Sexy hair styles in latest M&S girls' coats ad?

102 replies

rhh2011 · 24/09/2015 21:01

So I clicked on the M&S advert in my inbox tonight, and again clicked on the girls' coats ads because it's that time of year...scrolled through the page and noticed the styling of the girl models' hair.

I'm not a prude by any chance, but I am extremely cautious of the images my kids are exposed to and would Never style them above their tender ages of below 5 years. Even if my kids are not viewing this page, I am, and IMHO these images are too sexy, too adult looking.

Is it just me, or is this hair style (part up/down with wispy strands framing the face), just a little too sexy for girls aged 5-14? For instance, would a parent of a child this age purposely style the hair this way - and let her out of the house like that?

I'd be interested to know what others think about this. And believe me, I know this is only a taste of what's to come and they get older!

I don't know about the girls, but the boy in this one seems really fucking embarrassed

Of course he's embarrassed, he's dressed up like a cross between Oliver Twist and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Whoah throw some glitter on that kid and you've got the Twilight Junior series.

I expect the whole thing about us talking about M&S and giving it head space is getting the management very hot Hmm. Maybe OP works for them? seems to have disappeared anyway.

00100001 · 25/09/2015 09:44

maybe it's an elaborate marketing campaign my M&S? Getting us to click through to their website and buy their clothes

00100001 · 25/09/2015 09:45

crosspost with solo :)

We're on to you M & S!! ;)

00100001 · 25/09/2015 09:47

maybe the kids should all have this hair style?

HippyChickMama · 25/09/2015 09:53

This is a very odd op. DD is 2 and has wild, untameable mad and curly hair. Sexy? No. Feral child that thinks I'm trying to kill her with hairclips? Yes.
I do quite like the fake fur coat though.

DieselSpillages · 25/09/2015 09:54

It must be a marketing ploy.. DD needs a winter coat and it got me to have a look, but I was a bit meh at the styles ! I think we are being played.

Mrsjayy · 25/09/2015 09:59

Meh do you think so ? Oh i couldnt see mortified boy just a god awful blazer no child attached

00100001 · 25/09/2015 10:14

Personally I'd be more concerned over actual sexualised children in ads suc as this Cadeux one

AugustRose · 25/09/2015 10:23

Now those ads are definitely [shocked]

AugustRose · 25/09/2015 10:23

or Shock even

00100001 · 25/09/2015 10:25

tha'ts just one of many cadeaux ads :(

Solo · 25/09/2015 10:52

Good God! they're quite disturbing. Disgusting even. Ugh!

ohidoliketobe · 25/09/2015 11:01

Crying at Are you Amish? and the dog.

If that's sexy hair then I'm looking like an absolute sex bomb this morning. Just hope the postman doesn't try and ravish me when my parcel is delivered.

The cadeaux ads on the other hand leave me feeling really sick.

Sunshineandsilverbirch · 25/09/2015 15:24

OP not returned then?

She appears to be a real poster too.

NerrSnerr · 25/09/2015 15:30

To be honest it's really creepy that you you're looking a these pictures and thinking of them as sexy. They're just hairstyles. That is all.

babyiwantabump · 25/09/2015 15:32

You can get sexy hair?Hmm

trevortrevorslatterfry · 25/09/2015 15:43

HoneyDragon - immac babies ???
Something tells me there is a thread in Classics that I've missed

Pico2 · 25/09/2015 15:45

Perhaps they should wear headscarves.

MistressMerryWeather · 25/09/2015 15:56

I've seen some odd shite on MN over the years but this wins.

sugar21 · 25/09/2015 16:05

I think it must be a September thing! So many unexplained phenomena about.

Scarletforya · 25/09/2015 16:14

Hair can't be 'sexy' ! Confused
