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

It reminds me of something Harry Styles would wear to emphasise how edgy and free he is.

Are you 50+? If.so then yes but skinny jeans plus unbuttoned shirt plus heeled ankle boots sounds very ageing for going out these days...

Jimmypageswife · 29/01/2021 15:15

Reminds me of what my old mum used to wear in the 80s when I was a wee young girl Shock

babbaloushka · 29/01/2021 15:19

I think it looks fab, like how you said you'd style it too.

A late auntie of mine had a similar blouse to that,in the early 60's era, it was awful, and you couldn't see her if she stood next to my Mum curtains. She was usually well dressed all the time as a rule.

PaperMonster · 29/01/2021 15:25

Not my type of thing tbh, but am sure it’d suit someone!

NonagonInfinityOpensTheDoor · 29/01/2021 15:26

It’s good that you like it. We’re all different and if we were all to wear the crap at next, the white stuff, boden or whatever then the world would be a boring ass place.

But you’ve asked on MN where boden and white stuff are literally the bible so you’ll be told you’re vile, tacky, childish etc.

SquirrelFan · 29/01/2021 15:28

I can picture one of the Golden Girls wearing it...

WhereDoMyBluebirdsFly · 29/01/2021 15:32

@sirbobblysock

For some reason I see Nelson Mandela wearing it.

It would only look nice on a tall, slim, olive / darker skinned person. I'm fat and pasty so would look like Del Boy in it

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 29/01/2021 15:32

I really like it actually.

BarbaraofSeville · 29/01/2021 15:33

It would look great under this paint splattered boiler suit, a bargain at £434, but don't delay, they only have the medium left and it's in the sale.

The Outnet has occasional gems. Sadly this isn’t one of them.

Nicolastuffedone · 29/01/2021 15:42

It reminds me of the cover of Sgt Peppers Lonely hearts club band.....

Mamapep · 29/01/2021 15:47

I think you should just wear what you like. Would look good styled right.

YouWontBelieveYourEyes · 29/01/2021 15:49

No.

VinylDetective · 29/01/2021 15:53

I personally don’t like the white panels but otherwise it’s fine. As a pp said, never ask for fashion advice on MN unless your taste is for the uber safe. No imagination.

PraiseTheSunshine · 29/01/2021 15:54

I don't think I could pull it off but I quite like it Grin

Handsnotwands · 29/01/2021 15:56

It’s very Lord Bath

Mumof31981 · 29/01/2021 16:03

Maybe if your channeling Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, then yes, absolutely perfect

Mumof31981 · 29/01/2021 16:04

You're - sorry stupid phone

CoRhona · 29/01/2021 16:05

On the plus side, going by these responses you won't see many other people wearing it GrinGrin

Chambored · 29/01/2021 16:05

I can imagine Eddie wearing it on Ab Fab, so it’s a no from me.

sadpapercourtesan · 29/01/2021 16:05

It's ghastly.

notacooldad · 29/01/2021 16:07

I wouldn't have the confidence to wear it but if you do, seriously go fot it if you love it.
