Found this mango jacket /coat on vinted for £5 new with tags
Absolutely love it
Tried it on and fits like a dream
Great quality
A few friends have said it's too bright for autumn /winter
I obviously wouldn't wear it when it's freezing /raining etc
Just a cold day with a nice chunky scarf
Jumper under etc
It's a bright pink /red colour

Or do you think it's too bright ?

Love 👍🏼😀 I will be wearing my orangey red velvet coat on my upcoming London afternoon tea trip. Colour is good

I've been looking for a bright red raincoat - imo it's the perfect colour for winter. Wear and enjoy!

It's fabulous.
I wish black/grey/dark coats were banned so pedestrians can be seen at night - which let's face it, is three quarters of the winter!

Tantivey!

It’s fabulous.

What do your friends think will happen? The police will pull you over and bundle you in the back of their van? Small children will run away from you screaming? A plague of locusts will descend on you every time you wear it?

I have a bright blue coat, a real cornflower blue. I get so many compliments on it and it cheers me up when the skies are grey. Wear the coat! It's lovely.

I love it.

I like it! Red is a standard winter coat colour. I though it was going to be mint green or something (which would also be nice).

My posh winter coat is that colour, today I wore my magenta raincoat. I don't like the black and grey trend in winter

It's perfect for autumn/winter! Not sure what your friends mean?!
You'd be boiling wearing that in summer 😂

I had no idea people thought there were rules about what colours you could wear in certain seasons. Fabrics fair enough, from a practical point of view, but not colours.

Why on earth would it be too bright??

This is what I remembered, this site below seems to be american but when the coat was on this board before it was a UK company but I cant remember which. People were taking the mickey out of it but I admit I was sort of drawn to it!!!

I love the coat, but I’d pass on the trousers …

Whatabouterry · 18/10/2024 21:11

I have a winter coat in that colour. I always get compliments on the colour when I wear it. It’s woollen so I’ve never considered it being anything other than a winter coat.
