You do not make it easy.</p> <p>Do you intend to live in this coat, day and night? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1032303 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 20:36:16 +0000 Niefern 1032303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 6, although 2 is probably not too practical (not too warm) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1032300 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 20:32:55 +0000 Inge 1032300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 1, 2, 6 and 7 for you, Denise. I think fluid fit coats and silhouettes like the cocoon coat will still be quite on trend for the next few seasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031914 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 13:56:58 +0000 texstyle 1031914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #2. Can't see past it. I think you would look amazing in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031910 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 13:54:00 +0000 pil 1031910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 and 6 are my favorites, though the color of 6 probably has more longevity. I have a toggle coat like #4 from Sierra Trading Post. It is warm but so heavy I rarely reach for it. We're the same age and it never occurred to me that it could be too young of a look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031900 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 13:46:19 +0000 donnat 1031900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also voting before reading. #2 and #6 are my faves.<br /> The vince coat has a beautiful style and color. I think it is different enough that in will last a few years.<br /> I like the shape of 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031878 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 13:34:39 +0000 Thistle 1031878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am voting before reading everyone else's response, so sorry if this si a duplicate.&nbsp; I LOVE the Vince Asymmetrical Coat for you. It feels like your style to me, and feel like it is appropriate to your lifestyle. I think you will get years and years ofwear out of it!</p> <p>My second choice would be #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031870 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 13:32:05 +0000 Suz 1031870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. is beautiful but not very practical...then again, my own climate may be colouring my perceptions unduly.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. has that timeless avant garde element to it, which makes it appealing. But It's hard to say whether the lapels would overwhelm.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. not sure about the colour of this for you, but worth a try.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not crazy about 4 or 5 for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>6. I love. The silhouette would work well with skinnies, I think, narrowing from the shoulders -- an IT shape. You would look extremely cozy in it.&nbsp;</p> <p>7. I love the shape but feel hesitant about the colour for you.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031850 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 13:13:13 +0000 Mander 1031850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I like 2 as well.&nbsp; A little bit funky but cozy-looking.&nbsp; I also like 5 and 6, although I also wonder if the cocoon-ish shape will look dated more rapidly than some of the others. 7 is a bit difficult to see in the photo, given the way the model is posed, but IMHO it seems to be a very classic shape and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031825 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 12:54:25 +0000 Mochi 1031825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Zara and GF Ferre the best. Would love to see pics of you wearing them. Not sure why but 2 is coming across as filmsy and not well made. Or something--I realize it's one of the favorites here.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031819 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 12:46:37 +0000 Anonymous 1031819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After reading your comments, #7 seems ideal...modern style, color that hides doggy dirt and not as expensive as #2. You look wonderful in those light neutrals. I like the shape of 6, but all the black seems a harsh color for you plus showing dog hair (unless your dog is black). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031815 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 12:35:53 +0000 Janet 1031815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm skipping the responses so as not to color my first impression. #2 and 7 stand out to me. I wish 7 were available in other colors -- I would try it myself. 2 is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031814 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 12:32:03 +0000 Glory 1031814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful selection of coats you have posted. I like 6 first, then 7. I find 6 has some interesting details that might appeal and I like the larger fit of it. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031811 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 12:29:01 +0000 Jjsloane 1031811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only ones I really can't see you in are 4 and 5. 1 just seems too short to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031754 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 10:17:32 +0000 kkards 1031754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#7 spoke to me ----its an updated classic shape, can work with jeans but will work with a dress or skirt as well. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031731 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 09:22:33 +0000 ManidipaM 1031731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked 4 on your pinterest board! But after further reading your concerns, will vote for red or cocoon. I think in opposite ways, each has a classic and a modern element. Colour and shape are the two aspects. The classic part of the equation should keep them going a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031730 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 09:22:03 +0000 dakotacheryl 1031730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #2, but will it be warm enough for your needs?</p> <p>#6 on the web site says it's "Velour"?? &nbsp;Would that fabric be a magnet for dog hair?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031675 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 05:56:45 +0000 CocoLion 1031675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all of the input, it's very helpful.<br />- #1 is impractical with the shorter sleeves, even on me they wouldn't be full length but it would be fun to try this on.<br />- #2, which is the only coat I've seen and touched in person, is not lined. &nbsp;It has a really nice classic yet avant garde quality that I think would span a few years. &nbsp;Of course the quality at nearly $700, more with tax -- is superb. &nbsp;Vince puts such a premium on their pieces! &nbsp;I like the mushroom color which would go with many things and hide dog dirty nicely.<br />- Angie keeps talking about the coat shape of the season and I think #7 is it. &nbsp;Being Zara the quality might be very hit and miss.<br />- #6 with its cocoon shape still looks modern to me but do you think that shape is actually a bit last two years? &nbsp;Or is it still trending. &nbsp;Anyone know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031671 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 05:41:00 +0000 Marley 1031671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 or #6.&nbsp; Both look gorgeous to me.&nbsp; I also love the pink one (#1) - and have studied it closely over the last couple of days (because I want a pink coat) - but the sleeves look as though they are only 3/4 length and I want a long-sleeve coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031662 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 05:22:55 +0000 LoveSarahDub 1031662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2 and #7! I think both are beautiful and will continue to work for many seasons to come, which is personally an important factor to me when it comes to choosing a coat! They both have a nice shape and can be worn dressed up or down!</p> <p>I would also choose based on which would work with any variety of topper you may choose to wear underneath it! I have a few coats that I love but barely wear since they only work with more form fitting tops, and who wants to be limited by their outerwear?! I'm sure you'll look awesome in any of your choices! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031661 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 05:22:34 +0000 Scarlet 1031661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For colors on you, I like 1,2, and 5. For shape I like the cocoon shape of 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031659 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 05:10:50 +0000 rae 1031659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 5, 6 and 7. I think those colors would look nice on you and I like the structure of them. I guess I like structure for cool weather because you don't get it from exposed wrists and necks. Sometimes the very unstructured ones feel like crazy cat lady coats (this coming from a certified crazy cat lady). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031652 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 04:58:34 +0000 Adelfa 1031652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the remaining five choices I like 2 and 7. They're so opposite because 2 is roomy and flowy and 7 is almost strict. I'd have to see them on over some of your characteristic outfits. I want to like 6 but it seems a bit cocoon-like to me--again, hard to tell from a pic.</p> <p>Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031649 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 04:56:32 +0000 jayne 1031649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 felt like you, casual yet sophisticated.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031643 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 04:41:36 +0000 kellygirl 1031643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 6 and 7 the best for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031624 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 03:48:35 +0000 annagybe 1031624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #6. It stood out to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-coat#post-1031620 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 03:45:45 +0000 CocoLion 1031620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia. &nbsp;I probably laid out too many choices. &nbsp;I just looked at them all again and #4 and #5 might be too classic for my taste, which leaves me with 5 choices.</p> <p>I want a very modern looking coat, one that I could wear for 3 seasons and it would not date. &nbsp;So that means two things: &nbsp;a style that might be ahead of the curve but not too trendy to look "so last year." &nbsp;I'm afraid that might rule out the pink coat. </p>
