If you get cold easily and want to get your Park Slope on, I highly recommend it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2092014 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 08:03:55 +0000 Bijou 2092014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks very flattering and I love it with your Converse boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2091994 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 06:21:19 +0000 Anonymous 2091994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coat looks good to me. Thought want at least one winter coat the will layer over bulky sweaters and even a blazer. Too fitted may not always be warm enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2091099 Thu, 09 Jan 2020 15:26:52 +0000 Anonymous 2091099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think a bit loose is problematic for coats, as you'll be layering under. I sized up on my puffer for that reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090979 Thu, 09 Jan 2020 03:57:20 +0000 Gigi 2090979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very instructive thread! I wouldn't have known the answer either. At first I was going to say that it looks big through the shoulders, but the fit was the same on the model. I was hoping Angie would chime in with a definitive assessment, and I wasn't disappointed! Oversized fits can be hard sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090978 Thu, 09 Jan 2020 03:55:53 +0000 Jaime 2090978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks exactly as it should to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090976 Thu, 09 Jan 2020 03:50:58 +0000 Preppy Pear 2090976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Thanks for the affirmation, all! Rachylou, puffy, puffy, puffy indeed! I really like it and am feeling better about the size now - I am not really good at gauging fits at all, especially with oversized items. I think the size down wouldn’t be nearly as comfortable, so I think I’ll keep it as is since you all agree. Thanks, Angie, Suz, slim cat, smittie and kkards!</p> <p>It is super warm and cozy. It might be a little warm for my climate here (in DFW) too, kellygirl, but I get really cold here when it’s in the 40s or lower after the sun goes down, so I know I’ll be glad for the puff. It seems like it is great quality for the price.</p> <p>Lisa, I didn’t know this coat had this Park Slope connection, ha! Thanks for the links, JAileen - that article is too funny. I missed out on the Amazon coat last year completely. This one does seem to be more or less the same.</p> <p>Nuancedream, I like it - PPC!</p> <p>This jacket will replace my battered and stained mid-length parka, which is fitted and slim. Lesley, I tried some more fitted and streamlined puffers first - North Face Gotham and Acropolis - they were very nice, but I just wasn’t excited about them. This one is much more playful, I think. Though I do have a midi length fitted parka that will have to be pried from my cold dead hands! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090888 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 21:03:38 +0000 nuancedream 2090888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PPC...Perfect Puffy Coat!

Looks KILLER dead right.</p> <p>If you like though, you can compare it with a size down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090865 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 19:30:56 +0000 Suz 2090865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great to me. Super casual and cozy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090856 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 19:17:21 +0000 Lesley 2090856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like it fits well to me. The sleeves and shoulders are fitted which is a nice contrast to the more voluminous fit across the torso. The question is whether or not you like the silhouette for yourself! There are definitely more streamlined puffers if you're not feeling it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090854 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 19:11:49 +0000 slim cat 2090854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's working in that size fine ( relaxed ). The look is probably depends on what bottoms you are wearing: dark/slim/dressy pants/jeans will make it more streamlined, lighter/casual jeans will be more slouchy/relaxed ( same with shoes - lots of great options ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090846 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 18:44:52 +0000 Anonymous 2090846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this the famous amazon.com jacket ? Apparently it’s crazy popular in super hip and cool areas ( Park Slope etc) . I briefly considered it last year but couldn’t get my head around the fit so gave up . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090844 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 18:42:41 +0000 smittie 2090844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I like it too. The double hem on the bottom is really special.<br /> It’s too hard to tell if it’s too big. I think the arm length is good. How is the fit trough the shoulders?<br /> I think the look is supposed to be a little a-line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090842 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 18:41:34 +0000 kellygirl 2090842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. It looked similar on me but it was so heavy and more than I need for my climate. The style looks intentionally oversized and I loved the zipper details on the side. Looks fab!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090840 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 18:39:28 +0000 JAileen 2090840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it’s meant to be oversized. &nbsp;It looks like the right size, to me, and it looks great on you. &nbsp;It looks sort of like The Amazon coat from last year:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.manrepeller.com/2019/02/i-accidentally-bought-that-viral-amazon-coat.html">https://www.manrepeller.com/20.....-coat.html</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHOLC0O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=manrepeller0c-20&amp;linkId=003200f6d7b9b551e89704765a6d39b4&amp;language=en_US">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H.....epeller0c-</a></p> <div><br /></div><div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090833 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 18:12:41 +0000 kkards 2090833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the side zippers! i think it looks great. and if it feels good, that i say its a keeper </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-rachylou-and-others-is-this-puffy-coat-oversized-or-just-too-big#post-2090831 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 18:11:21 +0000 rachylou 2090831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it’s cute!

I’m worried that it’s too big. I’m absolutely fine that it surrenders the waist and adds bulk - but does it look intentional?</p> <p><a href="https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/sam-edelman-faux-shearling-lined-puffer-coat/5327997/lite" rel="nofollow">https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s.....27997/lite</a></p> <p>I’m stalking a size down for comparison, but not available so far. Am also not sure it would fit my shoulders and arms in a size down.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your thoughts! </p>
