[ www.johnlewis.com/whistles-boucle-double-breasted-coat/teal/p4431158] I bought this coat. I really like it on the model and it fits nicely but DH thinks that it “looks a bit like a Christmas tree” am I deluded? FYI I’m short ish with a bit of a belly. Normally I find coats I bit big round the shoulders and arms but this one fits perfectly.

I love the colour looks really nice

sheshootssheimplores · 26/09/2019 19:25

I like it on the model too!

I love that colour, it would only look like a Christmas tree if you stuck fairy lights on it and wore tinsel as a scarf.

IHaveBrilloHair · 26/09/2019 19:27

That's lovely, and not at all Christmas treeish

Jesse70 · 26/09/2019 19:30

BitchyArriver · 26/09/2019 19:33

I like it!

DeadBod · 26/09/2019 19:34

Love it.

I love it! It's beautiful! I love block colours like that.

Ohyesiam · 26/09/2019 19:38

Stop accessorising with fairy lights and you’ll be fine. Grin

I like it.

Onesailwait · 26/09/2019 19:48

Oh that's lovely, I like it in Navy aswell.

It’s a pretty coat in both colors, but I especially like the teal.

MaverlousMo · 26/09/2019 19:54

Nice!

ermwhatda · 26/09/2019 20:00

lovely.

KronksSpinachPuffs · 26/09/2019 20:05

I love it!

But for that much money I'd make sure it fits 100% perfectly :)

Thank you. I feel better about it now. I will stay away from the fairy lights!

It's such a cute coat!!! Maybe he's jealous it doesn't come in mens Grin

chemenger · 27/09/2019 10:08

It’s lovely

ZaraW · 27/09/2019 10:19

It's lovely. I would never ask my partner for his views on clothes he doesn't have a clue.

championquartz · 27/09/2019 10:22

Really nice

MarshaBradyo · 27/09/2019 10:22

Nice

KellyHall · 27/09/2019 16:43

If it fits well and you like it, it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks!

dudsville · 27/09/2019 17:10

It's nice, classic design, it's unusual to have it in green so he's probably just struggling with "different", it's a beautiful jewel green. Love it.

Pastaagain78 · 27/09/2019 17:14

It’s lovely! Just don’t wear bauble earrings, tinsel scarf and star shaped bobble hat. It’s a nice coat.

CountFosco · 27/09/2019 20:41

It's an absolutely gorgeous colour and shape. I would want 100% wool at that price though, how warm will it be?
