So is the Boden rainyday mac naff now that it is in the sale?!

[Caz10]

Or was it naff already?
Or is it OK?
I have just received the pink one - I like it but am feeling that I shouldn't!

[HarlotOTara]

If you like it why worry? One person's naff is another person's stylish

[brokenspacebar]

patterned or plain print? I think on a rainy day it will look fine, I don't think it is high fashion but who cares?... if it is practical, comfortable, keeps you dry and you feel good wearing it on a bogging wet day?

[Caz10]

patterned...very patterned!
def not high fashion - maybe too mumsy?! But it was half price and I can't resist a bargain!

[brokenspacebar]

Nah, not mumsy, that is a state of mind.

[Caz10]

too true, ok i will flounce about in my flowery mac and be proud!

[Diege]

Mine's just arrived - same one CAZ . I have hung it up on coat rack but have kept packaging...really not sure. Don't think it's mumsy as such, but not sure it's 'me' either. Are you def keeping your's?

[Caz10]

Yes, I ripped the tissue paper off the buttons in a final act of committment yesterday!
Did you get the pink/brown one? I actually really like it!
Now let's hope you don't live next door to me!

[Diege]

Well, I've actually decided to return mine after all - more to do with the fit (arms too long) than anything else though - looked a bit like I was dressing up in my gran's housecoat ). Had ripped off paper on buttons though as figured I couldn't try it on properly without doing buttons up - hope I'm right there!
It is a lovely coat though, (I would have kept if fitted) and I'm sure you will be safe from clones...having said that I'm in a very 'Bodeny' area and have on occasion bumped into other Boden-ites wearing same coat (winter rainy day mac); we've just joked about it and the awkwardness of the moment passed . Other than the coat am very pleased with my sale bits - am sitting with towelling beach dress over my PJs as I type and Ibizian tunic looks fab on...

I ordered the bright green one. It looked great from the back but once you factored my face it was all a bit too much

Shame because I loved it and it is not naff at all.

[Caz10]

It was only pink left in my size by the time I got to it...

It fits well but i am now worried about the effect of my face...
