And the color and pattern and cut are more classic than super trendy.</p> <p>With colors, definitely black and charcoal greys. I personally don't do alot of brown, so I really don't see it with browns. Maybe a rich chocolate or mahoganny? And blue and deep burgundy. The Nordstrom site shows it with plaid pants - so there's some pattern mixing!</p> <p>Depending on the weight, I don't know how it would work as an indoor layer. At this length and style, it looks a teeny bit bathrobe-y. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-1#post-1849077 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 16:29:23 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1849077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Angie</b>! That's exactly what I was hoping to hear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-1#post-1849055 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 15:48:27 +0000 Angie 1849055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>fashiontern</b>, I'm sorry about the blog posting problem. Greg will look into it as soon as he can. Very annoying.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the DVF sweater coat is worth a look. Very different for you, and won't date. I can't attest to the irritability of the wool other than that I am sensitive to that - and it was fine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-1#post-1849049 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 15:33:48 +0000 Emily K 1849049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, the DvF looks inconsistent with the other clothing you've shown us, although I know you are trying to make a change and what you've shown us isn't necessarily representative of where you want to end up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-1#post-1849039 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 15:02:57 +0000 Thistle 1849039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's your normal weather like? I guess a DVF wouldn't appeal to me unless I could wear the heck out of it.</p> <p>Of course, your budget may be larger than mine </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jackets-1#post-1849017 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 14:10:18 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1849017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure if this is&nbsp; 'dressing" question or a "shopping" one. It's mostly a response to the blog post, because my comments aren't showing up. Angie, I hope you read it!</p> <p>I have a crazy odd assortment of jackets I need to go through. This post will be helpful in making decisions. I'm glad there are several shorter length pieces included, because that's what I generally prefer to wear. </p> <p>But that DvF intrigues me. It looks like it would be a good winter coat in the approx 2 months of highs in the low 40s to mid 60s we get here, for fall commuting if I succeed in moving to a 4-season climate, and and for chilly offices everywhere. Is it likely to wear well and remain stylish enough for a long time (a decade or so)? How finished is the wool? (Important because Merino or other wool sweaters tickle my nose so badly that I got rid of most when I lived in a place with real winter, but I'm fine with four-season wool or a wool pea coat). It looks very versatile, in terms of dressing it up or down and wearing it with many lengths of skirts and pants. Would it work well with black, charcoal, and various shades of brown? </p>
