Found this yesterday in M&S while looking for pants. It's PER UNA. you could have knocked me down with a feather. Looks great with rolled up jeans and white trainers. I know

I would look totally funny farm in that

Worst thing ever. Apart from culottes, which I've seen 3 people wearing today. They look freezing and as if they forgot the rest of their trousers.

I love it - think it would look great with jeans and trainers.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 22/03/2017 14:17

I tried some culottes on yesterday I know, im a fool to myself and I looked quite demented. How the fashion bloggers do it I know not .

It's not remotely similar but I picked up this Mango jacket in TK Maxx today for £19.99 and am currently deciding whether to keep. Think yours would look better with jeans and trainers than mine. It's probably a return but I hope you keep yours!

I love culottes on others. Not a look I can pull off especially with flatform trainers like the bloggers. I look like a clown. They only suit me when worn with heels but I would rather them as a day time look so heels & culottes aren't happening.

Do you want to borrow my glasses

LadyOfTheCanyon · 22/03/2017 14:22

Bounce That's really pretty but I would look like a frumpy Art Teacher in that due to my big boobs. This is what I love about S&B -everyone is different!

I'm under 30, and own a few bits of Per Una. Each to their own, that jacket is cute, but it wouldn't suit me.

Mutella · 22/03/2017 15:34

I wouldn't wear any bomber jacket but that one is ok! if it were from Zara people 'd be fawning over it.

^ this exactly.

I'm taking Mango jacket back - too 70s for me. 'Tis pretty though.

I'm not too sure about that to be honest. I can say i wouldn't. Sorry op. As said I don't like a busy pattern, sequins, and prefer fitted jackets. So the brand isn't really relevant. However the reason shops have so much variety is we all have different tastes.

I just orders this jacket this morning, which I shall also wear with jeans, as the op will hers. Many folks would not like my choice either.🤔

It's lovely

SouthWestmom · 22/03/2017 20:01

I've just ordered the judo jacket and wrap dress from Limited sale. Very marmite!

BitOutOfPractice · 22/03/2017 20:07

OP I love your jacket too

VivienneEastwood · 22/03/2017 21:08

Bombers are on the way out.
No matter where you bought it from.
Personally I like it, but I think it will look passé in another month.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 22/03/2017 21:11

Bluntness your jacket is wonderful. I always wish I could carry off such lovely shapes but I get all magpie about colours and glitter.

Vivienne I care not one jot. I'm short and fat and absurdly pleased whenever something I like fits me, so I will be obliviously unfash. Smile

I like it.

BifsWif · 22/03/2017 21:16

Love it! Especially with cropped jeans and white converse/trainers like you say.

NoTimeToDillyDally · 22/03/2017 21:22

Eeeew yuck!

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 22/03/2017 21:26

dd has one a bit like that from tesco, and I nearly texted her the other day cos some middle aged bloke was wearing one on something

...maybe the Sara Cox Dance-athon?? Can't think what else I have watched with a middle aged bloke old enough to know better

Aaaaannnnnny way it was just like this as it had way more embroidery on than dd's, and I didn't text her as she would not have know wtf i was on about anyway.

CaoNiMartacus · 22/03/2017 21:58

I genuinely can't decide whether I love it or hate it!

ChinUpChestOut · 23/03/2017 10:17

Bluntness your jacket is Jaeger in the sale, isn't it? I've been coveting the camel version for a while now, it looks such beautiful fabric. But I can't get it. Sadly the car's just gone in to the garage and it's going to be a 4 figure bill........Sad

CantChoose · 23/03/2017 11:38

It's not my taste at all but I've seen several otherwise stylish people wearing similar things recently so I must be missing something!
