I tried this on in Mint Velvet today:

www.mintvelvet.co.uk/blush-zip-collar-coat/coats-gilets/mint-v/fcp-product/6405

I just can't decide about it. I've been looking for something like this which is warmish but light. I've got a down coat for when it's very cold. I want to avoid biker style which is everywhere at the moment. This fastens down the middle which I like.

What do you think?

I really like it but omg not enough to pay that price.

I'm not keen.
It's pretty nondescript and for 'blush pink' it reads rather grey to me.

Sorry but I think you can do better for the price too.

I don't like it but I don't really get mint velvet at all.

mapless not necessarily, I just don't want biker style!

Glad I posted for opinions, I wasn't 100% sure and it is expensive.

I'm not an 8 unfortunately and in any case I want it to be jacket length rather than coat length.

Maybe a pea coat.....?

I'm not a fan of Mint Velvet but I quite like this, not in black though. And it's expensive for wool/polyester mix.

I quite like it but have you checked out the Jaegar discount website? Someone posted about it on here about 10 days ago. I was really surprised at the prices and really wished I could justify another coat.

I saw that mint velvet one irl and thought it was lovely. Way too pale for mw though so had to leave it. Wish MV would improve their colours

I think it's a bit boring for the price. If I were going to spend that much money I'd want it to be wow.
