Opinions on this velvet blazer?

Not sure if I've lost my mind or not- if a yes would wear with really simple dark jeans and white crew neck tee.

No. It's like Joseph and his technicoloured dream coat. Or Elton John.

If you are Austen Powers, totally go for it! Yeah, Baby! 🤭

I love it but I have my eye on a Lucy and yak paisley jacket!

😮

I think it is reduced to clear for a solid reason.

I am no style icon, but yes you have lost your mind!

I kind of...like it. Not with the matching trousers, as that would be lunacy. But as you plan to wear it with plain jeans and a tee, I could see someone pulling it off. Not me. Someone else. Definitely someone else.

I love it, but would never wear it because i could never pull it off. beautiful though.

It reminds me a bit of when Kristin Scott Thomas' character in four Weddings went 'jazzy' for the last wedding. Except, jazzier!

If you love it, it makes you happy and will wear it lots, buy the damn jacket!
I adore a velvet jacket (my mum made me one when I was a teenager in the early 90s and I lived it in,) but the pattern is too much for me personally - if I saw it on someone else I'd love it.

On the right person it could be a look!

Very funky

Ignoring the gaudy colours/patterns, it doesn't look like a well structured or flattering jacket! It doesn't even fit the model well.

Order it if you love it- but only if you can return it for a full refund!

Oh dear god, no.

For context, I'm 50, short blonde hair, quite tall at 5'7" and a size 10/12 (mostly 12). Usually a fairly classic dresser- like to be fashionable but conservative!

I've ordered it already (not from John Lewis- it significantly more reduced elsewhere) and it actually fits well. I can return it so if anyone can link to a blazer which is similar but much nicer- maybe not as garish please do!

Go for it!

I bought the trousers just last week 😁. I'm 55.

I'm worried I'm becoming old and fashion blind! 😁

I love it. Paired with a navy shirt and white jeans. Lovely!

No, it's awful- colours and pattern.

I would admire someone else wearing it, but wouldn't have the confidence my self to rock it.

Life is too short not to wear something you love. My honest opinion, though, (as someone who’s older than you) is that it may give you a look of ‘brave older woman who has decided to embrace eccentricity’. If you’re cool with that, go for it. Personally, I’m not quite ready for my ‘wear purple with a red hat’ stage 😄

Not keen sorry

I love this. If you like colour go for it.

I love it!!! I'd definitely buy it if I could afford it. I bet it looks great on you 🙂

It’s too much for me but I actually love it for someone else. Enjoy it!

Where are you planning on wearing it?
I wouldn’t wear it but if you love it then cool.
