Am I mad to buy on of these coats?!

[boohooyoutoo]

Which is better option 1 or 2? Also, am I mad to pay these prices for a coat?!! I love love love them but I'm a bit concerned they'll go out of style quickly.

What do you think?*

They are pretty classic. The Maxmara coat has been around since 2013 so hardly a fickle fashion piece. I always think they look a little like they are made from fleece rather than the lovely fibres they are actually made of and being shorter, I know I would look crap in it so I have never been tempted but I know that they are supposed to be super warm

I think you can get a much cheaper option that would look just the same for the time it will be in fashion!

I would love to cuddle you with that on 😂

I could be so good for you
Love you like you want me too
Oooh I'd be so good for you

They're hideous; I love it. I would buy the first one, it looks more modern :)

This is coming from a woman who wears a yellow sheepskin "atrocity" though, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Shapeless and unflattering, surely?

I actually love the first one. If you're skinny enough to carry off a bulky coat. But, its crazy expensive and during a lockdown I can't imagine there's many chances to wear a coat like that. And honestly, it is a little bit obscene during these difficult times.

That style of cost is lovely and warm and cosy, but I wouldn’t pay £100 for it, let alone those prices.

TlI really like this style and have adults one but with a hood and this it's it's second winter. It's become a classic style and they must be very well made so will be stylish and warm for many years plus you will be able to easily sell them on if you wish, They are very similar, so I would go for the Hugo Boss purely based on price so that I could also get something else 😉
Having said that I was rather taken aback when I met my 22 yr old daughter today for a walk and she was wearing a new coat - a £1200 Canada Goose in a very unflattering style....but I didn't negatively comment as it's get money her style. My eyes were watering though as I wore my £20!vintage (second hand) leopard print coat!

I bought [[

www.cosstores.com/en_gbp/women/womenswear/coats-and-jackets/coats/product.wool-teddy-fleece-coat-beige.0916512002.html this]] last week. It's fab and a complete bargain compared to the one's in your post op. When it goes out of fashion I wont have to wear it for the rest of my life because I spent eleventy million pounds on it...

A similar NOT adults

Get a primarni version.

Personally I do like the teddy coats. But I think they’ve been around for too long now to make it a good investment at this stage, and I think the trend won’t last forever so it may look dated soonish. The teddy coat trend has been around for a few winters already and although still popular, will eventually fade away I reckon.

I think to spend that much on a coat, better to go for something that really will be worn for decades - eg the classic Max Mara camel coat or similar. I’m not sure you’d get a good cost-per-wear for this style.

@NoCureForLove the link doesn't work but I'm interested to see it!

Max Mara, out of the two. As others have said it will date quickly (it’s the 2/3rd winter teddy coats have been popular and already less worn this season).

If you want a trend piece - go for it! Ultimately and personally I think I would go classic on a Max Mara coat.

Is it gold lined?! Jesus. That's expensive. They remind me of Del Boy

I already have a black one too which I bought in black because if it goes out of style as it's black it will be inconspicuous - not as obvious and I love the warmth of them. I've concluded from the posts that it is pretty ridiculous to buy this court thank you for giving me a reality check!

They're everywhere at the minute! I'd buy a cheaper one in all honestly. I think the style isn't very practical so doubt you'll get much use out of it.

I found a much cheaper version from new look but worried it looks a bit cheap?? Like actual carpet....

If you are even considering spending that kind of money on a Max Mara coat, it has to be the camel weekend coat. It's an absolute classic. These "Teddy" style coats will inevitably go out of fashion

I actually like the new look one better. I don’t think it looks cheap.

@RusholmeRuffian

I'd look like Bungle off Rainbow in that 😂

@ Rush So would I!!!!

🤣

@DrDavidBanner

I could be so good for you Love you like you want me too Oooh I'd be so good for you

@timetochangeagainforever Canada Goose? Not just expensive but also a company that’s known for its animal cruelty and use of real fur .

this one

Ooops. Hope this works...
