I find a shorter coat like that is one of my most used. The JCrew Lady Day is an entirely different cut particularly through the shoulders, back, and arms- very narrow from what I remember from trying on. Great if you don't need a lot of layers or use only thin ones but probably a lot more restrictive than what you've found here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1703156 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 00:02:43 +0000 Anonymous 1703156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz:</b> Yes, a scarf is a must!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd probably get the lady day coat with thinsulate.

You don't look bulky to me!</p> <p>I don't know how you midwesterners cope with your weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1703145 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 23:43:54 +0000 Suz 1703145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should keep it, honestly. It's gorgeous.&nbsp;</p> <p>Don't you wear a scarf to deal with the neckline thing? That's what we do up here in the frozen wastes of Canada, LOL.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lots of layers under, lots of layers over! &nbsp;</p> <p>I like the lady day coat too but the one without thinsulate isn't warm enough for the likes of our weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1703140 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 23:40:18 +0000 Deborah 1703140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous!

Yes! I wear my coat open a lot. I do like it open ... maybe even more than I like it closed.</p> <p><b>Angie:</b> My heaviest layer (shown here) is a top made of a sweatshirt material that's thicker than any of my sweaters, so I thought it was a good candidate for whether I could still move my arms. For our subzero temps, I wear: cami, knit top, additional layer (cardigan, sweatshirt-y top, lightweight knitwear) and a down jacket or wool coat. That's it, otherwise I'll pass out when I'm in a store. If I'm doing an outdoor activity I'll add long underwear, but I'd also wear a different jacket. I think we midwesterners have an extra layer of subcutaneous fat or something. We're also very sure-footed on ice! ;)</p> <p>I anticipate a wool coat as being something to wear when the occasion calls for something nicer than a down jacket, but also for fall, as it gets cold here mid-October and bringing out the down jacket seems premature. It doesn't have to be subzero warm, just warm enough to get me from car to building and back again.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is a size 12. No size 10 was available. Wool coats get restrictive through the shoulders, so sizing down sometimes looks a bit better, but feels worse.</p> <p>Where do you think it looks too big?</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1703109 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 23:14:06 +0000 Traci 1703109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's great on you! &nbsp;Do you like it open? &nbsp;Am I the only one around here who wears my coat open sometimes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1703107 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 23:12:43 +0000 Angie 1703107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(HAHAHAHAHA. I'm glad you helped Smittie find her pockets, Anne).&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm wondering whether you could have gone a size smaller since you're wearing your heaviest top layer - although it looks like a tee - no?&nbsp;</p> <p>You can laugh at very cold me. This is what I wear under a coat and I am STILL freezing when temps go below zero: </p> <ul> <li>bra</li> <li>cami</li> <li>thermal long sleeved tee</li> <li>very warm woolly pullover, and sometimes two</li> <li>leather jacket</li> <li>wool or puffer coat&nbsp;</li> <li>scarf, hat, gloves</li> </ul> <p>So I make sure that my heavy duty coats can accommodate all these layers. My lighter weight coats don't layer well with chunky knitwear, but CAN do all the layers.&nbsp;</p> <p>Coat has great potential.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1703099 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 23:04:10 +0000 MsMary 1703099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For realsies, I think it looks better on you than on the model! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1703077 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 22:40:38 +0000 Brooklyn 1703077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1703073 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 22:36:51 +0000 Zibbets 1703073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you.

(It really doesn't work on waistless me...you're lucky!)<br /> The thing I didn't like about my TT coat were the fake pockets. Hopefully yours has pockets, or you don't mind no pockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1702809 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 17:22:52 +0000 Anonymous 1702809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing my heaviest top layer underneath the coat. I figured my bottoms are never heavier than denim, so the cut-offs could stay.</p> <p>Before I found this coat, I was going to wait for J. Crew to come out with their lady day coats. I gravitate toward single breasted coats with collars that I can pop up to protect against elements and camouflage whatever I'm wearing underneath. I've included a pic of the style; ignore the yellow.</p> <p>I don't like it when what I'm wearing underneath distracts from my outerwear. I like my outerwear to cover it all so I can pop on my coat and look relatively put together without worrying whether my shirt clashes in an open neckline. This Trina Turk coat does have a more open neck, but not as open as other styles. But that's definitely something to consider.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1702799 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 17:13:26 +0000 Suz 1702799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, this looks like a beautiful coat!!&nbsp;</p> <p>And from what I can see, the fit and proportions are wonderful.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is difficult to judge when you are wearing summer things beneath. Did you try it with your more wintery clothing? I know that is painful to do at this time of year.&nbsp;</p> <p>From the evidence of this photo I would say you are quite slender and don't need to worry about added bulk. The question is, do you like a coat that wraps and ties?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1702784 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 16:56:44 +0000 RobinF 1702784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it on you. The length looks perfect. Sleeve length looks great. Love the color. I think it is very flattering as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-trina-turk-coat#post-1702779 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 16:49:48 +0000 Anonymous 1702779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was pumped about last night's Nordstrom Rack purchase here:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-rack-score">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....rack-score</a></p> <p>Cold, hard light of day assessment time! </p> <p>WHAT I LOVE:<br />I love the feel of this coat and the color. <br />I love the quality.<br />I love that it's not entirely wool, therefore not itchy.<br />I love the back of this coat.<br />I love the cuffs.<br />I love the overall design, although the collar doesn't spread out as much like it does in the product photo. I actually prefer that, though. Also, my coat isn't exactly like the one pictured, but it's close. My coat has visible buttons.</p> <p>BUT ...<br />I have a hard time judging whether heavy coats (wool, puffers) look good because I feel they automatically add weight to my midsection and bust. Mentally, I tolerate cold weather outerwear out of necessity (I live in WI) and try to find the most flattering of the unflattering.</p> <p>I can't figure out whether belted waists work or don't work on me. I took the tie off and it looked more matronly, but I can post a picture of that if you all want.</p> <p>So, what do you think? Like I said, outerwear is really hard for me to judge, so don't take my ambivalence as a reason to return it. I do like it, but could use unbiased opinions.</p> <p>Picture by an 11 y/o boy because my remote clicker wasn't working. </p>
