Opinions on this Broderie anglaise jacket?

[Greenthingslover]

Just that.

Yey or Nay?

Oooh sorry another nay.

Looks like it belongs in an add in My Weekly.
Also available in peach and pale lemon ....
😝

As pp said I don't like the clash of styles.

I don’t like it either and I agree it looks very “catalogue”

No it's a utilitarian jacket trying to look pretty.

No. I love the colour, but even ungathered, the drawstring is there and it ruins the line. It would be fab if it had no drawstring, a bit boxier and a tad shorter. This one can't make its mind up.

I associate Broderie with summer and a shocker with autumn so it would be a no from me but if you like it and it suits you buy it.

Nay.

It’s lovely apart from the tie around the waist

Definitely a nay.

I don’t like it. It’s a blouse at the bottom and a jacket at the top.

I don’t like the colour and thirdly it looks like something from a sale rail in a supermarket .

I think it’s lovely but it is a summer jacket and therefore short lived wear. I’ve got a couple of khaki jackets from New Look and TopShop that serve me throughout the year. I love broderie
and have several tops and shorts but it’s definitely limited to warmer months.

It loks vert flimsy, like a shirt.

A heavier material would be better

Agree that it's trying to be two different garments at once. And failing.

I love broiderie anglaise and I love a utility jacket or shacket, but this is the worst of both. It's really not.good, the catalogue in the Sunday papers is exactly the right home for it.

If Monty Don wore lace.

I love broderie anglaise but not that jacket. It's trying to be utility and feminine at the same time - the kind of 'let's appeal to everyone' (ie no one) that M&S used to be so guilty of with Per Una.

Another nay from me.

I adore Broderie anglaise and have lots of pieces from shorts to blouses but I’m afraid this is too much How about a linen shirt worn like a jacket
Again I love linen and do this.

If it was only going to be worn with jeans, I could make it work. I'd leave the waist loose, add some embroidered flowers to the front pockets and edge the collar in lace.

In reality though, I'd save myself the effort and just wear something I already have that I like better.

I don't like it as it is though, it's one thing on top and another at the bottom. It's currently screaming "clothes for people who bypass any form of style or fashion".

I’ve got this one from H & M, it comes in cream and taupe too, looks great on and no tie waist

It could be okay with jeans, white T-shirt and brown sandals or a white sundress but not sure that it would go with much else.

Nay, nay and thrice nay.

I bought this exact one from H&M when it came out few months ago but returned it as it felt like a shirt, not jacket.

I love this!!

I agree that it's a weird clash of styles.

The fussy broderie is too .uch it screams I wear jackets from Damart even though the lacey stuff can look nice on feminine knitwear and I have a fair bit it doesn't work on utility in those colours. And the gathered waist is a big fat no.

Nah
