Is this coat as horrific as everyone thinks ?

I love this and think it's a bargain but everyone I know hates it.
I think it would look nice with skinny jeans and a tight top ..
Is it ok?
Even if you don't like it ..I won't look a fool wearing it?

I’m sorry, but I think it’s ugly and it looks too big for her, not because it is, but because of the design.

I wouldn’t think you were a fool though, I’d just think it was an ugly jacket.

...but if you knew me, you probably wouldn’t care what I thought of what you were wearing. I’m not exactly ‘up there’ with fashion, I’m a real jeans & t shirt kind of girl.

I’m only ‘in here’ because you popped up in active 🤣

I love it too....hope you ordered it before bit went OOS!

ConsiderHerWaysAndOthers · 11/09/2018 15:25

I don’t think it’s horrific... just that it looks quite cheap and I can’t see it being particularly flattering.

lisab3446 · 11/09/2018 15:26

I ordered it...but in a size smaller than I am to hopefully counteract the fact it looks a bit big.
I've seen it in person and did love it but didn't try it on..
It's only a cheap coat I'm looking for to go to work in and take the dogs out ..hopefully will do the job..

Not sure. I’ve seen a red one online and can’t decide if I like it or not.

dramaattheschoolgate · 11/09/2018 15:28

on the right person it will look great.

But we can't tell if you are the right person!!

Iwantaunicorn · 11/09/2018 15:29

On the right person, I think it’d look fantastic, but I’m not cool enough to pull it off. Would look fab with skinny jeans and a tight top.

PasstheStarmix · 11/09/2018 15:29

I think it looks worse because of the model on pictures other clothes. What’s she is wearing doesn’t compliment the jacket and makes it look frumpy. I bet with a glam top and skinnies with nice pair of boots it would look nice op.

PasstheStarmix · 11/09/2018 15:29

What she*

lisab3446 · 11/09/2018 15:30

Yeah I thought her outfit didn't do it much justice ..ASOS styling is weird at times

PasstheStarmix · 11/09/2018 15:31

I would go for the grey one over the other, a different outfit will transform it.

Hoppinggreen · 11/09/2018 15:33

Looks like it costs £20

CottonSock · 11/09/2018 15:33

I think the fleece one would look tatty very quickly

whiskeysourpuss · 11/09/2018 15:34

DD has a coat similar to the pink one & it genuinely looks like someone has skinned cuddly toy bunnies to make it.

I'm not a fan of the first one either but then I'm not really a fan of coats - I never wear one even in the midst of winter - so not sure how much weight I'd put into my opinion.

lisab3446 · 11/09/2018 15:34

That's how I would wear it ...
Probably not look as good as them but girl can try ha ha

I struggle with coats too..I drive pretty much everywhere so a jumper or cardigan is normally enough ..
It's just something to wear from the car park to work /dogs really.
Hence why I don't want to spend a lot

statetrooperstacey · 11/09/2018 15:36

I have something similar, but slightly more fitted. I like it, if you can pull it off. If you like it you probably can.

statetrooperstacey · 11/09/2018 15:38

I was talking about the grey one. And yes your pic of how you would wear it looks good. Get it😁

lisab3446 · 11/09/2018 15:47

I ordered a 6 so I'm hoping it won't be too oversized
Fingers crossed

The first one you posted is gorgeous!

saganorenscarandcoat · 11/09/2018 16:20

It's lovely just about 3 sizes too big for the model

Freshprincess · 11/09/2018 16:23

I like the first one, looks like it would be nice and warm.

The pink one is awful, even the model hates it.

ginandnappies · 11/09/2018 16:24

I have a few coats like this. Love it. Wish I could buy it but my partner would hit the roof haha

Immigrantsong · 11/09/2018 16:25

Who cares? You wear whatever the heck you like and rock it!
