Would you wear this?

I would be very unlikely to see anyone wearing a coat like that in my neck of the woods maddyone. I understand people liking colour, but the number who like that coat has astonished me.

There was a lovely Boden one like this kircubbin2000 - how old is your son I wonder that he is embarrassedby a coat?

I think it's fabulous 👌

No I wouldn’t wear it. I think it’s horrid.

Hear, hear maddyone, it's very showy -offy & look at me! Yet I do know a few people who would wear it & they too are very showy offy & at me!
Pretentious is the word for it, horribly thing. 🥳

Ohh l meant 'Look at me'
So cold I can't spell today. 🤭

It certainly did the woman photographed in it no favours.

Gwyllt I do hope you've taken your glorious coat out!

Leave "Mr Grumpy" behind if he won't be seen with you!

I suspect that some of you here would think my new glasses are "horrid".!
I don't care. They cheer me up

Despite my thinking the coat is horrible, and absolutely never seeing anyone wearing anything remotely like it, I do think people should wear whatever they want to. So eddiecat if I disliked your glasses and you were wearing them and I met you, I wouldn’t be rude enough to comment on them, and if asked I’d say they were nice because sometimes a white lie is preferable to the truth.
However this is an open forum and posters views were asked for, and so I gave my honest opinion. This is a place when we can give an honest opinion without causing upset.

ooh, are they like Dame Edna's?

I’ve it but, like others, I’m too short …

I would wear it as it's beautiful. I wear a coat that could be considered outrages, but get lots of lovely comments from all sorts of age groups so I keep wearing it.

Only listen to your heart, not other people especially your son. I bet he would not like it if you commented on his conservative (boring) clothes.
Wear what pleases you, because you are the only one that matters.

yes i'd wear it - often. i love the colours. too many times the only offering is black, navy or brown.
i feel that we need to wear colour in the winter to cheer us up.
ignore your son and wear the coat with pride.

Horribly thing.. sounds very Donald Trump

No. I don’t like all those colours together.

Buy it if you love it. I think it looks great! What’s it for to do with your son what you wear? He sounds as if his outlook is older than you ! Wear whatever your like whatever your age I say!

I love it! If now you have it you do too, then wear it and enjoy

I do like colour, but, as I said, not those all together. I don’t actually think it looks all that comfortable to wear. It strikes me as being a bit cumbersome.

I love it and would definitely wear it. It's a very, very, long way to Whitstable though. What make is it? maybe I could find it somewhere nearer.

You like it? GET IT! Wear it! He’s young and easily embarrassed; you’re beyond that twaddle. Tell him you’re being your Authentic Self. It’s not that “big yikes” (massively embarrassing) He’s being “boujee” (superior). 😆😆 Gen Z Speak

OldEnough2 if you read the thread the OP has already bought it

Where did you get it kircubbin2000?
She says she got it in a small boutique in Madrid 🤔

Sorry but I wouldn’t wear it either.

No. It's the sort of coat (whoever wears it) that brings to mind someone who has multiple piercings and tatts plus multi coloured hair.

Note to Pascal30, I've just read my
stupid outpourings regarding the
" horribly thing coat" my only excuse was that I was flustered by an argument with horribly thing husband. 😁

I thought it was funny Ilovedogs.. didn't agree with you about the coat though.. hope all's well now.

I'm only 5ft so the pattern would overwhelm me. If you can carry it then why not. They're gorgeous colours. I can imagine a tall person wearing it with some chunky ankle boots
