A higher collar DOES help with that look for an outdoor coat for my long neck and short hair. Thing I don't gravitate toward Chanel- style jackets for this reason, interestingly I've had better luck with " indoor" suit jackets in that style because the jacket volume is less and there might be jewelry or even collar detail to work with.<br /> I do think some kind of burgundy " small coat" would still be great, and I </p> <p>will wait to see what the fashion tides may bring in the future! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1537773 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 13:49:09 +0000 Angie 1537773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the pic, unfrumped. The shawl collared jacket looks super on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1537465 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 00:27:07 +0000 pil 1537465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No complaints about the sleeves here, but I like my coat sleeves a bit longer for coverage while driving. I really like it on you but was wondering if you would need a scarf and if so, how much trouble it might be? Like the one more thing to deal with on the way out the door kind of trouble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1535093 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 01:22:32 +0000 unfrumped 1535093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, &nbsp;Angie!<br />In pic 6 I am showing my existing YB gray&nbsp; &nbsp;novelty knit (?) &nbsp;with black&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;leather trim coat/jacket&nbsp;that I got winter before last. It has a kind of shawl collar that comes up high on the neck, and bit of fit and flare shape. I showed it because&nbsp;I have been wearing it with outfits &nbsp;that&nbsp;seemed similar to&nbsp;what I would wear with the&nbsp;Laundry jacket, and would likely compare them, or see if one worked better, with color, proportion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1535081 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 01:09:19 +0000 Angie 1535081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped, which YB coat?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534957 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 21:57:55 +0000 unfrumped 1534957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie raises a good point. I at first did not order it since it's a plain round collar, I would not buy a regular all- purpose coat without some kind of collar, funnel, tab. The YB coat, which is not getting much love here(!) , has more of a collar.<br /> So, I was weighing the benefits of the color and style otherwise, since I've really not come across something like it.<br /> I do wear occasional T neck and collars but usually not because I always have on a collar via work. So I would be considering it outfit- wise based on the best other items( colors, proportions). For example. I like Jules' comment on intentionality of pants fabrics and I need to see if my options highlight the coat crisply enough or are too murky.<br /> It could be the coat " wants" more specific items than I have every day and so is more fussy than versatile. I do believe in some impractical items, but would want eyes open in that.<br /> Good points to ponder </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534722 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 16:11:44 +0000 Janet 1534722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also wondered about wearing it with a collar or turtleneck. I do like the style for you -- it's classic but with a twist. The length makes it current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534707 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:56:18 +0000 Beth 1534707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm. I see Angie's point. How would this feel with a turtleneck, unfrumped? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534702 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:48:05 +0000 Angie 1534702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a bit of a spanner. Although you've blocked your head so I can't be 100% sure, I'm not convinced that the neckline is good. Your very long neck and short hair wants a collar, unfrumped. I know that all too well from my own body type. What do you think?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534697 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:43:08 +0000 Beth 1534697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love it. The sleeves seem slightly long, but not overly so, and the color is beautiful. It seems versatile enough that it looks great with the skirt, but would also be fab with jeans. Keepity-keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534692 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:38:37 +0000 Jules 1534692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it with the skirt. I think for a couple of reasons - yes proportions, but also, the skirt outfit is pattern/colour/texture rich all over to match the beautiful jacket. With the plain pants, it looks way less intentional.<br />In terms of proportions - I'm pearish and with tunic length tops and cardis, I like skinny pants with tall boots or slim straights and a chunky heeled shoe. Basically I am looking for a long leg line and little bulk on the bottom. I think even darker shoes would make a difference here.<br />But - I really love the skirt outfit, and I'd probably be happy enough with that to make it a keeper, assuming you have a few options like a darker shirt, perhaps a patterned shirt with plainer tights, or go totally maximal with patterned shirt, skirt and tights! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534622 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:08:03 +0000 unfrumped 1534622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Vix, and Firecracker.<br />I do think it works a bit better with skirts, due to "my" silhouette and leg line, but probably have some pants that are better than others with it.