It arrived last night. I thought it *might* possibly be a bit more jacket weight, to wear as kind of a long blazer/jacket, but I think it might be a little warm for me for that. You and I are in very similar climates</p> <p>But anyway, getting the topic to how it looks on you! I think it looks good, fitwise. I like the style a lot -- it's simple and classic, but modern. Love the subtle pattern too. </p> <p>What size did you get? I got the M and it seems perhaps a little roomy, especially in the shoulders and the top, but I need to try it on again over a sweater and look at it as a coat, not a jacket. I also have a good bit of room through the waist and a little in the hip too, so it's possible I could go down a size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---angies-pick-coat#post-1392483 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 18:15:18 +0000 Suz 1392483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous coat! Is the fit meant to be boxy or tailored? I wonder if it would be worth ordering a size down to compare. It looks really good on you if it is not too big.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---angies-pick-coat#post-1392482 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 18:12:23 +0000 cinnamon fern 1392482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! &nbsp;I should have said that I'm actually wearing a blazer under the coat in these pictures ... so maybe it's too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---angies-pick-coat#post-1392467 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:47:40 +0000 kkards 1392467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;if you hadn't included #2, i wouldn't even have thought about this coat being too big.....in picture #1 the fit looks good to me. but i should also add that i like to be able to layer a sweater or blazer under my winter coats. i 2nd Laura's suggestion of trying it on with jeans and a sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---angies-pick-coat#post-1392456 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:22:10 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1392456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely coat. It does look a little roomy through the body, but you're likely wearing yoga clothes so if you were wearing something less form fitting it'd be less obvious. I'd try it on w a sweater and jeans before you make your final decision, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---angies-pick-coat#post-1392447 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:13:49 +0000 cinnamon fern 1392447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this the wool coat for me?&nbsp;</p> <p>pro: <ul> <li>I like the plaid a lot. &nbsp;</li> <li>It's the right level of warmth for mild VA winters. &nbsp;I want a coat that won't feel like too much when it's in the 40s (5-10 celsius). &nbsp;I have a puffer for the rare cold snap or trip up north.</li> <li>The construction is good, the fabric quality is perfectly acceptable at this price point.</li> </ul> con: <ul> <li>How's the fit? &nbsp;Should it have a little more relation to my actual waist and hip? &nbsp;I couldn't size down and still move my arms normally.</li> </ul> Excuse the rest of the outfit and the hair - I just got home from yoga!</p>
