40#post-1749093 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 11:31:14 +0000 krishnidoux 1749093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A bomber is a great way to add tons of style to any outfit, especially more conventional ones. A great tool for women after 40 who, I think, benefit from an atypical element, but are not necessarily interested in plunging décolletés and leg exposure. Pair it with booties, a pencil skirt, a cute, quality tee and voilà. I am almost 50, and like to wear bombers - they complement high waist jeans and office straight slacks. I find they pair well with flat footwear such as flat pointy booties and ballerinas.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bomber-jacket-40#post-1749090 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 11:16:40 +0000 chadya 1749090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't care for them on me,&nbsp; but wear it, no age police are coming for you&nbsp; ☺ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bomber-jacket-40#post-1749023 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 04:58:00 +0000 Anonymous 1749023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>70 here and I love bomber jackets.

I'm having a hard time thinking of how it could look too young for anyone. I especially like the burgundy one--what a gorgeous color, and an unusual take on the trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bomber-jacket-40#post-1748360 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 17:11:50 +0000 shaz 1748360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks fab on you Diane thank you both for replying </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bomber-jacket-40#post-1748356 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 17:01:46 +0000 Anonymous 1748356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I'm 52 and here's my pink silk floral one that I made for myself earlier this year. Choose a darker shade bomber, wear over a modern sweater, add dark was jeans and booties and you're set. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bomber-jacket-40#post-1748355 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 17:01:35 +0000 rachylou 1748355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the time I think it's footwear where you need to show your dignity... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bomber-jacket-40#post-1748351 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 16:49:49 +0000 shaz 1748351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi just wondering has anyone worn a bomber jacket over 40 ? Got one in the sale but not sure if it's to young a look or not it's only to replace my day to day one that fell apart until I find something better but don't want to look like I'm trying to dress like a teen. Any input welcome. Also how did you style it? </p>
