I noticed Angie really likes #1 and i wonder if what bottoms you wear most frequently has anything to do with it? That one really does look best with your bootcuts, but if you wore dresses would a longer length be better? I'm at a loss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850730 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 14:53:55 +0000 Angie 850730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 gets my vote hands down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850728 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 14:52:11 +0000 Tina.b 850728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My preference is number two by a mile. I love the shape of that coat and it is super flattering on you. My only concern on that one is the colour, but I can't see here how it plays with your skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850722 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 14:39:22 +0000 cinnamon fern 850722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that I've read Scarlet's comment, do you have a picture of 2 standing like in 4? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850653 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 09:07:22 +0000 Scarlet 850653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you need to watch that the lapels aren't too wide and that a straighter shape (as posed to flaring out on the bottom) suits your style better. I like 2 on you the best, but I can't see the lapels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850549 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 03:38:56 +0000 Sarah A 850549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, I liked the further apart buttons of #3 and you like the closer together buttons of #1. I think both 1 &amp; 3 look quite nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850535 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 03:25:20 +0000 Suz 850535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I immediately ruled out #4. I would say it is between 2 and 3, but each has some advantages....hard to say from just these pics. In other words, I am no help at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850472 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 01:39:03 +0000 Anonymous 850472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no help as I like them all except 4.<br /> I have a Calvin Klein short trench in blue that I love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850463 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 01:32:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 850463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 best - it seems to have a "crisper" fit , for lack of a better term. Unfortunately I have a bit of a poisoned eye for beige trenches though - I find it such a hard colour to wear well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850460 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 01:30:54 +0000 sarah 850460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 3, with a slight preference for 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850458 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 01:30:36 +0000 Mochi 850458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just on an instantaneous assessment, I liked 3 best, but it's hard to say why. Helpful, eh? Maybe the length just seemed "righter." 4 was my least favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850362 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 23:12:42 +0000 rae 850362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might try Yoox, if you aren't exhausted by the hunt yet. if you filter by full length jackets they have a lot of options and a lot on sale too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850353 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 23:00:26 +0000 cinnamon fern 850353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 the best too, and I like it a lot. I don't see that it's too long - you look really long-legged in #2 - but maybe you think it's too long for practical rather than aesthetic reasons? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850297 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:57:59 +0000 kellygirl 850297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second one the best. It looks sleek and I like that the buttons are closer together, the length and the not so wide collar. It looks a little on the yellow side though. Not sure if that is good or bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850288 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:46:13 +0000 tarzy 850288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Rae. I agree!<br /> I like #1 best for fit - I like that the buttons are closer together, and I really like the length. I'm just not sure about the color.<br /> #2 was the best quality, but I think it's a little long.<br /> #3 is "eh" to me - the details just aren't as great as #2, and I worry the color might be too light.<br /> #4 is my least favorite for fit and style. That one went right back!<br /> I'm thinking I might just wait until next year, since the rainy season is almost over in LA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850282 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:35:01 +0000 rae 850282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I think I like 3 best, or maybe 1, but it's hard to see the fit in #1 because of the pose. I prefer the pinky-toned beiges to the yellow-toned beige of #2. I don't like how #4 fits in the bust, and the single breasted cut feels off for some reason... it's not quite that classic trench cut... hm, and do I want to say it feels a bit retro, which doesn't seem to fit with your style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches#post-850261 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:09:08 +0000 tarzy 850261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still searching for my perfect trench... can you help me figure out which of these styles looks best on me &amp; why?<br /> (All tried over the last few months &amp; returned.)<br /> Thanks so much!</p> <p>1 - Calvin Klein<br /> 2 - J. Crew Icon<br /> 3 - Banana Republic<br /> 4 - Single Breasted Michael Kors (don't know why I buckled - I prefer to tie!) </p>
