Yellow coat - yes or no?

[CoveredInCheese]

I’m looking for a new coat, and I really like bright shades - I’d rather freeze than buy something in navy or grey! I’ve seen this on the Debenhams website, which I think is really unusual and lovely:

Dream coat

However, I made the mistake of showing it to DP and he said over his dead body. He said he refuses to go out with Ruth Madoc and that, if I buy it, he will either hide it or “accidentally” spill red wine down it.

Who is right? And is it wrong that I’m already mentally listing items of his I could burn in retaliation?

Sorry I hate it and I like bright colours. Im not a fan of Julien McDonald.

I don’t mind a bright coat, but not loving the yellow.

It's very short for a coat, not much use if you're looking for warmth. I don't hate it but I wouldn't buy it. Yellow can be nice (lemon yellow) but this is a bit garish.

No, sorry, I really don’t like it. There is nothing nice about it and it’s not even a proper coat.

No

I also wear colour and don't like the coat. Canary yellow can be very nice though, but the coat shape, very boxy ... Hm, worn casually... I change my vote to "on the fence" actually. How would you use it?

Sorry, yellow coats always remind me of the little boy from IT

I thought you meant a COAT coat and was about to say yes; makes it far easier for you to be seen walking the dog in the dark or for mountain rescue to find you.

I’m not sure about bright yellow for that style of coat, sorry… but your OH is a dick for saying he’ll ruin it if you buy it. You probably wouldn’t wear it with that in the back of your head anyway.

I haven’t seen that. Is that better or worse than looking like I’m in Hi-De-Hi? 🤭

I adore colour and likewise, would never buy a grey or black coat.

I have two yellow coats. One is like a big duvet thing, goes down to my calves and has a huge hood. It's a gold yellow. Other is a vintage duffle in a more muted buttery colour and comes down to mid-thigh.

I wouldn't buy the one in your link as it's not a coat, wouldn't keep me warm and isn't my style BUT if you like it, buy it. I also wouldn't stand anybody else telling me what to wear or threatening to damage my clothes on purpose.

The yellow isn't a nice shade and there's something dated about the style. Nothing wrong with a yellow coat though.

This is a nicer shade if you can find something you like in it.

Your husband doesn't get to dictate what you wear (though is entitled to refuse go out in public with you wearing something he hates, and vice versa).

However that coat looks like a hi-vis vest for sometime directing traffic at roadworks. It's also100% polyester so won't even be very warm.

I like a jaunty 🤣 coat for miserable days, but that is an unpleasant colour and polyester to boot.

It's a jacket, not a coat. I have a beautiful yellow jacket so I'm not averse to yellow, but that style is a bit 25 years ago

That's beautiful, but six times the price of the original one shown so may be out of reach

Yes if you are a deep sea fisherman.

I have just bought a yellow cardigan. Lovely style and more of a lemony yellow. So I am certainly not adverse to the colour.
But it has struck me that it may be quite difficult to work with - there's not a lot of colours that go well with yellow.
Would the choice be restricting with what else you wear? What colours would you wear with it?

Team Husband. It's a no from me.

No from me too. But why not a dark red coat?

Not keen on colour or style. It's a very harsh shade of yellow.
However your "d"h should not be threatening to ruin any item of clothing you choose.

Was thinking exactly the same. It’s a coat of sadness

Jeez I’d buy it just to piss my husband off if he said he’d deliberately ruin something I liked just because it wasn’t his taste!

‘He said he refuses to go out with Ruth Madoc ‘

😆😆

Perhaps he’d like it more if you wore white hot pants with it? And walked round town waving saying hello hi de hi campers!

Mmm, it was just an example of the right shade
