And you wear black very well, so it seems like it'd go with most of your wardrobe. The fit looks good to me, not oversized or sloppy,&nbsp;especially since you're only wearing a thin sweater underneath.</p> <p>2 is nice too, and if you're looking for 2 wool coats I'd consider keeping it, but not if you can't move your arms comfortably. And it sounds like you only need to keep one, so go with the Betsy Johnson. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165552 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:35:15 +0000 rute 1165552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer 1 by far! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165550 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:31:59 +0000 kkards 1165550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, hands down. i like the color in #2, but the fit is nothing special.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165546 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:01:25 +0000 viva 1165546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first on you. It's by far the most interesting and flattering. I see what you mean that it might be a bit big in the waist, but from the pics you posted it does seen designed for a slightly roomier fit. Have you tried with a thick sweater underneath? It might be just right for layering.<br />For what it's worth, I really love how it looks on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165527 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 08:55:19 +0000 VernieJane 1165527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most definitely the first one!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165526 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 08:54:59 +0000 VernieJane 1165526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most definitely the first one!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165516 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 07:43:25 +0000 Ornella 1165516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not even reading your question, just looking at photos</p> <p>1. Stunning!<br />2. Nice, but not the end of the world if you pass.<br />3. Pass.</p> <p>Off to read the actual question now :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165507 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 07:06:49 +0000 rabbit 1165507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha <b>abc</b>! &nbsp;You weren't looking for size 8 perchance in the eggplant KC? So many appealing coats there! &nbsp;I was also tempted by the bright orange Micheal Kors coat..</p> <p>Hmm dilemmas. Thanks for all the insights! &nbsp;I'll happily take the Target coat back. &nbsp;</p> <p>My heart is really with the Betsey J coat, but not if it doesn't work. I think it's made to be a tiny bit more roomy purposefully (see photos on model below), it has shoulder pads to add volume&nbsp;and when the neck is buttoned all the way up&nbsp;I can't really see how a smaller size would fit at the very top. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />I'll take some pics so I can&nbsp;take a second look to&nbsp;scrutinize how it fits&nbsp;outside in the light tomorrow (and call around to other Macys to see if I can try on a smaller size). &nbsp; The fit is fine for wearing anything under it, it<i> feels</i> comfortable and not too big anywhere. But I want it to look that way too of course, and if it doesn't work I can take more time to find&nbsp;something that does.</p> <p>I really like the color of the purple coat, and it looks pretty sharp in person (and is made well), but I'm not very much of&nbsp;a classics girl. I wear them of course when they work for me,&nbsp;and appreciate but&nbsp;don't get super excited about them in terms of design. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165488 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 06:40:06 +0000 Gigi 1165488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of #2 best, and then #1. I wasn't crazy about no. 3.</p> <p>If you want to keep one, I guess you would have to decide whether you want more room (#1) or better looks (#2). But I am concerned about both of them, because it sounds like you're concerned about layering under them both. I would try them both on with some heavy-duty layers and see how it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165438 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 05:26:05 +0000 JAileen 1165438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 - looks too big through the waist. Button detail looks interesting, but it's just way too big on you, making you look shapeless.</p> <p>#2 - looks great. The belt cinches it up just right. Nice color, too.</p> <p>#3 - the placement of the plaid by the opening bothers me. It's not done well. That's a deal killer for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165418 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 05:15:13 +0000 Anonymous 1165418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Deborah. The first coat is a standout with it's flared shape. It sounds like the best fit to be able to move and layer a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165414 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 05:12:45 +0000 abc 1165414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! I just went to Macy's seeking a wool coat myself and tried on your 1 and 2 so I know them well :)</p> <p>I found the BJ coat was cut roomy. For me that didn't work but it does look nice on you. I think you have to decide based on your own likes / dislikes. </p> <p>I ended up with the black version of your KC coat #2. If only they had eggplant in my size, grr! I chose this one because of the more classic look and the tailoring seemed to be really well done to my eye. This one skews way more classic though so you need to decide for yourself what your style leanings are.