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

AIBU to LOVE this silk shirt?

I actually like it.

But when I envision it looking amazing on someone, that someone is skinny and super understated in every other way.

It's beyond hideous- sorry.

waterlego · 29/01/2021 18:36

Too early 90s Jazzy Jeff for my tastes.

😆

waterlego · 29/01/2021 18:37

Sorry OP, I really don’t have a very strong opinion on the shirt. As I said earlier, I have no sense of style, but some of the comments on this thread have really cracked me up. Thank you witty MNers for making me smile.

You’d get a much nicer vintage one for £30. I like to your styling idea though, that would look great.

Hotzenplotz · 29/01/2021 18:48

It is an abomination from Hell.

If you like it, sod what anyone thinks, wear it with pride!

ToastyFingers · 29/01/2021 18:48

I really like it. I'd wear it buttoned all the way up and half tucked in.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 29/01/2021 19:31

OP you're flippin gorgeous!

I agree with 2nd ... vintage may be a better route? You've such a great figure something slimmer fitted will look great.

LaurieFairyCake · 29/01/2021 19:43

Love it

Aria999 · 29/01/2021 19:45

Nice pic! You're clearly a person who looks good in anything so you might just about pull it off...

But there are SO many other things you would look drop dead amazing in! Still a no from me!

Littlepaws18 · 29/01/2021 19:47

Reminds me of Timmy mallet!!!

StyledOnLordBath · 29/01/2021 19:48

Also... who’s Sgt Pepper? (Sorry)

hansgrueber · 29/01/2021 19:49

@sirbobblysock

For some reason I see Nelson Mandela wearing it.
Exactly my thought!

Oh dear. Anyone else feel old?

Oh dear. Anyone else feel old?
I've just asked my 20 year old son if he knew what is or was Sgt Pepper. He rolled his eyes ( as they do) and named tracks.
No need to feel old because people don't know about popular culture or can't Google.

PickAChew · 29/01/2021 20:51

I like the colour combinations but the way they're a weird combo of colour blocking and pattern looks a bit unbalanced.

I wouldn't wear it purely because I look ill in yellow.

OhWhyNot · 29/01/2021 21:01

😬

Saying nothing

Letsskidaddle · 29/01/2021 22:37

The way you've said of styling it, and being young and slim, you'll totally nail this! I sat go for it, I'd really admire it on someone who'd styled it well.

I have a gorgeous - IMO - pair of shoes languishing unworn because of ONE negative opinion "oooh, not keen on those..." comment. I shouldn't have listened, I loved them and they made me happy.

If the other photo is of you, you have an amazing figure and will really suit the shirt with skinnies!

NotyouGuillermo · 29/01/2021 22:51

It’s a bit Noel Fielding.

Ileflottante · 29/01/2021 22:53

I think it’s funky and if well dressed and accessorised, would look ace. Noel Fielding should get one and you should go out together, both wearing skinny jeans, Cuban heels and big fedoras. Smile

Ignore this lot, they’re all decked out in lockdown loungewear from Boden and Hush.

Ileflottante · 29/01/2021 22:54

@NotyouGuillermo cross post!

Also, ace name. Love that show.

alltheadrenalin · 29/01/2021 22:55

I love it! Would wear it with 80s high waist mom jeans

chipperfish · 29/01/2021 22:58

Like a cross between Nelson Mandela and a deckchair
Which is perfectly fine if thats the look you are going for

JaneJeffer · 29/01/2021 22:58

If you resemble either Kate Moss or SJP go for it. They look good in anything.

Oooohbehave · 29/01/2021 23:11

Only a tall, thin, beautiful woman could pull this off I reckon.
