I especially like the several rows of buttons. Let us know how it works out. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-883243 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:20:24 +0000 Tina.b 883243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you everyone for your wise words and advice. I do really like it, and when I look at all the other Burberry trenches online, this one beats them hands down in my mind. It was everything I wanted in a trench. Perhaps I'm just unenthused as I know I won't be able to wear it for a while. And my mood has been affected by some other stressors we are dealing with (my Dad's health).<br /><br />Una, I love the coat you posted. So much in fact, that I already have almost the same one, lol. The only difference is that my Burberry utility doesn't have the asymmetrical zip. But it is navy, close to the same length and has lots of zips. I wear it a ton in the spring and fall, definitely my go to jacket. I think you might need the asymmetrical&nbsp;jacket yourself as I can attest to it being a real workhorse piece! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-883235 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:14:35 +0000 rachylou 883235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ No, I don't love it, although I really like the colour. What I don't like is the shoulder fit, and I think that would get worse when you size up, and I don't like the way the leather straps crumple the sleeves. I feel a Burberry trench should be SHARP, and this is not that sharp.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-883222 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:04:22 +0000 Mona 883222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great trench, Tina. Definitely try up a size. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-883212 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:57:55 +0000 kellygirl 883212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It is gorgeous and I hope you try the size up. It really suits your polished style! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-883201 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:44:21 +0000 kkards 883201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ l thought it fit ok, but with outerwear its hard to tell from a picture. one thing i can say about burberrry, their sizing is inconsitant. i have a coat from a few years ago that's a size 4. at christmas time i found a trench on sale at nordstroms&nbsp;in a size 8, that fit as well. keep trying different sizes. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-883162 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:13:04 +0000 catgirl 883162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it's quite fab on you, but if you don't love it, you should look for something else.&nbsp; Did you see this one, which I LOVE?<br /><br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/burberry-london-asymmetrical-taffeta-trench-coat/3412434?origin=wishlist" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bu.....n=wishlist</a> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-883160 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:11:21 +0000 Ariadne 883160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just the other day I was thinking about what my ideal trench coat would like like, and, I kid you not,&nbsp;I pictured this exact trench, only in a lighter colour. &nbsp;I didn't know it already existed in real life! &nbsp;So be aware that I'm incredibly biased when I say I think you should definitely try it in one size up. &nbsp;That way I can enjoy it vicariously through you https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882923 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:05:12 +0000 Glory 882923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I would size up and then decide as long as it is returnable. I love the colour and style for you. I think the colour can be used through the seasons. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882831 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:09:59 +0000 harmonica 882831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it a lot! Size up and make a post ;-)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882811 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 07:55:11 +0000 Hil 882811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Loads of potential! You can always send the upsized one back!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882785 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 05:30:48 +0000 Diana 882785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tina, I think it actually looks great as is, but obviously if it feels too snug then go a size up.&nbsp; It needs to be comfortable AND you need to love it, otherwise you won't wear it.&nbsp; I really like the olive color on you.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882717 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 03:23:25 +0000 Tanya 882717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The trench looks&nbsp;stunning&nbsp;on you, but I&nbsp;believe&nbsp;that you feel it is a tad snug. &nbsp;I would try a size up for sure, but if it doesn't completely wow, than I would wait for &nbsp;a better one. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882652 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 02:12:15 +0000 Echo 882652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I adore Burberry trenches, and they have so many varieties that if you are not &nbsp;completely delighted with this one, then wait. There WILL be another that will steal your heart. While I like the look of this one, I am not wowed by it, either. The fit looks fine, but it needs to be comfortable, too. I have just invested in too many pieces that I thought would be functional and get a lot of wear, but if the love isn't there, then things just don't get worn as much as I had planned. Wait until you find a happiness factor 10. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882630 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 02:00:42 +0000 Jaime 882630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a mental block about trenches. I love them on others but hate them on me and therefore cannot trust my judgment. Nonetheless, it wouldn't hurt to order the size up, but if it is not thrilling I think you should look for one that is.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882627 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 01:56:20 +0000 Angie 882627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Size up! It has great potential. I like the way it hangs open.