Please help - should i buy or shouldnt i?

DeiseLass

Hi Guys! - just need some advice really - cant decide fully about this womans jacket. Its kinda similiar to a firetrap one i have been looking at but this one is a little cheaper . Any opinions would be great. Thanks

Endurance Man

Looks pretty funky.

DeiseLass

Yeah thats what i thought initally but then a co-worker kinda put me off a bit so really wanted a second opinion. Thanx for that......Keep the opinions coming

i think it would really depend on what you're wearing it with. If you're not going for all out funkiness, just be sure the rest of the outfit is fairly conservative. If it's very expensive, i don't think i'd buy it. simply because things like that aren't something you're going getalot of wear from... more of a trendy accessory than a wardrobe staple. but if the price is right and you like it, go for it.

Honestly, it looks pretty skanky to me.In the flecky tracksuit kind of league.

I'd be surprised if something similar isn't sold for about 50euro in Unique for women (If there is such a place)

Karoma

It does look rather skanky. But,hey! If you're Polish you could pull it off.

DeiseLass

Thanks for that, no "skanky" isnt the look that i want to be going for. Its just one of those things that i couldnt make my mind up about.

Heyes

To be honest i think that jacket could look pretty cool. It could look good with a well fitted pair of jeans, a simple white t underneath. It would have to be pretty simple and not bulky, cause i think the jacket it suppose to be kinda fitted and imo would look better if it was. It also really depends on the style you normally go for, if you could jazz it up to look smart with jeans, boots and little t, it would look very well, however i dont like the look when people wear something like that with big hoops hanging out of there ears and baggy trousers.

DeiseLass

No definitely wasnt planning on going for the hoopy earrings and the *BLING* kinda look, was thinking more along the lines of fitted jeans and tshirt as you said.
Thought it was kinda different so thats why it caught my eye.

Heyes

I would 100% go with that look so, it would defo look good.. go on ya know ya wana buy it

Endurance Man

Deise, if you always took other people's advice on what to wear you would like like everyone else, as most people do in dublin...its a funky jacket, if thats what you're going for buy it . I reckon with a pair of jeans it would look cool.
If is see something *I* like i buy it, screw what these folk around me think, i get funny looks all the time because im not wearing Nike/Addidas/Reebok and the list goes on, but who gives a ****e.

Any "look" associated with that type of jacket has been done to death in Dublin- fitted blue jeans & t-shirt, to baggy and hoopy.

I know, i think i am trying to talk myself out of it - really dont know why im bothered what everyone else thinks about it - really need to cop on

So? Are we all supposed to keep up with dublin trends? Fashion is an individual thing if you ask me, screw what the rest are doing.

Taking your advice, she would be keeping up with Dublin trends.

Depends on who's wearing it too, height, weight, face, hair etc. Could look really good on some girl and terrible on another.

It's wigger wear. I'd avoid it myself if i was a chick.

fuzzywiggle

Yeah I like it. Go for it!!

Siogfinsceal

I really like that. Would not have considered it skangerish at all.

FX Meister

It's Rocawear. Only knackers and wanabe knackers wear rocawear. FACT

DeiseGal

well to be honest, i think a lot of women would agree that victoria beckham has a great sense of style and has endorsed the rocawear brand so it cant be all bad. FACT!
But hey, thanks for that anyway!

Victoria Beckham is a chav with too much cash, not a stlye icon.

If you want to wear this kind of tat TK Maxx is full of it. You'll have to fight your way past the Eastern Europeans buying the Gold Lamé trousers with "D&G" emblazoned down the leg in 6 inch letters though....

DeiseGal

I personally wouldnt put mrs beckham in the chav category, the other footballers wives deserve that title granted but she is definitely miles ahead of them and many others in the style stakes.
Each to there own

David & Victoria Beckham

Aah Posh and Becks, the quintessential celebrity chavs! David has that whole wigga thing going on and can barely string a legible sentence together. Victoria is a fashion cloths horse, giving the average chavette an idea of what snide designer wear to buy at the market! Look up the term 'media whores' in the dictionary and you'll see their picture. The godheads of Chav culture!
Chav Rating: off the bloody scale!!
