DD says this isn’t fashionable for me

194 replies

Verbena17 · 02/01/2025 22:32

I keep going back to the Passenger website and really loving this warm cosy fleece.
However, DD (20+) says it’s camouflage and not fashionable at all.
I get Alaska/fat face outdoors dog walking type vibes from it and think it would be so lovely and warm instead of my old boring waterproof.

Now this isn’t waterproof clearly but on rainy days I’d wear my waterproof. But on fine days, I’d just wear this with my jeans.

Even my mum says she doesn’t like it.

Any other ideas for cosy fleece for dog walking if not this?
I thought it was really cool but I’m clearly past knowing what ‘really cool’ is anymore ….im under 48 and over 45 😂 and would probably need a 16 or 18, although reviews say it’s relaxed fit.

If you like it, wear it!

Bananasandchocolatecustard · 02/01/2025 22:37

I like it.

TomatoSandwiches · 02/01/2025 22:37

If you carry your weight up top then it could look bulky but if you want to buy it buy it, doesn't look overly unfashionable to me at all.

Verbena17 · 02/01/2025 22:38

But does anyone else like it?
It’s in the sale so maybe not 😂

I’m a total introvert and I like to not be noticed.
Ive never had a patterned fleece before. And DD mentioned it was akin to someone wearing a wolf fleece! 😬

TomatoSandwiches · 02/01/2025 22:38

Absolutely nothing like someone wearing a wolf fleece 😂

Verbena17 · 02/01/2025 22:39

I carry my weight on my tummy and mostly thighs and bum.
My mum always says chunky clothes make me look bigger (rude lady!) but perhaps she’s right.

Ooh it's nice!! I love it. Get your jacket and enjoy wearing it. Walking should be about being comfy in clothes that you love not a chuffing catwalk 😀

Theunamedcat · 02/01/2025 22:41

I saw someone in a terribly unflattering jacket today all I was thinking was she looks so WARM! (Can you tell it's gone suddenly cold here?)

batshitaboutcatshit · 02/01/2025 22:42

I like it and might buy it actually

Newhi · 02/01/2025 22:42

I agree with your daughter that it’s not fashionable. But, you say you want to be cosy and warm, and wear something a bit different, so if that is more important than being in fashion, I would go for it.

I meant to say no absolutely not like a wolf fleece

It's up to you if you care about that or not, it looks cosy to me.

mdinbc · 02/01/2025 22:43

I like it. I don't understand what the reference to wolf fleece is. Please someone explain.

Stichintime · 02/01/2025 22:43

Think it's hideous and no where near fashionable, but if you like it, get it.

PixelatedLunchbox · 02/01/2025 22:44

I dress like a slob most of the time but I think that is really fugly Confused

PixelatedLunchbox · 02/01/2025 22:45

Correction. I'd wear it camping. In the woods. Looks toasty Grin

Ok, so this is the sort of honesty I was wanting! 😉

If my mum had taken fashion advice from me at that age, she'd have been in a ra ra skirt with a massive perm.
If you like it buy it. It may or may not be the height of fashion (I wouldn't know) but it's not "out there' and you won't have passers by staring at you.

BrightSnail · 02/01/2025 22:48

Oh I really like that in the green.

Verbena17 · 02/01/2025 22:49

Ok, so now I’m completely torn.
Can anyone recommend a toasty fleece that is more acceptable/heading towards being fashionable.

Im making it sound like i usually like to look fashionable but I really don’t,
I live in jeans and a mum top everything single day 😂

Twoshoesnewshoes · 02/01/2025 22:49

I like the style but think the camouflage effect is awful tbh

Beamur · 02/01/2025 22:50

Passenger is a certain vibe. My DD age 17 likes their stuff.

Bearybasket · 02/01/2025 22:52

I like it!
Passenger’s retro outdoorsy thing is quite in right now although that’s perhaps not quite on that trend
If you like it tho who cares either way, especially if it’s for walking the dog!
