Help! Is this jumper hideous or fabulous?

I have bought this jumper, but can't decide whether to keep it. I loved it in the shop but am now worried it might be a bit OTT. My DC hate it. What do you think? I would wear it with jeans and ankle boots.

I love it!

I love it - but then I love anything animal print - I am bet lynch!!!

Immigrantsong · 16/09/2018 18:57

I love it. Especially in pink. Eccentric, reminiscent of the 80s and says 'look at me suckers I have balls the size of melons'! A woman daring to wear this doesn't give a shit about what others think and that's the woman I would love to be friends with.

Obviously this is the Marmite of the jumper world...

Having tried it on it is very warm, possibly too warm for my central heated world. It also has a very high neck, which I'm not sure is flattering.

I might have a look at the New Look one. I tried a couple of jumpers on in there recently when I was looking for a stripy one, none of the stripy ones fit nicely but that looks like a better shape.

Again, I wouldn't wear it myself, but do like the pink too. Prefer it actually.

luckylavender · 16/09/2018 19:55

Hideous

IWouldLikeToKnow · 16/09/2018 19:59

Definitely not hideous and certainly on trend. Would work if you're fairly slim with decent black skinnies and black Chelsea boots

Luckystar1 · 16/09/2018 20:04

I love it!!!

FluffyMcCloud · 16/09/2018 20:04

I absolutely love it in both colours. But I am not remotely trendy or fashionable so don’t listen to me Grin

ChimesOnSundayMorn · 16/09/2018 23:28

I like it

JemmimaJ · 16/09/2018 23:43

Not nice

mrsjackrussell · 16/09/2018 23:48

Love the pink Grin

Mumsneck · 17/09/2018 00:10

Hideous Hideous Hideous.

GinIsIn · 17/09/2018 00:15

Have a look at scamp and dude instead.....

SingaSong12 · 17/09/2018 00:17

I'd look hideous in it and I'm not keen on animal print. However if you love it keep it - What ocassion would you wear it for - taking the DC to school, work, a night out?

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 17/09/2018 00:27

I’m sorry I really don’t like it. M&S should stick to pants

user764329056 · 17/09/2018 00:29

Nay, nay and thrice nay

Chocolatedeficitdisorder · 17/09/2018 01:14

DramaAlpaca · 17/09/2018 02:03

Listen to your DC, OP. That is one of the most hideous garments I have ever laid eyes on.

mrbob · 17/09/2018 02:08

I wish I could get away with that. It is hideous in a REALLY cool way. Agree you need skinny jeans and a slightly dishevelled hair do as if you might be hungover and then it will look cool AF (and no I am not being sarcastic- it would totally be worn around the hipster places round here)

Trumpton · 17/09/2018 07:48

Got my MIL this one from Tkmaxx recently . I actually like it very much but she is tiny and 95 and doesn’t give a fig about other people’s opinions ( even mine !)

I live these threads as what you like is so subjective. If you like it, but it and wear it who cares what Sandra from Doncaster thinks?!

scatteredglitter · 17/09/2018 08:11

Saw this in store yesterday - i reckon it will baggy and saggy after a couple of washes plus the material was fluffy and I reckon would make a stick look chunky and fat. The length was totally not right for me too it finished just the right hip length to make my hips and thighs looks mahoosive.
