If you're a size 8, I would suggest a size 8 in that coat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-too-youthful#post-1087385 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 20:13:37 +0000 Susie 1087385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got that coat and I think I love it! I got the cream. It is so soft and very comfortable. I agree with Angie that it probably won't be super warm but that's fine for me. </p> <p>Oh and I am 51 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-too-youthful#post-1087362 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 19:37:18 +0000 Kristin L 1087362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see the off-white as trying too hard to be youthful. I say try it. The only thing i'd be worried about is it being too warm, but that depends on where you are in the South (yay another southern girl!).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-too-youthful#post-1087357 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 19:32:53 +0000 Shirley 1087357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with joy. Depends on the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-too-youthful#post-1087350 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 19:18:42 +0000 DeniseP 1087350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, love your enthusiasm to "go for it!" While reading your comment, an old tv commercial popped in mind to "go for the gusto..."</p> <p>BethAnn, I do get "hung up" a little in the styling process, hence my concern. No black pets here, only a tabby cat!</p> <p> Angie, thanks for your help! I may try the off white coat because we have mIld winters here in southern US.<br /> Also adore the lime green one you posted! How vibrant and cheerful! I'm an hourglass so maybe it would work. Haven't tried TS sizing before, so would a size six work for my regular size eight since I'm not wild about oversized garments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-too-youthful#post-1087331 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 18:52:18 +0000 Angie 1087331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This coat made my roundups list. It's great, although narrow in the hip, so would not suggest it, if you are pear shaped. It's also not <i>that</i> warm, so excellent for a mild Winter climate. Totally age appropriate when worn with a sophisticated edge.&nbsp;</p> <p>This Topshop coat blew me away. It's an extremely good fit for a man coat. Again, not that warm, but excellent for a mild climate. And of course, these will need to be your colours. It took dicipline for me to walk away from the apple cream version. I walked away because I just bought a shocking pink man coat.</p> <p><b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/topshop-wool-blend-boyfriend-coat/3650451?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=0&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_1_C">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/to.....onalizedso</a><br /></b><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/topshop-oversized-wool-boyfriend-coat/3641674?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=2760&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_9_A">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/to.....personaliz</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-too-youthful#post-1087304 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 18:19:27 +0000 Beth Ann 1087304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In off-white, I think the look is all in the styling, and not too youthful.&nbsp; Just don't try if you have a big black dog --- or cat.&nbsp; I speak from sad experience! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-too-youthful#post-1087300 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 18:10:21 +0000 Anonymous 1087300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it. The pink and blue look more girlish and possibly too youthful than the white or black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-coat-too-youthful#post-1087296 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 18:02:54 +0000 DeniseP 1087296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, still in the hunt for a peacoat and came across this:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/topshop-teddy-faux-fur-peacoat/3599493?origin=related-3599493-null-1-2-FTR-RR&#038;PageCategoryId=SR" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/to.....egoryId=SR</a></p> <p>My style is mostly classic, and this is more vintage/retro, but would it be a fun piece to wear or too youthful for an older person? I only like the off-white color. </p>
