Which colours did you like best on you?</p> <p>By double zip, I mean “two-way” zip (not reversible). I’ve found this style feature flattering on all body types. The un-zipped bottom part gives added waist –definition. Even if you don’t use this feature all the time, it’s a nice-to have. I personally would not consider a body warmer without a double-zip feature – for men neither. Once you’re use to that look, it’s hard to go back. </p> <p>Body warmers are a good option for those that tend to overheat too (to your point). I’ve popped many male and female clients in them. I have the opposite challenge – they do not keep me warm enough. When it’s cold, I need covered arms too. I’ll have to enjoy body warmers on others </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-36071 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:34:14 +0000 Nicole 36071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so I finally made it into Sears to try on that Lands End puffer vest. It was very cute, and very inexpesive ($40). The diamond stitching detail was problematic for me though. The largest diamonds were right over my chest area, making my chest the focal point. I wouldn't say it made the girls look bigger--but it just drew the eye right to my chest. I've spent the last 27 years trying to draw attention away from my chest, so I just couldn't see myself being comfortable in the vest.</p> <p>BUT--I will suggest that anyone who is looking for a puffer vest, check this one out. The diamond stitching did create a visual waist -- which is very difficult to do with any puffer type outerwear. I fit into a medium, so it might not fit those of you who have trouble finding sizes that are small enough. Although, it does come in a petite XS.</p> <p>I really liked the colors in real life too. My friend Shannon said she did not mind the diamond pattern on my chest, and she thought I should have bought it. But we all know how far out of our comfort zone we are willing to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34706 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 12:15:15 +0000 Nicole 34706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to go to Sears and try it on...see how it fits.</p> <p>Why do you prefer me in grey, teal or berry? Do you think the lighter colors will wash me out? I'm not sure if I like it in any colors besides ivory and driftwood. The grey is okay, but it's a little too metallic--reminds me of a robot. The teal seems a little garish--maybe better in person.</p> <p>What do you mean by two way zipper? Zips up from the bottom and down from the top? Or do you mean "reversible"? Why would that be a deal breaker for you?</p> <p>I do think a vest will be very practical here. WE have plenty of days where it's cold, but sunny and a regular jacket is just too much. Or if I'm spending the day running errands and know I'll be in and out of the car and in and out of stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34702 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 05:29:17 +0000 Angie 34702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Anne! I appreciate your attention to detail. Quite right, NOT in fleece unless you're on the slopes.</p> <p>Just in case you thought I had you on: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2006/10/16/the-body-warmer/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2006/10/16/the-body-warmer/</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2006/11/15/bodywarmers-for-blokes/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2006/11/.....or-blokes/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34701 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 05:03:48 +0000 anne 34701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie I remember you like them! (just not in fleece, right). I put them on wish list for next australian winter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34695 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 04:20:10 +0000 Angie 34695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soooo, I actually like “body warmers” as I call them. (Does anybody remember that?) They can look hip and fab. </p> <p>I prefer the grey, teal and berry for you Nicole. Does it have a two-way zip? That would be the deal breaker for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34693 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 04:15:24 +0000 Nicole 34693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Green--I know what you mean about the impracticality of cream. I was at my son's baseball game the other day and was talking to another mom. She had on a white vest and the entire inside of the collar was stained with makeup. It looked awful, and even though I don't wear foundation, I am afraid of getting anything too light--especially on the inside of the coat.</p> <p>I think the issue with tan and beige is that it's not a flattering color on most women. It can drain you of color, and look drab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34691 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 04:12:19 +0000 greenglove 34691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the vest. I like the driftwood color. Does everyone here hate tan or camel? That is another thread. Ivory just seems so impractical to me, I don't know how everyone keeps those ivory jackets clean.<br /> Back on track, the vest does not look frumpy at all which is what I had usually associated with landsend.I think those stores are catching on and making more flattering clothes.<br /> If you get it, please post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34667 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 01:19:52 +0000 Amanda 34667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that you should try it -- it looks like it has waist definition and the colors are both good choices. Remember - leave no retail stone unturned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34663 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 00:55:46 +0000 Ana 34663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like both colors you picked out. The driftwood is like a light gold. It has some dimension, so I don't think it would wash you out (plus you have reddish hair that will contrast as well). I think you should at least try it. It does look more tailored, the puffs aren't really big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34652 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:59:41 +0000 tarzy 34652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. I think it's rather nice, for a down vest. I also like the ivory color. </p> <p>It's funny - just today I popped into Eddie Bauer, which is very similar to Land's End. They also cut their clothes a little "roomier" but I'm a little "roomier" these days too, I thought maybe I'd find jeans that fit. I tried on a pair that actually looked nice - nice dark rinse and they had a pretty decent rise. I might go back and get them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34645 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:48:59 +0000 Alecia 34645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cute, too. The key will be in the fit. And I like Land's End, too. I don't have anything from them but I appreciate their preppy styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34641 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:41:51 +0000 shiny 34641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34637 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:27:13 +0000 Laura 34637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey! I have to step up here to defend Lands End. I don't think they get enough credit. I have their baby cable cashmere sweaters and the quality is amazing.</p> <p>I did notice this vest in their catalog and liked it - didn't they have something layered under it too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34635 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:18:19 +0000 Tanya 34635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a cute vest, it seems to have some waist definition. I personally like ivory better than driftwood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lands-endi-knowi-knowbut#post-34634 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:10:01 +0000 Nicole 34634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know the sentiment for Land's End isn't very positive around here. The cuts tend to be a little too big, unfeminine and sporty. So please keep an open mind. I really like this puffer vest (in driftwood or maybe ivory):</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/AngelDownVest~185780_59.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/Ang.....038;sku_0=</a>::SEP&#38;CM_MERCH=IDX_00002__0000000141&#38;origin=index </p>
