The coat is a solid basic, IMO. *But* how a person styles it could be out of style. </p> <p>These days, this kind of coat must be deployed in *Tatooine* fashion, as in Luke Skywalker's desert home world. You know, that look which says *medieval peasant* and *I own goats and make soap* - albeit in the manner of Marie Antoinette - and yet is nonetheless considered modern.</p> <p>Ok. That sounds like I mock. But I ADORE this look. At the moment, I'm trying to find a couple of shifts in cotton voile under freeking $400, so I can do it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-out-of-style#post-683266 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:32:00 +0000 Angie 683266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This would depend entirely on how it fits, Glory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-out-of-style#post-683109 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 11:12:17 +0000 Deborah 683109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Glory, echoing the other comments. This style of coat is kind of timeless. I also think how you wear it and what you wear it with will dictate how fashionable or otherwise you will look in this. It looks like a great coat so glad you are keeping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-out-of-style#post-683020 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 21:10:05 +0000 Glory 683020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks - I wear it all the time but don't want to appear old and dated. Next up on the purge is bottoms. No more purchases until the cleansing is complete. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-out-of-style#post-683011 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:45:52 +0000 K. Period. 683011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree. Shearling (real or faux) coats are their own thing. They may be more in fashion or less, but they are never out of fashion. If the purge is only for in fashion/out of fashion, then this definitely should survive. If the purge is unworn and underutilized items, then it may be that it goes because it is not something you want cluttering up your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-out-of-style#post-683010 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:42:44 +0000 rae 683010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sort of reminds me of shearling, which was really in last season. Seems good to me if it still fits and flatters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-out-of-style#post-683005 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:36:45 +0000 catgirl 683005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April just articulated exactly what I was going to say. Only she said it better. It's a functional coat as well, so I'd keep it if you have use for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-out-of-style#post-683003 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:35:22 +0000 April 683003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say that it's not "out of style" because it's the kind of classic piece that doesn't really come into or out of style. Like the barn coats that LL Bean sells -- they never look dated, but they also don't reflect any particular trends. Know what I mean? Pieces like that are almost separate from fashion, which changes all the time. They don't look of-the-moment, and that also means they never look past-the-moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-out-of-style#post-682999 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:17:15 +0000 Glory 682999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, the closet clean/purge continues today with outerwear. This is a microsuede knee length coat. Is it still ok? </p>
