I just let them dangle or occasionally stuff in a pocket like Aida says. Sometimes the belts can slip around too much, in which case I loop it around the belt loop (like a half knot) which keeps it securely in place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas/page/2#post-1528154 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 18:19:53 +0000 Elizabeth P 1528154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Butt vest" was a term coined by Alaskagirl in the winter, when a bunch of people were struggling to find skirted lettings that worked.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas/page/2#post-1528137 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 17:51:51 +0000 Tina 1528137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love the tunics, but excuse my ignorance; what is a "butt vest"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1528135 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 17:50:48 +0000 Kirstjen 1528135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! &nbsp;In all of these choices.</p> <p>Do I want to know what a butt vest is? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1528092 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 16:21:55 +0000 Elizabeth P 1528092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi again... the internet at the cottage this weekend was spotty at best, so trying to keep up with here became impossible.&nbsp; Plus there were cousins to play with :)</p> <p>Just wanted to pop back on to thank everyone for the responses.&nbsp; </p> <p>Aida, your idea for popping the belt into the pockets was genius.&nbsp; That's what I'm going to do.&nbsp; The hoops on this are a bit forward from the side seam, which makes the belt not really long enough to tie behind, which is what I would normally do.&nbsp; They are also riveted into place, so not moveable.&nbsp; </p> <p>And I thought I'd just post the tunic measurements, in case more than just Sveta and Dashielle are interested.&nbsp; They are a little confusing because of the shape of the sweater, so feel free to ask for clarification if this doesn't make sense to you.</p> <p>Size Medium:<br />Length from the center of the back of neck, to the bottom:&nbsp; 29"<br />Length from the shoulder to the longest point:&nbsp; 34"&nbsp; Note the shoulder is about an inch higher than the center back of neck.<br />Length from the shoulder seam/top of sleeve inset to the shortest point: 22"&nbsp; The shoulder seam does angle down a bit, so this is not taken from the same point as the longest spot.&nbsp; <br />Bust:&nbsp; 23"&nbsp;&nbsp; (The small is 22")<b></p> <p></b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1527340 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 01:32:21 +0000 Hilary 1527340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tunics are absolutely fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1527319 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 01:04:11 +0000 Jaime 1527319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My absolute favorite is the pink tunic - the shape and color is so wow on you.

I think you can tie it around your waist without cinching it too tightly, too. The idea is to foster an illusion of waist--no need to actually have one! Or that's what I decided, after avoiding belted coats for ages and then finally trying them--and kinda liking them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1526829 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 02:24:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1526829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad everything worked so well for you!&nbsp; I would tie the belt behind (like Vildy's link), unless it were very cold or actually raining.&nbsp; Also, I think it might be a simple thing to rotate the belt loops down.&nbsp; The waist is a tad high on me too, and I think it's deliberately placed high (I notice this in all trenches these days, as opposed to those from the 80's).&nbsp; I may try to move one.&nbsp; I can always put them back.&nbsp; If I do, I'll let you know how it worked!</p> <p>Every item is vibrant, modern and practical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1526827 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 02:16:27 +0000 Keix 1526827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to tie my trench coat belt behind me in a bow--especially when open, but it also works when buttoned as long as you tie it last. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1526805 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 01:11:44 +0000 Elizabeth P 1526805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Sorry, I've unintentionally done a post and run, but will get back to answer properly tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1526780 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 00:17:43 +0000 Carole 1526780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That orchid color tunic is absolutely stunning on you, Elizabeth! Everything else looks good, too. I'm wondering about the raincoat and if it's uncomfortable to belt your probably not going to wear it, if you're r like me:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1526771 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 23:58:03 +0000 Lisa 1526771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, just wow.&nbsp; The colors, the fits, a super group of four!&nbsp; Bravo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1526769 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 23:56:15 +0000 Vildy 1526769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"When I don't feel like tying the belts on my trenches I usually just pop the ends into my pockets.<br /> "</p> <p>What a great nonchalant look! Will definitely work this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1526717 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 22:55:25 +0000 Aida 1526717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those tunics are smashing on you! I particularly like the pink one, and the version styled with the leatherette leggings. The cobalt trench looks good too; while I prefer the belted look from a purely visual standpoint it doesn't make sense to do it up if it's uncomfortable for you. When I don't feel like tying the belts on my trenches I usually just pop the ends into my pockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1526711 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 22:39:19 +0000 Windchime 1526711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both tunics are gorgeous on you--they look like they were made for you! The cobalt coat looks great, and I think you're on the right track to not fasten the belt.</p> <p>You are a really good shopper to manage 4 for 4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1526690 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 21:35:52 +0000 Vildy 1526690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing wrong with leaving the belt undone. They say that some designers deliberately place the waist a little high and that is slimming. <br />Doesn't work on me and I find it feels odd. I have no problem removing the belt loops and placing them where I want them or removing them altogether if I want.&nbsp; </p> <p>I like what Burberry did with the belt. I'll try to upload a pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/4-for-4-from-nas#post-1526685 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 21:31:00 +0000 Anonymous 1526685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

Just a little great on you. I used to tie the belt of my trenches in back, but finally got rid of them because too high PITA factor for gain.
