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.

I like it, very urban/modern/street, great casual look. Wear it & enjoy. Style is personal.

Op, i don't know the look you're going for, can you link to a pic?

dudsville · 07/03/2020 23:45

I just realised i could Google "lagenlook", ignore me!

It isn't urban or modern. Its scruffy and naff. I wouldn't wash my car in it. Or with it.

The drapery top is much nicer

Not my style. At all.

And can’t say I’ve seen angle wings ‘everywhere’ either but maybe in your neck of the woods.

Just googled Lgenlook - am I right you mean draper clothes for overweight people?

The jacket is awful OP - it won't do you any favours whatever your shape.

Yes.

gulp

This is the sort of spring/summer look I like, but with flat sandals rather than heels. Photo is a model, not me. I can't find a jacket that I like, without a logo of some sort on the back. Well, I did see a plain white one online, but I'd prefer green or slate.
I have a few pairs of linen trousers very similar to the second photo, also have loads of loose lagenlook style long summer dresses and was after a lightweight, longish, quirky jacket to throw over if it turns chilly. I'm going to buy the drapey top and see what it looks like on.
Thanks for all your replies.

I do the Monty27 look
If you like it wear it

The jackets are truly horrible. The drapey top is much nicer.

The model looks as if she could a character in Midsomer Murders. She would be running some sort of vegan, cultish, commune in a large country house and would probably be the first victim.
