I prefer a slightly shorter coat, but I live in a pretty temperate climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-vintage-y-pink-trapeze-coat#post-1068490 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:17:02 +0000 Wendi1984 1068490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, my climate is not super cold. I am going to take the coat to a tailor and see how much it would cost to shorten it. I think it will be more wearable at the shorter length with more casual outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-vintage-y-pink-trapeze-coat#post-1068287 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 12:17:03 +0000 Thistle 1068287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you already have some great ideas!

I like longer coats in my freezing cold climate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-vintage-y-pink-trapeze-coat#post-1068283 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 12:13:27 +0000 Anonymous 1068283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-vintage-y-pink-trapeze-coat#post-1068273 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 12:04:43 +0000 Debra 1068273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds fantastic, what a find !!!!

Shortening it would make it more cheeky how much you ca n shorten it may be dictated by pocket placement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-vintage-y-pink-trapeze-coat#post-1068050 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 03:24:12 +0000 MsMary 1068050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think shortening it is a good idea because at the longer length it's A Whole Lotta Coat.&nbsp; I think your styling ideas sound great.&nbsp; Can't wait to see photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-vintage-y-pink-trapeze-coat#post-1067995 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 02:39:55 +0000 Wendi1984 1067995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tonight at the thrift score, I happened across a bright pink trapeze coat. I've been wanting a pink coat, and although I have never worn the trapeze style, I think it works. I will post a photo when I can, but in the meantime, I wanted to get some ideas about how to wear it. (When it gets cold, that is. It's 100% wool, and quite warm.)</p> <p>Until I can take a photo of my coat, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://img0.etsystatic.com/004/0/5446313/il_570xN.394850606_n16i.jpg">here's a pic I found of one very close</a> in style. Mine is a happy bright pink. I was thinking of skinny black jeans, leopard flats, and a black tunic. Or just for fun, over jeans and a white tee. I have been looking for the perfect black a-line dress, and when I find it, I think it'll look good with that, too. With kitten heels!&nbsp;Even if I don't get a lot of wear out of it, it was only $6. :-)</p> <p>Oh, and I have question. What do you think about having it shortened to mid-thigh? I feel like I would wear it more often at that length, and that seems like a more current length. I know that messes with the vintage vibe, though. (I'm not really sure how old the coat is. It definitely looks vintage, but it's in superb shape.)</p>
