The only additional complication for me is that sometimes I need to throw my outdoor jacket on indoors for extra warmth-- so it can't look too "coat-y". Glad you asked this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longer-jackets-for-in-between-weather#post-1590263 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 02:09:15 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1590263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoops, forgot to reply and say thanks to everyone's suggestions. I hadn't realized how much of a hole this is in my wardrobe, but now that it's been cold-ish but not rainy, the lack is becoming apparent. I'm definitely going to have to keep my eye out for appropriate coats in the future. Traditional trenches don't work for me with the double breastedness and the waist tie, but something with that feel and a slightly different silhouette would be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longer-jackets-for-in-between-weather#post-1588878 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 04:13:49 +0000 Anonymous 1588878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've bought a couple of trench length leather coats on consignment that fill this gap for me. One is black, and one kind of beige-blush. They feel right worn casually or dressed up. The leather keeps out the wind, so is warmer than fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longer-jackets-for-in-between-weather#post-1588843 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 03:04:48 +0000 kerlyn 1588843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see that particular jacket on the Kohls website anymore, but the Free Country toggle hooded soft shell jacket is similar.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longer-jackets-for-in-between-weather#post-1588840 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 02:59:28 +0000 kerlyn 1588840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was a hole in my wardrobe until this fall. &nbsp;Since I've also been wearing a lot more tunics and longer sweaters, I finally bit the bullet and bought a longer mid-weight jacket. &nbsp;It's still pretty casual, but it could be dressed up a bit. &nbsp;It falls mid thigh and has worked great over those longer layers. &nbsp;It's a gray Free Country water-resistant jacket from Kohls. &nbsp;It's already been worn a lot and should take me into the first few weeks of winter. &nbsp;I'm really liking it with leggings or skinnies and boots.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longer-jackets-for-in-between-weather#post-1588816 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 01:16:50 +0000 carter 1588816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it EVER gets cold here, I'll be wearing my "car-length" (mid-thigh) leather coat with most of my tunics.</p> <p>Some options for you:</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/StylePage-458675_AF.html?CM_MERCH=REC-_-FPPP-_-GGT-_-1-_-458675-_-461500" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/Sty.....5-_-461500</a></p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/vince-camuto-faux-leather-trim-walker-coat?ID=2193133&#038;pla_country=US&#038;CAGPSPN=pla&#038;CAWELAID=120156340003142127&#038;catargetid=120156340003053820&#038;cadevice=t&#038;cm_mmc=Google_Womens_PLA-_-RTW+Womens_Vince+Camuto+-+GS_Vince+Camuto+Coats-_-77183868781_-_-_mkwid_jK8JYlYs" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....d_jK8JYlYs</a>|dt_77183868781%7C-%7CjK8JYlYs</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/claire-asym-cutaway/4118335?cm_mmc=Google_Product_Ads_pla_online-_-datafeed-_-women%3Ajacket_sportcoat%3Ajacket-_-1189859&#038;amp%3Bcountry=US&#038;amp%3Bcurrency=USD&#038;mr%3AreferralID=f30807ec-97c8-11e5-9cda-005056941669&#038;gclid=COj7i5q-uckCFVA2gQodaZEF_Q" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/cl.....gQodaZEF_Q</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longer-jackets-for-in-between-weather#post-1588781 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:16:13 +0000 missvee 1588781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a pea jacket in a fun colour? I think you can find them in a fairly decent length, say mid thigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longer-jackets-for-in-between-weather#post-1588777 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:10:50 +0000 Dee 1588777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel that this is the niche that the mid-thigh or knee length trench fills perfectly.</p> <p>That said, I seem to prefer hip length coats in the fall too because they are so much easier to get around in, so I just have hems peeking out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longer-jackets-for-in-between-weather#post-1588759 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 22:19:01 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1588759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Went to put on my jeans-jacket-cut-but-wool-fabric jacket over my outfit today, which includes a low-hip length boyfriend cardigan, and it looks super-goofy with a foot of the cardigan hanging out below. I think there might have been a conversation here recently about this issue, longer tops with shorter jackets - I know that you don't *have* to always wear a coat longer than your dress/top anymore, but with the lengthening of tops and looser layers it seems like the mismatch is more exaggerated.</p> <p>A lot of my fall/light winter jackets are shorter, i.e. waist to high hip length, like a jeans jacket is. But these days I often wear longer cardigans, tunics and longer sweaters, etc., and wearing a shorter jacket over those outfits just looks odd. I don't always need a proper wool coat or anything; I have a couple of those but those are overkill for most of our winter. </p> <p>Anyone have any suggestions? I've got shorter faux leather jackets, and raincoats and wool coats that are longer, but the only thing I have in an in-between weight at a longer length is made out of sweatshirt fleece and thus is very informal and looks odd with nicer outfits. </p>
