When the teddy jacket came into vogue last year we hoped it would be a short-lived trend.
A momentary lapse in judgement by fashionistas around the world if you will.
But winter’s rolled back ’round and it appears to have not died at all. The teddy jacket is back and the fad is stronger than ever.
This winter the potato sack-ish piece is available in an insurmountable amount of shapes and colours. Crop teddy? It’s out there. Teddy hoodies? You can find at least one in every fashion store.
Designers have even started ruining nice, regular-shaped coats by covering them in this trademark hideous fur.
I’m not sure why they’ve come back. The only “appeal” I can comprehend is that it creates that “dainty” look.
You know the look – when something is way too large for you thus making you appear smaller and therefore (by societal standards) more “feminine.”
Here’s the ugly truth (it can’t nearly be as ugly as your jacket, but I’ll give it a whip): These jackets, nine times out of ten, are flammable AF. The “teddy” part of this piece is not a natural material. It’s either 100% synthetic or a blend of something real and something fake.
So girl, if you’ve got a bonfire going do NOT take your teddy jacket. Keep it at home. Better yet make plans to burn it on purpose. Up to you.
The whole “synthetic” part of this jacket also leads to some other undesirable outcomes: overheating and profuse sweating.
And what are you going you do after sweating in this forsaken fashion trend? Wash it. Well good luck with that sweetie because that is NOT gonna go down well.
Ever tried washing an actual teddy before, only for it to come out of the wash stale and crappy-to-the-touch?
That is your destiny, teddy jacket owners. Own it. But for god’s sake, stop owning these jackets.
