That fit is very on trend and the colour suits you beautifully. I vote KEEP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat/page/2#post-2351348 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 03:19:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2351348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, Lisa--yes, I think the quality is really good, especially for the price. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>cjh, very interesting point. I'm not sure how I think about almost-good fit. I guess maybe similar to what you describe. I did decide to keep the coat, and I wore it yesterday!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat/page/2#post-2351305 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 01:17:05 +0000 cjh 2351305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you decided on the coat? It is very cool and I recommend keeping if you feel the fit is not just okay but fab.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>My experience with almost okay fit becomes more frustrating with the more unique and interesting the piece. It might not be how everyone else thinks but I can tolerate an almost great fitting everyday top or windbreaker, for example, but a showstopper has to be good in everything or it doesn’t feel good.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat/page/2#post-2351270 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 21:33:40 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2351270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colors on you. And I like Sézane, too. I've been meaning to write a sweater review, since I think their pieces are more well made than those of many other brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351161 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 22:07:10 +0000 Jonesy 2351161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!!

The color, the shape and the fit are fab on you. I hope that you keep it. What a fun cozy coat!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351109 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 13:48:21 +0000 RobinF 2351109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will agree with all the previous comments. Great coat, I love the shape of it and the color looks great with your hair. Keep!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351098 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 12:39:38 +0000 Dee 2351098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first impression was Fab!! It might not be your usual colour but it still looks great on you with your hair coloring . Its neutral enough, cozy looking, perfectly oversized and its chic casual styling totally suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351090 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 10:54:41 +0000 Ket 2351090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh keep!!!!! I think it’s utterly sensational on you! I get early Audrey Hepburn vibes for some reason. It’s very 50s yet 90s yet modern and now. I even like the collar flipped up on you. Though, it might not feel comfortable? But it looks great. I would reward your instincts: Keep, enjoy, and wear it for years to come. It has longevity, even with the oversized fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351079 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 04:28:05 +0000 Lee 2351079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP!! Very jaunty! Looks super spiffy on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351074 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 04:01:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2351074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I appreciate everyone's thoughts and comments. You are kind of<br /> confirming my initial draw to the coat, and I'm feeling a bit better<br /> about the color, too. I really didn't think that much about the oversized nature of it until my husband made his comment. Ha!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>avicennia, you have a good point about the photos. I almost went outside to try to get a selfie, but something intervened. I will try to get out tomorrow and get a shot of it in daylight! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Bijou, I think this coat tugs at my nostalgia for 80s styles, too. I hadn't thought of it in that context.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jaime, thanks for your comment. I will say, I imagine wearing the coat with different pants sometimes, but I will probably keep my hair. Haha!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Suz, it feels as cozy as it looks! <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351072 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 03:22:03 +0000 Suz 2351072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you! I think the size is probably right, in that intentionally oversized way, and it is different from your other coats. Cozy looking. Of course I love the stripe and also the overall texture, which I think helps make the colour work for you. If you will be happy in it, keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351068 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 03:17:50 +0000 Sal 2351068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it - it is oversized but that's the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351066 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 03:13:57 +0000 Bijou 2351066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it and prefer this style to be a bit oversized - but that is my love of the 1980's coming through! Fun to have something different to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351061 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 02:22:39 +0000 Jaime 2351061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love it but must say that the jeans and your hair are a big part of it. So if I zero in on the coat I would say that I love the boxy shape with the flares and the vibe, but ok maybe try the smaller size? But I kind of like it a bit oversized. Great pick and styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351060 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 02:19:34 +0000 avicennia 2351060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is the only photo that gives a good sense of your skin tone against the fabric. It’s not a great photo and the lighting might be off. But I do understand your concern about color. I’d also be wondering if the color made my skin tone look sallow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351059 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 02:17:26 +0000 Aquamarine 2351059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it too! It’s a statement piece for sure. It’s nice to get some fresh outerwear this time of year. The lighter color, which I think works for you, feels appropriate for late winter. Size seems good to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351058 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 02:10:00 +0000 Karie 2351058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! And I think the size is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351057 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 01:42:39 +0000 Bonnie 2351057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, too, and it looks perfect for cold weather. The color is very flattering on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351054 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 01:28:46 +0000 rachylou 2351054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it and think the colour is very flattering. I do hear your concerns about it being bulky, but it's a style as Angie says. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351053 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 01:10:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2351053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Brooklyn! Since you mentioned the texture, I'll add that it is bouclé, which is what gives it a kind of fuzzy look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351052 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 01:09:47 +0000 Brooklyn 2351052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great. I love the collar, the colour and texture. It’s a really standout piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351051 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 01:09:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2351051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks Helena--I like this kind of style for that reason--no worries about what layers will fit under it.</div><div>And Irina, you are so good with stylish oversized looks, thank you for your thoughts. </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351050 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 00:35:43 +0000 Irina 2351050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fab!

And I think a little big is sensible so it's comfortable over thicker sweaters etc. Sorry Mr. Firecracker but I vote keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351048 Mon, 29 Jan 2024 23:49:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2351048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, Olive Green. That's actually my closet where I took the pics! haha!</div><div>That skirt IS cute, Angie.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-striped-wool-coat#post-2351047 Mon, 29 Jan 2024 23:47:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2351047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, Angie. I felt it is a good oversized fit, so I appreciate your confirmation. (I did say that to hubs, and he was okay with that; it's just his initial reaction was that it is big.) It was on sale, and I think it's sold out now, so I can't order a size down. <br /></div><div>And yes, I've been to the store at U Village in Seattle, and got a cute cropped sweater-jacket, the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.sezane.com/us/product/betty-cardigan/sage#size-XXS">Betty Cardigan in sage</a>.&nbsp; They told us the store is a pop-up and will be gone in March! Something else will go in there. <br /></div> </p>
