Period. 750167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Deborah! You are the Queen of Layered, Drapey Loveliness, so I really appreciate your thoughts on this coat. You always balance volume, even volume on volume, so perfectly and so flatteringly, that a big thumbs up from you is a ringing endorsement! The fit on the first jacket is actually surprisingly like the fit on the Rick Owens coat that Angie posted. It has the same rounded shoulders--actually both do. But the belting helps control the volume. I notice you often belt for the same reason. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749901 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 04:21:01 +0000 Deborah 749901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of them, so glad you kept them. However if you don't mind me saying, these don't read to me as "oversized". While they are not 'fitted' they certainly look like they fit in all the right places. Both of these create a somewhat different look to the oversized coats in Angie's blog. I actually prefer these </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749887 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 03:42:55 +0000 Susie 749887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh definitely a yay for me! Like others, I prefer the gray one but both look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749838 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 02:43:56 +0000 Aida 749838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look great to me, but the first one really gets my attention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749821 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 02:30:33 +0000 Karie 749821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for both, especially the first one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749549 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:11:19 +0000 annagybe 749549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749543 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:05:09 +0000 Caro in Oz 749543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you kept them, I like them both &amp; if you don't want to wear the fur collar &amp; don't want black near your face you could wear a bright scarf with the black coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749476 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 20:31:53 +0000 K. Period. 749476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Glory, I know. I've given away so many things only to have them be the perfect thing the next season. I was even feeling like these should go last year. But then I adjusted the belt on the gray one, moving it up about 6 inches, and while I was doing it, I just realized that there was no way that I could let them go. They just made me too happy. I think it helped that they were always a little bit of a fringe look, even when I bought them. So glad to know I'm not alone in liking these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749462 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 20:20:47 +0000 Glory 749462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both on you but esp #1. Can I say I am slightly envious that you kept your oversized coats, I did not and am missing them after todays post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749426 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:39:16 +0000 nancylee 749426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These both work to my eye. I actually like the grey color of #1 and the style of #2...but they both have strong points! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749424 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:37:30 +0000 Anonymous 749424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The gray one gets my vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749421 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:34:27 +0000 Dana 749421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't really are the black one well enough to comment, bit I LOVE the first one in gray. You look stylish and very much an individualist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749352 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:16:42 +0000 K. Period. 749352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! Grey definitely is a better color for me. I really should have included the fur collar on the second one. The sheen and warmth of it (even though it is black) really softens the coat and fills out the neckline. </p> <p>So glad these are on trend and done right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749338 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:12:58 +0000 Angie 749338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first one! Grey looks better on you than black to my eye </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749333 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:11:38 +0000 K. Period. 749333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! All favorable so far, so that makes me happy. </p> <p>Una, the second one has a detachable fur collar that I probably should have put on too. I think it finishes the jacket better. </p> <p>I'm so happy to see these returning again because I adore these two coats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749325 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:08:08 +0000 catgirl 749325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fabulous and you wear them so well! The first one is my favorite of the two, but both look wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749309 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 17:57:21 +0000 Classically Casual 749309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great. I'm pro oversized. It's easy to bundle up over thick clothing &amp; I think the look is elegant. Yay for great coats coming out of storage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749305 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 17:51:39 +0000 bj1111 749305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!!!..this is just oversized enough to give a nod to changing fashion while still retaining structure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-oversized-coat#post-749301 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 17:50:23 +0000 K. Period. 749301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was ecstatic to see the oversize coat post this morning and particularly to see the recommendations on fit. I have two oversize coats that are fairly old, but I've loved too much to get rid of. Both are excellent quality. First is dark charcoal whipcord. Second is black with a tie closure (which I forgot to grab when taking the photos). I think that both of these fit the proper fit parameters. What do you think? </p> <p>(Please ignore the wrinkles. These are straight from storage. Also, apologies for the overexposed pictures. Getting the details of these dark coats to show was pretty challenging and I thought overexposed but more detailed was best!) </p> <p>Yay = Totally fabulous oversized wonderfulness.<br /> Nay = Put 'em back in storage. </p>
