All the cold climate people who have to endure a real winter are not fans, whilst I think it is totally cute, probably because there are only about 3 days in the year when I would wear something that warm! Clearly aesthetics has trumped practicality in my mind too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072817 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 04:44:08 +0000 catgirl 1072817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this is totally the shape of my Burberry zip off coat - it has a bell shape that caused some conflicting opinions on the forum.&nbsp; But it is a good shape for me to balance my shoulders.&nbsp; Love the blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072810 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 04:36:29 +0000 Deborah 1072810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see the seasonally confused aspect BUT I really just posted this because I thought it was beautiful. &nbsp;Puffers are not really required where I live and I would look like the michellin man in one so i was just thought the design of this was very beautiful and elegant .. I didn't really give a thought to practicality:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072670 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 02:19:34 +0000 Laurinda 1072670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Seasonally Confused.&nbsp;<br />I can't see&nbsp;wearing puffers (down coats) above freezing, or bare ankles below 60F (15C). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072667 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 02:16:52 +0000 rachylou 1072667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Sigh*.</p> <p>I love puffers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072481 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 23:27:13 +0000 DonnaF 1072481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A coastal California puffer coat?&nbsp; For those of us who might want to wear a puffer in a climate that doesn't require one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072434 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 22:33:39 +0000 Caro in Oz 1072434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour is beautiful - not a fan of this or&nbsp;puffer coats in general though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072387 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:43:26 +0000 annagybe 1072387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting thing is that it is sold out in both her links. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072375 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:31:40 +0000 kkards 1072375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I totally agree with you, but to me this was sort of like an Oscar dress, beautiful to look at, and needed for someone's real life, even if it wasn't mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072117 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 14:12:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1072117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - EXACTLY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072115 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 14:10:21 +0000 Suz 1072115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, our own biases colour everything!! My first thought was: Oh, boy, here we go again, seasonal confusion rules the blogosphere.&nbsp;</p> <p>AP is one of the worst "offenders," in my books, by the way. She drives me nuts. For a fashion spread, sure. For real life? Never.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not only would the wind get up the coat but she is wearing open shoes! You don't wear a puffer with bare skin, I'm sorry.&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay, off my soapbox now.&nbsp;</p> <p>In all seriousness, I love the colour and it's a pretty coat. But not practical for my life. I guess winters are so long for us that I look at puffers as "in the depths of winter" pieces. I hope they will have some semblance of fashionability, but the real goal is keeping warm. At any other time of the year, I'll wear anything <b>BUT </b>a puffer, because puffers are so necessary for the part of the year they're necessary. If that makes any sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072108 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 14:03:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1072108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous and I adore the color. But in my opinion it's not really a cold weather puffer due to the bottom bell shape and the amount of cold air it would let in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072075 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 13:24:25 +0000 Janet 1072075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See, isn't it funny how differently we all can see things? I saw that yesterday and said "no siree, never" -- this from a woman who is sensitive about making wide hips look even bigger. One could argue that a cut this extreme would simply camoflage, but my eye is poisoned to this look by my own body biases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072073 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 13:20:47 +0000 kkards 1072073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i saw this yesterday, and was drooling!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072033 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 11:43:28 +0000 Glory 1072033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice but I am with Ceit - you would be pretty cold in our region wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-the-perfect-puffer-coat#post-1072031 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 11:34:31 +0000 krishnidoux 1072031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning.
