Do you like this jacket??

[cupcakes]

Need a second opinion!
I have been lusting after this jacket in Boden for a while and have just bought it in the sale (in the spearmint colour).
Dh thinks it is ghastly, the colour is too bright and it looks like something his gran would wear.
I am now no longer sure!
What do you think?!

it looks like a nice jacket! if you like it then keep it!
never listen to what men have to say about clothes!

Just tell him his gran is a stylish lady with impeccable taste.

His gran is a little bit 'nutty' (their nickname for her) which is what has got me worried!

Have to say the colour is a bit old lady imo, but i like the jacket itself.

Sorry

Interesting - not just my dh then... [ponders]

• I'm too heavy to wear anything like that as its paddedness would make me look like man mountain

If you like it - go for it

I do like it. And I know that dh often thinks he doesn't like an item of my clothing but once he's used to it he'll admit to changing his mind.
But for some reason I'm still not sure. Probably because it's dd's birthday soon and I'm thinking the price of it could go to something else!

And I have to admit to often being swayed by Johnny Boden's descriptions in the catalogues...
I do have a weak spot for Boden which is why I can no longer trust my own decisions!!

Not my taste, tbh. I'd prefer something more fitted and less padded.

Personally wouldn't have chosen that colour but style looks fine to me.

Yes, the colour is what seems to be making me most unsure. It is actually brighter than it appears in the picture.

Personally, I like the look of the Coral one (but surely Jade must be making a comeback if Boden have it in stock - its not exactly Littlewoods is it?)

don't like it. sorry.

Those of you who don't like it - is it the colour or the style?

both but mainly the colour

Both, for me I'm afraid. Puffa styles rarely flatter any figure.

That's it then - it's going back.
(I think )

Colour mainly, but puffas are not v flattering unless you look like the models. Jacket looks ok shape wise, but they never look as good irl imo. She says sitting in a knee length puffa at the pc unable to get used to the cold!

I am not as slim - I am a size 12. It is lovely and warm and I love the gillet. I really love duck egg green and variants on it but this is really turquoise.

I love the jacket - love the colour but not too sure about them both together. Your choice though!!

Ah! Somebody who likes the colour!

Hi Cupcakes. Afraid I am agreement with Sparkler like the jacket and the colour - just not together!!

not as slim at size 12 fgs!!! get a grip woman

What's your skin tone and hair colour cupcakes? That makes all the difference IMO.

Honestly, I don't particularly care for it. The style or the colour.
