This French connection jaquard jacket keeps popping on my FB nonstop.
I thought its floral pattern but upon closing in it is not floral pattern at all.
Do you like it or does feel too smart suite / office style? - it's not a typical denim jacket but a cropped boxy style jacket with a zip.
I'm into a casual style with trainers and jeans, i never wear smart clothing as have no occasions.

I like it OP but agree its a casual jacket rather than smart.

It looks like it has significant amounts of bird poo on it

Oh come on! You know it’s a not truth at all. Not need to be nasty.

It really doesn't. If you don't like it, fair enough but there's no need to say something completely not the case.

Julycomingg · 30/06/2025 06:17

It looks a bit darker than in the website and the material is thick patterned jaquard style, i wouldn't have call it denim jacket at all.

Definitely casual, not smart.

I quite like it.

A jacket like this is Marmite

if you keep it, I think you have to LOVE it, otherwise it’s going to languish in back of your wardrobe op

NoelFaraday · 30/06/2025 08:43

It’s in the ‘trendy Nan’ style so no I wouldn’t keep it.

xhines · 30/06/2025 08:53

I wouldn’t keep it as I despise an unconcealed zip on anything, but if you like it, enjoy 😊

I literally had to look up what trendy Nan jacket means?
It didn’t come up with anything particular, all I could see was all current jackets in available in shops.
The model on the Fcuk website definitely is not a granny either?

It's a disparaging, ageist, made-up MN term. It should be ignored.

Mum jeans
train spotter anorak
Dad dancing

Are these also terms that are so derogatory that should never be used?

Up to you. If you want to use lazy, hackeneyed, unimaginative stereotypes to describe something go ahead.

Sorry but that is absolutely awful. It's dreary, fusty, nylon "mother of the bride" in cheap looking polyester

was this not you @IHaveAlwaysLivedintheCastle a couple of days ago 😊

It was - your point being? "Mother of the bride" is a marketing style used by companies for a very particular style of dress.

Mum jeans,train spotter anorak , Dad dancing are generic insults.

What is absolutely awful? The OPs denim jacket?
Ooooo how wrong you are, that FCuK pattern is actually Jacquard pattern and it was no1 selling print this year ..they made a whole collection of it.

@Hordingshopaholic calm down. Another poster has copied and posted a comment I posted about a 'mother of the bride" dress from another thread because I was objecting to the "trendy nan" nonsense on this thread.

The OP's jacket is exactly what you say it is.
