To think that Desigual clothes are unbelievably ugly?

[teaandthorazine]

There's a banner ad on my screen for Desigual clothes - those weird squiggly designs make my head hurt. Their coats always look like the sartorial version of weeping clowns painted on black velvet.

Who in the name of sweet baby Jesus actually wears this stuff?

Gah

I live in Spain. The Desigual demographic is definitely not young

I would say they are aimed at 35-55 year old middle class women

Saying that, you rarely see people wearing them, probably because they are ugly. You do see the odd Desigual coat and handbag here and there

Stinkle, it's less unpleasant than most of them

But...£114 for 100% polyester?

Just to add that Desigual is basically a high street rip off of the more expensive and tasteful Custo

HOW MUCH?!?!?!

And it's not like it's a good basic that you can wear loads. Sorry but it's a big, 'No,' from me.

YANBU.

Awful stuff.

but...but...but...I like the pattern. I think

I like it, each to their own.

I hope you work for the marketing department at Desigual and have done this to make everyone click on the banner and get their click rate up because it's totally worked lol

I'm suggesting this to my digital clients. ;)

It's now bloody waving at me from an ad on the side.

Some Desigual clothing is mainly black with a bit of colour. I
love Desigual.

Stinkle - I wouldn't wear that dress, but I can see why you like it. However, I would never pay £100+ for 100% polyester.

It's only the inner (which I'm assuming means the lining) which is 100% polyester

the outer is 98% cotton or something (I can't remember and I've just got rid of it waving at me so I'm not clicking on the link again)

But yes, £100+...maybe if it goes in the sale

I'm wearing a Desigual jumper as we speak...and I love it. Each to their own you know. I love the bright colours and shapes. That's not to say they're all lovely, just a bit like going into Next and liking one dress and not another.

And Desigual is spanish I believe for 'different'...which they are

The black and white stuff is quite nice.

The clothes are some of the nastiest available to buy.

The patterns just seem to be trying to hard to be 'out there', 'unusual' and 'cool' and failing miserably on all levels.

But they're not different Butternut.

They're so bloody identifiable that it's immediately obvious from 500 ft what brand it is. That's not stylish.

I've got a Desigual jacket, kind of blazer style. I usually wear it with jeans and a plain tshirt. I absolutely love it, but it does seem quite different to any of the other stuff I've seen, as its the only thing from there that I've ever liked

I have one of their dresses and it is nice and gets compliments. It is grey all over apart from the front which has pink and orange on - sounds bonkers but it's actually lovely.

I know what people mean though about it almost being great but somehow missing the mark.

I like Desigual, it is colourful and cheery. Dh says my coat is the ugliest thing he has ever seen! Luckily I don't dress to please anyone but myself .

I sort of like them but could never get away with wearing them.

And my local Garden Company Centre sells the stuff

Awful. Stuff.

I have a t shirt. I love it

I've got a desigual dress on at the moment. I love it! I have loads of it - bags, 2 coats, jumper, lots of tops, 5 dresses and a couple of skirts. I gave lots of boden too. And next.

My husband really likes it too. I am a bit brash though I suppose. I also have proper bright red hair so clash wonderfully!
