Blakely hoodies

[teaandtoastwithmarmite]

Are these any good? I’m 43 and like the look of them. Can anyone recommend please

Absolutely - I have about 10 in various styles. Great quality, super comfy, look great!

Yes, have one, super soft and comfy. I got the Isabel, it's very oversize though, I'd probably have gone with a smaller size if I knew.

Thank you. And I’m not too old lol?

If you are, I am also 😂 But no, I wouldn’t say so at all.

Thank you @Bobsy123. That made me laugh. Sorry if I offended lol

I know of two people mid fifties who have one. If you want one get it

Absolutely not! Hope you find yourself the proud owner of a lovely new hoody soon!

Yes dh got me one for my birthday with matching leggings. It's really good quality, washes really well and the leggings are great as well really thick but so soft. My 15 and 20 year old both asked for one for Xmas when they seen mine.

I'm 40 this year so you aren't too old.

Well I'm older than you, so I wouldn't worry.

Wowsers that's a big logo!

I've never seen these before...I think I might do some early morning shopping now though😄

My DH said they’re a bit chavtastic but DD thinks they’re really nice. 😅

Does anyone else think that?

I instantly think tacky trying to be 17 when I see these. I’m sorry but they belong in teenagers.

I didn’t want to say CHAV so went for tacky but as your DH used it . These scream CHAV.

The teenagers wear white fox. My dd said she has seen a grown woman wearing one. I’m wondering whether one of these or an All Saints one

Yup

Maybe instead of the comments you could suggest a type that isn’t chavvy then 🙄

@teaandtoastwithmarmite I’m sorry if I was rude. I am. I think maybe just get a hoodie without a brand . As I think it’s the logos which make things looks cheap or designed for teenagers.
I am not saying buy a cashmere hoodie ( which I would because I am 30 going on 70!) but maybe just a hoodie with out any writing on..

@Pinkflowerpower thank you. I appreciate you coming back and apologising and explaining. Funny really as I was admiring one like this (cheaper and not cashmere) in m and s the other day! I think the Blakely, all saints type just look so warm. I have one from a festival and it’s like wearing a warm hug.

@Pinkflowerpower That Poetry one is lovely. Am tempted.

I do know what you mean that the big hoodies are warm and cosy especially in this weather!
I think M&S have great options.
I really like this one but again doesn’t need to be this expensive .

I am really sorry I was rude. All the best x

It’s ok. I appreciate we all have different tastes. That one I’m not keen on as it looks a bit drapey but thank you and thanks again for your apology. All the best to you too x

I'm not a big fan of the Blakely jumpers, it's mostly younger people who seem to wear them
round here and I'd feel a bit old (43) in one. That said I do love a hoodie. Do you have a link for the AllSaints one?
