Is this a really boring middle-aged waterfall cardi?

Or is it quite nice?

I can't decide.

Completely hideous.

How is it described as a waterfall cardi. It just looks like some old persons jacket

So, why are kimonos ok? I'm getting drape blind.

Kimonos seem a bit useless to me. They're really lightweight, so won't keep you warm. What's the point?

Mind you, you probably don't want to listen to me. I own 2 waterfall cardis and wear them both regularly.

I have a kimono but havent worn it yet (southern hemisphere, we're only just coming into spring) but I'll wear it over shorts/swimsuits to keep the sun off

I think it's because kimonos don't have a non-decorative point. Cardigans are practical, fashion hates that

Personally the reason I hate waterfall cardigans (on me, perfectly fine if a bit dull on others) is that they're unflattering - they have loads of fabric at the front where it gets in the way and after it skims over boobs it hangs like curtains making me look fat. And at the back it hides nothing, and my bum is what needs hiding not my front.

Knitwear. Every year it
Is a minefield for me. I find it really really hard to buy jumpers and cardigans. When I look at them
In shops I think, "can I visualise this in a charity shop" and the answer is often yes. Then I don't buy it, hence I spend a lot if winter freezing.

I like waterfall cardis as have big baps and fiddly little buttons just look fussy ( as well as not doing up properly). But those are not v flattering examples of their kind...

What about a chunky jumper instead? Or are you looking for an outer layer coat substitute (rather than layering)?

for example

Or an asymmetric jacket?
eg

I quite like waterfall cardigans.

Kimonos pointless I had one it just hung there so I took it on holiday as a bikini cover and left it there! Waterfall cardigans are bad,but the op looks more like a suede jacket

What's the verdict on this one?

What about this jacket then?

I was going to buy this with my birthday money this afternoon, but it looks suspiciously like the cardi that is getting slated on here, don't want to waste my money on something ugly! I haven't tried it on yet, so maybe that will make up my mind!

I dont like it, and I'd be looking for 'real' rather than 'faux' for that kind of money

Lisam, that's the one I linked to

Don't do it....

Not nice and I normally love oasis stuff

what about a cape type thing? least it's got some wool in it..

nice one from Hush ?? nessa cardi

I quite like that cape but I suspect it might swamp me.

Maybe I don't want a cardigan. Maybe I want a <a class="break-all" href="http://m.newlook.com/shop/womens/jackets-and-coats/navy-faux-fur-trim-hooded-gilet-305176641?extcam=AFF_AFW_Editorial+Contentwww.asosfashionfinder.com&awc=1946_1410686667_a2b7d544f0bf4ac24e76ce22467b8fb0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">gilet?

Not too heavy but still good for autumn?

I never really got the point of them, what happens to your arms? they get cold while the rest of you is snuggly?

Josiejumpismyname I quite like that jigsaw one, but I wouldnt wear it myself. The blue is lovely

TK Maxx has excellent cashmere cardis and jumpers. I'm wearing a beautiful one right now, the softest cashmere I've ever felt, and only £40.