<br /> To me the target coat doesn't compare on many fronts and I'd rule it out. </p> <p>Good luck and keep us posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165389 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:48:31 +0000 Deborah 1165389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My immediate reaction to your pictures:<br />#1 Stunning coat, love the cut and that it is black. From the pics I am having trouble seeing if it might be a tad big just cannot tell.<br />#2 the colour is just beautiful on you<br />#3 nice coat but not standout. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165374 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:31:42 +0000 Suz 1165374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You fixed the angle of the pics! Quick study!!&nbsp;</p> <p>This is tough. I'd rule the Target one out right away. The quality is probably not as high and it has other issues. The plaid is fun, but less easy to style and if it's an only knee length coat less versatile.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the eggplant -- but I'm not sure about the fit in the back from the photo (it looks a bit wrinkled or as if it's pulling) and if it feels snug, that's a problem. I hate it when coats restrict my movement and tend not to wear them when that is the case.&nbsp;</p> <p>It sounds as if you are excited about the black one and it looks fun. Hard to tell about the size - I suspect it's meant to be more fitted.&nbsp;</p> <p>Big help I am, eh? Oh dear. Sorry.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165370 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:26:17 +0000 catgirl 1165370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Considering nothing else but style I love 1 best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165369 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:24:56 +0000 Greyscale 1165369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Compared to the other two, the Target one is less well tailored and therefore less flattering on you, though definitely a cool fabric and the belt does help.</p> <p>I'd be nervous about a winter coat that fit snggly because I hate not being able to move my arms. (And I make this mistake too often with coats.) But either #1 or #2 look really sharp on you...</p> <p>If #1 is projecting your style I would definitely go for that one. The other is also really great but more classic. If you're the modern classic type, it's perfect, but based on what you said, it sounds like you're more excited about the unexpected look of #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165368 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:24:55 +0000 Sunee 1165368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The eggplant is nice! I don't like the checked one on you, even belted. Its too boxy. And the black is great, but looks a little too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-long-winter-coat#post-1165360 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:19:34 +0000 rabbit 1165360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Macy's president's day sale sucked me in, and had some great bargains on coats normally out of my reach when all discounts/coupons were applied. &nbsp;Not that much very cold weather left in the PNW hopefully, but I don't have either a long and/or wool/woolblend coat so it fills a hole going forward. &nbsp;Which one should I keep? Or should I pass on all?&nbsp;All are 60% wool blend.</p> <p>1) Betsey Johnson Corset flared coat&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/betsey-johnson-wool-blend-faux-fur-corset-flared-coat?ID=838806">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....?ID=838806</a></p> <p>pros: love the style which fits my look, fur collar is removable if wanted, black which is my wardrobe default, roomy enough to wear whatever under it, comfy when stretching arms various ways. &nbsp;cons: might be cut a tiny bit big? (it's in my usual size, but smaller sizes weren't available - may be intentional roomy cut) waist has a slight bit of room when buttoned over a very thin sweater, but probably wouldn't over thicker layers. &nbsp;I do have other black coats, not warm/long ones however.</p> <p>2) Kenneth Cole&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/kenneth-cole-reaction-wool-blend-side-buckle-walker-coat?ID=839298&amp;CategoryID=269&amp;LinkType=&amp;swatchColor=Concord#fn=GENDER_AGE%3DWomen%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D31%26kws%3DKenneth%20Cole%20Coats%26slotId%3D17">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....t?ID=83929</a>&nbsp;(like this, but with a tie instead of the side buckles.)</p> <p>pros: &nbsp;nice eggplant color, fits a little more closely, classic style. &nbsp;cons: &nbsp;might fit too snugly (it's a size smaller than my usual, so feels a little tight when I stretch my arms)</p> <p>3) Target merona &nbsp;pros: um, super affordable. &nbsp;I like the navy and check colors, but it's probably not quite as versatile a pattern. cons: waist has gathers rather than a tailored cut, members mentioned that&nbsp;belt might help (this is just an example, not the one I'd use).</p> <p>(note: &nbsp;my hair is usually a dark brown with highlights, and I'll go back to that soon. &nbsp;The black was an accident I'm living with until the roots show).&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for any and all feedback! </p>
