I can't do coral though. And the belt on a trench bugs me (on me, not others). I need something that looks good but also works as a real coat. </p> <p>Gawd, the Burberry... I can't afford that - who would pay that much for my kidney anyway? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314287 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 02:10:48 +0000 MsMary 314287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a fan of the original anorak.</p> <p>LOVE the Burberry!!</p> <p>Also like the coral Nine West if you are set on an anorak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314284 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 02:07:04 +0000 Jonesy 314284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it but it is pretty casual. Are you looking for something a bit dressier (e.g., to wear over work clothes)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314187 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 23:59:13 +0000 Aida 314187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the anorak, but I don't find it very "dressy casual", just regular "casual" :\ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314158 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 23:37:52 +0000 nicoleb 314158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks nice!

I just checked on their site and didn't see any (mine is a few years old) but I know the fitted-and-no-belt coat is out there... just not easy to find. I always like coats w/o belts because they drive me crazy- too much fussing when you're going in and out a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314130 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 22:55:17 +0000 Anonymous 314130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This coat in hot pink is cute:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/anthracite-by-muse-ruffle-trench-coat-nordstrom-exclusive/3142548" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/an.....ve/3142548</a>? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314127 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 22:45:40 +0000 catgirl 314127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I just stumbled on the Burberry in my search for "anything fuchsia". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314125 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 22:42:51 +0000 kellygirl 314125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Swoon--love the Burberry!

For me a belt does not create a waist. It does nothing except make me look shorter and highlight my lack of waist. From your various posts, it sounds like you have the same issue. However, a coat that is tailored in at the waist, like your London Fog one, is perfect. I vote yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314028 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 21:15:48 +0000 julijuli 314028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would be very flattering, and current both in style &amp; color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314022 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 21:12:24 +0000 thimblelina 314022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks like a great coat... can't wait to see it on you! I know what you mean about trenches. I am trying one out, but still not sure... L. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314012 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 21:06:11 +0000 catgirl 314012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, I find the belt often hits at the wrong place on me, making me look more busty or wide, and the material is always stiff and bunchy. Do you have a specific suggestion? You look fab in yours, but I always look like a street corner perv or an 80s nighmare!</p> <p>ETA: Yet another issue is that so many trenches have collars that sit high, which give me the no-neck look - I need a collar that lies flat. Could I have more issues?!</p> <p>Kelly, this would be for casual/dressy casual. What would constitute a dressy but functional spring jacket? (Let me guess - a trench!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314001 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 20:47:29 +0000 AJ 314001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What don't you like about trenches? The belt creates a waist. Just make sure the lapel is on the medium to small size and/or doesn't point up towards the shoulders. A mid thigh length would be a nice dressy casual length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-314000 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 20:46:58 +0000 kellygirl 314000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that there is no belt. It looks like a sporty jacket but not in gear kind of way and the shoulder details give it a kind of military vibe. Is this to wear with jeans and casual pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-313999 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 20:46:26 +0000 rae 313999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. If I didn't already have an anorak, I would try this myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-poll-london-fog-anorak#post-313991 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 20:38:45 +0000 catgirl 313991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm realizing I lack a spring outerwear jacket that is not gear. I thought about a trench, but the choices are overwhelming and I don't find the fit flattering to me. I did find this at Overstock which I love in the fatigue color:</p> <p><a href="http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/London-Fog-Womens-Anorak-Coat/5672818/product.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.overstock.com/Cloth.....oduct.html</a></p> <p>What do we think as an all-purpose trench substitute? Or any better suggestions? </p>
