Wow interesting....not my cuppa but each to there own. Would take confidence to wear. Feedback is positive so wouldn`t worry to much about ordering through paypal.

Think its too much?I like different clothes anyway..thought it could be used for more dressy outfits too as well as going out stuff

I think if your as hot as the girl in the pic its fine and maybe guys will think its hot but if not it`ll look silly. Its very sexy I thought it was an s and m thing first (my friend used to be into that scene) and I`m not a very sexy kind of girl so my opinion is going to be different - hold on I have an idea I`ll ask my hubby.....ok he said its weird that if it was like those little open cardigans around my arms (he means shrugs/bolero`s with no buttons) it would be nice but it looks like some of its missing (*lol he made a weird trying to work out what it was face for 5 minutes*). Well at least its a conversation starter.

I vote ask your mates or hope someone else responds.Just cause it`s not my thing doesn`t mean your not going to rock it. If I know something is going to suit I don`t listen to anyone and my friends regularly have to eat their words when something they said no to ends out looking great on. So basically up to you.

Your thread title is "what do you think of this leather bolero?"

Im neutral enough in how i dress but,my general rule is if it looks "dodgy" on the model then it'll look 10 ten times worse on the average person.

It doesnt look good on that model.So i dont like it at all sorry....and would take a very confident person to carry it off. Borderline S and M too if thats what you're into

IMO I think it looks horrible. It doesn't even go with the outfit that the girl is wearing, it's just thrown on her!

Are you looking for a bolero for a special occasion?

I will have an answer on this for you, hopefully tomorrow evening. :pac:

I think it could look cool with a very very specific outfit as long as you're very thin. If not, avoid!

Hi OP,

It's not a bad looking bolero but it is perhaps just a little too sexy. For me a leather bolero simply by being leather is sexy enough so it doesn't need to try any harder than that.

A few years back I bought my good lady a bolero from an eBay seller called Crazy Outfits. I've recommended them many times on this forum. The only bad thing about them is their choice of business name! Anywhoo below are two types of bolero that they do. Unfortunately their images are a little over the top so I took a few of my own to try and better show that I think their bolero is nicer. It has simpler lines and is I feel quite an elegant design.

I've found in a lot of cases that the leather clothing available through the .ie or .co.uk sites simply aren't stylish and seem to cater for a 'cheap' end of the market. If you want clothes which are sexy and elegant you really need to broaden your search a little bit. Try having a look through the eBay Germany or Italian sites. I don't speak the languages myself but a little bit of detective work will lead you to the sections and search terms that you need.
