Is this jacket awful?

Name changed as I'm embarrassed about liking this jacket. I like the lagenlook style of dressing and have many pairs of good quality harem trousers. I want to buy this jacket to wear with them though I have a feeling/know it's awfully tacky. But I really like it. If it was £££ from a designer shop I wouldn't hesitate. It comes in many different colours. Honest opinions please if you have time. Is it beyond tacky and as bad or worse as the 'angel wings' jackets that are everywhere at present.

It’s up to you whether you like it and want to wear it

Collision · 07/03/2020 23:01

You did ask for opinions and my opinion is that it’s dreadful. Truly awful.

What does this even mean?

SinisterBumFacedCat · 07/03/2020 23:03

Looks a bit Masonic culty

PickAChew · 07/03/2020 23:04

Yes.

CuppaZa · 07/03/2020 23:06

Utterly awful

BUNNIESandBISCUITS · 07/03/2020 23:07

I'd wear it, but my general style is 'dressed by my toddler in the dark', so don't take my advice.

SeriouslyRetro · 07/03/2020 23:07

Yeah, it’s naff.

hammeringinmyhead · 07/03/2020 23:10

The thing is, "all was well" are famously the last words in Harry Potter so I'd see it and assume novelty merchandise.

redshoes2017 · 07/03/2020 23:11

Yeah it is awful but you clearly like it so go for it! Who care what anyone else thinks 😬

Enough4me · 07/03/2020 23:13

Not keen, but think my young teen would like the wings jackets

Uraflutteringcunt · 07/03/2020 23:13

If it was £££ from a designer shop it would still be the same style, good or not. I don’t see how what it costs makes any difference to what it looks like? Is it street cred you’re after?

thinkfast · 07/03/2020 23:15

It's not nice. Sorry

LuluJakey1 · 07/03/2020 23:15

Awful.

embarrassedtoask60 · 07/03/2020 23:21

hammeringinmyhead oh thank goodness you told me. It's gotta be a definite no from me then Grin

Bernadette it means if I'd seen it in an upmarket lagenlook shop such as Oska or Sahara I'd have bought it Blush

I think I'd like the wing one in black and actually without the writing on the back I may wear the other one but it would really depend on how I felt after trying them on as it could be tent like on my ample frame Sad

But really who the fuck cares! If you like it then you go for it and screw what anyone else thinks!

Link please Smile

embarrassedtoask60 · 07/03/2020 23:26

Yes, I do like it, however I'm well over 50, I like nice clothes and don't want to look like a pillock. I just couldn't decide whether or not I can get away with it but had a feeling it's naff Grin

Thanks for all your replies. I've now picked out this drapey top to wear as a lightweight jacket alternative type of thing.

yes

AlexaAmbidextra · 07/03/2020 23:35

Well as everything Lagenlook is just a shapeless tent I can see why this would appeal. However, imo, it’s fucking awful. But if you like it, crack on.

Topseyt · 07/03/2020 23:35

Whatever your age, I'm afraid it is utterly revolting Sorry.

GuyMartinsSideburns · 07/03/2020 23:36

If you love it op you go for it Smile

Applefairy · 07/03/2020 23:39

I like the new one - if you pull the look off (and it sounds like you do), I think it will be perfect.

thenightsky · 07/03/2020 23:39

Drapey top is far worse.
