My more casual raincoats are from LL Bean and my dressier one, that I used to wear a lot when I worked in an office and commuted by train, is Anne Klein, I think from Macy's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-longer-raincoat#post-1616608 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 05:36:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1616608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How long do you want it? I've found knee-length and longer ones by London Fog, and Mycra Pac makes knee-length and longer lightweight ones. I tend to see them at Nordstrom, though perhaps more in fall than in spring. </p> <p>Here are a few like what I've seen. . . The last one, in navy, is one that I bought last fall; it hits just below my knee, and I've found I really like that length--useful and not overwhelming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-longer-raincoat#post-1616574 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 03:22:52 +0000 Banoffi 1616574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed this trench coat at Ann Taylor that is longer. &nbsp; It comes in regular and petite sizes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-longer-raincoat#post-1616562 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 02:43:36 +0000 Anonymous 1616562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If your forest green coat is from Eddie Bauer, we were coat twins. I no longer have mine, giving it up when I found a long Burberry trench at a second hand shop. You might try resale shops for longer coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-longer-raincoat#post-1616561 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 02:41:44 +0000 unfrumped 1616561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the look of a classic longer trench especially if going for a really good&nbsp; one with longevity (no pun!).&nbsp; I think it has elegant nonchalance! I could use a&nbsp; light-colored neutral and if I were to get one, would go for a longer length.<br />Hard to line up all the factors-length, fabric, color, doo-dads (how much trench detail, double or single-breasted).</p> <p>But, I do see longer versions online in several brands. Nordstrom had some. Some were <u>too</u> long&nbsp; and dramatic for me, but some were knee-length.</p> <p>I do find I can use shorter trenches much the way some use oversized jackets--sometimes I want a light topper for transit, for warmth and for going in and out of office or on errands--the 3rd piece, if you will, &nbsp;but don't need to&nbsp; wear it indoors, so don't need a blazer, and so a short trench works with a variety of pants and skirts and I can play with some colors.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-longer-raincoat#post-1616554 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 02:25:33 +0000 Melinda 1616554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking for a new raincoat for a couple of months, and all I see are coats that stop mid-thigh. The rain doesn't stop there! I do have a gorgeous forest-green raincoat (with zip-in liner) that hits me below the knee, but it's from 20 years ago and the shoulders are just too much. I haven't worn it in 15 years, but I'm tempted to dig it out just for the coverage.&nbsp;</p> <p>Any suggestions?&nbsp; </p>
