Question from clueless woman.

[zanana1]

If a ski jacket has a zipper, can you tell if it's a Men's or a Woman's? I found this great jacket at a used clothing store. It's white and very puffy. On the front, it says ACG. I'm dying to wear it but I don't want people to know I'm kind of a moron. Any help would be appreciated.

1. I don't know how you tell if it's for a man or a woman...

And who cares?

I wear a men's jacket when it's really cold or rainy out, and nobody can tell the difference!

As long as it fits and feels good, that's all that matters.

I'd buy it if I were you!

2. As far as I know they all zip the same way

Even if I'm wrong about this, I wouldn't worry about it. Women wear men's clothes all the time, and nobody raises an eyebrow. In some cases it's even sexy. If it looks good on you, wear it and don't worry about it.

3. Is there really any difference?

Maybe fitted jackets are different, but if it is puffy with a zipper, there is no difference as far as I know.

Congrats on finding a great jacket for a great price

Wear it with confidence.

4. My rule of thumb is...

We women can wear anything. It is the accessories that count.

5. It's for a Female. ACG stands for "A Captivating Girl"

Problem Solved.

6. If you like it and it looks good on you, it doesn't matter.

Work it!

7. Does it have boobs?

Boobs are often an indicator.

Often.

14. I've looked very closely for boobs...

It looks like I'll have to add some.

8. Who cares? If it's owned by a woman, it's a woman's coat. End of problem.

Anyone who needs to assign a sex to a piece of fabric needs to get a life.

9. I love all the answers here.

I think I'll just relax, think DU and just think of it as a good thing that shouldn't go to waste. Thanks, everyone!

10. Women's coats and men's coats have opposite zippers but

I forget whether it's that women's coats have left-handed zippers and men's coats have right-handed zippers or the other way round

[siligut]

11. It's the other way around

I think men's coats have left-handed zippers, in case they have to draw their sword with their right.

13. Why didn't I think of that?

That's an excellent answer.

12. Personally, I think any guy wearing

a white, puffy coat would look like a moron.

I love shopping at used clothing stores. I dress better than I ever have since starting to shop them. The key is knowing the quality brands. I don't care about sizes or genders.

15. If you like it, wear it.

I've never understood a lot of differences between men's and women's clothing.

Why opposite sided buttons and zippers?

Why do men's shirts come in varying neck and sleeve lengths but women's don't?

Why do men have reasonable socks, but some women's socks end at the ankle?

I'm sure there are many more insanities.

By the way, my warmest, most comfortable jacket is one I've had for years. It is a logo jacket from a former employer that only came with "wrong side" buttoning.

16. Be careful wearing it the next couple of days,

You'll blend in nicely with the whiteouts!

17. Sounds like YOUR coat to me... nt
