Would you buy this for you daughter?

Simple black jacket. Yes or no?

? Yeah

Yes why on Earth not?

If she wanted yes.

Yes. Is it JL? My Dd had one like that for school for years.

I apparently can’t let my daughter wear this as it’s a boy style🤷🏻‍♀️.

Would it make a difference if her brother had the same one?

School age? No, and not for a boy either. I think jackets should have some brighter colours so they can be visible to cars in the dark evenings.

If she wanted it? What are you getting at?

How old is your daughter?

I don’t think it’s to my DD’s taste but there’s nothing wrong with the jacket.

Daughter is 10 nearly 11.

Is your DD says she does not want to wear it? If she does not want to wear it then no. I believe it is very important to teach girls that they have control over their own bodies.

My DD is only two so I buy bright coloured coats but often from the boys section.

Wasn't there a big hoo-hah recently about "boys' clothes" and "girls' clothes"? Shops are selling pink clothes for girls, and blue clothes for boys. Quelle horreur! But a black jacket is fine if your daughter likes it.

I'd buy it if she wanted it. My DD wouldnt like it though and I wouldn't force her to wear it as I was bullied in school for having to wear some of the stuff my mum picked for me.
There's nothing wrong without though.

Does your daughter want to wear it?

That's the only thing that matters.

My daughter would wear that through choice.

If she liked it then yes. It is a bit shapless and unisex tho......also looks very short. I always opt for something that offers a bit of bum coverage for this time of year. Perk of being female is we seem to have more options of longer styles for some reason.

She hasn’t said if she wants it or not. I’ve bought 2 sizes for my son to try on and was thinking about giving the other one to my daughter but I’ve been informed by a family member that she can’t wear it as it’s a boys jacket.

If she doesn’t like it I will exchange it. Not going to force her to wear it.

Just ask her bit if it's a boys jaclet and she's not into styles like that then I wpuld expect she probably won't especially if her brother is going to be wearing the same one and possibly other boys I the school.

Oooooohhhhh, matching with your brother is a no no at that age. I can see the temptation tho.

It's a coat. If she likes it, then all well and good.
I would suggest your family member needs to consider that it's 2018, and not 1955.

Why is it a boy's style? Because it doesn't have unicorns, rainbows and frills on or a figure-enhancing cut?

If she likes it, it's absolutely fine. My DD has a very similar coat.

Family member is being a muppet. Offer it to your DD, see what she wants - she'll probably say no, kids are picky!

My 10 year old DD would probably wear it but I imagine she would not want to wear the same coat as her older brother.

That’s exactly it, it’s not a fitted style so she can’t wear it.

If my daughter is willing to wear it then she can. I think it will be matching her brother rather than the style that makes her say no.

If she's ok with it why not?
So called "girls" jackets are often too short and too fitted imo

FWIW, my daughter chooses clothing from boys and girls ranges.

If she is younger I suppose she might find it confusing to have something fastening in the opposite direction.
