I think it should be good up until -10C, the fabric is so thick and warm.<br />I still have concerns about the black because I am not used to wear it in such expanse and I am afraid it can overpower me. However I am resolved to work on this and even looking to add a couple of light and bright&nbsp;scarves to my collection, just cannot decide on the color yet. Maybe it would be a topic for another post...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown/page/2#post-1065840 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:45:32 +0000 lyn67 1065840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back&nbsp;here to&nbsp;say I may have missunderstood the question:-(. I thought you ask for a coat to go exclusively with your cobalt trousers. So for that case &nbsp;I preffered the Zara one,&nbsp;even though&nbsp;the&nbsp; Danier is&nbsp; more fringe and&nbsp;classic in the same time, providing&nbsp;more warmth(love the length, too)&nbsp;and &nbsp;better quality&nbsp;for it's price. If considering all these, Danier was the best choice, indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown/page/2#post-1065833 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:30:02 +0000 Ornella 1065833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late for decision making, I loved the first coat better although I did have some concerns about it being so dark - but, you can fix that easily and longlonglonglong elegant coat is something to be seriously considered no matter what.</p> <p>You've also made me look at my own old&nbsp;long coat with the new enthusiasm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown/page/2#post-1065829 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:18:28 +0000 gryffin 1065829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta-&nbsp; So glad you are keeping the Danier.&nbsp; The Zara is beautiful and unusual but I think the black is heart pounding wonderful on you&nbsp; You can accessorize it in many different ways and lighten the look and make it your own.&nbsp; But for sheer drama, elegance and power I do not think this look can be beat!!&nbsp; Enjoy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown/page/2#post-1065824 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 09:53:26 +0000 Mona 1065824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although my preference was for Zara but Suz's comment won me over. I trust Suz's judgement and can't wait to see this lovely coat in action for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown/page/2#post-1065797 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 07:27:28 +0000 Lyn D. 1065797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay Suz and Sveta the dynamic shopping duo!<br />The Danier wins for me without question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown/page/2#post-1065762 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 05:37:19 +0000 kellygirl 1065762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked the Zara when you first posted it but man, the Danier is better!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown/page/2#post-1065753 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 05:24:43 +0000 Ingunn 1065753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the Danier!

I was going to say the Danier by a mile! I prefer the style AND the color. And the quality looks much better too. So glad you had Suz to help you find the perfect coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown/page/2#post-1065604 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 02:21:42 +0000 unfrumped 1065604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know its all sorted already, but the Danier makes you look even more YOU. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown/page/2#post-1065572 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 01:47:38 +0000 meg15 1065572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choice.&nbsp; The Danier coat looks wonderful on you.&nbsp; I would never think of Danier for a wool cashmere blend, but it looks like a great coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown/page/2#post-1065546 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 01:27:52 +0000 Sveta 1065546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zara coat is all packed and ready to be shipped tomorrow.<br />Suz, you are a Fairy Godmother of my Danier coat for sure! Magic touch indeed... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065534 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 01:13:03 +0000 Suz 1065534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even though these photos are not flattering of Sveta because she is tired, not made up, etc. and almost deliberately just looking as ordinary as possible (for her gorgeous dramatic self, that is) you can see the richness of the fabric and the dye on the black coat. It has a depth to it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am feeling especially gleeful because without my magic touch this coat would not be hers! The SA looked for it in her size and could not find it. I went to the rack and discovered it right away. (Frankly, I don't know what the heck the SA was doing because it was right there in plain sight at the back of the rack, but whatever...) &nbsp;;-) &nbsp; It takes a YLF shopper to do the legwork, I guess! All in a day''s work for a Fabber.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065532 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 01:10:45 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1065532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More confirmation of your choice here. I can see why you were drawn to the Zara, but the Danier is gorgeous on you. Because of the lapel style, you'll always be showing your collar underneath or wearing a scarf, so I don't see the black as a problem. You look stunning in the coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065512 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 00:20:07 +0000 DonnaF 1065512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should have viewed the pics before your description as a double check.&nbsp; I did not think that photos would reveal the difference in quality, but you can really see that touch of cashmere in the Danier.&nbsp; Demonstrates what an aid taking pics can be!&nbsp; Glad you're keeping the Danier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065499 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 00:07:59 +0000 Glory 1065499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the Danier coat to have a timeless elegance about it and on you this is magnified - so so elegant.<br />The zara is also lovely - but a fun coat.<br />My nod goes to the Danier - I don't think it will disappoint. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065449 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 23:34:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1065449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked the Zara coat on your previous post but seeing the Danier coat more clearly, there really is no competition. The Danier coat is beyond stunning on you and is so regal looking. So glad to hear it's staying </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065410 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 23:00:58 +0000 Sveta 1065410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, it was really no brainer after all. Yesterday when I got&nbsp;Danier coat&nbsp;with Suz I was thinking which one to keep...until I looked at them side by side and then I was all clear... I feel much better in the Danier coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065409 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:59:47 +0000 Deborah 1065409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, my choice would have been the Zara but that is possibly me projecting my style preferences onto you :)&nbsp;There is no question the Danier looks excquisite on you also.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065405 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:56:25 +0000 Diana 1065405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Danier all the way. &nbsp;I can tell just from the photos that the quality and fabric are better, something about the way it hangs. &nbsp;Plus the more classic style will stand you in good stead for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065400 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:53:15 +0000 dustt 1065400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>tough call - as I didn't realize the danier was a cashmere blend.... that gives it some bonus points, but even so, that collar on the Zara coat is just so fabulous - it wins hands down. with a pair of scrunched&nbsp;Long Cobalt blue cashmere gloves!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065394 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:47:58 +0000 deb 1065394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad you kept the Danier. That it the one I was going to vote for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065367 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:03:29 +0000 Peri 1065367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote Danier. Something about the way the collar of the Zara bunches up bothers me in some way. It seems like over time it could get tiresome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065345 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 21:35:25 +0000 catgirl 1065345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not looking at the comments, I'm voting Danier.&nbsp; That collar is great on you but it looks like it's fussy.&nbsp; The Danier will last you forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065331 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 21:14:09 +0000 Caro in Oz 1065331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Danier, the fit is so much better &amp; if the quality is too then that's the one I would pick. I think the black would work really well with your wardrobe &amp; looks better than&nbsp;the grey imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065259 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 19:49:58 +0000 Beth Ann 1065259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you're keeping the Danier.&nbsp; Lovely coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coat-showdown#post-1065252 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 19:46:30 +0000 amiable 1065252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Danier from me too - the fit is lovely, the coat itself is beautiful and dramatically understated, and the length is perfect - the Zara looks too short, kinda boxy, and not nearly as high quality. &nbsp;Though I do like the drama of the Zara&nbsp;collar - I think even the Danier is better than the Zara collar. </p>
