Yes or no to this jacket

[Sandynandy]

Oliver Bonas. Very cosy. I was looking for something like this - beautiful t ideally in navy! Bought this on impulse (unlike me) and now thinking it might be a bit too pub barmaid from the 80s.

I’m not a fan of animal print so wouldn’t wear it but I don’t think this is garish or tacky looking at all so can’t see how you would look like a retro barmaid!

if it’s cosy and you love it then wear it!

The point is I’m not sure if I love it or not!

Oh I see - can you still take it back?

I probably would return it if you’re not sure unless you got it on sale. If I keep things I’m not 100% sure of they always end up sitting unloved in the cupboard

i’m sure someone clever on here can find you the same style in the colour you like!

If you don’t love it, return it.

I saw this in store a few days ago. I was with a friend whose taste is generally very different to mine, but we both liked it.

It’s not very Bet Lynch, but return it if you don’t love it.

Well I loike it à la Louis Walsh 😂

I had similar in navy

I didn’t get many wears out of it before deciding I wasn’t comfortable with leopard print. I don’t know why. It went to the charity shop.

It was a really good fabric, that I Technical fabric that would keep you warm or cool… but I just didn’t like it. It was a bit adventurous when I bought it.

No.

I really like the shape of it - although only one photo of course! It looks like the kind of jacket that should be reversible though!

maybe start a thread asking people if they’ve found something similar elsewhere

I love leopard but I prefer jackets that cover my bottom or it gets cold. Am I the only one with a cold bottom?

Saw this in Oliver Bonas at the weekend and absolute loved it so a ‘yes’ from me.

Thank you… still undecided!

I think it depends how it looks on you! I'm a middle-aged blonde and animal prints make me look like Bet Lynch, which is not a look I'm aiming for. If you have a very different look though, it could look great. It looks great on the model, for instance.

I wouldn't like it for me. Something about animal print plus a fleece(?) texture just reminds me of the 90s in a bad way... but the model clearly looks great of course.

I think if you aren't 100% about an animal print item, you won't wear it. Maybe that's just me though

hmmm…. I am also a middle aged blonde 🤣
