Period. 901144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The trench is great and I adore the color. Red is my favorite non-neutral neutral. &nbsp;What a fun way to add personality to everything! &nbsp;The black leather jacket looks really nice to me too. The brown one looks a little fitted buttoned up and it looks maybe a smidge dated to me. Not out of style, but not super stylish either. I would let that one go. After all, you have "red" in your closet now! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-901137 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 03:03:45 +0000 Debora 901137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The fit of&nbsp;trench looks good to me and the color is so beautiful. KEEP!&nbsp;<br /><br />What Angie said about the other two. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-901112 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 02:18:32 +0000 carolbee 901112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, the trench looks great. &nbsp;I'm not a fan of the brown jacket but tbe black is cute so if you can wear it unzipped then keep wearing it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-901071 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 01:38:22 +0000 Liz A. 901071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You're probably right, Shevia. &nbsp;That particular jacket is about 7 or 8 years old. &nbsp;I actually bought it at the book store in grad school. &nbsp;I guess I'll keep it around for now. &nbsp;The "leather" jacket is faux, but I'm glad it's convincing in pictures. &nbsp;I do wish I had that one in medium instead of small. &nbsp;It's 3 or 4 years old as well. &nbsp;I can zip it but it comes unzipped on its own, so it's staying open for the time being.<br /><br />As for the trench, I don't notice any bunching that I would consider unsightly when it's belted. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-901029 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 00:51:17 +0000 Jaime 901029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The trench color is gorgeous and it looks great to me. I like the leather jacket on you. I don't think the brown one in #4&nbsp;is up to the level of the trench and leather. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-901000 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 00:01:07 +0000 rae 901000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them all! If you can't even get a thick sweater under the small, tht is no good. For the jackets, I think they are also good if you can go about your day. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-900944 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:52:36 +0000 Thistle 900944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oooh, I like the trench. &nbsp;Such a vibrant color, and the fit looks good. &nbsp;I think you chose the right size as I would want the extra room for layers. &nbsp;Spring can be so finicky!&nbsp;<br /><br />Like the leather jacket, and I like it open a lot. More comfortable and it creates a nice long line. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-900938 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:43:48 +0000 Angie 900938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The fit of the trench looks PERFECT in #2! Is there lots of scrunched fabric at the back? Looks like you bought the right size from what I can gather from the photo. <br /><br />You can also leave the jackets open for extra comfort. The leather jacket looks great! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-900929 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:20:47 +0000 missvee 900929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The trench looks just fine on the shoulders so I think you got the correct size. The fabric has enough drape that when you belt it in there's no bunchiness either. I love the colour - so cheery for spring.<br />your other jackets look just fine too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-900928 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:17:31 +0000 Liz A. 900928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I know, isn't the color great?! &nbsp;I've recently discovered this blue red is my best red. &nbsp;That's why I really went for this coat. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-900920 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:08:00 +0000 hedgiehog 900920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the trench is fine. IMO, It seems to fit well in the shoulders and the extra material is a bit necessary for layering. The belt finches it in and it looks great! The colour is just beautiful and sings Spring! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-900918 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:04:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 900918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you got the trench in the correct size. You need room underneath to layer a blazer IMO and the belt pulls in any extra fabric around the middle. My recent trench borders on too large in the shoulders too - until I put a blazer on underneath and then it's fine.<br /><br />I don't like a trench or outerwear jacket that is too tight - I need to be able to reach up or down and be able to move my arms freely.<br /><br />The colour is gorgeous BTW! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-900908 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 21:55:52 +0000 Liz A. 900908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Caro. &nbsp;Yes, I'm definitely keeping the bomber for now. &nbsp;I can still wear it open. &nbsp;Fit is a real problem for me, though. &nbsp;I'm constantly buying things in the wrong size, so I'm wondering whether crossing the arms comfortably is a requirement in people's minds... or what people think about the fit of the trench above. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-900880 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 21:29:44 +0000 Caro in Oz 900880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think # 5 looks good - as long as it feels okay irl I don't think the fit is an issue.<br /><br />I bow to the experts on the trench - I think it looks a little big on the shoulders but I don't need to layer much in winter:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trenchcoat#post-900861 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 21:05:00 +0000 Liz A. 900861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I got this Cole Haan trench at Nordstrom Rack yesterday. &nbsp;It's a size medium, and they also had a small. &nbsp;The small did fit, but when I crossed my arms it felt tight, and I definitely couldn't fit a sweater or jacket underneath. &nbsp;In these pictures, I'm wearing a thin sweater underneath. &nbsp;I also tried it with a jacket and it feels fine, not that I wear those very often. &nbsp;What do you think about the extra fabric around the middle? &nbsp;Did I get the right size?<br /><br />Also, these are my two existing jackets. &nbsp;I've gained 5-10 pounds since buying them. &nbsp;The brown one is still comfortable with a regular shirt underneath, because it is a stretch fabric. &nbsp;It even feels good when crossing my arms. &nbsp;The black zips up obviously, but it feels very tight if I cross my arms. &nbsp;Is crossing the arms a fit requirement?
