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?

The first one is a whole lot better than the second one!

lisab3446 · 11/09/2018 16:31

The pink one is £69 too

It looks like it has no fastening, so you can't do it up. A bit silly for a coat not to be do-uppable.

Crikey! Confused. Ummm I think an art studenty type would look good in the pink coat. The grey one is inoffensively average but is probably designed to be over sized.... I think going down a size would probably not improve it in my opinion.

Il see what it looks like in the flesh.
I find it hard to shop online ..you never really know what your getting.

I think the oversized biker is really fashionable, I've seen a couple of burgundy ones about. Whether the ASOS one is right is a harder question.

Haireverywhere · 11/09/2018 19:51

I also like the burgandy ones. I tend to get the size down because I feel drowned even though oversize is the style. Wear what makes you feel good OP.

tierraJ · 11/09/2018 19:58

I like the new look one but in a smaller size so it looks more smart & fitted.

Don't like the ASOS one at all.

NiamhNaomh · 11/09/2018 21:00

I like the first one. I think in a very small (size 6) it could look pretty cool. The second one is not my cup of tea.

Coat arrived this morning and I love it.
So warm and I think it looks nice.
Couldn't get a better photo

It's not too bad. I'd want something a bit darker and in a warmer tone (more brown than grey).

This could look really great on a certain kind of person imo :)

EverybodysChanging · 12/09/2018 12:21

Looks lovely on you OP Smile

furandchandeliers · 12/09/2018 12:24

Looks great on you op Smile

Branleuse · 12/09/2018 12:26

Im indifferent to it.

I quite like the pink sheepy one, but it looks a bit small in the sleeves and body

Branleuse · 12/09/2018 12:26

Yeah looks nice enough. Better on you than in original pic

InTheNavy · 12/09/2018 12:29

Not overly keen. It's ok. But definitelynot over a chunky green long cardigan as they've 'styled' it in the photo

LanguidLobster · 12/09/2018 13:18

Looks good on you OP :)

Freshprincess · 12/09/2018 14:14

Is that the grey one? It looks almost cream in your photo.

lisab3446 · 12/09/2018 14:40

It is yeah ..it's a lot lighter in person.
More a cream /v light grey

Looks good on you OP but as you’re a size 6 you’d probably look great in a bin bag! I’d look like Del Boy Trotter Confused

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 12/09/2018 14:46

Pink one looks like it should be accessorised with some mittens joined by a string through the sleeves and a hat with ears Grin

PasstheStarmix · 13/09/2018 09:03

Looks lovely on you op, you really suit it, the coat look better than on their weird advertisement picture, they should use yours and they might actually sell more of them!

championquartz · 13/09/2018 09:32

Love it.
Looks nicer on you than the model.
