Last weekend I was suffering from some "buy now, think later" syndrome. When would you consider wearing this?

It's not really thick enough to serve as an actual coat, but I don't really think it's a formalwear piece either... 99% of me is returning it, just curious what people think it would be used for.

It's a cool jacket, but it would only work if you were into the whole look that's associated with her. Otherwise, send it back.

Wear it casually, as if it was army surplus.

When you treat it like it's not big deal, it will look the best.

Wear it with all black as it appeared in the show, black boots and jeans.

Misshapes is goth?

You'd have to pull off some severely un-goth stuff to get this to look right, IMO. I think it would go well with a wine-colored sweather over a white oxford button-down shirt, and light grey stacked jeans, maybe some white shoes.

Of course you could wear a black turtleneck and black trousers and black shoes, but do you want to look like you just walked off the runway?

Black knit. Black jeans. Black "clunky" boots.

And where it anywhere.

Wear it with a plain white tee, some black pants that don't look like dress pants and white hi-tops or black boots.
