Who cares? That's a lifestyle opinion piece.

Here's another one that says the opposite.

Will buying a leather jacket make it look like I’m having a midlife crisis?

Male anxiety about fashion rules means they associate fortysomethings in biker jackets with Jeremy Clarkson. Plus, what is Trump’s definition of ‘female members of staff dressing like women’?

And another one.

It's the Telegraph. It's supposed to make you wear tweeds and straw hats in the summer.

Wear what you like. I wouldn't take clothing advice from the British press, even if it was on the other side.

Melissa Twigg is a freelance travel, fashion and arts journalist, with a focus on Africa and Asia. She recently returned to London after years of geographical commitment phobia, moving between Paris, Cape Town and Hong Kong.

So this Miss Twigg is not really specialised on any specific topics right? She still writes for SCMP about 'high' fashions (Hermes, LV etc) in China and Asia, so you can pretty much gauge her taste of fashion is.

Now I have also looked at the article. I think there are leather jackets and leather jackets. The pictures shown in the article are definitely not favorable and even a 20 year old would not look better in it. Maybe the author of the article would have taken better pictures from this forum. There are umpteen examples that it can also look good.
The question is whether all the older lamb leather jacket buyers really just want to fight the midlife crisis and come across bad ass, or whether they simply like it.
And what pleases is allowed.

Some other lady wrote something completely the opposite in GQ. (Not that I agree the jacket fits like a glove on 'Luke Skywalker').

Ever since I've developed an active interest in clothes, I would see this article popping up almost verbatim on an annual basis. Every single year some loser attempts to establish how utterly unique their edgyness is by declaring leather jackets as a complete fashion faux pas, always to an opposte effect. Leather jacket are at this moment most in as they have ever been and the trend only seems to be gaining in popularity.

Absolutely. And you just wonder why even the vegans want their vegan leather jackets as well. They are in high demand as a fact......

Leather has been in style since early man first hit a cow with an axe and said "man i need to wear that thing's skin"

These articles are trash, don't read them, if you enjoy wearing leather do it.

Haha, but not everyone is paid to write their rubbish opinions on public media no matter how stupid it is.

 

[dudewuttheheck]

These news corps need to sell ads, so they write things that will get clicks. How good the writing is will quite often be irrelevant

'No man can wear a leather jacket after this age​

Exceptions to the cause are men with actual motorbikes and the truly tough' Well I don't have a motorbike...

Ha ha! The cut-off age is apparently 39.

 

[barnabus]

I do ride a motorcycle, so I can be as weedy as I like and still wear a leather jacket.

 

[ton312]

No way I’m paying one red cent to read some basic bitches opinion that’s built on a foundation of being stupid AF.
