Help! Need to find a jacket for my mum!

11 replies

My mum has mentioned that she'd like a jacket - my budget isn't huge, between about £40 and £75 - it needs to be short, fitted, pref with 3/4 sleeves and not a suit jacket. She likes neutral colours.

I'm sure there's a website that shows you loads of different styles (of whatever item of clothing it is you're looking for) from various shops... can anyone remember? It's urgent, I need to order for mother's day!!

Thanks

Would she consider a leather jacket? or trench style?

This also nice.

Or am I wide of the mark?

UnrequitedSkink · 09/03/2010 19:53

The trench style is probably the nearest... I was thinking of something like this but with shorter sleeves? I've looked at Debenhams, House of Fraser, Next, Very... running out of ideas now!

But thank you for responding!

What about this?

Over budget but nice

UnrequitedSkink · 09/03/2010 20:13

The ASOS cropped one is perfect - except it's only available in an 18 and up and she's about a 12-14. Love the FC one, but def over budget!

Ooh, actually - thanks for the ASOS suggesiton - really like this!

Or is it the kind of thing only the very skinny should attempt?

think you mean shopstyle

tethersend · 09/03/2010 20:21

Hmmm. How's this?

tethersend · 09/03/2010 20:22

Oooh, bargainous

tethersend · 09/03/2010 20:24

Oh, I like that Asos one, Unrequited. Not just for the super skinny at all- do you think she'll like it?

UnrequitedSkink · 09/03/2010 20:30

Yes - Shopstyle - that's what I was looking for! Ah well, bookmarked for next time.

Yes - she'd better like it, I've ordered it. She's pretty funky for a 55 year old...

Thanks for your help Tethersend, couldn't have done it without ya!
