Would you wear this?

Not For Me.

Beautiful coat but I wouldn’t wear it, I like to fade into the background not stand out. (Says more about me than the coat).

You wear it if you'd like to. I wouldn't though. It's all round too much form me. I'd prefer either quieter colours or smaller checks. It looks vaguely clownish. Sorry.

That coat reminds me of being taken to the circus as a child. One of the stars, a clown wore a similar coat. So it's a no from me.

I love it - but the flippy floppy sleeves would be a darned nuisance.

Good for you. My daughter would have loved it!
Reminds me of Elmer.

Yes... It's right up my street.

Wear what you want and ignore everybody else. Much better than boring black.

Yes! Enjoy wearing it.

Love it!! I would wear it,I'm tall, look lovely with jeans, and very cheerful.

I got it. He made me change into the black one to go out!

"He made you" Why did you change out of it? He sounds so so miserable, tell him to loosen up. Is he old before his time?

It’s lovely, I’m too short to wear it, but I have a similar scarf and orange mohair coat!

I think it's great and glad you bought it. The next time you're going out with your son, tell him in advance that you'll be wearing it and if he doesn't like it, you'll go out on your own.

Where did you buy it kirkcubbin? It looks so toasty and I love a warm coat.

I love bright colours and I'm sooo fed up with my boring but useful black coat.
But I'm also quite stingy and would work out how much it might cost me per wearing. I would wear that coat if I thought it would earn its keep.

If I was a 6’ tall extrovert I would , as long as it was autumn colours and not spring.

I would love to wear it but I'm not sure whether I'd have the courage. In my 20s during the hippy era, I wore a lot of weird stuff and yes, I know we should wear whatever the heck we like (please don't quote that damnable purple & orange poem at me or I'll vomit) but, in 2025 in my 70s, I'd need a deal more chutzpah and a lot less avoir dupois than I have left now.

That coat would wear me! (I’m 5’3”).

Good for you having bought it - despite conservative son

No.
I am 5'2" and would be swamped.
If you like it, go for it.

I’ve got the height to wear it, and I’ve never been shy, but all the same I don’t think I’d like to be quite as conspicuous as that!

It looks like something Zandra Rhodes would wear.

No never!

I love it, utterly fabulous!

Not for me, I’m too short, but glad you bought it. Don’t let your son stop you wearing it.

No. Not even if you paid me.
