Can I still wear my yellow Joules coat?

I’ve had it a few years now, but still love it. It didn’t get much wear last year, as obviously due to COVID I didn’t do much. But have yellow coats had their day?

Keep wearing it if you love it.

Yes. I'm pretty sure Joules not the height of fashion anyway but I like it.

I've hardly seen anyone in a yellow coat.

I'm not sure exact how long I've had my long and short joules rain jackets but I'm not giving them up until they wear out. They are typically joules prints. I find much of my jokes stuff goes well together and then I buy more of it.

Actually is it that short down one that everyone had pre covid? That was kind of everywhere but wasn't a fashion item but a practical one. I wouldn't get rid.

I've just bought one (was in sale admittedly), still available. Lots of people wear that style here because we are by the sea

I feel like they’re seaside classic. Wear it.

This. I'm down in Cornwall at the moment and yellow coats are everywhere. I don't know the Joules coat but would bet money that it's the one I keep seeing... does it have a stripy lining?

We've got to get over wearing stuff that became fashionable more than 3 months ago if we want to save the planet.

You should absolutely wear it if you like it. Disposable fashion is no longer a thing. Wear stuff til it’s done.

The sooner fashion goes out of fashion the better!

If it fits then why wouldn't you be able to wear your own coat? Confused

I am so jealous of people who can wear yellow raincoats. I long to wear a rugged looking, practical yellow Mac, but yellow makes me look very ill.

Wear it and enjoy.

Keep winter drear and drab at bay.

Hope so, because I’ve got one and it’s great in rainy weather.

Are you kidding? They are, or were everywhere.
I bought one a few years ago, having never noticed anyone wearing one, but the first time out wearing it, it seemed like every other woman was wearing one!

I still like mine though, and will wear it again this autumn/winter.

Anything you love should be should be worn as much as possible.

I had that coat and sold it on eBay as it didn’t really keep the rain out and also everyone seemed to wear it where I lived in North London at that point. If you like it, wear it.

@MrsFin certainly not round here there aren’t. Maybe it’s geographic
