Sorry don't like it

HyvaPaiva · 16/11/2013 13:13

Sorry OP, I don't like it at all. Honest opinion, it looks really cheap , fussy, and it would date badly. Those faux leather trims are bad. Blush Sorry I hate being negative but those are my thoughts on it!

Vikki88 · 16/11/2013 13:57

It's horrible. It's also £165. These two things combined makes me think you should turn around & run like the wind. What are the faux leather trims all about?! Confused

fliedpiecatcher · 16/11/2013 15:44

Sorry to add to the no's but think you could do a lot better with that budget.

MelanieCheeks · 16/11/2013 15:46

It doesnt look as if it shoudl cost that much! What would you be wearing it with?

LCHammer · 16/11/2013 15:47

It's too busy and ££££

Sammie101 · 16/11/2013 15:47

It's not very nice, IMO, especially for that price Confused

VerySmallSqueak · 16/11/2013 15:49

I'll go against the flow here.I like the style.

However I think it's too expensive and you could find something of the same styling cheaper and without the faux leather detailing (which I am not so keen on and don't think will last very well without splitting or ripping.)

Strongly dislike. I'm v tall but I think most LTS stuff isn't nice at all

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 16/11/2013 20:36

Too busy
And pleather trim is very 'this year' so will date horribly.

ELR · 16/11/2013 20:38

I think it's really nice! As long as in the flesh it doesn't look cheap it's very nice. If you like it get it.

NearTheWindmill · 16/11/2013 20:39

It looks like the sort of coat for running backwards and forwards to school in. I think you could get something similar for less than half the price.

I'm a long tall girl - get a Didrikson Naomi instead. Lovely long sleeves, smart and super warm...

MillyRules · 16/11/2013 20:43

I like the fact that for the price, its actually down filled so will be very very warm. Some parkas for that price are polyester filled and I think that is rubbish. Not sure about the fake leather trims though, that's not good for the money. Overall I think it might date quickly too.

Thanks all!

You have all put me right off it Grin

What do you mean when you say it will date quickly?

The fake leather trims are very "fashionable" and fussy so it will date much quicker than something more plain and classic. If your going to pay a lot for a coat you want to get at least a couple of years wear out of it.Smile
