Would you wear a coatigan ?

[Fidgety31]

I picked one up in next today - grey in colour .
I’m not sure if it looks like a dressing gown though!
Or are they just for grannies ?

I came on to say I've got a grey one from Next! So I might be biased but I love it

I have a dark turquoise very plain jaeger one which always gets compliments I wear it with a navy or black dress
I also have a button up one from massimo dutti that can be worn as a sweater dress - it’s also reversible so can turn round and wear as dress with buttons up the back

I bought this coatigan from urban outfitters in 2016 I think?

Still wear it almost daily in this sort of weather.

I just love the word ‘coatigan’. They aren't really a definable thing though. They vary from large dressing gown like woolly cardigans, to more elegant lightweight coats.

‘Shacket’ is another word I like.

It's a bit too close to "shart" for me (sorry to lower the tone).

I have 3 and love them all. One from Sainsbo's last year, one from a charity shop and a recent one from Asda. I love them at this time of year - get too hot in winter coats and find them too bulky, Coatigans fit the bill perfectly.

Bought one, looked ridiculous, gave it to (taller) my sister, she looks fabulous.

I want one but I'm pear shaped and short and suspect they won't be my friend 😭

I've got 3 and love them I often wear them at this time of year as it's not quite cold enough for a coat yet.

This is a tall peoples thing tbh. I think it makes most average to shorter people look a bit hobbity!

I’ve got this one and love wearing it. Don’t know if I’m kidding myself, but I feel it looks less frumpy on me than the model.

Just came on to say this! I was going to say I hate them but probably because I am short!

i have a few, my fav are two knitted tweed wool coats/cardigans that are v long from Uniqlo.

Whaaaat? Tall people thing. You wash your mouths out.

I'm 5ft3 and look tres chic in mine its from Asda

I love them I've just recently bought a new one so handy during the colder days

I couldn’t, I imagine it would make me feel a bit sad in an Elinor Oliphant kind of way (I seem to remember she had a coatigan)

I also have a grey one from next, it’s probably the same one! I’ve been wearing it quite a bit lately, it’s easy to throw over a T-shirt and jeans on the nursery run but a lot smarter than the hoodie I was previously wearing.

Love mine - they are comfy and cosy, can double up as loungewear when it's too cold to wear out of doors. I have four!

I have one that I absolutely love, fab with jeans, T-shirt and boots

I am a short pear and would wear a coatigan, it's about finding the right one. For me, it would have to be quite smart and not too bulky, but I can definitely pull it off. The Claudia one is lovely, not 100% keen on the neck, but I thinks it's massively overpriced.

J Crew do a lovely one, not cheap either:

I've recently bought this one, it's even nicer irl and I'm only 5'2.

I have a couple and absolutely live in them. However I do avoid ones with belts as they feel a bit too dressing-gowny.

I’ve have a grey one from Next too. It’s perfect for transition weather. Also had lots of compliments on it too. I think I’ll get another Next one in another colour

Live in mine in the winter as I'm in and out of my car I don't want a big coat and it's too cold for me to wear a thin cardigan I find them perfect.
