What do you think of this coat?

I love the green colour and the style of the collar. I'm not sure if it would look a bit shapeless though......I'm 35, size 8-10 and 5'1".

I like it.

It looks more like a coatigan than a coat though and it looks very formal so it wouldnt look right with jeans and trainers.

I don't love it. I agree that it might look shapeless. You're slim, which helps, but the coat looks much better open than closed in my opinion, and to carry off that look, with asymmetric bits of fabric festooned around your front, you need coat hanger shoulders. Also, the fabric is very synthetic so that will affect how it hangs and it might start to look tatty quickly.

So it's a no from me.

It's a bit 'middle aged posh lady at a funeral'

I'm 37 and can't imagine anyone of my age wearing it.

It's lovely, I'm 34 and would wear it

KeiraH · 06/09/2017 14:52

I like it and would wear it. I don't think it looks formal at all, and will work with jeans too.

Not sure about it op, would you get much wear out of it?

I have one like this from phase eight in electric blue - looks gorgeous on, not shapeless at all and I get lots of compliments on it. Roomy so it's comfortable whatever you wear underneath it

I like it, and it's pretty versatile (I've worn it with formal clothes, traditional asian clothes, jeans etc, it goes with most looks - imo)

It looks maternity, Phase Eight stuff has a tendency to be balloony.

I like it. I have a French connection one with the same kind of collar and I love it. I think it would go with lots of things
