I know this isn't a good angle but is the outfit that bad?
Someone told me it was

Is this outfit awful?

Jacket and jumper are a bit charity shop chic.
The jacket would be ok if it was ironed. Jumper is past it’s best.
Shirt, jeans, shoes are fine.

I’d ditch the jumper and jacket tbh.

It looks warm and comfortable. What more do you need?

Chickychickydodah · 11/10/2021 17:15

Looks shabby and untidy to me . Sorry

NinetyNineRedBalloonsGoBy · 11/10/2021 17:16

I think you look cool in a slightly eccentric way! I'd want to be friends with a woman who dresses like that!

StevieNix · 11/10/2021 17:18

Do you like the outfit?
Do you feel good in it?

If so, thats all that matters!
Would I wear that outfit- no but I don’t think you look bad in it at all!

pictish · 11/10/2021 17:18

It would look fine if not for the crumpled, gaping shirt collar which makes it look scruffy rather than louche.

Bluntness100 · 11/10/2021 17:21

Ah just saw it was your partner that said it looked awful and he’s not prone to commenting. To he honest if my husband is wearing something I think looks awful I am straight and tell him to his face.

I’m also ok with the very rare time he does it to me, but I just ignore him, as his dress sense is shit 😂

Did you loose weight? Is there a reason all your clothes are too big? Is the tank top new to you as opposed to totally new? Or habe you worn it repeatedly and maybe not washed it, henc why it looks stretched and worn?

RosieRoww · 11/10/2021 17:24

The idea of this outfit isn't bad- however the fitting of the actual clothes is.

It all looks baggy to me.

doadeer · 11/10/2021 17:27

That's really rude of your partner. It's not the best fitting but doesn't need him to say that. Looks like you have a lovely figure and it's swamped by this. Style wise it's not my bag but who cares I'm just a stranger on the Internet!

Well isn’t your DP a peach. Next time he’s going about his business make sure you tell him he looks a right state. See how positive he feels after that 👌

To be honest as said, Ive no qualms if my husband appears in a bad outfit of telling him. And I’m ok if he says the same back. I don’t get the angst people have about that. Or more accurately it’s men can’t tell women but women can tell men.
Concestor · 11/10/2021 17:30

I wouldn't describe it as an outfit. It looks like you just put on some clothes because you needed to be dressed, it doesn't look like any thought went into it. Which is fine. But it's not fashionable.

FindingMeno · 11/10/2021 17:31

Yes - sorry.

BirdyBirdyTweetTweet · 11/10/2021 17:32

I love it! Genuinely think it's super cool. You have style.

FatJan · 11/10/2021 17:38

I'm really not one to talk but... that's not a great combination of clothes

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 11/10/2021 17:38

www.monki.com/en_gbp/clothing/knitwear/knitted-tops.html Knitted vests are having a moment. And most of these are styled with baggy jeans/shirts/trainers etc. I think OP just needs to tweak the look slightly so it definitely reads as fashion.

I’d tell my dh if his outfit looked rubbish.
DarwenToDartmouth · 11/10/2021 17:43

No xx

Thejoyofslippers · 11/10/2021 17:44

I wouldn’t wear it personally as it’s not my style but I certainly wouldn’t do a double take if I saw someone in this picking up a pint of milk or walking the dog. I think all you are guilty of is pulling on a few easy to wear random pieces, hardly a crime and something we all do. Your DPs comment was a bit nasty, the fact you were taken aback enough to post on here I assume means it’s out of character for him.

Nor me. If something doesn’t look right, I want to know before leaving the house.

mustlovegin · 11/10/2021 17:45

The outfit is fine OP

SoberSadie · 11/10/2021 17:49

I also bought a sweater vest recently, thinking I was pretty cool! My DH thought it was piss-your-pants funny Hmm. Put me off wearing it again the twat. So it might be a DH thing.

Tsubasa1 · 11/10/2021 17:51

No, I wouldn't say it's awful!

When DH says things like this to me I know I’m wearing something fashionable. He’s an excellent barometer.

This is also probably true of my DH.
