Opinions on this jacket please

[nannyplummyarse]

Got this yesterday. It's not normally something I'd wear but I love leopard print. Is it too loud? Will I stick out like a sore thumb in the playground? 😬🤦🏻‍♀️

Pat Butcher.

Sorry OP, that's awful. Really awful. Pat Butcher is exactly right!

Love it!

I think the problem with it is that is looks like a shirt rather than a jacket/ coatingan or coat. Nothing wrong with leopard print if you time it down with black but I don’t think this has enough wow factor as it just looks like a shirt.

Sorry I quite like a bit of leopard but that is awful (it’s the shape).

I think it might look good if you go quite plain, jeans, white tshirt, white trainers or all black. Anything else might be a bit much.

Can you take another photo with you wearing it? It does look quite boxy on the hanger, but that is sometimes misleading...

It's too much. FAR too much.

Pat butchers a ledge 😜

It's a very light weight jacket shirt thingy I can't really describe it. I'd wear it with all black, leggings/jeans and a long tee and trainers. It's a big fit boyfriend sort of fit.

Oh and it's got drawstrings inside so you can pull the waist in.

is that FOUR patch pockets?

I like leopard as much as the next woman Bet Lynch but I do think it needs to be a simple cut and no frills and frou frou .

I think patch pockets are very very too much

I'll get a pic with it on tomorrow. I'm in my pjs now lol.

@MsMightyTitanAndHerTroubadours what are patch pockets?

patch pocket is a piece of fabric sewn on to the front of a garment to form a pocket. As opposed to e.g. a hidden seam pocket where the opening is in part of the side seam, or like a trouser front pocket where the opening is on the front of the garment but the pocket " pouch" is inside.

If you went for black skinny jeans and sparkly silver boots and a neon top it could look a bit Noel Fielding.....

Um, well it's not my thing, but I'm sure Liz McDonald would love it.

How old are you OP?

The pockets, the rolled-up sleeves, the drawstring waist.....it's all really frumpy. Like it's trying to be edgy but has failed massively. If you're 18 and size 8, maybe you can get away without it looking totally hideous but anyone older/bigger is going to look like they're wearing a very dodgy anorak. I think this is the most hideous item of clothing I've ever seen anyone post on Style & Beauty actually.

That's so bad I'm not sure this is a serious post if I'm honest.

Ah no there not patch pockets there actual pockets.

@HundredMilesAnHour 34. Umm it's from river island. I don't think they do anything grumpy and I'm a size 8-10 if that makes any difference.

This is it

That style of jacket is everywhere at the moment - all over the high street. Not entirely sure about the leopard print though - but I think it would be ok with some plain jeans and white trainers.

It's what they call a 'shacket' - cross between a shirt and a jacket.

Love it!

Oh I tried those trousers on today. Really uncomfortable because the seams rub - they aren't lined. Plus I'm an 8-10 and the 10 felt really tight. They looked like a bad version of something Primark would do.

The jacket is not nice.

I'm not a fan .. sorry
