Apparently 'it's an lady coat and doesn't suit you'
' I had to say something because it's not doing you any favours'

Why am I upset? It's just a coat, but I've taken it personally. I feel he's insulted me

Probably because I thought it looked nice on and I thought I lioked good in it and I've worn it a lot in recent weeks.
Now I find out it looks horrible on me and makes .me look old?
Wtf?

I'm prepared to be told I'm being ridiculous.

Can you at least tell us where it is from?

No - what you've found out is that your husband is probably clueless about fashion, or at least has different fashion taste to you. Take no notice, OP. and show us the coat

Can you link to the coat online if you don't want to upload an image? I feel its very crucial and vital information, we MUST SEE THE COAT

Is it from Edinburgh woolen mill?

Autumnblooms · 03/12/2020 17:52

It depends if his right or not, he may be saying it to you out of kindness as it looks bad, then again he could be totally wrong. We need to see the coat really

malificent7 · 03/12/2020 17:54

Men dont get fashion...ignore.

LOL

Who cares if he likes it or not, he isn’t the one wearing it.

My winter coat is a hi-viz helly hansen, my partner hates it and thinks I look like a bin man or a street sweeper. I like it, so I wear it.

zafferana · 03/12/2020 17:57

Ds said I looked like a lovely sheep!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kids eh? You can always trust them to make you feel good!

PurpleDaisies · 03/12/2020 17:57

Does it matter? Not everyone likes everything.

Maybe you need more confidence in your own style rather than being so upset someone else doesn’t like your coat.

Well, you can’t come on here and say your dh doesn’t like your coat and then not post a picture,

WhereverIGoddamnLike · 03/12/2020 17:59

likeamillpond · 03/12/2020 18:00

If it’s the one linked that is very much an old lady coat. Sorry OP!

Sorry, xpost with @purple!

I was once given a coat I loved in a bag of hand me downs from a friend. I put it on and my husband said it reminded him of a pirate (it was sort of knee length and flared out slightly) I could never bring myself to wear it after that, it went in the charity bag!

lookhappy · 03/12/2020 18:02

Oh god, I must be an old lady then @smallsteps88... haha. it looks quite cool to me. Not styled well tho, in the pic.

Crystal87 · 03/12/2020 18:03

It isn't bad, but a bit old fashioned. I think it's the colour and the collar. It's not something I would wear myself but you should wear it if you like it and ignore him.

Doingitaloneandproud · 03/12/2020 18:05

I also meant to say that's only because my Nan has a boucle coat similar and she's 90 so that maybe clouding my opinion Blush

unlikelytobe · 03/12/2020 18:05

Men often don't get female fashion, let's face it.

Candyfloss99 · 03/12/2020 18:06

We can't possibly know if he was being unreasonable without seeing the coat.
