I very much prefer trenches with a bit of flare like yours has because it emphasizes your waist even more. I think it looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1466074 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 01:30:09 +0000 Tanya 1466074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote to keep!&nbsp; It is a great trench and it fits you well.&nbsp; I like the flare on the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1466068 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 01:27:44 +0000 Nannabella 1466068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, definitely keep. It looks lovely on, and when belted, it accentuates your figure beautifully. The only thing I'd suggest is to maybe try tying the belt a bit differently, which could help you feel a bit more modern with it. Lately I've been using the method shown near the end of the video <a href="http://www.extrapetite.com/2011/10/all-about-belts-how-to-tie-hole-punch.html" rel="nofollow">on this page</a>, and I like the neater effect it has. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1466011 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 23:15:24 +0000 Anonymous 1466011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the coat on you. The shape shows off your small waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1466004 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 23:09:23 +0000 Anonymous 1466004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>p.s. change the buttons if you're bored - it can give it a whole new look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1466003 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 23:08:54 +0000 Anonymous 1466003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me .

I've been eyeing new trenches this year but frankly it's not really in the budget. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1465900 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:14:00 +0000 catgirl 1465900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this style and it looks fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1465892 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:06:51 +0000 CocoLion 1465892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's worth keeping too. &nbsp;It looks like it's in good condition (although hard to tell when something's black). &nbsp;And the fit is spot-on. &nbsp;Finally, it doesn't look dated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1465873 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:39:50 +0000 AM 1465873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keeper in my book. Nice lines and very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1465870 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:38:22 +0000 Janet 1465870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great! A well-fitting trench is a classic. I say as long as it's in good shape and still works for you, it's a keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1465858 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:22:03 +0000 rabbit 1465858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks&nbsp;great! &nbsp;Especially with waist definition coming in a bit more (in flowy things). &nbsp;I really like the flare as it reminds me of fit and flare shirt dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1465853 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:07:43 +0000 viva 1465853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the flare is necessarily bad -- I think mine has some flare too. I wear it open a lot too, which mitigates the flare. </p> <p>And I like old chic's point about motion. Keep and wear the flare!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1465849 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:05:19 +0000 Daria 1465849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies!<br /><b>viva</b> - it does have lots of flare. I'm guessing it would be very difficult and/or very expensive to tailor. And as <b>old chic</b> pointed out, it does look better in motion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1465831 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:44:32 +0000 old chic 1465831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you, and is probably very "dashing" in motion. I'd definitely keep wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1465818 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:15:10 +0000 viva 1465818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like it fits you very well on top. Is there a lot of flare (out to the sides) on the bottom? It's a bit hard to tell with the lighting. If so, I wonder if the bottom could be tailored a bit to make it more streamlined and straighter. That's all I would suggest. Otherwise it is such a classic item if it's in good shape I don't see why you wouldn't still wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-the-fact-of-my-old-trench-coat#post-1465814 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:10:39 +0000 Daria 1465814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you ladies think? Toss or keep?&nbsp;Does it look ridiculous?&nbsp;It really is fairly old, although there is nothing technically "wrong" with it.</p>
