The most neutral one will be fashionable for a longer period of time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternatives-to-silk-trench#post-551497 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 07:38:14 +0000 CocoLion 551497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one, it is timeless, a better investment. The trim model and the blue one will date after a few years, as color trends come and go. But neutrals are timeless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternatives-to-silk-trench#post-551458 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 05:29:55 +0000 gradfashionista 551458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the first one is quite close to the silk one. while it's lighter than the cotton garbadine models carried on the burberry website, it has one advantage--i can wear in the middle east in the summers, when modesty is a necessary factor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternatives-to-silk-trench#post-551339 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:31:01 +0000 ironkurtin 551339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the piping one. But it's very different from the one you posted. if you're spending the money, go with your heart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternatives-to-silk-trench#post-551326 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:15:33 +0000 Sarah A 551326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>of these options, I would vote #1 or #3. If my fairy Godmother was buying for me, it would be #3 for sure based on my skin/hair coloring. I am not sure the blue would work as well based upon your description of yours though... Can you try them on to eval the colors on yourself in an actual store? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternatives-to-silk-trench#post-551325 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:15:07 +0000 bj1111 551325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>of he bunch, i like the brit one with the piping. </p> <p>london and brit are diffusion lines. i have a brit coat, i don't think it's as well made as the standard burberry line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternatives-to-silk-trench#post-551265 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:10:07 +0000 gradfashionista 551265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks in advance for helping me on this issue!</p> <p>Many people pointed to the problem of durability, dressiness, and practicality as far as the silk trench was concerned (photo 4). What are your thoughts on these runners up? I already own a polyester black London Fog coat, and thought a neutral colour might be worthwhile (to complement my non-beige tops). </p> <p>I have medium brown hair with a reddish tinge, pale skin with very pink undertones (not an even complexion) and green eyes. </p> <p>Runners-up:</p> <p>a) <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/product.jsp?isEditorial=false&#038;index=7&#038;masterId=cat41160763&#038;itemId=prod144050046&#038;cmCat=cat000000cat000001cat000009cat000019cat000227cat9360741cat41160763cat41160760&#038;parentId=cat41160760" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/pr.....at41160760</a></p> <p>b) <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/burberry-brit-trench-coat-with-contrast-trim/3274202?origin=keywordsearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bu.....wordsearch</a></p> <p>c) <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/burberry-london-double-breasted-belted-satin-trench/3241677?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=185" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/bu.....ltback=185</a> </p>
