Yes, I can see that a red one would look gorgeous on you from a color flattery perspective, but from classic-ness and versatility, I really like this. To me those characteristics are more important in a coat, as you can always deal with color flattery based on what you have under it (e.g. a gorgeous red turtileneck) or over it (e.g. a gorgeous red scarf). I think something this classic is easier to update based on the color or style of the season - and to me personally, I'd feel limited with a bright colored coat (but that is a personal style issue ...)</p> <p>So - if you love it - I'm offering up&nbsp;a hearty vote for the&nbsp;'keep' column - however, if you don't, then as always I say wait for something you are happier with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425965 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 21:21:28 +0000 Anonymous 1425965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color does absolutely nothing for you. Get a red one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425964 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 21:20:46 +0000 Astrid 1425964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too. I think it's classic and neutral and I think it looks good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425944 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 21:00:33 +0000 rachylou 1425944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. I find you very beautiful in it, the colour. I think you are much prettier in this than in the red sweater.</p> <p>I'm a spanner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425937 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 20:51:17 +0000 Sveta 1425937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth - great minds...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425930 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 20:48:09 +0000 Sveta 1425930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mona, I have seen some red trenches at Costco - I think Calvin Klein? I think they are worth a look - they have a removable hood which is always a bonus! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425858 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 18:42:03 +0000 Stacyanderic 1425858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think it fits you quite well, esp if you tie the waist a little tighter. i like how the sleeves fit/the length seems good, and the v of the neckline will always show what you're wearing for a bit more color! Maybe it's just me but I lik this color and how it goes with so many other colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425856 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 18:38:34 +0000 Diana 1425856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think you need a red trench coat!&nbsp; The fit on this one looks fine, although visually I think it might <i>look<b> </b></i>nicer if the buttons were slightly closer together.&nbsp; <i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425854 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 18:32:27 +0000 catgirl 1425854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm biased because this color looks awful on me. I say go for a bright instead - could be a classic bright like red or unconventional like citron but would be lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425790 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 16:36:28 +0000 abc 1425790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming in, I am in another country but our local Costco just got trench coats in too, and we had a red version as well as a very pretty blue which followed me home :)</p> <p>Good luck, I think you can do better. &nbsp;It's the coat, not you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425787 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 16:32:35 +0000 Mona 1425787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fabric is definitely stiff which I think is how it should be for the trench coats. I think I will return and keep my eye out for a brighter colour. <br />ElizabethP, I have Costco memebership but our store is usually not as well stocked as some of the other locations. I will check when I go next time. Red trench would be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425570 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 05:07:33 +0000 Gigi 1425570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Joy. This is OK but not great. I vote to return until you find something that you are excited about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425512 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 03:03:55 +0000 Anonymous 1425512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not bad it not great either. I think you can find something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425511 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 03:02:58 +0000 Elizabeth P 1425511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. I just looked at your red sweater post, and had a lightbulb moment. Do you have a Costco membership? Because they just got in their trench coats, and they have them in red. You should see if they fit you. I got one a couple of years ago, it's a great coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425510 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 03:02:19 +0000 ElleH 1425510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, i was shown at Burberry how to knot the stiff belt on my trench. Maybe you could pop into a Burberry store &amp; try on a coat &amp; ask them to show you how to do it. The Prorsum double cotton is the stiff heavy fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425509 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 03:00:35 +0000 ElleH 1425509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fine on my ipad but I don't know IRL. Fit is good too. Angie always knows best though so I'd listen to her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425505 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 02:54:09 +0000 Elizabeth P 1425505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to add my voice to the list... It's not the best on you. IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425497 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 02:48:27 +0000 Suz 1425497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And if it is made from the fabric that Mr. Suz's BR trench is made from, knotting will be darned tricky -- it's quite a stiff fabric and doesn't knot all that well. (His, I mean; I don't know about Mona's).&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't hate this colour on you, but I don't love it, Mona. Knowing you, you could style it well -- with white for sure, but you could also wear a citron or bright red scarf. But. Having said that....they might make a similar coat in a different colour this spring, so can you wait to see?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425439 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 01:10:56 +0000 Angie 1425439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not fond of that colour against your complexion, Mona. Unless you wear it with lots of white, which limits your options.&nbsp;</p> <p>The size looks good, but the belt is suppose to be knotted - that's why it's so long.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425415 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:41:09 +0000 jackiec 1425415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I really don't think it's bad. It's the colour of a trench coat, KWIM? So if that's what you're looking for then I think it's good. Keep in mind I'm terrible with trench coats. I have never owned one so I'm not the best judge </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425397 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:26:23 +0000 Jaime 1425397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot in these pictures, but am particularly bad at judging colors on my computer screen. I totally understand about the size thing - I am going for the overall impression, which works to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425395 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:21:02 +0000 Mona 1425395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered a size up as I wanted to be able to wear it over sweaters etc. My usual medium size was a little bit snug in the shoulders. The colour does not sing to me but it is really hard to find any other colour in stores here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425389 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:12:53 +0000 jackiec 1425389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. It's definitely a useful neutral to have. But I'm not loving the colour 100% on you. It seems a little uninteresting. I have to say I agree with Thistle. Just MHO.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425382 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:09:39 +0000 Thistle 1425382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a fan of it. Your coloring screams for a gorgeous citron or magenta&nbsp; As for fit, it looks too big.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425380 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:07:37 +0000 missvee 1425380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the colour washes you out at all. It looks like a nice warm cashew colour to me, well suited to your colouring. I'm not sure about the fit though - it's good on the shoulders and a great length, but it seems a tad wide through the middle. Maybe you could move the buttons over a little bit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trench-coat-1#post-1425366 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 23:41:30 +0000 Mona 1425366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this trench coat from BR recently and wondering if I should keep or return. What do you all think of the fit? Does the colour wash me out?&nbsp; </p>
