(now the people i hang with would never recognize it, but i don't know the crowd you run with) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671493 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 14:38:41 +0000 Anonymous 1671493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a classic statement piece for sure. I really like it. It has a great vibe. How many things can you wear it with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671402 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:18:27 +0000 El Cee 1671402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A beautiful classic statement coat -- I do not see it dating.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671387 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:03:20 +0000 Windchime 1671387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab coat! I, too, love your idea of wearing it with jeans. I really don't know about the dating question. Lace is having a moment right now, to be sure. On the other hand, the coat is a Burberry, and they are classics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671379 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 11:47:31 +0000 Bijou 1671379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great on you - the fit is perfect. I have a Burberry trench that has no signs of wear despite being in regular rotation in cooler month. I vote yes to this piece and love that you will wear it with denim regularly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671373 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 11:37:57 +0000 unfrumped 1671373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Beth said. I mean, I wouldn't get it just because its Burberry.<br /> I actually think it looks a little heavy in the lace ( which in one way is a good thing) and I probably would not have rendered that fabric in a snugly belted trench silhouette. And yet, perhaps that is the inventive aspect of its appeal- counterintuitive and all that.<br /> So I think if it's really YOU and expresses something in your style and with other things in your wardrobe, then go for it. I just say this because I've had "imaginary -style goggles" as well as other goggles when faced with either sales, limited- time opportunities and such. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671344 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:58:08 +0000 gradfashionista 1671344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear that's a classic with a nice twist. </p> <p>Angie, I didn't think of the snagging issue, although I wondered if wearing a belt would cause the lining to pill or wear out. The lining is stretch silk. This would be an everyday coat for me, a way of adding a feminine touch to my usual somewhat tomboyish denim outfits. </p> <p>Lisa, guilty on the Buberry charge. I'm a shameless BB fan girl not only because of their designs, but because their trenches can nicely accommodate my narrow but proportionally large shoulders and upper arms, which have outgrown J. Crew, Danier, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671256 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 04:33:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1671256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, I meant "all-over lace." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671211 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 02:48:33 +0000 Colette 1671211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous classic coat!

It stands apart from trend, is very classic and the lace is such a statement.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671075 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 23:58:21 +0000 Vildy 1671075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the product photo, I wasn't loving it but the picture of you wearing it is amazing. Love that maximal texture. Looks more apocalyptic than goody goody, if I'm expressing myself correctly. This is an incredible garment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671052 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 23:30:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1671052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a classic that will have longevity. The trench style is a classic one--nothing trendy about the cut of this one--and over lace waxes and wanes in popularity, but it tends to stay around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671028 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 23:02:12 +0000 Brooklyn 1671028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is more a statement piece than a trendy piece. The style is quite classic. I don't see it as dating quickly but, like any statement piece, you might tire of it eventually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671026 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 23:00:36 +0000 Anonymous 1671026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this a Burberry - it looks familiar.......?</p> <p>Regardless, no , a total classic and a gorgeous coat at that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671017 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 22:48:03 +0000 Aida 1671017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for "won't date" because of the classic style with unique-but-classic fabrication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1671001 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 22:28:46 +0000 Joyce B 1671001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that coat and the way you styled it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1670954 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 21:16:16 +0000 Suz 1670954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a really amazing coat! I don't think it will date because of the classic style. I do think it's a coat you wouldn't wear a lot in one season but when you had an opportunity to wear it, you'd be so glad to have it. Where is it from?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1670953 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 21:14:50 +0000 Angie 1670953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will stand the test of time as long as you don't get that lace caught and snagged in everyday life.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1670950 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 21:12:51 +0000 RobinF 1670950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it would get dated because of the classic style. The lace makes it interesting to me but I agree it would have to be with the right outfits which could limit it somewhat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1670932 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 21:01:33 +0000 rachylou 1670932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's pretty unique. I don't think it will date. I feel like I've seen something like it recently tho...last year you say? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1670925 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 20:51:28 +0000 rabbit 1670925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Janet. &nbsp;I have a statement trench with embroidery, and I love it, but find it difficult to wear except with particular accompaniments -- so I really have to make a concerted effort to wear it. &nbsp;It's not a 'goes with everything' kind of thing in my experience because the texture reads as less casual or neutral. &nbsp;</p> <p>Yours looks retro in a 70's way a bit because of the embroidery color and pattern, but in a modern classic shape. &nbsp; I'd try it on with various outfits to estimate if you would be able to get the wear you wanted out of it per year. &nbsp;It could look really great with the right outfits, but maybe not with all outfits.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1670913 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 20:40:38 +0000 Janet 1670913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cut is so classic I doubt it would date. The lace is a nice treatment that doesn't seem particularly trendy so much as unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1670894 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 20:30:09 +0000 Ledonna N. 1670894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot answer dated question but I know that it looks classic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1670888 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 20:20:17 +0000 gradfashionista 1670888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actual lace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1670878 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 20:11:12 +0000 deb 1670878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure. Is it actual lace or a lace pattern fabric? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-dated-will-this-coat-me#post-1670869 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 19:56:30 +0000 gradfashionista 1670869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is from the last season. It doesn't strike me as horribly trendy, because it has this vintage look (to my untrained eye). That said, is this something that could be worn for years to come without looking horribly dated? </p>
