O god I like something from per Una??!

[Namerchanger1]

Is this nice or is it horrible? I think it’s nice but given it’s from per una (where fashion goes to die) I worry I’ve had a knock to the head

Sorry what's wrong with per una?

M&S is a massive high street label, lots of people of all ages shop there.

If you like it, wear it.

I don't know about Bournemouth but I kove my slippers, they're so warm and comfy.

I like the sound of her!

Fabulous woman, dreadful outfits 😂

True. The last time I ordered a top there, I met a 72 year old woman wearing it a few weeks later so I felt really dowdy in it after that. (She was not a chic older lady.)

Well, I like people who are true to their style! It would be very boring if we were all the same.

I think it’s lovely! <checks pulse>

have you watched The Regime. Kate Winslet’s character, from an unspecified Eastern European country, goes though a phase of wearing folk outfits. Reminds me of that. In a good way.

Try it. I suspect I’d look terrible in it. But I think styled right it could look incredible.

I've now got Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as an earworm.

The colour wouldn't work for me but I like quilted jackets. My incredibly stylish 17yo was rocking a pair of per una flares the other day!

i agree.

I saw this similar one in Asda and it looked very pretty in real life (despite the model’s expression in the pics)

Love it! Completely my style (and I am pretty stylish ☺️)!

I think it's one of those trends you have to try on. I saw the Asda jacket above in the shop and thought it was awful, then saw it out in the wild and it looked amazing on the wearer

I like it. I was considering this one from River Island but it's out of stock in my size.

Good God! You’re joking! 72??!!!! Should she have even been out?

I don’t like it. What’s wrong with Per Una, though?

I don't like it at all, however if you like it then go for it. Ignore the label.

Agreed.
But it's a trendy brand dontcha know so the ageists on MN can't diss it while mocking anyone over the age of 35.

It's time MN did something about the fucking constant ageism on here, it's exhausting.

(I don't own anything from Per Una- the jacket is awful )

Quite. All 72 year old women should sit by the fire in a bobbly cardi and polyester slacks, weeping into their rice pudding. The very idea of them liking fashion!

How dare a 72 year old try to look nice? Oh the horror.

(Yes, that's sarcasmus).

I’m surprised they can sell it so cheaply.

When I clicked the link a ‘Best seller!’ note flashed up - so if you buy it, be prepared to see several other people wearing it in every room you step into. (Even in your own house!)

It is actually not the worst thing I’ve seen from Per Una (though I generally try to avert my eyes if I have to pass a display in a physical shop) but I suspect it will look fussy and dowdy, rather than coolly artisan, on most people. Do check the reviews though - they’re somewhat mixed.

@ASighMadeOfStone - yes, the ageism continues, unabated....

Cool Mumsnetters like to point and laugh. It's an ageist thing.

It’s not. It’s cos most of it is awful

I bought something similar from river island and I’ve worn it once
