Crazy or cute?

A leopard windbreaker. Half of me knows this is so loony it shouldn’t even be up for debate. The other half wonders how I’ve lived so long without it.

    Love A.P.C. and have a dress from spring in this print in a different colorway. So, I want to give this one a thumbs up.

    Crazy and cute.

  3. Debra says:

    Cute, but only if the sleeves are long enough in real life to keep you from looking like a toddler.

  4. ljchicago says:

    CUTE! But $385?!

  5. frances says:

    Frickin’ adorable, but wearable by an adult. But yes on needing full length sleeves.

    No way! I just saw fabric like this at Fabric Mart! I almost bought it. Looks like I’m going back since I now know what to do with it!

  7. A.S. says:

    I have to go with crazy, mostly because the bracelet sleeves and boxy cut make it look too childish.

  8. blackbird says:

    Then again – I’m tiny. Bracelet sleeves work as normal sleeves on me. I’m noticing that some garments seem to be cut for chimps.
    Cute, in the right context (dark pants).

  9. Amy says:

    No way. Crazy. Sleeves too short, pouch on the front in exactly the wrong spot. No no no.

    Edith Prickley in the rain! I guess on the right person it could be cute. That person is not me.

  11. Corrin says:

    Full length sleeves and a price under $100 would make it a big YES for me. The yellow leopard takes it from crazy cat lady to chic.

  12. lisa says:

    Crazy, unless you are ten!

  13. mslewis says:

    Cute. I would wear it if the sleeves were a touch longer and the price a touch lower. I really like it.

  14. c.w. says:

    crazy. also liked the “toddler” comment and agree.

  15. Agreed … sleeves are too short. I’m ready for the general obsession with leopard print to be over. I’m pretty sure this boxy cut is going to be one of the trends I’d better skip. Nope. Not for me.

  16. Crazy. Because if you’re going to go for a windbreaker in this fabric, the sleeves better be long enough, the pocket needs to be big enough to actually hold something real (or at least both of your hands), and there needs to be a hood, in case of sudden downpour. Zany doesn’t preclude practicality, in my book.

    No…no…no.

    That pouch! And the proportions are all wrong!
