I thought this looked lovely for a Spring coat but my very conservative son told me not to be ridiculous. I'm still tempted. Would you wear something so loud?
It’s not for me, as the patterned squares are quite large and the coat looks long, so it would swamp me.
If you like it, though, and can carry such a bold coat, then go for it. It certainly looks cheerful and definitely a change from the usual black, grey and dark browns.
Buy it, I would nor listen to your son. I like it, but like a poster said upthread, I personally think you need to be tall to wear it, and make sure it does not swamp you. Lovely coat though.
Beautiful coat, but I am too short to wear something with such a big pattern. I love the bright colours; why are coats so dull? I was out to lunch last week and watched people walking past the restaurant windows, they were nearly all wearing black ( and not even a nice crisp black) long padded coats, all so very dull. Why not a nice bright red, or purple?
Well done, you, kirkubbin2000. Now wear it whenever you want and where you want - don’t be dictated by anyone as to when you wear it, and that includes your son 😊
Good move - kircubbin! I have a not too dissimilar jacket from Joe Brown which I love. I am happy whenever I wear it, and it has been admired often. I have a plain navy coat that is good, but nowhere near so much fun.
If you love it wear it . I love bright colours I’m too short to carry that gorgeous coat off but if you can go for it. When people say things to me I respond by saying I will be a long time dead and can’t wear it then. This usually stops them talking.
