I bought it yesterday in the green, my daughter hates it!

For me - if you want a jacket that length then it's perfect but I prefer longer length ones.

The photos on OP and on website look quite different to me.

They’re totally different jackets.

Didn't OP clarify the jacket was reversible?

SallyWD · 28/10/2022 10:51

I think it's nice. I don't love it (not my style, I go for longer jackets) but I like it and it suits you.

LoobyDop · 28/10/2022 11:22

I like it, especially the colour.

Hoppinggreen · 28/10/2022 11:24

I don’t love it but I don’t think it’s worthy of any hatred

I think for such a high price point it's pretty underwhelming. It isn't that it looks bad- it looks fine on you OP, but the fit of the jacket isn't great, the colour is a bit neither here nor there. To me it just looks like something you could pick up for £20 in Primark etc (and I say that as someone who is more than happy to shop there)

I prefer the other side of the jacket without the puffer detail but do think it would look much better in an oversized fit with a slightly longer length and am not a fan of how large the elasticated cuffs are.

These things are subjective though aren't they. I don't think we can ever expect a teenager to actively thing our clothes are cool as someone years older than them with different lifestyles and tastes, nor should that be the metric used to gauge if we keep or feel good in our clothing.

Of course your dd hates it , she is young and you are old and embarrassing.. my teen dd is the same 🤷‍♀️

I don't like it tbh and have seen nicer bomber jackets in Tesco but each to their own ..

I like the lulu puffers but I think as a brand it's quite overpriced!

It’s lovely, not sure Primark material would compare?

@RoseBucket it's really lovely material, and shower proof! I've worn it out today so think I'm keeping it. I needed a lightweight jacket for warm autumn/spring weather. Thanks for the comments, both positive and negative!

If you’ve worn it out then surely you are keeping it?!

Whataretheodds · 28/10/2022 15:57

The top you're wearing underneath is a totally different tone. If the jacket suits you, the top won't.

happystory · 28/10/2022 16:11

I may be rather old but the colour reminds me of the jackets skinheads used to wear...

NormaTheWife · 28/10/2022 23:43

You are paying for the technical fabric - you don't get that with Primark. A family member of mine has one but I don't think it is anything special to look at but she is a sporty person and wears a lot of their stuff.

Cam22 · 28/10/2022 23:48

Bomber jackets are apparently not in fashion this autumn/winter - not that it matters if you like the jacket.

MOTY1995 · 28/10/2022 23:50

Bombers are out, Aviators are in

Realityloom · 29/10/2022 00:02

It doesn't do anything for you. I don't like it and not worth that price tag!

DennySaid · 29/10/2022 00:13

This month’s Vogue has a whole page of bomber jackets so definitely not totally out this season…

Timetochangetheoil · 29/10/2022 00:40

Was going to say @DennySaid swear I’ve seen them around a lot…

For the price I’d expect something nicer. Imo it really is uninspiring.

MysteryBelle · 29/10/2022 03:21

I don’t like that shade of green but I like the jacket, it’s very cute and looks great on you!

QueueEtwo · 29/10/2022 11:17

I think it looks great on you! It definitely looks better in real life than in the picture!

Thanks @QueueEtwo and @MysteryBelle!

Not my thing but don't think it's awful!
