Pretty or granny?

This isn't quite as bubblegum pink as it looks but do the stars and sequins and pearls on the neck make it a bit "granny trying to be fun"?
As an aside, why do even expensive ranges (this isn't) only put the decorations on the front? It can make things look cheap.

It would be 100% granny on me, as I'm 41.

If 16yo DD wore it, it would probably look very cool.

Totally depends on how it is styled

With rolled up jeans , roll up the sleeves a bit , big hop earrings and cool hi tops then could be funky

With black bootcut trousers and boots could be very frumpy

Looks like something Mary Berry would wear.

I’m 65 and I wouldn’t wear that
More suited to mid 80 year olds.....

I'm 31 and think it would look good on me however, I don't like stars. Love the colour though!

Granny on me, unless I styled it very carefully and its not nice enough for me to bother doing that, I'm 39.

My 70 year old nan would love it. She also adores all this embroidery stuff which is why I don't wear it(!)

Is this blue cardie also "granny" as well then? Now I'm doubting myself
I love the colour and it's a cardie to so more flexible than a jumper?

Step away from the cardi.
The jumper is marginally better, and its hideous.

The shape is nice , I have a few from Oasis in that style that I wear with dresses or skinnies. The beading around the neck is a bit Mary Berry though.

Maybe I should just embrace my inner granny.

depends on your size. If you have big boobs it would look matronly.

both would be nice with leather leggings though.

The pink one is little girl, the cardigan granny

The jumper is not granny if it’s worn by a young thing coolly. It would look matronly on giant titted old me!

The pink top could go either way but the blue one is granny through and through.

What style do you like?
There is so much beautiful knit wear at the moment it won't be too hard to find something that speaks to you.

I love it Blush but would wear as someone upthread advised (rolled up skinnies, hi tops etc)
