AIBU to LOVE this silk shirt?

Would love some thoughts on this shirt - I’m picturing it with top few buttons undone, worn with skinny jeans and heeled ankle boots for when we can actually go out of an evening again!

YABU - No, I’d rather wear a bin bag
YANBU - It’s weird, in a good way

Reminds me of Melania's dress when she stomped off the helicopter into the waiting car - never to be seen again.

Sorry!

To each their own, but I can see how it ended up on The Outnet.

SmellyPooHead · 29/01/2021 14:45

Its not something I would wear

Hoppinggreen · 29/01/2021 14:46

Bloody awful

Pukkatea · 29/01/2021 14:47

I don't love it, but the way you suggest styling it it would probably look ok.

icelollycraving · 29/01/2021 14:47

I don’t like it personally but if you do, buy it.
Life is too short to worry what others think of a shirt.

Bouncebacker · 29/01/2021 14:48

That’s pretty horrible - sorry OP (mind you I’m currently wearing my Pajamas so what do I know?! 😂

ViciousJackdaw · 29/01/2021 14:51

Two hundred quid? Fuck that...

Aria999 · 29/01/2021 14:51

YABU

It reminds me of my dressing up box in the 80s stuffed with unwearable 70s hand me downs from my parents.

MacDuffsMuff · 29/01/2021 14:52

No. No. No.

mibbelucieachwell · 29/01/2021 14:53

Hmmm. The If you're tall and slim with dark skin, maybe.

Btw, I have none of those attributes.

sirbobblysock · 29/01/2021 14:54

For some reason I see Nelson Mandela wearing it.

ValidUser · 29/01/2021 14:54

I like it.

(Disclaimer: I have some colour vision deficits.)

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 29/01/2021 14:54

I love it.

Crankley · 29/01/2021 14:55

Hideous.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 29/01/2021 14:55

Meant to say, how you'd wear it sounds good.

HollowTalk · 29/01/2021 14:57

It looks like it belongs on the Sgt Pepper album cover!

2020iscancelled · 29/01/2021 14:57

I actually think tucked in to skinnies, with a fair few buttons open, a complimentary necklace, maybe a blazer over the top or slightly rolled sleeve.... it could work.

It’s Jazzy but lots of people look great in colourful jazzy clothes. Get it and send it back if it doesn’t work in reality.

We regret nothing like the clothes we never bought (or something along those lines)

Marinaloves · 29/01/2021 14:59

You just have to be really thin and olive skinned to get away with it

CoolCatTaco · 29/01/2021 15:00

It's really bad, wouldn't be seen dead in that. Shock

MindBodyChocolate · 29/01/2021 15:00

If you’re very tall, very thin with small boobs this might look ok. But otherwise I’m afraid it’s a big no.

Cocomarine · 29/01/2021 15:02

Wear whatever the hell you like, but that’s one fugly top!

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 29/01/2021 15:04

What 2020 said. Life's too short to just blend in.
Of when you try it on you hate it you can a,ways send it back.

AdventureCode · 29/01/2021 15:05

Looks like an old ladies head scarf, sorry

Nopreservatives · 29/01/2021 15:07

I tend to like things more garish than most but I'd draw the line there.

Mind you, I've never owned anything silk that I didn't turn to rag the first time it was washed, so I couldn't have it no matter how wonderful it was.
