Interesting how toppers (along with handbags and accessories) were also the main part of Angie's 10-years-strong collection. Clearly, a well-made topper is worth every penny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-and-toppers-ftw#post-2094139 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 09:01:24 +0000 Jenni NZ 2094139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh Suz I love the Hilary Radley cranberry one! It reminds me of the colour of Mum’s coat that I am holding onto even though it won’t do up. I first borrowed it from her when I was 21. That should do you another 20 years! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-and-toppers-ftw#post-2094121 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 05:27:13 +0000 rachylou 2094121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coats do seem to lead when it comes to longevity. Excellent collection!</p> <p>... but you know, I feel they don’t make them as warm as they used to... I feel, anyways, it’s hard now to get a real wool winter coat in California... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-and-toppers-ftw#post-2094104 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 03:05:16 +0000 Jaime 2094104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely agree that coats are the easiest to keep around a long time. Also styles seem to shift more slowly with coats than other things. Love your collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-and-toppers-ftw#post-2094090 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 02:13:42 +0000 Anonymous 2094090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a beautiful collection of coats and toppers.

Well, the cranberry coat is a statement, too, but as a dressier wool coat it is also an essential.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-and-toppers-ftw#post-2094034 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 20:34:30 +0000 Cardiff girl 2094034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely pieces,timeless in their design .I think that one of the reasons that coats and toppers last well is because they are usually expensive compared to other things in our wardrobe and of course they are not subjected to the laundering that other types of clothing are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-and-toppers-ftw#post-2094032 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 20:30:02 +0000 Carla 2094032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful collection of OBG’s, Suz. &nbsp;A good trench is worth it’s weight in gold. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-and-toppers-ftw#post-2094016 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 19:34:15 +0000 Angie 2094016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Applauding your beautiful and very loyal wardrobe golden oldies!

Very little in my closet (besides jewellery) is over 10 years because 2010 is when I lost weight and had to start my wardrobe from ground zero. These items are therefore 8-9 years old...but getting close to a decade and no plans to pass them on yet.&nbsp;</p> <p>And, guess what? Coats and toppers. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I also have a lot more items that are 6/7 years old, because I did more of my buying in that period, and many items are still in play. But we are celebrating decades here, so...</p> <p>1. Hilary Radley cranberry coat -- one of my first YLF purchases. Knee length, dramatic foldover collar, mixed wool/alpaca. This is such a lovely coat, I will probably never pass it on. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>2. Theory short trench -- gift of another forum member and I still love and wear this coat. Packs like a dream.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. Lole Katie puffer. I have worn this coat SO MUCH. I got thoroughly sick of it so it hasn't seen wear the past two years but I am keeping it because it is in great shape and fulfills a job.&nbsp;</p> <p>4. Vintage Biba kimono. Really fun piece to wear with sheaths or jeans as a summer topper.&nbsp;</p> <p>5. Classic London Fog trench. I wish it were navy, but until the "right" navy one comes along, this is a standby.&nbsp;</p> <p>6. Cropped denim jacket from The Bay. Distressed a bit but not too much and nice fading -- I love this jacket. It works really well with skirts/ dresses and higher waist pants/ culottes.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; </p>
