I love the style on the model, the leisurely coolness about it- however I worry I will end up looking like an elderly ( I’m in my mid 40s)

It's seriously dull. I hate beige anything as it says nothing about your personality.

WunWun · 23/07/2023 20:26

It's awful, sorry.

It is very beige. I am afraid it gives off pensioner vibes - not trendy, living best life pensioner, but member of Neighbourhood Watch who twitches lace curtains pensioner.

xyz111 · 23/07/2023 20:33

Terrible colour I'm afraid. Maybe in a different colour?

Pkhsvd · 23/07/2023 20:33

Sorry I don’t think it’s very nice

FoxtrotOscarFoxtrotOscar · 23/07/2023 20:38

If you're a pensioner who likes garden centres, it's perfect.

Sometimes garments which are boring and aging are made to look magically 'cool' by the young beauty of the model and the styling used alongside it. And we need to remind ourselves that us mere mortals will look shit in it.

However - In this case even the young beautiful model doesn't look good in it!

No OP! 😳

For me, it’s more Kim Jong-Il.

Very boring and mumsy, sorry.

Lethalinformation · 23/07/2023 20:45

It looks ghastly on the model so god only knows what it would look like on a mere mortal 🥴

febbabies2023 · 23/07/2023 20:46

I'm going to go against the grain here and say I actually like it!

I think it pairs well with what the model is wearing, looks like it would be suitable for spring / autumn when it's not freezing but coat weather too

I'm 28 by the way so not old at all!

Ageist!

WunWun · 23/07/2023 20:49

I think it works look beyond frumpy on pensioners and young folk alike

ForTheSnarkWasABoojumYouSee · 23/07/2023 20:54

I think it does look good on the model actually. But on anyone who isn't a model it will look like my DMIL.

I love my DMIL, and she looks amazing for eighty two, but she's not my style inspo.

LimeCheesecake · 23/07/2023 20:54

It looks practical and inoffensive- which is why it’s getting pensioner vibes. It would be fine if you style it well, but will you always style it well or will you throw it on over jeans and a jumper then zip it up because it’s raining and then look like someone’s Nan? Which is fine if you are happy to look like someone’s Nan.

im not a big fan of effort clothes, the ones that by themselves look a bit shit. There are lots of thin waterproof coats out there that would look better- you could go for something like this in a different colour and it would be better.

GetYourHandsOffMyCake · 23/07/2023 20:55

It's beige, bland and boring. I'm 64 and wouldn't wear it!

FitAt50 · 23/07/2023 20:55

Looks like the cheap one Liz wears in motherland.

I'm a pensioner who likes garden centres, I don't wear beige

bigTillyMint · 23/07/2023 20:59

Old lady

Jobalob · 23/07/2023 21:10

Not a fan I’m afraid. It’s defintely not remotely cool in any way at all

Eloweeese · 23/07/2023 21:16

It's an old lady anorak

TheYearOfSmallThings · 23/07/2023 21:20

Well I don't hate it, but then I have this which is similar.

So many ageist comments.

You should be more respectful- one day, god willing, you'll be a pensioner yourself.
