Is this beautiful, or hideous?

leather blazer I can see a zillion ways I could incorporate this into my wardrobe. But I'm worried I might look as though I'm trying so hard to look cool, and maybe I'd be better off with a plain leather blazer. And if I buy it, it will hang in my wardrobe to be admired and stroked.

I don't think you could wear it regularly because it's so distinctive and you would have to be very stylish otherwise it will look very dated . I don't think it looks that great on the model to be honest 😬

rightknockered · 23/02/2018 10:22

I am ever so stylish, in my eyes. I reckon it will look better on me than on the model. (very delusional today, even in love with my own crows feet Grin)

I really don't like it, the length doesn't look right and I don't like the studs. Leather blazers remind me of the 1990s.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 23/02/2018 10:24

I love it but wouldn't pay £330 for it.

Minestheoneinthegreen · 23/02/2018 10:26

It is very....unique. And very expensive. If it would make you happy, go for It, safe in the knowledge your best mate/daughter are unlikely to pinch it off you Wink

MsJolly · 23/02/2018 10:26

If you are 16-25 yes other than that I probably would go for a more vintage look

sportyfool · 23/02/2018 10:37

There is a studded biker jacket in hush at the mo . Maybe more useable .. I rather love it !

TSSDNCOP · 23/02/2018 10:43

No. Even on the model it looks just too slightly wrong. Maybe the length.

hornetgirl · 23/02/2018 10:45

I like it

FauxFox · 23/02/2018 10:48

I don't like it sorry - looks cheap... maybe find a similar one that is cheap and try it out before committing to the £££ one?

Abetes · 23/02/2018 10:53

I hate it - sorry. Looks very old fashioned and awful.

Fontella · 23/02/2018 10:54

Personally I think it's awful - but each to their own. I'm sure people would say the same of some of my fashion choices - that's the thing, we are all so different.

My daughter is the same size as me and has the same shoe size and spends a fortune on her wardrobe - so on the face of it, I've got access to all of that. But the problem is she buys stuff I would never wear and vice versa!

If you like it and think it would suit your body shape then go for it and sod what anyone else thinks!

IsThisMeToo · 23/02/2018 10:55

Not for me. But if you like it and you will wear it, get it.

Leilaniiii · 23/02/2018 10:55

I think it's horrible, sorry. An animal skin with studs on. Yuck.

VileyRose · 23/02/2018 11:03

I really hate it, sorry.

Mulberrysilk · 23/02/2018 11:05

Hideous might be too strong a word but it's definitely not beautiful.

HildaZelda · 23/02/2018 11:05

It's an unflattering length and looks really dated, especially with the studs. It's a no from me.

MagicFajita · 23/02/2018 11:09

It's horrible.

Even if you love it would you wear it often enough to justify the price?

RatherBeRiding · 23/02/2018 12:45

There's nothing really special about it; even the studs look just a bit...... not sure what really. I think there must be a lot nicer out there for the price.

PasDeDeux · 23/02/2018 12:57

It's awful IMO. I immediately get a mental image of a woman in their 40s with a blonde perm wearing it in the 90s.

Thumbcat · 23/02/2018 13:00

I think it strays ever so slightly into Pat Butcher territory but if you're young and trendy you might be ok.

I like it.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/02/2018 14:21

Not a fan, sorry. It screams 1984 to me.

RebeccaCloud9 · 23/02/2018 14:22

Pearly queen?
