It’s okay, a bit ‘school run’ for me!

Anordinarymum · 14/09/2021 21:51

I agree. I like it

NotFrozen · 14/09/2021 21:53

It’s really cute. Am tempted buy the short one!

MistySkiesAfterRain · 14/09/2021 21:58

I love a gilet. Very versatile and overcomes the thick jumper under a coat issue.

The length is everything though. What is your most flattering length? To me the short looks a little short and the long looks a little long.

postingfortraffichere · 14/09/2021 22:00

I think I'm veering towards the longer on me as I'm quite tall, 5ft 8 but then it feels more like a coat. Hmmm Decisions decisions!

Look on thr next website , there is a threadbare one for £40 which is the same .

Anordinarymum · 14/09/2021 22:18

I have one just like the short one. I don't wear it much. Wouldn't be without it though and will now take a look at it as I went out today and forgot about it. I wore something else instead. This is what happens when you have too many clothes :)
The long one is not as nice IMHO

DrWankincense · 14/09/2021 22:18

I like the longer one.

TeamRick · 14/09/2021 22:25

I bought a longer one at the start of the spring!
So useful - have worn it loads!

postingfortraffichere · 14/09/2021 22:48

I just ordered the long one!

Good for you ! At your height it will be perfect

The models for AX have a really odd look about them. Really overly made up and fake tanned, it puts me off the clothes as I can't see myself wearing them, and I think it makes the clothes look cheap. I'm sure it's a lovely gilet and the woman modelling is gorgeous but I can't see past the tacky styling

postingfortraffichere · 14/09/2021 22:51

@Anordinarymum thank you! Can't wait for it to arrive now. 3-5 working days is too long 🤣

@TowelStripes I do know what you mean!! The way they model the clothes is definitely more towie style (which is nothing like me at all!)

I have never understood the appeal of these things! Ok for dog walking/mucking out the horses I suppose but why does it not have sleeves???!! I remember a friend of my brother came over - they were all going to the theatre and she went on about getting dressed up for the theatre. I kept quiet but both mum and I agreed it looked like she was about to muck out the horses!

Bontanics · 15/09/2021 09:42

I've never come across this retailer before but I would agree @TowelStripes . The pictures all look like selfies in their back garden.

givinglessfucksdaily · 15/09/2021 11:08

Oh love it ! Tempted myself ... damm you again S and B !!!

CambsAlways · 15/09/2021 12:23

I’ve never ever been a fan of gilets, but looking at the first one, I think you’ve converted me, it’s really nice

givinglessfucksdaily · 15/09/2021 12:29

I've just ordered it @postingfortraffichere thank you ! Love it
Thank god it went up to a 14 lol

postingfortraffichere · 15/09/2021 21:52

@givinglessfucksdaily I hope you like it! Can't wait for mine to arrive !!!

I'm worried about sizing I was going to order two but decided against it fingers crossed fits

@Bontanics they do look like selfies lol! They sell the brand in new look.

It's not the best quality but not the worst either if you find the right stuff

AdoptedBumpkin · 15/09/2021 21:55

Lelly78 · 15/09/2021 22:07
