Is this a really boring middle-aged waterfall cardi?

Or is it quite nice?

I can't decide.

I like it Blush

Looks really cosy, think you'd have to be kind of skinny to suit it though.

Worn with frumpville clothes, it would look frumpy but worn with a black t-shirt, skinny jeans & some biker boots would look good , imo.

But, I like chunky knit type things and fake shearling anyway, worn big with slim/skinny fit everything else.

Oh God no, it's awful , and I wear waterfall cardis so was quite prepared to say I liked itGrin

I think wearing a waterfall cardigan is like wearing a sign that says 'Look at my hips'. Same with kimonos. And gilets - I just don't understand them at all. I won't, however hear a word against a fitted, round-necked cardi.

The original one in your op also comes in cream. It's not the most fashionable item, granted, but much better in a lighter colour.

I noticed the river island website is full of waterfall jackets so I guess they are the height of fashion. Don't fall for it though ;)

Check out whether Carol in Eastenders wants it, before you take it back.

Marymotherofcheeses, I tried it on and it didn't look good on me, and it was not warm, so I didn't buy it!

Went to Tkmaxx instead and bought a lovely coat and a beautiful wool drape style grey cardi, not unlike the cos jumper everyone was raving about on here. It was only £40, and is really lovely and flattering on. Will try to link.

It's very similar to the jigsaw one linked above, just grey instead of navy.

When unsure I ask myself "would Corrie's Leanne wear this?" If yes then I back away fast.

OldF0ssil · 15/09/2014 10:39

Would Hayley have worn it? lower the bar there.

If it wouldn't look out of place on a rail at a market stall in Albert Square, then it's a no. NO!
