I have prints that include navy and brown, but don't like it in other combos with my coloring-except jeans + black.<br /> If I add to my water capsule, I'll use navy, but probably not any more in my regular wardrobe.<br /> I have the opposite problem re: pants, Robin, big hip to waist ratio. Ok I have many, many problems with pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-coat#post-2291874 Thu, 17 Nov 2022 11:23:17 +0000 Zaeobi 2291874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That makes sense - I suspected it was black but my screen sometimes does weird things to colour tints. </p> <p>I like navy too but found it was complicating things too much to keep it as a dark neutral in my wardrobe - chocolate requires a lot less thought to make it work (for me)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-coat#post-2291772 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 13:33:26 +0000 RobinF 2291772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit! Black and camel are a favorite combo of mine.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have always been an IT - no waist at all. That has definitely not gotten better since menopause. Makes buying pants very difficult but at least the waist is easy to hide. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-coat#post-2291770 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 13:19:33 +0000 Anonymous 2291770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay to more swimming and weight lifting! Especially swimming :)</p> <p>I'm ok with body changes. I know they're temporary so I don't stress it. It's very easy for me to gain and lose weight- so whatever. I'm much more concerned about what my body can do, and staying in good health! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-coat#post-2291760 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 11:43:12 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2291760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, this looks like a great outfit, just the kind of quiet yet interesting sophistication I associate with your new look. </p> <p>But then…. bigger shoulders related to aging and menopause? I wish! I need to up my swimming and weight-lifting, because I’m turning into a tough old string bean here. Enjoy that filler figure and milk it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-coat#post-2291752 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 11:17:05 +0000 Anonymous 2291752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all My bottom half is a bit bigger too, but I attribute that to chocolate and beer! Once my terrible awful no good season of work (meaning customer service) comes to an end, and I'm back in the field where I belong, I'll cut both back. </p> <p>The column of color underneath is black, not navy. Black is my favorite dark neutral. I like it if paired with warm or muted colors, just not with teal and purple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-coat#post-2291748 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 09:38:35 +0000 Star (Lise) 2291748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very chic outfit!&nbsp; Swimming probably is the reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-coat#post-2291738 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 08:33:59 +0000 Zaeobi 2291738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@suntiger is the underlayer navy or black? Either way, I'm sure it looks chic with the coat - the camel gloves are a good find too :)</p> <p>I've found the same thing lately re: shoulders - I used to avoid tote bags because mine have always been sloped, or so I thought... I've been swimming more lately too, so maybe you're right that that's causing it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-coat#post-2291728 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 08:02:22 +0000 Katerina 2291728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color palette.

I assumed it was from the increase in swimming, and I do some weight lifting- kettlebells and such.<br /> Or could it be one of those hormonal "edging up on 50" things?<br /> I joked to DH about being a She Hulk </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-coat#post-2291603 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 19:50:58 +0000 Helena 2291603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've gotten more IT too - what's that about??</p> <p>Anyways, I love this ... sophisticated and elegant palette, and lovely pieces.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxi-coat#post-2291596 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 19:34:43 +0000 Anonymous 2291596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have a good place for proper outfit photos- but here's my maxi coat ootd. Actually I had forgotten about the coat til Angie posted, but it's definitely more professional than the puffer I've been wearing. It's quite a lot longer on me cause I'm short! </p> <p>That said, it's just a bit tight at the shoulders. My shape has definitely shifted to be more IT, so thinking my next style evolution should go a bit more to Dramatic. Not full on cause my height, just with a bit more sharpness. Anyway I liked the neutral palette and wider bottoms. </p>
