what do you girls think of madras?

exsupahero · Kate Spade

I like madras and bought a pair of shorts from J.Crew last year that's very similar in print as the skirt below. AE came out with this bubble skirt that is really cute and I'm considering getting it.

I'm mainly a fan of red colored madras.I keep it simple by pairing it with polo shirts and if I get this skirt, probably a nice short sleeved puffy button-down shirt.

I love this. I might have to stop by on to check it out tomorrow.

Lilykind · Hermes

I like madras as a whole, though I generally prefer patchwork madras like the AE bubble skirt.

I like the dress, but I'm not really crazy about the rest.

.

me too. And I have been REALLY into it this season. I love some of the stuff J. Crew has right now.

Kitty · Hermes

I like them, but not the jacket at all.

HeatherLynn · Gucci

I like madras, but not the stuff at old navy. I like the patchwork madras like lilykind said.

Same.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I got this one from ON, it's madras that was tie dyed, anyway, it was delivered on Friday and I really like it.

I also think the AE skirt is cute, but not everyone could pull it off.

littlelatina · BCBG

I like the AE skirt. I"m not too crazy about any of the other stuff...

theotherjess · Chanel

I like madras and have really been craving some this season. That AE skirt might fit the bill. That said, I'm not a huge fan of madras shorts/pants because it feels like pajama pants to me.

BargainQueen · Marc Jacobs

I like the skirt, I'm not too crazy about the blazer.

I didn't like these when I saw them online, but I saw it on the model and I love the way it looks on her. I was just at ON this weekend and I'm going to have to go back for it:

OH! and I really like the dress, but I dont' think it would be flattering on me.

i guess i'm the lone dissenter, but i don't like madras at all. it just seems so quilt-circle to me, or something.

Actually, I am not a huge fan of madras either. Some of it is ok, I just don't think I would wear it for myself.

nunzi182 · Kate Spade

I don't really like it at all. It all looks too 80s for me. I like the ON dress though; but as a whole I don't like it.

My thoughts exactly.

NCshopper · Hermes

I'm not a huge fan either. I think some people can pull it off, but it has to be in small doses. Madras reminds me of a madras suit I had back when I was twelve--I had the pants, shorts, and blazer (with shoulder pads) and it was so very bad. I think it's turned me off madras for good.

Thats hysterical... I can totally envision it. I bought this plaid skirt from ON, its nice and light for the summer.
