I find I have a lot more tolerance for wearing a lot of one standout non-neutral colour (such as your red) daily when I am on a trip. You aren't seeing the same people every day and feel less conspicuous. It is on trips that I have gotten the most use out of my blush moto, something I just can't wear every day at home but happily do on a 3-4 day trip to a new place, feeling most fab even if the masses tend to be wearing blander items (they are the masses after all... given any crowd, neutrals will predominate!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-update-the-coat-question-answered#post-1613047 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 09:56:54 +0000 anchie 1613047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to laugh at your black puffer comment. So true. And guilty myself. <br />But you look great, red is your color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-update-the-coat-question-answered#post-1613043 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 09:14:53 +0000 ALeigh 1613043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, puffer jackets are so boring and very overrated. Go, bold and red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-update-the-coat-question-answered#post-1613042 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 09:08:43 +0000 Astrid 1613042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So what if you were standing out in the crowd? You look fantastic in red. Berlin is a usually also a sea of dark colors and my silver puffer coat is super visible. But if it's dark and grey outside I like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-update-the-coat-question-answered#post-1612941 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 01:45:33 +0000 shiny 1612941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I did warn you Vienna is conservative, but I stand by my recommendation to take the red coat. :-)&nbsp;See how well it looks in photographs? Oh my, how pretty you look with the red lipstick too!</p> <p>Can I see your reversible blanket scarf? Sounds interesting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-update-the-coat-question-answered#post-1612933 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 01:27:27 +0000 Beth Ann 1612933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When my kids were small, I used to always wear a bright color when we traveled, so they could easily keep their eyes on me. &nbsp;I imagine it was nice for your DH to be able to see you as you dodged into a boutique or coffee shop!</p> <p>(And red is such a lovely color on you!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-update-the-coat-question-answered#post-1612789 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 20:15:55 +0000 L'Abeille 1612789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Home since midnight last night. The weather was milder than expected and also rainier.</p> <p> After the discussion on previous threads, I opted to take the red light-wool coat as my city coat/ski jacket alternate. Waiting in the train station at the airport (in the plaid ski jacket), I was watching hordes of women go by in black puffers, occasionally relieved by other dark neutrals like navy or khaki, and thinking "I was misinformed"... I ended up seeing only four other women in red coats the whole time I was there.</p> <p>Looking back I am still glad I took the red. It was a good match for the weather with accessories for the colder days, and I felt chic whenever I had it on. In pictures it looks good, and although it stood out it was not in a bad way (except maybe those days when DH insisted on wearing his orange ski jacket in the city, and we stood out as tourists). At least in Vienna, that just means you get hit up by folks in period costume flogging tickets to Mozart performances.</p> <p>I accessorized for warmth with the red beret and black leather gloves. I took a huge blanket scarf in red plaid reversing to black and white houndstooth, and a lighter pashmina sized scarf in red and black paisley. So I was really in a LOT of red. Fortunately the shades all matched and the rest of my wardrobe is basically black. I'll post my packing list elsewhere, and add photos as I am able (pics of me are on DH's phone). </p>
