What to wear with this jacket?

I've bought this jacket but I feel like it's wearing me. Looks fairly casual on the models but I feel a bit self conscious in it. Anyone able to suggest casual outfits to go with this jacket? I tried it on with skinny jeans and loafers and I didn't feel comfortable. If it's relevant, I'm in mid early 40s, I'm a size 14 and an hourglass. Happy to wear flats but don't wear trainers. Thanks

I think it's fab, i would wear it with skinny jeans and boots on an evening out. A tshirt or camisole inside it.
It might be nice over a summery floral knee length dress with sandals or ankle boots on a warmer day.

How about with wide leg trousers?

Thanks all. Very different ideas to what had, which is helpful. I agree @TequilaSunsets that wide leg trousers would make it look less prissy. I haven't worn wide leg for years but will give then a go.

@Goddessonahighway There are lots of them around at the moment - I think finding the right pair takes a bit of trial and error as it's a question of where the waist sits, how heavy the fabric is and how it drapes/falls. I do rate Oliver Bonas for trousers, though.

Either wide legged trousers or a full skirt would work.I see on the web they've also paired it with a tulle skirt.

On the website styled with jeans my eyes are drawn to the very dark, sprayed on skinny jeans -which, sorry those who like them, is a very uninteresting look- the jacket becomes an afterthought.

Wide legged trousers or a full skirt would work with the jacket, not detract from it.

I'd wear that with wide leg trousers or wide leg jeans, or a full skirt. And flats, either boots or loafers or pumps. I'd do trainers, but I see OP doesn't.
