Does this coat look too big?

Just that really. Bought on Vinted and it is bigger than my usual size, but really liked it so thought I’d give it a try.
DD says it looks fine, DP says it looks too big. What say you?

It’s hard to tell if it’s too big on your shoulders but the sleeves are too long

DaisyMayBojangles · 22/01/2026 17:31

Yes they are a bit.. hmm.

Too big

Disturbia81 · 22/01/2026 17:52

It is a little big but I think you can get away with it, it’s nice when arms are a bit oversized especially in this cold!

DaisyMayBojangles · 22/01/2026 18:27

Thanks @Disturbia81.. the coat is actually Disturbia funnily enough!

Too big unless you are going for an oversized look.

FadedRed · 22/01/2026 18:31

You can get away with a bit bit with a ‘fur’ coat. If the sleeves are lined you can take up the length by sewing up an inch or so of the lining, iyswim.

SlothSpiritAnimal · 22/01/2026 18:32

I think it has an oversized look, which seems to be fashionable right now. It doesn’t swamp you and I think it looks good on you. If you’re happy with it, then absolutely wear it.
if you not sure can you find a size down on Vinted and compare, then sell the one you don’t want?

EchoedSilence · 22/01/2026 18:32

I don't think it matters with that type of coat. The sleeves look a bit long but that wouldn't bother me.

Ahh I knew there was a reason I liked it 🖤

BarbaraKirksKaftan · 22/01/2026 18:40

I like the coat but I like jackets oversized. I really like your lamp.

IsThisAkissingBook · 22/01/2026 18:41

I have this coat and like with all disturbia coats it's a case of always size down at least once.

Cotswoldmama · 22/01/2026 18:44

I would say too big. But would look better with something slim fitting underneath or a short skirt with tights. I think the loosened of the skirt somehow makes it look bigger.

GoldDuster · 22/01/2026 18:45

Sleeves are a bit long, can you get someone local to take them up? You'll get away with it elsewhere.

Sesquipedahlia · 22/01/2026 18:47

I would wear it like that, but I like things oversized.

Should be easy enough to have the sleeves shortened if you’d prefer.

DaisyMayBojangles · 22/01/2026 19:05

Thanks all. Unfortunately haven’t been able to find it on n a smaller size. It’s a 14 and I’m a 10 so knew it would be on the big side, but thought with a few layers underneath it might work.
I’ll think about it and maybe sell it on. It’s new with the tag on.

I’m not sure you’re comprehending the responses here!

It doesn’t appear ridiculously oversized - and even if it did, that’s a fashionable look right now. Only the sleeves need shortening if you’d want it to look more fitted. So find your best local alterations service and take it to them.

And I agree, a shorter, or more fitted skirt might make a more intentional statement.

Furlane · 22/01/2026 19:25

I think it looks a good size on you.

DaisyMayBojangles · 22/01/2026 20:00

I am comprehending the responses!
i like things oversized too tbh, and will take the sleeve length comments on board 👍

DaisyMayBojangles · 23/01/2026 08:04

Ooh very oversized! Maybe i’ll keep it.
It’s such a cool colour and feels lovely.. plus it was only 30 quid!

The sleeves are far too long and are giving gorilla vibes.

herbalteabag · 23/01/2026 08:11

I think it looks fine apart from the sleeves which are a little long. But sleeves are always long on me - if I worried too much about that I wouldn't have any jumpers or coats! Like pp say, you can alter them if you want.

Londontown12 · 23/01/2026 08:55

It's a vibe keep it !! There supposed to be oversized it's looks cool 😎

Idontthinkicandothisanymore · 23/01/2026 08:59

It looks lovely. I’d keep it