&nbsp;<br /><br />Wear it with your white jeans and light boots for Spring.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882577 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 01:17:41 +0000 merwoman 882577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I see no snugness, shoulders look good, sleeve length looks good as well.<br />Love the colour on you- such a sophisticated neutral - and looks gorgeous with the lavender top you are wearing.<br />For the investment you are making you deserve to be 100% happy - definitely try the size up. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882568 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 01:11:00 +0000 Aida 882568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with others that it's worth trying your regular size first. Love that olive shade! It looks fab done up, and if you mostly wear it that way I think you shouldn't worry about the open look; it'll be hard to get a double-breasted trench to hang open any nicer, though the larger size might drape a bit better. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882562 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 01:06:42 +0000 Tina.b 882562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ BJ, underneath I would likely wear a blouse, perhaps a light sweater. I would not wear it with a heavy sweater or a jacket underneath.<br /><br />Zap, I generally prefer my coats snug as well (probably all my clothes in all honesty, ensue forum horror ). But this one was really pushing it, for a moment I was concerned that I wouldn't even be able to do it up. Denise, I was surprised to see in&nbsp;the photos that it didn't appear as tight as it actually is. I think one size up will still look very sleek and fitted.<br /><br />My other Burberry trench is too big and I feel super frumpy in it. I bought it in the year after I had my last baby. I really need to take it to the tailor. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882373 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 22:14:48 +0000 Anonymous 882373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I wanted to add that I buy my trenches to fit me just like this one looks at the moment. I did not bring it up earlier because I know most people here would consider my coats a bit too snug. I don't like roomy coats. I feel very frumpy on them.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882362 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:55:18 +0000 rae 882362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you should wait to decide once you've tried it in your real size. Then you won't have to wonder "what if." If you don't, you may always wonder if your lack of enthusiasm was because of the off fit. If it still underwhelms you in the correct size, you can move on. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882361 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:50:55 +0000 CocoLion 882361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Before reading your last two paragraphs, I looked at the pictures. &nbsp;I love the way this looks in #1. &nbsp;The fit looks great to me. &nbsp;Double breasted&nbsp;coats are tricky when &nbsp;opened, but I also liked the way this looks in #2 and #3.<br /><br />Then I read that you feel it doesn't fit well. &nbsp;And that you're having second thoughts.<br /><br />If you don't love it, then don't keep it. &nbsp;But I think it looks fantastic on you, in this size. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882356 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:42:19 +0000 hedgiehog 882356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I actually like the way it looks on you. Perhaps you will feel differently when you get the proper size. Echoing Thistle, however, don't keep it unless you love it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882348 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:35:34 +0000 Raisin 882348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I do love the color, which looks great on you. &nbsp;I would say try the size up, maybe your disappointment is in the fact that it's too small. &nbsp;But, do not keep it if the size up doesn't wow you either.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882346 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:32:45 +0000 bj1111 882346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ am with zap...try a size up. &nbsp;what will you wear underneath? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882344 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:30:49 +0000 Anonymous 882344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it. I think you should check the size up. I am actually saving for a Burberry right now. I would love something like this. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882339 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:28:37 +0000 Thistle 882339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you don't love it now, you are never going to love it. They say you like an article best when you first purchase it. For such a large purchase, I would say wait until you find something you love and are super excited to wear. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat#post-882328 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:16:57 +0000 Tina.b 882328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've spent the last several months obsessing over this Burberry trench. I initially saw it online and then I ran across it in LV (but not in my size so I couldn't try it on). I already have a Burberry trench in a kind of stone colour. But it is not my best colour, and it also has a stain that no cleaner has managed to get out. The only person who would notice that is me, but it bugs me. I still wear it, but it has lost its lustre a bit.<br /><br />So I wanted a darker one. I love this colour, not really springish, but it would be used both spring and fall. Then it arrived and it was too small. But now I'm not loving it as much as I thought I would. Perhaps I built it up too much in my mind, maybe I was irritated that it didn't fit. Or maybe it is not as fabulous and flattering as I had hoped. I still kind of love it and I know that I would wear it. &nbsp;I think the double leather wrist straps are great and the numerous buttons are fun. It hangs kind of weird when open, but I usually wear my trenches done up.<br /><br />I am returning this one, but wonder if I should order a size up? Or if I should perhaps look for something else. Would appreciate all your honest feedback and advice. Envision me in a size larger. :)<br /><br />
