OMG How cosy does this coat look! But would it be a fashion faux pas?

Love this... but would it be a mistake?

I just love to be warm

I was actually on a quest to find a nice black parka but got side tracked!

It looks very cosy but sadly looks like a dressing gown!

Pretty sure I had that coat at preschool in the 70s. Stick to the black parka!

It looks very cosy but sadly looks like a dressing gown!

I think that's why I'm drawn to it

I've seen teddy coats in a few shops lately. They have a thicker one that's shorter in topshop that I want bad. It looks so cosy too

I’ve actually got a dressing gown that looks just like that! I think it was £8 in Tesco so keep your eyes peeled you might get a bargain

It might look cosy but I suspect the wind would whistle straight through it

No it is horrible
My 16yo DD loves OU , she would make a bee-line for that coat .

I bought her one from Primark ( same type of material, more jacket-like with buttons ) for £25 in early August (at her insistance )
She loves it , but she can carry it off with the folly that is youth .

Another one that says dressing gown. And if you live in the UK - May I remind you it rains, a lot.

There are some gorgeous teddy costs about that don't look like dressing gowns

Ugh no. It’s a horrible colour and looks like lounge wear. It would be horrible in the rain and crap in the wind. It’s really just for posing around in.
That said, if you’re taken with it then obviously you should buy the ghastly thing.

Awwww ds had one like that when he was about 18months.

I wish I were young enough to wear that. Lovely! But not practical for normal people. The name 'chuck on jacket' is a warning .

I’ve just bought my DD a teddy coat for 6th form, it’s a relief to have found a coat she actually wants to wear! It does look very cosy and cute but she’s 16 with a figure to die for so would look lovely in anything lucky thing.

My DD has something very similar. Except hers has ears. She’s 2.

It does look warm but I wouldn’t wear it out,

I've got 2 teddy coats from Topshop, one cream and one bright blue, mine are like a pea coat style. I love em

Mine

No fastenings! Outdoors you wouldn't be cosy for long. I think it looks lovely for snuggling into on the sofa, though.

Depending on the shape of your face and how tall you are, you'd either look like a llama or a sheep.

You would always need at least one hand free to keep it anchored in the wind. We get a lot of wind in this country. And rain. I reckon it would be useless in both. Fine for a nice calm, crisp, dry autumn day but it doesn't look very practical!

I knew this would be a teddy coat.
You'd look like an overgrown baby. Put some ears on the hood .

It's the kind of clothing that unless you are either a teen or you don't care what people think which would also mean you would unlikely to be asking us the question, avoid it.

Christ, it’s terrible. Don’t buy it.

This thread.

It would be a mistake.

Actually, with all the current news about furries, I'd give it a miss.

Sorry, it’s hideous. But don’t let that stop you, I wear all sorts of shite 😁
