I don't like it, sorry. Think the idea of an item of clothing being 'try hard' is utterly, unspeakably ridiculous though.

Have you dark hair ? If you do then it is going to make you look washed out, all that paleness next to your skin and hair. you will need a scarf to give you colour in your cheeks which will defeat the object probably ! If you are pale blond or have ash highlights it should work because the delicate colouring will work well.

Regarding shape, have you got a proper waist ? If you do it will make you look squat because it is not tailored but if, like me, you don't have much of a waist / hips, a bit straight up and down but are slim then the shape will work well.

The arms stop above the cuff too so you can't wear just anything underneath.
Hope that helps.

Remus I suppose I mean the styling of the model on the website. It just looks a bit too put together. I don't particularly mean the OP wearing it with her own style but if a friend of mine turnt up wearing the whole shebang (the whole outfit) I'd think she'd suddenly turnt into the fashion editor of Glamour magazine.

Agree that the styling is ridiculous. But it's no more 'try hard' than me trying not to look like an idiot. It's just some (very stupid) trousers and a jacket - it hardly indicates excessive effort.

It's nice but I agree with nick - it's not right if you have big boobs.

Also, I'm a bit of a scrooge and I'd be minded to wait until next Friday to see if it pops up in any kind of Black Friday sale.

But I love the styling Shock I even like the silly bag with no handle. It doesn't mean I'd wear any of it but I like to see it.

BusterGonad · 18/11/2016 17:14

It's only my opinion, it's not my cup of tea but I'm sure an outfit I think is amazing wouldn't be your cup of tea and I'm fine with that. I'm pretty happy in my fashion choices that I can deal with it.

To be honest, I think the jigsaw one looks much nicer. I suspect the John Lewis one will be hard to wear in reality,,,

TheNaze73 · 18/11/2016 19:27

Love it to bits

Dancergirl · 22/11/2016 12:24

It's arrived and going straight back!

Dentist is about right Grin

Will look for the Jigsaw one in their sale.
