I have officially failed at Style....

[Gingernaut]

I bought a zip up fleece housecoat from M&S.

It's dowdy, frumpy and grey. It's not silver coloured as M&S claim.

I could cheerfully live in this for the rest of winter.....

I rhink I've just disqualified myself from recommending anything to anyone regarding style or fashion.

I bought one of these last year from matalan. The best thing I've ever bought. My DSis was not so impressed when I got her one for Xmas!

Well I'll happily sit on the frump bench with you. That looks bloody lovely. So snuggly and soft. I'd team it with my long fluffy socks.

My husband is regularly appalled at my choice of nightwear but that would tip him over the edge.

I'm getting one.

Dear god, thats foul, but does look super warm and cosy. I own a lidl tracksuit that I wear for warmth, that is truly a hideous creation as well.

It’s gross. But I bet it gets more wear than any other item in your wardrobe! I have one similar and and I barely take it off to leave the house.

Is it proper long? Because if it is I might have to get one.

Blimey . I do love a bit of M&S frumpery myself but that is something else!

Are you channeling Hayley Cropper?

I work at home a lot....feel a purchase coming on

I yearn for one. I had a YSL one years ago that was a towelling kaftan that went over your head. Loved it

Last winter I was determined to save money on my energy bills by wearing as many warm clothes as possible in the flat. I wore two pairs of tracksuits bottoms, fleecy slipper type things, fleecy hoodie. I was cruising around the flat looking like a flammable michelin lady. So cosy though. I was barely fit for my eyes only though, never mind anyone else!

Ohh Ive been after a zip up dressing gown for ages

Never would i wear that.

I might consider it when I'm 80, sorry it's awful.

Ladies. I salute my fellow frumpers.

If Kate Moss wore it, they'd all want one 😊

Do I spy faux quilting there too?

I have something similar in grey leopard print. It is amazing. I'm totally in love with it for winter nights on the sofa or early mornings our chilly kitchen.

Burn it! (Wearing an oxygen mask because of the fleece fumes). There must be better ways to keep warm????

My favorite S&B post to date

I might be ill or something but that looks comfy .

Sometimes the things we think of a man-repellers only serve to stir the feckers.

I would watch yourself in that one because sparks could fly and not of the bri nylon nature either. That zip front....

Disclaimer- I might just have known a few more unusual men 😁

Will you spend the winter giving your family electric shocks? I bought a fleece dressing gown & the DC won't come anywhere near me in it as I generate so much static in it. I even frighten myself when I touch anything metal!

Do you wear it out the house? It looks lovely and comfy but Im not sure I could wear it out and about.

@Tugtupite, yes indeedy. A quilt pattern has been shorn (?) into the 'fabric'.

I want one!

I'm not into seducing my DH these days (several decades of matrimony have dampened my ardour somewhat) and I now prefer nightwear that is vaguely repellent. This will serve me well, and keep me warm . . .

I was searching for a fleece today, to wear indoors in my cold house. Quite a few in Uniqlo that I would consider wearing for dog walks
