If you were at a wedding and another guest was wearing this

Would you think their proper outfit had met with a nasty accident and they had no choice but to borrow this from a large man and try to style it out?!

Damn I'm old ShockHmm

Maybe if it was fitted and you were fully committed to embracing the retro!

I think the oversized trend has gotten abit carried away with itself TBH. Its great for some stuff like t-shirts, jumpers but really, not everything!

That image.. stirs a memory..

I remember...
A date, when I was very fresh and new.
It rained upon the sea front..
The man's jacket I borrowed..
Kept me warm and pushed me toward love.
Or perhaps it was the chips and fish..

One of Britney's wedding (to Sam Asghari) outfits was a blazer!

So yeah probably fine if you're Britney, but otherwise it's a no from me!

Back to the op I recall an actress wearing just a big blazer type jacket at an occasion years ago!

My mind is saying it's Julia Roberts or Shania Twain or JLo, I just can't remember who it was!

Or was it Celina Dion?

80s or 90s I think? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm pretty sure it was a young Julia Roberts and she had (very) short shorts underneath it. Not her best look.

Celine Dion did a back to front Tux

Looks awful on that model too.

Donald where's your trewsers?

Donald where's your trewsers?

The trewsers are at another wedding, being worn with nipple tassels and 'statement braces'.

If they were extremely confident, I would assume it was trendy and I’m just old. You’d need to be exceptionally confident though!

@CulturalNomad

Yes!

My God if I had her legs I'd wear that too, lol!

She wore a lot of oversized blazers with baggy trousers. Looking back, she wasn't one to bare a lot of skin.

Somewhere, in a lay-by outside a seaside town, a coach driver is wondering where he left his jacket.

Chemistrychic · 14/04/2024 20:54

I would assume she'd forgotten her pants but I am almost middle aged!

DistinguishedSocialCommentator · 14/04/2024 21:02

Depends on whos wedding it is, lol

That's not a dress. Its more of a dress-less

BarrelOfOtters · 14/04/2024 08:50

I the guest looked like her it might look fab. On me it would like I’d forgotten my trouses and needed taking back to the care home.

🤣🤣🤣

Shetlands · 14/04/2024 21:06

Erdem have two oversized jackets like this - really ugly IMO and there's a Guardian article with an actress styled in one of them. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/apr/14/i-did-all-the-things-an-actor-shouldnt-bridgertons-claudie-jessie-on-class-big-breaks-and-houseboats

HummingbirdChandelier · 14/04/2024 21:08

It’s the fashion. Looks fab on the youngsters.

not nearly skimpy enough for a wedding in Scotland though 😊

newtlover · 14/04/2024 21:10

I like that at the bottom of the scree shot it says 'complete the look'
maybe thats where the trousers are

1daughterand3sons · 14/04/2024 21:12

If it was the last wedding I attended she would have fit in perfectly everyone was in strange outfits including the bride herself I thought I'd walked into the wrong wedding. Me and my family stood out like sore thumbs we where dressed normally.

If it was any of the other wedding I've attended I'd be looking at her strangely wondering what happened to the rest of her outfit.

soupfiend · 14/04/2024 21:14

There was a episode of Open all Hours that was a bit like that.

somebeesarebastards · 14/04/2024 21:16

Never makes a wrong move in my opinion.

Thank god it's not just me, I was looking for ideas for DD (24) who is stuck on what to wear to a summer wedding, and thought I'd better look somewhere younger than John Lewis etc to avoid the eye-rolling!

Katielovesteatime · 03/10/2024 14:57

I think it's cool. But probably not for a wedding...
