I should have mentioned that I am 5'10" and wear a size 16/18 so none of these options would fit me, but thanks for the suggestions. It gives me a better idea of what style to look for! If anyone one else has ideas for a trench/spring coat that would work for a size 16/18 with narrow shoulders/chest and broader waist/hips I'm all ears! Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-spring-outerwear-for-pear-shape-with-tummy#post-310743 Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:34:55 +0000 Mo 310743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie, obviously, but how about an A line trench? I checked over at Polyvore and found <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=19900299&#038;cm_mmc=Performics-_-Affiliates-_-Polyvore-_-Primary" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....-_-Primary</a></p> <p>and this one <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/Sale/AllProducts/PRDOVR~38342/99102265615/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~105~~20~15~~~~~~~/38342.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navig...../38342.jsp</a></p> <p>and this one <a href="http://www.shopruche.com/vintage-excursion-long-coat-by-tulle-p-4414.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopruche.com/vinta.....-4414.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-spring-outerwear-for-pear-shape-with-tummy#post-310737 Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:17:45 +0000 NFS 310737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your reply, Angie. My concern is that with trenches with a defined/belted waist, I often feel like they make my waist look as wide as my narrow shoulders. But great idea on looking for something a bit shorter - will do that! And yes - the problem is finding something that is defined on my shoulders but still fits my waist/hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-spring-outerwear-for-pear-shape-with-tummy#post-310723 Wed, 09 Mar 2011 15:52:49 +0000 Angie 310723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi and welcome to the forum!</p> <p>Have you tried adjusting the buttons of trench coats? You can also leave a few of the buttons at the bottom un-done. Plus you could opt for something a little shorter so that you don't have full coverage of the thigh area. </p> <p>You must keep the trench coat defined on top though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-spring-outerwear-for-pear-shape-with-tummy#post-310639 Wed, 09 Mar 2011 06:25:36 +0000 NFS 310639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! I'm new here, but have been reading Angie's blog for some time (loved the post on travel clothes today).</p> <p>I'm looking for midweight spring outerwear. Problem is that every belted trench that I've ever tried looks awful on me, as I have narrow shoulders/chest combined with a larger lower body (and a bit of a muffin top tummy). Angie, would you have any ideas? I guess I should be looking for something in more of a "swing" style, but all the stores seem to carry right now are trenches... Greatly appreciate any advice, from anyone! Thanks in advance! </p>