<br />I'm kind of with Susie, plan to do a fall review/edit in&nbsp; a&nbsp; few weeks and will put this coat through its paces with my warmer skirts, tights outfits, different tops, and some pants outfits. I do think it's an unsusual offering and so the competition would be more of a typical wool peacoat, walking coat or such, not usual blazers, and despite this being a typical fall color, I have not found much in the way of&nbsp;nice burgundy-colored toppers, so I'm hoping I don't just have sales-goggles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534413 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 02:32:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1534413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it on you! Especially with the skirt. Looks like a great fit open and closed, and sleeves look fine to me. It will be cute with jeans, too. Big keep vote here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534409 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 02:26:51 +0000 Vix 1534409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Unfrumped --</p> <p>I think it flatters open and closed, really like what I can tell re the color on you, and feel like it's pretty forgiving as far as working with skirts or pants.</p> <p>Seems like it'd be a good "keep" for your lifestyle and closet!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534379 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 01:29:59 +0000 carter 1534379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you unzipped. It may be the camera angle, but when it's zipped the proportions feel a touch off. The color is amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534367 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 01:19:48 +0000 Susie 1534367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it for you! I tried to love it for me too because I would have worn it as you described, when you need just a lightweight coat. I think the fit is just fine and that it will work nicely with boots and pants. It's lovely with the skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534339 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 00:56:03 +0000 Jaime 1534339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good and sleeves don't seem too long on me (wrong person to ask though). The color is great and the shape is much more streamlined and interesting than your other coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534334 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 00:51:14 +0000 Glory 1534334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like it on you and agree with Suz that it seems fresh. I think the shape is lovely for you and can work with skirts, pants and jeans. It can be casual and elegant depending on the supporting items. If your climate is moderate you will likely get loads of wear out of it. I think it is a keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534307 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 00:23:46 +0000 unfrumped 1534307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Joy, Suz, and Word Lily, thanks for comments!<br />I dragged out tights to try skirt because this color would go with lots of skirt/sweater outfits with gray and black tights and add some color and warmth. Suz, you are right, while I will burrow into warmer coat in deep winter, this is a good weight for "parking lot" coat and feels more stylish. <br />For pants it'd probably be better if they were skinny (but not on me) but I will try it with straight, long pants and boots which do give a longer legline, and maybe&nbsp;try column of color.<br />Also I would wear this as an "errand coat" with jeans, when&nbsp;&nbsp;heavy coat is too hot once inside but I'm too cold with&nbsp; no coat, even in grocery or mall or wherever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534295 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 00:12:10 +0000 Word Lily 1534295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sleeves don't look too long (to me), and it looks perfectly awesome zipped, doesn't seem ill-suited to your shape at all. I really really like this jacket, and it seems like a good fit for you! </p> <p>Oops, also meant to say, it looks great with the skirts!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534292 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 00:11:13 +0000 Suz 1534292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you. I think it works especially well with the skirts, but I think you'll find other ways to style it. And in your climate it could potentially get a lot of wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534270 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 23:55:59 +0000 Anonymous 1534270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it on you, especially compared to your grey coat. It has a fresh, modern look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-burgundy-coat--kr#post-1534265 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 23:48:47 +0000 unfrumped 1534265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trying the Laudry boucle coat in burgundy. <br />It looks better on Ummlila, but....<br />I tried it because of the slight fit through the waist, and the great color, and the texture.<br />I love those aspects of it.<br />Here's where need your critique please:<br />--Is it too fitted for pear-ness (may be made more for rectangle). I would wear it open mostly since I'm just grab &amp; go that way, but would want to zip when chilly.<br />--Are the sleeves too long? Pic 1 shows arm down full length.&nbsp;I never thought to try Petite, would have to be PM, I guess. I am not going to alter them. On the model they're shown rather short.&nbsp; I can "cuff" them, due to zips, but that's not its best look<br />--Do you think it works with pants and with pencil skirts, though an "unusual" length? I just tossed it on over random items-- pants in winter tend to be hemmed longer and worn over ankle boots, but the skirt-tights&nbsp;&nbsp;look is pretty typical. I put on a heavier knit sweater how well it would layer--it does, though thinner knits sweaters and blouses&nbsp; fit more comfortably.<br />Shown last is for reference, my Yoana Baraschi gray jacket that would somewhat "split wears" with the Laundry coat, except&nbsp;that they're color opposites-I tend not to wear the gray topper with&nbsp;&nbsp;gray tops &amp; bottoms, whereas the burgundy would go well over gray and black, and the burgundy would not go as well over other berry colors&nbsp;that are "too close but not" in color, so for those I wear the gray (or other coat).</p> <p>What say the eagle-eyed Fabbers? </p>
