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

Stepping around the wannabe comedians, I like the photo but I suspect I'd be sorely disappointed if I saw it in real life.

A dressing up box is a wonderful thing.

Have a look on Etsy

Also ignore the boring dress the same people! If you like it, wear it. I don't mind if people cba with styles ( kind of cool in itself) but people judging others and copying each other is so boring!

I saw this in store yesterday, caught my eye too. There were a couple of people looking at them and few sizes left. If you like it, who cares where it’s from. Try it on and see.

This is a really weird post.

If I wore that jacket it would of course function as a jacket. But it wouldn't be as flattering on me as another jacket, and I also don't particularly like it, so I wouldn't buy it.

This is the style and beauty section, it's not surprising that people are judging the jacket based on how it looks. Part of that is how it looks on our various bodies.

You've said yourself that you don't find it interesting, so you're obviously familiar with the concept of judging clothes based on their appearance.

Stop the world I want to get off 😂😂😂

I have something quite similar from Monsoon although it’s not padded and the ground colour is black. I’m five foot nothing and I wear it with
jeans and a plain coloured top. I’ve had compliments!

I don't find the jacket interesting. That has nothing to do with the configuration of my body parts or its relation to the configuration of my body parts or anyone else's body parts.

"Flattering" is irrelevant. It's not, for me, going to be made any more interesting by the shape of the person wearing it.

That's your opinion, and that's great.

Mine is that I'm more important than my clothes, and I like clothes that make me look my best.

Neither are unusual viewpoints.

I think its really cute.....def a statement piece!

(whats wrong with per una though? I thought they were just a basic fashion range).
Now if you had said Bon Marche I would of said no without even looking!!LOL😂

I’m wearing my lovely furry slippers as I read this 😂

I absolutely love Per Una. I’m not 72. Nor am I an ultra-cool 17 year old.
I’ve only ever had one piece from new due to lack of funds. Mum bought it for me and I wore it to death and loved it!
However, I am a pretty avid charity shop lurker. I can spot Per Una a mile away. I always think it has a slightly off quirkiness that really appeals to me. I always know I’ll be happy with it and it’ll be top-quality.

Anyone above the age of 50 shouldn't be out and about! They should be locked up in a cupboard.

It's nice. I love 90s Per Una and bollock myself every time I admire a piece in a charity shop!

Per Una ? My goodness what ARE you thinking ? I mean surely one only visits Marks for party food and the odd meal deal these days ?

Seriously though. If you like it and it suits you buy and wear it. I hadn't realised Per Una had gone beyond the pale...you could always sew a more desirable label into it I suppose

What's the joke about Per Una? I have never shopped there but hiw is it any different to Next and M&S? Or Boden or Fatface or SeaSalt?
Sorry I was born in London and don't really understand ???

I like it.

I saw it in store and it looked lovely. I didn't check for comedy buttons or unexpected elasticated bits though.

I’m 33 and I definitely have had Per Una items for the last 10 years!

I don’t think it’s where fashion goes to die at all. I really like it, I can see it going ‘viral’ x

stuff I bought from hippy shops decades ago - If you fancy revisiting your wild past, @IHaveNeverLivedintheCastle, there's a shedload of Indigo Moon on Ebay at the moment 😊

Not likely! I don’t want to be fodder for comments like this:

I saw a lady trying it on in store yesterday! She was tiny, very very old, and it looked awful on her.

Words fail me.

Reminds me of a nutcracker soldier

I think what you're really saying OP is that you like it, but you're worried the fashion police will lock you up for crimes against fashion. That's sad - have the courage of your convictions (pun intended) and if you like it, it fits and suits you and you think you'll wear it then just bloody buy it!

You do know Moldavia is a made up country from Dynasty or were you being ironic?

It looks like a cloth kits jacket. Not necessarily a bad thing, as I suppose 70s style is in at the moment

Sorry I forgot to say have just had a city break in Amsterdam and saw a few of these worn. I think they are in fashion, so if anything you will be "on trend".
